reminds me of the dialogue from movie Avatar "What the hell are you guys
smoking out there IBN?"...I am from Kerala and I know for a fact that Yodha
changed Malayalam film music. I have met the director personally and he had
commented that it was one of the best things that happened to Malayalam movie
industry and he is proud of the fact that he is the only director in the
Malayalam movie industry to have worked with Rahman. Also Yodha got M G
Sreekumar his first state award and those days any function had the songs from
Yodha played back to back.I have a response to the other albums. If you are
expecting every song in the album to be a super hit it is impossible not that
it has not happened in the case of Rahman, but just look at the number of hits
he has given in the past 5 yrs and compare it with any other artist in the
world. Fact is the number is far to high. So all the media fools out there stop
comparing and mind your own business.The Indian
News/Media industry people are those who set up cameras at various strategic
points during the 26/11 attack and let the terrorist make the whole attack a
cakewalk. And at the end of the day there were weeks and weeks of talk shows
and harassing innocent victims of the incident for more prime time viewing and
thus more money. Its so pathetic.Its the same thing that they did to Sachin
Tendulkar. The movie "Mumbai meri jaan" is the true representation of the media.
I'm glad that there are people who can make out the difference between good bad
and ugly.cheerssHyaM

This should be top most article of Top ten IBN duds.
Honestly i am not a Rahman song but rather calls myself fan of good music. But
this article did enough mudslinging against Rahman who is today incomparable to
any music directors to take the Indian music to world stage. People who haven't
achieved anything in their life are taking this as a opportunity to belittle
him.

WTH u r saying?? Have u lost ur mind??Kadhal Desam,Jeans
& Lovebirds are super hits in south??VTV,Parasuram &Yodha are also
hits...I'm asking one question to u.Have u listened to these albums??

it is a fact that rahman has been on the downhill for sometime
now and has not come up with anything great or worthy of his name. i feel he
composes more from his head than his heart and his music is more wizardy than
soul. jeans, lovebirds,kadhal desam, vtv had one or two hummbale numbers each
and thats all. probably he is confused asto whether he has to compose pure and
simple music or go high funda to live upto his name. the result is that the
confusion reflects inhis music.

What a joke! This is the duddest article ever. Which world is the
author of the article living in? Do you have any idea of the number of copies
sold of vinnathaandi varuvaya or kaadhal desam or jeans or love birds or do you
have any idea of the music in those albums. I doubt if the author of this
article has ever listened to any of these albums. Atleast, before publishing
some non-sensical article like this, the author should try to justify by
providing numbers. I request IBNlive to take responsibility and share the work
with someone knowledgeable enough. This is one silly article.

None has born yet to review @arrahman 's tracks..!! So just keep
ur mouths shut and enjoy his compositions..!! The above mentioned list is plain
rubbish..!! Only the movies wen unnoticed, not the music. And to remind you,
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is classic..!!

I am a journalist myself and it is sheer unfortunate to
see someone write an article without doing any homework. To whoever has written
this article, most albums that you have mentioned in the article have been
blockbuster hists and is still reverred throughout. VTV has been the most
refreshing album released last year and the songs of which have been
appreciated
by non-tam speaing population as well. So listen and then write your article.
Why is everybody busy comparing the Swagatham song to Waka Waka or to his best
'Vande Mataram'. If the song had sounded any similar, all would have called him
copy cat and now when he is done something different, you do not want to
appreciate it.

I normally dont comment on any article. This is the
first time I am commenting because I have been compelled to do so. Whomever
wrote that article, was he checking with Hindi versions of those albums only or
does he have any concrete reasons/statistics to support that stand. VTV, Jeans,
Kadhal Desam and Love Birds are all huge hits. Maybe 1 or 2 songs in them might
not do well. Infact VTV is ARR's best album of the year. Jeans was a superhit
because of the music and songs. God please save us from these baseless
articles.
If you want, specify the tracks and not the full album. Then we will see
whether
it was hit or not. Remember ARR has huge hits in Tamil and some of his best
numbers are in Tamil before coming to Hindi. Let me ask you, do you remember
the
songs in BABA but not Jeans???

The music's not peppy enough, lyrics are too shallow and ARR
should have definitely not sung it. The song is meant to cover a sporting event
but sounds more like amateur lounge music. And how often do people remember
songs in foreign languages. I believe that the lyrics should have had a
reasonable amount of English lines so at least our international guests could
sing along with it. All in all, a disaster worth 5 Cr. But one never knows, if
"Jai Ho" won ARR an Oscar, "Swagatham" may not go down that badly.

This list is full of wrong info ...music of
'Jeans','Mr.Romeo' and 'Kadhal Desam' are much hit in south..

This is utter non sense... VTV was one of Rahman's
best...also don't forget he received national award for Jeans....
from smabbas_u at 12:41 PM, Sep

Well ..i think 'Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya','Jeans','Mr.Romeo' and
'Kadhal Desam' doesnt belong to this list.. Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya is one big
hit here in the south.. Just mention the word 'Hosannah' to anyone here..and u
could see the magic in their eyes..Its gonna win many awards here.. 'Jeans' is
a
big musical hit and a blockbuster movie just for the music of Rahman. 'Kadhal
Desam' was another big hit and that was the one which impressed Sony Music and
booked Rahman for Vande Mataram..the first Asian to be booked by Sony Music Co.
So please do a complete research before publishing facts..

Our people over-hype everything and the same is with A.R.Rahman,he
should have kept to his basics than trying to do something out of the world.
