Re: [arr] Re: 'That's not the way to sing Vande Mataram'
A nice mention by Rivjot bro..! Not so long ago...with due respects, Usha Uthap sang the original Vande Mataram in her own style..there wasn't any hoopla and cry about it..!

I think this is the order of things before a new ARR album: 1) Tentative date of music release appears online in the media. everyone is excited, yippee, hooray, can't waitetc. etc. 2) First promo is released. ARR fans download the audio portion everywhere..play it in their ipods, their cars, their super stereos, even if the clip is 20 seconds in bad sound..but it's new ARR music... Discussions abound.is it good? ARR skeptics and naysayers chime in..I'm very disappointedalbum will be badwhat is ARR thinking 3) Some funny person named Gopal in this group releases a fake track list and half of all ARR fans everywhere believe it. 4) Music release date comes.people go to the stores to ask about the CD...but no CD and store people give them funny lookseven claiming never having heard of the film.disappointing trip back home. Where's the CD? I thought it was going to release today! Huh? What's going on??? Chaos, questions, uncertainty.. 5) New music date announced in media! Is it true? What's the source? Can we trust it??? Yes, this time it's for real! 4) THE REAL track listing is provided by Gopal and posted on the official AR websiteexcitement builds, tensions mountAR fans starting to drool.. 5) New music release date comes.people flock to stores, wait anxiously on the computers searching download sites...but.where's the music? Where's the CD? What's going on? ARREY YAAR...KYA HORA HAI??? Music was supposed to release today Realization sets in that the launch function was set for the day, but CDs will take time to come out, another 2 weeks, due to T-series screwing up something. 6) Another music release date comes out by T-series.AR fans everywhere very apprehensive...but willing to wait..wait...wait.waitthe waiting gets harder everyday.. Will T series deliver? 7)Another promo is releaseda new songsomething to chew on while we wait for the feast...more discussions, more analyses, more downloads.more doubts.this doesn't sound like ARR...album will flop..I don't have a good feeling about this...etc. etc. People on this group tell these people to shut up and not judge a whole album just by the clips (but inside, they're worried) 8) T series release date is changed again the day before the expected release date due to problems in packaging and distribution.AR fans everywhere curse T series, calling it bad names, asking why AR albums releases are always botched up and why always with T series...

[arr] ARR singing in an ARR Hindi album usually forebodes well.......
and ARR not singing in an ARR Hindi album has not yielded good results BO wise in terms of music and movie usually..not always...but for the most part..

How many of these music albums were a hit commercially? How many of these movies were a rage? You see? It's only a correlation and of course, we all love many of the songs from these albums..but...AR not singing an a Hindi album has not correlated with good commercial success in the past both music and movie. Now, think of all the Hindi albums that AR did sing in the past 10 years. Lagaan, Saathiya, Swades, Yuva, Bose (movie never released), Rang De Basanti, Guru, Jodha Akbar, Jaane Tu, Ada (movie never released), Delhi 6.

Re: [arr] ARR singing in an ARR Hindi album usually forebodes well.......
Not necessarily. Ghajini is one of the biggest movies of all time. The music of zubeidaa is classic. Two of the hit soundracks you listed never saw the movie even seeing the light of day.

[arr] Re: ARR singing in an ARR Hindi album usually forebodes well.......
Ghajini was biggest hit of 2008 and still is 2nd biggest grosser of all time (after 3 idiots). Delhi-6 was not hit (movie). Some people still consider Swades average grosser, though in my opnion it was extremely good moie. So I am not sure how you categorized them.. because 'flop' list has gems like Meenaxi, Yuvvraaj, Zubiedaa LOBS - I think it was decent at BO... and Bose, I am quite sure that it was released in theatres, just that I havnt seen it on DVD.
