Recently came across this article:

Also many of the tweets(a lot), mentioning ARR sir, is voicing the same
concern.

Re: [arr] LEBARA Mobile Tune by ARR (Better Quality)

[Nidhin]

The official site(http://www.lebara.com/lebara_music.php
<http://www.lebara.com/lebara_music.php>  ) used the term 'FREE AR
Rahman Lebara Tune'.
  That's why I shared the link Saw the details about iTunes listing
now only.  :(
Will delete the shared file asap.

Re: [arr] LEBARA Mobile Tune by ARR (Better Quality)

[Nidhin]

I saw the title in the lebara site as 'Lebara free tune'. Thats why I shared 
it. Later only I knew that it was listed in iTunes. So I have removed the 
file..

Re: [arr] VTV Hindi remake

[Nidhin]

Hi Kishore,
   I read your earlier post saying that there were no hindi VTV or Kaakha 
Kaakha as per the information given by Gautham Menon's assistant:

"By the way, VTV HINDI REMAKE news is just a rumour. I spoke to Gautham's 
assistant recently. It is not going to happen! Kaakha Kaakha remake with John 
Abraham is also a rumour!"

   But on may 11th, harris jayaraj tweeted that he has come back from the 
composing session of hindi Kaakha Kaakha(Directed by Nishikant Kamath and 
produced by Vipul Shah).
 Gautham Menon's assistant would have probably meant that Gautham won't be 
directing those films.

[arr] Re: ARR: Rahman won't be available for film scores during most of 2010

[Nidhin]

  Hi Kitcha Swamy, even though I agree with you that concerts will be 
helpful to Rahman sir to increase his popularity, I think the first statement 
is a bit exaggerated when considering the people in west. We need to be 
realistic even if we are diehard fans. Rahman sir may be popular in the 
west(more after the Oscars), I think it is not that big compared to other pop 
stars or composers there. His works and concerts from now on will be 
determining his extent of popularity in the west. 
 So lets pray and hope that Rahman sir will achieve even more greater heights.

very small portion and thanks you mentioned the right word similarity
than saying anything else.  But did you also notice the guitar notes in
the beginning of iktara song it's much like the song "pyar ki batein"
from the album tera mera pyar which was nothing but on the same tune of
"chandini raatein" earlier sung by a Pakistani singer and later remixed
in recent years.

[arr] Small Similarity between Iktara and One Love

[Nidhin]

 I respect Amit Trivedi for his compositions. Yesterday, when I heard
Iktara, I suddenly noticed the Iktara part in the song was similar(not
copy) to the chorus part in One Love(Taj Anthem) song. Does anyone feel
the same?

Re: [arr] Anbil Avan and Additional voices tune from Aaromale copied from Nepali Tune.

[Nidhin]

I wonder that some people have not heard these highly popular Hindu and 
Christian wedding tunes used in 'Anbil Avan'(almost everyone would have heard 
these tunes in movie wedding scenes even if they aren't part of hindu or 
christian communities). It is very clear that this blend is used to represent 
blending of two cultures. Very sad that people make accusations without 
checking facts.
