Re: [arr] where is sukhwinder?????????

2009-02-27 Thread dhina_arr

If ARR has not introduced Sukhi some other music director would have 
done that same way if sukhi has not sung JAI HO some other 
singer would have sung that..even ARR could have.. who knows..

The Song won the award because of the tune,music... not because of 
Sukhi or Gulzar...i don't think academy members know hindi to 
understand the Lyrics..

So the credit for JAI HO's win should go to ARR only... Gulzar won 
because he was part of it.. if any other lyricsist would have 
written the song they would be the winner now..

just my thaught.. not offending Sukhi or gulzar..

Re: [arr] The top 10 greatest AR Rahman film soundtracks

2009-02-25 Thread dhina_arr
It seems this list is taken only considering songs (except Bombay 
theme)..

What about background score? If you include BGM also then my list 
would be..

1.Bose The Forgotten Hero
2.Warriors Of Heaven And Earth
3.Swades
4.Lagaan
5.Bombay
6.Rang De Basanti
7.Kannathil Muthamittal
8.Roja
9.Dil Se
10.Boys
