Re: [arr] I truly do not believe most people endorse the following statement:
As per his music taste its mediocre. Would you be coming up with 'Who are we to say..' had he said all his works are path breaking and music redefining? Whose music taste are you talking about? ARR's? Kishore's? Giving an opinion is definitely acceptable. But making it to sound like a fact is not acceptable. I wouldn't mind if someone feels that Jai Ho's music is path breaking...maybe it is for them. But if he says it as a fact, then yes, I would have a problem with it. Likewise, I wouldn't mind if Kishore (or anyone for that matter) thinks that Ghajini is a mediocre or below average album. But when you undermine another person's interest/taste for liking the same, esp when you quote something like there are people to praise any mediocre or below average work from him (Eg: Ghajini), then yes, you can bet that I'll have a problem with that! Btw, I don't like Ghajini but that doesn't make it a bad album. I hope you get my point. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, raj arr_naga...@... wrote: As per his music taste its mediocre.

Re: [arr] I truly do not believe most people endorse the following statement:
Yes, Please spare ghajini. and yes, please don't make assumptions.we are here for a reason. the reason why we bacame the FANS. we are not analyzing the music of a debutant Music director here.18 years is not short period or a shortime wonder! so , better assumption would always be okay..this is not my type ..but there are a lot who like this. Or This is my Type! but yea, there could be others who don't like it. otherwise what we are doing is doubting ourselves here!

Only those members who can understand and internalize the essence of the above would make a good critic. I also didn't like Ghajini much (except kaise mujhe tu, later on) but I just said that it was not my type of album. I din't go bashing it. It is ok with me if others like it. -- Rawat
