Re: [arr] Rahman's policy earning him detractors?
So far, I read all the reviews blog sent by Gops others. Most of the reviews gives importance to ARR's music praises ARR's BGM Songs. I think there is no need of this discussion at this moment. -Siraj On 2/16/08, Matthew Islam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Independent reviews on the music have been lukwarm somewhat but in the context of the film being reviewed overallJA as Gopal states was received very generously...so...

Re: [arr] Rahman's policy earning him detractors?
Most reviews have praised Rahman's music quite generously. One went as far as
describing it as the real hero of the film.

Hi,
Rahman recently opted out of OSO on the issue of rights and royalty. As a
result he had to walk out on an SRK production (which went on to become a big
thing). Both these acts seem to have given ARR's image a different tinge that
is reflecting in the music section of the reviews of JA. I am yet to come
across someone (apart from Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN) who has wholeheartedly
praised the music of JA during his/ her review of the movie. Being an ARR fan I
just adore the music. I think it fits the grandeur and scale that Ashutosh
Gowariker has envisioned. It cannot be possible that the movie is rated as a 4
on 5 and the music is just 'passable'. How can that be? That means either the
reviewer has not paid attention to the music while watching the movie or it
must be the 'tinge' that I am talking about working its effect. As a Rahman fan
I am disappointed by the movie reviewers giving a lukewarm response to the
music. And am sure as my fellow fans you are
too, hence this mail.
Having said that I must also reiterate my support for Rahman in his policy of
having a share in the rights of the music. As the creator of the music he
certainly deserves a share of the money that these buggers make out of selling
it. Of course he might not get the major part, but some part he certainly
deserves. So he is asking for it and we stand by him. My question after this
long mail is: Do you think that this policy of his is earning him detractors?
Or do you believe that people are seriously not moved by the music of JA as is
indicated by most reviews?
Just throwing open something for discussion. Feel free to let me know if I have
gone wrong somewhere.
Love,
Adi.
