If I am required to answer that then there's no use having fans group like this. How many composers would have the, to put it crudely, balls to compose a track like Puthiya Manitha for a Rajini movie? Every single one of them would have opted for a song with hundreds of folk drums playing a crass tune whose novelty wouldn't even last the movie's run in theatres. But no Sir! Rahman is not from that stock, and that's why he is great. He will give what the situation in the film requires without any fear of the repercussions. He may have fallen many times while innovating, but he has the courage to pick himself up and innovate some more. He is not a template. If most of the times we are baffled at his tunes the first time we listen to it, it's because of this. I wouldn't have been his fan if he gave me exactly what I wanted. I am his fan because by his courage he is pushing the boundaries of my taste in music. Having said that I don't think anybody needs to like a piece of art just because it's from someone. Like the quote from Evelyn Beatrice Hall often wrongly attributed to Voltaire, I will disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. But please chose you words carefully, as they have a tendency to have a life of their own. Sometimes they can hurt, even when you don't intend to. Jarshad NK
