[arr] Re: Highlighted are J-L's digs at ARR.....a question 4u??
J-L have disappointed me big time. I guess this is what makes Rahman Sir Great, although he is at the top, he never says "I'm THE BEST, my music sells more than XYZ". He is very hubmle and down to earth inspite of being one of the best composers of all time. Many have criticized him, tried to belittle him, but i must say they have wasted their breath. Rahman Sir is a class apart, and mere words of frustrated composers are taking nothing away from him. ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, ar rahman djs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > well i agree that JL ive hits. but can he make a single hit in Tamil, Telugu, or Hollywood? > the answer 4 this question will be the answer for this topic. all of u knows that Rahman can make hits in all of these languages even Chinesehehe. hw long they gonna keep selling the KKHH. i hope all of u can find the diff between these movies. keep in ur mind that the movie itself contribute to the sales of the album. is KKHH is a terrorist based movie like Dil Se?come on guys Dil Se is a much more harder subject than the lovely KKHH. > > If their music speaks.

[arr] Re: Highlighted are J-L's digs at ARR - Flash Flash !!!
Flash Flash !!! KKHH sold more copies than Dilse in India, but in an ironic way Dilse sold huge number of copies than KKHH in West. West seems to have good taste for our music than ourselves ! They choose it as a title song for a movie, ESPN chooses it as promo for mets vs yankees game, and yet, yeah! as some people beleive KKHH is a gem of music. Now talk about facts please ! JL digs against ARR shows nothing but jealousy towards him. Be a sport JL. How come you have a heart to make comments on the down to earth guy like ARR. If you can, please try to give us good music, but until then please shuddup!

Essentially what Jatin Lalit are saying is that their album KKHH sold more copies than Dil Se. First of all, those were the facts. And secondly, they are not belittling the music of Dil Se at all! In fact, it shows that the current phase of music listening is wired to listen more to 'entertainment' music than 'classic' music. I have grown tired of people putting down other music-director's music, implying that only Rahman can create good music. Of course, I believe with all of Rahman fans, that he is the best. But, even Rahman appreciates good music by other people. The focus should be on good music, not on rebelling against non-Rahman music. Jatin Lalit have been praised by even Rahman at times, as having their own original style of music. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai till date remains one of the most popular love songs of this generation. Pehla nasha, all songs from DDLJ, Khamoshi, Ghulam, Sarfaroosh, Chalte Chalte, Yes Boss, and all the way to Fannah -- they have some impressive line up of gems. And something JL really brought to Bollywood was the youth feel combined with RDBurman touches, to provide very up-beat and feel good music. And as far as the genre of marriage numbers is concerned, Jatin Lalit do take the cake with bringing in a new dimension to that.

[arr] Re: Highlighted are J-L's digs at ARR
Gopal thanks for the clarification. But still, somehow I fail to see how this 'directly' related to Rahman. Albeit, he did have long hair then, and did have delays with producers -- this comment to me seems generic. I think here the frustration on JL's side is that inspite of coming up with good melodies, they haven't ever been acknowledged as No 1 yet. Their point of argument is that they don't change appearances (in today's world - Himesh) and they don't create fake arrogances (in today's world - Himesh, yet again) -- to create the impression of greatness. I have read various articles where JL have acknowledged Rahman's music and its greatness. So, I think this article / quote is totally out of context. More over, I also fail to see the need of bringing such cynicism to the group that should be more focused on great music, and Rahman. Am I wrong in expecting that? -Ricky --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I guess what people are taking offense to, are these lines > > "Just because we don't wear our hair long and keep producers > waiting > > outside our door we haven't been acknowledged as No 1 yet," the > > brothers complain rightaway, and then assert, "But our music speaks" > > for itself.

[arr] Re: Highlighted are J-L's digs at ARR
Look at happened to these people (Jatin-Lalit) who spoke ill of AR Rahman...their music speaks for itself, it seems...today they both are not in speaking terms...LOL...just kidding... THE HIT MEN Jatin-Lalit stake their claim to fame Sangeeta Mahadevan The mood's militant. And why not? After all Jatin-Lalit have composed the music for five hits this year - Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Ghulam, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. "Just because we don't wear our hair long and keep producers waiting outside our door we haven't been acknowledged as No 1 yet," the brothers complain rightaway, and then assert, "But our music speaks for itself. We're the best." At this very moment, Jatin-Lalit are in the midst of finalising tunes for Aditya Chopra's next, which is scheduled to start some time in February-March'99. And they've also been signed on for Shah Rukh Khan-Juhi Chawla's joint production, for which they've just recorded a song. Patting themselves on their back, the duo says, "Every TV channel has our title song for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Some months ago, Aati kya Khandala from Ghulam almost became the national anthem. Apparently tourism in Khandala has gone up by 30 per cent after the song." They assent to the fact that the songs of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai picked up only after the film's release. "That's because the songs are situational. People had to see the film for the music to grow on them," says Jatin. "However we knew we had a major hit on our hands, because at the premiere itself, we got a standing ovation from the industry. Check with the music distributors. Kuch Kuch albums have sold more than AR Rahman's Dil Se." Jatin-Lalit both see red when I point out that Karan Johar and his buddies made a major contribution to the music of KKHH. News is that the popular title track is actually a tune conceived by actor Jugal Hunsraj. "No one can take away the entire credit due to us," the duo retort. "We admit that Jugal did contribute a little to the title song but the entire tune is not his." Evading the topic, they emphasise that they've delivered with the other flicks of the year. "We also came up with excellent music for Khamoshi and Yes Boss," they stress. "If we were flukes then we couldn't have fooled the industry for so long. Really it's so very frustrating to justify one's worth to the media. Just because we don't scream from the rooftops about how good we are, you guys don't take us seriously." The duo have also just completed work on Kundan Shah's Loveria, Sanjay Chhel's Khubsoorat, John Mathew's Sarfarosh and Sunny Deol's Dillagi. Wonder whose idea it was to rope in Aamir Khan to sing for Ghulam and Jatin-Lalit say, "It was Vikram Bhatt's idea. On our way to Film City one day Aamir sang a number which he wooed his wife Reena with. We asked him to give playback for Aati kya Khandala because there was so much emotion and warmth in his voice. But even we couldn't have imagined that the song would become so popular." The composers have been composing music mainly for the movies of Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. "But that doesn't mean that we don't give our best for Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt or Sunny Deol," they insist. "Music doesn't know any barriers. A good tune just happens. Even if we tried, we couldn't do a Khamoshi again. Every song in the film was memorable.' They're staunch RD Burman fans. "It's sad that the industry didn't give him his due in the last few years of his life," Lalit laments. "I wish Panchamda had been around when 1942-A Love Story was released. Its music still haunts us." "We don't believe in imposing our favourites on producers like some other composers do," Lalit thunders. "Jatin sings extremely well. He's even bringing out a private album as a singer. But we don't force film-makers to use Jatin's voice. Our sister Vijayeta sings beautifully, too. She even does her riyaaz regularly. Yet we don't force producers to give her songs." And what about badi didi Sulakshana? Talk is that she's out of work...and is upset by the fact that even her own brothers haven't stood by her? "Sulakshana has lost her touch," says Lalit. "As brothers, we'd like to help her out. But we cannot harm our career by insisting on her. "We're cool with everyone," they say, mentioning the names of Udit Narayan, Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik and Kavita Krishnamurthy in quick succession. "And we do as we're told by the film-makers."
