dear friends

i read all of your comments very carefully, i agreed it but there are 
some main facts which no body can ignore even he is ARR's fan or any 
other MD's

these are some points: 

* A. R. Rahman brought for the first time original hindi music in 
world.

* he has his own and very creative style that other MDs don't.
* whenever he scores for his next project, he always composed it as 
its his very first project. (this the main reason that every time his 
sounds like a difference).

yeah, if MDs like Himesh and yuvan or whatever who are.. if their 
songs are going on streets and over all boundries, then due to just 
their tempo (only music related persons can understand), not their 
creativity.

now the main thing and fact.. A R Rahman is the No. 1 ever, ever and 
forever..


thanx and nice to be wrote from your ways

2006-05-02 Thread parimi sreekar



i think rahman should reduce giving importance to story line.u see most of the hit music is from pure commmercial movies.not many such commercial movies have good & different scripts.if anumalik can give such good music for Mein hoo naa or any recent hit movie u take imagine what rahman can 
do.i think rahman wants different situations for songs.not the common romantic numbers.he doesnt get such different situational songs to compose for these commercial movies.also for last 5 years i have not seen him working with a new director or with young director(in hindi).hes working with bengal,mani,shankar,asuthosh 
etc.he should also work with young breed of MDs who have lot of talent in them.i remember the response for nee manasu naaku telusu(E 20 U ..)  & boys.from my college mates.most of them loved it & danced to those 
numbers.so if rahman works for such films more he will  reach masses once again.we should not forget that rahman shot fame with such  films those days.A swades ,MP,Bose doesnt reach masses as that of commercial films.but i cant understand one 
thing.he deos that only with hindi films.He chooses such commmercial films in telugu & tamil but in hindi he bounds to script for choosing a film.Also hes costly & takes some time(sometimes).even that is also making some of the new commercial directors not to apprach for 
him.otherwise who doesnt want rahman to b MD for their film.this is just my opnion of why rahmans music is not at its deserved position & why other MDs getting better sales.

Point well made. Although Maruti does sell more than mercedes, when 
it comes to class and perfection, comes nowhere near it. Maruti is 
aimed at th aam junta. Where as a Merc is for those who enjoy and

well written krrish, yes u r right that himesh's albums sell more 
that rahman and thats because auto and taxi drivers buy cassetes and 
most of the youngsters buy MP3's or download these songs but to say 
he is the NO.1 is too much. even maruti 800 sells more that 
mercedes. that doesn't make it the NO.1 car? if rahman comes in his 
music videos im sure he's gonna sell more than himesh any day. even 
today u ask anyone to choose between rahman and himesh i can asssure 
99% will choose rahman. before himesh, nadeem shravan were d 
favrites among auto and taxi drivers. and u know that music channels 
promote himesh. one more thing himesh makes music videos not film 
music. shaadi se pehle and banaras had his music but flopped

Really well written Krishh 

True I cudn't have got myself to write such a long mail but I 
more than agree to each and every word that you have written sire.

Lets not be fanatics and madmen in expressing our respect and love 
for Rahman. I stated this elsewhere and I state it again.

Do u really think that awards and rankings and the music charts 
reflect or will ever capture the genius of this man? No ..they can't 
and they won't and do u think Rahman would approve this sort of 
fanaticism - I certainly don't believe so 

Enjoy his music folks and discuss that ...be happy and feel blessed 
to be around in the time of this man. When the man himself has stated 
time and again that he wishes that his music and music in general 
breaks all boundaries of hatred and tension in this world - why do we 
want to create that very thing that he despises ...

And again ..Krishh, a good mail hope others see it the way I did 
too ...
