rediff has really worked hard to find a person who doesnt like Cheeni kum songs & write a review...not a single message out of 80 said the music is bad...rediff has to definitely give proper response for this...am eargly waiting...
Sonia, your review apparently shows that your mental database of IR music is hovering quite close to the number ZERO. And a general comparison with the numbers of music directors like Pritam and other Himesh Reshammiya crap, shows the obvious freshness and originality and How wonderfully the music has suited and has been adapted to theme of the movie.... so ReDiff : Kindly Re Define your music review section!!! Ananth Eyunni
Rediff pls sack Sonia Chopra and hire someone who knows about music, atleast someone who have listened to music ( I wont even say good music).
We hope rediff has got a clear message from all the comments below, Rediff please review the album again with someone who knows abt Music. Otherwise this article is gonna be the longest running thread in the history of internet....
it is reallt weird that rediff is resorting to such cheap tactics for publicity!
having read the review and the comments from the readers, I actually went ahead and listened to the album! with an open mind - surprise, surprise, it is completely different from any other stuff i have listened to, so far in Bollywood!
curious to know further, I dug up some info on the composer to learn more - and I was taken aback at the kind of adulation this guy commands not just from people/mass, but from great artistes like classical singers/ musicians/even western classical music conductors like John Scott! surely there must be something about his music, that is beyond north-south distinctions!
I went ahead and read some of this guy's interviews: on one hand, he is very cryptic in his answers, on the other hand, his passion and knowledge of music seem to be pretty deep - he is from the south, but knows indepth about every other composer and their composing styles in India past and present!
i happened to listen to some of his tracks in his website www.raaja.com - and voila! it is mind-blowing - perhaps, had I been born and brought up in the south, I would be as passionate as most of those who have posted in this discussion, but guys, surely someone who composes "surmai" (SADMA) must be something special.
whatever be the case, in the world of money-making media manipulation, Rediff has ensured that it continues to get a substantial no of hits to its website everyday - so maybe this review was deliberate to provoke these kinds of responses from readers! we may never know
go ahead and enjoy Cheeni Kum - am looking forward to the movie and the music in the movie!

thats great to hear Kari..ofcourse, Raja is one of the most gifted and talented music creater ever born in this world with due respect to all other composers..i am not telling this from a south indian mentality..thats for sure
Thanks Rediff for allowing people to respond to your bull shit reviews !
Thanks Sonia dear, until today I really did not know that there are numerous people waiting to jump in for the cause of true music and the great "Maestro Ilaiyaraja - The Prince" !
Please maintain some level of Jsutification in what u write and sply when commenting abt Maestro, I request Rediff ppl to allow only persons with atleast some music sense to write such reviews.
