Yuvvraaj music is an absolute masterpiece. A complete soubdtrack with a vareity og genres ranging from Symphony orchestration to Disco to hindustani classical.
He has copied most of his Music style from African Folk music & He is not great. S D Burman, Shankar Jaikishan, Madan Mohan, Ravi, Kalyanji, Laxmikanth are really GREAT

criticism is the easiest job in democracy. Even RD Burman was accused of plagiarism a few times, in spite of the fact that each of his inspired songs carry a distinct stamp of his own. Each generation has its own sound. Only a few have produced such sound that have crossed generations, ARR is one of them. Be it "Water" or "Yuvraaj", he is versatile.
Rehman is the ultimate in Indian music. No others could match his calibre, popularity etc. Forget all those yesteryears M.Ds. like R.D,S.D,L.P,K.A etc. Rehman the no.1 all time. Even after 100 yrs. Rehman will be remembered But not the others. So Rehman is Rehman. No substitutes. Others will come & go. But Rehman will stay on & on. Already he has given numerous hits. Still more to come. So the ultimate is Indian music starts with Rehman and will end with Rehman.

No doubt Rehman is a good music director. But do not go overboard with your praises. There were excellent music directors in the past and more will come in future. Music will not end with any one, however great he may be. No one is indispensable.

arey yaar, Himesh is bacha infront of Rahman. Himesh doing music with repeated voice,copying of English songs,and more over his music worked when films are became hit. But rahman's is music done well when films like dilse are not done well. open the history once. Let us see how may National awards will get himesh in coming years. Where as rahman got it in his first release. in your language Roja rocks...all over india. isn't it? and he conitnues his bagging both national,state awards also. In hereos shahrukh&Kamal got the most of the awards,where as Rahman is the only music director who got most no of awards both state and national. check it out

the day is not far when himesh will stop singing and sit for a while resting in his room, just to believe that there is more to music then just following readymade beats...

i agree with u friend,In which film himesh did background music on his own? If he heard the BGM Of Every shankar & Mani's film he'll get piss off
ARR is no doubt a wonderful music director to cherish, but not all songs. His class was in 90's back to Roja and bombay times. Viswavidata was one of the masterpiece. However, I am a big fan of the one and only legend, Maestro Illayaraja.
The only director who composes music with original orchestra. it requires lot of skills to extract the music from musicians.
ARR renovated the music according to the trend of youth. But Illayaraja, symphony specialists as compared to modern day beethoven.

Illayaraja has not gone beyond South But Rahman has proved in south, North and International level that he has acheived more than illayaraja. Even Illayaraja will accept that rahman is the best.

by vimalan sadhasivam on Oct 20, 2008 07:37 PM
haha...he will never accept ARR who is just a sound engineer as the best coz ARR is not the best. ARR can't even touch Ilaiyaraja sir's feets..let alone match him

So do you think Illayaraja's songs are great...u dud head dont even accept that IR never gave credit to his artists instead took all to himself. I wonder why IR is letting his son Yuvan to follow the tracks of AR, isn't that a secret admiration.. AR isn't the sound engr instead works well with sound engrs and also knows the technique in engineering unlike IR who just writes and lets it to arrangers and take all accolades. SELFISH.
