Rahman may be a good composer of music, but he has failed the CWG badly. He is neither a singer nor a lyricist, so why were these two jobs also entrusted to him? And he should have contributed the score free of cost. Charging 5 crore of tax payers' money for this junk is a crime. His Hindi is atrocious.

When he was asked the meaning of Jai Ho while receiving Oscars, he was at the receiving end.
A.R.Rahman is a highly overrated music director. Don't understand why media hypes him so much. He is just and average music director giving average songs. Look how he has spoilt the mood of already spoilt CWG games by giving third grade music despite taking Rs 5 Crs from Govt for singing in CWG.

FYI - ARR didnt charge a single paisa for himself. The 5 crores was only for the singers and the band.

Rahman's music was cute for a while...no longer. The Oscar award that was given was a fluke...Gulzar who wrote the song, Sukhwinder who brilliantly sung it and Pokuttly who did a great job in mixing it deserved way more credit than Rahman. Have you heard his Common Wealth Song? Pritam is twice as good as our little man from Chennai.

The most common law of nature..once you are on the top of the hill..the only way you can go further is downwards..ARR was on the top of the hill long back..and if he moves any further..that naturally is going to be downwards..

wat a pathetic to write all these nonsense? can u tell any other song that sukhwinder made it wonder. see its only bcos of music and then how the singer deliver it make the sond wonder.
By-Mukesh Rehman is highly over rated music director, He eats up lyrics and his music lacks melody. Yet he is regarded best music director. Even Pritam is far better than him. Look at the songs he has composed in last 3-4 years most of them are hit. Yet he has not been given any award.

The whole music of Taal Movie was composed and most of the songs were sung by Sukhvinder Singh. But Sukhvinder got always sidelined and Rahman was always given the credit that belonged to other people.
Even in Jai Ho, written by Gulzar, music by Pussycat Dolls and sung by Sukhvinder, its Rahman who shamelessly received the Oscar. Sukhvinder was sidelined again.

Sukhvinder exists today becuase AR RAHMAN gave him break else he would be singing on streets on Punjab there are lakhs like him there
Re: Re: Re: Rehman
by S Shrikanth on Sep 02, 2010 09:16 PM
That does not mean you discredit his talent and contribution.
Even Rahman was a street boy and someone might have given him the break, but did not suppress him. Otherwise he too would have been in third class of southern movies.

ms neha u cannot hide real talent. ARRehamn was gr8 not doubt but sukhwinder singh is a talent too. So given break by rehman or no rehman he wud have shined.

Its really surprising how such disastrous, loud, cacophony of electronic instruments and rare vocals at the highest scale with atrocious lyrics can be called music! Of course in India, you can claim anything if you have the right blessings, like Kalmadi a good administrator (I am sure he will have a memorial dedicated to him someday), our crown prince the best PM (never held any office so far), pro-people politicians, etc etc.

wow.. your knowledge of music is tremendous.. now I understand the reason behind your stupid comments..
Now rahman wants to keep his best music for foreign films so that he can get a Oscar and give the second grade music to Indian Films. Rehman pls dont do this because only Indians have given u so much Fame and respect . The theme song of CWG is also not good .

Actually the songs are great! There is a strange thing that happens with every Rahman music.
When you listen it for the first time, you feel its very average, but when you keep listening atleast 5 times, you start feeling the music is great. The music grows on you or you develop a taste for it.
It’s like drinking beer. First time you feel what a horrible drink, how come all the people in the world drink this. But after drinking it for 5 times atleast, you feel it’s the greatest drink.
Besides, Rahman is a versatile composer. He has sucessfully composed Bhangra, Sufi, Qawali, Hindustani, Tamil folk, Carnatic, Western, hip hop, melody, melancholy etc and well appreciated by that segment of the people.
So what if you don’t like the music? It is simply not meant for you, there is always a segment of people who are dying to hear his music. If it’s not for you this time, then you are not lucky!

True, its not just with Rehman's music. If you keep listening to the music you'll start liking it. And when you see the movie and start connecting it to the movie, youll like even more.

rehman has become like cheap beer.. not interested.. i wanted music thats soothing n enjoyable right away.. like good quality wine

by balasubramanian ramaswamy on Sep 02, 2010 08:30 PM
Songs are bad.ARR not up to mark. His earlier film VTV is not also up to mark.Harris Jeyaraj and Yuvan are better. Robot will be an average film only.
Re: Re: Endhiran Tamil lyrics is mind blowing ...
by Naarayan on Sep 02, 2010 11:13 PM
why are you talking abt the movie now? talk only abt the music..nobody thought subramaniapuram would be a runaway hit when they heard the music..it was a super hit..pls do not unnecessarily open your hole..
Ya that's true i agree with this critic because I personally heard the songs in Hindi which were funny because of bad lyrics. No North Indians will like this movie that's for sure.
But for all North Indian's who didn't like the songs in Hindi listen to the songs in Tamil you will definitely like it for sure.
Re: My kind recomendation is songs in Tamil are very good
by JT on Sep 02, 2010 08:25 PM
Why would I listen to Tamil songs? There is a reason that the move is being dubbed in Hindi. Not everybody understans Tamil. Get Real Dude,
Re: Re: My kind recomendation is songs in Tamil are very good
by Naarayan on Sep 02, 2010 11:14 PM
then dont listen to it.. who is asking you to? it is becos you guys are used to junk music from anu malik and bappi lahiri..that you cannot appreciate good music..you get real man..
Re: Shankar should have hired good lyricist
by Andy on Sep 02, 2010 07:26 PM
I agree with the critic because the songs in Hindi are funny which is usual for all dubbed films .
So instead listen to Endhiran songs only not Robot

I think the real reason they are not really looking at North Indian market and have made an also-ran marketing effort.
