This question pops up when I feel sad on hearing something against some of the great legends of our time...
Today morning to pep up my Saturday & drive away the blues (yeah, its a working day, unfortunately!!), I was playing the latest flicks of the legendary AR.Rahmann.
By default it is 'Guru' on my HT and started exercising, only to pause immediately!
After 4-5 times of listening to the album, I'd started liking it! Rahman has always been criticised that his audience needs patience and that his albums start selling after an initial lull. That was till he became a brand of his own! Now, the CDs get sold easily and that the lull is shifted to the consumer - He/She gets to enjoii the music later!
This is true for 90% of his movies ! In the past, i used to brush away this comment saying that he expects more from an immature audience and that it takes time for an average guy to rise up to the level of the album music. Is this still correct?
The next allegation is that his songs are lifted or taken or "inspired" from something heard somewhere - be it his own music or others!!Letz checkout the latest Guru which boasts of 7 songs.
Barso Re - Sing 'na na na re na re' : just add 'oh hum dum suniyo re' and it becomes his own 'Saatiya' song ! Full credits to Shreya Ghoshal for the captivating rendering of the song.
Ay Hairathe:
Jugal Hansraj in 'Ghar se nikhalte hi' song comes in front of me when I hear this song!
The popular Nusrat's song is remoulded : When i turned the cover of the CD, I realised that this song was a tribute to Nusrat! Ways of respecting someone & still filling one's pocket!!
The counter Q is : Are we expecting too much from fellow-humans?
