Jai Ho...

Well could not resist voicing my opinion on this Master Singer Jagjit Singh and his recent verbal attack on Ar Rahman If any one of u are yet to see this ,just check this link out..


http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/4045257.cms

The link above show one envious,jealous old man venting his fury at A.R Rahman for not composing Ghazals in "Rang De basanti" ,Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na" and like,and put the audience into sleep very much like this man would have done given the chance and a dumb producer.There is a complex very much malayalee namely "Perunthachan complex",but then this was cos Peruntachan was a master sculptor himself and couldn't stand his son achieving more fame and recognition.In this case it would be wrong to use that as Jagjit Singh for his part has nothing in mainstream Bollywood,nor the magic of say Ar rahman.ARR for his part has numerous works that has transcended all the linguistic divisions of the country and above all a "MAA TUJHE SALAM" that virtually is a modern day "Jana Gana Mana".

At a time when most of the nation is/should be extremely proud of the Three Oscar Nominations ,in come this old man who has sung a lot of successful ghazals ,and challenges ARR,refusing to admit the real genius that he is .I admit AR is no GOD and not beyond Criticism.But then there is a fine line between Criticism and Abuse.When Mahesh Bhatt says tht "Jai Ho" is not ARR's best ,that is criticism.What this guy does in this video is blatantly abuse and challenge AR..Anyway hope ARR doesn't heed any attention to all these jealous minds and continue giving us great music as he has been doing all the while.(And yeah it wld be an offense not to mention the Soundtrack of Dilli6 ,which is a "RDB" in the making.Masakali and the title track is just awesome.)

Yet another classic comedy from priyadarsan.Guess they denied him the right to remake it to hindi or malayalam(Guess a "Dharavi Kutta ban gaya Crorepati" OR CHERI-PATTI KODEESWARAN (with Mohanlal as Jamal ) was already on his mind :)

Note:My music knowledge might not be extensive nor am i an expert on Ragaas.But to like ARR and his music i doubt u need to be one.
