All these are funny... just to look for some mistakes in Rahman's music... where was is so called critic after the music release of "Asoka" in hindi??
If the critic is telling Naushad ji took care of instruments played in "Mughl-e-Azam'...why the critic is neglecting Vocal part... it is very clear that vocals of any singers was not like the way they sung at that time for a movie at Akbar's era. We can see the vocal of earlier movies (KL Saygal) was so different from movies of 70s. So in Akbar's era the vocals would be way different. Then why "Pyar kia to darna kya" is being sung with 70's style of singing???? Its not to blame Naushad ji... it is the critics who unnessessarily pointing fingers to Rahman!!
