What does that mean? Could someone elaborate on what assignment have the two worked together and what were there respective roles?

It was really unfair not to give him the > chance in Hindi too.. I totally agree with you on the above. When an MD has done a good work in a language, he should be given a chance in the other language versions of the movie. Harris has worked in Hindi also, and his music had a freshness, a different feel. I think he should have been given a chance in Hindi Ghajini also. However, the decision is in the hands of the Producer/ director of the film. They somehow decided to hire ARR for Hindi version. I am sure that it was their sole decision and it was not because of any approach made of lobbying done by ARR. The producer/ director must have their reasons for doing so. but ARR can't be held responsible for their decision. > It was too much pressure on Rahman to bring > something above the songs that Harris(He used to assist Rahman before) > did, ha, ha, ha. Pressure on ARR? A creative person's mind works wonders under pressure. ARR is the most creative among today's breed, if at all he felt under such a pressure, it would encourage him to give even better music. > and what more 'Guzarish' falls short of 'Sutrum Vizhi'.. I am not liking Guzarish much, but I still think what I have heard in HJ's hindi music, that doesn't make him better than ARR in any count. HJ is a promising kid and he should learn and experiment and improvise. > His > friendship with Aamir might have made Rahman commit Ghajini.. I also think so. Anything wrong in that? ARR is not a thankless person at all. Aamir has given great films to ARR and their combo did wonders till now. ARR is thankful to Aamir and he can't say no to him. What is wrong in that? > As a > wellwisher and diehard fan i would like to see Rahman on Top always.. What kind of a wellwisher and diehard fan you actually are when you find that ARR's song is not good enough as HJ's song? > with less pressure he would come back for sure He has never "gone" anywhere. He is still here, solidly, soundly. No question of his coming back. -- Rawat
