Anish, Just curious. How do you think specifically that song should have turned out? In what ways musically should have happened than what we're hearing? Don't you think if AR wasn't happy with the way the song turned out, he wouldn't have used it or done another song? Maybe AR was happy with the way the song turned out because it met the requirement for the scene in the movie, something which we don't yet know.
Even if a song is simple in terms of music, it can still be a good song. Not every song ARR creates has to be musically brilliant and complex. It's good that Rahman can be simple in his musical approach at times....adds to much to his versatility and scope as a composer. In fact, to me, the hallmark of a great composer is also the ability to show restraint, not just pour it on for every song or composition. If you don't like the song, that's fine with me. Lot of people don't like it, but a lot of people do like it too. But, to assume that the song didn't turn out the way Rahman wanted it is quite presumptuous in my opinion. I know you love ARR and his music, so would never question that. --- In [email protected], Anish Gupte <musimax2...@...> wrote: > > Hi Guys... > Hows it goin?? > > looks like my one sentence has generated some pretty exciting reactions!!! > [?].... > OK...so let me clarify what I implied... > > A.R.Rahman probably expected the song (Yaar Mila Tha) to turn out in a > certain way.
