Hey, Yes I guess ur right..I cannot comment on how Rahman wanted his songs to be...However I sumhow didnt connect with his experimentation in Yaar Nila Tha....i guess Rahman is most effective when he sticks to his vintage style...soulful, rich music ... I think composing club songs and fast paced numbers is not really his strength.....(of course there rae some exceptions...like fanaa, songs from thakshak etc)...
