Yes, Please spare ghajini. and yes, please don't make assumptions.we are here for a reason. the reason why we bacame the "FANS". we are not analyzing the music of a debutant Music director here.18 years is not short period or a shortime wonder! so , better assumption would always be " okay..this is not my type ..but there are a lot who like this". Or "This is my Type! but yea, there could be others who don't like it." otherwise what we are doing is doubting ourselves here! Regards Jamshid
