Ajith, I totally agree with you. ARR's music in all the classics you mentioned has been thoroughly underrated. Its very painful when songs like "Sarfaroshi ki tamanna", "Mujhpe toofan", Rang hai", or "Yeh jo des hai tera" doesn't get the kind of acceptance that they truly deserve. I think one can safely attribute the reason to the films themselves not being exactly of the mainstream nature. Unfortunately the majority still dig "paisa-wasool" films. Just imagine where ARR's music would've reached if a Meenaxi or a Tehzeeb had become a major box office hit! Bose will definitely be a film of epic proportions, but I don't expect it to become a commercial super-success. Of course, that doesn't make me any less impatient for the release of Bose! I think, despite the negative review that was posted sometime back, I think it will be a brilliant film. For now I'm just drowning myself in the soundtrack of Bose....
