Naushad had released Tajmahal a few months back (Do people know that Naushad is 85, and composing), and he had given modern tunes in that album. That is not a copy of MEA. That has latest technology. > that doesnt mean they are > disappointing! Precisely the case with ARR's work (but the reason for > mass market's displeasure wuld be different). > > Exactly my point! Then why complain that ARR songs are disappointing > because they lack periodness?? "period"-ness is what will earn respect for ARR. This discussion started with arr saying no to further period-movies. I was trying to look into what, if anything, went wrong with his earlier "period" music. If something comes out and ARR gets an insight, he will continue doing further "period" and fans are in for treats after treats. I feel 1947earth to be the best album of ARR. How sad it will be if ARR decided not to create such albums in future. > It is plainly what ppl see on the > surface that decides the fate of ARR numbers.

When ARR's work will be liked by majority, these critics will be forced to write good things. It is all in a loop. > Taal flopped in south. Taal was declared as a one-cassette-per-minute sold album.

Chor Chor was just a dubbed album, and its film was never dubbed/ released. The audio company tried to encash on ARR magic. Thus, the album didn't become a hit in hindi without the accompanying visuals and publicity that a film generates. Why talk just about chor chor which was still a good album and is known to people? There was one muthu maharaja in hindi, which never reached Indore, and it is a big city. Those were marketing mismanagements. > If he releases most albums like > Taal, surely would be a huge market that would demand a change! Rest asuured ARR will never release a repeat album.

Let us analyze and learn from that "one style" of these indian mds, and give feedback to ARR to use the strategies of these MDs. Anu Malik's Asoka got condemned because its music did not ahve the period feel. Ghai deserted NS after Pardes to team up with our man. Ghai deserted our man and got the kick of his lifetime at his lower back in the flop of yaadein. So much that he felt forced to desert AM to team up with our man. NS' no film after Raaz had found any taker. He had hyped Dil Ka Rishta as his best music and nobody heard it. AM's award winning Main Hoon Na made almost everybody raise eyebrows that such stupid can fetch award. His murder got hit on a stolen song. His Waqt made people rush to toilets when his songs appeared on screen (he had made a personal appearance in waqt) So much for the mighties. These are spent forces. The music field is without any rival, and is waiting for ARR to come and rule. Will he? ---------- I think most of the members of this group feel intimidated by AM, NS ...
