I agree about Swades. I had excluded it from the list by putting that in bracket. Bose's songs are another case because the film had butchered them like never before. In fact, anybody who had bothered to see the movie came out with a feeling that if more of the songs had been there in the movie, it would have become a tolerable movie. > I had merely meant to bring out the fact, that I felt > that there was an experiment of a new sounds and > styles, which I reckon was more in MP and Ah Ahh, > rather than the previous soundtracks. It is not my > intention to condemn the people who have given their > views to MP. I was not mentioning about your condemning of other members. But the general view in this list was that the members who felt disappointed with MP music were: 1. given elaborate lessons on how to listen to arr's music. 2. were given assurance that the songs will grow on them. 3. were promised that once they see the picturisations of the songs, they will start loving it. 4. were told that it is their loss. 5. were told to get lot. Well, it has been one month since the release of music and picturisation has also been seen. It is true that 1 to 4 did not happen. Hope other members will themselves take some lessons from this and shall stop badmouthing members who give negative comments about ARR's future releases. > > I think the expectations are different.

Although that > was my first initial reaction to it on hearing both > the two releases. the problem is: With these new experimentations of ARR, he is facing the resistance even from his own fans who are attuned to his ealier sounds. Maybe, a few words from ARR would have helped fans. If ARR speaks or writes about what is his plan or strategy about these new sounds, the fans would be able to see things in a wider perspective and will sure "try to get used to the sounds" the way you are doing. > I think at the end of the day, both of us have one > thing in common and that would be our undying support > for ARR. Thank you so much for your reply. : ) count on me. However, I am extremely worried, how the current flood of negative comments might be affecting ARR who is a very sentimental and soft person. I pray to almightly to give him courage to overcome this phase. I also feel that the sudden changes might be a result of ARR's involvement in British, Chinese, American projects. I wish he knew where to draw the line. All those praises about BD WOHE LOTR will become a joke if he becomes a flop and unpopular MD in the home turf. Everything said, the undeniable truth is that "ARR HAS BOUNDLESS TALENT". He will be able to come up. -- Rawat ------------------------ Yahoo!
