Ajit, I totally agree. Its seems very difficult to figure out what the right elements for commercial success are, expecially for a style like ARR's. People appreciate his overall talents, but apart from a small group of fans like us, some of these albums never received the level of appreciation it should have.
I've concluded not to attach commercial success with the real quality of any of his soundtrack; rely entirely on our personal judgement. Despite a cynical attitude I'm predicting water to be very well appreciated by the masses - atleast by the same crowd that praised Bombay, laagan, earth, zubeidaa, etc. -S --- In [email protected], "Ajit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just revisited these two mindblowing soundtracks from Rahman, and > although I enjoy them immensely and can share this enjoyment with > likeminded Rahman fans, it's just sad that the powerful music from > these two soundtracks never reached commercial success or even critical > acclaim, let alone the movie release for Bose!!!!!!!!! > > From these two albums......the masterpieces......Yeh Rishta, Desh Ki > Mitti, Ghoomparani, Chinnama Chilakamma, Do Qadam, Noor Un Allah, Zikr, > Ekla Chalo, Rang He......wow wow wow! > > The music of Mangal Pandey and Swades received more recognition, and > Swades, rightly so, garnered the most success commercially, and is > still one of my fav recent albums from Rahman. > > But, the music of Meenaxi and Bose.....very special, very crafty, very > creative, a stroke of genius......and yet.....unrecognized...... > ------------------------ Yahoo!
