hello guys
Just to clarify a few things.I dont know why this comparison is been done in the first place.Agreed that Naushad and Rahman rendered music for periodic films.But thats where the similarity ends.There are two types of periodic
films.One that involves freedom struggle(to which category Rahman falls) and the other is the eternal love stories (Naushad ).
Now Rawat to say that Mangal Pandey did not sound periodic ,would be really wrong.Can you imagine the 'mangala mangala song sung by a college kid running around ?
Lagaan had the britishers involved,hence there is western fusion.I dont think "O rey chori" can fit todays movies with a couple running around trees? and the same applies to the other songs as well.
Agreed he is different.Well wasnt he different when he started composing Roja? He set out a trend .Thats what he is doing for periodic movies.His own Trend.
Rahman has never been given the chance to compose for a periodic romantic saga.So lets give him a chance to prove that he is not bad when it comes to depicting an eternal love story.The story of Akbar Jodha Bai.Thanks
for reading.Take Care
