For the same reason that tamil speaking people dont :)
Clearly, if they are really fascinated by the music, they would never
consider language as a barrier. Anyway, lyrics in any language have never
been able to do justice to music of ARR.
As disturbing as hindi speaking people not listening to good tamil stuff is
tamil speaking people listening to sub-standard hindi and sub-standard
tamil stuff of hindi quality.
90% of my tamil as well as non-tamil music loving friends still believe in
one or more of the following:
1) ARR is a genius but only in copying. He copies and mixes from diverse
sources in such a way that nobody comes to know. (How do 'they' know is a
question that never got answered).
2) Its not ARR but his computer that composes the music for him. (What
stops other MDs from acquiring such a machine?).
3) ARR is strong in harmony and mixing and no match with certain other MDs
in melody. (I have never been able to understand from where these people
picked up words like melody and harmony).
Coming more to the point, as a Hindi speaking north-indian, I consider not
understanding tamil a boon as that way I can concentrate 100% on and only
on the music without being distracted by the words or their meanings.
I gave up listening to hindi songs and most other forms of music (except
Tamil, Indian classical and certain folk) after May Madham 12 years back
and dont regret the decision. Also, I have a cute little personal
interpretation for most of ARRs music based only on music, which always got
muddied if I tried to understand the lyrics or even look at the videos of
the songs.
One incident:
When I was new to ARR, I once thought of understanding the contents of
lyrics after listening to a song containing traces of a raaga of monsoon
season. Song was Missa Missalade Missandam - Gangmaster (Telegu). I gave
the task to a telegu friend who, not being interested in the homework,
passed on the cassette to his mother. The project never got completed and
his mother was dismayed at the kind of company her son kept.
I guess the song probably contained some rotten vulgar lyrics. I dont know
and dont want to know.

Subject: Tamil songs
I just experience this with my friends but i dont knwo whether its
true with everybody out there so dont kill me for this argument...
As a Tamilan I listen to both Tamil and Hindi and any language
compositions by ARR or any other music director as long as the songs
appeal to me... I dont understand any other language excpet Tamil and
English but I still listen to other language songs especially Hindi.
But when I speak with my Hindi or North Indian friends they simply
dont care about tamil songs or any other songs from the
south....Whether its a genius like rehman or any other music director
they dont give much attention to tamil songs even if they are extremly
good...
But later if those songs are dubbed into hindi they really enjoy it
and claim it is an hindi song and they also mention it was a hindi
song that was dubbed into tamil... I am not racist or anything its
simply an observation rather than an acusation...
i just want to know why hindi speaking people dont give much attention
to good tamil songs...
Guys PLEASE DONT KILL ME FOR THIS....IAM NOT SAYING U GUYS ARE RACIST
OR ANYTHING ITS SIMPLY A THOUGHT!
