ARR's recent sales figures with his soundtracks can be debated repeatedly about how significant, etc. One thing is for sure, however, sales figures don't talk about his originality and his ability to quiety set trends, plant new seeds of ideas and styles, and slowly but surely keep himself distinct and special as an MD. His name associated with international projects garner him the status and prestige he deserves, while in India, how somehow manages to be seen as the best, regardless of sales.
I am convinced that ARR is in no danger of burnout nor his name nor his music becoming a frenzied fashion that usually is very short lived. Do I feel that there is room for him to connect with the masses more? Yes, most definitely. However, I think we will all discover that his soundtracks like Water, Bose, Swades, Meenaxi, RDB, regardless of sales numbers, will retain a very long life in the hearts of many of us and in the hearts of many to come. That is the beauty of it. Yes, it will help for his music to be more immediately recognized and to achieve a certain level of popularity, but I guarantee you that the appeal that his most scintiillating soundtracks offer will be imbued with longevity and nostalgia. I am confident that music lovers in the future will regard these and many other soundtracks of his to be among the finest ever in Hindi cinema.
