Hi,
I do not how many here have read the reviews on rediff.com on the music of Aryan, composed by Anand Raj Anand. (For those who havent read it, follow the link.. http://in.rediff.com/movies/2006/mar/29aryan.htm. The reviewer Komal Mehta in his/her comments on the song Rab ne from Aryan says that the song sounds similar to a A R Rahman song and in the next line goes on say that: The lyrics are nice and the music is soothing but it is indistinguishable from the various other love songs that come out every week. Isnt it the biggest insult to a man who has changed the equations of the Indian music industry?
Two paragraphs later, the writer reviews another song Teri te mein. Apparently the song has been sung by Anand Raj Anand himself. Now the writer he or she, whoever it is, goes on to praise the song and in the end mentions that the song reminded her of Rahmans vocals in RDB. Note that the writer has mentioned vocals.
After reading the article, I couldnt help but to listen to the songs, I was wondering if Anand Raj Anand has actually been able to the cult of status of our Boss. First I heard Rab ne, which the writer has said has a Rahmanish effect. People, you wont believe, the song is not a trash but doesnt even reach anywhere near what our Boss creates. The song sounds more like a Sandeep Chowtas work and the statement in the
article first saying it sounds like Rahman and then is indistinguishable, I feel is the most ridiculous statement ever written by a music reviewer.
Next I listened to the song Teri te mein, again a typical Sandeep Chowta style, very undertone, it can be on charts for sometime (on the basis that audiences like Himmesh Reshammiya) but what irritated me is the writer mentioning, it reminded him/her of Rahmans vocals in RDB. Again a baseless and preposterous statement. The song infact I felt is on the same lines as of the song DUS composed by Sandeep Chowta. How can he/she compare Rahmans vocals in Luka Chuppi or Khalbali or Roobaroo to a song which doesnt even sound great to listen repeatedly?
What I felt was the writer has been paid undertable to write such a pompous review and specially to mention ARR name.
I do not know if I am talking or thinking aloud but being a Rahman fan, I couldnt accept the lines on face value. I would like to know what you people think.
Thanks
Sreehari
