karthik, you are absolutely right. i will give you an incident to prove that a.r.rehman never copies someones music. in the south indian movie "NEW", actor and director s.j.suryah asked A.R.Rehman to remix the "Thottal Poo Malarum" song with same tune(its a slow classical song from old tamil movie). But rehman strongly denied to do that, even that guy compuled him a lot to do that. but finally rehmand refused. in stead of that, what rehman did for him to satisfy was, he took the lyrics alone from that song. and created the fresh tune for that lyrics and the main thing is, he presented that in melodious tune with fast music. that song become mega mega hit in tamil. its amazing. its possible only for rehman. the legend. one more thing, see, the drum beat may be same for 2-5 seconds because how can one present various variety sounds with single drum. but still rehman doing that. your cousin should appreciate him. it will happen unknowingly by a.r.rehman itself. even rahman will not hear anyother music directors music since he started his career in music. bcos he dont have time man. he have only his own time to create the magical music. thats y hes taking enough(more) time to create music album. if hes copying and doing then he will do 20-50 films per year. whole world knowz this, if your cousin doesnot know this, we will not bother. andrew llyod webber would not called him for bombay dreams if he felt rehman is a copier lord of the rings team would not called him if they felt rehman is a copier rehmans 3 songs will not get nominated for oscars if they felt rehman is a copier my feelings are uncontrolable by hearing the words like this about a.r.rehman. spike lee (director of "inside man" hollywood) and others only copying rehman music. rehman i love you, i love you forever, whoever whatever says about you i love you. you make us pride. i have a son, i am the happiest man in the world if my son will grow like you.
