yes the sound still remains very very arr ... my uncle who recognises arr as the composer of bombay & gentleman still recognises that its rahman when a new song is played on tv ...
i would prefer to go back to my childhood days when i listen to arr of the 90s ... i dont want to remember the office days instead ... ;) if he delivers 90s kind of music, we would say hes repetitive .. else we would crave for the 90s music .. arr bashing is becoming fashionable these days ...
