dude Chord.. Guru is power-packes with some mindblowing songs. Guru may not be ARRs best work but certainly is the best work in 2007 and hence he deserves the award without any question. as it was mentioned in the other mail, Guru swept all the awards in the music category.. so, y blame filmfare.. filmfare awards are recognized and as rahmaniacs, v have to feel proud that ARR is bagging it again. next year's filmfare will be for ARR without any questions.. hope u will not have any rumblings for that :)
