I think the thin line between free expression of speech and plain sleazy abuse has been crossed once too many times lately. I fail to understand what this brouhaha about 'Tamil fans' is about. I don't even know what this species "Tamil fans" is. But I know what characteristics a species called Tamil filmmakers have. The deceit and backhanded methods that they resort to. I am sure it will warm the hearts of the 'Tamil fans" here to know that ARR was pencilled into this project without his knowledge or consent and then emotionally blackmailed into doing it. He had the choice of kicking up a fuss, saying No and walking away. He did not. Instead, he chose the path of dignity. The same 'Tamil dignity' that some of you will lay claim to. And what does he get for this? Abusive and derogatory remarks. There are no Tamil fans, Hindi fans or Swahili fans on this forum. We truly believe in the universality of music. If any of you wish to form regional cliques to cater to your parochial urges, I am afraid your GPS brought you to the wrong place. And no matter, where you go, you have the choice of what music you want to listen to and what musician you support. You can say goodbye to A.R.Rahman and his music if you don't like either. I strongly encourage you to exercise that choice. I hope, abusing someone for one's one inadequacy in appreciating the scale of achievement of this man, is not the trait of a "Tamil fan". Most of us here would not have loved ARR's music any lesser, had he been born in Timbuctoo or had we been born in Wollongong. And we would like to keep it that way. Thank you.

If raguman peeps into grup let him know hw he deceivd tamil fans without th best music by heart recent yrs. tamil fans r not 4 avrage & ok notes. v ve heard meenaxi. njoyd it full. good. its enuf up2 there. not again in sk is wat fans stand. vic --- On Sun, 6/22/08, naztitude <nazeef.mohammed@ gmail.com> wrote: From: naztitude <nazeef.mohammed@ gmail.com> Subject: [arr] Re: Sakkarakatti Track listing To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Date: Sunday, June 22, 2008, 3:54 PM Expecting grt music from the man is not wrong!! Expecting him to kindly answer your questions is wrong!! Well, Im answering this the way I want to not really caring who gets hurt and who does not! This is getting beyond tolerance..consider ing ARR peeps in here once in a while, this is not going anywhere close to good! Firstly, Allow him to do what he feels right and then lets decide on what should have been done otherwise..let' s trust him enough to give him his creative freedom-has he ever disappointed anyone one of us from Roja?? Till ADA? He has NOT!! Then, lets leave it to him to come back to us with the best.. Secondly, he will re use a tune if he feels he can do justice to it..not make it sound repetitive and also satisfy the criteria of the movie..if all this is true..then why debate?! Thirdly, Meenaxi was a grt album but did not hit the top due to other reasons. This meant a loss to the people who did not hear the tracks..my family has not heard meenaxi infact..now this gives them a chance to hear the forgotten tracks through this movie, hopefully.. Like Vithur said, to many many Tamilians this will be a new and fresh experience (actually, to those who've heard em also!) so they get to enjoy this so much..they will be really looking forward to the album and will recieve it with so much joy.. Fourthly, arrahmanfans. com is turning out to be a selfish group (A few members, I'll say and im sorry!) If ARR is re using a tune, so what?! Does it only have to be to benefit us?! Like he said in the interview on Good times, the director could have demanded it!? Does it always have to be you and me!? Lastly, if ARR feels happy abt something, we better join him..when we say we love him..we better love him... We accuse him of copying..and now abuse him for re using his own tunes..an honest suggestion.. start a new site arrahmancritics. com and continue there.. If you really want healthy convo's here ill give you topics.. >From Roja to ADA...From Roja to Sivaji..From the Malaysia concert to the TOI concert in Chennai..From Allwyn trendy wathces to Worldspace.. From Rashid Ali to Benny..From the piano to the continuum and what not?!?!?!?!! ?
