JA was a stupid movie??? Hmm.... AG-ARR is easily one of the best combos..If i were to select my top 10 fav albums of all times of rahman's..without any second thoughts..Laagan,Swades and JA would easily come into my list.. AG took aamir,shahrukh and hrithik because they sell...I hope you did see those movies.. Aamir..was made to do a role of a villager in laagan...at a time when he had 3 consecutive flops with mela, mann , 1947 earth... Shahrukh..The king khan..the superstar was made to do a role like Mohan bhargava in swades... Hrithik..The most handsome,sexiest and youth icon was asked to do a role of akbar... AG without doubt is one of the best directors in our industry and Rahman hasn't gifted anything to AG...Its AG who has extracted some amazing songs from ARR..Let it be any song from Laagan or Swades or JA....Each and everysong is a master piece... This combo is here to stay...and give us more memorable albums in future..It rocks and rocks big time...

AG is the best and gets the best out of ARR. And why should I be disappointed? Gomzy is behaving oddly with me lately, giving odd type of answers bordering on pinching, offending, insulting, ridiculing, degrading. I am not liking it all. Behave yourself and stop it. -- And I still think that AG is nowhere near best. He is very mediocre. AG takes Aamir, Shahrukh, Hritik because they sell. Similarly, AG takes ARR because ARR sells. That is why a stupid film like JA has become such a hit. Match that with Guru. Mani took all failed persons, Abhishek is making record in giving flops, Aish is not really number 1. Mithud holds guiness record in flops, Vidya had 3-4 films I guess and is one of many wannabes, Madhvan is probably hit in south india but is unknown in hindi films. Yet, Guru became hit on its own strength. Now, that is a diretor's contribution. -- ARR is an emotional person so he has started liking AG - may be for AG's interest in music or AG's respect and love for ARR, so ARR creates good things for him. It doesn't have anything to do with AG's musical ability to extract good things from ARR, I think. ARR is gifting away good things to AG. Ability to extract good things from ARR is in Subhash Ghai who extracted great music of Taal from ARR. -- So, if you like ARR+AG songs that is your privilege to like them. I can't say anything on that. None of ARR-AG songs is my fav really, though I had always blamed it on Javed Akhtar's mechanical, assembly line manufactured lyrics that are without any touching emotion, but are just logic. I still think that AG doesn't deserve ARR. AG is more to the level of SEL and the likes. -- V
