I said "I think JA music is an absolute failure on part of ARR. ARR didn't at all get the feel of the period movie. It seems ARR had absolutely no idea the large - big - huge - grand - great - showman style in which AG was making the movie." So, this failure is not in the sense of it not being a good music or it not becoming popular. It is failure to gel with the movie. > Now, you're backstepping. If the music and film went in completely different > directions as you clain, wouldn't be the movie have been a complete > flop and ARR getting flogged left and right? Hmmmmmm......... No. There are many people in India and world who love Anu Malik's and Himesh Reshammiya's music, there are many people who love SRK's films and make even a less-that-mediocre OSO a super duper bumper smash hit whereas they should have seen the original Karz that would have given them much more pleasure as a movie as well as in music. So, the film and music not gelling didn't prevent the movie from becoming a hit - piggybacking on such viewers and listeners. You love to seek verification in box office and discs-sale figures. Don't do this. ARR's music and films do not have good figures on these counts, compared with his contemporaries. -- V
