No, no, not exacty half-heardted. The song is indeed good. Only that ARR seems to have consciously left out his stamp from this song. And "ARR signature is missing" will be noticed by fans like you. Actually, I eventually saw JTJYN today. Irrespective of all halla gulla about Pappu, as an ARR fan, I couldn't prevent myself from noticing that this song is not ARR-stamped. It was an ordinary type of song dozens of which are doing round composed by several MDs. No copy, all different. And several good in their own accord, but still, the bottom line is that they are not at ARR's level. And Pappu is not at ARR's level. The screen didn't come alive when this song started like the screen had come alive when muqqala used to start. The cinema hall didn't become a discotheque like it did as Hello Doctor progressed. Still, people liked it and tapped their feet with it and hummed it. That is great satisfaction. -- I thought it over and found that the issue has not at all been discussed in this group. So I decided to create this thread to make the point reach home that - "ARR's signature are missing" has been noticed. - Lack of signatures got new fans for ARR. You might not realize but there are people who just don't listen to ARR's song for some reason. They couldn't identify that this song is ARR's, so listened to it and started liking it, and when they came to know that it is ARR's, it was too late to back out. ARR can now continue leaving out his signatures from some songs. :-) as an effective marketing strategy. > Like you I adore arr for his very diff style in presenting a simple > song.

Oh God. It is first time I came to know thru you that this song could be a dig on Salman. Hmm. I should have guessed that. Nice catch. > > I havent hear the Hawa song, atleast I doesnt have a recall value. Why? don't you have Ada? or this song? not available in your area? If you want that, I would send you that. Drop me a direct mail. It is a gem nonetheless. a pleasure to listen to. > Probably there are still lots of members in this group yearning for > the vintage ARR.

All these Aamir and all others are self-absorbed Narcissus and they wouldn't care for ARR or anybody when it really matters. Even Mani dropped Thayya Thayya. Even Aamir chopped songs and deleted songs in JTJYN itself. It all depends on what suits themselves at a particular time. btw, did anybody notice that new launches of starsons and stardaughters have mostly gone to Anu Malik. But still, Aamir took ARR for this launch of Imran and ARR lived up to that also. That is a good step. I foresee more new launches having ARR's music nowonwards. > > we will wait.. -- V
