I agree with Ghai, Yuvvraaj was better than any other Rahman's album in 2008, music didnt become blockbuster or didnt get nominated solely because of Ghai.
What is Ghai saying though.. he'd have appreciated if composer had won instead of Best playback singer... Alka didnt win either :( It was Shreya ghoshal for 'Teri Ore'... I cant believe filmfare's choice for that. Alka deserved that award any day any time... --- In [email protected], Vithur <vith...@...> wrote: > > Rahman's Yuvvraj better than Jodhaa, says Ghai 3 Mar 2009, 0000 hrs IST, > CHARU AMAR > Print<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-4214108,prtpage-1.cms> > Email <javascript:openWindowmail('/mail/4214108.cms');> Discuss > Share<javascript:void(0)> > Save <javascript:showdivlayer('4214108','t','close');> > Comment<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bollywood/Rahmans-Yuvvraj-better-than-Jodhaa-says-Ghai-/articleshow/4214108.cms#write> > Text: > When Rahman sang `Jai Ho', the country got its new-age anthem... perhaps, > even Hollywood! > <javascript:openslideshownew('/slideshow/4214124.cms?imw=460','541')> > <javascript:openslideshownew('/slideshow/4214124.cms?imw=460','541')> > Subhash Ghai (TOI Photo)More > Pics<http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/articlelist/2048937.cms> > > > > However, the rousing anthem came from Bollywood's Subhash Ghai!
