[arr] Re: Vishal-Shekhar thrilled by AR’s appreciation

[Jahanzeb Farooq]

ARR praised VS's work??? and put them in same league as MJ?? this is 
unbelievable. source anyone? 
no doubt VS have been doing some quality work early in their career but there 
last many albums were totally crap barring a few. i found Dostana, Cash, 
Golmaal, De taali, Bhootnath etc etc total crap. in fact i didn't even like 
Bachan ae haseeno.
