Seriously, motion picture soundtracks should consist not only songs but scores as well. The problem is because of the underlying fact that in Indian music industry songs are used to promote the movie even before the movie is complete and thus there is no possibility of releasing scores with the songs. Music labels have nothing to do in this because it's the movie producers who own the rights of the score with the movie. I wonder why movie producers are not interested to invest time and money in releasing motion picture soundtrack after the movie release. Let's hope we get a solution soon. And if anybody knows, please let us know if AR holds any rights for the BGM's (at least for the recent films). If so, i think we can hope that there is a possibility of releasing it under his KM label. The only movie, as far as I know, that released the DVD with the background score was Taare Zameen Par. It was a wonderful step by Aamir Khan but never know the reason why it didn't carry forward.
