hi ICHORD,
i would say yes chaiya chaiya is A R RAHMAN greatest hit. the
popularity of that song is unparalled. its not even famous in INDIA but world
over.THE SONG HAD THE UNIVERSAL APPEAL and the most bombastic song till date .
it could not be A R RHMANS greatest composition bt as far as music arrangement
and overall appeal of the song it is still matchless. the music is my goodness
, A R RAHMAN seem to have full of ideas and MANI RATNAM gave him all the
liberty to deliver it . its once in a lifetime song.here in PAKISTAN i can
surely say A R RAHMAN became really famous through this very song .
regards,
taimur
