It is a general prevalent trend, practice, norm, habit, whatever it is called that English movies don't give a great importance to music. No way like music is a central part, the real hero/ heroine of our bollywood movies. Recall that they even dumped Heart will go on at the ending credits in Titanic. So, it is not the individual movie CR or its financier/ producer/ director who had done like this. It is likely to happen in most of the hollywood movies. > Makes me question > whether its worth for ARR to take hollywood projects with directors > who won't do justice to his music. Unfortunate.. There is no way ARR should stop doing hollywood or other foreign countries' languages' movies, me think. English movies rule the earth and bring big following and money, so it is ARR who has to adapt to their ground realities and needs to change his music to something that sounds good on hearing without needing any video or movie or visual or storyline, whatever. And I think that will be a new learning for ARR also, and, creative that he is, that will bring us an entire new type of music from him. And then ARR will rule the entire world like he has been ruling Hindi and Tamil music industry for 18 years. For this, I pray to God to be with ARR while he finds his way through this new untrodden territory. -- Rawat > --- In [email protected], "kaissiom" <kaiss...@...> wrote: > > >> So, I went to the local theatres at the earliest convenience to >> catch this flick. >> >> The movie: It's okay, I had a few good laughs, but nothing great. >> The content is for mature audience really.
