well said AJ... even now if i listen to old works of SEL i dont feel like listening to them more than 5 times(max.)...coz i get bored with them...but if i listen to AR's old works.i can go on listening to his songs the whole night and STILL not get bored with them...thats the magic of AR!!
even now...if i listen to Bhoola Tujhe from Blue...i can listen to it all night...but if u ask me to listen to a song from london dreams...i can listen to it only 2-3 times... thats the power of Ar's music even now...its jus like it was when he entered the indian film industry...but the music of other MDs has changed a lot! I bet Raavana music will be chartbusters because Mni sir has an excellent ear for music and will pick the best music from the selections given to him by AR...AR-Mani combo always delivers hits! best of luck Raavan music team!! --- In [email protected], "Rivjot" <riv...@...> wrote: > > Very true.
