i remember reading an interview some ten months back..... rahman was doing quite a few films then. the concluding question for that interview was "the album to look for?" and he said rang de basanti. Now, i dont expect anybody to deny that RDB is the biggest blockbuster of the year. that's rahman for me. he knows which movie is worth giving his efforts for. putting his full efforts, he beats anybody by miles.

tell me any one movie which in spite of having a great presentation, was bungled by rahman. but, i can definitely name you bad films that ran a few days just because of his music. films like ah aah, new, kangalal kaidhu sei, me 20 u 18, kadhal virus... don't deserve music any better than this. still, there were quite a few great songs in these movies. He didnt disappoint me in new, kangalal kaidhu sei, udhaya, paarthalae paravasam, ah aah. but, god father, SOK, parasuram... were pretty ordinary. am talking about only of films that got released after tenali. till then, he was just incomparable.


i dont mind him giving only three movies a year. but, i just can tolerate mediocrity from him which, gives others a chance to compare him with people lesser than ilayaraja's calibre. i wish he had just rejected these movies. i remember he was forced to do baba. cant help it.

coming to the point, considering the movies and the number of movies(rahman's) that are to be released in 2007, lajjo having postponed for six months, he has ample time and talent to pull the air out of others' balloons.
