God Almighty!!! Seems like all the so called respected Indians have made up in their minds to hate Slumdog Millionaire or anything associated with it !!! Sourgrapes.
First Amitabh Bacchan goes on his pathetic rant without even watching the movie.
Then Mahesh Bhatt.....then the Biharis (who obviously have no problem with the Lalloos of their state but have enough guts to protests a decent movie).
Then the money hungry parents of the child artists.
Then this moron...Jagjit....what the hell has he done in life besides sing Ghazals. Sure he is good at it. But can he do anything else? No versatality! At least AR Rahman can compose all types of songs!!
I wonder if any other respected foreign director will ever even attempt to make a movie on India after this fiasco.
What a bunch of lousy sour grapes!!

It's really sad to hear such words from jagjith singhji.

The current Bollywood keep their head up only because of A.R rahman. Where was bollywood music from 85s to 96?? whats was the outcome in these period?? It was dead after the Era of greats like Noushad sir, R.D.Bji,Lakshmikant pyrilalji, Trio singers Rafi saheb-Kishore da-Lataji.

Jagjit singhji is a better singer on ghazal version of music.He's not a singer with par excellence. Is he versatile? he's succesful only because of his moody, pain ful voice.We likeed that always! Ghulah Ali, Mehdi Hasan, even our hariharan sir are better singer than him when it comes to the basic real music. It is to be noted that Ghazals are a small form of music.

There are many forms of music when internationally concerned. Where ever in nature you can find the music. The nature itself is music. Find or invent these and put in and synchronize in a way to ear able and hummable fashion can be regarded as the music. Rahman has achieved to deliver many forms of Music, Melody, Trendy, Hip hop, Sufi, Sufi Rock, Fast, Karnatic/Hindustani Raaga based songs, patriotic, western, opera kind of, very traditional folks, Very traditional rend links to small casts and small regions.etc. etc. ..he used a wide range of instruments in his albums, he must be a great listener he still add so many newly invented instruments to his….(his songs gives the examples for the above)

He made Indian Music to a readable or Understanding form to the International Listeners.

So please do not criticize such a maestro who made India proud.

all these bolly veterans are behaving like crooks, first amitabh then Mahesh bhatt and now jagjit singh..!!!
it seems like nothing but sour grapes, Rehman did what they couldn't do in their 40+ year career! They should be behaving much better than this, may be they should learn from young generation who are all supporting and excited for Rehman!

Yes Piya,
you said the fact. it s also to be noted that Rahman brought so many young singers from the each and every corner of Inida and given so many opportunities. he brought Skhwinder,Aslam khan, Kartik, Srinivas & Khailas kher in to cine music, Mohammed Aslam, Naresh Iyer, Mahalaxmi, Unni krishnan, Mano, Javed Ali, Rashid Ali, Minmini, Benny Dayal, Sayanora, etc............He has given the opportunities for every good singers.Lataji had sung for A.R.R even her old ages, Sonu nigam has delivered so many hits for his albums..Uditji had given so many hits, Many legends like Yesudas, SPB, Chitra, Hari haran were sung for him and given nice numbers at south. he used the singers at different levels. there were no partialities no politics n all. (Everybody knows how was the film music industry before)

shame on all those people trying to bring rahman down. For gods sake applaud him for the recognition he has garnered from the west, not that he needed it. Jealous people! this isnt the time to criticize, its time to sing in one tune. my blood is boiling, i wish i could say so much more to Jagjit Singh...p**sed me off

ok so jagjit singh expected ghazals in slumdog ...gr8 with due respect to him, i think rahman is simply a genius n he has tried tougher genres than ghazals... his music in roja ws nt typical bollywood style n his composition is much ahead of the stereotypical filmy music.. well rahman can challenge jagjit singh to create a track like "mere paas hai tu" from taal or any song that has as much a soul as lagaan's tracks

AR Rahman is god's own voice...the guy is beyond talented! He is god gifted and a genius.
Every one of Rahman's composition is an original work...the similarity to western music is not because he has lifted the tunes, but simply because he uses a lot of western percussion items for his music!
Though some of Rahman's music is repetitive, he is undoubtedly the most talented music composer our country has ever seen. There is no one even near to him by way of competition.
I guess the fact that Rahman seldom gives interviews and never, ever talks or comments on fellow artists is one of the reason why people criticize him in a blatant and unfair manner, knowing that he will never retort back!
Not that he has to...he has more than proven himself.
