Perfect opportunity for India to say to the World WE HAVE ARRIVED...!!

]In a 30 minutes capsule discussing CWG's progress most of the discussion centred around ARR's theme song. Veteran musicians like Jagjeet, Kavita ji (over telephone) didn't disagree directly but said; song could have been better.

Vinod Dua the host said that because of overseas project of ARR for which he has to visit UK often he was unable to give sufficient time to theme song hence Rahman wala kaam nahi dikha.

Apparently ARR has charge Rs 5 crores for the theme song..!
It was also discussed that ARR always gets more marks than he deserves..!

The theme song did not strike as anything outstanding when I heard it first . It might grow on us later on. Lets see.
As for AR rehman, I liked a few of his songs, the ones with a catchy music or beat, but cant understand the hype around him.

Interesting and nice but yes it is not a heart stopper.
Perhaps I need to listen to a better sound system as I am on my notebook.

I stop it after a while couldn't finish it, it's nothing great to listen to and besides I don't think theme song of game event should be loud with heavy beats. Anyways eventually it might get on people's mind and all might like it as the games proceed.

But I am sad that Rahman asked for such a heft sum (Rs 5 crores) for an event which is being projected as national pride by Govt of India. Effect of Suresh Kalamadi syndrome?

Couldn't even listen to the whole song. It's mediocre at best and it's too loud for my taste.
I find most of his songs have a somewhat similar pattern.

As far as I know, he charges $ 1 mn for every song for which he composes the music. That way, he didn't quote something that was not expected.
The contention is, whether someone else would have done a better job for same or less amount of money. I feel yes, that's very much likely.
