Rahman? I call him guru: Ismail Darbar - Page 2

Darbar believes his work on Kisna was, in fact, better than Rahman's. "My work has always been better than Rahman's. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was better than Taal, and Devdas was better than Saathiya," he says. People have told me my work was better than Rahman's in Kisna. No one has told me otherwise. It could be because I have made eight songs while Rahman has created only two. But my work has always been better than his. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was better than Taal. Even Devdas was better than Saathiya. But it is destiny that he got international fame. Angrezo ne uska haath pakad liya hai toh logo ko lagta hai ke yeh kuch zyada hi hai (Foreigners encouraged him so people think he is very good). I am not saying this because of jealousy. This is the bitter truth. More on rediff.com! Laughter, fireworks greet Indian Idol victory!

Kyunki hamare yahan bahut kum akal ke log hai (we have very few intelligent people here). We see some foreigners holding someone's hand, and he becomes a big man.

I remember reading this article and being shocked by how ridiculous Ismail Darbar's statements were. In my opinion HDDCS and Devdas soundtracks are NOTHING compared to Taal and Saathiya. And furthermore, the best song (probably according to most people) from Kisna, was "Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahaan" which was ofcourse by Rahman. Well, I'm glad to know that Mr. Darbar is finally appreciating Rahman's talent (Rahman is a legend afterall!), but I still have my doubt as to whether his statements are genuine.
