Just an personal example that I am citing in here to prove my point. I feel A.R.Rahman & Sachin Tendulkar, eventhough being in different professions have a lot in common, both began to perform at an young age, world-class artists, crowd pullers, talented, & the list goes on. But the one point that separates the two is a relative but small difference in the level of consistency. As die-hard fans, we have great respect for them and expect an amazing level of consistency from the deadly duo.

Yes, both are highly consistent but when it comes to choosing between the two, Sachin peaks ahead. Have we seen Sachin underperforming for 3 straight years, like what Rahman has been having now??? Yes Sachin did have 1 or 2 bad years, but never did an year go by when Sachin had not scored a ton, however disappointing the year may have been. Rahman has been delivering mediocre and dull music continuously for the past 3 years.


SLUMDOG may be his only saving grace but I feel that he never deserved the OSCAR for that movie. I presume HOLLYWOOD never made an attempt to listen to any of Rahman's
melodious works prior to that.The WEST & the OSCAR community only felt that it was high time to honour a talent from INDIA as a feel good gesture as INDIA WAS SHINING When the REST OF THE WORLD was reeling in a GLOBAL Economic Crisis.

OK, I dunno how you are comparing the 2. Agreed that they are legends, but each in tbeir own fields. The key attribute here is singing/composing, and having an unfair comparison doesn't help at all.AR rehman has been in the industry for a longer time than Sachin has in the sports industry. And lately Sachin hasn't exsctly been doing wonders, he is quite entertaining and practical in his shot making, better than people of his age. But people applaud him for the one big knock he plays in a series. Like in the recent Test series against Lanka, it is his score of 202 or whatever, that kept his average from going down, because otherthan that innings, his performance has been quite average. Nonetheless, he is a talented and star player because of his contributions at that age and his records that he's broken, but that's it. AR Rehman on the other hand, of late, has been creating mind-blowing music. Just look at his compostions in Raavan of late. Other than that, he has represebted the spirit of India in many places and international functions, and the Oscars are just another feather to his cap. 👏

Is the statement explicitly stated, like did anyone say "You have to like AR Rehman, or I'm coming to get you"? 😆

Shayari, like I said, that "bashing" word wasn't directed to you at all.. And if yor second post was directed to me, then no, I never asked anyone to like AR, I just asked people to stop being so hard on him.
