Thanks parthaji, I will surely try.

Actually, what I meant is...the average middle-class urban american wouldn't prefer musicals.

1) As you said, economic reasons.
2) The avg american prefers rock over every other music type. Then you have pop, rap, etc etc etc. Classical music...which is actually the base of many a musical, isn't an avg american's forte.

100% Correct. I haven't been trying to go for a Mozart's concert for a long long time, but there are very very few of them and they have it on weekdays.

Let me make the same request you make, cut out the ji crap.

My Rehman fav r many but the song sung by Hemu yesterday,ooo,when he started singing that i just felt like i'll not be so unhappy as he sang my fav song,whenever i feel low,i hear it and go to sleep.

Nahin samne(Taal),Ye haseen wadiyan(Roja),Ai ajnabi(Dil Se) & Kismet se tum(Pukar) are my most fav songs.

The emotions and feelings in his songs make u go inside the song & involved.

I luv them.❤️

after a while I took my bass guitar out and played along with mehandi hai rachne wali ...from Zubeidaa
I really enjoyed ...maza aa gaya....
ab if some one doesn't enjoy fine, it doesn't matter... 😊 ...lets enjoy good music per se..

haan,no doubt,he was ahead of his time,so he has faced a lot of resistance,some even told him that he's ruining music,but he was so confident and strong,hats off to him for that,i'm not comparing ARR with him,ARR is not ahead of time actually,but i told that the blending of indian & western music is best in songs of both of them.Panchamda is irreplaceable.

ARR even can think of ways 2 produce music by computer and does it,which makes his work a little easier but during Panchamda no such things were available and still he made his work 2 utmost perfection.

I'm just comparing them with others that other western and indian fusions just seem as noise rather than music.

Don't u think so?😊

I will wait for some more years then I shall comment on this...
see both have been born in diff times, ARR is carrying ahead the work of IR in a diff mode & flavour, when ARR started working he already had all the instruments & raag established in Hindi/Tamil music by giants like Pancham & IR.
But think of the resistance Pancham must have faced..I mean he introduced drums in place of ghada & matka, replaced one string instrument by another, introduced a generation of changes which was not heard before in everything, right from sound mixing, engg, twin tracking & so on...
I think Pancham's place is irreplacable because of these reasons..also his experiments are much more wild, earthy, weird yet successful...

haan,me too,i've heard Telgu some but Tamil only 2 to three.😕

Awesome post. Can't add anything because I don't listen to Tamil music.

Thanks for the article, Sinhaji!

Abilash/Ruby,

You need to listen to this tamil song (Andhi Mazhai). Note that this was recorded in 1981.

To me this was one song which made the Tamil Music world look at IR in a different perspective. I have read that it was based on "SivaRanjani" (I have no clue of carnatic music), I would like Sinhaji and Kishore Bhakta to help me out here.

hey,that's very nice yaar.😊

Glad you liked it. Here are the links for couple of instrumentals by IR.

1. How to Name it (based on Violin)

2. Nothing but wind (based on Flute). Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia plays flute in this.

Well you said it, it ran for more than 45 days. Do we have less than 45 days/year?. They said it fizzled out, but show me an article where it says "Bombay Dreams" was a loss?.

Looking at the other broadway shows, BD was the least running one. The fact that it ran for less than year, it shows its a loss and running a show was such high expense, they could not afford to continue. Cats,Phantom of the opera,42nd Strret,Le Miserable all had housfull shows for more than 5 years.

Don't tell me they are bad we are good. When you compete with mainstream American market, you have to like that and best exampel is Crouching Tiger Hidden dragon and some other Asian movies. We are still not ready to influence in mainstream market.

Of the topic ...
