can i raise a tiny voice of protest in the din of all who proclaim a r rahman as the maestro / genius ever since he has himself an oscar nomination for a film whose music decidedly ordinary? the best song on it was not written by him. 'paper planes' is all M I A. the 'dilli 6' or even the 'jaane tu..' or 'yuvraaj' had few pieces of genuine fun but nothing as good as the fabulous 'dostana' soundtrack by vishal shekhar or even 'baaware' and 'sapnon se bhare naina' from 'luck by chance' by shankar ehsaan loy. besides when rahman sings he is not a patch on shankar.
i loved konkona sen in luck by chance and hritik roshan , farhan akhtar, dimple kapadia, rishi kapoor and even isha sharvani. the film was slick and was warm towards the characters who were all filmy cliches. the story was pretty predictable- but we did want farhan to make it big and konkona to be happy.
and since i started this post speaking about new music maybe a quick music update- electro pop rock like 'tv on the radio's 'dear science'; mgmt 'oracular spectacular'; the 'dev d' soundtrack; high places; hot chip and most of all the fabulous madness of the animal collective and their new album 'merriweather post pavillion'
