Achieving in life is something. Being grounded is totally different and many are unable to handle success and withstand other people’s success either. One such man is Bappi Lahri. He has been around since time immemorial and he is older than most buildings in Bombay. However, he seems to have lost it this time. Many music composers have gone on record criticizing their peers on the quality of work, including the very talented hot head Ismail Darbar who stated that his work for Kisna was better than what Rahman had given ( read here). Recently the tamil veteran actor Radha Ravi had openly critizised Rahman for going too international and ignoring home soil.He says Tamils have been fooled since ages and this cannot be tolerated.

These are handpicked and tastefully included pieces of art that are seldom noticed in the background of a film. Hope you like it. And yes, do guess the films from where the scores are picked. Please place your guess as comments! [click to continue...]

Masakali Instrumental by Aakash Shah
This song by far has the most simplest and catchy hook in recent times. Masakali means nothing specific, yet it has caught on as a phrase for teasing (in a nice way). This accidental song by Rahman had taken the nation by storm with a wind of freshness and innocence. The track has simple arrangement and a brilliant singer.
Using a peogen as a metaphor and giving it an indicative name was a super concept supported by an equally simple track.And here we are with a spell-bounding instrumental by Aakash Shah.
