Oscar winning Music Composer AR Rehman launched the theme song of Common Wealth Games 2010 at Kingdom Of Dreams in Gurgaon.The music maestro has not been able to create that 'magic' and bring in the "wow" factor in the much awaited song. "O Yaaro,Yeh India Bula Liya"has not been able to live up to the expectations of the people.
It took six months for him to compose the song which does not even justify to the quality of output.Though the instrumental part of it is something to be applauded for but,the lyrics have pulled the song down.
Even the officials are not satisfied and happy with the work of Rehman.
V.K Malhotra executive board member of CWG committee feels that the song has fallen short of expectation and is disappointed.
Former Sports Minister Shahnawaz Hussain said,"I Respect Rehman For What He Has Achieved But The Track Simply Does Not Excite Me.No One In The OC Likes It Except Perhaps Suresh Kalmadi".
Little changes in the song would have made it far better.To make it worth 5 crore there should have been the fusion of Sukhwinder Singh,Shaan with AR Rehman himself.The lyrics of the song should have been composed either by Gulzar or Javed Akhtar which could have made the song more simple and powerful.
Rehman,should think of recomposing the song only if he wants it to surpass 'Wakka Wakka' sung by Shakira for Fifa World Cup 2010.
As said before, I like the starting and the guitar bit. Anyways, they can make up with a better presentation and yeah a bit of classical flavor is needed to add spark :)
ReplyDeletehe should just stick to what he is good at.The song needs to be inspirational rather than being a soft song!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe song sucks. The lyrics are pathetic, Even the rock part is too soft, it sounds like its written for .......... i dont know what. If youl talk of Shakira's "Wakka Wakka", then you gotta be kiddin, this song is nowhere near it.
ReplyDeleteLyrics need to be worked upon, and the music too.
I would be Rs.1cr for the song that too bcoz its A.R Rehman. 5cr. No way. He's gotta be kiddin.
Rehman bhai, if u ever read this, then please be fair to the audience. This is not on.]
Dissapointing.

ReplyDeleteby ar rehman.....
ReplyDeleteNice post, Abhay! Ha ha, love that quote by Shahnawaz Hussain :P "Everyone except kalmadi" lol!! BAD lyrics...BAD! And even the music doesn't inspire you. Rahman's my favorite. I am so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteSorry to disagree guys, I love the song....its totally what we are...its totally india!!! I liked it the first time i heard it..! He's combined various beats to give the flavour of versatile India. Sorry to disagree...but I like it..!
ReplyDeleteWell i liked the song when i heard it for the fifth time and trust me when it was launched in gurgaon in an event it was spectacular and may be the performance will be more spectacular in opening ceremony.The song will be refined a bit more and den it will create sensation to everyone.
