Sillunnu Oru Kadhal - A.R.Rahman - Vaali - Surya

If ARR just give huge hits to TFM than HFM, for sure TFM will stand behind ARR forever. ARR did give alot of Beautiful and inovative songs to TFM untill he become famous in HFM. After that, He gives his best to HFM and put average effort to TFM. Yet his albums became hit in TFM. And he humiliated TfM by Dubbing those HFM songs to TFM. Those became hit in TFM as well. In the past 2 years ARR gave his best to TFM only when they make movies in Tamil and Hindi simultaniously (like Ayutha Eluthu). But Hindi people claiming Hindi is the Original version.

When ARR do musical programe in foreign countries 80% of the songs are Hindi songs. Even though original version is tamil (ARR's early Albums Roja, Bombay). Hindi people dont even beleive original version is Tamil song. They are claiming its Hindi song and we dubbed it to Tamil. When they do a TV programe about Indian movies in foreign language sure they are playing ARR songs.. but in Hindi even though original is tamil.

ARR is only making Hindi music become famous in foreign countries not Tamil music. In all the interviews given by ARR to foreign media he never mention about Tamil movies. He only talks about Hindi movies. He only says he started his career in Madrass (Not tamil nadu) and with Maniratnam's Roja (He dont even mention the word TAMIL). He never says that he is a Tamil.

If ARR is dedicated to Tamil non of these new MDs would have become famous in TFM. TFM would be praying ARR as god and forgoten Ilayaraja. People still love Ilayaraja because he is dedicated to Tamil(I admire him for that reason too). Now to take back his possition in TFM ARR has to face the Challenge... There are lot of new talents in TFM like HJ, YSR, Vijey Antony, Joshua Srider. Yes, they are new..but they are giving quality songs.

But after a long gap ARR has given a beautiful Tamil Album. We must appreciate that. And hope he will give more to Tamil than Hindi. Then we will all stand behind ARR.. atkeast when doing programes in Uk, US Australia give more Tamil songs than Hindi songs.

Dude, Hindi is a more popular language than tamil.
Hindi represents the whole of India whereas tamil represents only TN.So when he goes abroad for concerts representing India it is obvious that Hindi songs take the priority.But still he includes some of his tamil songs(humma humma in tamil in US concert sung by him) which shows that he has not forgotten his roots.
But i think for a music composer, language does not matter.Music coming from any musician's Keyboard or any instrument for that matter does not signify any language.

Mahen1, i guess Ramakrishna has a valid point.......also, if someone from NY asks u where r u from, then answering "Dr.Subbaraya Nagar,Kodambakkam" wud be weird isn't it?? also, how wud xpect a american/britisher to know abt Kizhakku cheemayile???

also, tamil media started criticising him well b4 he moved to Hindi.......so i dunt think ARR's stay cud have made any difference to tamilians' attitude that IR is/was/will be the best......

Why Hindi is more popular than Tamil? Tamil is the mother language of all languages. Why cant they make Tamil more popular than Hindi? Arguably ARR is the best MD in India. And he is a Tamil. If people like ARR, Maniratnam dedicated to Tamil.. ok If dedication is too hard atleast give priority to Tamil language, Tamil will become popular than Hindi. By The Way in Sydney hama hama was played in Hindi and even old Tamil songs was played in Hindi. For the Tamil speaking people, our only satisfaction is ARR sung the Ah Ah song himself in Tamil.

Hindi doesnt represent hole of India. It is India.. NOT "HINDI"YA?

Hindi doesnt represent whole of India. It is India.. NOT "HINDI"YA?

Hindhi does represent the whole of india becuz its indias official language.language of the capital and more people know hindhi in india than tamil.hence it is given priority which makes sense.

mahen, sadly size matters......though Tamil is one of the best languages in the world, less ppl. speak tamil than hindi.......Hindi is mother tongue for more than 4 states in India....Hindi is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.....

http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html

Hindi is at 3 and Tamil is at 17.........i dont think ARR and Maniratnam are bigger than the system to change it......

moreover, bollywood is arguably the biggest film industry in the world.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood

bollywood is as much as ours as much as northies'........take out contributions of vaijyanthimala, Guru dutt,Ram Gopal varma, Maniratnam, ARRahman, Kamalhassan, Hema Mailini, Sridevi, Priyadarshan, countless IR songs which were copied and millions of telugu/tamil scripts which were lifted then bollywood becomes hollow....... India is ours, so is Bollywood

This is ridiculous. What priority is he not giving to tamil? Can u please explain. He is still doing tamil films regularly. He has big projects like Sivaji, JoK, Gf.What more do u want?
You can argue that he has more hindi films on hand than in tamil.But thats not his mistake.He doesn't keep going asking for chance in Bollywood.The directors there who are fond of him have signed him up. There are many talented directors in Tamil too like Selva, Bala, Cheran, Vishnu, Gautham and so on. But do u expect him to go to them begging for chance? He is a bigger icon than these directors. But they are satisfied with people like Yuvan, Vidyasagar, DeviSri Prasad. What can Rahman do ?

Criticism is important to any artist. Real artist use criticism to improve there work. I am sure ARR did that too. "if someone from NY asks u where r u from, then answering "Dr.Subbaraya Nagar,Kodambakkam" wud be weird isn't it??" Logic didnt match what I wrote. Insted I will give an example.. Say an Indian scientist wanted to proove he is the best in the world. He went to US and challenged us scientists and prooved that he is the best of them all. But US allowed him to stay in US and claimed He is an American. And that scientist didnt bother aobut that comment.

"so i dunt think ARR's stay cud have made any difference to tamilians" -The word Tamilians (Tamils) includes ARR. Dont forget he is a Tamil too.

IR has done so much to Tamil music and has given some unforgetable songs. During his days, his music was inovative (like ARR these days) and was giving beautiful music to Tamil movies. And during his days no other MDs in Hindi or other languages match IR and arguably IR was the best MD in India. He gave pride to Tamils. Ofcourse tamils will remember IR forever. There is no doubt IR is a great MD. If ARR does that..they might keep him on top of IR. Maddy, Bollywood became famous because of ARR. Without ARR no one would have look at Bollywood.
