Just came across this article in Rediff.

*movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jun/15/is-jai-ho-a-r-rahmans-best-song.htm

I personally do not think 'Jai Ho' is the best composed by him. My personal favourite is 'Dil hai chota sa' from 'Roja' with 'Yeh Haseen Vadiyan' from the same film a close 2nd.

You can find a list of all of his songs for which he was music director here.

What is your favourite AR Rehman composition?

+1, I agree with you. That song 'Jai Ho' is just called the best because it has internation recognization. IMO, its a hopless song, I don't like it.
Roja songs are much much better than that Jai Ho.

+1 for Roja songs.. Especially love "Dil hai chota sa" and "Roja".. I can even go on to say that "Jai ho" is probably the crappiest song composed by Rehman.

No its not. All his Tamilz Classics are the best. If you dont know what I mean, listen to Thirudda Thirudda and Star. (screw the language barrier, music is universal) He hasnt done a single album like that in Bollywood, and I dont think he ever will.

^^ You like Madurai. Finally, i found someone who like Madurai.

BTW
I like songs from Bombay,Roja,and Thiruda Thiruda and Sakkarakatti. They are example for his awesomeness. But 'Jai Ho' is nothing but a crap where everyone is screaming at high-pitch.

To me Songs from "Dil Se" are his best work. Specially mentioning "Satrangi Re", its a challenge for any singer.

I've been there just once. That too 10yrs ago. Now that I'm in Bombay, I hardly ever think of my roots. Though the remedial "thayir chaadum" with "oorga" or "mor mollagaa" is always in my diet :D

TBF, although Jai Ho is crap, Rahman deserved the Oscar "solely" for the kind of quality he had put into music for 2 decades.

Lots of Tamilians here.. :D Happy to know that

BTW Madurai is the best city in TamilNadu, IMO.(Currently i got stuck in Chennai :x)

@on-topic

@The Unknown
I knew it was your dialog. I was just tried to make it clear again, thats it. :smile:

If we started to list his best songs, the list will goes on like a TV serials. We're just saying that Jai Ho not worth the fame that it has. Simply.

Me too from Thirunelvelli, though for the sake of peers, refer to town as Madurai
"arre tera gaon kahaan hai?"
"thirunelveli"
"kya?"
"madurai ke paas"
"kya?"
"theek hai bh***d, Chennai. Khush?"
"arre, tu madrasi hai!"
"fml" :|

It's happened countless times. Anyways, been there just once, 10yrs ago. So dont remember. :D

About the next meet, paakalaam. Ippo college admissions aagatum. CET score chonennaa manum paidhum. AIEEE quota FTW :p
[/tamilz]

A R Rahman is not the same as he was :( or maybe metal has changed my train of thought.
