Rahmanism- Where it is going?

I thought of writing this blog much earlier than previous the one about Tendulkar. But I refrained from doing so since I don't know whether I am right. I am not the one who is having first hand knowledge about music. I don't even know the basics about it but I can smell the goodness or the catching aura of a song in the first instance itself. Idon't have to hear it repeatedly. I am sure many of you will have a feeling of joy or something enjoyable or something pleasant or something which reminds you your childhood on hearing good tunes. But on hearing the songs of Raavanan(Raavan inHindi) I had no such feeling in my heart. In fact I struggled to follow them uninterruptedly. Except Usire Poguthe( Behne De Mujhe in Hindi) sung by Karthik I surely can't digest any song.

They say how cleverly Rahman mixes his tunes with beats, blends the voices of his singers( sometimes he changes them too !), how he deviates from the standard compositions and things like that. But what is the use if he can't give a song which common man can't hum when he is in good mood of the day. What is the use when it doesn't kindle your heart? What is the use when it doesn't serve its purpose? I think he no longers belongs to the place where he originally belonged to. Or he thinks people will like his work in whatever way he gives. Or probably he thinks it is enough if he satisfies a select audience. Where is the Rahman who gave us excellant tunes like Porale...(Karuthamma and later in his path breaking album Vande matharam), Ennavale...(Kadalan), Minnale....(May Mdham).As Bhradwaj Rangan in The New Indian Express put it he produces more head music than a heart music.Oh! Rahman! We the common people of India want something simple, sweet and cherishable.We can't understand your musical genius all the time!
