Listen to his music in 'Hindustani' and compare with
Ace of Base (all that she wants)
I myself don't rate ARR highly, but this sort of bashing is unfair.

I completely agree with you, Ravi. These are blatant lies. I have almost half
of the albums these guys talk about and none of the accusings they have done
are close to the truth. These guys cannot accept the fact that A R Rahman has
revolutionized their film music, and they therefore are trying to sabotage
him. This is purely pathetic!! Shame on these guys.
