For any artiste or technician, reaching the top is one milestone. But once they reach there, sustaining the aura is rather difficult. Right now, AR Rahman is facing questions about his talent. At one time, he was praised as the most talented music director of present generation.
There were people who felt it was a huge honour to work with him and all top producers would queue up to get him to compose music for them. But of late, there is increasing criticism against him and many feel that he has lost his Midas touch. One such example is the music of Lingaa. It is widely felt that if the film had better music, then it would have worked at the box office.
Naturally, given his past track record with films like Premikudu, Premadesam, Bombay, etc, there are high expectations from him every time he composes music for a film. But Lingaa’s music is nowhere nearer to his range, feel many.
So, did Rahman not like the story to be sufficiently inspired? Or are people unable to understand his music anymore? Some say he has reached the pinnacle of his career and seems to be oblivious to other’s expectations any more.
