The point is, Rahman did have some cringe-worthy and atrocious songs. Or, a country bumpkin producer who insisted in adding a village-matter song to satisfy his C center or Z center audiences. Or the senior singer who insisted on singing free-flow and Rahman, diplomacy personified couldn’t do anything. Or a producer who forced his absurd tune on young Rahman. Perhaps it was an assistant who begged Rahman to do one song. But, even back then, I had a couple of Rahman songs that I wondered if they were really composed by the man. So, don’t question my fanboy credentials. Heck, I used to run a website called to collect his music and helping fans get access to his songs in one place… this was in early 2000! That I was a fanatic in those days when he started and eventually became more mature and discerning with his music is a different story. I was really happy to have found a composer who composed the kind of music I could proudly associate with my sensibilities and interests. You may wonder – why pick on bad songs and make a list out of it? No, sorry – I don’t derive happiness in picking bad songs from any composer, but Rahman is a composer that I started following, adoring and loving when I was in the prime of my life… early 20s.
