A R Rahman - Live in Concert - 29 Dec 2012

[Appu s]

We are forced to cancel the show in Detroit due to an infrastructure collapse at The Pontiac Silverdome which damaged the set. The incident occured during stage construction. No one was seriously injured. Dates in Detroit and Toronto will be rescheduled due to the incident. I regret any inconvenience this causes my fans and am deeply grateful no one from my team or the local Detroit stage crew was seriously injured.

Just back from the hospital It's a miracle that my team escaped with minor injuries The lighting rig came apart Thanks to the almighty that everyone's safe.

Ram,

The future of film music is not very good. Gone are days when films had 5, 6 songs. Now nobody prefers to sit and watch songs. Wait and see.. Indian film industry will slowly refrain itself from songs..

Ram,

Personally I think songs ruin the movie. They make the film less serious and hence a lot of writers and directors are creatively cramped because they are forced to include songs randomly in their story. Song and dance only works for the standard Bollywood romantic style flick however these days films in India are becoming more action with serious themes, where songs are just inappropriate.
I think songs are better utilised as background score.

[Yathu]

Sometimes the thing that draws the crowds to watch a film are the songs. I don't think a poor script will get any better by removing the songs.

Using songs as BGMs works quite well e.g. Aromale in VTV, but chopping up & shortening a song to make them less of a speedbraker really doesn't work. E.g. in Ayutha Elutthu, the Nenjam Ellam song. That just makes the screenplay even more disjointed and abrupt.
