IMHO these two are Rahman's greatest. In no specific order

 

 

 

 

Would have loved for these to be included in the set.

 

There were so many other songs they could have included and the set list would not have felt out of place. No songs from Rangeela, Rang De Basanti, Delhi 6 etc.

 

I wish they played "Maa Tujhe Salam". The musical composition is just phenomenal in that song.

Could someone who left Islam be a star in Pakistan or Bangladesh? 

No, they would be infamous as late stars in Pakistan or BD.  It has happened in India though. 

A Kerala film director Ali Akbar converted to Hinduism and changed his name to Ramasimhan Aboobakker in 2021:

Since when is our moral compass calibrated to the standards the Bangladeshis and Pakistanis set? They are intolerant. We aren’t. At least not to that level. 
 

His conversion was a person choice. Let’s leave it at that. Yusuf Khan took up a Hindu screen name. Salman Khan does Ganesh Arti every year. Those are personal choices. They are super stars and loved across the board for their work.

If the demographics of India were reversed as in it was 80% Muslim, it would be no different than Pakistan and Bangladesh. Just look at Kashmir.

But Mohtarma, it is not acknowledged in the mainstream that we are like this because the majority is Hindu and they are naturally plural and respect all religions equally (not tolerant or secular) . It would not be the case if it was otherwise as seen in Pakistan and BD. Any slight tilt towards  the Dharmic sensibilities is seen as a move towards Hindu Rashtra and we are destined towards a Hindu Pakistan.  
 

Just to be factual, Yusuf Khan didn’t go by his original name because he has narrated in a interview that he chose Dilip Kumar just to avoid his dad noticing it as he was against Yusuf Khan entering the bad world of movies. Accept that Yusuf Khan would not be as popular as Dilip Kumar then, but acceptance was not an issue. People didn’t close their ears then for a Sahir , Kaifi or Shakeel written song.
 

But the narrative changed after 90s that Dilup Kumar changed his screen name to be accepted among Hindu India.

In JMI University diyas were kicked and Diwali celebrations halted. Too secular

Narrative change started from 70's itself. 
Making fun of Pandits as idiots, Thakurs as cruel, Baniyas as greedy. Every rich person running a mill will be cruel and play no hoots to it's labourers. Every Chacha will be an honest individual. Salim-Javed were the key instigator led by the idea of Communism.
90's it peaked, Nadeem-Sravan got pelthora of movies courtesy of underworld. Kumar Sanu who used to sing in the D company programs was being given songs after songs.
Gulshan Kumar's murder was the wake up call for some groups.

My fav ARR song .. it is loosely based on a very unique Carnatic classical raga kedaram. Singer P.Unnikrishnevwn got a national award for this sing

 

 

Tune is absolutely melodious, didn't knew it was based on raag kedaram.
Hindi version is as sweet sung by Hariharan, even though lyrics don't make any sense.
