When you start to do a new thing, all you do is repeat what you learnt from your teachers or use what you have learnt..
that is exactly what happened, that is rahman's first film, he was inspired by Vangelis. but it is not complete ripoff... also listen to his other music, slowly over the years he has pulled out of it and has created his own world, his own style... please he is way beyond anybodys league....
appreciate good work... he revolutionized indian music. ofcourse it was earlier filled with anu malik copied stuff earlier until rahman broke in to the scene and changed it...
btw, anu malik also copies rahman and says he was inspired by them...
No one is denying that A.R Rahman is not talented, he is probably the best composer in South Asia but in terms of music in general, that includes all other forms apart from film music. Pakistan is a lot better then India, we had the honor of creating new genres like Sufi Rock, many firsts in Asia like first boy band Vital Signs and also first collaboration with western artists, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with Peter Gabriel in late 80's.
Our music industry has a lot of variation and it caters to many different groups. Fusion music from Coke Studio is one such example of innovation in music.
