Re: [arr] Re: What went wrong with "Pray For Me Brother"'s Success???

Stop this argument once & for all......Both individuals be humility personified as the song itself means Pray for me Brother and both don't be seem to be abiding by the theme of it.

Gopal, Vithur etc...and all of you who have been maintaining this group with amazing spirit pls clarify their doubts to end this.
 
Your friend,
Ajay Nair.

PS: Stop bickering about small things and feel privileged to be part of this group. Respect every individual,even Critics and humiliation, or maybe Mr.Rahman himself has to interfere here for better sense to prevail for his fans to learn this.

I dont want to argue with the Nokia video. Any person with a little knowledge of video shooting can make out its not shot on a Nokia N series
cell phone. You simply cannot get that kind of a quality.

And the theme is poverty. Can you explain in what ways did the video convey any of that?! As far as i can see there was a couple driving around and a rapper on the streets. Hence the message was not conveyed.
