While A R Rahman does it in Hindi for the film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Harris does it for the next Goutham Menon's Tamil movie "Vaaranam Aayiram"
It is difficult to believe A R Rahman's perfect and befitting sound and music for the campus story. Three songs are extremely pleasant and catchy. They are "Kabhi kabhi Aditi Zindagi" sung by Rashid Ali, "Kahin to Hogi ho" by Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das and "Tu Bole main Booloon" by the little master A R Rahman himself.
As for Harris's songs Music India online has only a part of the song "Ragasiyame" from Vaaranam Aayiram but you can listen to this beautiful song in its full version on the MusicMazaa, one of the many other sites besides Raaga.com and musicindiaonline.com where you can listen to a ton of new and old music.

dude wat is this...comparing rahman wid harris..u gotta be kiddin me.. i dont say haaris suks or..watever..but how do u come
up wid a topic comparing a.r.rahman wid someone...man..rahman composed music at the age of 9 for a malayalam film..see the
map..u will get the picture...people often dont call anyone as a genious...and we call rahman as a genious..u know y...coz he
is the only person who makes you to feel the inner divine of music..who has thrashed all the limits of music field...ok..let
me put this way..did anyone know wt is bass..treble..jass.before 1993...he revolutionised the music field wid roja..ilayaraja
is a maestro..nobody can compared with him..same falls for rahman..i still can feel the vibe when i was a kid who danced
immensely for chikkubukku..or muqqabla...and also when i was in theatre i dunno who is the music director and wat is
music..but i got goosebumps for the scene where arwindsamy tries to off the fire when terrorist fires our indian flag..a
background music which will make u feel the patriotic sense when u see that scene ..coz of his music...rahmans music is a
slow poison..when u hear the song for a first time..u will feel wat is tis..i dont understand anything..but after repeated
hearings..u will feel somthing that u cant explain...nobody can disagree wid me..i dunno wat harris did so well that rahman
and ilayaraja didnt do..i will list out the points..u will understand completely..
1)harris follows rahman..
* pose given for photos
* working style (night shift as rahman does)
* rahman used to give melodies and varieties in olden days..haaris copies the same taechnique from rahman to stabilise his
position..but the thing is..harris songs are becoming a hit..coz of his singers and lyricist thamarai..guys..make sure.tat if
u listen very keenly there wiil be no diffrent patterns in harris music..but in ARR's case..u cant imagine wat comes up
next...suddenly a flute or violin bit wiil haunt you..and forever it will haunt you..rahmans music lives eternally..maybe
people wud have forgot rahman as he is too busy for olympics,hindi and international music arena...not concentrating so much
in tamil..but wat he haD GIVEN is heavenly music..
*harris copied tunes are very popular in youtube and in various blogs..check out google and youtube..
some examples
1)majunu-mudhar kanave-(nila varum velai)--copied from rahmans old ad jingle for leo coffee(arvindsamy)
2)paartha mudhal naale--(any christians out there-coz its an christian song)-yesu azhaikinrar..unnai yesu azhaikinrar...
3)june ponal--copied from the album blue---allrise..
4)mundinam--faith album..
5)anjala song--base was copied from "jail song from boys movie"
i cant list out all here..check out many blogs and orkut...u will cum to know
guys i dont wana hurt or offend harris or his fan's..but we must accept the fact..if u listen the instrumental version of
harris music..u will feel.."tis song is tat song na..hey i heard it before..harris is truly saved coz of his singers and
lyricist..am not against harris..i too like kaakha kaakha and minnalae..but the credit shud goto singers n lyriscist..ok
leave harris..i will ask u one thing..if u r in andhra..wil u compare devi sri prasad wid rahman ..huh??coz devisri prasad
and manisharma are rocking more than harris jeyaraj there...will u compare like this?..u r comparing bcuz rahman and harris
are from tamilnadu..u know famous copycat deva has also given us superb songs which are a huge hit.but do u still now listen
to that..coz its not giving anything new..but rahman songs..eachtime magic like ilayaraja. .rahman is a national treasure as
bollywood people say..in tamilnadu..most of us are not hearing all genre's of music..we dont even given importance to hindi
or malayalam or telugu songs..(most of us) we listen only tamil...we shud break tis barrier..but malayalee and andhra people
are listening to all songs..tat is a good one..am learning keyboard now..my master says.."MUSIC IS AN ART..IT SHOULD BE
CREATEd,NOT TO BE RECREATED.."taz true...our tamil music directors should come to know tat we have grown so much..hereafter
copied tones will not work wid tamilpeople..tat time should come...let us all respect rahman and ilayaraja sir for what they
have done...as previously said this is childish..dont compare ..jus listen and respect music..stand against pirated and
copycats like vijay antony..yuvan is better compared wid harris and vijay antony(check out-rihanna's unfaithfull-unakena
naan-kadalil vizhunden)..coz yuvan has his own music style..he never imitates rahman or ilayaraja..but harris imitates
rahman..coz rahman laid a successfull path...people lemme ask u this.. will any one get GOLDENGLOBE OR OSCAR NOMINATION
without any hardwork and dedication towards music..who also has opened a music conservatory for students and teaching music
for free(u have to pay only after u become a music director)...what a great human being he is...!!..respect legends for what
they have done..and still doing..dont compare copycats ..imitators wid legends..
O.K Anonymous Dude,
I appreciate the time you have taken to post a comment but I think you did it for the wrong post. I have compared the two and even indicated Harris's music was way better than A R Rahman's on this post on my personal blog http://subashsworld.blogspot.com/2009/01/aamir-khans-ghajini.html which was a review of the Hindi movie Ghajini.
One thing is clear. You are a big A R Rahman fan and I do agree with many things you have said.
I am a big A R Rahman fan myself and I am not trying to say that Harris Jayaraj is better than ARR. But Harris is certainly a force to reckon with and he has been making some great music ever since he arrived on the scene. I will always rate the songs and music of the Tamil film Ghajini much better than the Hindi version whose music and songs were scored by ARR. Take a listen without prejudice and you will be able to see what I mean.
Harris himself agrees that one the best moments of his life was when he was working for ARR. So ARR is like a mentor to him.
I do agree about lifting tunes but then you may not know that ARR himself has been heavily influenced by tunes from the west.
What you may not know of Roja's theme (I repeat "theme" music) music is this. Take a listen to the music of the composer "Vangelis" from the movie "The Bounty" particularly the closing theme. You will find strong similarities there. You might even say it is a lift-off. The piano notes are amazingly similar. Not only Harris's songs but I get a strong feeling of having-it-heard-somewhere when I listen to many of ARR's songs. But all these doesn't mean ARR is a bad music composer. I must say he has been more instrumental in India's National Integration more than any other movement in recent times.
Hi dude.. U cannot tell harris is a copycat.. There may be some resamblance.. I'll tell u only one eg
Aararai kodi(Ah Aah) song is same is Kallori vaanil Sayndha nilavo(Pennin manadhai thottu)
