  • I am really proud of u thalaiva...so many tamilians make us proud.. SHANKAR RAJNIKANTH MANIRATHNAM ARR.. proud to be a tamilian..

  • rahman gives music just listen to that and shut all your fucking intellectual discourses on his religion, language etc. all the asses who judge him for granted must all remember that we indians are soooo below average in everything starting from basic needs to contribution to science. keep this in mind and when a fellow indian reaches heights just shut your fucking rat bums and be grateful that someone among us is really going places. i said be grateful you sick mediocre bastards.

  • Thumbs up if you feel 7 gays saw this video and disliked it...

  • noo one caan beatt u ...ar rehmaann....

  • A R Rahman you are TheOneWorldOneSky Maker... well said ji, hate Bollywood the word.... yes we are all indians... So Please tell our movies are india movies..... This bollywood word Screening all other Indian Cine Field.... P

  • I never seen such a humble, simple and talented person. He is so famous and yet keeps his cool and is always focused on his music. His music speaks for him and is a role model for people who wants to be successful in their own roles. A perfect example of God fearing, ethical and dedicated personality. Long live Rahman and his Music.

  • Such a legend and so down to earth.

  • Rahman hates bollywood. But bollywood is run by the muzzi dons frm dubai. and rahman is also a muzzi. so he sings for bollywood.

  • @MrTumhum1 he hates bollywood BECAUSE bollywood in India just includes hindi movies/music and it doesnt represent INDIA as a whole.

  • maharashtra

  • my India rocks

  • Comment removed

  • Bollywood produces Hindi movies. Hindi is a language spoken by North Indians. . The west should note that Hindi is not even India's national language. According to Art 340 of the Indian Constitution it is India's official language. Rahman actually spoke the truth. Bollywood =Hindi is not equivalent to India. Chennai and South India produces more movies than Bollywood. Kollywood would be more representative of India. South Indians excel in whichever field they enter.

  • Real Asian brides are there **busizz4me.info**

  • A.R. Rahman, u sir, are my hero.

  • A.R RAHAMAN Copying western musik and he have no creativity

  • @ramvtb you are mad....he making really good crossover musik thats it...

  • @janestana A.R.RAHMANS CROSS OVER MUSIC CAUSE DIMINISHING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF LYRICS

  • @ramvtb

  • hiz wordz r true... itz not juz a word, passion to hiz music... dnt create any rumor dude.. he iz d 1ly man w/o rumorz.... njoy hiz muzic

  • As most of the indian videos, you motherfuckers have to divide this into regional and ehtnic lines. Your religion is not Important, neither is your region. Just shut your ignorant asses up and enjoy the music.

  • What the fuck ... I hate the word bollywood too . and i'm from Mumbai . I believe when it comes to Indian films, the word bollywood should not be used . It sort of just seperates all the other regional film industries and trying to show off the Hindi film industy as the ONLY Indian film industry . this is wrong . Great legendary hindi film actors such as Prithiviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachan and even Shah Rukh Khan and Amir Khan adimired and still admire south indian films

  • Fuck you guys for arguing about religion. A.R Rahman is brilliant and talented but also intelligent and aware. A well deserved Oscar.

  • this guy is such a badass, best music composer in the world

  • who care abt his bollywood bashing.Rahman is just a fckn convert muzzi.

  • nice interview

  • @yogesh198909 yah...he expressed his hatred so freely here.

  • tum tum mafucker,go fuck ur mum.

  • u fucking bastards, bollywood would never had such a good music without a r rahman......respect him for wat u enjoyed

  • @samparch4937 yes.. i totally respect him for bollywood bashing..hats off to this convert muzzi.

  • Please guys, before saying that Rahman hates "bollywood" (the term or the industry), think about the context in which he said that.

    He said he hates the term "bollywood" only when it's used to reference the Indian film industry in general, not the term itself or the bollywood industry.

  • U...u...umother fucker bastard tumhum shut ur ass hole mouth....idiot

  • well he just says that bollywood does not bring in all the indian film industries.. and thats wrong representation.. so to make it clear bollywood should not be used as Indian film industry name. Collectively, it should be perhaps called Indian Film industry and not bollywood.. And i think rahman does not hate bollywood he just is fair.. otherwise he would have not done hindi movies to begin with.. he is not a racist nor he hates north indians.. its we guys who are making opinions..

  • Fuck u humthum u..u..fucking bastards.

  • @manojpos69 fuc ur ass ..rahman is one racist bastard.

  • Well said Rehman the Genius :)

  • @josephmaharshi yup..he has really stood up for all the southies.

  • @tumhum1

    what do you mean he stood for southies.......he just said Bollywood is not Indian Cinema industry...

  • @ccrod2muster yup..and he hates bollywood

  • Bollywood is just a word...

  • @themax316 but he still hates it.

  • rahman now has a career in hollywood. So no harm in cussing hindi or north indians.

  • one south indian interviewing another south indian and togther they are doing north indian bashing.Congrats to both of them.

  • @tumhum1 ....Kindly understand what he's saying. Does he say Bollywood is worst? He says apart from boolywood some industries are there in India. Don't u think this is right? I think you would have been extremely happy if he had hidden the truth & said that the bollywood is the one & only industry in India. How long do you think you can suppress all others apart from Bollywood? Please don't be biased. Then our country can't develop soon as we expect it.

  • @valiantvimal what makes you think u r so concerned about the development of country?The fact is that most of the industries, educational centres and scientific research centres are in south and west of india. And I am yet to find a south indian who doesnt cusses the north indians.And that is including rahman.So thank you and good bye.

  • @tumhum1..I am very much confused with your statement. Do you think there is no people getting help from Southern India & vice versa? I am not living anywhere else other than India. So, I know the status of Indian society. Don't be extravagant. Your worries are unreasonable. I have number of friends in Northern side as well as southern side. I know how they are behaving each other. So, don't simply blame a group of people by just pointing out errors out of 2 or more examples among a big number.

  • @tumhum1 how is he bashing north indians? He is just saying there are more than just one movie industry in India.

  • there is nothing to do with north indian south indian thingy .... rahman is a universal gift ... let the world enjoy his work ...

  • @vijaykartik1989 well..he said how he just hates bollywood.

  • @tumhum1 hey dont be silly just understand wat he said.. he hates the word bollywood only wen it comes to indian film industry...

    indian film industry means bollywood,kannada,telugu,tamil­,malyalam. every thing makes indian film industry got it...

  • @vygo1990 Well..he never seemed to hav hated bollywoeed while he was working there..after shifting his base to hollywood he has suddenly started hating bollywood.

  • @MrTumhum1

    Man... You're Tumhum I guess... You're still here shitting in this one?? :D after almost 3 months I had a look at this thread where a shitted long time back... man hats off to you I thought you must be shifted to some other thread.. :D anyways what happened to your old youtube account?

  • @sodatta11 Y r so so concerned abt rahman?..he didnt even stick to ur southie culture.did he?.he converted to a fckn muzzi..and now hes gone to hollywood...and hes freely expressing his hate for north indians.

  • @MrTumhum1

    You got me wrong... I just wanted to say hello ... didnt mean to offend you man...I'm not a southie nor a northie.. I'm from far east...

    And I'm not concerned abt rehman... Its not more than a time pass that people do here in youtube..

  • @sodatta11 here u come with one more divide...east indian..lol..wtf

  • @MrTumhum1

    he doesnt hate north indian, he is trying to explain what is bollywood and other regional film industry which represents india, dont come here to create rumours tat he hate north indians

  • @MrTumhum1 he is a true south indian ..... but he stands for whole india....doesn't matter which religion he belongs to.....

  • @janestana WTf...You mean south indian culture is same as muzzi culture...lol

  • First of all, the channels like NDTV must be fucked as they are biased. According to them all these Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada films are commonly called as southern films. This is the importance & recognition they are giving to each of our industries. That's the reason why our maestro says this answer in TIME interview.

  • While the people from south see & praise Hindi movies, most of the people from the north are underestimating southern movies. They don't know the fact that the current bollywood is run by a plenty of talented Southern artists.

  • thanks rahman for showing your cheap racist mentality.

  • @tumhum1 F**** cant u understand english.. first go and learn english and den see this video

  • This is exactly whats wrong with India. Learn to appreciate all religions and cultures.

    Its true that the kashmiri in the north and the tamilian in the south are polar opposites but unless we learn to accept all cultures this country will rot as it is today.

  • Thank you His Highness Rahman Bhai for telling that truth to the world, that Indian movie doesn't means hindi movie or bollywood movies. We too hate d word Bollywood coz it simply ignoring great & great movies in Malayalam, Tamil or Telugu. People doesn't knw, even most of d bollywood hits are just remake of South Indian Movies. Dey don't knw d Most talented Director Priyadarshan is from South India. Dey don't accept the most talented Rasool pookuty from south India. But its a truth..

  • @sanforall yah..now lets go and fuck the north indians!

  • wt a nice slap 4 bollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!rahman come in kollywood 1st!!!!!!!!....some say tat he went hollywood because of bollywood......bt,tey 4gt he went bollywood because of kollywood!!!!!!!!!SOUTH INDIA ROCKS!!!!!!i knw hw unfair it is though im nt 4m india,bt im n indian..

  • @popahols yup..he is going to give more slaps to hindi, bollywood and the fuckn north indians...rahman is the guy..hes gonna do it !

  • @sanforall Yea thank you Mr. Rahman for saying Bollywood means "North Indian" films? Way to be a hypocrite and group every language other than the super special southern languages that need individual recognition, into "bollywood". Someone tell him that there is a great punjabi film industry, bengali film industry and many others which dont remake any of the lovely movies from the south.

  • @sanforall why r u just talking abt south indian movies?do we bengalis make any lesser good movies.the entire world knows satyajit ray and mrinal sen and so many others.ray din get oscar for a single movie, he won entire lifetime achievement award.

  • @forbidnapple The world itself nvr questions the legacy of Indian film Industry or they nvr tramples down any Indian movies. But the thing is while saying about an Indian Movie, the world uses the word Bollywood. And so it automatically focused on Hindi movies. Thus some extraordinary movies from the rest didn't get much attention or they simply get ignored. I only mean that.. In a London bus, I heard some blondes saying today "My Name is Khan" releasing.. thats an Indian movie, not Bollywood

  • @sanforall how about the bengali greats only oscar winning Indian Director Satyajit Roy. Great composers kishore kumar, RD Burman, and "Tollywood" which again is such a cruel basterdization of a beautiful art community.

  • The Mozart of Madras discloses the truth to the whole world...Well said the Maestro...

    Well said!!!!

  • @valiantvimal congrats to you too.Now lets fuck the north hindi indians.

  • Well said Rahman Sir! I see some awards given in hindi channels saying 'Best Indian actor' and everything however, I see only bollywood people in the function.. Many people still think that Indian films are just hindi films... But I'm sure that your comments are a large paradigm shift for those people to digest.. That doesn't change the facts you said....

  • Comment removed

  • He makes me feel proud that I am also from HIS COUNTRY(Commenting from Dubai thou actually I am from Chennai)....

    Please don't make this commenting section dirty by fighting.

    Be Proud enjoy his Music......

  • He makes me feel proud that I am also from HIS COUNTRY(Commenting from Dubai thou actually I am from Chennai)....

    Please don't make this commenting section dirty by fighting.

    Be Proud enjoy his Music......

  • a r rahman #FTW

  • How disgusting to see some of the comments on here. People arguing about religion etc. Any civilized person would enjoy his music instead going to into his personal region/belief.

  • @alpha7445 when the great rahman himself is so careful to differentiate betwnn bollywood and pollywood then why can we discuss it?

  • @tumhum1

    What are you talking about? Did you not read my response. I said nothing about differentiating bollywood and "pollywood".

  • @alpha7445 but rahman is sayin it here in this vid...if he can differentiate then y can we differentiate?

  • @tumhum1

    Well than go ahead "differentiate" all you want. I said nothing about that.

  • @alpha7445 but rahman is a muslim.What religion r u?

  • indian music is great...

  • Hatred feeds your agony. You hate yourself when you use the word 'Hate'. I hate this... I hate that... I don't agree...

    We just need to keep this doing and wait until we all get burnt in this hatred.

  • Lame...Lame...Lame

  • love this man :)

  • Sir I'm extremely disappointed and disheartened to say that you are a HYPOCRITE!

    Being a musician I would never have thought that one of my inspirations would say something like that...

    An old saying seems to be proven again by you sir...

    There is nothing called india... Its all about a billion people from different states, religion, language, race, culture forcefully living togather...

  • @sodatta1 what do u mean there is nothing called india? I AM INDIAN. and I am above any of your bullshit race state and religion

  • @tumhum1

    You are a Hypocrite just like most of us. You justified that at the very moment you felt the need of replying to my comment.

  • @sodatta1 oh yah..anyone who replies to ur comment becomes a hypocrite isnt it...like u r some big king and noone should dare to reply to ur comment..anyone who does so will be declared a hyprocite.

  • @tumhum1

    Yes absolutely Mr. "I give a damn", perhaps if you want to have this opinion.

    I didn't wish to offend your ridiculous point of you, However it was you who came uninvited.

    And as far as what you said about replying to my comment, I'd have rather enjoyed it if I had expected any. My comment was entirely directed towards the content of this video not to someone like you.

  • @sodatta1 Take ur damn and shove it right up us ass where it originally came from.Rahman has taken a great step in taking up islam and leaving your shitty religion. But of course he still has a long way to go as I can see for the video.

  • @tumhum1

    Thank you sir,

    Thanks for proving my point.

    It doesn't take much to abuse when you're free to type anything on the internet.

    You seem to be an ugly man who was utterly offended when your girliness is unfolded and publicized.

    GIRLY,.. Thats what you are...

    And about religion, I guess You don't qualify to talk about religion.

  • @tumhum1

    @tumhum1

    You can continue posting you replies to my comment, u can also abuse if you wish to deliberately prove your manhood again. It wont change anything, you'll remain the same poor angry guy/girl.

    I'm out of this conversation...

  • @sodatta1 If you want to remain out of conversation then better give up the habit of shitting on internet.

  • @Ronniefromohio1 muslims do no mean pakis... muslims are above any nationalities u assole

  • The words from the Mozart of Madras live from Sydney.. "It gets be dizzy, like being in the middle of the hurricane So many of you,your love,your energy, Difficult for me to compare it all. But as I get older, I see other points of view, Things I wouldn't have noticed before If music wakes you, makes you think... heals you, I guess the music is working... " I have no idea how the music can work if it's categorized as malyalam, tamil, telugu or north indian....
  • by saying that he hates bollywood he is trying to say that he hates north indians.

  • @tumhum1 ..he said he hates the word bollywood cus it doesnt represent india as a whole..goddamn son, chillll.

  • @MrBrownMayn when western talks of bollywood, they mean all the movies made in india..and not necessarly hindi. all these tamili guys are same racists. including rahman.

  • @bba2utsc rahman said he hates bollywood

  • @tumhum1 and @shailesh2k1in - I am a bollywood hater ? What bullshit !!! What part of what I said haven't been understood ? I deduce that either you guys are weak in English or  acting stupid for some timepass or may be plain stupid...whatever, I am fed up explaining and I am not commenting anymore..I have explained enough..

  • @tbsabu.not you maybe but rahman is a hater.

  • tamilians are one big racists!!!

  • RAHMAN HATES BOLLYWOOD:

  • In the description it says "he NOW has a global audience". Puh. He's ALWAYS had a global audience. People all over the world have been appreciating his music. Just because America has now started to recognize his genius doesn't make it anything new...

  • he said he hates bollywood.

  • he said he hates the word bollywood. Good, well said mr rahman!!

  • a r rahman is a black dog ! kala kuttha sala !!!!!!!

  • 0:53 thats my boy i like you

  • YO U SHUD NO TAMIL MOVIE OF ARRAHMAN IS GOOD MUSIC AND LUQIUD DANCE HAS THE BEST ARAHMAN TAMIL SONG IN IT LIKE FROM (azhiya thamizh magan) that means handsome tamil son

  • u r 90% right

    he is not fully hindi he is 3/4 and 1/4 tamil

    dillep part is hindi and kumar is tamil

  • Just For Ur information Guyz...... ARR Was Born In HIndu FAmily His Name Was AS.Dileep KUMAR ..... He After wards Converted Himself To Islam......... HAil ARR

  • that is because he is an intelligent man and realised that islam is the only true religion and allah is the only god.

  • @tumhum1

    santaclaus, the little mermaid and god/allah are all just old stories...they're not actually true

  • He is not doing Bollywood bashing..he is just explaining that Indian music does not mean Bollywood music..Indian movies does not mean Bollywood...the way it is perceived by West...there is so much in it...there is wrong in lumping everything Bollywood category...you would start appreciate that only when you watch movies from those regions and listen to the songs from those regions..and btw..he didn't say tollywood and mollywood..

  • he said he "hates" bollywood.

  • He said he hates "the word bollywood "...he does not hate bollywood...please hear him again and understand what he meant...you can also search Amitabh Bachhans interviews...Amitabh also have said that he hate the word Bollywood...just google for "amitabh hate word bollywood"

  • @tbsabu well he has nothing against the word hollywood. but he only hates the word bollywood. why is that?

  • He explains it there...Bollywood is the name given by westerners to indicate Indian Films...it came from westerners ignorance of Indian Films and tries to reflect the supposed "superiority of hollywood"... btw... did you google for "amitabh hate word bollywood" ".? Amitabh explains why Bollywood is not appropriate word...

  • @tbsabu and why should he hate it?

  • Answered this in replyto rumhum1...copy-pasting here -

    He explains it there...Bollywood is the name given by westerners to indicate Indian Films...it came from westerners ignorance of Indian Films and tries to reflect the supposed "superiority of hollywood"... btw... did you google for "amitabh hate word bollywood" ".? Amitabh explains why Bollywood is not appropriate word...Again Indian movies does not mean Bollywood movies..there are many movie industries here besides bollywood..

  • @tbsabu so he is a bollywood hater!

  • @tumhum1 and @shailesh2k1in -What part of what I said haven't been understood ? I deduce that either you guys are weak in English or acting stupid for some timepass or may be plain stupid...whatever, I am fed up explaining and I am not commenting anymore..I have explained enough..

  • @tbsabu: You have explained it succinctly yet sufficiently! Great job! If someone doesn't understand it is his/her shortcoming.

    A lot of intelligent people find "Bollywood" to be a derogatory term that somehow implies that Mumbai film industry is trying to imitate or catch up to Hollywood. Why is it so difficult to understand?

  • @tbsabu ah i c.u hate bollywood too.

  • @tbsabu good point brother

  • Akon is muslim too. Read in wikapedia.

  • i no

  • all the talented musical film industries are not known to the world. For most people bollywood (hindi) film music industy is indian film music industry. Tamil Kollywood, Malayalam Mollywood Telungu Tollywood and Kanadam are unknown. A R Rahman is tamil originally from Tamil Naadu but to the world he's a bollywood musician. Not fair
