DEBATE: Has AR RAHMAN failed INDIA with MILLION DOLLAR ARM?

I have not heard any of his holly sound tracks except slumdog. I did not find slumdog any great either. Jai ho Jai ho was below average and overhyped. Therefore I am not surprised that he has failed there.

First off, in my opinion, India needs to stop thinking of individuals who are doing their jobs in any jurisdiction (Hollywood, Bollywood, Pollywood, Tellywood etc) as being competitors in a field, and the vocation being a sport. 

AR did not fail India. He is not competing in the Olympics for India. He's an adult who is hired, and paid to do a job- in this case Disney. And does it. That's the end of that. 

You don't see Canadians going around harping about which Canadian citizen has "failed" Canada in the entertainment industry, you will see it with athletes though who ARE competing on the world stage with other states.

AR is a talented musician, composer and artist. There is NO debate as to him failing India or not, because where was the competition? What was the expectation? Do y'all expect him to produce an oscar worthy score or be a part of an oscar feature every time? That's not how reality works.

I'd also like to add that Hollywood movies aren't hits or misses based on their sound track like Bollywood Movies.

Finally, AR might get to do more Hollywood movie sound tracks, but they'd most likely again only be ones that have an INDIAN theme to them. 
Don't expect him to do the sound track of any Cameron movies. Ever. 

okay. lol.

I agree that Desi musician are brought up in a different environment and musical background and their rols is often in movies related to India etc or perhaps in mumbo jumbo type jungle movies. I have not seen them in proper English movies. Which makes sense. There is no shame in that.
