A.R. Rahman and Shaukat Ali should share the responsibility for the mediocrity that is "Piya Haji Ali" with all of Bollywood. The Arabic tune meets Taal style music is fine. The problem is religion and commercial cinema do not mix well, and my basic complaint is that this song is pointless to the educated listener. (There is no excuse for why Hindi cinema insists on depicting monotheistic Muslims as polytheistic grave worshippers all the time. A producer has no qualms about spending a few crore rupees blowing up cars in his movie so why not also hire a Maulvi, Priest or Pandit to help accurately depict their concepts of worship. Stop offending the audience with your ignorance. Most of the Muslims in the world have no clue who this guy Haji Ali is, nor would we request him to answer our prayers. Muslims pray to Allah (God) alone.)
