Enough
has
been
said
about
the
Common
Wealth
Games
this
year
to
be
held
in
Delhi.
Right
from
corruption
to
shady
jobs
and
sportsmen
backing
out,
many
hurdles
have
come
in
the
organising
of
the
whole
show.
However,
one
thing
that
everyone
was
positively
looking
forward
was
the
motivational
and
energetic
Common
Wealth
Theme
song
to
be
composed
by
the
revered
A
R
Rahman.
The
conference
where
the
song
was
to
be
launched,
well,
didn't
have
the
song
but
the
details
about
it.
The
reason
was
that
back
then
the
CWG
committee
wanted
the
song
to
be
tweaked
and
releasing
it
without
the
necessary
changes
would've
been
foolhardy.
Despite
all
this,
everyone
was
expecting
a
highly
inspiring
anthem
from
Rahman,
given
his
current
status
in
world
music.
However,
after
the
song
came
out
on
the
internet,
the
response
was
far
from
encouraging.
Rahman
fans
weren't
just
disappointed,
they
were
actually
shocked.
The
comments
ranged
from
"this
song
got
no
vibe…I
mean
you
should
be
getting
Goosebumps
for
some
event
like
this.
It
was
supposed
to
be
more
like
an
epic
song" to
"CWG
Organizing
Committee
should
be
made
to
listen
to
this
song
10,000
times
as
a
punishment."
Some
supporters
feel
that
the
song
will
grow
on
people
and
with
enough
marketing
people
will
like
it,
while
some
others
feel
that
the
lyrics
lack
the
punch,
still
others
from
the
music
industry
are
of
the
opinion
that
with
a
wide
range
of
Indian
instruments
that
Rahman
could've
used,
his
song
lacks
Indian-ness
and
the
sporting
spirit
of
this
event.
The
theme
song
hasn't
gone
down
well
with
the
CWG
committee
as
well
who
feel
that
the
song
is
nowhere
worth
the
price
(Rs.
5
crore)
demanded
by
the
music
composer.
They
are
insisting
for
the
track
to
be
recomposed,
while
others
on
board
can't
understand
why
Rahman
was
given
the
sole
responsibility
for
the
composition
and
that
too
for
six
months.
Though
Rahman's
die
hard
fans
stand
by
him
and
insist
that
listening
to
this
song
over
and
over
again
would
help
and
some
others
demand
for
a
whole
new
song,
one
really
wonders
if
any
damage
control
can
be
done
when
we're
so
close
to
the
Common
Wealth
Games.
