In spite of being such a big MD down south, why did IR not make it to the top in HFM

As legend has it, IR was signed for a couple of Hindi movies soon after Sadma. Sippy, the maker of Sholay, took IR as the MD. He wanted IR to get 'inspired' from some English number, which IR refused to do. Promptly Sippy had replaced someone else as the MD. IR filed a case against Sippy. And Sippy made sure that IR never got a chance in HFM. Do not know what happened to the case, but IR lost his market (!!!!) in HFM. I read this in a Telugu magazine quite some years back. This topic is to discuss this and also whether IR would have made it big in HFM. What are his plusses and minuses in HFM and how would Hindi music lovers reacted to IR kind of music. No personal attacks please.

  AVR, while you're there i need some help on a Hindi song that I've been desperately trying to track down - Lata's solo "Tumhein Yaad Karte Karte". This song's been on my mind for weeks now, can't recollect the movie. Can you recall the movie and the MD?

  Hindi film industry and film sort do not need IR's music nor its output deserves such highly classified bgm. Don't get me wrong that I am critising HFM. They (north) have their own trend and taste, which can be comfortably satisfied by Anu Malik, Jatin-Latit etc. Does one complaints about ARR's contribution to the HFM ? It was just received as it is. What more, K^3 Gham's music went around the globe more than Lagaan did. Correct me if I am wrong. Thx.

  ir is appreciated in hfm -- just not very often. his background music to "lajja" was appreciated by musicians everywhere just recently.

  Subash,
  
  Can you tell me who and where bgm of lajja has been appreciated. I agree that it was mind-blowing. But simply none from HFM realised this.
  Can you give me one critic who has written about IR's BGM in Lajja?

  U may want to read the review of subash k jha...He had given a good review of the BG Score of Lajja....He had a given a very good review about hey ram as well.

  yes S is right. You can even check out the reviews by some chap called Kunal Kohli...his superlatives on IR were lavish. Even Sadma was very well reviewed, and truly it was such a wonderful track. I liked the background music pieces in particular.
  
  And of course, R D Burman's, Naushad's and Salil Chaudhary's words of praise for IR are well-known.

  Kunal Kohli is directing Yash Chopra's next production with Hrithik in the lead
  
  Music is by Pandit Shiv kumar sharma's son Rahul.
