[arr] Extension: GURU : After watching 4th time (For Rahman this time)
Hi again guys Here are some more points (very important), which i missed in my original message, regarding BGM of GURU: 1. I am just wondering how easy it is for Rahman to creat a situation with his stylish music. Remember Bombay Awakes song from the album Bombay Dreams. He created the situation of a Bombay market so nicely with his music. Similarly again he created the situation of a market in Take Take in Mangal Pandey - The Rising. Well again he has repeated his magic in GURU. Two times in the movie he has provided very strong BGM while the charecter Guru is wondering through the markets of Turkey and Bombay. Surpurisingly the scene in Turkey has Arabic beats, and the scene in Bombay has the Indian beats. Hats off to Allah Rakha Rahman. If you take him to china he will give Chinese music, with Chinese instruments (WOHE). If you take him to Turkey he will give Turkish (Arabic) music, with Arabic instruments (GURU). I believe only a few (or may be none) Music Composers in the whole World have this ability. God bless him, what more can i ask? Blissful. 2. Mani Ratnam and A R Rahman's pair (Jodi) is like 'Choli and Daman'. In many many scenes of GURU they together have created the situation a visual pleasure to watch. I do not know it was a deliberate attempt or a coincidence but when Aishwarya comes running from roof of her house in the song Tere Bina to embrace Abhishek, the song is running at its best stage where Chinmayee is singing at her best (When she sings the lines 'Tere bina be-swadi be-sadi ratyan ho sajana' at a very low pitch and very soothing voice). And then when they take the camera toward Abhishek, Rahman has just started the same lines but at a high pitch than Chinmayee. And then when camera again moves back toward Aishwarya and she starts running passionatly, at the same time Chinmayee starts singing at a more high pitch than Rahman. And when Abhi and Aish (Guru and Sujata) embrace each other (and their souls get a big relax), the song also comes into a peaceful stage with 'Dam Dar dam Dar' vocals. Oh my God, its not possible that all this visual experience was a coincidence. I have no doubt that even before mking this song Rahman and Ratnam disscussed the situation in great details and then Rahman composed the song (or may be adjusted the song). Well guys when Aishwarya started running and Chinmayee started singing, i wanted to take my heart out, divide in two pieces and give one piece to each of them. But then what i would have left with to give to Ratnam and Rahman. My soul was blissed and i no longer wanted anything else in the world at that point of time. Did you guys notice the face expressions of Abhishek at the same time. Marvellous. 3. One more example of excelence and combination of Rahman and ratnam is the scene in Hospital where Abhishek goes to meet the guy who tried to commit suicide. Mani ratnam starts the scene with a very serious stage and then makes the situation very light by letting his charecters talk about Jumpa (the belly dancer, Mallika) and at the same time Rahman comes with Mayya mayya beats at the background. 4. Guys, do you remember the music that was displayed when the website of GURU was launched. Well did anyone notice where in the movie, rahman used it. Well well well, coz the music has the happy and funny mood, it was used when Guru gets the permission letter to enter the cloth market and he goes to the market and sits down near to the person (Mr. mathura das) who was saying that Guru will never be able to get the permission. 5. Another example of the strenght of combination of Ratnam and Rahman comes when in the hospital when Guru's daughters sing 'Jagein Hain' lines and aishwarya is also humming with the girls. And guys i am getting mad and mad after knowing the most minute details of the movie. If you listen carefully the hospital version of 'Jagein Hain' song, Aishwarya (i mean the singer who gave voice for aishwarya) is not humming at all the times with the girls. Its only that she starts humming (or may be hums intensly and loudly) at a very few points of the song. At the same time Rajiv Menon has captured Aishwarya's face expressions at all those times. Only God knows that who (Rahman or Ratnam or a third person like Rajiv Menon) came up with this intresting idea of letting the girls sing the 'Jagein Hain' theme in hospital. But it shows the greatest team effort behind the movie. Well well well i will keep going on but the words will never finish.

[arr] Guru - Fails Miserably
hi, this is my personal opinion abt guru. I watched it last sunday paying (wasting) 15$. I did not like the movie @ all. The things i hated in the movie are: 1.unnecessary episode of vidya balan/maddy, am sure mani wanted a movie to run for 2.45 hrs, with the original script it was only for 2 hrs, then he thougth to include this. 2. aish is not convincing in her role, look so thin and acting is jaded. 3. songs r unnecessary and placed badly in the movies. mayya (2 stanza was cut r probably pushed to background) is not necessary, immediately followd by barso re (again 2nd stanza pushed to background - except for few lines). ay hairathe does come in bits and pieces, tera bina is not fully picturised and fails to create a impact on screen as it was on trailers and audio's. yammo yammo was okey and baazi laga - highly unnecessary. 4. rajiv menons work was alrite and nothing that gr8. 5. rahman's bgm was okey, he used a lot of songs pieces in the bgm as they were not used by mani properly. 6. so many scenes in rain, barso re, whenver abhishek addresses his staff, prathap pothan episode. why does mani waste so much water when there is so much scarcity in chennai. the point is rain is not reqd. agreed in 1st song of mouna ragam but why repetedly here? 7. moves @ a liesurely pace and doesn't pick up anytime 8. abhishek does all his acts and justifies in 4.5 min saying .5 min is profit, naah it did not work. where did gandhi come in? who asked abt his past to the panel that 2 shirts/15000 rupees stuff? they were asking reasons and justifications for his act? 9.where did mithun disappear in the end? only gud thing was abhishek acting. rahman's songs fails to create an impact on screen, it was very gud in audio and i was jumping.! better luck next time mani ! probably lajjo is more in terms of period again who knows? waste of time and money!

It has continued at the top and what was first predicted as below average has quietly become a hit. Dhoom 2 continues raking in the big money. Not much is left to be said about this movie. Just that it is a blockbuster, a hit wherever it was shown. FollowingDhoom 2 is Vivaah. We can no longer call thisa surprise. It has gone past the 50 day markand the most delightful thing is that collections have been increasing since the 40th day, something that does not happen to any movie. Vivaah is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact it might just pick up and aim higher. Kaabul Express drags along. It is on its way out of theatres. The official DVD release might not be far away. It cannot be called a flop, but coming from the Yashraj banner, it certainly is not in the hit league. A good attempt, good reviews, but not a good show at the box office. May have just recovered cost. Meanwhile the latest release GURU got off to a quiet star in the morning of the first day with around 60% collections but by word of mouth and great reviews, managed to rise to 90% by evening. Almost sure to hit the top spot for the next two weeks. Hit or superhit is something that will have to be decided later. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/jan-07-03/16-01-07-bollywoo\ d.html

RE: [arr] Guru - Fails Miserably- counter back
Hai guys, guru fails miserably.what a statement! guys i want to ask are you all a real ARR's fans? how could you said so when media's, film city and people are talking n telling Guru is a winner for Mani n ARR. Who are you man to critics a project or masterpiece by a great artist who will always appreciated for his works n films like Mani and an international fame musician ARR. Have you directed any movies that became a super blockbuster? or did you all have scored musics for any films which became superhit not because of the film but only by listening the musics? who are you and what is your qualification to penalised them? You must be IR fan (clearly i can see) thats why you condemning ARR n Mani's combo. Do you think IR can give songs and musics like what ARR had done in Guru? Do you think if it happened, it will become superhit? Dont just simply talk. Dont go and watch a movie just for the sake of money and fun. Watch movies for your satisfaction, feel and always appreciate the great works done by people. Dont worry by saying like this two of you wont become heroes in our group and wont affect the results of the film. p/s: Guys fans of ARR, we have found culprits behind all the problems risen in our group regarding talking bad n condemning our Boss n Boss music. So, Gopal n others please beware n dont let them talk anymore. These people are not ARR's fan but just registered to talk about ARR. Guys, come up n do something. Thanks.

Well well well, coz the music has the happy and funny mood, it was used when Guru gets the permission letter to enter the cloth market and he goes to the market and sits down near to the person (Mr. mathura das) who was saying that Guru will never be able to get the permission. 5. Another example of the strenght of combination of Ratnam and Rahman comes when in the hospital when Guru's daughters sing 'Jagein Hain' lines and aishwarya is also humming with the girls. And guys i am getting mad and mad after knowing the most minute details of the movie. If you listen carefully the hospital version of 'Jagein Hain' song, Aishwarya (i mean the singer who gave voice for aishwarya) is not humming at all the times with the girls. Its only that she starts humming (or may be hums intensly and loudly) at a very few points of the song. At the same time Rajiv Menon has captured Aishwarya's face expressions at all those times. Only God knows that who (Rahman or Ratnam or a third person like Rajiv Menon) came up with this intresting idea of letting the girls sing the 'Jagein Hain' theme in hospital. But it shows the greatest team effort behind the movie. Well well well i will keep going on but the words will never finish.

hi, i dont know about the others but i certainly feel the same way you thought about the movie! typical intoduction of a heroine in rain, a little bit of mani-style love scene ,these are makin mani to get back seat! fact is he can not be campared today with young directors like rakesh mehra, sanjayleela bhansali and ashitosh gowarikar who are successful in making matured movies!!! may be thats why rahman has lost his touch as story was deteriorating i hope mani will come up with a sensible movie with aamir in lajjo. i dont want to hurt anybody and contradict about anybody's choice!! just a frank opinion!!! s_sundarr_2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, this is my personal opinion abt guru.

RE: [arr] Guru - Fails Miserably
When most of us (including the critics) feel that music has been one of the best standpoint of the movie, it's not fair to say that . That's your opinion. 'BGM is not good'. This is my opinion. Even if you ask me thousand times, I will tell the same. If you like it, you are free to watch that movie as many times as you wish. But you ask yourself. Please don't make everyone in the group angry ..so tell me which was better movie that was released recently that is comparable to Guru.. If I answer 'So and So' movie songs are good, people will immediately reply 'Then go ahead and watch his movies, don't come here.' If I say, 'Guru is not as good as Dil Se or whatever', 'Why people are always comparing with his previous movies? ARR music is getting matured everyday and he is trying out new things blah blah', people would react. This is just my opinion. I am not here to love each and every bit of his music. If it's good (according to me), I will be the first person to feel happy about the good work given by him. If it's not good (according to me), why should I lie and say 'It rocks... Good... and etc'?. I have all the rights in the world to say I did not like it. If you want to show your affection, show in some other way. Not by replying like 'Get out from here...' regardless of the veracity of the feedback. Even the murderer is usually given an option to defend his side. Because of the people like you, I believe, ARR does not get to hear proper feedback. If everything is good (according to you), why does music fail in a few movies like 'Mangal Pande'. Please note that points have been put forward to answer this guy; not to criticize ARR. Everyone needs improvement. If ARR or someone close to him feels that he does not like to hear these sorts of comments, I am ready to unsubscribe from this group immediately. I know the loss will be mine. But I would not stop listening to his music. Because music is music; does not matter where it comes from. It's not 'the person', I like. It's 'the music', I am interested in. I just love ARR's music. I don't have to prove this to anyone out here. I know that. People close to me know that. But I simply Can't shut my mouth or pretend to like each and every bit of his music. If you like each and every tune / song / BGM of him, you are really great! You have an excellent ears. I appreciate it! Be truthful! I hope this forum is not only to accept positive feedback and also to register negative comments / improvements. If you are expecting only positive comments, I am ready to go out. And of course, I won't go out just because you want me to. If you want everyone in this group to like each of his work, I don't think anyone will be left out in this group. Even ARR has his favorite songs! You must be IR fan (clearly i can see) thats why you condemning ARR n Mani's combo Guys grow up!! Read my mail at least a few more times. You might get what I am trying to say. Hope I have not hurt anyone. Please note that points have been put forward to answer these guys; not to criticize ARR. Thank you.

The Yahoo group members have no reservations on anybody liking or disliking anything. But in my opinion, this group is for the Discussion on ART-OF-RAHMAN but AT-LARGE and not on microscopic level. If I do not like someting from GURU, I will keep it to myself, and not post it here. I honour freedom of expression / opinion.

ARR is, perhaps, tired of giving best for Mani but not getting any appreciation for his efforts. Most of his work in KM (Tremendous songs), Uyire (Excellent songs BGM) went unnoticed. As Mani mentioned in his recent Tamil interview, he should give it a try with his friend IR for his next movie.

Re: [arr] Guru - Fails Miserably
The saddest thing about these mails is that some people (deliberately?) fail to see the bigger picture! Guru is not about Mallika's seductive moves or Ash's rain-soaked sari. This is an inspirational film about daring to dream and pushing the envelope. This is a film about hope. One of those ladies from the Shakti Parivar tells Maddy that if there were 10 Gurus, there wouldn't be poverty in India. Lets look at the bigger picture - the essence of the film. Let not the business of packaging the film for maximum reachability get in the way of its underlying message and intention. If all you could take home from the film were those unnecessary rain scenes or those unnecessary songs, well thenthe lesser said the better. Well done Mani, Abhishek and AR :-) Its time once again to take a bow!!! Regards, Sunil On 1/16/07, s_sundarr_2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, this is my personal opinion abt guru.

The cheque for this amount has already reached ARR. Thanks, Gopal. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear fellow ARR fans. It gives me great pleasure to announce that the total funds collected amounted to Rs. 160173. This has far exceeded my personal expectations as it has some others I spoke to.
