Also, i dont make money through this... Now read on.. This year, just like the last few years I had planned to release a one hour mix set of Rahman's finest. For those of you who are unaware, I release a special non-stop Rahman's edit mix for each deevali . These are mixed versions AR Rahman's finest tracks in the year. Lot of people out there have downloaded them and played during their parities and events in wake of the festival and related reunions. Just like last year, this year too many of you have sent me emails asking if I was working on a mix set for Deevali. Yes I am and I present a preview of the mix here! I am putting together two mix sets of Rahman's finest, one set for Hindi tracks and the other one for Tamil tracks.. Both of them are the non-stop mix edits with playback time of about 45 mins. Initially I had planned to release the Hindi mix set without waiting for the audio release of Rahman's latest – Yuvraaj. However, I instantly changed my mind when I heard the tracks. They are mind-blowing and deserve a mention in the mix set. I think the music of Rahman for the film Yuvraaj music is extremely fresh and superbly produced. Very rich and appealing. Needless to say, being an ardent fan of Rahman i will have a positive bias! Anyways, i thought it would be nice if I present a portion of my Wiredbeats – Rahman Festival Edit Mix 2008 which has a medley of the few tracks from Yuvraaj so you may pre-judge the presentation and may be give me few ideas and tracks that you want me to mix. I think that would be cool. So, here goes. Presenting Yuvraaj – The Festival Edition Medley Mix.

Those who started writing the review after the first hearing..i hope they had their lips sealed now. Who can give such a diverse music.

My take: Shano is going to be most popular. Mastam is going to be the runner up. in terms of chart toppings. 2)Dil kas rishta, manmohini and tu muskura are the top 3 numbers no doubt. One similarity I could notice is the use of ALAAP in all 3, Whenever he uses them, its almost a gauranteed hit. Good track tu muskura becomes excellent bcoz of javed ali's alaap. yeah, these songs are great and soothin. But, a hip hop dance song would always become more popular than soothing songs. 3)I have an excellent audio system, somehow the other numbers are just petrol on top of water, doesn't sink in. Sundar can't listen, saala. :-) 4)Not all rahman tracks grows on you. We all say that before the tracks grow on us. :-) 5)Picturisation may save some tracks, which cannot be said at this time. Picturization had helped many an albums in the past and turned the chart toppings. In 80s, Madhuri Dixit/ Anil Kapoor's film Beta (Anand Millind)'s Koyal Si Teri Boli was ruling the charts but when the movie got released, the sensuous picturization of Dhak Dhak Karne Laga moved to the top and removed Koyal. In 90s, Madhuri Dixit/ Sanjay Kapoor's film Raja (Nadeem Shravan)'s Nazrein Mili Dil Dhadka was a hit but when the movie got released, the naughty, mischievous picturization of Ankhiyaan Milaaoon Kabhi moved to the top and removed Love you raja. Of course, picturization can help and anything can happen. But, there is a catch. Ghai is still holding his musical sensitivities, but his directorial capabilities have taken a down slide. His films are not doing well, and he has lost the grip on public's pulse. His latest many movies are outright shabbiliy made. Even taal was badly made movie. Other than Anil Kapoor's new type of practical, pragramtic, wordly-wise characterization, there was nothing new in Taal that one can notice and remember (of course, Aish's beauty and ARR's music were there). The scene where Akshay's dad insults Aish and her father and the way Akshay reacts was outright sickening. Pardes's climax of Mahima running away, and then showing the guy's love bites to the elders was sickening. Yaadein's climax of that shareholders' meeting showing cards to jury the fate of love of the duo was unrealistic. So, I am not expecting much, visually, from Subhash Ghai this time also. In any case, this album has its own perfect foundation and it would bring viewers to the theatres, exactly what happened in Taal, even the movie is badly done. 6)Ghai rightly quoted Taal - Best Musical Ever from rahman. He knows, rahman knows... A statement is valid at the time it is made. That EVER meant SO FAR. It has been 9 years. They are duly entitled to revise their statement or surpass it.

This is what makes the Yuvvraaj album so special. Many have combined 1 and 2 well, 2 and 3, 4 and 5. But, rarely has anyone combined 5 with any other number other than 4 or at most 3, and that too in rudimentary ways. Rahman has used these styles in different combinations in different albums: Jodha Akbar is largely 1 and 2 with small 3 Jaane Tu is largely 5 with some 3 and small 2 Ada is mostly 2, some 3, some 5, some 4 There is almost always a 2 and 3 in each of Rahman's albums these days with heavy emphasis on 4 and 5 in his Tamil soundtracks of late.

Though I too small to understand the meaning of religion or religious prayers or even to understand the words of that divine prayer but i was crazy for that. I used to fight with my parents to switch Ptv at right time every day. That caused a reason of worry in my Hindu Brahmin family.

I was nearly 9 years old watching my favorite show Surabhi on doordarshan.

Re: [arr] Yuvvraaj - Colossal score by Rahman 4.5/5 !!! IG review!
Truly indeed. ARR has composed a masterpiece which will stand in the years to come. We hear people still raving about taal after these years. Now they will rave about this in the coming years. Composing at its best and has taken Indian music to another level. Truly an international composer. tks with regards, Amin --- On Mon, 10/20/08, Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [arr] Yuvvraaj - Colossal score by Rahman 4.5/5 !!! IG review! To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, October 20, 2008, 11:57 PM Yuvvraaj Music Review Print E-mail this Yuvvraaj - Colossal score by Rahman IndiaGlitz [Monday, October 20, 2008] Yippee! For those who yearned to heed over spellbinding musical scores, here comes A.R. Rahman's phenomenal gifts of composition, literary and playing skill surmounting to the extremum. The sensational duo combo Subash Ghai-Rahman electrified with their scintillating piece with 'Taal' and of course 'Yuvvraaj' offers chest-full-of delights. Perhaps, before owning a copy of this album, make sure it is not for those of you who want Rahman's full-toned sweet melodies, but those who desire to listen to the driving energies of Mozart, Yehudi Menuhin, Beethoven and indeed contemporary musician Rahman blended together. If you're gonna question, Are the tunes so entrancing? Obviously, it isn't a clichéd piece of work of turning Gulzar's lyrical lines into tunes. Singers have displayed their emotions and it's stupendously balanced by sharp clarity of instrumental texture. You're sure to lose yourselves out on the purity and sweetness of realistic music. Dil Ka Rishta – Enchanting score by Rahman Singers: Sonu Ningam, Roop Kumar Rathod, A.R.Rahman, Clinton Cerejo, Suzanne D'Mello, Vivinenne Pocha The interlude goes on with fortepiano followed by fast flowing orchestral violins and stringed instruments played together. The elegantly noble Andante cantabile keeps accompanying throughout 7.39mins of songs turning down the spotlights and arresting your senses. Never-seen-before vocalisms of singers who keep sustaining at high level tones and A.R. Rahman rendering his voice in middle parts are fascinating. Sonu Ningam strides with his uttermost spirits in churning the best out of him. Roop Kumar Rathod, Clinton Cerejo, Suzanne D'Mello and Vivienne Pocha add more to the attractive quotients. Moreover, the song has a mix of symphonic genre blended with contemporary western beats and of course the carnatic ragas. This should have really evoked your previsions of how this exquisite melody would sound. Go ahead; get yourselves transfixed with it …. Shano Shano – Merely for disco floors Singers: Sonu Nigam, Srinivas, Kartik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivienne Pocha, Tina. Again it's Sonu Ningam taking on lead along with Srinivas, Karthik and Sunaina. But their exquisite voices get eclipsed by the winkling techno-beats. Well, the melodious tunes seem to be bit mediocre at certain parts. But Subash Ghai with his sorcerous abilities in cinematography would have got the best on visuals. The song would go reiterated over and over straight onto the discotheques. Shano Shano (Remix) – Sleek and stylish Ember Rap Distinctive peppy mix of instrumental synthesizers in hand with brilliantly engineered work gets the best sound. Jazzy beat with chorally-stringed chords blended with techno-bass all throughout the rap is sure to turn you zippy. Preludes are completely played on sync-thick leads and Ember sways tattling with rap lines are awesome. With refrains of 'Shano Shano' continually recapitulated by female chorus, makes the entire 2.35mins effectually lavish… Mastam Mastam – Chilling your senses Singers: Sonu Ningam, Alka Yagnik, Naresh and Benny Looks like Sonu Ningam haps to be the ducky lad for Rahman. He fleets rendering his voice for end-to-end of different genres all throughout the album. Well, this song sounds to be having been placed in elated situation. So, what makes the song so special? A perfect orchestration of singers and instruments don't overshadow voices at any extent… Rhythmic Rumba chords on guitars keeps flowing through and last minute of the song you've the best combo of strings and percussions blended…. Probably, you can expect a better dance over there on the screen. Manmohini Morey – Mix of classic 'n' western Singer: Vijay Prakash Merely, a fusion of Hindustani Ragas rendered by Gulzar and synthesized western beats by maestro. Vijay Prakash vocalizes more or less similar with the styles of Ustad Ali Khan and 'Sang-froid' would be the best term to entitle this number. Surely, you'll feel this to be an already experienced musical and of course it's alike 'Dheem Ta Dare' from Thakshak (singer: Suja Bhattacharya, Music: A.R.Rahman). Tu Hi Meri Dost – Ever-cherishing melody Singers: Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghosal, A.R. Rahman. Over-the-top! No other words to ennoble this

I had reason to be excited- A.R.R scored the movie's songs. To start off this brief review, a general look at the album first up and you realise that the film is an out and out musical. Talk about conveying things through music, Gulzar has done justice to Rahman's tunes by penning apt lyrics which create a sense of anticipation to the listener about the situation at hand in the movie when the song is on. Another observation - a lot of orchestration has been used- and almost all the songs have been seamlessly blended with one another on the BGM front (maybe for the flashback effect? who knows - Subhash Ghai and his fantasies !!) Shano Shano - A typical party track- gets you into the groove and dancing - I actually went to the extent of trying out karaoke for this song! Addictive and an instant hit for sure. Shano Shano Remix- A slower version of the same song remixed with some hiphop style lyrics-not as impressive as the original I would say. Sometimes certain songs are best left to their original version, or better, remixed by A.R.R. himself and not others. Hope he is listening:) Main Hoon Yuvvraaj - Unsure why they included this in the album, but this brief dialogue style song-wannabe with Salman Khan on the vocals is ok - passable. Subhash Ghai-ish again. Zindagi Zindagi- Sung mellifluously by Srinivas, here is where the album starts getting a bit hi-fi. Carnatic based composition which more than impressed me - will turn out to be one of the best hits of the year. (has some common notes with Narumugaiye from Iruvar, Manam Virumbudhey Unnai from a movie's name I forgot, and more noticeably a common note with Luka Chuppi from Rang De Basanti) Tu Meri Dost Hai- This song is where the Yuvvraaj theme music kicks in - ARR has included it in almost all the songs, and infused life beautifully into it. A different duet, the music and vocals deliver bigtime- transports you to dreamland. Defines friendship beautifully with its lyrics, and surprise as A.R.R comes in towards the end to render a few lines by himself! Sureshot bigtime hit. (Found some common notes with Aao Na..of kyun ho gaya na) Dil Ka Rishta- One of my favourites of this album too - plenty of orchestra, vocals, and a totally refreshing tune. Never before heard this type of a rendition. Seven and a half minutes of absolute enjoyment, a peppy song ( supposedly emotional ) and one which has apt English lyrics to go with good verses in Hindi. A.R.R. does an Alaap in the end- don't miss out on it! Mastam Mastam - Another peppy track , with cues from Corrs' BGM ( and of course that means it has resemblances to Nenjodu Kalandhidu from Kaadhal Konden) but the similarity kind of ends there. One song which shoots up your energy levels, with nice little instrumentals accompanying it. Cute number. Tu Muskura - Bigtime hit. No words to describe how wonderfully this song has been sung. I think A.R.R. must have composed the tune and set the lyrics to it., but anyways it fits in so wonderfully that there is no way noone could not like it. Hear it to feel it - all I can say :) No comments :) Manmohini Morey - If Sonu Nigam was an everpresent phenomenon in this album who must have impressed you in all the numbers, here's one person who takes everything away - Vijay Prakash. A hindustani based composition, which requires a lot of training for performance on such a high scale- Vijay has pulled it off with ease. Remember him as the person who sung Poovasam.. from Anbe Sivam - this is by far the best song in this album but by a slender margin( as far as I gauge this one impressed me the most). Don't miss the alaap interludes. Overall, Yuvvraaj gets an 9.0/10 from me and a thumbs up to A.R.R. for having the guts to venturing on such territory and actually managing to pull it off.

So i go by reading the reviews.( in india by some means you will get to listen to most of the new songs and can pick your own good ones) .

[arr] Lyrics First ... Music Second .. or Vice Versa?
Hi all, There has been an ongoing discussions that yesteryear music directors makes music according to lyrics given to them and not vice versa that they give a tune to the lyricist to fill in with words..And nowadays the later is practiced more.. Listen to the track MASTAM MASTAM mainly , and you can clearly feel the music is weaved around the lyrics, keeping the lyrics at the core. The lyrics never stick to the traditional pattern and ARR had done magic with that keeping his music to flow along with the lyrics. This shows why Rahman is in league with great music directors India has produced..SD, RD..Shankar - Jaikishan, OP Nayyar etc.. And i would like to point out an interesting thing.. i hope you all noticed and feeled.. in the same track.. when the words come kahega zamaana .. oo.. suneega zamaana, you are transferred to the 50's era..for these few seconds.. amazing.. No copying.. nothing.. but pure transformation.. Back to the main topic.. what you guys thing about it.. ARR Rules.. Always. Rakesh

We buy our spendy passes not knowing what we're going to get in return, but trusting that, for the most part, fest co-directors Tom Luddy and Gary Meyer will have filled our festival stockings with sugarplums rather than lumps of coal. And most of the time, that proves to be the case. But no matter what ends up on the official schedule, there's always buzz and speculation around what this year's sneaks (that is, bigger films that haven't yet released, which aren't on the offical fest schedule) are going to be, and often, the sneaks end up garnering a good deal of the fest buzz. This year, the juiciest sneak by far was Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle's film about a young orphan growing up in the slums of Mumbai who goes on a game show and winds up a millionaire, only to find himself arrested for fraud because no one believes a slumdog like him could have possibly won without cheating. I went into the screening of Slumdog at the Palm Theater (one of several temporary theaters in Telluride that, like the fest headquarters called Brigadoon, appears as if by magic every Labor Day weekend) very uncertain about what I was going see. I've seen most of Boyle's better-known films, and therefore had certain expectations going in about what the tone of the film was likely to be; those expectations were heightened when Boyle introduced the film by saying, I should warn you, the opening scene includes some fairly graphic torture, so if you're squeamish ... Then the opening credits rolled, the film began, and by the time Boyle got to the young hero's first flashback scene of a pack of young street kids being chased by police through the streets of Mumbai, he had me. Like pretty much everyone else who saw the film that night at Telluride, I left the screening with the magical sense I'd had walking out of the sneak of Juno almost exactly a year earlier -- that undeniable feeling that I'd just seen something special, a surprising, honest, heartwarming film with the potential to be big. Very big. Working outside the UK, as a friend of mine observed after we saw the film, seems to have enhanced the versatile Boyle's directorial strengths, while allowing him to reach out to a wider audience than his previous films. With Shallow Grave (my personal favorite of the director's films up to now) Boyle explored the realm of a dark crime caper; Trainspotting focused on an urban drug addict; Sunshine delved into sci-fi and the dire need to save the sun; 28 Days Later brought on the zombie action (good for horror fans, not so much for a more general audience), and Millions (the closest Boyle's previously come to making a mainstream-friendly film) was really a statement about British materialism cloaked in the vestiges of a family film. But Boyle's films, while generally critically well-received, haven't resonated well at the box office; 28 Days Later and The Beach are the only two to have cracked $50 million. Slumdog Millionaire, which explores poverty, depravity, and disparity of wealth and class while still maintaining a positive worldview and sense of hope, is Boyle's his most broadly accessible film to date, and with it's classic storytelling structure, it will appeal to a wider audience than many of Boyle's previous films. It could do very well at the mainstream box office, especially in the hands of Fox Searchlight, who passed on financing the film but picked it up later for distrib. And of course, if any studio knows how to successfully market a sweet, surprising film like Slumdog to an Oscar nom -- or better yet, Oscar gold -- it's Searchlight, who previously did big things with 2006 Sundance acquisition Little Miss Sunshine and last year's mega-hit Juno. When Searchlight shelled out $10 million for Little Miss Sunshine at Sundance a couple years ago after a heated bidding war against a couple of other studios, more than a few film journalists commenced with much moaning, wailing and gnashing of teeth over the sale, predicting the studio would never make back its investment on a film that, they felt, would have minimal mainstream appeal. They were wrong, of course, as the film ended up grossing over $100 million world-wide. The film's directors, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, proved to have the right instincts too; after struggling for a decade to get the film made and scrapping an earlier studio deal over a casting dispute in which the folks with the money wanted an A-list cast to draw higher international dollars, Faris and Dayton stuck to their guns, insisting the film should be made with their talented, if less-than-A-list ensemble cast. Dayton and Faris held out for a private investor, and made the film they wanted. Their instincts, too, proved to be

She said all the songs that you guys keep listening all the day are of same kind and they are different than the usual songs on Radio and television.

[arr] Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj
http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/oct/21yuv.htm
[arr] Slow Songs !!!
When it comes to slow songs, no one can ever come near to ARR composition . Everytime i think about the change in music pre and post ROJA release, I get thrilled. The music has drastically improved !!. ROJA movie music had made me to listen to all tamil music of ARR , even though i cannot understand tamil. After release of ROJA, me and one of my collegemate(he too doesnt understand tamil ) became such a big fan of ARR that, we used to eagerly wait for the next audio (casette ) release of ARR and also enquire every week in audio shop whether any new album of ARR has released. Since we dont understand tamil, we just glance in audio cassette cover for any letter A R and also for Panchaten records in. One more diff was that, only ARR album had list of all musicians, this helped us to identify whether album belongs to ARR. Once we ended up buying album done by Suresh peters since it contained Thanks to ARR. Its ARR music which thought the real use of using 5.1 surround system and also to watch movie with ARR music on theatres capable of handling ARR sound !!. Wish ARR compose albums for every national day!!!
[arr] Re: Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj
here is the full article That A R Rahman is a master composer is no biggie. What is truly commendable is that he has earned an unblemished reputation of someone whose name alone sends promises of astounding melody. And so, at the risk of gushing, I'd say any soundtrack by him is like an event itself, more significant than hugely popular stars and their purported demigod status. This year, he took us on a breathtaking tour of royalty and romance with the majestic *Jodhaa Akbar [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=jodhaa%20akbar ] *and followed it with the frolic-filled, foot-tapping trendiness in the youthful beats of *Jaane Tu[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=jaane%20tu ]... Ya Jaane Na*. - *Why we should look forward toYuvvraajhttp://specials.rediff.com/movies/2008/oct/20slid1.htm * Next, he helms Subhash Ghai's[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=subhash%20ghai ] lavishly-staged, *Yuvvraaj*, inspired in soul and element from European and Indian classical as well as Rahman's exclusive library of imagination. Being a wide-ranging musical, *Yuvvraaj*, starring Salman Khan [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=salman%20khan ], Katrina Kaif [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=katrina%20kaif ], Zayed Khan [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=zayed%20khan ] and Anil Kapoor [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=anil%20kapoor ], like Ghai's *Taal[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=taal ]*, is every music-aficionado's delight. Here's why: Besides the CD layout, there's not much *Yuvvraaj *shares in common with * Taal*. The latter was deliberately theatrical and consisted folk-tune flavours. This one is marvelously smooth and meadow-fresh, conjuring lilting images of Prague and Austria, where it has been extensively filmed. At the same time, it packs in enough complex emotions of its own. The soundtrack opens with *Main hoon Yuvvraaj*, wherein Salman Khan spews hard-to-miss sarcasm, introducing himself as the proverbial 'bad boy' against the etched-in-every-memory Fifth of Beethoven (performed by The Chennai String Orchestra). He has a point to prove, a notion to dispel. And he does it, with spirit, beauty and Benny Dayal (of *Pappu can't dance saala *fame)'s striking vocals, through Gulzar's [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=gulzar ] wistful poetry and Rahman's inventive intricacy of* Tu meri dost hain*. [image: Katrina Kaif]The lingering rhythm of *Tu meri dost *is swapped for the zingy, retro, disco-friendly beats of *Shano Shano*. An animated line-up of singers, right from Sonu Nigam [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=sonu%20nigam ], Srinivas to Sunaina, Vivienna Pocha bring the house down in this club-meets-lounge ditty. Its remix by Krishna Chetan, featuring Ember, is a dry and darker rap-inclusive interpretation of the racy original. *Tu muskura* is a lyrical delight sending a wave of goose bumps across the enamoured listener. Gulzar's vivid wizardry pours its heart out through verse like, '*Sharir see yeh muskurahatein teri. Badan main sunti hoon main aahatein teri*.' Needless to say it takes Rahman's exquisite touch to cast these delicate words into the silhouette of his melodies. Sonu Nigam lends his characteristic velvetiness to the peppy hues of *Mastam mastam*, again overflowing with Gulzar's graphic thoughts (*Bheje mein bhochal hain, pairon mein paatal hain*). Effortlessly free-flowing, *Mastam*'s USP lies in its being entertaining and silvery, at once. [image: Anil Kapoor]Misty-eyed poignancy breathes effectively through the melancholic realisation of *Zindagi*. Rendered with excellent restraint and stirring sentiment by Srinivas, against Rahman's deft play of woodwinds and breezy strings, this is easily one of *Yuvvraj*'s best compositions. Piano, cello and other participants of a grand orchestra and powerful chorus create a vision of escalating drama of sibling bonding under Rahman's intense guidance and signature *alaap. Dil ka rishta *is his brand of symphony, generating a state of big-screen showmanship and mellifluous festivities. The vigorously classical notes of Manmohini morey, with a conspicuous stamp of Rahman's whiz-kid personality, are grippingly and flawlessly translated by Vijay Prakash. Ultimately, *Yuvvraaj *is a triumphant score from the maestro. For all its meticulous arrangement and old-world grandeur, it's essentially deep-rooted in timeless melody, which seldom disappoints.

Re: [arr] blogger bombed - I can't stop laughing!
So, is might right ? We also need to understand that the days of one or two newspapers throughout a city, one TV channel , no internet have gone by. So with the media channels increasing, the trash that comes with it is also going to increase. We cannot expect everyone to toe our line. The last thing we would to happen is tarnish Rahman by our responses. Because as the largest fan group (I think so) , it is also our duty to practice what Rahman preaches and practices.

We also need to understand that the days of one or two newspapers throughout a city, one TV channel , no internet have gone by. So with the media channels increasing, the trash that comes with it is also going to increase. We cannot expect everyone to toe our line.

[arr] Re: Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj
I am regular reader of rediff and I cant remember any album getting 4/5.. So whether a few out here like it or not critics have liked it :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Sai Theodore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: here is the full article That A R Rahman is a master composer is no biggie. What is truly commendable is that he has earned an unblemished reputation of someone whose name alone sends promises of astounding melody. And so, at the risk of gushing, I'd say any soundtrack by him is like an event itself, more significant than hugely popular stars and their purported demigod status. This year, he took us on a breathtaking tour of royalty and romance with the majestic *Jodhaa Akbar [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=jodhaa% 20akbar ] *and followed it with the frolic-filled, foot-tapping trendiness in the youthful beats of *Jaane Tu[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=jaane% 20tu ]... Ya Jaane Na*. - *Why we should look forward toYuvvraajhttp://specials.rediff.com/movies/2008/oct/20slid1.htm * Next, he helms Subhash Ghai's[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php? MT=subhash%20ghai ] lavishly-staged, *Yuvvraaj*, inspired in soul and element from European and Indian classical as well as Rahman's exclusive library of imagination. Being a wide-ranging musical, *Yuvvraaj*, starring Salman Khan [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=salman% 20khan ], Katrina Kaif [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=katrina% 20kaif ], Zayed Khan [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php? MT=zayed%20khan ] and Anil Kapoor [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=anil% 20kapoor ], like Ghai's *Taal [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=taal ]*, is every music-aficionado's delight. Here's why: Besides the CD layout, there's not much *Yuvvraaj *shares in common with * Taal*. The latter was deliberately theatrical and consisted folk- tune flavours. This one is marvelously smooth and meadow-fresh, conjuring lilting images of Prague and Austria, where it has been extensively filmed. At the same time, it packs in enough complex emotions of its own. The soundtrack opens with *Main hoon Yuvvraaj*, wherein Salman Khan spews hard-to-miss sarcasm, introducing himself as the proverbial 'bad boy' against the etched-in-every-memory Fifth of Beethoven (performed by The Chennai String Orchestra). He has a point to prove, a notion to dispel. And he does it, with spirit, beauty and Benny Dayal (of *Pappu can't dance saala *fame)'s striking vocals, through Gulzar's [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=gulzar ] wistful poetry and Rahman's inventive intricacy of* Tu meri dost hain*. [image: Katrina Kaif]The lingering rhythm of *Tu meri dost *is swapped for the zingy, retro, disco-friendly beats of *Shano Shano*. An animated line-up of singers, right from Sonu Nigam [Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=sonu% 20nigam ], Srinivas to Sunaina, Vivienna Pocha bring the house down in this club-meets-lounge ditty. Its remix by Krishna Chetan, featuring Ember, is a dry and darker rap-inclusive interpretation of the racy original. *Tu muskura* is a lyrical delight sending a wave of goose bumps across the enamoured listener. Gulzar's vivid wizardry pours its heart out through verse like, '*Sharir see yeh muskurahatein teri. Badan main sunti hoon main aahatein teri*.' Needless to say it takes Rahman's exquisite touch to cast these delicate words into the silhouette of his melodies. Sonu Nigam lends his characteristic velvetiness to the peppy hues of *Mastam mastam*, again overflowing with Gulzar's graphic thoughts (*Bheje mein bhochal hain, pairon mein paatal hain*). Effortlessly free-flowing, *Mastam*'s USP lies in its being entertaining and silvery, at once. [image: Anil Kapoor]Misty-eyed poignancy breathes effectively through the melancholic realisation of *Zindagi*. Rendered with excellent restraint and stirring sentiment by Srinivas, against Rahman's deft play of woodwinds and breezy strings, this is easily one of *Yuvvraj*'s best compositions. Piano, cello and other participants of a grand orchestra and powerful chorus create a vision of escalating drama of sibling bonding under Rahman's intense guidance and signature *alaap. Dil ka rishta *is his brand of symphony, generating a state of big-screen showmanship and mellifluous festivities. The vigorously classical notes of Manmohini morey, with a conspicuous stamp of Rahman's whiz-kid personality, are grippingly and flawlessly translated by Vijay Prakash. Ultimately, *Yuvvraaj *is a triumphant score from the maestro. For all its meticulous arrangement and old-world grandeur, it's essentially deep-rooted in timeless melody, which seldom disappoints.

[arr] Appreciation for Rahman's music always demands an open mind
...and a broad perspective and appreciation for different genres of music. Those who pan Rahman's music to me are automatically narrow minded. ARR and some of his colleagues are challenging the junta to look beyond typical romantic song ballads of yore. It's a musical paradigm shift, esp. up North, still in process and is bound to be met with resistance by the common man at times. Yuvvraaj is a perfect example of this paradigm shift, where new, nuanced, dynamic aspects of music are being brought forth in a Hindi industry typically dominated by lovey dovey surface songs and hard and heavy beats. I find individual Indians to be very narrow minded at times, while India as a whole is open to new sounds and influences. Shankar Ehsaan and Loy are also part of this musical paradigm shift with albums like Rock On, which demand a different type of ear. But, more than any other MD, I feel that Rahman's music is the most appreciated by all ages, from the youth to the elderly. Rahman's older music is appreciated more because it was new back then, novel sound, had more emphasis on rhythm and was more instantly catchy, but less nuanced, and is quite nostalgic from today's perspective. Judgement of older material is always confounded by nostalgia. Rahman continues to push the creative envelope, emboldening a visionary approach to music that should challenge pre- conceived, stereotyped notions of what is and is not good music. I appreciate that he is trying to uphold higher standards of music appreciation amongst music lovers and trying to broaden people's minds. He has done this from day 1.

[arr] A R Rahman Is the man !
Hi There have been musicians who have come and rendered music and taken listeners to a different level.But there has hardly been a musician in the Indian music scene who has altered the meaning of good pure music and after a point charted a new trajectory for listeners to grow with him or his music. With Yuvraaj Rahman confirms that he is the man ! The music of Yuvraaj is testimony to the fact that Rahman does not want listeners to stagnate at a particular level. So let us catch up. This soundtrack rocks ! Thanks, Sreenivas

[arr] Re: Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj - followed by idiotic comments
man you have to accept it. although it is growing on us and we have started liking more compared to the first time, but the fact remains that it is not something liked by the masses. only one song Tu meri dost would be liked by the masses but not the rest. even recent ARR albums had many songs loved by masses (and critics) e.g., Tere bina, Mayya mayya, Barso re (Guru), Pappu, Aditi, Kahin to (JTYJN) etc etc. Furthermore the fact remains that Yuvvraaj does not have even a single song which can be called just mibdblowing or plain awesome as per the ARR standards etc. comparing to Taal it still remains a HUGE disappointment, if not for us (ARR fans) certainly it is for masses. the weakest songs of Dil se, Taal or Bombay are still better than strongest song/s of Yuvvraaj. lets analyze it. Mastam mastam is good, it grows, melody is Rahmanish, Sonu is perfect, but again it is not something instantly loved by masses. Zindagi is again good but nothing exceptional. it heavily relies on vocals, too little music, no traditional ARR interludes etc. Man mohini is very good but alas too short, which is completely un- understandable, why did not ARR put a few more minutes to it??? strange. Dil ka risha is very good again, orchestra is great. it would be loved more than Zindagi, Mastam, Man mohini by masses. however it is a very situational song, not something you will find people humming or playing on streets etc. Shano shano is one of the weakest songs of ARR ever, people will not find anything special in it. it is not very different than dozens of Pritam and others' songs releasing every day. even Pappu (JTYJN) was far far far far far far better. so at the end the only song remains is Tu muskura which will be liked by the masses but again there is nothing very special in it. it is likable but not something blockbuster etc. it is in the league of recent Tu bin bataye (RDB) and Milo wahan wahan (Ada) though the two were far far better. just think of some of ARR's biggest hits and ask yourself honestly can we compare any of Yuvvraaj's songs with Satrangi, Dil se, Chaiyyan chaiyyan (Dil se) Taal se taal, ishq bina, ramta jogi (Taal), Kehna hi kya, Hamma hamma, Tu hi re (Bombay) and those from Rangeela, Saathiya, Lagaan, Roja, Sapnay etc etc or even recent lesser hits rang de basanti (RDB), khwaja mere khwaja, azeem-o-shaan (JA) etc and those from Guru etc. and you will get the answer. hence i am certainly not surprised by the reactions of masses. ARR here really disappointed, because of Ghai-ARR combo people were expecting something as fantastic as Taal, but there is no comparison between Taal and Yuvvraaj. at least if you ask me if i give 10/10 to Taal i will give only 4/10 to Yuvvraaj. ARR should have experimented in some other low profile album but certainly not in Yuvvraaj. also a film solely based on music certainly required some instantly classic music, like Taal. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Chord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Did anyone read the comments that followed the review?

This is what makes the Yuvvraaj album so special. Many have combined 1 and 2 well, 2 and 3, 4 and 5. But, rarely has anyone combined 5 with any other number other than 4 or at most 3, and that too in rudimentary ways. Rahman has used these styles in different combinations in different albums: Jodha Akbar is largely 1 and 2 with small 3 Jaane Tu is largely 5 with some 3 and small 2 Ada is mostly 2, some 3, some 5, some 4 There is almost always a 2 and 3 in each of Rahman's albums these days with heavy emphasis on 4 and 5 in his Tamil soundtracks of late.

[arr] First Impression
This is not really a review. It is just the first impression that that these songs have had on me. I am going to give them my stars anyway :) Yuvvraaj - A.R.Rahman and Gulzar have teamed up alright but that Jaane Tu Ya Janane Na spark is missing. Tu Meri Dost hai which has already hit the TV screens is undoubtedly the best track of the album. Salman Khan has managed to strangle Beethoven in one of the tracks but there are other tracks that sound good. The album surprisingly has 8 original tracks and just one remix. The first impressions are not mind blowing but I am hoping that it might start sounding good to ears once I get to watch Katrina in the videos :). Until then, they will all be any other ARR melodious numbers to me. I give it three stars out of five (***). http://varun-giridhara.blogspot.com/2008/10/first-impression.html -- regards, Vithur ARR in my Heart; His Music in my Blood;

Jahanzeb, I really understand your feelings ! Even everyone has expected more than 100% above than this end product I know you are a die hard fan of Rahman, but still what must we expect ? Rahman cant put a Chhaiyya Chaiyya or Ghagan Ghagan in Yuvraaj. Songs are strongly based on Script and related to Western musical raagas [ Though I dont know much about it ] *Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. *Can you just hum a tone Rahman has to compose in coming years ? Please dont take this an offensive mail. I am just curious... I just try to do so, but somehow or other, it will resemble to any other songs of Rahman or the other. No body is perfect. Rahman is also a human being. Errors can occur. But in rare case Rahman went wrong. So just relax, hear good music... If you really didnt like this, wait for another Rahman release or switch to any other Bollywood albums :) Movie Fashion has some really good music rendered by Salim Sulaiman. Anyhow, I strictly think that when it comes to picturization of all these longs, you would love more :) Have a great day ahead Dude :) On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 10:10 PM, Jahanzeb Farooq [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: man you have to accept it. although it is growing on us and we have started liking more compared to the first time, but the fact remains that it is not something liked by the masses. only one song Tu meri dost would be liked by the masses but not the rest. even recent ARR albums had many songs loved by masses (and critics) e.g., Tere bina, Mayya mayya, Barso re (Guru), Pappu, Aditi, Kahin to (JTYJN) etc etc. Furthermore the fact remains that Yuvvraaj does not have even a single song which can be called just mibdblowing or plain awesome as per the ARR standards etc. comparing to Taal it still remains a HUGE disappointment, if not for us (ARR fans) certainly it is for masses. the weakest songs of Dil se, Taal or Bombay are still better than strongest song/s of Yuvvraaj. lets analyze it.

[arr] [ Non - ARR ] How to Configure Rahman Yahoo Groups in your Gmail
Hello Guys, Rather than any other forums or communities, I really love this place where true fans really interact with each other. I introduce this fan clubs to many of my friends and they all used to complain that it is not user friendly to reply to each mails and read the follow ups. So if any of the members is having difficulty in doing the follow ups and replying to the emails, here is a good way to optimize the group in a user friendly manner. The steps to configure Yahoo groups in Gmail. 1. Please configure the A R Rahman fan group to your gmail address in the link www.arrahmanfans.com 2. If this is already being done, then it is fine. 3. Once Subscribed to the fan group all mails will be forwarded to your Gmail address. ie Posts and related follow ups. 4. Once the email arrives in you gmail inbox, open one of the emails. Then follow these steps. - Open an email of ARR Yahoo Group. - Besides Delete button, you will find More Actions - Click More Actions - Then click Filter Messages like these - Then Click Next Step - Tick the box Skip the inbox - Tick the box Apply the label - Click New Label - Type in the label name as A R Rahman or something you wish. - Also Tick Also apply filter to XX conversations below. - Then click Create Filter - Now a filter has been created and all email will be now moved to the Rahman Folder - Now you can manage and read the email posts in much a user friendly manner. Hope this helps, many our Fellow Rahmaniacs. If you already know this, please ignore this email :) Hail Rahman :) -- Farzad Khaleel Webmaster http://rahmaniac.co.nr

You can't dictate like this, buddy. although it is growing on us and we have started liking more compared to the first time, but the fact remains that it is not something liked by the masses. only one song Tu meri dost would be liked by the masses but not the rest. No way. Shano and Mastam are going to be on every youth's tongue, me think. even recent ARR albums had many songs loved by masses (and critics) e.g., Tere bina, Mayya mayya, Barso re (Guru), Pappu, Aditi, Kahin to (JTYJN) etc etc. Agreed. So? Furthermore the fact remains that Yuvvraaj does not have even a single song which can be called just mibdblowing or plain awesome as per the ARR standards etc. Hmm. I thought about it and I find that I have to agree with you. So, I also concede that even though Yuvraj is an album for the masses and it has good softer songs also (manmohini, zindagi), still, I have to agree that there is no mindblowing song AS PER ARR STANDARDS. I think that is the area where the freedom ARR gets makes the whole difference. Mani gives ARR complete freedom, so ARR's every Mani album has one or more mindblowing songs. Deepa mehta gives ARR complete freedom, so ARR's every Deepa album has one or more mindblowing songs. But, even though Ghai's inputs have done wonders in Taal and Yuvraj, those have restricted ARR from giving a mindblowing song in Yuvraj. But, I would not complain. ARR is operating in a commercial world, and Yuvraj is having all the potential of becoming the biggest commercial hit of ARR's career. That would help him. And it would help us fans also when we get ridiculed by ARR's detractors who never fail to highlight when Pritam or Himesh's songs top the chart. And, me think, that is what Ghai wanted - compromise on mindblowing song and give an outright commercial hit. And ARR/Ghai have succeeded like anything in this album. comparing to Taal it still remains a HUGE disappointment, if not for us (ARR fans) certainly it is for masses. Why are you so inclined on keeping us fans in a separate category apart from masses? Does it satisfy your ego that you are on a higher ivory tower as a fan compared to lowly, meanly, measly masses. It is not so. We are all humans, made equal by our Creator. This album is going to bring millions of new fans to ARR's fold. Masses will become ARR fans after listening to this album. You think that is going to dilute the superiority of ARR fans. I differ. the weakest songs of Dil se, Taal or Bombay are still better than strongest song/s of Yuvvraaj. That is going to personal taste now. I have written that I personally found Ishq bina a tad too sweet, sacharine sweet, for my liking. I didn't like any remix, and western in Taal. My find in that was Ni main samajh gayi, Nahin Samne, jangal mein koyal bole, taal se taal mila, etc. I am not able to compare Taal with Yuvraj. They are different genre of songs. And, for Dil Se and Bombay, or even Guru, or Yuva: well, Mani is Mani, yaar. Add, 1947 Earh, Water: Well, Deepa Mehta is Deepa Mehta. Ghai is different. The only album of ARR that I outright disliked is Love Bird. lets analyze it. Mastam mastam is good, it grows, melody is Rahmanish, Sonu is perfect, but again it is not something instantly loved by masses. here, you lost me. Mastam is the so cathy, yet soothing. It is going to be loved by masses. Zindagi is again good but nothing exceptional. it heavily relies on vocals, too little music, no traditional ARR interludes etc. So? It is a different song. It has its own style, its own ingredients. That is how ARR gave this song, and it is great in its existing form. If ARR has changed a single thing in it, that would have become a different song. too little music? Seems you have forgotten Khamosh Raat of Takshak that would hold the ARR's all time record for minimal music, me think. Man mohini is very good but alas too short, which is completely un- understandable, why did not ARR put a few more minutes to it??? Now, I would say your think line is irrational. ARR has capability to make Manmohini 2 hours song, but Ghai wouldn't put a 2 hours manmohini in his film. So why make it 2 hours? Ghai has taken a liking for pure classical for some time, for a change, for some reason. Kishna had Kaahe Ujadi Mori neend (ID), and he wanted a short piece having pure classical. That is what he got. strange. Dil ka risha is very good again, orchestra is great. it would be loved more than Zindagi, Mastam, Man mohini by masses. however it is a very situational song, not something you will find people humming or playing on streets etc. Exactly, and you should have left Mastam out of this logic. Mastam is what people can humm out all day. Shano shano is one of the weakest songs of ARR ever, people will not

[arr] [Semi-ARR] - ARR's influence
From a blog http://gordongartrelle.blogspot.com/2008/10/music-gang-gang-dance.html Its amazing how many people ARR has influenced over the past 2 decades and will continue to do so forever. Every now and then you see his name pop up on some random webpage citing his brilliance and exemplifying his stature as one of the greatest names in the realms of the musical world. Yet another example .this one *When asked which musicians influence their current sound both DeWitt and Bougatsos strike in agreement over Indian composer AR Rahman* -A Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Music: Gang Gang Dancehttp://gordongartrelle.blogspot.com/2008/10/music-gang-gang-dance.html http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/10/21/arts/gangspan.jpg GordonGartrelle super-favorites Gang Gang Dance were featured in the New York Times yesterday. Lizzi Bougatsos drops some knowledge about being in New York in the early 2000's and not feeling dudes on Ludlow in leather jackets letting the Strokes be the official New York reppers. Like Yeasayer's music with their brown guitar dude Anand Wilder (which is really his government, holy shit), Lizzi's vocals have always reminded me of Bollywood music. I wasn't sure if I was going crazy or if the melodies seem inherently Bollywood to me. I thought maybe I was being a race dude who wanted to take Indian credit for something that may have not been Brown at all. Thankfully I'm not insane as the article sheds light on Lizzi's appreciation of pygmy, Ethiopian and Bollywood music. Also, it points out that this ain't no Brooklyn band, they rep Manhattan. Upon further digging I found an article in from Drowned in Sound that sheds more light on their taste for BrOWnSOundZ, as I call it. *When asked which musicians influence their current sound both DeWitt and Bougatsos strike in agreement over Indian composer AR Rahman*. Rawwar unashamedly documents their applying a particular focus on a newfound pop sensibility, with Rahman amongst many other Bollywood influences applied, acting as a signal of intent but with each element of the quartet suitably splintering violently against one another. Sonically, the sounds are all over the place. There is a lot in there that inspires as a producer and relates to what we do. Bougatsos snaps her head with agreement: There is common cinematic quality between our sound. Hell yeah. Please cop Saint Dymphna as it's probably the most accessible their music has been and I dig it for that. Probably top 5 on my year.

I want to start working on a new project thats spaced out as shit, involves sampling Bollywood tunes to the point where it's not clear where the samples come from, singing sparsely in autotune only to be heavily delayed and not really singing at all, with some bassy ass drums.

Re: [arr] Re: Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj - followed by idiotic comments
I havent written a lot in this group but that doesnt mean i dont like Rahman. To me, he is the BEST THING EVER that happened to Indian Music. The first time i heard Yuvvraaj music, i felt that was a load of crap. But hey, thats what i felt when i heard Kaadhalan first. Same with Dil Se, or Taal. I cant remember one of Rahman's that i liked the first time. But Dil Se and Taal went on to become my all time favourites. He makes this wierd kind of music that grows on you then makes you go crazy over it. Thats one of the things that makes him a music director different from others. He doesnt bring out stereo type music lik Pritham does or stupid Himesh Reshamayya does. (God, im comparing Ferraris to Maruthi 800s. Pritam and Himesh should be proud that at least i said their name in the same breath as Rahman's). A good critique finds the strong points of a piece that he is critiquing. The main point my brother Jehanzeb missed out here is that, the music is different from what bollywood is churning out day in day out. It takes time for someone to get used to that music. That never means the music is bad. Your ears are atuned to mainstream Himesh, Pritam or whatever. They may give you short time ecstasy But Rahman brings that mystique to a song which makes you want to listen to it again when you havent actually liked it the first time. Then you listen it a second time and think Thats not bad after all. The third time you go I kinda like it. Then after a few time you go, Wow! thats wonderful. I have gone through that phase with every one of his compositions. So my point is even if Yuvvraaj ends up being Rahmans weakest ever, it is better than the rest out there...

Do you think the producers like ARRs divine feelings??..or they like his recording theater,or place where he lives or they liked him because he composed Roja, Dil se, Rangeela(hahaa). na na na..this aint joke!! they go to him because of the MASS, CURRENT MARKET not the 1996 popularity..and these cant be given only by Fans but a lot lot more people need to like the music. but here is the catch with ARR - The MASS you are talking about is the FANS. If ARR fans like it then it already reached the mass. be assured about it.If you dont like it guess what? I pity you. You are one of those small..tiny winy group who doesnt likes this.. sorry!! no Offense...you asked for it bro.!! dont glue your eyes and ears to your music system with Yuvvraaj playing..just relax yourslef.focus on your normal day to day life and have this song played in yoru car,living room when you have dinner..rom nowhere it hits you like a storm...!! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Jahanzeb Farooq jahanzebtippu@ wrote: man you have to accept it. although it is growing on us and we have started liking more compared to the first time, but the fact remains that it is not something liked by the masses. only one song Tu meri dost would be liked by the masses but not the rest. even recent ARR albums had many songs loved by masses (and critics) e.g., Tere bina, Mayya mayya, Barso re (Guru), Pappu, Aditi, Kahin to (JTYJN) etc etc. Furthermore the fact remains that Yuvvraaj does not have even a single song which can be called just mibdblowing or plain awesome as per the ARR standards etc. comparing to Taal it still remains a HUGE disappointment, if not for us (ARR fans) certainly it is for masses. the weakest songs of Dil se, Taal or Bombay are still better than strongest song/s of Yuvvraaj. lets analyze it. Mastam mastam is good, it grows, melody is Rahmanish, Sonu is perfect, but again it is not something instantly loved by masses. Zindagi is again good but nothing exceptional. it heavily relies on vocals, too little music, no traditional ARR interludes etc. Man mohini is very good but alas too short, which is completely un- understandable, why did not ARR put a few more minutes to it??? strange. Dil ka risha is very good again, orchestra is great. it would be loved more than Zindagi, Mastam, Man mohini by masses. however it is a very situational song, not something you will find people humming or playing on streets etc. Shano shano is one of the weakest songs of ARR ever, people will not find anything special in it. it is not very different than dozens of Pritam and others' songs releasing every day. even Pappu (JTYJN) was far far far far far far better. so at the end the only song remains is Tu muskura which will be liked by the masses but again there is nothing

[arr] Ghajini Music - Rhythm and Blues
Here's a reminder to everyone about the article giving us a glimpse into Ghajini's music. Look for influences such as soul, gospel, and funk. I hope Blaaze and rap is not included. I expect lots of bass guitar, synth, heavy beats with little or no ethnic percussion. http://rahmaniac.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/ghajini-music-of-rahman-a-little-bit-hatke/ If R and B is going to be in Ghajini, here's a bit of history and info on R and B if anyone is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues Seems like Rahman is really trying to stand out from the crowd and be different as much as possible. He's doing a good job at it!
[arr] Re: Shano shano my take on this great song
Totally agree! Guess what? This is the first song in the album that took me by storm. As you said, something very addictive, very seductive - you can't help shake a leg or twitch your body to those steps...MAN, what a song... and the rap version is astounding too! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Arijit Debnath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shano shano is getting critised everday in this forum ok I am taking this in a positive way thinking that Rahman may compose same genre song with more vibrant wayinstead of discarding these kind of rhythmic scores. But I thing this is one of the greatest song which will create great history It has got some strange tune built inside which is compelling to go to floor every time...same reaction I got in the song Maramkothiye from Ah Aha... Shano Shano is taking me in trance while the female voice is rendering a beatiful tune. I heard the same kind of critisism for Rukmani Rukmani, Humba Humba, to some extent Chaiyan Chaiyan (voice doesn'r suit Sahrukh etc), and more recently Pappu and Taxiall these songs proved Rahman's capability to get everyone on the dance floor all these tunes has something strange in them...one can't sit idle listening to these songs I believe if that is not the case I'm insane Arijit

Why ARR is mostly criticised in South India.? Please address my queries ASAP as I do not know what's happening down south..is it the same situation always when ARR's new music launches?
