I think I can explain how everyone came up with the same word. They
simply copied from the first guy :) You know how it works Chord, don't

Re: [arr] Re: (non arr) Some song recommendations

[Vinayakam Murugan]

I beg to differ about DevD's lyrics. I thought they were deep except the
emotional atyachar song. It was just that it was packaged in a different
style. Anyways, that's a seperate discussion that need not conducted under
the auspices of this forum

Re: [arr] god rocks in tamil the most

[Srini]

Yeah, even I don't like it.

Also, I think more than the language, it's the team that matters more.

That's why most fans have equal expectation for a Tamil or Chinese
album, but the expectation is greater when it comes to a Maniratnam or
Ashutosh G movie - it's the chemistry, the presentation and importance
they give to the music in their movies that make them extra special
for the fans.

Cheers,
Srini

Re: [arr] need ar to do a horror flick soon!!!

[Srini]

I strongly agree. Horror / thriller movies depend heavily on the
background score and I wish to see Rahman sir bring in a fresh scare..
I mean air into this genre.

But then we shouldn't be expecting 7 songs in a Thriller movie. Just BGM.

  I've checked various VTV reviews abound, and not all reviews are full 
throttle positive, which is fine.  People are entitled to their own opinions.  
But, one word that I'm seeing being thrown around by some on the web to 
describe some of the music on VTV is "amateurish" .   



Am I missing something?  The music of VTV to me is very mature, thorough, 
thoughtful, deep, intricate, purposeful, and very crafty.  I don't know based 
on what type of perception that some people are coming up with the word 
"amateurish. "  If it was just one person who used this word, I wouldn't care 
to mention it and wouldn't care in general, but it's a word used by several 
(won't mention names or websites to avoid off topic discussions) .  Someone

Exactly my thoughts. Horror and a cop story like vettaiyadu vilayadu, kaakka 
kaakka are the genres yet to be explored by ARR. Hope GM tries the 2nd genre

And I am sure the person who writ these are
1. Either paid to

3. Or they are musically challenged
4. Or they just want to differ

Imagine how they would have treated SDM music if it was an Indian

Although despite Oscar some musicians did treat it as amature work...  
And they just want to differ... Any press is good press for these folks.

One of my favorite portions of the concert (wish I was there in person), was

"Udhaya Udhaya"  The Antara of "Tu Hi Re" and the whole song of "Udhaya Udhaya"

Re: [arr] Re: omana penne - piece of crafted art

Omana Penne is fitted with ar rahman's soul..The intro is amazing little bit of 
east music in it. Sometimes we can hear this tunes played by the tribes in East 
Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) during their festive / harvesting months..wat a

[arr] Rahman's song NaNa shortlisted for Oscar nomination

[A.R.Rajib]

   Rahman's song NaNa shortlisted for Oscar nomination
   [image: AR Rahman]
Rahman is a composer with a staggering range

*Indian composer AR Rahman has been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination for
his Tamil song NaNa from the Hollywood film, Couples Retreat.*

The song is vying with 62 others for the nominations which will be revealed
on 2 February.

Rahman won two Oscars, a Bafta and a Golden Globe last year for his
soundtrack to the multi award-winning film, Slumdog Millionaire.

The composer is often called the Mozart of India.

*'Really touched'*

Couples Retreat is a comedy film directed by Peter Billingsley and Rahman
says it is his "first mainstream Hollywood movie".

"Normally a person who picks up double Oscars, doesn't pick up a comedy
movie. But I thought it would be less pressure to pick up a comedy film,"
Rahman told a press conference.

"The makers of the movie [actor] Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley
[director] came to me before I had won any of the awards and said they were
moved by my music and it will be an honour to have my music so I felt really
touched and accepted the movie."

The film stars Vince Vaughn and is about five couples who land up in an
island resort.

"It's a comedy and the music is kept very low. And they used the song as the
background score," Rahman said.

"The good news is that the song NaNa has been shortlisted for the Academy
awards. I don't know whether it will make it, because we didn't go for
promoting it; but that's a good sign."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8469758.stm


See .. Even BBC saying NaNa is a Tamil Song ... Do we have problem in our
ears ???

I share that opinion. Seems that is why I have not included him yet in 
the list of my favs.

Comedy songs also become hit, technically amazing songs also become 
hit, but what makes a composer beloved of the listeners is thru songs 
that touch the heart of the listeners.

Bringing this thread back to ARR, there was a time when people had 
started saying "ALL ARR SONGS SOUNDS ALIKE." Of course, those 
listeners had not given enough time for these songs to grow on them to 
understand the difference, but, let's remember that listener is the 
king and the end judge. So, when the Latka Jhatka, maya machindra 
telephone pole Hindi lyrics of Hindustani combined with a music that 
has technical wizardry more than it had melody, listeners didn't feel 
like exploring it at all and rejected that. Since those days, ARR has 
improvised in many ways so that no one now says any bad thing about 
ARR's music.

I think Amit trivedi also has to improvised in similar way. Dev D's 
music was more a comedy. It is not a drawback of Amit, it is just that 
the movie needed such type of music and he has given that. He may be 
having capability to give melodious heart touching songs, but, that is 
yet to be shown. Gulal is an example where compositions were melodious 
heart touching, kudos to Piyush. Amit Trivedi has to do films having 
this genre of music to get taken seriously. currently he is and MD for 
the hip-hop-pop generation.

Delhi-6 is featured on the store in the New and Noteworthy film section and
is available at $9.99 for download-to-own.



The music of Delhi-6 has been composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by
Prasoon Joshi.



UTV Motion Pictures USA VP Lokesh Dhar said, “Entertainment is witnessing a
surge of consumption in the online space therefore more and more fans are
surfing, looking for movie related content on the internet. Hence, launching
Delhi-6, the complete film, on iTunes was a perfect fit as not only does the
film appeal to all alike, but is another step in UTV’s endeavor to set
trends and not follow them. We are extremely proud that Delhi-6 is the first
Indian film on iTunes.”



Delhi-6 was released in theatres worldwide on 20 February, 2009. Delhi-6 has
been screened at the 66th Venice Film Festival, Bangkok International Film
Festival, and 29th Annual Hawaii International Film Festival, among others.

[arr] I'm very confused about something.....

[ichord]

I've checked various VTV reviews abound, and not all reviews are full throttle 
positive, which is fine.  People are entitled to their own opinions.  But, one 
word that I'm seeing being thrown around by some on the web to describe some of 
the music on VTV is "amateurish".   

Am I missing something?  The music of VTV to me is very mature, thorough, 
thoughtful, deep, intricate, purposeful, and very crafty.  I don't know based 
on what type of perception that some people are coming up with the word 
"amateurish."  If it was just one person who used this word, I wouldn't care to 
mention it and wouldn't care in general, but it's a word used by several (won't 
mention names or websites to avoid off topic discussions).  Someone just 
recently described the music of "Hosanna" as amateurish.  Huh?  

Can anyone throw some light onto this? Does anyone else feel this way?  If you 
do, that's fine, I would just like to know why you think so.

Many, many, many many thanks to those here (like Srini) who to took the time to

One of my favorite portions of the concert (wish I was there in person), was 
during the transition between the Antara of "Tu Hi Re" to the beginning of 
"Udhaya Udhaya"  The Antara of "Tu Hi Re" and the whole song of "Udhaya Udhaya" 
share raaga Charukeshi and the transition was just magical for metotally

"Udhaya Udhaya" is one of my all time favorite ARR songs and I'm so glad it was

Can Gopal or the regulars on the group fish out information as to when was the 
FIRST BGM uploaded using the Yahoo group ?

I found a message number 5221 sent by Kailairajan Kailasanathan on November 30, 
1999 informing uploading Mudhalvan BGM on ARR FTP...

In that case let's celebrate ( belated ) 10 years of BGM extraction through 
this group in which so many have contributed, Such as Wassim (Kaissom), AJ, 
Vithur, Aravind, Prathap and many such Rahmaniacs ( please excuse me as I know 
I have missed many names ) 

We must thank all of them for unwrapping a priceless treasure of Rahman's 
music. Dear BGM team, Thank you !

I think I have all BGMs collected through this group and listening to these 
BGMs gives a rare insight into the movie and ARR's ability to make the scene a 
memorable one. And they do make a unique mobile phone ring tone !

THE BEST BGM according to me > SWADES !

[arr] Aaromale is far, far ahead as fav VT V song!!!

[ichord]

Looks like we have a winner in Aaromale as fav VTV song as the othere are not 
even close to its number of votes.  Second most voted so far is Mannipaya, 
followed by Omanna, Anbil Avan, then Hosanna.  Surprised that Hosanna is 3rd 
lowest so far, given it was the lead song of all the promos and probably will 
be the most commercially successful.  Goes to show how strong this album is 
with every song being picked as a favorite!  Still time to vote if you haven't 
yet.

[arr] Visual effect

[raamkumar vaidyanathan]

Music has a visual element in it. And, Oscar winner A R Rahman is trying his 
best to make sure that his songs get good visual treatment in the movies he 
works in. “I’m very concerned about the visual treatment,” disclosed Rahman, 
releasing the soundtrack of Couples Retreat, “My fans get very agitated when my 
work gets wasted. I get angry e-mails asking me why I worked on films that 
don’t utilise my songs properly. I’m actually cool with it, but my fans 
aren’t!” 

Rahman described the experience of working on his first mainstream Hollywood 
film as “fantastic”. “I enjoyed doing Couples Retreat because of the freedom I 
got,” he said, “Also, the budget - in terms of orchestra — was flexible so that 
I could get exactly what I wanted, musically.” The Mozart of Madras also had to 
slightly change his work timings to ensure that work finished on time. “I 
worked on weekends too,” he said with a smile, “That was funny!” 

Later, talking exclusively to CT, Rahman stressed that he did not want exotic 
names when he was composing music for Gautham Menon’s Vinnaithaandi 
Varuvaaya. “I particularly did not want to use new singers just for the sake of 
it,” he said, “I wanted the local bunch of singers to go to the next level, and 
that’s why I used most of them in this album. Of course, Alphonse — who sang 
the Malayalam song — was an exception.”

  The 
song Aaromale in Vinnaithandi 
Varuvaayaa 
has gained immense popularity 
already 
and has been topping the charts. 
Due 
to this, the film's director 
Gautham 
Menon has decided to shoot the song 
with the lead pair - Silambarasan 
and Trisha.



With the director deciding on 
filming 
the song, Trisha has given a call 
sheet to facilitate an early 
release 
of the film. VTV is slated for a 
February 
release and with this song the 
shooting 
schedule is expected to come to an 

end.http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jan-10-03/gautham-menon-vinnaithandi-varuvaayaa-20-01-10.html

I assume most here have seen the videos of the Sydney concert, right?  It not, 
please do check out the whole concert here:  

http://www.youtube.com/user/4topcats#p/u/21/HoFokPHlGBM

Many, many, many many thanks to those here (like Srini) who to took the time to 
upload the videos, direct us to links, etc.  

One of my favorite portions of the concert (wish I was there in person), was 
during the transition between the Antara of "Tu Hi Re" to the beginning of 
"Udhaya Udhaya"  The Antara of "Tu Hi Re" and the whole song of "Udhaya Udhaya" 
share raaga Charukeshi and the transition was just magical for metotally 
taking me by surprise, and the way Sadhana Sargam entered was just awesome.  

"Udhaya Udhaya" is one of my all time favorite ARR songs and I'm so glad it was 
in the concert, even briefly

[arr] Re: VTV in UK ?

[dreamworks80]

I used to buy all Tamil/Hindi CDs from Southall when I used to live in London. 
But now buy it online. VTV is already available on iTunes UK as well as Amazon:

[arr] Re: Enthiran music in April

[sriramvr_in]

these sources just want to use rajini's name to gain revenue/publicity. they 
are devoid of any actual news. almost every source is like that when it comes 
to rajini. the date of release is July and has come from horse's mouth. 
this bogus news needs to be trashed.

Re: [arr] Re: (non arr) Some song recommendations

[vedavid manick]

Rahman is gold standard. And I will compare anybody who wants to make it with 
the Gold Standard. So i would make no apologies in saying that Amit Trivedi has 
the potential to be the Rahman of the future. 
This endorsement does not take away from Rahman's worth, it adds to 
it...everyone aspires to be like or better than him.

[arr] 10 years of BGMs on Yahoo group ?

[DineshVaidya]

Can Gopal or the regulars on the group fish out information as to when was the 
FIRST BGM uploaded using the Yahoo group ?

I found a message number 5221 sent by Kailairajan Kailasanathan on November 30, 
1999 informing uploading Mudhalvan BGM on ARR FTP...

In that case let's celebrate ( belated ) 10 years of BGM extraction through 
this group in which so many have contributed, Such as Wassim (Kaissom), AJ, 
Vithur, Aravind, Prathap and many such Rahmaniacs ( please excuse me as I know 
I have missed many names ) 

We must thank all of them for unwrapping a priceless treasure of Rahman's 
music. Dear BGM team, Thank you !

I think I have all BGMs collected through this group and listening to these 
BGMs gives a rare insight into the movie and ARR's ability to make the scene a 
memorable one. And they do make a unique mobile phone ring tone !

THE BEST BGM according to me > SWADES ! 

Best regards

[arr] omana penne - piece of crafted art

[sunanthvn_1986]

at first when i heard omana penne, i instantly liked it since it has a simple 
tune.but then after repeated hearings, i can't get out of loop.The flow of the 
song and the instrumentations is masterly crafted.
The simple tune gets intense from about 2:00 and then at 2:09 it changes its 
mood, then the malayalam bit,everything goes well.
at the end the nadaswaram was a treat.the highlight moment of the nadaswaram 
bit was at 4:39.I was blown away by the abrupt transition.
wow... what a song..

[arr] Re: (non arr) Some song recommendations

[ichord]

I am aware of him being an ARR fan, and yes, I hear many out there comparing 
him to ARR, not nec in this group, but others I see online.  Once again, I'm 
not against Amit Trivedi at all and wish him only success.

[arr] 2010: KOLLYWOOD’S YEAR AHEAD-AR Rahman's Ye ar

[Gobi Kanadasan]

2010: 
  KOLLYWOOD’S YEAR AHEAD


 
  


 
   
  The time has come to look 
ahead. 
  2010 has set in and brings 
with 
  it a whole lot of 
expectations 
  and hopes. What else will we 
  be looking forward to other 
  than the biggest movies of 
the 
  year and other events that 
relate 
  to cinema? Sports buffs will 
  be over the moon this year as 
  there are many top notch 
international 
  events waiting for them 
including 
  the T20 World Cup, the IPL, 
  the FIFA World Cup, the 
Hockey 
  World Cup, the Commonwealth 
  Games and other regular 
events 
  of the calendar year. Add to 
  that the excitement that is 
  brought about by the return 
  of Michael Schumacher to F1 
  racing. We can promise Tamil 
  cine buffs that 2010 is going 
  to be no less exciting for 
you.

  

  Yes, Pongal was not the usual 
  star studded affair in spite 
  of some very interesting 
releases. 
  But, the star march starts in 
  early February with Ajith 
appearing 
  in Asal, his 49th movie. But, 
  2010 will not be about the 
49th 
  movie, it will be about the 
  half century of two of the 
biggest, 
  young (relatively) stars of 
  Kollywood. It is going to be 
  50 for both Vijay and Ajith. 
  While Vijay is on his way 
with 
  the shooting for Sura 
progressing 
  fast, Ajith is yet to 
finalize 
  his plans though there are 
pretty 
  strong indications that it 
might 
  be Gautham Menon who gets his 
  dates. Sura is definitely a 
  2010 offering though the date 
  has not yet been announced 
and 
  Ajith’s 50th too is expected 
  to be ready before 2011 
begins.

  

  Just imagine, what have been 
  said above are the relatively 
  smaller things as compared to 
  the real big draws of 2010.

find tough to carry on. Ismail Darbar, Monty Sharma, Mithoon are few good 
examples..

Re: [arr] A R Rahman - Very *** Music Composer!!

[Yogesh Korde]

Putting such subject line should not be preferred.
We all love AR and his music but overall Hindi film industry music
has been always on better plane.
We had great MDs like Naushad,SD Burman,Salil Chaudhary,Khayyam,Madan Mohan
OP Nayyar and Shankar-Jaikishan.
All of them have tried to provide their best.
When you have great film makers,great lyricists and great singers along with 
great MDs the era is sure to be called as 'Golden Era'

But AR is person who has given altogether new dimension to music and is 
considered among 'Best'.We are fortunate to born in Rahman's Era.
Definately AR is on top of our list [and will be]..but we should always listen
to other good MDs as well because Music is not confined to any single artist.

[arr] A R Rahman arrives in Muscat for Jai Ho concert

[Srini]

http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/music/a-r-rahman-arrives-in-muscat-for-jai-ho-concert-1.570325

Double Oscar-winner A. R. Rahman arrived in Muscat Tuesday with his
troupe of 90 musicians and performers for the Oman leg of his Jai Ho
world tour.
Muscat is the only city in the Middle East where Rahman will perform
when he takes to the stage Thursday at the 15,000-capacity Royal Oman
Police Stadium in Wattayeh district of Muscat.
“There has been very encouraging demand for the tickets and we are
expecting a full house although some tickets are available, especially
for the residents of UAE and the other GCC states,” Dr Sathish Nambiar
of Eventful told Gulf News.
The concert is organised in Muscat by Eventful and Ovation. The
tickets are priced at 100 riyals, 50 riyals, 25 riyals and 10 riyals
and can be booked online at boxofficeme.com
Rahman, a much-sought after film music composer, won two Oscars for
his music score for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. He is due to attend a
dinner tonight at the Al Nahda Resort with 500 guests, who have paid
200 Omani riyals for for a special seating at the stadium.
“He flew in straight to Muscat after performing at Sydney,” Nambiar said.
All the original singers who performed on the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’
soundtrack arrived with Rahman for the concert along with the other
big names like Hari Haran, Sadhan Sargam and drummer-par-excellence
Shiv Mani.

Enthiran music in April

IndiaGlitz
 [Wednesday, January 20, 2010]















As the D- day is nearing we have more on Endhiran
coming out. Now it is about the theme music. AR Rahman who is working
on Endhiran songs from London has completed the theme music first at
the behest of director Shankar. The theme music comes where ever the
Robot Rajni appears. Shankar will plan and film the visual sequences
based on the music. The story boards for the sequences are being
readied at a frantic pace by the team of Shankar.
Apart from its music Endhiran is also is special for
its choreography by Prabhu Deva, lyrics by Vairamuthu, art direction by
Sabu Cyril and cinematography by Ratnavelu. Another specialty will be
the exclusive sound effects crafted by the Oscar winner Resul Pookutty.
Pookutty creates the unique metallic sound effects for the Robot
charcter.
Other than the Endhiran team there is one more
person who very closely following Endhiran developments right from its
scratch. That is the chief minister M. Karunanidhi. He had already
enquired about the release date to Rajnikanth many times.
With plans perfect Shankar has allotted six months
only for the graphics, animation and other special effects. So the
release may be pushed little further than previously expected. Our
sources tell us the music will rock in April and the film is a Diwali
pleasure.
