[arr] Re: Cinefundas churns out a 'fitting' article on ARRs CWG - Sane!

[Sriram Iyer]

I think you completely missed the point. People have criticized AR earlier and 
would still do so in the future. My only point was that it'd be only fair if 
the criticisms were constructed and not just because of an ego-issue. I still 
remember when AR had won the Oscars and some Hindi news channel asked Aadesh 
Srivastava for a byte, he had said 'Jai Ho' were his words and that he used to 
mutter it all the time and that he had composed many songs which were better 
than Jai Ho. Rather than congratulating AR, he went on a baseless spree of 
kiddish behaviour. The same went with Bappi Lahiri who compared the song to his 
'Ramba Ho' song.

Lots of people critique AR, hell, we, fans do it more than anyone. But to say 
something totally irrelevant is another thing. Aadesh says AR must have made 5 
different versions of the song. On some news channel, he said, Senior 
musicians- the classical ones should have been approached to do the CWG Theme. 
These are not criticisms, they are just ego- talk.

If he had said, AR should have not sung, like how many others have opined. It 
would still have made some sense, but this guy doesn't make much sense.

Yes. how does backlashing him serve the purpose? why cant we just ignore
him. I mean telling shakira ripped waka waka from an old african tribal song
makes us look like losers.
here is something for you to ponder. The na nare na nare from barso re is
ditto as rang dini rang dini composed by Adesh Srivastav :)

[arr] Re: Another "bull" JHS tracklist?

[Sriram Iyer]

Yes, this could be it. Who knows Gopal must have updated it with the real ones. 
;)

'Call me Dil' was also the suggested name of the movie's title. So that is 
believable too.

The two protagonists are one the phone and get to know each other through the 
phone, so I guess 'Hello Hello' also could be true.

This is best article I have read on the CWG Theme fiasco. Very well written.

Especially the Aadesh Srivastava comment -that dude has not many ANY song of 
noteworthy quality. Ask anyone to name an Aadesh Srivatsava and he'd give you a 
blank stare. Oh worse, he must not have not even heard of him.

Constructive criticism was what was needed. Unfortunately, in a country like

[arr] 2011 OSCAR watch

[Sriram S]

 
http://reallyobsessedwithfilm.blogspot.com/2010/09/oscar-watch-pt-i-ish.html
 

127 Hours 

Directed by Danny Boyle

Starring James Franco

Why It’ll Win: Award show charisma. A combo of Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and 
up-and-coming, superstar James Franco should rake in the Oscar recognition. The 
story follows the moments of Aron Ralston’s life when he was trapped by a 
fallen boulder. The next five days of Ralston’s isolation lead him to look 
closer at his life. He eventually has to choose between his life, or losing a 
piece of him. Literally. Psychological, brooding character studies are usually 
go-to Oscar films to look for, and that is exactly what Boyle’s film, 127 
Hours, depicts. 

Why It’ll Fizzle: Early reports have it as a “very British film” and cliches 
galore (“happiness is better when it’s shared, hedonism is bad, etc.) could 
hinder its Oscar mojo. And it’s not like outdoorsy-type films do well at award 
shows, such as Into the Wild. However, 127 Hours seems like a pretty solid 
contender

[arr] Ustad Autoxerox’s Aria

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Ustad Autoxerox’s Aria
Perhaps it’s apt that Rahman sold the scam-tainted CWG a lemon
SADANAND 
MENON
PRINT 
SHARE
COMMENTS 

Anthems are devised to make your spirit soar. When they crashland, they can
also leave you sore. For some time now, A.R. Rahman has been on song. This
time the song is on him. His anthem *‘Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeeto*’ takes all
of four minutes and 16 seconds to expose you to the perils of skydiving
without a parachute. But then, this is the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth
Games and, like many other things connected with this year’s CWG, it happens
to be just another kind of cruel sport.

The idea of an anthem for sporting events is, it could be argued, to
foreground a consistent theme as a focal point of the event and to unify the
audiences with the adhesive of a familiar, infectious rhythm. In the present
context of a CWG mired in debilitating controversy and hint of sleaze, a
rousing anthem could have been the talisman to unlock some positive energy.

But the present offering of India’s own Mozart, which was launched with much
fanfare on August 23, has left even the Group of Ministers unhappy. That
must be the ultimate ignominy for a composer—that aesthetic cynicism of such
crass proportions can even affect the GoM, although one suspects it was not
so much the notations on the music sheet but those on the bill that did the
damage.

Even as Oscar hero Rahman was concatenating, at super-speed, his CWG jingle
that jangles with some of the most pedestrian verses in recent times, he
also fed in the punchy figure of some Rs 1.37 crore per minute of the song.
Total: Rs 5.50 crore. In 2006, for the inaugural functions of the Frankfurt
Book Fair, at which India was the ‘Guest of Honour Country’, a proposal by
music composer Ilaiyaraja to present a Carnatic raga using a 120-piece
Western philharmonic orchestra was summarily rejected because of the price
tag of Rs 95 lakh. But times have changed.

The funny thing about Rahman’s *Swagatham* number this time is that, after
its recitative first part, with lines as stiff and strangulating as ‘*Junoon
se, kanoon se, maidaan maar lo*’, the second performative segment breaks
into a beat that sounds like a rip-off of his own composition ‘*Ramta Jogi*’
in the film *Taal*. Obviously, Rahman is now famous enough to plagiarise
himself and even charge us for it. But the obvious question that needs to be
asked is: why did he even try? Why did he not simply offer back the
same ‘*Ramta
Jogi*’ as the anthem for the CWG? The song has all the right foot-tapping
ingredients, including oblique references to playful charlatans that would
have blended well with the CWG.

Of course, Rahman’s anthem cannot be disconnected with the overall plan for
inaugural and closing ceremonies of the CWG. The fancy committee for the
inaugural events has for a few months now been grappling with the logistics
of how to present India in this highly televised event. It is a committee in
search of a spectacle. The spectacle of a fake, make-believe India populated
with Bollywood dancers and swirling silks, crooning divas and simpering
starlets. The last time around, they were thinking of making a
sound-and-light show using the sacred ‘Om’.

It is an India that has no specific location on this planet and is far
removed from not just the lives, but even the fantasies, of its own people.
This is an India that is the pet project of its numerous, prospering robber
barons, who are enabled, time and again, to whisk away some more resources,
all in the name of an abstract nation.

That the vulgar Rs 380 crore budget for the opening ceremonies could not set
aside a few crores for a group of poets in different languages to writ

By Stephen Farber – 30 mins ago

TELLURIDE, Colo. (Hollywood Reporter) – Two years ago, Danny Boyle held the
first public screening of "Slumdog Millionaire" at the Telluride Film
Festival. The rest, as they say, is history.

Boyle was determined to complete his new film, "127 Hours," in time for this
year's Labor Day holiday weekend event, and it premiered to loud ovations --
and a few squeals of terror.

Boyle knew he had a narrow window of opportunity to take advantage of the
worldwide success of "Slumdog," and he decided to tackle a risky piece of
material, inspired by Aron Ralston's ordeal when he was trapped in a narrow
canyon in 2003.

This Fox Searchlight film has disturbingly graphic images, and it presents
another challenge for audiences in that for most of the movie, we are
confined in the canyon with just one actor, the remarkable James Franco. But
Boyle is such a gifted director that he overcomes the obstacles and might
even match the commercial success of his earlier Oscar winner.

Boyle assembled many of the people who worked with him on "Slumdog"
including screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, producer Christian Colson, composer
A.R. Rahman and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (who shares credit with
Enrique Chediak). Maybe it's the comfort of the collaboration that helps
account for the apparent effortlessness of the filmmaking.

The film opens with a bang, with lots of split-screen effects and speeded-up
digital images, as Aron heads off for a trip through Canyonland National
Park in Utah. Boyle has demonstrated visual razzle dazzle and kinetic
editing since his early films, "Shallow Grave" and "Trainspotting." Here the
style is meant to mirror the energetic personality of the protagonist, an
adrenaline junkie who savors adventure and shares his infectious enthusiasm
with anyone he meets.

[arr] ARR's music can impact so much with so little.........

[AJ]

In another post, Ramesh R was talking about a concept called "minimalism" in 
music...using few instruments and sounds to achieve a certain emotional and 
ambiant impact that is very powerful.  ARR has somewhat gotten away from 
minimalistic stuff over the years, but it's still present now and then.

One example, which I provided in my review, was the VTV title song.

Another more powerful example is the first 1 minute of Behene De from Raavan.  
All we hear are some soft tribal drums, chimes, string accents, and some 
vibes...which culminate into this amazingly haunting chord around the 46 second 
mark that completely sweeps my senses and puts me in a trance before Karthik 
comes in.  That one minutejust the intro..is one of the most haunting 
interludes by ARR in recent times and I sure wish he'd do more of that kind of 
music.  

Look at the segmentso little is happeningno acrobatics...the music 
breathes so easily, and yetit creates that magicthat feelingthat 
ARR feeling..  It makes you feel like you're floating..a levitation kind of 
feeling.  Many times when I hear ARR's music at certain points, I feel that 
I've dropped one hundred pounds and feel very light and almost about to 
levitate, esp. during trance like moods.  This is the feeling and mood that ARR 
can induce, if you're open minded enough to experience it.  And this is one key 
reason we love ARR so much.the feelingthe feelingthe feeling

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[Arijit Debnath]

because he is not aware how to apply for visa in proper time and get it...
further more he is bad mouthing ARRahman.
In a Bengali show "Ke Hobe Biggest Fan?" (who will be the biggest fan?).. he
conveyed something like below:

*He doesn't have any regrets for not being at oscars...but his
only regret is that at Oscars in background his voice was playing but two
ladies were doing lip syncing. that's a shame.*

See how baseless allegation he put against Rahman.

[arr] ARR on Mani's recent honour

[arr] Cinefundas churns out a 'fitting' article on ARRs CWG - Sane!

[Thulasi Ram]

 Seeking honor by dishonoring the musical legend
Published on Sep 6 2010

Creative
pieces of works are always open to criticisms. But certain fame-mongers try
grabbing public cynosures with their cheap publicities. Needless to mention,
A.R. Rahman’s theme song for Commonwealth Games 2010 Khelo Jeeyo, Hey-O,
Let’s Go has gained more publicity for gimcracks. To put it in right terms,
the goosey feedbacks by few jugheads have got their names published in
newspapers and media channels. Of course, it’s all they wanted – make
unsound judgments and seek the fame.

Starting off with BJP Leader and Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee
Executive Board Member V.K. Malhotra, his statements pertaining to the theme
song is completely rubbish. He has uttered that theme songs completely lack
soul and this wasn’t something they expected from A.R. Rahman, who churned
out some of the evergreen songs like ‘Maa Tuje Salaam’.

If V.K. Malhotra wanted same-fangled song, he could have better recorded
this song’s lyrics with same tune of ‘Vande Mataram’. Will that make sense?
So are his reasoning abilities.

A.R. Rahman holds special mention for redefining the New Line of Indian
Music at global standards. Even his earliest works delivered in 90s holds
great prominence in World famous charts of Billboard. He holds great mention
for accomplishing with Next-Gen music from time to time.

And about V.K. Malhotra commenting a hefty fee 0f 5.5 Crores reveals of his
gaudy gesture. For Rahman, it’s not about money, but a great passion for the
work he does. If money was interesting him, he wouldn’t have refused more
than dozen of Hollywood and international offers in the past one year that
could have doubtlessly spanned him bigger sum.

Rahman’s songs cannot be judged at the first time. It’s because of his
detailing factors he adds to his each number.  Say for instance, the CWG
2010 theme song has such innumerable panoramas emblazoning the simple
lyrics. It starts off on metal guitars with Santoor and Sitar played on
fastest notes. Studded with a wonderful synchronized chorus, the song ends
on a different octave with fiestas of Bhangra.

Rahman has reached a level of far behind criticisms and such amateurish
claims wouldn’t affect him.

Playback Singer Ila Arun has openly admitted – it’s obvious that Rahman’s
showpieces are bounded to mixed responses in the initial stages, but rightly
reaches its epitome of success as the time grows in. It was all illustrious
with his ‘Jai Ho’ song in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ that didn’t gain publicity
during the time of music release, but later stunned the whole world. Even a
year after ‘Oscar’ and ‘Grammy’ triumphs, the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ stands
out at Top 10, in almost all the countries.

Thanks to Bollywood music director Pritham, who make a distinct statement
saying, “It’s not just about the song, Rahman’s Super Brand will turn entire
globe not alone towards the song, but on the complete event of CWG 2010 as
well.

If music director Aadesh Shrivastava cannot understand the lyrics and music
of CWG 2010, it’s just revealing that he hasn’t been wizardry in musical
phase. In his statement, he has commented insisting A.R. Rahman to score 5
different versions of the same song. This poor musician has traveled a long
journey of more than a decade in Bollywood and hasn’t been able to captivate
the music lovers with his tunes. Starting from ‘KHATRA’ in 1991 till his
recent release, none of the songs have been acclaimed at least as an average
fare.

What is the point in comparing this song with FIFA Songs of Shakira’s ‘Waka
Waka’ and Ricky Martin’s ‘The Cup of Life’. Well for those, who commented on
music and lyrics, would they be able to easily grasp the lyrics of ‘Waka
Waka’ and ‘Cup of Life’.

Music breaks the barrier of language and nativity and it’s an universal
feel. Or else our own Tamil albums wouldn’t be holding such important places
across the World.

If at all, Shakira and Ricky Martin were the best ones to compose theme song
for ‘CWG 2010 Theme Song’, Mr. V.K. Malhotra could have signed them for
same-patterned song.

Mark our words! A.R. Rahman’s ‘CWG 2010 Theme Song’ will undoubtedly carry
its success across the globe and no such unwanted buzzes would trivialize
its prodigiously surpassing fame.

You hit it right on.  I LOVE the samples you provided..God if only ARR could do

 ARR probably knows his music.  

Ah, yesminimalism in musicsomething less frequent in ARR's music these

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[RAMESH b.j KRISHNAN]

Well Said! 

I too had the same thought as you expressed in these below lines.

But the situation with CWG is totally unclear. Some wanted the song to 
have an English version, some wanted a more Indianized tune. Some wanted
 it to be soulful, some wants it to be of high tempo. With all these 
different views, what chances are there that the new version will satisy
 all parties (or any parties) concerned? In my opinion, redoing the song
 is pointless and will result in nothing more than a wild-goose chase. 

We have got a gang of people who get popular by finding mistakes. The people 
who criticized CWG theme has got their name scrolling scrolling in atleast any 
1 news channel. Poor Critics... We cannot help it out guys.

  However, if it is a commissioned artist, say, you hire a painter to do 

draw your mom's or dad's portrait, or yourself's, and what he draws 

you don't like, you don't think that his portrait is expressing the 

qualities you would like to see on the pic face of your mom or dad, or 

on your own pic face. Of course, it is because you never briefed him 

properly beforehand what feel or expression you wanted in the 

portrait. But, whatever the history, if you don't like the portrait, 

you would rather expect the artist to touch it up, OR, you would tear 

off that painting, or dump that somewhere even after paying the artist 

full money, and you would commission some other artist and on and on, 

unless you get what you want. Customer is the king.

But whatever improvements or changes needed would have been conveyed during the 
process of making the art and not after the final product has been given to 
you, am I right? Likewise the customer in this case i.e. the Government has 
approved of the song prior to the release. So it's ridiculous to turn around 
and ask ARR to redo his song now, simply because someone else (Opposition, 
media) doesn't seem to like it. The act not only insults ARR as the composer 
but would also makes us to question the Government's judgment in approving the 
song in the first place.



sorry for repeating it 3rd time, but ARR has retouched his work 

previously as per directors' requirements. Ranjha Ranjha has a film 

version that was not in the CDs, chiggy wiggy has got some indian 

voice version when some copyright issue had come up from Kylie's 

contract, I guess. Palanhare of lagaan has a film version had 

different voice than the CD version. Gopala of humse has muqabla has a 

different lyrics in film version (hindi) than in the cassettes.

The songs that were mentioned by your goodself had changes only as far as the 
singers or lyrics are concerned, not the tune itself. In that sense, the above 
changes cannot be categorised as "ARR has retouched his work".

On the other hand, Ranjha Ranjha's situation was totally different. The 
original tune was there in the film (at least it was there in the Tamil 
version). An additional and different version of the song (the pathos number) 
was composed only to accomodate the situation of the film. No one knows whose 
idea it was- it could be ARR's or Mani's, but one thing was clear- the tune was 
definitely not composed to replace the original number. 



The other aspect is, Jai Ho's pussycat version might have gone more 

popular in foreign countries just because it was in a language they 

could understand. So, what if some other MD releases a remix version 

of CWG theme that gets more popular than ARR's original, say Himesh or 

Anu Malik or Pritam releases a remix CWG? Then, wouldn't it be a 

further war among skills of both the MDs? ARR's skills are undisputed, 

so it will be bad seeing some other MD of lesser skills getting 

prominence over him.

I very sure that we would not be facing a situation where Anu Malik or Himesh 
releases a remix of CWG in near future. Not when ARR himself is particular 
about the copyright of his songs. In fact, Jai Ho's pussycat version was 
possible because ARR had the rights of the song and he agreed for the 
collaboration. And there was also a purpose for new version- ARR particularly 
wanted to new version to reach out to the western market and hence the 
collaboration.

But the situation with CWG is totally unclear. Some wanted the song to have an 
English version, some wanted a more Indianized tune. Some wanted it to be 
soulful, some wants it to be of high tempo. With all these different views, 
what chances are there that the new version will satisy all parties (or any 
parties) concerned? In my opinion, redoing the song is pointless and will 
result in nothing more than a wild-goose chase.

[Vasu]

MTV: In terms of the music, it's A.R. Rahman doing the score again after 
"Slumdog." Can you speak a little about what he's done? 

Boyle: We've got a couple of songs, and the rest of the work is more 
guitar-based. Some of it is solo guitar, which felt appropriate given the 
nature of the story. Got a couple of wonderful songs. Free Blood ("Never Hear 
Surf Music Again") at the beginning, which we used for the trailer. Music has 
always been a big part of a movie for me, and I hope we've done another one 
justice we've what we've used.

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[Amith Chandhran]

Sir, the question itself is invalid.

Any artist's legal obligations under a performance contract come to an end
as soon as the art is submitted and accepted by the producers. In any case,
whether people like it or not is no legal concern for an artist. Further,
after having accepted the artwork submitted by the artist, it is the
headache of the producers to deal with any further consequences thereof.

In case, for the reasons best known to him, if an artist himself wants to
rework on his art to his own satisfaction, he may do so at an additional
cost to the producers.

Thanks,

[arr] CWG theme is actually growing on me....Final Review...it ends all...!!!

[ASIT]

I have been listening to the CWG theme song...i don't understand people who 
don't understand music at all...leave alone Rahman sir's or CWG theme...i 
particularly fall for "lagi re ab lagi re lagan...o..o" and then the sitar 
interlude...awesome man!!
what should Rahman sir have have done is to minus the operatic section in the 
initial of the song and should start the song where the rock guitar begins(as 
the original song is too aesthete to go down well with the masses) and the 
lyrics should begin with English(it would be more appealing internationally) 
till the line "kaisi sach hai sach hai dekho maati apni"..and every thing 
should remain same, all orchestration, tune everything...m PROUD of Rahman 
sir...
P.S.:-Never judge a Rahman song on one go!!!
i hate to say this butmany of our own members don't get the maestro's music 
at all...why have they joined it..i don see the point...

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[Arr Fan]

Please understand that ARR has already tweaked the CWG theme song for 10 days 
as 
requested by CWG Organizing Committee. Hence the delay in releasing it. In 
essence, he delivered what was requested by them - I don't think ARR should 
keep 
tweaking this over and over again. I would be happy to hear the original ARR 
version before the tweakings.

His Jai Ho tour resumes next weekend in North America. Schedule from his 
Facebook update 

Los Angeles (Sep 11th), San Francisco (12th), Vancouver (14th), Dallas (17th), 
Houston (18th), Boston (22nd), Newark (23rd), Detroit (25th), Toronto (26th) 
and 
Raleigh (29th)

Anil ji,

I was just trying to see the trend in members opinions on this issue, 
that's why I have not even added my own opinion in this thread though 
I have expressed elsewhere in this group my views.

But, adding here just to analyze your metaphor of an artist drawing a 
portrait.

Artist makes a portrait on his free will, not under a commercial 
contract. Artist has not taken any money and had not given a brief of 
the situation for which his painting has to be there. He got some idea 
and created a painting. Thus, artist is not under any obligation to 
review his work on the basis of feedback.

However, if it is a commissioned artist, say, you hire a painter to do 
draw your mom's or dad's portrait, or yourself's, and what he draws 
you don't like, you don't think that his portrait is expressing the 
qualities you would like to see on the pic face of your mom or dad, or 
on your own pic face. Of course, it is because you never briefed him 
properly beforehand what feel or expression you wanted in the 
portrait. But, whatever the history, if you don't like the portrait, 
you would rather expect the artist to touch it up, OR, you would tear 
off that painting, or dump that somewhere even after paying the artist 
full money, and you would commission some other artist and on and on, 
unless you get what you want.

Customer is the king.

for CWG theme song and other film songs, ARR signs a commercial 
contract, he is given a brief of each situation, and then he has to 
deliver a song for that, and gets some money.

sorry for repeating it 3rd time, but ARR has retouched his work 
previously as per directors' requirements. Ranjha Ranjha has a film 
version that was not in the CDs, chiggy wiggy has got some indian 
voice version when some copyright issue had come up from Kylie's 
contract, I guess. Palanhare of lagaan has a film version had 
different voice than the CD version. Gopala of humse has muqabla has a 
different lyrics in film version (hindi) than in the cassettes.

Many more, several previous examples are there when ARR has recognized 
that client (director, music company holding rights) can ask him to 
touch up his songs, and he did that. After all a film is a director's 
vision.

And such accommodating nature had been a plus point of ARR's repute. 
And goes well with his politeness.

Then? Why not now?

> I don't think AR will re-improve or redo it.

The other aspect is, Jai Ho's pussycat version might have gone more 
popular in foreign countries just because it was in a language they 
could understand. So, what if some other MD releases a remix version 
of CWG theme that gets more popular than ARR's original, say Himesh or 
Anu Malik or Pritam releases a remix CWG? Then, wouldn't it be a 
further war among skills of both the MDs? ARR's skills are undisputed, 
so it will be bad seeing some other MD of lesser skills getting 
prominence over him.

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[Gayathri Chandrakasan]

However, if it is a commissioned artist, say, you hire a painter to do 

draw your mom's or dad's portrait, or yourself's, and what he draws 

you don't like, you don't think that his portrait is expressing the 

qualities you would like to see on the pic face of your mom or dad, or 

on your own pic face. Of course, it is because you never briefed him 

properly beforehand what feel or expression you wanted in the 

portrait. But, whatever the history, if you don't like the portrait, 

you would rather expect the artist to touch it up, OR, you would tear 

off that painting, or dump that somewhere even after paying the artist 

full money, and you would commission some other artist and on and on, 

unless you get what you want. Customer is the king.

But whatever improvements or changes needed would have been conveyed during the 
process of making the art and not after the final product has been given to 
you, am I right? Likewise the customer in this case i.e. the Government has 
approved of the song prior to the release. So it's ridiculous to turn around 
and ask ARR to redo his song now, simply because someone else (Opposition, 
media) doesn't seem to like it. The act not only insults ARR as the composer 
but would also makes us to question the Government's judgment in approving the 
song in the first place.



sorry for repeating it 3rd time, but ARR has retouched his work 

previously as per directors' requirements. Ranjha Ranjha has a film 

version that was not in the CDs, chiggy wiggy has got some indian 

voice version when some copyright issue had come up from Kylie's 

contract, I guess. Palanhare of lagaan has a film version had 

different voice than the CD version. Gopala of humse has muqabla has a 

different lyrics in film version (hindi) than in the cassettes.

The songs that were mentioned by your goodself had changes only as far as the 
singers or lyrics are concerned, not the tune itself. In that sense, the above 
changes cannot be categorised as "ARR has retouched his work".

On the other hand, Ranjha Ranjha's situation was totally different. The 
original tune was there in the film (at least it was there in the Tamil 
version). An additional and different version of the song (the pathos number) 
was composed only to accomodate the situation of the film. No one knows whose 
idea it was- it could be ARR's or Mani's, but one thing was clear- the tune was 
definitely not composed to replace the original number. 



The other aspect is, Jai Ho's pussycat version might have gone more 

popular in foreign countries just because it was in a language they 

could understand. So, what if some other MD releases a remix version 

of CWG theme that gets more popular than ARR's original, say Himesh or 

Anu Malik or Pritam releases a remix CWG? Then, wouldn't it be a 

further war among skills of both the MDs? ARR's skills are undisputed, 

so it will be bad seeing some other MD of lesser skills getting 

prominence over him.

I very sure that we would not be facing a situation where Anu Malik or Himesh 
releases a remix of CWG in near future. Not when ARR himself is particular 
about the copyright of his songs. In fact, Jai Ho's pussycat version was 
possible because ARR had the rights of the song and he agreed for the 
collaboration. And there was also a purpose for new version- ARR particularly 
wanted to new version to reach out to the western market and hence the 
collaboration.

But the situation with CWG is totally unclear. Some wanted the song to have an 
English version, some wanted a more Indianized tune. Some wanted it to be 
soulful, some wants it to be of high tempo. With all these different views, 
what chances are there that the new version will satisy all parties (or any 
parties) concerned? In my opinion, redoing the song is pointless and will 
result in nothing more than a wild-goose chase.

hi,
Though I am a die hard fan of ARR,I have been only a silent reader of this 
group for many years..The song is still growing on me and is'nt as 
disappointing as the politicians and other music composers felt..But now that 
his song has been criticized I honestly feel ARR has to recompose the song to 
silence all his critics by letting his music do the talking..

I have absolute confidence in rahman and I hope he comes up with music that 
hits back at those cwg theme bashers and also those who are waiting for an 
opportunity to call ARR an overrated music composer..

Now after all those IBN rubbish,I guess ARR himself would want to prove his 
critics wrong and compose a song that stuns them..

Re: [arr] Re: Mani Sir Leaving ARR..??????

Vithur,
The news is true. It is a film directed by someone else, but produced by
Mani Sir. Earlier too, Mani Sir's production had music by different
composeres, maybe because the scale of the project is too small to afford
ARR. Earlier Karthik Raja had composed for a Mani Ratnam production.

But definitely, for Mani Ratnam's direction..No one is going to replace ARR.

Then u would be surprised to find this thread of mine. Iam no Amit trivedi

By the way, Ravi is being a little rational, by saying that no one can come
up to ARR's level. It was like how people in the late 80's believed that no
one would be ever born to replace Ilayaraja.
But, Amit will never replace ARR. Time will tell us who will match ARR's
talent (Not possible to replace ARR; coz ARR is emperor of Indian film
music).
But until then, I would request u guys to enjoy the extraordinary  ARR; as
well as other good musicians.

RE: [arr] The Indian dream!

[s03g373 s03g373]

Hi George,

You wrote exactly what I have been thinking forever. 100% agree with you.

 Please read the mail I have sent to the group last friday.

Take care,

Serge.

Hey Guys,


This whole CWG theme songs fiasco has been really getting my blood boil. This 
is my 2cents worth.




Here is a group of politicians who are known to be corrupt to the bone. I am 
generalizing here. I am an Indian living in Australia. I am proud of being 
Indian. BUT, I cannot stand the corruption that goes on in India. One of the 
main reasons for me to leave India was the corruption there. Not saying that 
there is no corruption anywhere else but there is so much of it in India and we 
all know it but no one does anything about it. It is great to see a hero in a 
movie killing all sorts of weeds in our government but in reality there is no 
one stopping the weeds entering the government 


The CWG anthem in absolutely brilliant. I loved it and can't get enough of it. 
The only reason for finding faults with A.R.Rahman is to divert the focus from 
the politicians corruption scandals. For the people who have a problem with the 
money paid to Rahman I am sorry he deserves every paise. There is no other 
musician who could have come up with a better compositions. That is the plain 
truth. This is really making my blood boil to a point where I feel like calling 
a press conference and putting thing forward to the bloody media and asking 
them the questions about where are their compositions and which one of them 
have had even 2 days of music lessons for them to make such claims and bring it 
out as headlines. 


If there was someone from this group who could help me voice our support and 
bring the corrupt politicians to the limelight I will be happy to support and 
will come back to my motherland India. India is a great country and would be 
even better if we had been governed by clean politicians. There are a few 
great, highly educated politicians who would make great leaders but they are 
all sidelined so that the greedy, uneducated scum could rule a great country 
only to drag it to their standards. 


I guess our politicians enjoyed the Shakira song only because of all the skin 
shown. Guess they were looking only at the video (I personally think they 
wouldn't have understood the lyrics.. hahaha) Sorry couldn't help putting 
that in! I really liked Wakka Wakka for the brilliant composition, the beats, 
rhythm and also the dance in the video was great! As I read in one of the 
topics Wakka wakka was made for the biggest sporting event in the world. It had 
to be publicized they it was. 


Another thing I wanted to point out was that, a 99% of these self proclaimed 
music critics said that the words of the CWG theme wasn't what they had 
expected, now what does the lyrics have to do with A.R.Rahman. If the words are 
not in sync with the event you criticize the  lyricist and not the composer. I 
hope these self proclaimed music critics do know what the difference is between 
the lyrics and the music of a song. 


I am sorry for a lengthy email but I had to put all my feelings into words! 
Will India ever become a corrupt free country? Will there be a day when all the 
politicians will say that they don't accept bribes and actually be saying the 
truth? I hope we as a group can bring about this change and make A.R.Rahman sir 
be proud of fans like all of us. We are a group of 16231 members even if we 
just try and get a few people to change and create a domino effect we could 
change our great country and make it better than any other place in the world 
and be known for something great other than a land of call centers. Hope we can 
do this and make A.R.Rahman's and our dreams of a great India come true. 


God Bless you our A.R.Rahman sir and all of us his fans. 


TAKE CARE! 


Regards,


Rohit George

Just Revisited 2 great Films by ARR... This time with Concentration on BGM and 
acting skills of actors.. Was just astonished to see the way the BGMs proceed 
on.. 

The 2 films were "The Legend of Bhagath Singh" and "Iruvar".

The BGMs exactly matched the situation. That too for Iruvar it was typically 
set as though it was composed during the older days. For legend of bhagath 
singh it was so patriotic. 

The Music of  TLBS is almost forgotten by many. The Mahive and jogiya songs are 
good medium paced melody songs... Cant get better. The song of Desh mere, mera 
rang de basanti, sarfaroshi ki tamanna(both versions) can make any one 
understand what INDIA was to the three freedom fighters. Perfectly placed. 

I am stopping here as i am running out of words 

    Thanks/Best Regards

Re: [arr] Re: Mani Sir Leaving ARR..??????

[Indmov Buff]

Mani is not leaving Rahman. The news speculated that Yuvan was signed on for 
his 
home production movie. Not his directorial venture. He has worked with other 
music directors for his home productions (Dum Dum Dum- Karthik Raja etc)

I'm against it. CWG or not, there's nothing more insulting than asking a 
composer to redo a song which has been released. Every composition is like a 
baby to the composer. Others may like/dislike the "baby" but a composer will 
never hate the same. By asking ARR to redo the song is akin to telling a 
mother, "Your baby is horrible to look at. Dump it and give birth to a new 
baby."

[arr] Re: Mani Sir Leaving ARR..??????

[raj]

Yuvan is working mani's  production and not direction. Mani has used other 
music directors for the films in his production. Ex: Nerukku ner, Aasai, 5 star

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[mb4zap®]

I am against! It is a superior composition and it is crystal clear that 
politicians are polluting and media is booming it for their own benefit.. 


so NO need to redo.
