[arr] Re: Namakame.....is the only song I love in Komaram Puli

[Dinesh Scaran]

Your music from your Jingle days and the 90s were purely around the carnatic 
expertise in you...why dont you come back to this realm???
> 

Santosh, this is something i have said a few times in the the group in the past 
few months. His 90s songs had strong Carnatic flavor in them, and thus this is 
why people always says his 90s r the best. But if im not mistaken, in a recent 
interview ARR said that he doesnt want to use carnatic as he is afraid the 
songs will sound similar to another song frequently and that is why he is 
trying as much as he can to stay away (not his exact word though) from it.

But in my honest Opinion, ARR should use more carnatic bases in his songs 
nowadays. This does not mean i want ARR to stop his innovativeness, but THE 
ARRAHMAN STAMP is all about this because he started his career with it and 
people are remembering his songs for this factor and that is why all this 
debate on 90s and post 90s songs come about. Songs like Ennavale, Anjali Anjali 
and such, not only they were extremely modern, but also very Indianized as 
well. Something that is A.R.RAHMAN all bout... :) 

IMHO, En Uyir Tozhiye from Kangalal Kaithi Sei post 2000 is by far the most 
most most soulful melody from A.R.Rahman in recent years which will never fade, 
ever! :)

[arr] Re: Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya may be Rahman's greatest work to date

[Dinesh Scaran]

Among this year's releases, im more attached to Endhiran album as a whole. I 
listen to all the 7 songs in loop, which was never the case in VTV or Raavanan. 
Endhiran marks that enjoyable yet classy factor clearly in every min of the 
song in the album..

Endhiran, truly a 101% A.R.Rahman stamp album :)

[Dinesh Scaran]

exactly bro... i was wondering who was that singer... sounded so different... 
even the music sounded plain compared to the CD version. im guessing that could 
be the effect of the speakers, but the voice and the way the singer sung was 
different... could anyone throw some lights on this?

Re: [arr] Endhiran for kids only

[Dinesh Scaran]

Taimur and Kishore, its ok to be dissapointed over the album. But to say the 
album is for kids, was kind of unbearable and an insult to us who r loving it 
tremendously. Seriously, the album had the typical Shankar - A.R.Rahman combo 
punch. I feel i was listening to a Kadhalan + Boys album. Very youthful 
(Kadhalan) and modern (Boys) as well. I will post my review soon, ofcource it 
wont be musically detailed, but it will be filled with praises and some critics 
along it.

In short, Endhiran is the most youthful and futuristic album from A.R.Rahman 
since Boys. Period.

[arr] Re: How Endhiran stacks up against previous ARR-Rajni Combo Soundtracks

[Dinesh Scaran]

Its because there isnt any Rajini factor in any songs Its purely a Shankar 
- A.R.Rahman combo power... :)... .Sivaji the boss had Rajini flavor to some 
extend. But not in Endhiran Endhiran rocks...

ps: not degrading Rajini factor here, but Shankar-A.R.Rahman combo itself is 
like a Regime... Its stands by its own. :)

[arr] Madhushree goes missing in the Tamil and Telugu versions... to ARR Sir

[Dinesh Scaran]

Greeting A.R.Rahman sir, i seriously do hope this message reach you sir.   
Madhushree has tweeted that she has sung all 3 versions (Tamil, Telugu and 
Hindi) version of her song in Endhiran. This has given us Madhushree fans a BIG 
dream. But we was disapointed with sir only retaining her voice in the Hindi 
version. We know you know the best, but it really shattered our dreams. The 
Madhushree's voice in your composition simply means MAGIC. For instance the 
ghazal songs of Tehzeeb, Sandai Kozhi Kozhi - Aayitha Ezhutu, Marudhani - 
Sakarakatti, Vaaji Vaaji - Sivaji, etc etc... 

I do hope Sir will compensate with giving us more Madhushree numbers in the 
future... I seriously hope...

Thank u ....

Dinesh Scaran

[arr] Re: Where is Dinesh?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Hi Rivjot... its so nice of u to remember me... haha... ohh yes, i heard the 
song... but Madhushree did not sing much, and it really did disappoint me. but 
Chitra madam has done a fabulous job. Beautifully sung by her. Madhushree has 
given it a very North Indian feel while Chitra has given it a very South Indian 
feel. im sure everyone could realize this too.. haha... it was a cool breeze 
song like the bhajan in Lagaan and Swades. And it has a pinch of "Chinna 
Thaiyaval" from Dhalapathi.

U could close ur eyes easily and feel the divinity in the song. Something very 
rare in nowadays Filmi musics ;)

What did u think about it Rivjot?

Re: [arr] VTV Title song and Emmerson Lake and Palmer

[Dinesh Scaran]

Agreed, Dilse/Uyire comes way behind those albums of Mani-ARR u mentioned. But 
i personally feel Kandukoindain Kandukoidain was a much more matured 
composition of ARR compared to Dil Se. Or should i say it reached me better, 
because of certain personal factors. Every each song had its charm and it was 
very intact to the Tamil culture and literature. It was a dream to have a 
Bharathiyar poem with A.R.Rahman's touch. Kannamoochi was a brilliant score. I 
remember, during the Top 10 songs show at that time, the host explained what 
and how the Raagams was used in the song, and it had a template which is so 
complicated and unconventional yet it sounded extremely mind-blowing and sweet 
to the ears. :). i dun think u should just dismis the album just like that. IF 
u listen to the album now, and if there is someone to review the album now with 
complete music knowledge, u will see what kind of album this is and its a sin 
to say such about this album :)

[arr] Re: ARR lost IIFA to Pritam

[Dinesh Scaran]

I really think ARR is beyong Awards nowadays. we should give awards to the rest 
if their work should be appreciated. ARRahman has alreadt own uncountable 
awards in his hands. For the dissapointed fans, if its not this year, then next 
year it is for A.R.Rahman. :)

Re: [arr] VTV audio sales

[Dinesh Scaran]

i cant comment on the audio sales, but buy going the popularity of callertunes 
here in Malaysia, Paiyya scores way higher than VTV.

If the page shows something else, click Kollywood and then click the tab TOP.

[arr] Semmozhiyana Tamizh Mozhi.... True enough.... Please stand up and take a bow !

[Dinesh Scaran]

I would like to openly express my special thanks to A.R.Rahman for giving us 
such a beautiful number. Its impossible for any Tamilans to hear this song and 
not get a goosebumps. Especially Shruti Hassan's portion followed by the 
chorus. Just marvelous!

It was so heart warming to see all the Tamil singers performing in A.R.Rahman's 
songs. Its been 6 years since Harini sang in A.R.Rahman's composition, and 
Bombay Jayashree, 13 years. Its another great thing to see P.Suseela singing 
for ARRahman after 15 years. Great to see a song fully performed by leading 
Tamil singers and beautiful lyrics about Tamil language. 

One part it says, " A lively language, a world language which will live and 
grow forever, its our language!". It simply will give u the goosebumps. Such 
inspiring lyrics. And they way the singers render it, hats off to all the 
singers.

Gautham Menon beautifully shot the video, and Anthony's editing. Its spell 
bounding... the Gautham Menon-ARRahman combo continues to rock!

After listening to this song, the love for my Tamil language has grown 
tremendously... Such divine song from A.R.Rahman.

I read some of the members here was complaining about Blaaze's portion. But i 
really feel it was very appropriate. Showing the Tamilans are rocking in all 
genre, even in Rap. Loved it...!

Tamil Mozhi Vazhge! A.R.Rahman Vazhge!

Re: [arr] Khili re... an Ultimate melody...

[Dinesh Scaran]

Taimur, i have been listening to Ravanan songs for a few days, in my car or 
when im using the pc, and i feel otherwise. This album would easily find its 
place in the top 5 of Mani-ARR combo. Lovely songs. It has that typical 
ARR-Mani touch. Esp Usere poguthey, Keda Kari and Khili Re.The rest sounds new, 
but its rocking 2 bro. I think u should give it more time. :)

Btw,im not sure why everyone was criticizing Anuradha Sriram in Kaate Siriki... 
I think she sounds cool there. After listening to the Hindi version, im 
guessing the Tamil number was recorded first? coz the Hindi version has 
Anuradha's rendition in the second interlude. Ranjha Ranjha sounds good too. 
Rekha sounds great. But the energy that Anuradha provided is really great, not 
sure why its being condemned...

cool bro, i guess ur a Shreya fan. i love her voice too. but something in Khili

version didnt. no offence to the Tamil version, but i really wished Reena sang

Re: [arr] I like Raavanan Music but I agree with those who don't like it as much

[Dinesh Scaran]

Who here agrees with me Khili Re sounds too, too amazing compared to Kalvare? 
There is something about this girl's (Reena Baradwaj) voice that spelled divine 
in this song. This feel is totally missing in Kalvare. So far after good 
listens, my view is such :

Keda Kari > Katha Katha
Kalvare < Khili Re

so far im hooked to this songs, these songs r not letting me to get into the 
other songs. waiting to move on to the other songs haha...

[arr] Re: Raavanan vs Raavan - Comparison - Why?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Thank u Gomz and Vinayakam :D. Haha. Ohh yes Vinayakam, totally forgotten bout 
it. I liked Lakeer for the additional 3 songs, Esp Sadiyaan. Thats a beautiful 
melody. and i liked the song by the Viva Girls. The remakes were not so nice. 
Nacheley surely was kickass song, but i guess the element of the 
panchabootangal went missing in this. I think Rhythm as an album comes in a 
package. Each of the song sounds very appropriate and connected in the album. 
Thats y i recommended it, guess it should not fall under the "Non 
dubbed/remade" songs. My mistake on that. Thanks for the notification 
Vinayakam. :)

[arr] Re: Raavanan vs Raavan - Comparison - Why?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Rawat, i understand u feel comfortable listening to Hindi songs as u understand 
them. But Rawat, seriously, as for me, im not being bad here, but most of his 
dubbed albums from Tamil to Hindi r not in par with the originals (Tamil). Take 
Roja, Kadhalan, Bombay and such, that spark was missing in the Hindi and Telugu 
versions. i shall give a detailed explanation below.

But this is always not the case, im not being totally inclined towards Tamil 
only. For instance im a crazy fan of One 2 Ka 4, Lagaan and such. I could not 
bare to listen to the Tamil version of Sona Nahi, Osaka Muraiya, Ruth Agayire 
and such. I actually kept the cassettes far from my reach. It spoilt the 
initial magic of the Hindi versions.

Same thing for New-Naani album. The "Pedave Palinke" was so magical which i 
couldnt digest the Tamil version of it "Kaalayil Dhinamum".

Same thing goes to the the Kannada version of Doli Sajakhe Rakhna/Jodi. Well i 
really liked "Chandramukiye" than "Velli Malare" and " Bhol Sajini". The 
Kannada language was too beautiful for that song. Loved how Madhushree went 
"Surya SakaniSurya Sakani..." such beautiful song. That particular song in 
Kannada sounded the best among all the version.

Another thing Rawat, if u feel u want to listen to ARR's Tamil songs (Yes, im 
guessing ur missing allot of his Gems, seriously)... i would like u to go 
through these albums,they were not dubbed into Hindi.

1.Kangalal Kaithi Sei (M-A-G-I-C)<-- says it all.
2.Anthimanthirai (the most underrated album, but the theme musics r mindblowing)
3.Uzhavan (start with Pennale Pennale, an amazing song)
4.Iruvar (oh please please listen to this, magical Mani-ARR album)
5.Sangamam (i think u wont be able to like this, since its a very typical South 
Indian flavor, but nevertheless, u should not miss "Sowkiyama".)
6.Thenali's Porkalam, Thakirikitha, Swasame.
7.Kannathil Muttamittal (Excellent album, esp Vellai Pookal and Kannathil 
Muttamittal by Chinmayi)
8.Rhythm (amazing score... the panchaboothangal - 5 elements were composed 
beautifully in each song. Each songs represent each element. Listen to them and 
guess which is which... ;) )
9. Boys (Amazing album, it was a second Roja for ARR in Tamil. This album made 
ARR bounced back again, after a serious of flops in Tamil, both movie and album 
wise - read Star, Alli Arjuna, Udhaya, PArashuram).


On the dubbed albums, here r the once u SHOULD not miss.

1.Alaipayuthey (Original version of Saathiya) - Listen to Pacchai Niramey, 
Hariharan gave the whole song such life. He sung the song as if he is 
whispering those beautiful lyrics into the lady's ears. Such soft and delicate 
song. Sneghidene was beautiful as the male chorus had a very haunting magic in 
it. And Sadhana did a wonderful job in the Tamil/Telugu version. U should 
listen to know what i mean. And Evano Oruvan is such a powerful song. Such 
sadness in the song. Was totally missing in that Hindi version. And ARR used 
this song as BGM so beautifully in Alaipayuthey. Really emoted the scenes so 
well. Yaaro Yaarodi is too Tamil folkish to suit the Hindi lyrics. But im 
surprised how ARR did manage to give it the right feel for Chalka. Still Yaaro 
Yaarodi had a very rustic feel. Kadhal Sadugudu was soo sweet. A real contrast 
compared to Adnan' Sami in Aye Udi Udi. Its like 2 different songs. U should 
listen to Tamil version. it will be a new feel for u.

2.Thiruda Thiruda - Seriously, the Chinese girl's work in Thee Thee is 
unmatchable... such beautifuly rendered. lovely, and powerful. Ofcource, all 
the tracks should be listened to be enjoyed.

3.Uyire - All the songs had a different feel. When u listen to Uyire, u wont 
have a feel ur listening to a dubbed album. It has its own identity. IF u think 
Lata did a splendid job in Jiya Jale, please listen to what S.Janaki did in 
Nenjinile. Check out how did she finished the song with her rendition. Just so 
appropriate. No offense meant to Lata and her version though, just S.Janaki did 
it too well that it needs such acknowledgment. Do listen to it. Thaiyya Thaiyya 
had a different feel alltogether, compared to Chaiyya Chaiyya. Poongatrile was 
magical amazing rendition by Unnimenon.

Ofcource the other 90s original Tamil albums should be visited. It holds its 
own charm. But the above are a must, immediately. haha

This mail is not directed to Rawat alone, but to all the ARR fans who did not 
get a chance to listen to these version because they do not understand 
Tamil/Telugu/Kannada. Please do.

Re: [arr] After Rythm it's VTV!

yes. with VTV, many were saying "ARR is back". well i dunno in what sense they 
meant, but the album is a rocking hit. Never seen this kind of response from 
the today's teenagers to an ARR album. They r usually a Harris or Yuvan song 
followers. They will only use their songs as callertune and ringtones. but 
these few months im spotting teenagers using Hosanna as ringtone and 
callertune... really glad to see this. :)

[arr] Re: Raavanan vs Raavan - Comparison - Why?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Gomz, not at all. I clearly stated that i want to give the respect to 
Mani-ARR-VM combo. i dun see how is that linked to the topic here. Im listening 
to Ravan songs now as well. I did not post a msg comparing Ravan and Ravanan 
songs in details...  

My whole point here is no one is giving Ravanan a review for the album as it 
self. They all r comparing Ravan and Ravanan in each Ravanan review. Im 
expecting a geunine review in the sense a person's scope concentrated in 
Ravanan alone.

[arr] Re: Raavanan vs Raavan - Comparison - Why?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Ganpy, i love this msg of u. I too agree with u. Since Ravanan got released, 
its been Ravan vs Ravanan. There isnt a genuine review on Ravanan as it self. 
People should learn to love songs despite the language

[arr] Re: i now like Keta Kari better than Kata Kata

[Dinesh Scaran]

Rajib, you just insulted the Tamil language. How could u say its a horrible 
language? Though the Tamil that is being used in songs r actually the actual 
Tamil language, compared to the once being used by the Tamils in the daily 
conversations. If anyone uses the actual Tamil to speak to us, he will be 
whacked. Lol. Coz the Language is that complicated and pure. 

I agree Uyire is a better album than Dil Se, any day. But i prefered Jodha 
akhbar in Hindi compared to Tamil. 

Vimal, its really 'sin' not to listen to Alaipayuthey. Its by far one of ARR's 
strongest, solid album. The whole charm was lost in Saathiya. Do listen. I 
recommend it 200%.

[arr] Raavanan - My View... ARR's 'Thalapathy'??

[Dinesh Scaran]

Guys, i totally love Raavanan songs after 2 listens... It was like listening 
ARR-Mani's version of Thalapathy. Same flavour and what not... AmazingVery 
lively album! Excellent Quality...!!! im expecting the movie to be on par with 
Thalapathy. Awaiting eagerly

[arr] Re: Is ARR really a Tamilian? - (read in a light mood please)

[Dinesh Scaran]

every comments can be viewed in many ways, if u view it like that, then its 
like that. what i really meant that ARR's talent is such. ofcource research r 
the primary fact, but to implement it its a whole different thing altogether. 
And thats what i meant.

[arr] Re: Mediocre/Average score by ARR for Raavan

[Dinesh Scaran]

hello nanba... some songs will sound good only after watching the visuals. im 
very sure ARR composed the songs keeping the visuals in mind. ARR is a person 
who works more on the script, rather than the song appealing as it self. so 
just put it to rest, and enjoy VTV or any other ARR-Mani combo instead. Im 
hooked to Alaipayuthey songs for now... :)

[arr] Re: Usurae Pogudhey - Behene De & Gujarat Day song

the song by Karthik sounds very good. The lyrics sounds very good. its been so 
long since we heard such raw yet classy Tamil lyrics. ARR-VM combo never fails. 
The tune sounds very folkish too. Im glad i skiped Ravan songs for Ravanan. No 
disappointment what so ever... Waiting for the audio cd now...

Re: [arr] Raavanan audio on May 5

[Dinesh Scaran]

its quite hurtful that the Tamil version is being sidelined in many ways but we 
cant blame the artists (ARR,actors,Mani) because its the producers decision on 
to have the audio launch or not. Its more complicated than what we think it is. 
We cant give preference to our wish once ur in a business field but for the 
delay in releasing the Raavanan audio (what? about 10-15 days from the hindi 
audio?), im expecting to see something more than what the Ravan audio has. 
Perhaps an extra song or a Theme music. If its just the same, then i have no 
comment. There is no more ill treatment to us who r expecting Raavanan more.

Re: [arr] Ranking of Mani-ARR albums

[Dinesh Scaran]

My ranking :

1.Thiruda Thiruda (Cant explain enough of the beauty of this album)
2.Iruvar (A score which surprised us all. Poo Koodiyin was a beautiful tribute 
to MSV and the 1960s music, Narumugaiye was magical and the brilliant Hello 
Mr.Ethirkatchi... wow...!!).
3.Alaipayuhey (Manasum Alai Paindethe...All the songs didnt create ripples, but 
it was a tsunami... Sneghidne and Pacchai Nirame r evergreen. Yaaro Yarodi was 
a new genre... Kadhal Sadugudu...my goodness... beautiful...)
4.Kannathil Muttamittal (an album which spells Quality in every corner of the 
songs. Vellai Pookal, Kannathil Muttamittal, and Vidai Koode engal Naade. The 
lyrics in Vellai Pookal... hmmm... it shows why Vairamuthu-ARR combo is 
unbeatable...) 
5.Roja (Pudhu Vellai Malai, Kadhal Rojave = sheer beauty...)
6.Aayitha Ezhutu (Yaakai Thiri, Sandha Kozhi kozhi, Hey goodbye nanba top 
class quality songs...)
7.Bombay (Kannalane, Uyire Uyire and the Theme music was the best.The rest was 
very passable, IMHO.)
8.Uyire/Dil Se (Uyire was a better album IMHO, Nenjinile was rendered 
beautifully by S.Janaki [listen to the way she finished the song, she's a 
legend!]. Thaiyya Thaiyya by Sriram had more energy and power in it. 
Poongatrile... Do i need to say it? Its just divine...the lyrics had a soul in 
it...)
9.Guru (Ay Hairathe and Tere Bina was beautiful not doubt .But the typical 
Mani-ARR magic was seen nowhere in this album except for the theme music track 
sung by ARR and Chitra.)

Yet to listen to Raavanan, as it is not released. Not interested in Raavan as i 
always give preference to Mani-ARR-Vairamuthu combo. Nothing beats this combo 
in India. So ill give the respect for it and wait for Raavanan.

Re: [arr] I plan on doubling the Raavan pleasure......

[Dinesh Scaran]

if im not mistaken, some of the songs were recorded in Tamil first. I know the 
song "Poongatrile" was recorded in Tamil first. I remember reading an article 
where it says Gulzar was worried as he wonder if he could justify that song for 
the Hindi after listening to Vairamuthu's lyrics in Tamil.

Re: [arr] 17 years on, Thiruda Thiruda is still the one to beat

[Dinesh Scaran]

Taimur, very true. Its an immortal album. Taimur, in my view, not only Thiruda 
Thiruda album is immortal, here r my list... if u havent check them out, u 
should give it a try...

1.Thiruda Thiruda (im sure u know in and out of all the songs)

2.Duet (My God, what an album...!! actually, i would rate Duet album higher 
than Thiruda Thiruda)

3.Karuthamma (pure Tamil folk music with modern music/beats...classic!... both 
the version of Porale Ponnuthaiyi is a gem).

4.Iruvar (Wow, wow, wow... says it all)

5. En Swase Katre ( the tittle song, En Swase Katre can easily sweep off any 
songs easily... such soulful song Theendai another great carnatic tune 
blended well with contemporary music, Thirakathe Kaate kulle such blissful 
song and the ever popular Kadhal Nayagara)...

6.Sangamam ( such complete carnatic album from ARRahman. Its just beautiful... 
too good... Sowkiyama, a carnatic tune with saxaphone playing the carnatic 
notes too good...)

7.Uzhavan ( all the songs r too tasty. all the songs have marvelous tunes. 
Pennale Pennale is even sweeter than sugar itself. give it a try)

these albums speaks Quality+Immortality by itself. If u havent gone through 
these songs yet, u should Taimur. :)

[arr] Padaiyappa Voiceless BGMS

[Dinesh Scaran]

I have ripped this bgm a few months back, just to repost the link here :

Greetings my frens, I have ripped yet another excellent movie's BGMs of 
A.R.Rahman, Padaiyappa, starring Rajinikanth, a 1999 movie. And I must say, the 
layers of the BGM is truly spellbinding ! You will be surprised to find many 
hidden beauties, esp themes for Neelambari (Ramya Krishnan).

A very important note, because the source of the DVD comes from PYRAMID 
company, its not 100% voiceless, its only 98 % voiceless. Some of the Bgms have 
a very low volume of voices talking. So please bare with me on that matter, and 
u will enjoy it. But no worries, still the audio is crystal clear!

Hi frens, i have ripped one of ARR's most matured score in his career. Do

[arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..

[Dinesh Scaran]

H... guys guys, isnt people getting disappointed with ARR album in the 
first listening is like a norm and culture for us? Its very very natural. Lets 
just let them express themselves. im very sure they will post " I love the 
songs" in a few weeks time. lets not let it keep out spirit down.

dear Hari, i understand ur disappointed. but asking back ur money for it, its 
quite hurting. I think no albums should be treated like this. If u dun like it, 
put it aside, im sure once the movie hit the screens, u will then accept the 
album is worth more than what u paid.

[arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought - I've had it!!!!!!

[Dinesh Scaran]

AJ and co., how does it bother u if fans like Taimur express his feelings here? 
i find it very genuine. i think its quite simple for u guys to just delete the 
msgs from ur inbox or just dont read it isnt it? If u still insists on replying 
to it, do it with maturity. ur last line shows ur far from it. If its his way 
of expressing is such, why do u go down so low in answering his reply with such 
words to describe a person? And another thing, U dont own the group to expect 
what people should and should not post. as a member, just read what u like and 
reply on it, if u dont like, ignore. if u really want to say something on that 
issue, say it with respectable words. simple as a b c. Taimur has not used any 
low graded words to describe the current ARR songs or even u. So why must u say 
ur 'sick' of him and such?Just appreciating ARR songs doesnt mean ur a good ARR 
fan. U need to learn to be like ARR. Be humble and tolerate things well.u dont 
see taimur bashing people who praises his post 2000 style. R u on the same page 
bro?

Back on the issue, his Hindi songs r not reaching the same set of audience as 
for back then. for ur information, the last hindi arr album that was a hit down 
here in Malaysia was Taal. Play any songs from Rang De Basanti, Ghajini or 
Delhi 6 for that matter, people will go "huh, what songs r these". Being in 
India u will not know the difference. Well then again, ARR has to set 2 things 
with his songs. One is his standard (creativity, etc etc, u name it, he has it 
all) and whether the songs reached all levels of people ( lacking allot 
nowadays). I dunno if the common layman is expecting a 90s song, but certainly 
his current songs r not reaching them. U dont hear the estate people listening 
to Aayitha Ezhutu or even Sivaji the boss. But back then, everyone will play 
Minsara Kannavu or Indian songs (remember, back then, that ARR style was NEW 
and bodiless as well).

Taimur is very much speaking the voice of a common layman here. Thats y i see 
him as a very genuine person. His thoughts very much reflects the people out 
there. If ur angry with him,it means ur angry with the truth then. Why i say so 
because i always get the very same comment from many, many, many people. They 
tend to convey their thoughts to me because im an ARRahman fan. Whether its on 
the issue that ARR's current style is inferior to his 90s standard as what we 
brand of, or whether the people's  taste have changed, its debatable. but its a 
fact his filmi songs have lesser impact on people nowadays. Im really glad he 
has found a new ground to explore (Hollywood). See Jai Ho. He is having his 
"Roja" there. He has a whole new process and set of audience to awe. Im happy 
for it. And ARR songs will always be superior to any other md's songs in term 
of quality. No doubt. His songs could very much be a study material because of 
his various patterns and arrangments that is found no where in any corner of 
the earth. 

with this, all i wish is that fans here should be an ARR fan by adapting some 
good qualities from ARR himself. Please oh please, ARR is not just known for 
his songs, but also his angelic qualities... Please adapt them... well atleast 
use them in his own home(group).

[arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought

[Dinesh Scaran]

Taimur, i think u have spend too much time with the 90s albums of ARR and that 
is why u r dissapointed with the recent style of A.R.Rahman. Well i must say 
the current A.R.Rahman's style is not the same anymore. The only post 2000 
album which had the 90s ARR stamp was Kangalal Kaithi Sei. Im sure u dont need 
me to remind u of that. But its time u adapt this new style of A.R.Rahman. if u 
miss the old A.R.Rahman too much, u can always listen to his old albums anyday.

Im not being harsh to u like some of the members here. Just relax. ARR will 
surprise u in between these coming years with an album of ur taste. When Boys, 
E20U18 was released with his new style, KKS album sprung out of nowhere and 
took us by storm. Similarly such event will take place very soon.

For now, dun have any expectation on ARR's albums anymore. Since in ur mind his 
magnificent 90s style is stuck, all his current songs will disappoint u only. 
Just enjoy the current songs if u like them, if not, put them aside and relax 
back with his 90s album. No one is going to tell ur not an ARR fan just because 
u do not enjoy his current songs.

Just to let u know, for ARR to give us his old style, he will need his old crew 
back. which is impossible. as we know ARR's song is an input of all the crews 
as well. ARR extracts all the ideas of his crews inside his song as well. So he 
has a new set of crew, it will only mean new set of style. Later he will have a 
newer set of crew, and a newer style of songs.

Just stick with what u r. Do not let any of these members make u change any of 
ur music preference. Good and glad to see some hardcore fans like u around.

Taimur, i suggest u listen to Tamil songs by Harris Jeyaraj, Yuvan Shankar Raja 
and such. They compose good songs which r close to that 90s ARR style.

[arr] Kathir's New Venture... Is ARR the composer?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Kathir is back!
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 24, 2010]

It was making the rounds in film circles about `Kadhal Desam' Kathir's next 
project. Join IndiaGlitz in finding out more.

The director of some of the best cult love stories in Tamil, Kathir, after 
heavy homework is starting a new project, that sources say will be a bi-lingual.

Kathir has zeroed in Telugu actor Varun Sandesh of `Happy Days' fame. Varun is 
already half a dozen movies old in neighbouring Tollywood, and sources say that 
the director feels Varun has a pleasing lover boy image.

Sources further reveal that, a Telugu producer M.Sudhakar has come forward to 
produce the movie under Sri Maha Ganapathi Films banner and the shooting will 
start by August. Director Kathir is yet to decide on the other members of the 
cast and crew.

The movie will mark a new beginning for Kathir who has been in exile for 
sometime now and Varun Sandesh, who'll make his debut in Tamil. He is expecting 
a summer release, named `Maro Charithra', a remake of the classic Kamal Hassan 
movie.

Re: [arr] VTV Lyrics, Thamarai and Vairamuthu !!

[Dinesh Scaran]

ARR-VM combo is no doubt the best. ARR music best suits for VM words. I never 
found any songs of ARR without VM sounded as beautiful as ARR and VM and VM 
words never sounded sweeter without ARR. They go together so well. :)

A classic example is Roja.

[arr] Re: Currently, rank order these ARR albums.

[Dinesh Scaran]

agreed, new kind from ARR and ofcource in general. Masakalli had a very special 
twist in the song, something unusual but gripping and catchy. This song stands 
out clearly, no doubt. I do not wish 2 comments on other songs, as i dont want 
to hurt the feelings of the lovers of the song and create a huge war here. 
Already known enough there are some very 'well mannered' members around with 
extremely 'polite' manner to express their view. 

Anyhow, Yuvvraaj, VTV, ADA were albums of gold. Each seconds of the songs in 
the album spells magic really well for me. Esp VTV and Ada. All the songs were 
made out of gold.  Truly happy to have these kinda albums around when 'kuthu' 
and disco songs r the preferable choices of the people nowadays.

[arr] Re: Currently, rank order these ARR albums.

[Dinesh Scaran]

i have clearly stated there its is not soulful in my definition. Lets put it 
this way. These are some of the soulful songs from ARR for me, u may compare 
them with Delhi 6 songs and see why i do not view them as what u do  :

1.Anjali - Duet
2.Kannake Mai Azhagu - Pudhiya Mugam
3.En Uyir Tozhiye - KKS
4.Sonnalum - Kadhal Virus
5.Hawa Sun Hawa - Ada
6.Ennavale - Kadhalan
7.Marghali - Sangamam
8.Tu Muskura - Yuvvraaj
9.Hosanna - VTV
10.Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahan - Kisna
11.Kadhalenum - Kadhalar Dhinam


and ofcource the list can go on, but these r the 1 strike my mind for now. For 
me, the songs of d6 r just not in the caliber of these songs. But im happy its 
a hit for ARR and it has hit the right chords for many, good for him and for u 
too. Its not a loss for u and its not a loss for me. ARR has compensate for me 
more than enough with VTV. Cheerz

[arr] Re: Currently, rank order these ARR albums.

[Dinesh Scaran]

Looks like the pigeon album did not mesmerize the person who is always amused 
by the albums of the peacock. :)

D6 could have been the last in list, but Couples Retreat is there to safe that 
spot. Not that these albums were bad, but they did not reach in to me. Even 
Blue did wonders for me, it had the ARR punch with the tunes.

D6 album was a very, very average album from ARR FOR ME. I only liked Masakalli 
and Gendha Phool. And Gendha Phool eventually was not an ARR composition. So 
this only means i liked Masakalli out of all the numbers there. I just couldnt 
relate myself with the songs there. Nothing soulful in it for me to stick to 
it. Again, my definition of soulful could bring a different definition all 
together. 

Whats Delhi 6 in front of those gorgeous compositions in VTV, Ada and Yuvvraaj?

My most fav number in Thiruda thiruda. The singer has done wonders in the song. 
Its really sad that its her one and only song.  She has given new dimensions to

Re: [arr] Sify review VTV

they r hardcore Harris fan. I remember they were the 1st to report on 
Shankar-ARR break up back in 2003. And they were hyping on Anniyan allot. And 
how convenient it is that they r did not praise VTV songs at all in the review. 
Its ok, there r many websites giving positives review on the film already.

[arr] Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa has great chemistry

[Dinesh Scaran]

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya review
Movie
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya
Director
Gautham Vasudev Menon
Music
A R Rahman
Cast
Silambarasan, Trisha, Kitty, Babu Antony, Ganesh
 
By Moviebuzz
 
Three cheers to Gautham Vasudev Menon, the big daddy of romance is back with a 
bang! His Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (VTV) is pure magic. This one works and grabs 
us where it matters; VTV is straight from the heart.

10 years after his candy floss Minnale, Menon's VTV is a far more mature 
Valentine. The film is backed by awe inspiring performance and precisely one 
thing going for it and that's the chemistry between its lead actors 
Silambarasan and Trisha, Manoj Paramahamsa's eye-catching frames, great 
screenplay and a stunning climax that is riveting.

It is return of romance and will strike a chord with anyone who's loved and 
felt the unbearable anguish of loss, and knows the feeling that binds people in 
love together. Menon's creativity is completely home grown though it looks 
autobiographical.

Karthik (Simbu) a mechanical engineer dreams of becoming a film director meets 
Jessy (Trisha) a Malayalee Christian girl, an IT professional and it is love at 
first sight. She lives on the top floor with her strict father (Babu Antony), 
mother and an aggressive brother while Karthik and his family have rented out 
the lower portion of the house.

The first half is all about how he passionately woo her, follows her to Kerala, 
with his good friend Ganesh (Ganesh) a cameraman and his mentor who was 
instrumental in him becoming director KS Ravikumar's AD. Karthik's passionate 
wooing melts Jessy who finally succumbs to his ardent love. But her family and 
religion stands in the way of true love.

The romantic track is engaging because it's innocent, simple and the director 
nails it right. Silence convey so much more than irreverent banter, and nowhere 
is this more evident than in the interactions between Karthik and Jessy, whose 
romance is conveyed through their conversations, eyes and longing expressions. 
The credit goes to its lead pair who invests sincerity and genuine enthusiasm 
while attacking their roles.

However, VTV is not devoid of minor flaws. It has too many songs which are 
experimental and are non-structured that act as speed breaker. The pre climax 
song is unwanted, still "Hosanna.." and "Aaromale…" are the pick of the lot. 
The film at 2 hours and 35 minutes can be trimmed by at least 10 minutes in the 
second half to make it as racy and interesting as the first half.

Count among its major plus points- the technical wizardry of the film. Manoj 
Paramahamsa's camera and his colour combination especially the night silhouette 
shots in the backwaters have a touch of class. Art director's Rajeevan's choice 
of interiors and mixing it with the exteriors are brilliant. Antony's editing 
without using any gimmicks makes the narration silken smooth.

The film belongs to its lead actors. For sure, Simbu has come a long way from 
his finger wagging punch line spewing days. It's a joy to watch him in the 
climax scene when he speaks about his love by taking ordinary lines and 
delivering them so convincingly, and never miss a beat. His sheer agility in 
the romantic interludes, his composure, his dead pan humour and his tears in 
the climax are tangible and real, giving it a heart warming immediacy.

As a woman torn by the dualities of her existence, Trisha looks good and 
delivers her career best performance in a knock-out role. Her costumes, body 
language and gait changes as the story shifts from Chennai to New York via the 
backwaters of Kerala. There is a super cameo by Ganesh (one of the producers of 
VTV), which is earthy and outrageous as the cameraman friend of the hero and 
raises huge chuckles and the bar of the film.

The film is a must watch for those who cares for cinema of sense and substance. 
It stresses the fact that Tamil cinema has to break the mould if it aims to 
grab eyeballs. Gautham Menon has crafted a movie that will stay in our hearts 
for a long, long time.

Verdict- Very Good

Im so glad to see Delhi 6 nomination in all the music categories, but i was

dear vinu, as far as i rmemeber, its composed by Pravin Mani only. I remember 
ARR was busy that time and Shankar eventually got Pravin Mani to compose the 
song. Im not 100% sure. I heard even the Jail song was composed by Shankar

[arr] Re: One album that is completely perfect!

[Dinesh Scaran]

His most perfect latest album should be VTV. Classy and very mass. :) I never 
skipped any songs in VTV. Ofcource it doesnt fulfill ur criteria about its 
involvement in picturisations and all YET. For me, VTV has a special place 
close to my hearts.. :)

Re: [arr] What do all these ARR songs have in common?

[Dinesh Scaran]

Uyire Uyire from Bombay no doubt is 1 of my most fav love number from ARR. I 
feel it has the deep love yet painful feeling in it. Esp the second interlude 
and Chitra's magnificent vocal. Love how she goes " AdadaAdada... indre 
kanneerum thithikindrethey..." U just have no heart to stop the song anywhere. 
Vairamuthu lyrics is another plus point. "Kadhal Irunthal, yenthal Kannodhe 
kalanthe vidhe.. Kaalam thadethal, ennai maanoodhe kalanthe vide".

Just a perfect example of the extraordinaire combo of Mani Ratnam - ARR - 
Vairamuthu.

[arr] Re: ARR and IR's press meet after the announcement of PB awards

[Dinesh Scaran]

Guys, so IR never give any supportive answer for ARR. As far as i know, IR has 
never praised any Music director, not even his own sons. I guess thats his 
character. We should not speak ill of IR. Let him be as he is. As long he is 
happy with what he is doing, its great. ARR on the other hand has a very periya 
manase. He has no problem in praising any music director, even if they r a 
newbie. He has openly said he is afraid whether he could match with Gautham-HJ 
combo for VTV. I mean, he is a maestro, but he still could think such! We 
should be proud we r ARR fan. period. :)

Shahul, its true both the lines r not same. but the feel of the same vocal

dear Jaya, its known that Anbil Avan has gospel songs influence. Was mentioned

Re: [arr] Gautham-A.R.Rahman combo rocks!

[Dinesh Scaran]

Exactly guys, the visual + music is just mindblowing. I see another Mani-ARR 
combo with Gautham-ARR combo.

Manaf, actually i did. was expecting Madhushree atleast in 1 song, since it an 
ARR album. But as we know, Gautham is totally against using north indian 
singers. i remmeber Madhushree sang in Gautham's movie " 
Pacchaikilimuthucharam", but her version was not used and gautham asked harris 
to record the same song with Bombay Jayashree and used hers instead. Harris is 
kind enough to include Madhushree's version in the cd.
