Re: [arr] Re: Query about ATM and Sivaji(Hindi)
Sorry but this is a wrong information. Swanand Kirkire isn't doing the lyrics. He did only the dialogs in Hindi. This news is direct from Swanand Kirkire himself.

[arr] Re: Query about ATM and Sivaji(Hindi)
Swanand Kirkire (Parineeta, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Eklavya) is penning Sivaji in Hindi. I love his sense of wordplay, both delightful (Ek Theeki Theeki Si and Hum To Aise Hain from LCMD), and sombre (Laaga Chunari Mein Daag from LCMD, and Raak Akeli Hain from Parineeta). So pretty high hopes there. He did say in some interview that he's trying to grasp the intent of the Tamil lyrics and then convey it in Hindi. And as the songs are apparently being reshot, lip-sync may not be an issue. As for Ujjayini (or is it Ujjaini), I am still trying to ascertain whether she's the SRGMP Challenge 2005 finalist and Ek Main Aur Ek Tu winner. If so, yes, it's fantastic he's milking the shows cos they do throw up some outstanding talent, tv network's polling shenanigans notwithstanding! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "avyayan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Honestly I do not have any expectations of Rahman.

"Honestly I do not have any expectations of Rahman. I'm a devotee of Rahman, and take whatever he has to offer, as a boon." Kaissiom, I couldn't agree more. Rahman's music to me is like prasad, every second being pure nectar. Yes, perhaps that doesn't qualify me to be a critic of his music, but hey, I would take someone who's been unfailingly bestowing boons for 15 years over any darned critic. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "kaissiom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I had a couple of questions, please chime in if anybody knows. > > 1.

Very well said, Wasim about the expectations. I agree with you. I also hope they have good lyrics for hindi and think it's ujjaiynee only. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "kaissiom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I had a couple of questions, please chime in if anybody knows. > > 1.
