one of my favorites songs. i dont know the name in hindi. sorry. but the flute 
in the song has its own voice and ... man, i cant express it in words. its way 
too beautiful. rahman is da best!!!

Re: [arr] Re: delhi 6

[Anish Gupte]

i agree with adithya completely...no amount of praise can be heaped upon
rehna tu...its about as 'vintage' as rahman can get.its really amazing
that the best song on a given album is always sung by rahman himself!!

Anish.

Doesn't sound harsh at all.  It's your opinion and I respect it.  Rehna Tu is 
one of my favorite songs from Rahman.

Re: [arr] Re: delhi 6

this may sound a bit harsh but i think rehna tu is the best work from rahman. 
the soothing voice, the delightful music, i have to say this is his best. there 
are many that come close, many, but rehna tu outshines them all.

[arr] Re: DELHI 6 all set to join '30 Crore Flop Club' ( SEMI ARR)

[rivjot]

What was movie's budget? It must surely have been less than 25 crore,
so how can it be flop?

I checked out wikipedia page of the movie for movie's budget and guess
what I read - 

"The movie was supposed to be released on February 13, 2009, but A. R.
Rahman's continued absence from the project led to a delay in the film
getting released. The movie's back ground score remained incomplete
and hence a delay in release by one week."

what rubbish..

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

[Jahanzeb Farooq]

you are right, the lyrics of Rehna tu don't make sense if meant for 
father-son relationship either. but here Rishi was not even his 
father. it was totally shocking, i never thought ROM will spoil it so 
miserably. i had lot of expectations from him, especially regarding 
the songs. he completely "destroyed" the song. shall i say this is the 
WORST picturization (or "placement" perhaps) of an ARR song ever?? 

though i had already mentioned this doubt after i saw Abhishek and 
Rishi on CD booklet, but that time i thought Rishi would be playing 
his father.

besides Rehna tu, he spoiled all the rest too. masakali is a good 
example. and why the hell to place Dil gira dafatan there when 
Roshan did not even start to fall for Bittu?? strange how terribly ROM 
got it wrong. i am feeling sooo angry.

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

[p_ramasamy2000]

I loved the movie actually... And abt Rehna Tu, it was a surprise 
element to me as it was sung to Delhi rather than lady love and on 
second thoughts I relaized that the lyric suit the city well too :-) It 
was an interesting decision...

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down - Taran gets it right most of the time

[sath.murthy]

I totally agree with you Pavan. He is almost 95% accurate about the BO
status of any hind movie. Taran wrote that Ghajini will break all the
previous BO records and we all saw that it did.

I remember he was wrong on other time.. i guess it was for Mangal Pandey
where he gave almost 4 stars (i think) and said that movie will do good.
but it bombed at the BO.

As i said earlier.. he is very good in analysing the BO performance of
any Hindi movie.

Sath.

well by wasted i mean un-noticed or un-celebrated, as bollywood has 
this tradition that music is appreciated, remembered, wins awards etc, 
only if movie is a hit (though there are few exceptions too, like Dil

I have seen it and I wouldn't say that ARR's work got wasted. All the 
songs are there, some in parts, some repeatedly.

ARR's music brings entertainment in the movie.

Of course the music didn't gel so well in the movie as does in a Mani, 
Shankar film. But everybody knows that. NOt only this director but 
several directors have failed here.

The placement of songs, there effect on the pace of movie, these all 
vary person to person. It was this director's film so he let his view 
prevail.

Nobody seeing the movie would be able to complain about the music. They 
would be thankful to ARR's music and would mention is as a single 
positive part of the movie.

I can say that I didn't find any single person complaining about D6 
music so far.

you are trusting the most horrible reviewer he gave Billu 3.5 movie

RDB was also trashed by the TRASH but it did score well. Trust me I

Taran gave RDB a rating of 2.5 out of 5...we know how huge hit was RDB..His 
reviews may be trash..but he is spot on when he talks about movie's fate at box 
office. The only time I remember him getting it wrong was for Rang De Basanti..

Hold on !!!
you are trusting the most horrible reviewer he gave Billu 3.5 movie 
shaved the box office. 
RDB was also trashed by the TRASH but it did score well. Trust me I 
have watched the movie and I liked it, just bcs I hate the typical 
Indian entertainment masala without sense. D6 is appealing and if you 
are careful you will definitely discover yourself. Good theme.

[jibandevta]

what disaster?..Just coming back from movie..a wonderfull movie
I should say..And Our boss rocks big time not only with songs but
with BGMs also..Those who want masala films should not waste
their time watching this film..and they have no right to comment
on such movies..this film categorises itself in different league..

Reviewers do their jobs bcoz they are earning..bad or good
they are gettinng paid for that..so they would not mind proclaming
good movie a bad one and vice-versa..better go and watch it!!

This is NON ARR thread which is leading to nowhere. Appreciate if you cut

He says ARRs music is outstanding. Going by your theory, hes being narrow

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

[balajirajagopal]

Guys - Lets be clear about one thing. Taran;s reviews are all based 
more from the Box office perspective while Rajeev Masand's reviews 
are based on a more holistic picture. Either ways, 8 out of 10 times, 
Taran has got it right in terms of the the possible box office 
performance of the movie. I dont like some of the comments Taran 
makes but that doesnt mean his box office performance reviews are 
thrash.

Anyways.lets hope Rajeev's review is better. 

Cheers!
Balaji

Re: [arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down - Another musical by ARR got wasted

I tend to disagree.. Another classic after RDB by Rakeysh Mehra and the
highlight of the film being A R Rahman's music ... Just got to see it

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

[raj_d_kumar]

i think we should change this Taran Adarsh name to " Trash An trash" . 
He just like the movies of SRK, Karan Johars aand Yash Chopra's... 

He just watch the good and intelligent movies with a narrow mind. and
when his fav makers make crap movies.. he use the double language like
" leave the brain at home and go and you will enjoy.. "

What kind of guy is this.. 

anyway .. 

ARR Rulez..

Hold on !!!
you are trusting the most horrible reviewer he gave Billu 3.5 movie 
shaved the box office. 
RDB was also trashed by the TRASH but it did score well. Trust me I 
have watched the movie and I liked it, just bcs I hate the typical 
Indian entertainment masala without sense. D6 is appealing and if you 
are careful you will definitely discover yourself. Good theme.

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

[rayrai2k]

I always read this guys name as Trash. But I now have no regrets 
calling him so. His review was expected and what more can be since 
theres no Yash / Karan / SRK. That alone is the reason for him to 
review so badly. Either he was all along drowned in his phone not 
paying interest to dialogs. What made him give 3.5 to Billu if D6 is 
1.5. 
Teri oonchi shaan hai maula
Meri arzi maan le maula
Tu hai sab kuch jaanne waala
Main hoon tera maanne waala
Kaise kaison ko diya hai
Aise vaison ko diya hai

D6 is definitely a very good movie after RDB. Just like the feel 
after watching the RDB first time, I walked with a thought would this 
sell. later every scene I recall is forcing me to watch it again. 
AB is not as great as seen in Yuva but is far better than any of his 
other work including Sarkar.

[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down - Another musical by ARR got wasted

[sath.murthy]

The trend continues. Like most of the times, whenever the music by ARR
becomes such a big blockbuster hit, the movie falters, and it falters
big time. I couldn't believe that Rakeysh also fallen like this with a
bad screenplay.

ARR composed gems for this movie, but now the film has been declared a
disaster. after Yuvaraaj, now its Delhi-6.

Sath.

[arr] Re: Delhi 6 inlay booklet?

[nivensamy]

I called my local rep for T-series, and he says that this is the only
package they receive, ie no booklet and no real mirror. I dont know
why T-series did not produce standard packaging. Cost issue??? anyway,
I will order from induna, but I mailed them asking for confirmation.
Hope they have complete cd n booklet.

[arr] Re: Delhi 6 inlay booklet?

[avyayan]

I got mine at Music World in Lifestyle, Hyderabad (was in India for a 
short visit). Not only did it come with the mirror, and lyrics 
booklet, it even had a bubble-wrap envelope (presumably to prevent 
the glass from cracking). Now that's what I call a package! Among the 
best designed CD packages ever!! (And obviously a prop for the Kaala 
bandar song)

Hi Gopal,

My CD has a mirror in the front.  Inside cover on the left has a photo
of Abhishek and Sonam and on the right, the CD itself with pictures of
red mirchis.  On the back cover, the track listing.  That's it.  Man,
do I feel cheated.

Re: [arr] Re: Delhi 6 inlay booklet?

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Does the packaging on your CD come with a twin fold - the CD in the centre with 
a fold on
either side?  The ones I have seen are just single fold - the CD slot on the 
right and the
mirror on the left. That probably explains the missing booklet... Trust 
T-Series to goof up
like this...

Is this a version of the CD that comes without a mirror in the front?  The 
copies that I have
seen all have the mirror in front and that version of the packaging does not 
come with an inlay
booklet..

Hey Gopal,

Funny you mentioned that.  I just received my copy of Delhi 6 from
Nehaflix in the mail and there was no booklet at all, not even an
insert!  Just some cheap packaging that looked torn.  I was so
disappointed.  For me, the artwork, lyrics and whole packaging is one
of the reasons why I buy the original CD.  I sent Nehaflix a message
about this.

FANTASTIC! Great CD artwork!  Love how Prasoon has given commentary on
each of the songs and the album as a whole.  Love how it says,
"Magical music by ARR"!  WHAT A SOUNDTRACK!  Can't wait to

[p_ramasamy2000]

I COMPLETELY AGREE. What a masterpiece!!! Tears rolled over as I
listened, or rather, melted into Arziyan. Every song is so deep,
emotion evoking, rich and fabulous! This new year couldn't have been
better. It's such an experience to simply melt into each and every one
of the tracks in this movie. Now, my contention that ARR should work
only with such caliber of directors (Rakeysh, Mani, Danny) is getting
stronger and stronger :)

I bow down to you sir. I grew with your music all these years, and
today, I feel myself at a totally higher plane, listening to this
masterpiece!

I am going mad over this :)

Happy melting,

[Chord]

Just heard from somewhere sometime next week.  As usual, another ARR
delay.  I should learn to just ignore release dates for ARR releases
as they almost never come true.  And for some reason, they happen more
often with ARR releases.

[arr] Re: delhi 6 tracklist out!!!

[Jahanzeb Farooq]

oh my, the albums looks such a treat with so many songs and range of 
music (can assume from song titles). i can see a number of new/unknown 
singers here. oh and i was thinking it is Shafqat Amanat Ali in Maula 
(Arziyan), did not realize it was Javed Ali (has he become ARR's 
favorite??). and good to see Rekha Bharadwaj, but for two songs, hmm. 
good to see Benny and Tanvi too, for two songs. annd fantastic to see 
ARR in Rehna tu.

It doesn't sound like Sonu's voice in the promo... sounds like Javed Ali & the 
alaap was definitely Kailash Kher...

I am extremely excited about the music prospects for this film. 

Storyline reminds me of Swades in a basic way.  It's a movie about

discovery, learning, etc., which would allow for some soulful, thought

provoking music, which is right up ARR's alley.  And with Mehra known

to give quite a bit of creative freedom to ARR from his RDB

experience, look out for a stunning soundtrack coming up.  We already

know that Amitabh Bacchan heard a devotional piece "Maula" and just

couldn't stop listening to it.  Movie is urban based, NRI

perspectives, which should allow for some great fusion.  This

soundtrack should be out next month if the movie sticks to its Feb 20

release. 



I don't want to raise too much expectations for myself, but I am

extremely, extremely excited about the music possibilities here.  And

good to know that Sonu Nigam is singing!
