Controversial 'Water' to open Toronto film festival 



By Jeffrey Hodgson Tue Jun 28, 6:37 PM ET 

TORONTO (Reuters) - Deepa Mehta's "Water," which triggered violent protests and death threats when it began filming in India five years ago, will open the Toronto International Film Festival, organizers said on Tuesday. 





The film, which is set in the 1930s and deals with Hindu child widows, beat out movies by better known Canadian filmmakersAtom Egoyan and David Cronenberg for the prestigious opening slot.
"Water" gained notoriety in 2000 after hard-line Hindu protesters burned its sets in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, saying the film distorted Indian culture.
Mehta, an Indian-born Canadian citizen, received death threats and had to abandon the production.
"It had started becoming more about doing the film at any cost, which is not healthy for the film, so I said 'stop'," she said.
"The film is absolutely not anti-Hindu ... the script was read and passed by the very government that protested, so you wonder about that."
After taking a break, during which she made romantic comedy "Bollywood/Hollywood," she filmed "Water" in Sri Lanka.
"Water" completes a film trilogy that includes "Earth" and "Fire." "Fire," which portrays a lesbian relationship between two Indians, was temporarily pulled from distribution in India after theaters showing it were attacked.
Mehta said she is frustrated that when discussing the controversies, people assume she is broadly criticizing the country she was born and raised in.
"When I talk about it, people think that I'm talking about Indians. It's not that. It's a group of Indian fundamentalists, which is not India. India has been very supportive of me," she said.
The director said she was shocked and thrilled when she found out on Saturday that the world premiere of "Water" would kick off the Toronto festival, often ranked with Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Sundance as one of the world's most influential. It runs from Sept. 8 to 17.
"I'm in good company. Atom and David are filmmakers I respect and admire deeply, so I feel doubly thrilled," she said."We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the nation."-John F. Kennedy

prodigious technique and deep understanding of diverse Gharana 
styles. His open mind has led to an extension of his musical horizon 
to incorperate imaginative experiments in world music styles that 
delight the young and the old. He has performed all over the world, 
in prestigious music concerts and festivals. Among several acrolades 
and awards, he has been awarded the titles SUR RATNA, SURMANI, 
JADUBHATTA PURASKAR, SANSKRITI AWARD, for excellence in music 
performance. Niladri continues to excel and grow as a muscian.

Hi Rahmaniacs,

In Bangalore Radio City is a very popular and know FM radio station which conducts a poll on "Who is the best music director of the century? - RD Burman or AR Rahman"

And you know RD Burman got 45% votes whereas our boss AR Rahman got 55% 

It's good to know and to be pride that AR Rahman has got more polls than RD Burman who is the best known music director for 4 decades.

 hi guys
 
 childhood of ARR found on a website. 
 
 Abdul R. Rahman was born A.S.Dileep Kumar on the 6th of January in 
the year 1966, in Madras, to a musically affluent family. His father 
R.K.Sekhar was an arranger and conductor in Malayalam movies and had 
worked under the likes of Salil Chowdhary and Devarajan. Dileep 
started learning the piano at the tender age of four. At the age of 
9, his father passed away following a mysterious illness with 
rumours abounding that he was the victim of black magic by his 
rivals. The pressure of supporting his family fell on Dileep. At he 
age of 11, he joined Illaiyaraja's troupe as a keyboard player. It 
was his mother Kareema Begum who encouraged him to follow in his 
father's footsteps. But all this had an adverse affect on his 
education. Infrequent attendance and an unaccommodative management 
forced him to shift schools from the prestigious Padma Seshadri Bal 
Bhavan to the Madras Christian College and finally he dropped out of 
school altogether. 
 
 cheers

[arr] Tribute to Rahman's mother and late father

2005-06-29 Thread Ajit
Hello ARR fans,

As his fans, we appreciate Rahman and his music to such an extent that 
cannot be described in mere words.  He and his music have captured our 
hearts, minds, and souls.  His music and the message behind his music 
have transformed our lives in such positive ways.  

We should remember that not only did Rahman's parents give life, they 
were crucially instrumental in influencing Rahman's direction in life 
as a musician.  Not only did Rahman choose to follow in his late 
father's musical path, his mother also encouraged him in that direction 
despite very tough circumstances following his father's death. 

I feel that we should be grateful for his parents' positive influence 
on Rahman pursuing music as a career and instilling great values and 
depth.  His mother specifically deserves great recognition for her role 
and raising him well and encouraging him rise to great heights as he 
has done so today!

[arr] Australia concert info....

http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=ARRAHMAN05searchId=424683

Qantas SigaramTV A.R. Rahman 3rd Dimension Tour 2005

Bollywood Storm hits Australia 



- 
Experience a spectacular Bollywood concert featuring A.R. Rahman, the leading name in Bollywood music today.

- 
Enjoy a night of lively dance, vibrant music and vivid colour in true Bollywood (Indian) style.

- 
Encounter the Third Dimension! Be a part of the first A.R. Rahman show presented in 3D, which enables the audience to feel closer to the on-stage action.

- 
Assist destitute children in India through CHARINDAA, an Indian-Australian not-for-profit organisation that aims to deliver all of its profits to notable charities.
This will be the biggest Bollywood show that Australia has ever seen!
A.R. Rahman is unquestionably the foremost name in Bollywood music today. 
"Melodic genius" was an admiring comment from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on A.R. Rahman and his music. Rahman's recent achievement has been to create fresh, unconventional and vibrant music for Webber's Broadway staged "Bombay Dreams" - a tribute to the Indian movie musical. Rahman's international reputation as a creative composer has since grown and he has accepted to compose music for the theatre production of "Lord of the Rings".
The Qantas SigaramTV A. R. Rahman Tour of Australia provides an excellent opportunity for Australian audiences to hear, to see and to be a part of the best Bollywood extravaganza - a showcase for the talent of the 50 plus artists and dancers from India including Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan, Sadhana Sargam, Alka Yagnik, Chitra, Kailesh Kher and Sivamani.
Each patron will be provided with a pair of 3D goggles on entry to the concert. Patrons can view and listen to the concert like any other live concert. Patrons may also wear the glasses and experience the feeling of being close to the artists. When asked about the 3D concept in a media interview on Monday 13 June, A. R. Rahman said "This is a new concept and the best way to experience it is to come and watch the show and see for yourself"!! 
CHARINDAA is proud to be associated with A.R. Rahman as he is involved in several charities and has recently taken up the position of United Nations Ambassador for the fight against tuberculosis. 
The concerts in Australia are being organised by CHARINDAA to raise funds for Udayan, the Child Leprosy Centre in Kolkata, India. Steve Waugh, former captain of the Australian Cricket Team, is the Chief Patron of Udayan. Steve Waugh proudly supports the "Qantas SigaramTV A. R. Rahman 3rd Dimension Tour of Australia" and has promised to attend at least one concert of the Tour.
