Re: [arr] Indiatimes Reviews Mangal Pandey the movie
Hai I do not agree with IndiaTimes comment on ARR's music. When i watched the movie BOSE-Forgotten Hero, the background music of our BOSS is so amazing but the cinematography is so poor doesn't give good justice for the great music. I believe the same happens here for our BOSS bgm in Mangal Pandey. Anyway i am planning to watch the movie on Aug 15th. --- Ajit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mangal Pandey': Will history repeat itself for Aamir? INDIATIMES MOVIES Rating: *** Cast : A amir Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Ameesha Patel, Toby Stephens, Coral Beed, Kirron Kher, Varsha Usgaonkar, Habib Tanveer. Crew: Director : Ketan Mehta Producer : Bobby Bedi, Deepa Sahi Music : A.R Rahman Lyrics : Javed Akhtar Director of Photography : Himman Dhamija Editor : Shreekar Prasad Screenplay : Farrukh Dhondy Stunts : Abbas Ali Moghul Choreography : Raju Khan, Saroj Khan, Sandip Soparrkar Costume Design : Lovleen Bains The four year long wait is over for the fans of Aamir Khan. And for them `Mangal Pandey' would be well worth the wait. He has excelled as always as Ketan Mehta's `Mangal Pandey'. The movie starts in an almost epic-like, grand fashion with an elephant giving a symbolic clarion call for freedom. It takes your breath away, but the pace of the story, especially in the first half (to set the tone) is a little long drawn. In the end, it is not a `Lagaan' (which the makers didn't want it to be anyway) meaning that in terms of entertainment value, it falls a star short. The film, set in 1857, is about Mangal Pandey, a sepoy in the British army. Revolving around this simple Brahmin, the movie unfolds the turbulent times and the happenings that changed the history of India. It shows the unrest brewing against the British who set up the East India Company as traders and finally settled down as rulers. It is also a platform around which the next century would revolve. The film also addresses a lot of factors like abolition of Sati and the caste system that created the mood for the restlessness among the Indians. Aamir's character evolves from a very simple, staunch Brahmin who is happy to receive his Rs 7/- salary from the British to a man who fired the imagination of a nation. Mangal shares a deep friendship with a British commanding officer, Gordon whose life he once saved. Though, he practices untouchability and maintains his Brahaminical faith, but time and again he shows that he would not tolerate any injustice done to his fellow Indians. He falls in love with Heera (Rani Mukherjee) a prostitute. He dares to visit her where only Englishmen, eunuchs and untouchables were allowed to go. What triggers off the revolt is the supposedly greased cartridges laced with cow and pig fat. To use them the soldiers have to bite into them to break the seal. When the regiment officer commands them to use the greased cartridge in their rifles the regiment refuses to do so. On Gordon's assurance that no animal fat is used in them, Mangal Pandey steps forward and uses them. Soon they discover the truth and Mangal feels betrayed and hurt. This toughens him to take a stand to lay his life for his country. He realizes that he was not fighting for his hurt religious sentiments but for his own freedom and for the freedom of his country. In the end he is shown smiling - unafraid of death. Coming to the much talked about look that Aamir worked on and gave 2 ½ years maintaining it, the long tresses and his moustache give him an uncanny resemblance to the sketches of the real life Mangal Pandey. Whether it's his uniform or his dhoti and the sacred-thread, there's authenticity written all over the film. As a staunch Brahmin, he is shown bathing in the Holy river, cooking his own food and wearing a caste-defining long red `tika'. He does not speak chaste Hindi as a Brahmin should, since he has not undergone any formal education. And yet, he is not the rustic that we saw in `Lagaan'; he is a much traveled man thanks to the movement of his battalion to various states. He has the capacity to think that if the struggle for freedom is launched at the same time in different parts of India the company would definitely loose the battle as the sepoys outnumbered the British. And Aamir plays that with his amazing repertoire of emotional intensity and talent. As always, Aamir scores a 10 for the sheer getting into character and dedication. Making that extra effort to define his role apart from a `Lagaan' set in similar era among the very same Britishers; the touch of `urbanisation' in character shows however subtly. For his character, Aamir has put on weight and made an effort to look older to give more gravity to the character of Mangal Pandey. He comes across as a serious guy throughout the film except when he along with Gorden under the
[arr] India FM reviews The Rising - 4 Stars!
While Rahman's music may not be ever-lasting, his background score has that international feel, befitting an epic By Taran Adarsh, August 12, 2005 - 09:30 IST An Aamir Khan film is special. And if the actor happens to take a [almost] 4-year sabbatical from work and returns with a period epic, MANGAL PANDEY, you wait with bated breath for the overtly choosy actor to mesmerize his fans and cinelovers yet again. Aamir's teaming with director Ketan Mehta as also producer Bobby Bedi, names synonymous with quality cinema, conjures images of an ambitious epic that could well be India's answer to the Mel Gibson classic BRAVEHEART. Talking from the economics point of view as well, there's a lot riding on MANGAL PANDEY. The stakes are high, the industry can't afford biggies to bite the dust. A slice of history that explores the mutiny of 1857, MANGAL PANDEY balances form and content beautifully. Lavishly mounted and recreating the era with precision, MANGAL PANDEY suits the term 'landmark cinema' and has all it takes to help Bollywood take a giant step into world cinema with pride. Ketan Mehta's execution of the subject leaves you tongue-tied, the visuals appear true to life, the performances [so essential in a film of this genre] are absolutely spellbinding, the sequence of events that led to the mutiny are carefully explained. Result: The viewer cannot help but get transported to an era when British ruled India. Recreating history is difficult and making you glued to your seats for the next 3 hours could be taxing if the content doesn't live up to your expectations. But MANGAL PANDEY talks about the martyr, his heroism, his contribution to India's freedom movement so effectively and immaculately that you can't help but salute the great freedom fighter. To sum up, MANGAL PANDEY is a brave attempt on the part of its makers to bring to life an important chapter from history. And make you realize that the freedom we enjoy today is only because of our predecessors, who gave their blood for the nation. The film succeeds in arousing patriotic feelings without a shred of doubt! Mangal Pandey [Aamir Khan] is an Indian sepoy serving Britain's East India Company. Mangal rescues his commanding officer William Gordon [Toby Stephens] on the battlefields of Afghanistan and the two men develop a friendship. The Hindi-speaking Gordon is sympathetic towards the locals, which is in stark contrast to most of his white colleagues. The story takes a turn when the British introduce a new set of rifles. To use them, the sepoys are required to bite the bullet. The paper cartridges encasing the gunpowder contain beef and pig fat. Neither Hindu nor Muslim soldiers are prepared to use the new cartridge on religious grounds. Trusting Gordon that the cartridges do not use beef and pig fat, Mangal bites the bullet, but when the sepoys learn the truth, Mangal revolts and leads a rebellion that sows the seeds for the end of the East India Company's reign. Attempting a period film in an era when the focus is on candyfloss, escapist cinema is nothing short of a challenge. It's a risk, as the storyteller just cannot deviate from history, indulge in cinematic liberties, throw songs whether or not the situations warrant them or try to balance serious with light moments. If you talk of national heroes, you ought to remain faithful to the subject-material. And that's precisely what Ketan Mehta does while narrating the story of a great freedom fighter. MANGAL PANDEY grips you from the very start. A number of sequences [screenplay: Farrukh Dhondy] leave you spellbound -- The very start of the film, when Aamir is being taken to the gallows. The fight between an English officer and Aamir, when the former forcibly tries to molest Rani soon after the mujra. Toby rescuing Amisha from the funeral pyre. The turning point of the film, when Aamir uses the gun cartridge that has been greased with cow and pig fat. Aamir angrily confronting Toby Stephens at the intermission point. Aamir facing the British army alone and when he realizes that he would be overpowered, trying to commit suicide by shooting himself. The sequence in the hospital, when Toby tells Aamir to apologize, but Aamir sticks to his stand. The finale, when Aamir is publicly hanged and a brief B W newsreel follows. Besides, the battle sequences [stunts: Abbas Ali Moghul] have been executed with flourish. Any loopholes in an otherwise perfect film? The songs seem forced in the narrative. Ideally, the film could've done with two songs, 'Mangal Mangal' and 'Teri Adaon Pe Main Vaari Vaari'. The Holi track as also the romantic song [filmed on Aamir-Rani, Toby-Amisha] can easily be deleted since they only act as barricades in the otherwise smooth narrative. Another drawback is that certain characters remain underdeveloped. The women don't have much to do in the film. Even the track of the maid [Mona Ambegaonkar], who feeds

[arr] Rediff reviews Mangal Pandey: History comes alive
The Rising: History comes alive Lindsay Pereira | August 12, 2005 12:35 IST Aamir Khan is a rabble-rouser. It's a role he has mastered to perfection. His nostrils flare up, eye sockets pop and righteous indignation spills across the screen. It's no surprise, then, that it is this Angry Khan plastered on all posters for Mangal Pandey: The Rising. Luckily for him, as well as his audience, the rabble-rousing works. He did it in Lagaan. He does it again here. Only this time around, he's better dressed for the occasion. The difficulty with historical epics like Mangal Pandey is that everyone knows how they're going to end. There may be twists and turns, but we know who's going to hit the bucket. All we can do is wait, patiently, for the denouement. Which is where Ketan Mehta's skill as a director comes to the fore. From the moment the film begins -- a coloured lithograph morphing into a real-life setting on the banks of a river -- you know you're in safe hands. Mangal Pandey: The Complete Coverage That feeling is reinforced when confronted with certain scenes like the attempted burning and eventual rescue of a sati (Amisha Patel) from the hands of a fanatic mob. She sits motionless, cowed by religion or opium, until the heat of the flames brings her to her senses. Then she shrieks, tries to get off the pyre, and is forcibly kept on by men wielding sticks. It's then you realise Ketan Mehta is a man who believes in doing his homework. It is the year 1857, and India is firmly under the rule of the British East India Company. It has been in control for a century now, and the cracks are beginning to show. Resentment is widespread, and the introduction of a rifle with cartridges supposedly coated in animal fat only makes things worse. The setting is perfect for a hero to make an appearance. Enter Mangal Pandey. Mehta's palette is huge; his colours, well defined. He takes a good history lesson and gives it shades all his own. Holding this lesson up is the friendship between Pandey (Khan) and British officer William Gordon (Toby Stephens). Pandey the sepoy saves Gordon's life during an earlier war in Afghanistan and earns his respect. Soon, they are as close as an Englishman and Indian can be, getting into friendly bouts of wrestling, playing pranks on British officers, drinking bhang and roaming the streets singing bawdy songs. It is the Enfield rifle that causes a rift. Gordon believes the greased cartridge story is a rumour. Pandey trusts him and uses the cartridge, risking defilement. When the rumour gathers momentum, he accuses Gordon of treachery, then decides to take on the Empire. From a minor standoff, a rebellion begins to take shape. Running between these two narrative points are other sub-plots. The sati -- aptly named Jwala -- is rescued by Gordon and promptly falls in love with him. Pandey, on the other hand, gets weak-kneed when confronted by a nautch girl called Heera (Rani Mukerji) who somehow manages to conduct a mock marriage ceremony with him before he is hanged. Yes, there's no escaping the mock-marriage scene in our historical epics either. Mehta understands that what the British referred to as the Sepoy Mutiny was actually India's First War of Independence. He knows when to let the songs flow, when to reign in the strings. He is also a master of what literary critics call 'the objective co-relative', often using the external landscape to reflect a character's inner turmoil. Yes, there are incongruities. The Englishman's love for a sati, for instance, or the idea of a commanding officer and sepoy having a boy's night out. There's also something strange about a righteous Brahmin like Pandey taking on his superiors over a religious issue while carrying on with a casteless whore. Then, there's that little matter about his public execution -- not quite plausible considering he was hanged quietly, 10 days before the actual date, to help the British avoid any unrest. There are also unfinished tales -- of Jwala, Heera, Kamla (Mona Ambegaonkar) and Gordon's first English flame, Emily (Coral Beed), along with other annoyances such as Gordon's often indecipherable Hindi, the damage done to the narrative pace by switching from English to Hindi, and Om Puri's deadpan, schoolteacher drone explaining things as if to an audience collectively afflicted with Down's Syndrome. Taking pot shots at these issues is easy. It is the larger picture that demands attention. Like the fact that a talented director and equally talented cast manage to make you sit through three hours of cinema despite your being more than well-acquainted with the plot. The stuff of Bollywood is all in place -- colour, music, the obligatory Holi number, men refusing to die from bloody wounds. It's the themes that carry this one through. When a wounded Pandey tells Captain Gordon, 'We are all untouchables,' you realise Mehta has managed to depict a man coming to terms with personal
[arr] A R Rehman a short cut to the Oscars?
Hey everybody Must Read , Article on Our BOSS and OSCAR :) After an interval, A R Rehman is again composing music for a Hindi film 'Khazan' produced and directed by Tanvir Ahmed. The film aims to make it to the Oscars. A mix of sex and crime, with a bit of Hitchcock thrown in, the film is to be shot mostly in the Kottayam area of Kerala. The rest of the film is to be shot in Goa. This month, 'Mangal Pandey' is being released. It has music composed by A R Rehman. For the past 4 years, Aamir Khan has not worked in any other film but 'Mangal Pandey.' One could say that his 'Lagaan' barely missed winning an Oscar. So Aamir is all the more determined to win an Oscar this time at least. One important reason for 'Lagaan' getting near an Oscar is the music by Rehman. To get an Oscar nomination, one needs to give proper film publicity to the jury members. For 'Lagaan,' Aamir Khan spent an astronomical sum for publicity purposes. If A R Rehman's music makes a film a contender for the Oscars, then anyone aiming for the Oscars, makes a beeline for A R Rehman. We are indeed proud that Bollywood thinks our A R Rehman is a short cut to the Oscars! Enjoy Sakeena :D Yahoo!

[arr] Mangal Pandey gets historic opening, set to break all box-office records
Aamir Khan's 'Mangal Pandey - The Rising' opens to full houses in India Mumbai, Aug 12 (ANI): The much awaited Aamir Khan-starrer Mangal Pandey- The Rising released today to full houses across the country. There was expectedly a rush fo tickets at most cinema halls in the country, given that Khan is appearing on screen after a gap of four years.Going by the unprecedented advance booking, the movie is set to break all box-office records. With Mangal Pandey, which is based on the theme of patriotism similar to what was shown in his previous movie Lagaan, Khan will again be seen taking on British colonial rulers. Exhibitors are reported to be in a jubilant mood over the film's release.The film, which is released with a record number of 400 prints plus all over India, has generated a big pre-release craze, with tickets for all theatres and multiplexes sold out for the first four days of the film. In order to accommodate the extraordinary demand for tickets, the cinema hall managers have scheduled the film in a record number of shows. They have been having a tough time coping with the demand for tickets ever since they opened the advance booking for it on Monday. Because of the fact that the next week-end is a festive season with Independence Day, Raksha Bandhan and Parsi New Year, falling one after the other, everyone is expecting the theatres to be packed to full capacity in the coming two weeks. It is a period film based on the historic mutiny of Indian Soldiers in 1857. Besides Aamir Khan, who is playing the title role, the film also has the country's latest queen bee, Rani Mukehrjee and would have been a sort of a casting coup if Aishwarya Rai had played a part, which is now being played by, Amisha Patel. Other stars include foreign actor Toby Stephens. The producers of the film are Bobby Bedi and Deepa Sahi, besides her director husband Ketan Mehta. The public is also reported to be looking forward to seeing the movie because of its elaborate costumes and opulent sets, reflecting 19th century India. Music maestro A.R. Rahman and the veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar have scored the music and lyrics of the movie. (ANI) http://in.news.yahoo.com/050812/139/5zp0r.html We neglect our cities at our peril.

[arr] Mangal Pandey: None of the songs, except Mangal Mangal, are any good
Thanda matlab Mangal Pandey Audiences said they would return for another viewing, only because of Aamir Its finally here the film that everyones talking about. The film for which Aamir Khan grew his hair and moustache; the film from which Aishwarya Rai was dumped; the film that was expected to be worth every bit of the four-year-long wait since Aamirs last release. But does Ketan Mehtas, Mangal Pandey The Rising, live up to all the expectations? We were with the audience yesterday evening at the films premiere at the Inox multiplex at Nariman Point and the initial response seemed just like Aamirs favourite cola thanda. Audience restless Aamir Khan and his Rising gang greeted the theatre crowd before the film began, saying, Weve put in a lot of effort in the film. But that didnt really matter to the audience who seemed quite restless in the first half, with some people even walking out during the films songs. Aamir plays the lead role of the revolutionary, Mangal Pandey, who, in his own way, triggered a mutiny among the Indian sepoys working for the British army in 1857. The add-on characters come in the form of English actor Toby Stevens who plays Gordon, a kind-hearted British officer and Heera (Rani Mukherjee), a prostitute Mangal falls in love with. Boring, too long Says 21-year-old Akash during the intermission, The impact is not even half as good as Lagaan. The story drags and becomes a bore. His friend, Nirmal, adds, The look of the film is also very artificial. It doesnt look like the film is based in 1857. It looks more like a costume drama. A R Rahmans score seems to have come in the line of fire yet again. None of the songs, except the soul-stirring Mangal Mangal, are any good. In fact, they detract from the film, states Monisha, who came to watch the film with her sister. Some feel that the films length (18 reels) is the main culprit. Nowadays, were used to seeing films that are short and snappy, says Uttam Chand Sahni, who drove from Santacruz to watch the film. But great climax But there is a silver lining to this cloud too. The climax was very good. Aamir was exceptional in the last 30 minutes, says Raj. His colleague, Dominic, adds, The last scene of the film, where Mangal Pandey is hanged publicly, has a solid impact. Adds Sujal, while walking down the stairs after the film is over, Why did Aamir have to wait for four years for this film? Its not Rising, its surprising. But Kanika cant stop gushing about Aamir, Hes just outstanding. Im going to see the film again, just for him. Her sister Lata adds, He makes the film much better than it actually is. The fate of the film will only be decided after the long weekend is over, but right now, its running to packed houses all over, with the film getting a record-breaking initial all over. Aamir Khans charisma has drawn in the crowds for sure. The crowds just have to last. http://web.mid-day.com/news/city/2005/august/116045.htm We neglect our cities at our peril.

[arr] MANGAL PANDEY IS OK.
Hey guys. Saw the movie first day first show. The movie is good but not extraordinary.Aamir Khan is the only reason why one can watch the movie. He is brilliant through out. This movie was so hyped and aamir had not been seen for four years is quite surprising I must say. Coming to the music.ARR is just brilliant but one gets the feeling that none of the songs were required.Infact the most disappointing was takey takey.The picturisation was ridiculous and was nothing what we expected. Also it was hardly a couple of minutes.Al Madath Maula was also very short.Rasiya was awesome(Man ,she is hott!!).Main Vari Vari was kinda ok.Holi song was very boring and also was not required. Overall Ketan Mehta could not justify for these master pieces. But hey some scenes in the movie were real gems. The last half an hour or so will truly move you. Toby Stephens is also brilliant in the movie. The most irritating part in the movie was the elephant and the folks on it singing the mangal mangal song. (Its like wherever you go the elephant follows!).And at the end rani mukherjee goes to fight which was very silly. Nevertheless a great effort by the team. Go watch it once, but dont expect too much. I thought the movie lacked the quality that was in lagan or swades.But again Aamir Khan is the entertainer. Just awesome. Also there wasnt much of background score except for a few samples here and there, good ones and the closing credit music was great.Overall a decent movie which should be watched.

[arr] Arrfans.com - Updates - Lot of work to be done...
Hello dear Rahmaniacs, The site will have the following sections. Their status: Main Page: 100 % Biography: 100 % Articles: 100 % - Music Reviews: 100 % Albums (Discography): 80 % More: 20 % - Downloads: 75 % - About Us: 0 % - Support Us: 0 % - Search: 90 % - Contact Us: 100 % - Misc ... 0 % So, the main sections are almost completed. My classes begin on 21'st Aug and I will be extremely busy in the upcoming week. I still have to do a lot of work. Moreover, I have technical problems with the PERL modules installed on the server. Especially, the IMAGE::MAGICK (mind the 'K') module that dynamically creates thumbnails for uploaded album images. (I cant manually edit each and every album image with photoshop !). Please, if someone from the group is familiar with PERL module installation, contact me ASAP. I cannot project the date of release but I will do my best to make this dream come true. A little secret that I need to vent out - I will be posting a proposal for official editors for the site in next few weeks. I need support of a few dedicated fans in this group who can contribute some time (very little). More details coming soon... Unfortunately, the server will be upgraded in October since the lease term ends in September 2005. But I guess, it wont be a big issue as far as launching the site is concerned. I need your support. Please post any comments/suggestions. Long live ARR !

I've read many discussions about ARR in this group and I feel extremely happy and proud to be a part of this Ardent fans of our Boss, A R Rahman!!! I have met ARR twice in my life (till now). I will share those precious moments with you all. #1) I had been at the India Pistols ground, Chennai, on the rehersal night before the Unity of Light programme on Feb 21,2003. Our Boss came down from the stage (for his dinner @ 11:30 PM) and went into a small tent behind the stage. Me and my brother followed him behind the stage and waited outside the tent for more than an hour to see him closely. Finally he came out of the tent and gave his Dharshan. It was his greatness to put his Autograph on a visiting card !!! #2) There was a function last month to honour the legend music director of 60s/70s in Tamil - M.S.Viswanathan. Maestro Illayaraja also presided. Newspapers gave advertisments that our Boss would also come. But I thought, he would'nt come, amidst his tight schedule. But to every one's surprise, he came to the stage and there was a lot of Buzz after his arrival. (I will describe the speeches of people on the dias and our boss in my forthcoming mails). And now comes the interesting part.. I wanted to take a snap standing near our Boss. Inspite of very tight security, me and my brother, squeezed on to the stage and succeeded in taking snaps, standing besides him. Wow !!! What a moment it was.!!! (I feel, the above two points qualifies me to be in this group !!!). Right.. I have a suggestion now. Why don't we host an official dedicated website for our Boss ???. For instance for Illayaraja, there is a very professional website: www.raajangham.com. It has lot of articles, samples, News about Raja. For Superstar Rajnikanth, there is www.rajnifans.com. Here, it has stylish video clippings from his movies. Why don't we have these kind of a site for our boss ??? Please pour in some ideas how we can go about this. I am sure, we the hardcore ARR fans, can definitely make it happen !!!
