[arr] Do u feel other MDs have surpassed ARR?

2005-08-17 Thread stylegamer
I think so. Looking at the newer Bollywood dance songs of the 
millenium, i feel ARR needs to compete. I think it is the natural 
order of things.When someone like ARR invents a trend, It gets 
improved and may even get surpassed. It is like taking someone'a 
original idea which laid a foundation and improving upoun it till u 
get the credit for yrself. It musch works like business and commercial 
industry.

Intel invents a Multi tasking CPU in the 90s and AMD just joins in the 
fray trying to surpass Intel.

[arr] Stuffing songs in period movies.

2005-08-17 Thread Ashok Purohit



Guys, we know taht bollywood is incomplete without songs, but then thre are movies without songs. I personally feel MP could have been made without songs...background being necessary.
There are films like BLACK that did not have songs in teh movie, yet fared well at audience.
Situations are necessary for songs, and we cannot create situations in period or history moviesfact will remain fact.
Look at Asoka, where AM tried to push in "Aa tayar ho ja" which affected the film too much. Bereft the non-period like music, wrong situations doesnt really impresses audience. They are more interested in teh flow of the movie than unwanted songs.
Films like Lagaan demanded movies, it was more of a common man movie. And nobody's sure whether is was a fact or fiction.
No wonder, Mangal is doing well, but situations are to be looked at before introducing songs at some places.

Re: [arr] Aamir/A.R.Rahman factor

The Aamir-Rehman factor By IndiaFM News Bureau, August 8, 2005 - 00:31 ISTThey are prodigies. They are rare talentThey do far and few filmsBut what they do makes historyAamir and A R Rehman are similar in more ways than one. The two talents have come together for yet another time in Mangal Pandey. Rehman and Aamir earlier worked together in Deepa Mehta's 1947 Earth, later in Aamir's production, Lagaan. "Aamir was among the prime reason that I took on Lagaan. I admire the perfectionist in him" Rehman smiles and adds "He functions Hollywood style, where nothing is left to chance. When I am working with Aamir, I can be rest sure that the music will be promoted with great gusto. Unfortunately, that's not the case with many films" the elusive musician laments. "Ketan seems pretty happy with the way the music
 has turned for Mangal Pandey, I am not complaining either. Unlike my work for Bose, Kisna and Bhagat Singh, I hope the music for Mangal Pandey is well appreciated. But I am not too hassled because Aamir always stands by the music" Rehman tells us. Why this sudden skepticism about music promotion? we wonder. "Yes that is the case because I work really hard for the film and then when the music doesn't reach its audiences, it's disappointing. It happened with Kisna where the ballad `Hum hain Is Pal Yahan' was used as a flaky background score. I thought that was being a tad unfair to the song" the maverick musician voices concern. But Allah Rakha saab needn't fret, from what we hear, Kailash Kher's vigorous `Mangal, Mangal…' chant is echoing in every household.

Re: [arr] MP may be declared flop soon

2005-08-17 Thread raaja



may be, wht u saying is true... i went watch the here in Malaysia on Tuesday.. U noe something, there were only 4 person in the theatres include me.. 3 Malays and me.. no other Indians...Ajit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Mangal Pandey may flopSyed Firdaus Ashraf | August 17, 2005 16:59 ISTAamir Khan's historical epic Mangal Pandey, which released on August 12, is on the verge of being declared a flop. The collections have been sliding downwards since Tuesday. Mangal Pandey was released with over 600 prints worldwide and had a fabulous opening in city multiplexes. Unfortunately, it could not sustain and many theatres are running half-empty. "The collections have dropped by 50 percent from Tuesday and I think the film is a looser," says film trade analyst Komal Nahta. Costing Rs 500 million, Mangal Pandey is the most expensive film of 2005. Special: Showcasing Mangal PandeyThere were sky high hopes from the film, as it is Aamir Khan's big-screen comeback after four years. His last two releases Lagaan and Dil
 Chahta Hai were huge hits in 2001.Aamir, being the perfectionist he is, wore his hair long and grew a moustache to look his part. But it seems the effort was in vain."The subject of the film was not right to click at the box office," says Vinod Mirani, editor, Box Office. "Traditionally, historical films have not worked. Another problem was that the film could not generate patriotic feelings among viewers." Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan also tried their hand at patriotic films like Swades (2004) and The Legend Of Bhagat Singh (2002). Both sank at the box office.Critics felt Mangal Pandey's music and dialogues were poor. Besides, the first half dragged and youngsters could not relate to the 1857 uprising against the Britishers. "In cities like Rajkot, Jabalpur and the interiors of Uttar Pradesh, the collection was not more than 40 percent on the day it released. Today's youth are just not
 interested in such a subject," opined Mirani. "If the film is made at Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million), the distributor could lose upto Rs 20 crores (Rs 200 million)," says a trade analyst who does not wish to be named. However, producer Bobby Bedi claims Mangal Pandey is doing well. He expects sales to go down by 20 percent on weekdays but is hopeful as there is another long weekend coming up, thanks to Raksha Bandhan. "I have already recovered my cost and now I will rake in some profit as well," Bedi says.. Nahta claims the long weekend will not help Mangal Pandey rise. "The drop in collections from Tuesday was huge and there was no way the film will recover the money," he says.

[arr] Rediff reviews Ah Aah

2005-08-17 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Rahman returns to Tamil roots

Shobha Warrier | August 17, 2005 18:30 IST

Ah..AahA R Rahman's compositions in Tamil are few and far between. But as the 
saying goes,
absence makes the heart grow fonder. There is no decline in the enthusiasm of 
the masses when
it comes to snapping up a copy of his latest composition; which, in this case, 
is the music of
Ah..Aah, a film starring (and directed by) S J Suryah.

The album starts with a bang. Anbe…Aauyire, the first track, is sung by Rahman 
himself. While
his voice may not be a purist's cup of tea, there is a charm to the way he 
belts out songs.
After a couple of listens, you will start swaying to the beat almost 
subconsciously – such is
the magic that this track weaves.

After the exhilaration and heart-pumping action of the first track, the second 
track is a sea
change. It is a slow, melodious, romantic track – the kind that one doesn't 
particularly like
the first time around, but which gradually grows on you. In short, a classic 
filmi duet, sung
by Madhusri and Naresh Iyer.

Varugiraan is a pacy track, reminiscent of cinema from the 1980s. A track that 
is great fun to
hear, and surely even greater fun to dance to, primarily because of Hariharan's 
inspired
vocals. Chitra accompanies him, but somehow lacks the verve that Hariharan's 
voice seems to be
full of.

Ah..AahRahman continues to display fine form even with slow songs, as is 
demonstrated in the
next song. Starting off slowly, it picks up pace and sounds completely 
haunting, helped along
by an eerie quality to Sadhana Sargam's voice.

The next track, however, is the biggest letdown in the whole album. In the 
typically seductive
number, Shreya Ghosal exerts her vocal chords to the fullest, trying to sound 
sexy. It would
probably have worked, if it weren't for the fact that one has been immured to 
songs of this
nature, what with them featuring in every other Tamil film.

With Maramkothiyae, however, Rahman is back to his splendid best. Another 
typically peppy
number; it gets the listener's feet tapping to the beat in no time at all. This 
being the last
track, it leaves you happy, and eager for another listen. And maybe another 
after that.
On the whole, it may not be Rahman's best ever, but is definitely great in its 
own right. 

"We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the 
nation."
-John F. Kennedy

[arr] Re: song picturisations in Ah aah

2005-08-17 Thread kuttykothi
There is nothing in my previous message that says anything about the 
music being bad does it ? nor am i trying to degrade anything by 
saying the video looks bad for these songs, am i ? its just that its 
so irritating to see such a good song/music getting spolied due to 
the picturisation/choreography, this has happened before with quite a 
few ARR's songs hasn't it ? and especially 'Mayilriaghe..' such a 
beautiful melody i still haven't stopped listening to it from the day 
the music was released, believe me, choreography was horrible.
well i don't know about others and i'm not trying to discourage or 
anything and i'm not trying to spread false reviews i think every one 
is entitled to their own opinion. as i said, to me, from what i saw 
on TV, i didn't like what i saw.to each his own.i hope i am wrong and 
the song turns out to be a nice treat to watch.

[arr] [Semi-ARR] Mahabharat by ManiRatnam

2005-08-17 Thread eswar_bala
Interview with Bobby Bedi - Producer of The Rising 



Your next venture will be the Mahabharat.

It will be a Rs 300 crore mega project. Mani Ratnam will direct it.
Though there have been television serials on the Mahabharat, I still
feel there is space for my film. We will start work in 2006.
Meanwhile, I plan to take a well-deserved break.

[arr] MP may be declared flop soon

2005-08-17 Thread Ajit
Mangal Pandey may flop

Syed Firdaus Ashraf | August 17, 2005 16:59 IST

Aamir Khan's historical epic Mangal Pandey, which released on August 
12, is on the verge of being declared a flop. The collections have 
been sliding downwards since Tuesday. 

Mangal Pandey was released with over 600 prints worldwide and had a 
fabulous opening in city multiplexes. Unfortunately, it could not 
sustain and many theatres are running half-empty. 

"The collections have dropped by 50 percent from Tuesday and I think 
the film is a looser," says film trade analyst Komal Nahta. 

Costing Rs 500 million, Mangal Pandey is the most expensive film of 
2005. 

Special: Showcasing Mangal Pandey

There were sky high hopes from the film, as it is Aamir Khan's big-
screen comeback after four years. His last two releases Lagaan and 
Dil Chahta Hai were huge hits in 2001.

Aamir, being the perfectionist he is, wore his hair long and grew a 
moustache to look his part. But it seems the effort was in vain.

"The subject of the film was not right to click at the box office," 
says Vinod Mirani, editor, Box Office. "Traditionally, historical 
films have not worked. Another problem was that the film could not 
generate patriotic feelings among viewers." 

Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan also tried their hand at 
patriotic films like Swades (2004) and The Legend Of Bhagat Singh 
(2002). Both sank at the box office.

Critics felt Mangal Pandey's music and dialogues were poor. Besides, 
the first half dragged and youngsters could not relate to the 1857 
uprising against the Britishers. 

"In cities like Rajkot, Jabalpur and the interiors of Uttar Pradesh, 
the collection was not more than 40 percent on the day it released. 
Today's youth are just not interested in such a subject," opined 
Mirani. 

"If the film is made at Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million), the distributor 
could lose upto Rs 20 crores (Rs 200 million)," says a trade analyst 
who does not wish to be named. 

However, producer Bobby Bedi claims Mangal Pandey is doing well. He 
expects sales to go down by 20 percent on weekdays but is hopeful as 
there is another long weekend coming up, thanks to Raksha Bandhan. 

"I have already recovered my cost and now I will rake in some profit 
as well," Bedi says.. 

Nahta claims the long weekend will not help Mangal Pandey rise. "The 
drop in collections from Tuesday was huge and there was no way the 
film will recover the money," he says.

Re: [arr] Rahman's Amritanandamayee CD!!

2005-08-17 Thread Karthik S
The tape I saw had nothing...everything was attributed to 2 
photographs of the hugging saint. Thats it. Thankfully, they had 
a 'Vol 115' on the side sleeve and that could be the differentiator 
since one of the official sites mentions under 'Audio' - 'Cassettes' 
that they've more than 100 albums. But the site does not have any 
list you can choose from.

My guess is that they're all called the same...'Loka samastha sukino 
bhavanthu'! Lemme try to get a CD version of it if possible and rip 
the particular track.

Meanwhile could someone check with the Man himself about this 
curious association of his? That would sure send sales of this tape 
soaring, much to the ashram's surprise!

I don't think so. Not in the version I saw.

I think second stanza of Rasiya was cut.

Al madath maula was also shown half.

cassette had three versions of mangal mangal, and all were 
there in the film. However there was yet another appearance 
of a small part of mangal mangal in the film.

Could anyone mention whether his version had these things or 
not?

[arr] ARR wrapping up background score for Provoked

2005-08-17 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Ash's performance is mind-blowing
By Manissha Despaande, Bollywood Trade News Bureau
glamsham.com

Send Aishwarya Rai EcardsDirector Jagmohan Mundhra has clarified that Raju 
Kher's WOW, has no
similarity whatsoever to his forthcoming Aishwarya starrer, PROVOKED, based on 
Kiranjitsingh
Alhuwalia's life. "It is ridiculous that people are drawing parallels between 
the two films
without knowing their stories. The fact is that PROVOKED is a story on marital 
abuse based on
Kiranjit Alhuwalia's A CIRCLE OF LIGHTS, of which we acquired the exclusive 
rights. On the
other hand, from what I know of WOW, the film tells the story of three girls 
who go to London
to pursue their dream of starting their own music band. Anupam Kher helps them 
fulfill their
dream and offers them shelter at his home. The similarity is only to the extent 
that one of the
three girls in WOW has a story of marital discord. I am surprised that no one 
has bothered to
check out the facts either with me or Kher's office before writing about it," 
Mundhra reveals.

Mundhra recently wrapped up the shooting of the film and is now in Chennai with 
A. R. Rahman,
who is doing the background score for the Download Aishwarya Rai 
Wallpapersfilm. In fact,
according to Mundhra, Rahman was among the first few people besides Aishwarya 
Rai's father, who
saw the film and were totally impressed with her performance in it. "She has 
given a truly
exemplary performance. There's no trace of the Miss World and not even an iota 
of
self-consciousness in her effortless performance. Music director Rahman was all 
admiration for
her performance but the biggest compliment for Aishwarya was from her father, 
who was so
engrossed in the film that he almost forgot that it was his daughter who was 
performing on
screen," Mundhra recalled.

PROVOKED is being lined up for a mid-November release, according to Mundhra. 
"We are looking at
a huge international release for the film in conjunction with the 
distributors," he says. 

"We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the 
nation."
-John F. Kennedy

Re: [arr] Re: song picturisations in Ah aah

2005-08-17 Thread saraswathi suvarna

hi kartik

you are very right in saying. we have to wait and
watch before making any comments.

when the songs are too good, the picturisation has to
be good. without knowing the background we should
never criticize. is that ok friends.

Definitely all the songs are too good, especially the
title song by ARR and background by naresh iyer and
the mayilerage by naresh iyer who has sung well and he
being the new singer, we should encourage him and wish
him all the success.

[arr] "the music is tasteful": Toby Stephens

2005-08-17 Thread Krishnan Raghavan
http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2005/08/09/toby_stephens_the_rising_intervi
ew.shtml

He may be the son of Dame Maggie Smith, but Toby Stephens has proved 
he's an accomplished actor in his own right. In addition to a stint 
at The Royal Shakespeare Company, TV appearances have included 
Cambridge Spies, Perfect Strangers and The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall. 
He made his movie debut in Sally Potter's Orlando in 1992 and since 
then has appeared in Onegin opposite Ralph Fiennes, in Possession 
with Gwyneth Paltrow and then became the Bond baddie in Die Another 
Day. His latest role sees him play a British army officer alongside 
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan in The Rising - Ballad of Mangal 
Pandey, an epic musical about the Indian mutiny of 1857. 

For someone with a background in British theatre and television, it's 
quite a brave move acting in a Bollywood film. What made you accept 
the project? 

It happened really the same way as any other job happens. I got sent 
The Rising script by my agent, read it, and loved it. I then met with 
the director Ketan Mehta, auditioned on tape, and a month later he 
came back and offered it to me. I then met Aamir Khan who approved 
me. Next I waited nine months for the thing to get made. At one point 
I thought it wasn't going to happen. My American agent thought I was 
insane. I had just had the Bond film released and I knew I wanted to 
do something completely different and more challenging. I didn't want 
to end up playing baddies for the rest of my life, which was what 
Hollywood seemed to be offering at that time. 

Are you glad it did happen?

God yeah! For me it was a real experience. To make a film in India, 
work with Indian actors and filmmakers, and to experience the culture 
was extraordinary. The fact it was a historical film about the 
British in India and what happened there was a real eye opener. I 
went to public school and grew up with a sense of Empire even in the 
70s and 80s, and this gave me a different perspective. The idea of 
us, the British, being some sort of benign, educating force suddenly 
seemed to be a load of rubbish. It was a company running a country. I 
mean how twisted was that? It made me quite ashamed of our history. 

Tell us more about your character Captain William Gordon.

Gordon is a complex moral character. He's seen as a working Scot and 
a captain but that's as far as he's going to go in the military 
hierarchy. There's also a sense of him being an outsider looking in 
and beginning to question what the British East Indian Company is all 
about through his friendship with Indian infantryman Mangal Pandey. 
Just like Mangal Pandey was a real life historical figure, there was 
a Scottish captain named William Gordon who during the mutiny went 
over to the other side and fought against the British. He ended up 
dying on the walls of Delhi fighting against his own army. 

What message is The Rising trying to convey?

What's important about this film is that it's showing what happened 
in India. The veracity of whether there was any pig or cow fat on the 
kartoos (gun cartridges) is irrelevant (the Indian sepoys were forced 
to go against their religion and bite the casings of the cartridges, 
which later triggered the mutiny). What is relevant is that it shows 
that the British basically took over a country for commercial reasons 
and then rode rough shod over their belief system and culture. I 
think the Brits should look at it and say Christ, thousands of 
Indians and British died in the mutiny and its something we need to 
understand. 

What kind of research did you do have to do for your role?

I had to go away and read a lot around the subject of the Indian 
mutiny of 1857, which I really enjoyed. I love doing projects that 
are educating as well. It's up to the script writer and director to 
get the historical facts as right as possible, but as an actor I 
needed to know what it would have been like to be a soldier during 
that time, what my daily routine would have been, and just a sense of 
what we were doing in India at the time.

Although 70 per cent of The Rising is in English, there's a fair 
amount of spoken Hindi. How did you cope having to learn a new 
language? 

I learned tracts of Hindi and Urdu for my role. But the fact that I'm 
playing a Scottish officer who would have spoken the language with a 
bad accent certainly helped!

Did the fact that The Rising is a Bollywood film fascinate or 
frighten you? 

It was something that kind of made me nervous in the beginning. When 
I read the script and really liked it, the casting director, who was 
a huge fan of Aamir's, told me to watch Lagaan to give me a sense of 
what his work and Indian films are like. I was just blown away by it. 
I have to say I was very disappointed by the English actors in it as 
the Indians were damn good. I thought the Brits were a bit weak but 
think it was down to the way the characters were written.

How did you get on with your Bollywood

[arr] The Telegraph reviews "The Rising"

2005-08-17 Thread Krishnan Raghavan
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?
xml=/arts/2005/08/12/bfisland12.xml

The Rising (12A cert, 150 min)

Most Bollywood films I've seen throw up an exhausting avalanche of 
drippy kitsch. But Ketan Mehta's epic, a reconstruction of the 1857 
mutiny against British colonial rule in India, is a class apart: 
strong, stirring stuff, rarely flagging, and boasting terrifically 
charismatic performances. Aamir Khan is Mangal Pandey, a sepoy-turned-
freedom-fighter who martyred himself rebelling against the 
faithlessness and contempt of the East India Co. Toby Stephens, who's 
rarely been better, plays a well-meaning Scottish officer who gets 
caught in the middle. Mehta directs with striking verve, and AR Rahman 
makes the musical interludes diverting. It really is excellent.

[arr] Mangal Pandey broke even on the first day

2005-08-17 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Mangal Pandey broke even on the first day
Mid-day

Reports suggest that Mangal Pandey — The Rising has taken a drop from the fifth 
day
(yesterday). But facts and collection figures prove otherwise. The film is 
creating BO history
of sorts in USA, UK and Australia.

Every detail planned

Mangal Pandey was made at an approx cost of 35 crore. Says producer Bobby Bedi, 
“The way I do
my films, I don’t lose money on them. When the film is made at such a high 
cost, everything is
calculated right down to the last detail to ensure that it doesn’t turn out to 
be a loss-making
venture.

We broke even on the first day of the release with the large minimum guarantee 
deal with our
distributors in India, TV and overseas deals. How much profit the film will 
make, we will know
soon.”

Unsure about overflow

According to Bedi, the collection figures for the first week in India stand to 
amount to a
whopping, “eight to ten crore. It might run for a fewer number of weeks but we 
should’ve made
our money by then.”

Says Sahdev Ghei, Vice-President, Distribution, Yash Raj Films, “Mangal Pandey 
grossed 58 lakh
alone in Mumbai on the 1st day. I am yet to get the all-India figures, but on 
the first day it
opened to 95 – 100 per cent collections for the first four days.

Whether this will translate into an overflow for the producer, we will know in 
the following
weeks. The tactic nowadays is to flood the market with as many prints as 
possible to get in
maximum people into the theatres and we did this.”

Cashing in on weekends

The reason for a drop in the  collection on tuesday,” says  Taran Adarsh, is 
because, “It’s the
first working day after four days of holiday. All over the world, collections 
drop after the
weekend. It’s a normal trend ”

Bedi has a plan for that, “We will give schools concessions on the morning and 
daily shows.
This Friday is Raksha Bandhan and Saturday is Parsi New Year. So again, it will 
be a long
weekend, and we’ll capitalize on it. I postponed my film from June to August to 
capture this
time period.”

Reviews by the international press

1) This is film making in the tradition of Lawrence of Arabia (1962), and any 
cinephile will
find a panoply of delights in it.
By Jimmy Razor, FilmExposed.co.uk

2) The most ambitious crossover projects to emerge out of India in recent 
times. It succeeds in
entertaining and educating audiences about an important turning point in Indian 
history
- BBC.co.uk. Rating: 3 stars

3) Ketan Mehta’s epic, “The Rising —Ballad of Mangal Pandey,” is a kind of 
Bollywood
“Braveheart” as one courageous and doomed man confronts the might of the 
British Empire, plus
there’s singing and dancing. By Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter.

4) Bollywood cracks the epic code with “The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey,” a 
gorgeously
lensed, well-structured, audience-pleaser that harks back to classic Hollywood 
blockbusters of
the ‘50s and ‘60s.
By Derek Elley, Variety.com

5) The film succeeds in arousing nationalistic sentiments without getting 
jingoistic. The
Rising is a technical achievement par excellence. eFilmCritic.com.  Rating: 4 
stars

"We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the
