[arr] Rashtrapathi Bhavan Plays Rahmans'

2006-03-20 Thread Shah Navas G



http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=16696 .Performing
Art and Rashtrapati Bhavan

    The Mughal Gardens in Rashtrapati
Bhavan with all their flora are a treat to the human mind but its beauty
doubles whenever a cultural programme is organized in the Central Lawns. We
organized a Violin and vocal recital by Dr. L. Subramaniam, a Flute recital by
Pt. Hari Prasad Chaurasia and very recently we had a jugalbandi between Ustaad
Bismillah Khan and Dr. Soma Ghosh, a vocalist. On these occasions, I felt that
the Gardens looked beautiful under the spell of music. To ensure that the magic
of music continues to be there in the Gardens on all days, a Musical Fountain
has recently been added to the Mughal Gardens, where the fountains dance to the
tune of Ustaad Bismillah Khan's shehnai, Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma's Santoor, the
music of A. R. Rehman and Shri Duraisamy Iyengar's Veena. I really believe that
without music, dance and theatre the world would not be the sameRegards,Shah Navas

[arr] Flute piece in Ratchakan missed !!!

2006-03-20 Thread sreehari nair



Hi ppl      On of our friends had posted high quality files of flute pieces of our Boss. It was absolutely stunning. The more i listen to the flute renditions, the more i am forced to trace my collection and play them again and again. Today morning I was listening to the song 'mercury pookal' from Ratchakan. There  is a superb flute piece (pls correct me if its not a flute) somewhere in the second minute (again i might be wrong).      I would be glad if someone could rip the part and add it our library.      Thanks  Sreehari

I would pray ARR & god for the boss accepting this project.
I might not sound wrong if I say Bangalore is the second largest in
the fan base for ARR after Chennai. Also since its Punit RK's movie
its well in production so far and all movies did well. Be it what ever
I would only like to hear & watch ARR's music. 
God bless us for hearing ARR's music in Kannada.

last week. To be produced in Kannada, the film is to be directed by
Pratap Pothen, while talks are on with AR Rahman to score the music
for the film. The film is yet to be titled and the heroine is also
being finalised. The industry buzz is that Ramya is being considered
for the role as the producers had expressed their liking for her after
watching her in Akash. Meanwhile, Puneet seems like one happy man.
“I’m fortunate to have been part of good projects and will
continue doing good work in future too. Yes, talks are on with a big

[arr] Query for new singer

2006-03-20 Thread Ashok Gandi



Folks,     I know a friend and a singer by name Nihal who is upcoming and sang in some telugufilms. One song which became an instant hit was "Oohala pallikalo" in Chitram. The music was by RP Patnaik. Recently he sang in Jai Chiranjeeva starring Chiranjeevi and the track is Thumbs up thunder. He has a PG in classical music and is from Tamil nadu.     His dream is to sing in ARR's composition. Can anybody let me know how to get ARR's  contacts OR what is the best approach for him to accomplish his dream?     Please help an upcoming singer in this tinsel world and we all may witness probably one of the best singers in the future.     Will be waiting for an answer on this..     Take care,     Ashok.

[arr] Question about ARR's hand gesture in Talk Asia show

2006-03-20 Thread Ajit
As I was finally able to watch the Talk Asia show, I noticed during the 
interview when Rahman was talking about his father and a couple of 
other serious topics, he put his right hand on his left shoulder and 
looked down a bit for a few seconds. Does anyone know if this is 
something religiously related or just something random that he did?  
Please forgive my ignorance if I am not able to interpret this, but I 
was just curious.

[arr] Richard Corliss on LOTR

2006-03-20 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Gandalf in Greasepaint
  The Lord of the Rings musical (yep, musical) moves heaven and Middle-earth to 
do the trilogy justice
  By RICHARD CORLISS/TORONTO
   
In eerie strobe light, a black rider rears its steed (a man and puppet on 
stilts), sending fearful hobbits scurrying. Dead men rise from the Marshes (a 
roiling silver sheet) to make war against Sauron's legions. In the Mountains of 
Moria, Gandalf battles the enormous Balrog (an Erector-set confection with 
steaming orange eyes) as the sound effects roar and a strong wind gusts from 
the stage, spraying the audience with a blizzard of black confetti. As for 
Frodo, he not only lives, he also sings in the new version of The Lord of the 
Rings, opening this week at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto.
 A stage musical of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy saga? Good Lord, why? Well, for 
starters, because the original three-volume story was filled with music--more 
than 50 songs that added levity and lyricism to the military drumbeat of its 
narrative. And also because: Why not? LOTR is certainly an alluring franchise; 
it's one of the most popular and beloved works in publishing history and 
(sorry, George Lucas) the all-time top-grossing movie trilogy. So producer 
Kevin Wallace raised about $24 million, from private and Canadian government 
sources, to mount a 3 1/2-hr. epic--the longest musical this side of 
Wagner--and the most expensive Broadway-style show ever, though it's at least 
two years from playing New York City.
 The preparation for a typical musical has its familiar anxieties: cutting a 
favorite song, replacing a dialogue scene, finding some extra business for the 
star. That's nothing compared with the three-year ordeal of bringing 
Middle-earth to life. The mostly British creative team, beginning with 
playwright Shaun McKenna, had to figure out how to choreograph the complex 
battles Tolkien described; how to visualize the dozen realms in the saga and 
the dozens of characters of many species; how to blend narrative, drama and 
music in a three-act production--and do it all without retakes or 
post-production computer effects. Most daunting was the task of satisfying all 
those Tolkienites whose image of Middle-earth has been shaped by many readings 
of the sacred text and latterly by Peter Jackson's Oscar-laden film versions.
 If it occurs to you that the idea is mad, you aren't the first. "I thought it 
was foolish," said director Matthew Warchus. He believed it would be "instantly 
plausible" to do the Ring as a spoof. "It's such an earnest story, and people 
are so protective of it." Still, he signed on. Then he and musical supervisor 
Christopher Nightingale chose to break with the Broadway songwriting style and 
go for an ethereal, world-music sound. Two sounds, in fact: one from A.R. 
Rahman, the best-selling composer of Indian musical films; the other from the 
Finnish group Värttinä.
 That produced a fascinating musical fusion, but it didn't allay the doubts 
that most of the creators had, straight through rehearsals, about their quest 
and their sanity. Says set and costume designer Rob Howell: "Every other day 
one of us was wondering out loud, 'What. Are. We. Doing?'"
 What they have done, as a visit to the show in its last week of previews 
revealed, is to create a robust summary and emotional evocation of the 
story--the one LOTR you can consume in a single evening and say, with a 
satisfied smile, "Yes. That's it."
 The hobbits--leprechaunish, with round bellies and bottoms, like the Munchkins 
in MGM's Oz--are persuasively played by jockey-size actors. The Shire and its 
environs are suggested less by sets than by delicately sylvan projections. 
Rivendell's High Elves are just that: they rise and float serenely (on wires) 
above the hobbits. The Winnebago-size Shelob tries to wrap her spidery 
tentacles around a struggling Frodo with the help of six black-clad puppeteers.
 This LOTR can't match Cirque du Soleil's Las Vegas martial-arts extravaganza 
KÃ  for soaring athleticism or technical legerdemain. The visualization of 
battle scenes is often pedestrian, and toward the end, the choreography makes 
the Orcs look less like brutal mercenaries than clumsy backup singers. But if 
the show's ingenuity stumbles now and then, its narrative is always clear and 
plangent. It locates the melancholy soul at the heart of Tolkien's adventure 
story.
 And what of the music? The first hour suggests an ambitious but conventional 
musical, with a rousing drinking song and some lovely Elvish ballads that, as 
one hobbit in the show says, are "like wine for the ears." But as the tale 
darkens and deepens, LOTR turns into musical drama, with songs replaced by 
underscoring of the battles. The last real song, and it's a beaut, comes at the 
end of Act II: Frodo and his friend Sam Gamgee sing in reminiscence of the 
Shire they love, "Now and for always."
 The cast is w

Spike Lee finally has a hit with "Inside Man"

By Kirk Honeycutt Sun Mar 19, 4:20 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Inside Man" is the dull title of a 
crackerjack crime thriller that also is the most commercial movie
Spike Lee has directed.


Everything clicks. It has a solid, substantial marquee cast in
Denzel Washington,
Clive Owen and
Jodie Foster; a cagey, even at times (for a thriller) thoughtful screenplay by 
Russell Gewirtz; and a production beautifully calibrated for its story and 
stars. This is the mother lode all action/suspense directors search for, and 
Lee, who usually doesn't work in that genre, has hit it.

Box office is bound to be strong but can be even stronger if Universal's 
marketing and promotions convince a broad spectrum of moviegoers that this is 
their movie. "Inside Man" takes material familiar to the point of triteness -- 
a bank heist, a hostage standoff and corruption New York-style, elements that 
have an almost nostalgic 1970s glow -- then turns everything on its head so the 
movie actually ends up saying something about American culture in 2006.

Without pushing things too far, "Inside Man" is the anti-"Crash" movie. Not 
that the film has no racial tensions and occasional flashes of prejudice, but 
"Inside Man" ultimately embraces the enormous ethnic and cultural diversity 
that is New York and, by extension, America. It is even a key plot point that 
in any given street of Manhattan you can broadcast a baffling language and 
someone is bound to know that language. Someone does.

The setup is indeed familiar enough that Lee and Gewirtz -- what a writing 
debut! -- actually rush through it. Four bad guys -- OK, it's really three guys 
and a girl -- take over a Manhattan branch bank disguised as painters. They 
hold about 50 people hostage. The NYPD gathers. Hostage negotiators Keith 
Frazier (Washington), who is under the cloud of a corruption scandal, and 
partner Bill Mitchell (Chiwetel Ejoifor) arrive on the scene. Emergency 
Services Unit Capt. John Darius (
Willem Dafoe) bristles in a fit of jurisdictional pride, and then the siege 
begins.

Only nothing goes as expected -- either for a bank heist or a bank heist movie. 
The head robber, Clive Owen's Dalton Russell, is a character at least as old as
Alan Rickman's Eurotrash villain in "Die Hard," but this guy is somehow 
different: Unusually cool and calm, he is fully in control of the situation as 
he keeps a step or even a step and a half ahead of Frazier at all times. His 
gang blinds the bank's closed-circuit cameras, then force the hostages to dress 
in coverall outfits and facial disguises so police cannot tell the difference 
between hostage and hostage taker.

There is another perplexing element: The bank's board chairman Arthur Case (
Christopher Plummer) clearly is more concerned about certain items in the 
safety deposit vault than in the lives of the hostages. So he hires slick, 
amoral power broker Madeline White (Foster) to handle very delicate 
negotiations with the New York mayor, Frazier and the hostage ringleader to 
protect his "interests."

For all the rising tension, beautifully orchestrated by Lee, Gewirtz leaves 
plenty of "air" in his story. Meaning, spaces to further develop characters or 
themes -- some an end to themselves and others that will pay off later. 
Example: An interchange between Dalton and a young black boy, who is his 
hostage, regarding the boy's super-violent pocket video game, in which a 
gangsta hero shoots his way through an urban environment, inspires moral 
indignation in the old-school thief. Seemingly fringe characters also have the 
encouraging habit of abruptly becoming integral to the plot or the conveyors of 
sharp observations about current American culture.

In the end, this "air" turns out to be more than air. There is an agenda within 
this intricately plotted, witty crime thriller. Helping Lee, whose direction 
has never been more astute, realize the script's high ambition is production 
designer Wynn Thomas, who keeps a claustrophobic experience feeling almost 
expansive; cinematographer Matthew Libatique, who makes things gritty but with 
dark, saturated, burnished tones that are never quite real; and Terence 
Blanchard's musical score, which becomes almost a character in itself, 
commenting on situations, holding back for others, then swelling expressively 
when circumstances warrant.

The film is even hip enough to open with "Chaiyya Chaiyya," one of the biggest 
Bollywood hits last year, then close with the same song remixed with rap. Very 
cool.

Re: [arr] FAN CLUB

2006-03-20 Thread Lakki




Hello Prashanth!
We had tried to organise something of the sort in 2004 when ARR had his 2nd concert here. But nothing materialised. Later, we tried to bring together a few of the group's members last year when Swapnil was here. Though we did meet up with him, a real get together which i had in mind never worked out. 

I am still for it if others show some interest..
Regards,Lakki
