Hi guys,

I do not have any words to describe this piece.  See how ARR has molded the
peppy number (barso re) into pathos one (as a BGM), just unimaginable.

ATTN:  Kaissom or whoever it may be, we are waiting for the complete version
of HQ voiceless BGMs, once DVD releases.  For the time being, check out this
guys.

[fazilsajjad007]

yesterday i downloaded an mp3 from neilpanchal.com\downloads\arr.
I got it from themes section,the title is "mischievous flute".But i'm 
sure its the starting of a song in malayalam and MD is not ARR.So how 
come that piece of music found its way to ARR section.
Must agree,the tune is real nice.
So guys check it out and confirm,if i'm wrong correct me.

RE: [arr] Re: ARR's songs butchered ? RAHMAN should go SOLO now !!!

[Shiv Kanchi]

karthik, you are absolutely right.
   
  i will give you an incident to prove that a.r.rehman never copies someones 
music.
   
  in the south indian movie "NEW", actor and director s.j.suryah asked 
A.R.Rehman to remix the "Thottal Poo Malarum" song with same tune(its a slow 
classical song from old tamil movie).
   
  But rehman strongly denied to do that, even that guy compuled him a lot to do 
that. but finally rehmand refused. in stead of that, what rehman did for him to 
satisfy was, he took the lyrics alone from that song. and created the fresh 
tune for that lyrics and the main thing is, he presented that in melodious tune 
with fast music. that song become mega mega hit in tamil.
  its amazing. its possible only for rehman. the legend.
   
  one more thing, see, the drum beat may be same for 2-5 seconds because how 
can one present various variety sounds with single drum. but still rehman doing 
that. your cousin should appreciate him. it will happen unknowingly by 
a.r.rehman itself.  even rahman will not hear anyother music directors music 
since he started his career in music.
  bcos he dont have time man. he have only his own time to create the magical 
music. thats y hes taking enough(more) time to create music album. if hes 
copying and doing then he will do 20-50 films per year. 
   
  whole world knowz this, if your cousin doesnot know this, we will not bother.
   
  andrew llyod webber would not called him for bombay dreams if he felt rehman 
is a copier
   
  lord of the rings team would not called him if they felt rehman is a copier
   
  rehmans 3 songs will not get nominated for oscars if they felt rehman is a 
copier
   
  my feelings are uncontrolable by hearing the words like this about a.r.rehman.
   
  spike lee (director of "inside man" hollywood) and others only copying rehman 
music.
   
  rehman i love you, i love you forever, whoever whatever says about you i love 
you.
   
  you make us pride. i have a son, 
   
  i am the happiest man in the world if my son will grow like you.

Re:[arr]A humle request - (abt Mallus view unacceptable)

[Shwetha Signs]

Dear Krishnaraj & Shahi
   
  Instead of having a one-sided judgement, why cannot it be in other way. 
mr.Jesudas could have even refused couple of offers from mr. A.R.Rahman due to 
mr.JDS's personal priorities & also of the fact he might want to see his son 
mr.vijay in singing assuming mr.vijay is more interested & he is in a situation 
to give way for his son. Till he is there in the field he cannot give 
opportunities to his son. 
   
  If you take Mr.SPB it might be different case. If his son is not interested 
in singing, mr.spb cannot compel him. So mr.spb need not bother & accept offers 
whatever come his way. So there are super seniors (very aged wise) & seniors 
(middle aged wise). No such problems for seniors - Mr.Hariharan Iyer & Madam 
Chitra Chechi. 
   
  How long you want these super seniors to sing with a fact they cannot give it 
in full what they were giving before and also upon regard for them, Music 
Directors cannot instruct them as before with demands like time issues. Also 
commanding super seniors to MDs expectation will not be the same ever after 
certain period of time. It is like in India there are lot of senior citizens 
who could get a job easily even after retirement to their level of 
understanding & executing it easily but still hesitate to take it up for they 
cannot accept their new seniors easily who will instruct them & give work to 
them with a command. 
   
  Its better to maintain some understanding in distance instead of getting 
bitter experiences between them & for both of them (Both - MDs & Super Senior 
singers). Mr.Jesudas now would be more interested & happy to see his son 
singing. He has passed the stage to accept offers. So many perspectives are 
there when you think about an issue. First of all its the singers' decision. 
Some senior singers would like to quit & some would like to be in touch with 
few offers. Hope in each & every thing there are TWO SIDES & no need to come to 
conclusions.

http://arrahmaniac.blogspot.com/2007/02/ismail-durbar-biggest-joker-around.html

It is generally the politicians who say one thing and shamefully take an
opposite stance suddenly. Now, it is Ismail Durbar, the composer of Devdas!

Here are some excerpts from his recent Hindustan Times 
interview(Thanks to Mr. 
Gopal, ARRFans for the scan):

"I call him (A.R.Rahman) Guru. He also respects me..."
"I remember he won at two different award functions; he went on to win for
Taal and Saathiya. See the humility in him... he called me through lyricist
Mehboob and said that I deserved both the awards (for Hum Dil De Chuke
Sanam and Devdas). That's why I respect him"

Now for a short flashback! This is what he said in a Rediff 
interview,
about one-and-half years back:

"People have told me my work was better than Rahman's in Kisna. (ARR
composed 2 songs and ID composed 8 for Kisna)"
"My work has always been better than his . Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was
better than Taal. Even Devdas was better than Saathiya.
But it is destiny that he got international fame. Angrezo ne uska haath
pakad liya hai toh logo ko lagta hai ke yeh kuch zyada hi hai (Foreigners
encouraged him so people think he is very good).
I am not saying this because of jealousy. This is the bitter truth. Whenever
my work is good and he takes the awards, I feel bad.
I wonder why people run after name and fame, and not good work. Kyunki
hamare yahan bahut kum akal ke log hai (we have very few intelligent
people here). We see some foreigners holding someone's hand, and he
becomes a big man ."

Ah!! What a jerk!

HAI,
   
 Friends I work for Kerala state IT dept and my office is at Trivandrum. 
Sleepless night for me since two weeks, coz our boss is coming to receive 
kairali sawralaya award on 12/02/07. I just spoke to Mr. Mahesh the chief 
patron of Kairali swarlaya. He told me that ARR confirmed that he will come to 
receive award, the venue is NISAGANDHI open-air auditorium and time is 5.30pm. 
There will be a concert after that by eminent play back singers (full rahman 
songs) but ARR ji wont be there. He will be there in the city just for 40 
minutes. If any body wants further clarifications just call me, 09947488829. 
Apart from this any body like Gopal or Vijay could you plz clarify this to me 
with exact news from ARR mangers.( one garpevine is going on that ARR will be 
there in the city again on 17/02/07 for concert at Tagore theater. But as of 
now no promotion going on for it).

Re: [arr] Why are ARR's songs butchered in films?

[Thulasi Ram]

i agree. according to me, mani utilized ARR's song well only till
alaipayuthey. kannathil,yuva were ok. singore, vidai kodu, baadal hua were
in background. now in guru, 2 songs were pushed to background and rest of
them were picturized for just half of the song.

i would add SHANKAR to the best director who picturizes ARR's songs list.
man he rocks! Ashutosh is very good too.

This is more the reason that I want RAHMAN to go totally solo. That 
means, he should limit his movie assignments to select few like say 
Ashutosh Gowarikar ( well pointed out by many ) and similar Directors 
in south. Or altogether stop movies.

Rahman is now at such a stage in his career that he should do music 
which he likes to do by making non-film albums. In any case many like 
me do not see movies, if we do, we are unable to find the song in it. 
So if Rahman comes up with even 4 albums even every year, I think he 
will be at his best due to full freedom in creativity. 

He will also be spared of the usual bunch of songs with 1 happy song, 1
1 sad song, 1 love song, 1 peppy song and so on and so forth.

We, the loyal fans of RAHMAN music will WAIT for every song / album he 
will produce on his own and the wait will be surely worth it.

Dear Rahman, please think about it.

[arr] Re: Why are ARR's songs butchered in films?

[Ricky]

Ajit,
Agree with you about the music placement in Guru. On that note, I 
think Mayya Mayya was nicely placed and used. But besides that, most 
of the song in the movie seems to be a speedbump.

On the note of directors using Rahman's music effectively, other's 
have been able to do that as well. Starting most recently, Rakesh 
Mehra in RDB used Rahman's music amazingly well -- ALL songs were 
perfectly placed and used. And travelling back, Subhash Ghai in Taal, 
Ram Gopal Verma in Rangeela, Mani Ratnam in Yuva...were some of them 
who did a great job with Rahman's music.

Personally, I would love for Farhan Aktar to work with Rahman, 
ideally with Aamir in the movie, and Gulzar or Parsoon Joshi with the
