Re: [arr] Rahman-Goutam Menon

[Sam]

ARR should NEVER work with Gautam. His films are violent, sadistic and complete 
rip-off from Hollywood movies.
   
  Let Gautam stick to HJ, I have no worries.

[arr] Re: Rahman-Goutam Menon

[VijayNarain]

In my honest opinion Gautam Menon is a wannabe director who apes
hollywood flicks and gets himself a "slick" filmmaker tag. I suppose
his combibnation with Harris Jeyaraj would be thoroughly justified as
the latter is again a wannabe who apes the arrangement (plagiarises is
a wrong word to use here) of other music directors. I dont intend to
create any controversy here, but Rahman deserves to work with more
"mature" directors.

[arr] [Maybe ARR] Rajnikanth first Indian toon star

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Rajnikanth first Indian toon star
 

New Delhi, Feb. 16: Shah Rukh Khan had to be content with being the desi voice 
of The
Incredibles, but all set to become the first Indian hero to hit the silver 
screen in animated
form is Tamil superstar Rajnikanth. An ambitious 3-D animated project titled 
Superstar, being
developed by Rajnikanth’s daughter Soundarya and Adlabs Films, will see the 
actor’s swaggering
walk and characteristic flipping of sunglasses and cigarettes become part of 
animation history.
The film is being co-produced by Soundarya’s post-production house, Ocher 
Studio Pvt. Ltd. With
Rajnikanth’s family being personally involved in the making of the film, 
special care is being
taken to ensure that the actor’s popular style is captured in the final product.

The lead character in Superstar is based on Rajnikanth and the film is expected 
to see a 2008
release. "It gives me the unique privilege of animating my father, the iconic 
superstar, for
the first time, and I consider this a special dedication for his contribution 
to the Indian
film industry," is how Soundarya Rajnikanth, also the managing director of 
Ocher Studios, puts
it.

With Rajnikanth’s popularity extending to places like Japan, which, 
incidentally, produces some
of the world’s best animation works, both Adlabs and Ocher are hoping to 
attract international
attention with the film. Adding to the film will be the special characteristics 
and style that
the actor has popularised over the years. The film is expected to mark Adlab’s 
entry into the
animation market and is being seen as an international project in view of the 
actor’s immense
popularity both in the country and abroad.

"Over 50 per cent of India is below the age of 20. Besides that, animation is a 
universal
favourite for all audiences. There is a dearth of quality animation content 
originating from
India and Adlabs is making a keen foray into the sector with this project," 
said Pooja Shetty,
the director of Adlabs Films Ltd.

Re: [arr] Re: Aamir's production has sensibilities of 4 years back

[Triply R.]

SEL are composing the music of his other production, "Taaray Zameen Pe", which 
also stars him in a guest role. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is produced by his 
production house, but apparently doesn't have him in a guest role.

Re: [arr] Re: Aamir's production has sensibilities of 4 years back

[Triply R.]

If sources are to be believed, shooting of Taaray Zameen Pe  is complete and 
the movie will come out within the next couple of months. 

What I heard of Ghajjini is that Aamir will start shooting for it most probably 
from April in Chennai. The movie will be directed by Murgadoss, who did the 
original, and will be produced by Allu Arvind, famous film producer and 
brother-in-law of Chiranjeevi. The movie will have music by A.R. Rahman.
The original was a very good entertainer and had amazing performances by Surya 
and Asin. I reserve from calling it outstanding only because the concept of a 
man with short term memory loss, out to avenge his dead wife, remembering 
things with notes, tattoos and polariods is originally from the English film 
Momento. That is a film that really does reward patient viewers. 

I assume Ghajjini will be wrapped up pretty quickly, which will give Aamir time 
to sit with Lajjo in December. But yes, looks like Lajjo wont release for a 
year and a half, if it ever does get made!! I would have preferred the romantic 
comedy "High-Jump" to "Lajjo". Mani is amazing with subtle humor.

hi guys
by reading the end pargraph, it seems like Lajjo is not gonna 
release till next 1 and a half year.

Plus, can someone please tell me about the movie GHAJANI and its 
hindi remake?
Was gajani a nice movie?
and is rahman doing the music fo its hindi version?

[arr] Water music release today

[Gopal Srinivasan]

 Water music preloaded on 1GB iPod   
 



MUMBAI: BR Films and Sony BMG have scored a first of sorts by releasing the 
music of Oscar
nominated film Water, which becomes the first film in the world, claim the two 
companies, whose
music CD will be made available with an iPod.

"Any 1GB iPod Shuffle that will be purchased by a consumer will have a 
pre-packed CD of Water
and 78 additional songs composed by A R Rahman," says HCL marketing head Pankaj 
Chopra. HCL
represents iPod in India.

Rahman, who had earlier composed the music for Deepa Mehta's Fire and Earth, is 
also the music
director of Water.

Water, which stars John Abraham, Lisa Ray and Seema Biswas will be released in 
India by Ravi
Chopra on 9 March.

The iPod Shuffle will be made available exclusively at all Planet M stores 
across India. In a
special event that will be held on 17 February 2007, Rahman will unveil the 
iPod collection at
a Planet M store in Mumbai.

[arr] Re: Rahman and his brilliant chords

[ishaan_03]

great post! but the two lines you said sound different because of the
arrangements...even the chord is same in both the places...and the
male choir which plays behind naresh iyer's vocals sounds mindblowing

another example is in ye jo des hai tera...the tune of second and
third paragraphs is the same...but there is no rhythm second
time...this makes it sound completely different...hail AR sir!

  Hi Guys,
  How abt a concept of Rahmania in Bangalore if there is'nt a band like that 
yet?
  I and another friend of mine in this grp play the keyboard..It wud be a gr8 
idea if v find more talent to make a band just for ARR's music :)
  Cheers,

  On 2/15/07, Dinesh Vaidya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 
We are overwhelmed by the congratulatory messages from the audiance 
who attended the RAHMANIA shows performed by The Wandering Souls in 
Pune recently. We are getting constant SMSs, emails from them to 
enquire about the next set of programmes. We thank everybody for the 
encouragement and for giving us a positive feedback.

When I reflect on the last one / two months which led to these 3 
programmes we conducted in PUNE showcasing the Rahman music, I find 
that following things contributed to the success of this concept. 

1. Complete dedication by the team - Almost all members of The 
Wandering Souls had performed on stage at some point of time and were 
expert in their department of Music. Most important, all of them 
loved Rahman music and had taken great pains to master the RAHMAN 
SOUND.

2. Hard work - Again, almost 90% of the team members were working in 
some company or other or students and had enough work to do on their 
own. Still they arrived at the practice sessions on time and also 
practiced at home as per their convenience. Some members like 
Ashutosh Joshi who is working in Mumbai, had to shuttle between Pune 
and Mumbai regularly and had to take leave from office to attend the 
practice and the actual concert. 

3. Right sound - The group had worked hard to achieve the RAHMAN 
sound as much as they can with the available instruments and tracks 
and in this respect the credit must go to the core team led by Anmol 
Bhave and Tejas and assisted by Ajay Atre. The heart of Rahman's 
music is the instrumentation and this group had taken extra pains in 
achieving this. The song selection too was very well. Nikhil Mulay 
was always available to help out Anmol on the sound system. Both of 
them had a tough time on 7'th but more than made it up on the 10'th 
programme.

4. Vocals - Great teamwork from all the vocalist, Hrishikesh, 
Ashutosh, Jasraj, Sandeep, Swarali, Swarada, Pallavi, Megha. All of 
them were so versatile that they could pick up any song and just 
continue with the performance without any hitch. They helped a lot.

5.Instrumentalist - Keyboards were ably handled by Tejas, Rahul and 
Pinak, the guitarists Ajit was also good. The flute was superbly 
managed by Satyajeet and who can forget the Drums by Abhijeet and 
Indian percussions by Vivek ? They were on-the dot with their 
frequencies. 

6. Backstage - Geetanjali, Nikita, Amod, Prachee and the other 
support team was always on their toes to arrange for the practice 
sessions, advertisement, ticket printing, audiance management and 
what not.

7. Research and art - Mandar, Sameer had prepared great print ad 
material and was an instant hit. Amith and Milind had prepared all 
the script for the show and the information they presented was well 
received by one and all.

All being my nephews and nieces, none of them ever raised a voice of 
protest when I gave them a straight talk on few occasion and they 
took the suggesions in right spirit with utmost sincerity and I will 
give them full credit for their politeness and desire to refine their 
act. 

All in all everybody worked extremely hard and with total dedication 
and with a challange that we have to honour RAHMAN's word that we 
have to "retain the soul of the music". We hope we did justice to his 
words.

We have received many requests to have more shows and also received 
invitations from outside Pune. Considering the logistical and 
commercial issues, the group will take up these requests and try to 
do justice to the hightened expectations of the audiance in Pune.

Are there similar groups who are active in other cities ? can we come 
together for some reason or other ??

Best regards
Dinesh Vaidya

Re: [arr] FRIENDS!!!!! GIVE A SPECIAL WELCOME TO KEYBOARD SATHYA

[Keyboardsathya]

Dear Anna,

Thank you very much for welcoming me and accepting me as a grp member. I cannot 
speak more on ARR uncle other than saying that i am one of his great fan. I 
play his music in my concerts whenever possible and get applause for the work 
he has done. I am proud that i have got the oppurtunity to play his music and 
get appreciated.

My appa helps most of the time in typing these msgs and just for your 
information on seeing my performance at Sri Kalahasthi temple on 12th Feb'07 
the authorities has mde me "Aasthana.Keyboard Vidwan of Sri Kalahasthi Templ". 
Also i just got an award from Rotasia today titled "Beethovan Reincarnated 
Award" which i dedicate to ARR uncle and i am sure it is he who should be given 
that title. I think by mistake they gave me.

As promised i will play few ARR uncle's song this week end and upload it in my 
site www.keyboardsathya.com 

Pls pardon me if you think i am going away from topic. I strongly believe that 
you will all support my interest in music. 

with love to everyone in the grp Sathya

  if there was any dictionary telling the meaning of the names then

  A R Rahman = Expect the unexpected.

[arr] Rahman and his brilliant chords

[Ajit]

One aspect of Rahman's music that I truly find remarkable is his use
of harmonies.  His knowledge and application of chords is unmatched in
the history of Indian music IMHO.  He can use the same melodic line,
apply a difference chordal sequence, and the melody sounds like a
different melody.  Now, that's genius.  

One example, in the song "Tu Bin Bataye" from RDB, notice how the
melody sounds when Madhrushree sings the "Meethi Lagi..." line. 
Then, listen to the same melodic line when Naresh Iyer enters the
first time after the saxaphone music interlude.  It's the same melody
as Madhushree's line, but the chords are all together different.  It
almost sounds like a different melody.  And in Naresh's line, Rahman
adds the choral track which adds so much depth and dimension.  A
simple melody made even more beautiful by Rahman's harmonics and
arrangements.

There are many other exmples, too many to cite here.

[arr] Aamir's production has sensibilities of 4 years back

[satish_srini]

By IndiaFM News Bureau, February 16, 2007 - 05:48 IST
Post Rang De Basanti and Fanaa we haven't heard much from Aamir Khan
on the filmi scene. However the actor, off late, has been pretty busy
with acting, production and rumouredly also ghost direction.

Firstly he is producing Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na that marks the
directorial debut of script writer Abbas Tyrewala. Recently rumours
had it that the film has been renamed to Main Hoon Na Maqbool. "This
is hilarious", exclaims Abbas Tyrewala. Perhaps the rumour originated
from the fact that Abbas happens to be the writer of both Main Hoon Na
and Maqbool. "But Main Hoon Na Maqbool is a better title. I should
have thought of it before", he adds teasingly. The title of the film
is confirmed as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

Speaking about the cast of the film Abbas says, "Aamir's nephew Imraan
Khan will be seen as the male lead. He is Aamir's sister's son. I
can't divulge much about him at this moment, but he is definitely one
actor to watch out for!" Genelia D'souza of Tujhe Meri Kasam and Masti
fame has been finalized to play the female lead.

The film about young love is almost reaching completion. Says
Tyrewala, "We will be shooting continuously till the first week of
April. A few months of post-production after that and hopefully then
the movie will be ready for release!"

So is Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na a period film? "No, it is not a period
film," says Tyrewala, "But it is not very modern as well. It has
sensibilities of five years back." While Aamir is producing the film,
PVR Cinemas is presenting it. A. R. Rahman is composing the music for
this film.

Being an Aamir Khan production we question Abbas if there is any
possibility of Aamir Khan making a cameo in the film and he confirms,
"Aamir himself will not be seen anywhere in the film. However there
are a lot of other actors in the film who will make a special
appearance including Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Arbaaz Khan
and Arshad Warsi"

Apart from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Aamir is also producing a film called
Tare Zameen Par that is being directed by Amol Gupte. Aamir plays the
male lead of this film. He will also be starring in the remake of
Tamil film Ghajini that pairs him with Ayesha Takia. Finally there is
Mani Ratnam's Lajjo where he is cast opposite Kareena Kapoor.

[arr] 'Top-5' is unshakable as 'Just Married' re-enters

[satish_srini]

1) Guru : With none of the new releases of 2007 making much mark, as
far as music sales are concerned, and no new notable releases in
sight, the Top-5 of the music charts remains steady for yet another
week in succession. `Guru' enjoys its stint at the top with the big
success of the movie only helping the retention value. `Ek Lo Ek Muft'
was never a great composition. It's presence in the film only breaks
the narrative!

Re: [arr] instrumentless..

[Shwetha Signs]

No song of arr's is instrumentless. If so, one can observe whispering of 
instruments to say atleast these are used to very minium level where one may 
miss that.

Re: [arr] Why TWS's RAHMANIA rocked PUNE !!!

Hi Guys,
How abt a concept of Rahmania in Bangalore if there is'nt a band like that
yet?
I and another friend of mine in this grp play the keyboard..It wud be a gr8
idea if v find more talent to make a band just for ARR's music :)
Cheers,

  We are overwhelmed by the congratulatory messages from the audiance
who attended the RAHMANIA shows performed by The Wandering Souls in
Pune recently. We are getting constant SMSs, emails from them to
enquire about the next set of programmes. We thank everybody for the
encouragement and for giving us a positive feedback.

When I reflect on the last one / two months which led to these 3
programmes we conducted in PUNE showcasing the Rahman music, I find
that following things contributed to the success of this concept.

1. Complete dedication by the team - Almost all members of The
Wandering Souls had performed on stage at some point of time and were
expert in their department of Music. Most important, all of them
loved Rahman music and had taken great pains to master the RAHMAN
SOUND.

2. Hard work - Again, almost 90% of the team members were working in
some company or other or students and had enough work to do on their
own. Still they arrived at the practice sessions on time and also
practiced at home as per their convenience. Some members like
Ashutosh Joshi who is working in Mumbai, had to shuttle between Pune
and Mumbai regularly and had to take leave from office to attend the
practice and the actual concert.

3. Right sound - The group had worked hard to achieve the RAHMAN
sound as much as they can with the available instruments and tracks
and in this respect the credit must go to the core team led by Anmol
Bhave and Tejas and assisted by Ajay Atre. The heart of Rahman's
music is the instrumentation and this group had taken extra pains in
achieving this. The song selection too was very well. Nikhil Mulay
was always available to help out Anmol on the sound system. Both of
them had a tough time on 7'th but more than made it up on the 10'th
programme.

4. Vocals - Great teamwork from all the vocalist, Hrishikesh,
Ashutosh, Jasraj, Sandeep, Swarali, Swarada, Pallavi, Megha. All of
them were so versatile that they could pick up any song and just
continue with the performance without any hitch. They helped a lot.

5.Instrumentalist - Keyboards were ably handled by Tejas, Rahul and
Pinak, the guitarists Ajit was also good. The flute was superbly
managed by Satyajeet and who can forget the Drums by Abhijeet and
Indian percussions by Vivek ? They were on-the dot with their
frequencies.

6. Backstage - Geetanjali, Nikita, Amod, Prachee and the other
support team was always on their toes to arrange for the practice
sessions, advertisement, ticket printing, audiance management and
what not.

7. Research and art - Mandar, Sameer had prepared great print ad
material and was an instant hit. Amith and Milind had prepared all
the script for the show and the information they presented was well
received by one and all.

All being my nephews and nieces, none of them ever raised a voice of
protest when I gave them a straight talk on few occasion and they
took the suggesions in right spirit with utmost sincerity and I will
give them full credit for their politeness and desire to refine their
act.

All in all everybody worked extremely hard and with total dedication
and with a challange that we have to honour RAHMAN's word that we
have to "retain the soul of the music". We hope we did justice to his
words.

We have received many requests to have more shows and also received
invitations from outside Pune. Considering the logistical and
commercial issues, the group will take up these requests and try to
do justice to the hightened expectations of the audiance in Pune.

Are there similar groups who are active in other cities ? can we come
together for some reason or other ??
