Re: [arr] Re: 3RD dimension?
3rd Dimension or rather the 3D glasses was a false promise even in London... they promoted the live show saying .. there will be 3D glasses available... but on the day.. it was not.. and the excuse given to me by the Rapport people was that due to the floods in Bombay they were slightly disorganised.. but I wanted to ask whether it was the same in almost all the other 3rd Dimension tours.. if it was the same.. and no 3D glasses were provided.. why promote the show like that.. this should be taken very seriously... this brings a bad name for ARR and his colleagues.. I have written about this before thats soon after the London show... but non seems to be interested in it.. even my friends on that day were not quite pleased about it..

[arr] Favourite patriotic films
This comes a little late in the day. Outlook, in its 21 May 2007 issue featured a cover story on Patriotism in Indian (read Bollywood) cinema. It carried the results of an opinon poll. One question was "Which is your favourite patriotic film?" Three ARR films figured in the Top 10, Lagaan at No 2, RDB at No 4 and Swades at No 10. Another question was 'Favourite patriotic song" and Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna, Vande Mataram and Mere Rang De Basanti Chola figured in the Top 10. However, it's not clear if these were the ARR-composed versions since no composers/singers were credited.
Re: [arr] Re: Where is the critiziser of RDB music ??

vijay, you are absolutely right..and that is what I wrote in the mail...where I couldnt help myself till that level..please go on reading this mail and previous mail again... I do understand that...Donno you read it completely or not, this is my experience with him and I could see that embarrassment in his eyes when I asked for it. I am writing this once more for you, please read it...even if, ARR would have told, "NO!", i wouldn't have feet bad, I do understand situation (That is what happened in sridhar case, i havent felt bad about that...read it please)...but definitely I felt so happy that inspite of that tensed situation he agreed to take photograph with me..That is HIM...Yes...He is the MAN who is down to earth. please read this again.. I have so much to say, so many words which blocked my mind...and one "All the best" for the concert...but what I felt is, leave him alone to his state of mind is better..He knows...He is the best...and I thought I should stop with this activity, by seeing the face feeling in him (I do face reading :))...thats what I told in the mail.. I never gave any thought for a wait..I just went there..Completely in a shock...no words...Just told, "Rahman ji, I am gr8 diehard fan of you..I just need one photograph and autograph from you" "you know, i met you already in unity of light concert in 2003, and this is the second time..and u donno that i touched you that day ;)", he gave a smile...i donno what i was talking "-->Thats why i stopped talking further He is so down to earth...inspite of big tension before the concert starts(just 3 hours more...and nothing is been ready yet..) he said, "Ok!" and gave a small smile... We took one photo..and wanted a photograph with him...I sat beside him and i got it Then, Autograph... As I never expected, I could break the rule so easily...and I could meet ARR, I didnt carry anything to take an autograph... I asked him, "if you dont mind could you please give autograph on my t-shirt which i am wearing", he asked surprisingly. ."this one?!"...i told..."Where?" as it was black...and pen is also black... I showed him place, where can sign...his forehead...He gave it...uhmm... ..one deep breath...and he got call fro stage...he left the place..and never came down... and one more.. Rahman was looking at me in between...as I am continuously staring at him without moving my eyes...seems he was little bit in comfort..then I could see sivamani, rashid, naveen and ravi kiran very near to me.. --> the in comfort is the reason I went to other musicians... Thats why I ask you to read once more to understand the inner meaning... Do you know because of the security breach that I did on that day, I could have been thrown out or arrested in the worst case, Its USA rules but I took that risk for Rahman. to see him, the savior, who is with me all the day in this lonely LIFE of USA. So for me, it is so memorable day. I am not saying taking autograph/photograph is our destination...may be that is just show-off with fellow rahmaniacs... but for me its a memory gift in a physical form.

[arr] Re: Where is the critiziser of RDB music ??
Hi all When RDB music released what a critizism from anti-rahmaniacs. Now what they say? In a malayalam movie magazine named vellinakshatram i read an article posted by an anti-rahmaniac when RDB released. He said that when he heard RDB songs he understood one thing. This is the best time to arr to stop the music. If i had his id or address i could have replied. I think that anti-rahman lobby is very active in this group also. However those who critizised arr will become his diehard fan. That is ARR.

[arr] Will Sivaji live up to the hype?
Will Sivaji live up to the hype? http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Jun32007/enter200706025264.asp C V Aravind analyses the popularity of Rajnikant and whether his forthcoming film Sivaji will be a hit or not. The suspense is agonising. Fans have been on tenterhooks for several months now. With the release date of Sivaji getting delayed, the media is being constantly fed tidbits and juicy stories on the film with a few stills of the lead stars being thrown in for good measure. The audio has become a major hit with A R Rahman chipping in with a feet tapping score and his music has been the mainstay of most of director Shankar’s films right from his debut film Gentleman. While the marketing skills of the producers of the film AVM is the stuff of legend in Kollywood, the man who should bring in the audiences is none other than superstar Rajnikant and maybe to a lesser extent director Shankar, who but for a highly revolting film Boys has an impeccable track record of hits Heroine Shreya, villain Suman and others can only be expected to be also rans in a movie in which Rajni is certain to monopolise the frames. The million dollar question now is whether the film will justify the hype and turn out to be a colossal hit or whether it will meet the fate of another hyped up film, Rajni’s home production Baba which sank without a trace. The odds however seem to favour the superstar who has already made amends for the Baba flop with a super duper hit Chandramukhi which was a remake of the Malayalam film Manichithrathazhu which came via Kannada (Aptha Mithra) where it was a thumping success. Apart from the mercurial presence of the superstar the film’s other main strengths apart from the music that is could be the grandoise sets, the exotic locations all of which cost a pretty penny but succeed in effectively pulling the wool over the frontbencher’s eyes, ensuring in the process a repeat audience. Although his fans have stuck to him loyally for decades now, Rajni still continues to fascinate audiences more by his stock mannerisms than any great acting skills or histrionic displays for which of course he can’t be wholly blamed for the scripts require him to do little else. In fact in his entire career (Sivaji is his hundredth Tamil film) there are only a handful of films like Engeyo Ketta Kural, Aarilirunthu Arupathu Varai’ and Sri Raghavendra where the actor has really strained himself and put to use the lessons learnt at the Madras Film Institute where he picked up the nuances of acting. Over the years however Rajni has perfected the art of attracting fans with his electrifying presence, stylishly executed stunt sequences and sheer charisma, something which only the legendary MGR possessed. One has only to hark back to Bharathiraaja’s maiden film Pathinaru Vayadhinile where although Kamal Haasan had the meatier role and appeared in most of the frames, Rajni had just to mutter a catch line and gesticulate a little bit and the audiences were swept off their feet. Sivaji where Shankar and Rajni have teamed up for the first time could be a treat for Rajni fans worldwide and logic and meaningful cinema be damned. Sivaji will repeat the tried and tested AVM commercial formula that has characterised their earlier Rajni films like Paayum Puli and Pokkiri Raja which saw them laughing all the way to the bank. Atleast for Rajni and Shankar fans if not for the discerning audiences it would well be worth the wait.

[arr] Tamil Blockbuster Sivaji The Boss - Malaysia
source: http://www.cinemaonline.com.my/news/news.asp?search=sivasuspense 9 Jun In terms of magnitude, few could disagree that Sivaji The Boss is the biggest, most anticipated blockbuster ever in Tamil cinema. The production has been touted as the most expensive Tamil film ever made and chances are Malaysian fans will find Rajnikanth's latest offering unmissable. Already in India the advance booking counters are set to open this Sunday to cater for the ticket frenzy. After its release was postponed a few times (at one point scheduled to coincide with the Tamil New Year), latest sources confirm that the worldwide simultaneous release is now June 15. The film Sivaji The Boss showcases all the industry heavyweights Rajnikanth as the 53-year-old powerhouse actor is inescapable to Indian movie-goers, A.R. Rahman the undisputed soundtrack composer with over 100 million records sold worldwide, and director extraordinaire S. Shankar who has churned out eight consecutive blockbusters to critical acclaim. One of the hot debate topics surrounding the film involves speculation on the plot, as it had been kept under wraps by Indian production house, AVM Productions. There is no reliable source which can lay claim to confirming the synopsis of the film, despite numerous internet rumours purporting to do so. Although trailers for the blockbuster have been available on the internet for some time now, the distributors of the film in India have yet to make any press invitations. Even the official site of the film explicitly declines to reveal anything further regarding the plot. Sources have indicated to Cinema Online that the blockbuster is tentatively scheduled to be released at 51 cinemas nationwide. According to other sources, P. S. Saminathan, managing director of Pyramid Saimira Theatre India and its Malaysian representative, declined to reveal how much was paid for the movie's rights but said it was the "costliest Indian film ever" to be shown in Malaysia. He expected it to gross as much as a Hollywood movie in the local circuit. Pyramid Saimira Theatre Chain is a Chennai-based company which partially operates more than 42 screens in Malaysia. Sivaji The Boss opens in Malaysia on June 15. Devi - Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo! Travel to find your fit.
