‘Roja’ on ‘Time’s 10 best soundtracks list
http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14556867



 Tuesday, 06 November , 2007, 18:31






Mumbai: Music maestro A R Rahman's Roja has featured on 
Time magazine's 10 best soundtracks of all times.

Reacting to the news, Rahman said that future is unpredictable and you never 
know what it has in store for you.





You never know what the world has in store for you. Suddenly you find Roja 
being selected as one of 10 best soundtracks in the world by Time magazine,” 
Rahman said.


The long wait to see one of our popular musicians go West finally seems
to be on the verge of ending. Rahman, who scored big points for his
Bollywood explosion in Andrew Lloyd Webber's staged musical Bombay Dreams, is 
all set to make his full-fledged musical in Toronto.


I like it when what I do here (India) is recognised abroad. The musical stage 
version of Lord of the Rings happened in Toronto. I scored music for specific 
characters in the play, he said.


Why such a delayed international impact?


Actually, Shekhar Kapur got me a couple of Hollywood films three-four
years ago. But I wasn't ready then. Now with the Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay 
Dreams behind me, I'm more confident.”


It's the first time that a musician from the Orient is being called to
score in the West regardless of colour and creed. It's not about
whether you're an Indian or a foreigner. I was apprehensive whether I
could swing it. But it has gone well!

Rahman sees Lord of the Rings as his natural progression into the West. Bombay 
Dreams did flash A R Rahman's name. But it was seen as Indian music.
“And I'm proud of that. But Lord of the Rings
is very exciting because it's got nothing to do with my being Indian.
Composing for a stage play requires 10 time more energy than a film
score,” he said.

[arr] Top 10 music sountracks of all times..

2007-11-06 Thread prakash_raptors
http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,soundtracks,00.html

Roja:Though he is  renowned as the preeminent composer of modern
Bollywood, A.R. Rahman was born and still works in Madras, 1,000 miles
south of Bombay. His Tamil compatriot, the writer-director Mani
Ratnam, yanked him out of jingle-writing to compose his first full
score for Roja (The Rose) the tale of a woman whose lover is kidnapped
by terrorists. Through this grim political parable, Rahman laced some
spectacular melodies that not only serve the drama, they create their
own[EM]as in the duet ballads Yeh Haseen Vadiyan and Roja
Jaaneman, which first are grounded in recitative, then suddenly
ascend into celestial melody. This astonishing debut work parades
Rahman's gift for alchemizing outside influences until they are
totally Tamil, totally Rahman. He plays with reggae and jungle
rhythms, fiddles with Broadway-style orchestrations, runs cool
variations on Morricone's scores for Italian westerns.

[arr] why to compare some regional composers to Rahman????

2007-11-06 Thread Arijit Debnath
Hi all,

Since few days am seeing that some regional composers (like Yuvan/Harris)
are being compared with Rahman. Outside some regional boundaries nobody
knows these composers... nobody offered them a single proposal to show their
ability... we also never heard them for that reason... if they are really so
good to be compared with Rahman, the people outside that region should
recognize them, as they recognize Rhaman.

So whom nobody recognizes as composers outside some limited boundaries why
they are being compared with India's most versatile/complete/most talented
music maker???

I never found in a John William fan club forum where the fans are talking
like Rahman next William this is really unexpected...

[arr] Azhagiya Tamil Magan - Entertaining enthralling

*Azhagiya Tamil Magan Preview*  Azhagiya Tamil Magan - Entertaining 
enthralling  IndiaGlitz  [Tuesday, November 06, 2007]

This year Diwali is full of expectations for all of us! Director Bharathan
is coming up with his promising loads of commercial cocktail is Vijay's
'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' releasing on Deepavali day.

Vijay films always promise a mix of entertainment with catchy songs,
pulsating stunt sequences and punch dialogues with his colorful looks...

'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' is undoubtedly the most consistent and entertaining
album for a Vijay's movie ever when it comes to music.

Adding spice to this already happening action-packed and dramatic movie is
maestro A R Rahman's music.

Rahman rocks the big time! Looks like, he has sung the intro song of
'Azhagiya Tamil Magan'. The remix of the yesteryear number 'Ponmagal
Vandhal' is a huge hit among the music-lovers.

Buzz is that Vijay appears in a dual role in the movie for the first time in
his career with 'Sivaji' fame Shreya and glam doll Namitha. The story has
been kept a secret.

'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' would be a real entertainer for Vijay fans! It has a
different storyline and sequences which unfolds in an interesting manner.

Sources say that the movie is about a youth possessing Extra Sensory Power
(ESP), who predicts the future!

Songs were shot abroad and especially a romantic number featuring Vijay and
Namitha shot in Bangkok is a delight for eyes says Bharathan.  'Azhagiya
Tamil Magan' would be a real entertainer for Vijay fans, he adds.

The movie which has been granted a 'U' certificate by the censor board
which will be hilarious and entertaining, says Vijay.

Avid fans of Vijay are eagerly waiting for Deepavali because, it's
celebration time for them...

Lets wait for Kollywood's big hit! Says the fans.

Hi Vithur,

Answer: FIRST DEBUTANT

You got it right..!!

A R Rahman is the FIRST MD to win the National Award on his DEBUT.

Ismail Darbar is another debutant to win the National Awards for his
first film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam but that was only after Rahman's
Roja (1994).

Thanks and regards.

Re: [arr] ARR quiz - Complete the KILLER line...

2007-11-06 Thread Vinod Raju

Yes, ARR won it for 1992, and award was presented in 1993.

Leaving that trivia apart, what makes this award extra special is  
the mighty competition for Roja that year - Rudaali (Bhupen 
Hazarika), Sargam (Ravi Bombay), Thevar Magan (Ilayaraja).

And for a debutant 26 yr old to win that year speaks volumes for the 
path breaking and revolutionizing music of Roja.

[arr] Semi-ARR:- Dilli times for Sonam

2007-11-06 Thread Abdul Manaf
 
Dilli times for Sonam

  Debutante Sonam Kapoor will star in Rakeysh Mehra's Dilli 
6
  
  
  Sonam Kapoor
From what we hear, Saawariya girl Sonam Kapoor has signed Rakeysh Omprakash 
Mehra's Dilli 6. The director has been in news recently for having changed the 
male lead of Dilli 6 seven times. If the same doesn't repeat, Sonam will star 
opposite Abhishek Bachchan in this film.

Sonam has been heard saying that she has a mindblowing offer in hand. A source 
informs, Sonam Kapoor has been finalised to play the lead role in Rakeysh 
Mehra's film Dilli 6. Earlier, Mehra was very keen to sign Kareena Kapoor and 
Soha Ali Khan for the role but the moment he signed Abhishek, he dropped the 
idea of signing Kareena altogther. After Saawariya trailers hit the small 
screen, Sonam bagged the role. Sonal is also pretty excited about working with 
Mehra and Abhishek Bachchan. The film will go on the floors in the second week 
of December in Delhi.

  Rakeysh Mehra
Mehra had a tough time finalising the male lead for Dilli 6 and changed the 
male lead of his film seven times. The actors considered for the film include 
Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Siddarth, Imran 
Khan (Aamir Khan's nephew) and even a newcomer. Finally Abhishek, was signed 
for the film.

Rakeysh Mehra, Anil Kapoor and UTV remained unavailable for comment.
