(2) Someone wants to know where ARR was on Sivaji Function. Is ARR accountable to us? (3) Someone asking to write biography. We all know from where ARR started.

We must all stop dictating what we want from ARR. If this rhetoric goes forever, someone may ask ARR to start political party and jump into politics.

This 40 crore film is directed by Soundarya and Produced by Ocher in partnership with Adlabs. The flamboyant aor agreed to do the film on the pretext of her daughter, under whose direction the film has promises to keep the expectation of huge fan following Rajinikanth. - E-mail Article http://www.newstrackindia.com/email.action - Printer Friendly http://www.newstrackindia.com/printnews/2075 - Text-Size javascript:decreaseFontSize(); javascript:increaseFontSize(); With this movie Rajinikanth will script his name to be the first superhero to act in an animated film made in India or South East Asia. Both the father and daughter are newcomers for one is going to be the first to do the animated film while his daughter is debuting with Sultan of Warrior and according to her the film is a 'daughter's gift to a father.' And with this, we hope to set a benchmark for Indian animation. There have been animation films before in India but, not of quality that we are trying to achieve with this movie, she added. My father is happy and proud that I am a director. And I am proud of directing him, she said. The film has four songs written by Vairamuthu and A.R. Rehman scores the music. India entertainment industry unknown to this concept will get a first hand experience which promises to break the myth that only Hollywood can deliver good animated movie. The film will be released by the end of the year in 12 different languages. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE ABODE OF DIVINE MUSIC

[arr] Re: Interesting trivia question
Gopal, Guess you know this already... As far as I know, the lyrics was set to tune by MSV for a Mellisai in Doordarshan in those days. If i'm not wrong Jayachandran and Vani Jeyaram used to sing the song. This would start as Azhagu Azhagu The same lyrics was set to this wonderful tune by ARR for Pudhiya Mugam.

[arr] Kaviperarasu VAIRAMUTHU on A.R.RAHMAN - SPECIAL RAHMANIA SHOW ( MUST READ - VERY INTERESTING )
Dear Rahmaniacs, It was really a special Rahmania Show today, with Kavignar Vairamuthu who has been very very famous for his lyrics, and his love for Tamil, and who has been assosciated with ARR right from Roja till Sivaji sharing his thoughts on ARR. ( For people who know Tamil, MP3s links will be given in my future mails ) *INTRODUCTION :-* Kaviperarasu ( Renowned scholar ) Vairamuthu is credited with 5 National Awards for Tamil Literature, evergreen Lyricist, credited with Doctorate by Two Universities twice , The Living Legend. He had also won the Sahitya Academy Award for Kallikattu Ithigasam. Had also won the Padmashree Award for Literature. *BEFORE AND AFTER ARR MUSIC :-* Before ARR Music, since 1980 to 1990 ; After 1990 , It has been the wave of ARR. My music journey can be divided into 2 phases. One with Ilayaraja and one with ARR. Being with ARR was different , and being with Ilayaraja was different . during Ilayaraja time, it was classical religiuos music and during ARR time, I could admire heights of Western Classical Music. ARR discovered a blend of Classical and Western Music. Both the MDs have influenced me with their own styles. *How do you change yourself with the changing face of Music ??* This is a good question. Once upon a time, Music was composed based on writings. Later, the trend of writing lyrics for the tune emerged. When , music is composed based on lyrics, the lyricist has a lot of freedom. But when , the lyricist writes based on the tune, he becomes lilttle limited, just like a parrot wishing to fly, but caught in a cage. Then too, the beauty of the tune soothes us and we have started accepting that. But ARR , has accepted my lyrics for some songs and has composed the tune for them. And one of my favourites amongst that is KANNUKKU MAI AZAHGU ( PUDIYA MUGAM). The lyrics was already present, and he composed it based on the lyrics. The tune was so soothing, that I have my doubt if the same song would have been composed before the lyrics was ready. Chinna Chinna Aasai :- ARR gave the tune. That thought was little old to me. I had written a poem titled ennakku Pudikkum ( I like it ) . And it so happened that the lyrics of Chinna Chinna Aasai got inserted finely into the song. We took only that title Chinna Chinna Aasai from my poem, and the rest was seperately written by me. *ANY SONG THAT WAS WRITTEN WITH A TUSSLE WITH ARR :-* Ratchagan - chandiranai Thottatu Yaar Armstronga - There was a healthy fight in this song. ARr had composed a beautiful tune for this song. ARR felt the word Armstrongaaa disturbing the tune a lilttle bit. I said to ARR that if this song was to be noticed, it would be only for the word Armstrong.. Both the tune and the lyric should grab the attention of the listener. The composition of music is great, and only if the lyrics are properly written, will the song become a hit. A song which gets hit because of the tune is like a bird flying on one wing, but if the same song gets hit because of the tune and lyrics, then it is a wholesome song. I asked ARR as to who is going to sing the song, for which ARR replied it would be by Hariharan. So, I told him to call Hariharan and see how the song could be adjusted to suit the beat. When Hariharan came for singing , he started writing the song in English, and Hindi. Harharan on seeing the lyric ' Armstrongaaa started exclaming and praising Vairamuthu saying This is Vairamuthu SIR.. ARR was smiling at Vairamuthu.. Hariharan stressed on Armstrongaaa and made the beat go right. This was a small tussle between me , for me it was safeguarding the Language, and for ARR it was safeguarding the music. But a healthy tussle, which ended fine. *General Opinion* I feel that there are two groups which exists all the time. One group wants to listen to music and forget the lyrics, and the other want to concentrate on the lyrics an do not give that much importance to the tune. According to me, For lyrics, tune should be composed, and lyrics should be highlighted. Because of Western Effects, Youngsters want to know the beat, the instruments and ask if their bodies can be shaked for the tune. But I want it to be like Music should be for external effects and Language should be for Internal effects. *SHORTEST TIME FOR WRITING A SONG :-* It all depends on the situation, the mental state and the need of the song. For ARR, I have never written a song in short notice. But Thillana Thillana ( From Muthu ) , was written within an hour and was written on the garden of ARR's Home in Chennai. At that time, the film crew had already come, and singers had come, and ARR requested if the song could be prepared immediately. Vairaamuthu wrote the lyrics swinging on ARR's swing. *LONGEST TIME FOR WRITING A SONG* :- veerapandi Kottaiyile ( from Thiruda Thiruda ) . Because I had written a lot of times, the lyrics, and it took time for finalisation. *WHAT YOU LIKE IN ARR ??* Dedication, Simplicity, and a sense of discipline in

There have been far too many Tamil films where there is a montage song of various scenes of the boy and girl doing cutesy things like walking along the beach, talking, etc. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comarrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, prashanth.palanisamy prashanth.palanisamy@ wrote: hi vithur, h...its been a while since kadhir made a movie and mani also would take a long time to make a tamil movie .considering his time b/w movies and his next being hindi...when he works with big directors its fine..m talking about the small time budding directors...balaji sakthivel,vishnuvardhan et alwell i think ATM was his foray into this but with vijay ...he would have constraints in experimenting as well.anyway i think the point about him making the movie more viewable might be true..but that sounds like being commercial to meviewable or notit should gel into the movie thanks, prashanth --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comarrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Vithur vithurm@ wrote: Hi Prashanth I also read the same article.. What U are saying may be true. But according to me, I think ARR sees the script, and if he is convinced that he can transform the movie by making it more viewable through his Music, he takes a film. well, there are films done by ARR in Tamil, which do have a good screen play like Ayidha Ezhithu or for that matter any Maniratnam film. even dir Kadhir does a good job in his films, and ARR is favourite for Kadhir . Very rarely, ARR does masala movies in Tamil. ATM was also lil different for it was a sure different film even for Vijay. SOK may be a different case. ARR is big and grand and there is no need for his work to get related to a success of a film in Box Office.

( For people who know Tamil, MP3s links will be given in my future mails ) *INTRODUCTION :-* Kaviperarasu ( Renowned scholar ) Vairamuthu is credited with 5 National Awards for Tamil Literature, evergreen Lyricist, credited with Doctorate by Two Universities twice , The Living Legend. He had also won the Sahitya Academy Award for Kallikattu Ithigasam. Had also won the Padmashree Award for Literature. *BEFORE AND AFTER ARR MUSIC :-* Before ARR Music, since 1980 to 1990 ; After 1990 , It has been the wave of ARR. My music journey can be divided into 2 phases. One with Ilayaraja and one with ARR. Being with ARR was different , and being with Ilayaraja was different . during Ilayaraja time, it was classical religiuos music and during ARR time, I could admire heights of Western Classical Music. ARR discovered a blend of Classical and Western Music. Both the MDs have influenced me with their own styles. *How do you change yourself with the changing face of Music ??* This is a good question. Once upon a time, Music was composed based on writings. Later, the trend of writing lyrics for the tune emerged. When , music is composed based on lyrics, the lyricist has a lot of freedom. But when , the lyricist writes based on the tune, he becomes lilttle limited, just like a parrot wishing to fly, but caught in a cage. Then too, the beauty of the tune soothes us and we have started accepting that. But ARR , has accepted my lyrics for some songs and has composed the tune for them. And one of my favourites amongst that is KANNUKKU MAI AZAHGU ( PUDIYA MUGAM). The lyrics was already present, and he composed it based on the lyrics. The tune was so soothing, that I have my doubt if the same song would have been composed before the lyrics was ready. Chinna Chinna Aasai :- ARR gave the tune. That thought was little old to me. I had written a poem titled ennakku Pudikkum ( I like it ) . And it so happened that the lyrics of Chinna Chinna Aasai got inserted finely into the song. We took only that title Chinna Chinna Aasai from my poem, and the rest was seperately written by me. *ANY SONG THAT WAS WRITTEN WITH A TUSSLE WITH ARR :-* Ratchagan - chandiranai Thottatu Yaar Armstronga - There was a healthy fight in this song. ARr had composed a beautiful tune for this song. ARR felt the word Armstrongaaa disturbing the tune a lilttle bit. I said to ARR that if this song was to be noticed, it would be only for the word Armstrong.. Both the tune and the lyric should grab the attention of the listener. The composition of music is great, and only if the lyrics are properly written, will the song become a hit. A song which gets hit because of the tune is like a bird flying on one wing, but if the same song gets hit because of the tune and lyrics, then it is a wholesome song. I asked ARR as to who is going to sing the song, for which ARR replied it would be by Hariharan. So, I told him to call Hariharan and see how the song could be adjusted to suit the beat. When Hariharan came for singing , he started writing the song in English, and Hindi. Harharan on seeing the lyric ' Armstrongaaa started exclaming and praising Vairamuthu saying This is Vairamuthu SIR.. ARR was smiling at Vairamuthu.. Hariharan stressed on Armstrongaaa and made the beat go right. This was a small tussle between me , for me it was safeguarding the Language, and for ARR it was safeguarding the music. But a healthy tussle, which ended fine. *General Opinion* I feel that there are two groups which exists all the time. One group wants to listen to music and forget the lyrics, and the other want to concentrate on the lyrics an do not give that much importance to the tune. According to me, For lyrics, tune should be composed, and lyrics should be highlighted. Because of Western Effects, Youngsters want to know the beat, the instruments and ask if their bodies can be shaked for the tune. But I want it to be like Music should be for external effects and Language should be for Internal effects. *SHORTEST TIME FOR WRITING A SONG :-* It all depends on the

[arr] Re: JODHA AKBAR CDS BY 21st
Frustration is buildling rapidly among many online posters in various forums and some are announcing that they won't buy the CD ultimately due to anger and frustration for all the false starts and delays. Earlier it was announced as Jan 15 for the release, but alas, no music. People are going to the music stores only to be disappointed. Of course people are going to be irritated and frustrated with no official word except word of mouth that the music is delayed further by a few days. BECAUSE this is an ARR Hindi release after a long time, there is a lot of anticipation, tremendously. It's getting a lot of attention, unfortunately, right now, negative attention. I'm going to buy the CD and support Rahman, but this has got to be the most botched up audio release ever in the history of Indian cinema, no offense meant to the JA team who are trying hard to get things right. Once the music is out, all of this waiting and frustration will be a distant and hopefully soon to be forgotten memory. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Mohamed Amin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think its taking extraordinary delay than any other releases between audio release function and exact audio release.
