 Country first for Rahman

MUSIC composer A.R. Rahman now wants to make waves in India after the huge 
success of the Lord of the Rings musical in London’s West End.

Rahmanwants Indian audiences to feel the thrill of a Broadway musical play.So 
the music maestro will soon start working on an original story for amega 
Broadway to be shown to Indian audiences, before taking it aboard.It will have 
international standards and participants in terms of castand crew. But Indians 
will probably be in the lead. The Lord of the Rings West End production cost a 
whopping Rs 950 million. Wonder what will be the budget of Rahman’s current 
project.

Rahman,who had launched his music production company K.M. Music and a 
musicschool in Chennai, has never lost an opportunity to repay hiscountrymen 
for his success.

Thnx Arvind !!! you added more spice in curry :) 

All this lyrics I can relate with my region Maharashtra like sadgudu (kabbadi), 
hand-hulled-rice(sadyacha bhaat), thrashing paddy (Malani chi jaga),  anjarai 
petti (masalyacha dabba) grinding stone (pata). 
Now the song became more intresting for me. This song portrays my native place 
only. wow !!!

I am just curious about one thing that what will be the hindi word for sadgudu 
sadgudu? 

Is tamil easy to learn? How do i start? I am searching one book which amith 
chandran has recommended me thats in marathi (Tamil Shika)
I think it will be easy to learn any language with help of our mothertounge. 
wht do u say?

Thnx to arvind, Vithur and all ARR fans .. There are many songs which I will 
request for translation. Can I? :)

With love and regards

[arr] Amanat Ali will sing for Farah Khan

The Post Report

LAHORE: Singer Amanat Ali will sing for Farah Khan in her new movie.

Talking to The Post via phone Amanat Ali said he would sing four songs
in renowned choreographer-cum-director Farah Khan's next movie.

The music would be given by A R Rehman and the cast of the film was
being finalized. He further said that he was working on his new album
in India and was planning on staying there for the time being.

[arr] AR Rehman on Filmfare nomination

2008-02-20 Thread satish_srini


In an exclusive interview with Times Now, AR Rehman , the music
maestro spoke about his first ever nomination as a Playback singer for
the 53rd Filmfare awards. Filmfare awards may crowd AR Rahman's
mantelpiece, but the 53rd Filmfare Awards will be extra special as he
has been nominated in the Best Playback Singer category for the first
time for Tere Bina from Mani Ratnam's Guru. 

Rehman will compete with the best in the industry. The other nominees
in the same category are:

K K - Aankhon Mein Teri (Om Shanti Om)
Shaan - Jab Se Tere Naina (Saawariya)
Sonu Nigam - Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om)
Sukhawinder Singh - Chak De (Chak De! India)

Times Now managed to find out the reticent musician's reaction on his
nomination. AR Rehman said, "Guru is not an ordinary film for me. It
is an extraordinary one.  I feel good that people are acknowledging me
as a good singer. I was not well when the song was recorded. So, it
sounded shaky. Filmfare has become almost like a home for me now. "

So, the question remains whether Rehman will have yet another award to
add to his collection. One will have to wait for February 24, 2008 to
find out who bags the coveted Best Singer Award.

even so, the pictures must be visible. according to pradeepan he can
see nothing so its a PAL/NTSC problem. I have mailed them in this regard: 

Hello Adam,
My friend has also ordered from your website and has received his
package. He lives in the U.S. and he says it is unplayable. I am
guessing this is because of NTSC/PAL problem. If you are mailing a
product to U.S. and if you exclusively have a website for US where the
orders were made, then isn't it your responsibility to ensure that the
format be in NTSC? It might have been a problem with just his DVD,
awaiting your confirmation regarding this. Thanks for your time.

[arr] Filmare power list - 2007 - Rahman at 6 ...

2008-02-20 Thread Anil Nair
If I got this right .Rahman comes in at no. 6 - yet again the 
only music director in the Top 10.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Chopras_top_Filmfare_Power_List/art
icleshow/2799666.cms

The full article 
Proving once again that the golden levers of power in Bollywood are 
really behind the screen and not on it, the father-son team of Yash 
and Aditya Chopra have, for the third year in a row, come out at the 
top of the Filmfare Power List. 

The Filmfare Power 2007 survey was conducted by AC Nielsen-ORG MARG, 
the largest market research and information company in South Asia. 
Respondents included actors, technicians, financiers, distributors, 
exhibitors and photographers. The results have some major surprises 
and some rude shocks in store. 

Following the Chopras is Shah Rukh Khan, who maintained his No 2 
position, riding largely on the success of his home production Om 
Shanti Om and the Chopras' Chak De , the two biggest grossers of the 
last year. At No 3, in a surprise elevation is Akshay Kumar, who had 
not two but four hits in 2007 - Namastey London , Heyy Babyy , Bhool 
Bhulaiyya and Welcome . 

Amitabh Bachchan, No 3 last year, has slipped four notches to No 7, 
and is now only one ahead of his pretty daughter-in-law, Aishwarya 
Bachchan. Between Akshay and Amitabh is the solid bankable quotient - 
Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and A R Rahman. Aishwarya, who leads 
among the heroines, has pipped Rani Mukerji, who is a hair's breadth 
below at No 9. 

Karan Johar may have sat the year out as far as film-making goes but 
his natty turn as television anchor in Koffee With Karan has won him 
the hamper at No 10, ousting in the process the more productive 
competition. Sanjay Leela Bhansali Saawariya and Vidhu Vinod Chopra 
Eklavya don't seem to have cut the mustard, with their lavish 
productions having failed to stir the box office. 

According to Filmfare, the criteria that decides the winners include 
factors like their box-office draw, their ability to generate funds 
for others, and their ability to call the shots no matter what. 

Which perhaps explains why Yash and Aditya Chopra, who gave the 
country an anthem of sorts of with Chak De India , were catapulted to 
top spot despite four damp squibs - Ta Ra Rum Pum, Jhoom Barabar 
Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Aaja Nachle .

[arr] ARR ranks number 6 in filmfare power list

2008-02-20 Thread Chord
Incredible for a south based music director to be in the sixth most
powerful person position in a North/Hindi dominated bollywood industry
amidst directors, actors, etc.  ARR's music "cuts the crap" and speaks
for itself, powering its way into the hearts and minds of people
irrespective of man made boundaries and categories.  He beat Amitabh
Bacchan who is at number 7! 

If someone told you back in 1992 that in 2008, ARR would outrank AB in
 a power contest in bollywood, would you believe it?  The pied piper
from Chennai is and will be a force to reckon with for a long time to
come.

2008-02-20 Thread Thulasi Ram
that's really good. aamir is in form now. his presence and acting is
churning out good reviews almost instantly. though the story of ghajini is
conventional, the screenplay is terrific and m sure it will leave an
impression on the viewers. i have experienced it already. the director's
touch is great in the movie. needless to say that ARR will be at his best
with his BGM to elevate the mood of every scene immensely.
still i have to keep my finger's crossed to see how it vl be received by the
bollywood audience.

*'Jodhaa Akbar' triumphs abroad
*20th Feb 2008  20.44 IST
By ApunKaChoice

Living up to its name, Ashutosh Gowarikar's film Jodhaa
Akbar<http://www.apunkachoice.com/dyn/movies/hindi/jodhaa_akbar/>is
doing great business overseas.

Despite its running time (close to three and half hours), the film has been
received very well by viewers in USA, UK and the Gulf.



  <http://media.fastclick.net/w/click.here?sid=18489&m=6&c=1>

At the US box-office, the film released with a record number of prints (135)
and opened at 19th spot on the charts, raking in a decent Rs. 6.4 crore in
its run over the weekend. The film got the second highest opening ever to a
Bollywood film in the US after Om Shanti
Om<http://www.apunkachoice.com/dyn/movies/hindi/om_shanti_om/>last
year.

At the UK box-office, 'Jodhaa Akbar' released on 46 screens. The movie made
it to the top ten charts and raked in about Rs. 2.8 crores in its run over
the weekend.

In other countries too, 'Jodhaa Akbar' did not disappoint. In the gulf, it
made upto Rs 1.8 crore. In Australia it made Rs. 50 lakh.

At home, in India, the film is performing as per expectations despite being
panned by a few critics. Reportedly, the film has made Rs. 25 crore.

Trade experts believe that the film may not turn out to be a one-week wonder
and will have a long run due to the absence of any strong opposition at the
box-office for an entire month.

YUVRAAJ is undoubtedly one of the most keenly awaited movies of the year. To
make sure that he makes the film a no-compromise affair, Subhash Ghai has
ensured that the film has the best crew in place to take care of overall
production of the film.

Let's talk about music first. When A R Rahman and Gulzaar saab come
together, one can't think of a better combination. It is this combination
which sets the platform for YUVRAAJ, a musical featuring a formidable cast
that includes Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and Boman
Irani. Shiamak Davar, the man who choreographed Ghai's TAAL as well, is
expected to go all out in giving YUVRAAJ an opulent treatment.

Kabir Lal has lighted up the frames in a way only he can in films like
PARDES, TAAL, KAHO NAA PYAAR HAI and THE HERO to name a few. The
cinematographer is expected to deliver quality work with YUVRAAJ as well
where the bare minimum requirement is to make everything look rich and
glossy.

Last but not the least, with someone like Omang Kumar who has a classic like
BLACK behind him to showcase his skills as an art director, YUVRAAJ looks
all set to be on a right track.

Aamir Khan's next release, after the blockbuster triumph of his directorial
debut venture, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, will be the Hindi remake of the Tamil
blockbuster, GHAJINI. As is known, Aamir is returning to full fledged action
after a long duration. And if our memory serves us right, it was for Vikram
Bhatt's GHULAM, way back in 1998.

Ever since the time of it's announcement, there has been a lot of curiosity
regarding the Hindi title of the GHAJINI remake, which is still without an
official one. But as usual, here is the latest on the subject. GHAJINI is
going to be called just that in Hindi also! This means that there will be no
renaming of the project, as per the current information.

While on the title, the obvious question that comes to mind is what exactly
GHAJINI means in Hindi? Well, there is no such word as GHAJINI in the Hindi
dictionary. Actually there is no word as GHAJINI in Tamil too!

However, knowing Aamir Khan we will not be surprised if just before the
release of the film, he will make public his / makers justification for the
strange title, and believe us, the reason given will be concrete!

*Aamir Khan's Ghajini sold for Rs 900 million*
February 18, 2008
  Pre-release of movie rights have become hot property.

Take the case of the Hindi remake of the Tamil film, *Ghajini*, starring
Aamir Khan, which has reportedly earned an estimated sum of Rs 90 crore (Rs
900 million) by selling its distribution rights.

Last year, Shah Rukh Khan's *Om Shanti Om* was the top grosser in
distribution rights. It sold the rights to Eros for a reported Rs 73 crore
(Rs 730 million).

Definitely.. .. Nosecond thoughts about it. After having watched some
really ordinary or belowaverage movies it was like a refresher. Most
of the movies lacked in alldepartments while some did have good things
in bits and pieces but none of themas a package, did impress me. I did
not have time to review the movie on myvacation. But to say in one
line, TZP had some very fine acting, a nice script,beautiful music and
good direction.

Believe me, if there is one star whose movie wouldattract audience
even without any kind of promotion would be the "TamilSuperstar"
Rajnikanth. But I don't think anyone else has such a crazy
fanfollowing to get the investment back without advertising the movie.

Swades and Lagaan, which according to mewere very good, so thought I
should give it a shot. "May be he has comeout with some good stuff
again", I said to myself.

was super small for any multiplex standard at least I would notgo
there again). I was surprised to see a housefull show. ("How the
heckdid so many of them come to know abt this movie?" ... just
thinkingaloud) . The movie started off with Amitabh Bachchan's
narration about India duringthe Mughal period and soon the camera
panned on to the battle field. I guessthis was around 9.45 in the
night and from then on till 1.20 a.m it was a spectacularshow of audio
and visuals. Many complained about the length of the movie butfor me
it was worth every minute. "You are there to be entertained. Thenwhy
not get entertained for a little longer, why do you complain Think
itslike a 'Buy 2 get 1 free offer'. a few extra minutes free for
the money uhave paid". Probably it is a prejudice that a movie should
run for just 21/2 hours only (get that out of your heads guys).
> I am not reviewing this movie but re-viewing a few moments from my

extras, it belongs to theelegantly beautiful Aishwarya as Jodha Bai
and sophisticated nobleman JalaudinMuhammad played by Hrithik Roshan.
They are such a striking pair. I dint saythis when I saw Dhoom-2
though. The chemistry they share is simply superb. Thecasting could

healing touch..Loads of Thanks to Rahman for such a wonderfull 
Composition.



[arr] Emerging Music Director M.L. Mohammed "s love for ARR

2008-02-20 Thread Vithur
Rahmaniacs,

M.L. Mohammed is an emerging Music Director in the Kannada , Tamil Industry.
He had composed Music for the Kannada Film "Nanda Nandhitha", and also
having five projects in hand. In Tamil, he is doing Kaadhal Mazhai and
Pookadai. He was sharing his love for ARR on Rahmania Show ( nowadays even
budding MDs participate as FANS in sharing their love for ARR )

Fav Songs of ARR - Humma Humma , Pachai Nirame , usilambatti, Telephone
Manipol and the list goes on

He derived inspiration to become a Music Director, by listening to ARR
songs. He says " If you want to learn abt Physics, you should refer to a
good science book, and similarly if you  want to learn good music, then you
have to listen to ARR music, as he is the key ".

Each and Every song of ARR is an encyclopaedia. In qawwalis, he  likes
Khwaja mere Khwaja, Vaaji Vaaji, Piya Haji Ali .

Roja Roja song ( Kadhalar Dhinam ) - Song starts in minor, but suddenly goes
off to a major note.

*Fav Singer - Rahman Sir has signed a guarantee for all singers. if Rahman
Sir has used a singer, it means he/ she is a good singer and we can use him
for our music also, without any second thought. says Mohammed *

He says that its unimaginable to find out the exact chords of a Rahman song
. As a technician, I am still wondering as to how Rahman Sir does it says
Mohammed. .

Doing Re - recording is the biggest challenge for a Music Director.

Fav Re - recording of ARR - Thiruda Thiruda BGMs

He has met ARR on his Bday last year. That was the best day in his life. ARR
just enquired where he is from. That was a super lottery for him , and he
had messaged that to all his friends.

ARR 's prayers, humility, the way he talks, the way he behaves need to be
practised by all. A TRUE ICON

Tamil, speaking tamil, I am realising the greatness of the language, and
have started talking in tamil more frequently now .

I am really stunned at the earnestness of some fans ( in this Yahoo Group )

[arr] The JA soundtrack, before and after the Movie

2008-02-20 Thread Indmov Buff
Ok, so when I got my CD and transferred the tracks to my iPod, in the first 
week I was only listening to the JA album repeatedly which kind of boosted the 
number of repeats number for each of the tracks. Then when I got back to 
listening to all the songs in my iPod (ie the main playlist), unknowingly I 
would keep skipping tracks till I got to a JA track I wanted to listen to. I 
did this till last week and happened to check my 'Most Played' tracks playlist 
and right on top were Jashn-e-bahaara and In lamho (a very close second), 
followed by Thamil Thamila and a few other rahman gems and in the middle of a 
very long list were Kwaja and Azeem-o-shan and Manmohana was at the very bottom 
off the list because for some reason I found that quite difficult to like. 

Watched the movie on Saturday, and since then my listening patterns have taken 
a drastic change. When I checked my 'most played tracks' playlist this morning, 
Manmohana was there , right on top beating Jashn-e-bahaara and In lamho ke   
damon!!! I am unable to stop listening to these three tracks especially 
manmohana. I love the bit in the song that's been used as bgms in the movie! 
They are so soothing. For example in the scene where Akbar walks out of the 
pooja room just after the sindoor scene, completely smitten  by her. It's such 
a lovely piece. It's at 3.10 and 4.45 min in the track. I never thought 
Manmohana would end up being on top of my JA playlist or in fact my whole song 
collection! 

Being a staunch maniratnam fan , I've always felt that the mani-rahman combo is 
stronger than any other combo I've seen in indian cinema but I think I've 
realised now that Ashu-Rahman come a very close second to it and maybe on par. 
I was disappointed with the way Mani did Tere Bina. What a lovely song and what 
rubbish choreography. The song picturisation didn't help the song at all. I 
walked out of JA liking each and every song even more than I did before I got 
to the cinema. I don't think I could say the same about Guru. Of course I 
understand that Maniratnam's approach to cinema is slightly different (and 
personally, better) to that of Ashutosh but Tere Bina for me was a real let 
down. 
 
I've asked my friend to send me the JA tamil CD. It should reach me in the next 
3 days! I can't wait. I am really glad that Srinivas is singing 
Jashn-e-baharaa. I loved what he did with Ay Hairathe in tamil and was kind of 
hoping Rahman would use him for the equivalent of Jashn-e-bahaara and he has! 
YAY! Would be interesting to see what Karthik has done to In Lamho ke daman.
 
I think my concern is more about the lyrics than anything else. I just hope the 
emotions aren't compromised and that they've used a direct translation without 
trying to give it a new dimension because I just loved the hindi lyrics.They 
were so apt and pulled the right emotions.  Has anyone who's heard the tamil 
songs already have anything to say about the lyrics? have the lyricists 
preserved the original emotions of the songs?

Subject: [arr] Side-effects of Jodhaa Akbar

Hi All,
I was just sitting at my balcony, i just saw the moon rising over trees. 
Suddenly 'In lamhon ke...' instruments started echoing in my mind.
This morning i was driving and jashn-e-bahara instrumentals kept on
haunting my mind the whole way.
When i am not listening to the CD, i still keep listening those songs 
from imaginary sources.
This never happened before the release of the movie.
It looks like Visual and Sound effects of the movie have combined together
and attacked on me badly.

Has anyone else been suffering from same decease.
What's the wayout?

Pravinder.





[arr] Variety reviews JA

2008-02-20 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
After the memorable screen heat they generated in dumb megahit“Dhoom:2,” 
Bollywood marquee thesps Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai gofor the slow, slow 
burn in costume romancer “Jodhaa Akbar,” aconnoisseur’s epic that relies more 
on character and dialogue than onbig battles and teeming extras. A return to 
form by writer-directorAshutosh Gowariker (”Lagaan”) after his sappy “Swades,” 
thiscross-cultural big-budgeter about a legendary romance between a 
Muslimemperor and a feisty Hindu princess opened pretty well in its firstframe 
Feb. 15. In the longer run, it looks to carve rosy, though notspectacular, 
returns.
Effectively a prequel to the 1960 classic “Mughal-e-azam,” centered ona romance 
between the couple’s son and a court dancer, “Jodhaa Akbar”is much more than 
just a preachy tale about religious tolerance betweenMuslims and Hindus. Along 
with scripters Haider Ali and K.P. Saxena,Gowariker has come up with a 
long-limbed story that is utterly simplein structure, but decorated with enough 
character interplay and sideplots to keep the movie ticking over to a powerful 
finale.
Clocking in at a mere 205 minutes, compared with the 223-minute
“Lagaan,” the movie lacks the latter’s narrative tautness, and could
benefit from trimming in the early stages of part one. But from the
first musical interlude a half-hour or so in, there’s little downtime,
despite the intimate nature of the material.
Solemnly narrated by veteran Amitabh Bachchan, pic’s intro sketches
the era, starting in the mid-15th century, when the Mughals (supposedly
descended from the Mongols) invaded India. After a succinctly staged
battle,resistance crumbles a century later and Mughal influence spreads
through northern India.

The first Mughal emperor to be born on Indian soil, Jalaluddin
Mohammad Akbar (Roshan), is a strong but tolerant guy. His arranged
marriage to Jodhaa (Rai)is meant to forge links with the Rajputs, the
dominant clan of northern India with a strong warrior tradition.
However, Jodhaa has two demands: She doesn’t have to convert to
Islam, and she can have a Hindu shrine in her quarters at the Mughal
palace in Agra. Jalaluddin admires her spunk and agrees; when, on their
wedding night, she says she needs more time before sharing a bed, he
agrees again.
Next two hours chart Jalaluddin’s patient “courting” of Jodhaa in
between various attempts by others to destroy the relationship and what
it symbolizes. Villains include Jalaluddin’s devoted but ambitious wet
nurse, Maham Anga (Ila Arun, wonderfully evil), Sharifuddin Hussain
(Nikitin Dheer), Jodhaa’s relative, who teams up with a snubbed Muslim
cleric (Abeer Abrar); and a corrupt governor (Shaji Chaudhary). But
aside from a manufactured misunderstanding between Jalaluddin and
Jodhaa that provides the pre-intermission climax, their growing bond
proves stronger than anything politics can throw at them.
Pic is bookended by well-staged setpieces in which opposing armies
face each other on a vast plain. Otherwise, Gowariker avoids military
spectacle, concentrating instead on sequences that define the central
relationship: the putative lovers dueling in a courtyard; Jalaluddin
identifying Jodhaa among a bevy of veiled women; their eventual,
elaborately choreographed declaration of love.
As well as managing the story’s epic span (and showing a natural
feel for framing his characters in widescreen), Gowariker seems to have
a liking for classic Hollywood epics. Parallels abound, the most
obvious being with “Cleopatra” and “The Fall of the Roman Empire.”
No stranger to elegant-cum-spunky costume role, Rai (here billed
under her married surname, Rai Bachchan) handles Jodhaa with ease.
Biggest surprise is Roshan, who brings a commanding physical presence
and vocal heft that he’s shown in none of his earlier,
standard-Bollyhunk roles.
Production values are lavish, with Neeta Lulla’s costumes
complemented by richly dressed locations in Rajasthan and northern
India. Typically rhythmic, percussive score by A.R. Rahman is stronger
in ceremonial setpieces than lyrical ones, though most of the songs are
not directly sung onscreen. CGI in the battle sequences is OK.

Jodhaa Akbar: The Big Budget Making of Mughal-E-Azam

Jump to Comments
Genre: Drama
Director:Ashutosh Gowariker
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Kulbhushan Kharbanda
Storyline: A Mughal Emperor learns love and governance from Hindu Princess 
Jodhaa
Bottomline: An old-fashioned big-budget prequel to Mughal-E-Azam
An epic, by definition, is all about gravity and magnitude.
No love story has ever made history without a high stakes conflict
involving separation and pain or celebration of the power of love.
Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu, Devdas-Paro or Jack-Rose, they all had
their share of soaring highs that plummeted to the lowest of lows.
Admittedly, tragedies, by the nature of their genre, dictate the
dramatic direction of the South-bound character graphs and are better
equipped to make us feel the angst that love brings with it.
Yes, we do have to take into consideration that Ashutosh Gowariker
has chosen to tell us a love-story that has actually worked despite the
odds – religious differences – which in today’s context of frequent
communal violence, seem quite huge.
At a middle-class level: Yes, surely.
But even today, has religion really posed to be that huge a hurdle
in the higher rungs of the society? Ask the ruling Khans of the film
industry. The lifestyles of the rich and the famous transcend cultural
and religious boundaries. Ask Gauri, Reena, Kareena or Katrina, it is
no big deal.
Class has a huge role to play in love stories. The differences
between the rich and the poor are so deeply engrained in the psyche of
our people that it is difficult for the collective conscious of a
society to see the pangs of romance in the lives of a couple brought
into matrimony by parental arrangement. Our only interest in the rich
and famous is voyeuristic and not necessarily empathetic. We don’t
really care.
It’s not like they had an affair or painted the town red with their
romance or did anything even remotely scandalous. It’s not like one of
them was kidnapped and the other sent on a long never-ending exile.
It’s not that it was a love story that caused war or divided people.
Jodhaa-Akbar is a simple story of a married couple reconciling
differences in an arranged marriage set-up, that too in a fairytale
world, where the two dynasties need each other to flourish. Given that
the political context and nature of the romance is not even remotely
epic in scale to demand a 40-crore movie, it is commendable that
Ashutosh succeeds to the extent he has in delivering a three and a half
hour long movie to the multiplex-generation. Even if it reads more like
a coffee-table book than one that will make it to the shelf for serious
academic reference.
To his credit, Ashutosh and Haider Ali have scripted ‘Jodhaa Akbar’
as an insightful prequel to Mughal-E-Azam… Or what went into the making
of Akbar. Now, the making only records incidents, obstacles and hurdles
into what went into the production of a classic, it is not always a
story that can stand by itself.
Here was an emperor who married a Hindu princess, a woman who still
played a vital role in his life – a point illustrated when Jodhaabai
(in Asif’s classic) demands of her king that he does not slay her son.
Now, why would a Muslim Emperor who married a Hindu princess not
understand his son’s love for a courtesan and go to war with his own
son?
Ashutosh and Haider Ali give us a few answers. Akbar did not fall in
love with Jodhaa and then marry her. He fell in love after marrying
her. Even as a young man, Akbar considered principles higher than
family. Sample the scene where he does not object to Jodhaa publicly
being asked to taste the food she’s cooked for him first to ensure it
is safe. He lets his queen go through the awkwardness as required by
the law of the land and then announces he would eat from the same plate
as the Queen of Hindustan.
Thus, the legend of Akbar as a righteous king is further endorsed by
Ashutosh who does not seem to be interested in detail as much as Asif
was. Asif’s Akbar was a much more complex character who was torn
between his love for the country, his wife, his son, his principles and
the promises he had made.
Ashutosh’s Akbar is the eternal do-gooder, always adorned in shades
of white, yellow and the brighter colours of the spectrum and the
darker suits and armours are reserved for his cunning brother-in-law
Shareefuddin.
Given this black-and-white approach to storytelling, Ashutosh
could’ve further gone ahead with his artistic licence and dramatised
incidents or created fictional twists to make us see the miracle of
love and taken us on the rollercoaster of highs and lows.
For want of a serious conflict and drama (the greatest conflict in
the film is a silly misunderstanding that lasts all of the interval
block), Jodhaa Akbar ends up too

Kiran Deohans' swift but sublime cinematography is of international
calibre, at par with 'Gladiator' or 'Braveheart'. A.R. Rahman's music
is a bit of a letdown though. Veering between authenticity and
listener-friendliness, it's a bit of a mellow mishmash signifying
none of those enchanting echoes of Jodha and Akbar's ever-lasting
romanticism.

and i used the resources from this site to get me going...

[arr] Side-effects of Jodhaa Akbar

2008-02-20 Thread Pravinder Sheoran
Hi All,
I was just sitting at my balcony, i just saw the moon rising over trees. 
Suddenly 'In lamhon ke...' instruments started echoing in my mind.
This morning i was driving and jashn-e-bahara instrumentals kept on
haunting my mind the whole way.
When i am not listening to the CD, i still keep listening those songs 
from imaginary sources.
This never happened before the release of the movie.
It looks like Visual and Sound effects of the movie have combined together
and attacked on me badly.

Has anyone else been suffering from same decease.
What's the wayout?

Pravinder.

Definitely Nosecond thoughts about it. After having watched some

of the movies lacked in alldepartments while some did have good things

not have time to review the movie on myvacation. But to say in one
line, TZP had some very fine acting, a nice script,beautiful music and
good direction.

Believe me, if there is one star whose movie wouldattract audience
even without any kind of promotion would be the "TamilSuperstar"

fanfollowing to get the investment back without advertising the movie.

Swades and Lagaan, which according to mewere very good, so thought I
should give it a shot. "May be he has comeout with some good stuff
again", I said to myself.

was super small for any multiplex standard at least I would notgo
there again). I was surprised to see a housefull show. ("How the
heckdid so many of them come to know abt this movie?" ... just
thinkingaloud). The movie started off with Amitabh Bachchan's
narration about India duringthe Mughal period and soon the camera
panned on to the battle field. I guessthis was around 9.45 in the
night and from then on till 1.20 a.m it was a spectacularshow of audio
and visuals. Many complained about the length of the movie butfor me
it was worth every minute. "You are there to be entertained. Thenwhy
not get entertained for a little longer, why do you complain Think
itslike a 'Buy 2 get 1 free offer'. a few extra minutes free for
the money uhave paid". Probably it is a prejudice that a movie should
run for just 21/2 hours only (get that out of your heads guys).
> I am not reviewing this movie but re-viewing a few moments from my
memory whichI thought made this film a piece of art, worth the money I

extras, it belongs to theelegantly beautiful Aishwarya as Jodha Bai
and sophisticated nobleman JalaudinMuhammad played by Hrithik Roshan.
They are such a striking pair. I dint saythis when I saw Dhoom-2
though. The chemistry they share is simply superb. Thecasting could
not have got better than this for the roles of the protagonists.

with her simplicity. MeanwhileHrithik seems to have enjoyed the
character and played Jalal with ease (he hasgiven an outstanding
performance). Not sure if anyone would have done justiceto his role.

[arr] JA Review by Musicindiaonline - "...breathtaking is the word..."

2008-02-20 Thread Dinesh Vaidya
Following is the review of Jodhaa Akbar appeared on 
Musicindiaonline.com at following link

http://www.musicindiaonline.com/ar/i/movie_name/9539/1/

-
Movie Review : 'Jodhaa-Akbar': Breathtaking tale of love, war, 
secularism

  
Producer: Ashutosh Gowariker, Ronnie Screwvala 
Director: Ashutosh Gowariker
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Sonu Sood, Ila Arun, Niketan 
Dheer
Music:  A.R. Rahman

There is Hrithik Roshan as Akbar, in full regalia, watching a 
traditional sufi qawwalli when he suddenly goes into a spiritual 
trance and joins the qawwalls for a dance to divinity.

This historic moment that takes us beyond the dynasties of Mughal 
history, couldn't have been possible without Hrithik's amazing 
capacity to infiltrate the portals of divinity through dance 
movements.

As we traverse the simply stunning spectacle of Ashutosh Gowariker's 
historical epic, often wonder-eyed and open-mouthed, we end up 
looking at Akbar as interpreted by Hrithik rather than as what the 
Mughal legend might have been.

The body language of the sword-wielding poet-warrior reminds us of 
Mel Gibson in 'Braveheart' and Tom Cruise in 'The Last Samurai' 
rather than Prithviraj Kapoor who played Akbar in K. Asif's undying 
classic 'Mughal-e-Azam' with such imposing imperiousness.

In terms of the creative and visual terrain covered in the three-
hour, 20-minute journey, Gowariker's vision subsumes a reined-in 
wealth of ideas and images into an opulent but aesthetic tale of 
love, romance, war, hatred and secularism.

The director transports us into an era when brother battled brother 
in bitter rage. But love blossomed in the heart of a secular Muslim 
emperor who married a fiercely individualistic Rajput princess and 
allowed her space to be her own person.

The narrative patterns Akbar's chequered life of love and wars 
through the various characters who influence his mind and heart. To 
begin with, we see the young Akbar being moulded into a violent 
person, brimming with ideas of revenge and acquisition by his 
senapati-mentor Bairam Khan.
 
In a frightening burst of vengeful brutality, we see Akbar ordering 
his soldiers to throw a stubborn adversary head-first to death.

But all said and done, Gowariker's Akbar is a man who'd rather live 
in peace than wallow in war. Alas, Akbar lived in violent battle-
friendly times.

Then there's the complex relationship that Akbar shares with his 
foster mother, played by Ila Arun. But the friction between the 
foster mother and Akbar's new bride could be straight out of Indra 
Kumar's 'Beta'!

Gowariker also purposely brings in kitschy elements from commercial 
cinema to provide a kind of warm accessibility to his historic tale.

The filming of the durbar song 'Azeem-o-shaan shahenshah' is the last 
word in spectacle. Breathtaking is the word that often comes to mind 
in this tale of vibrant valour and vitality.

Never before have we seen battle sequences so spectacular and 
energetic in Hindi cinema. Take the opening sequence where the battle 
lines close ranks in such passionate movements that the audience 
almost feels trampled in the middle.

Kiran Deohans' swift but sublime cinematography is of international 
calibre, at par with 'Gladiator' or 'Braveheart'. A.R. Rahman's music 
is a bit of a letdown though. Veering between authenticity and 
listener-friendliness, it's a bit of a mellow mishmash signifying 
none of those enchanting echoes of Jodha and Akbar's ever-lasting 
romanticism.

 
The love story occupies the pride of place in 'Jodhaa-Akbar'. The 
sudden marital alliance between the benign king and the free-spirited 
Rajput princess, their post-marriage courtship, the misunderstanding 
that cuts through their growing fondness, and the final and 
irreversible reconciliation, are portrayed with exquisite fluidity.

Not once does the director allow the inherent opulence of his theme 
to overpower the love that grows between them.

Hrithik's pleading, poetic eyes in a warrior's face define the 
historic romance as much as Aishwarya's swan-like grace and 
passionate individualism. After 'Dhoom 2', this pair surely whips up 
a Mughlai feast of passion and romance.

Watch 'Jodhaa-Akbar' as a splendidly spiced-up slice of history. Or 
just savour the chemistry between the warrior and the princess, with 
hundreds of junior artistes, elephants, rabbits and parrots 
accompanying the couple's journey from secularism to eternity.
