Re: [arr] Time now to accept ARR - Ashutosh combo as No. 1 in India - My opinion
Dude ! you need not go to the extent of saying insult all. It is just the discussion about Ashu yet to give dimensions that Mani has given without Arr with Arr. True to the fact mani ratnam has proved on more good movies with any music director. Why left Pagal Nilavu his debut movie before Mouna Ragam. PN is a hit. Mani is highly budget conscious do not experiment with larger-than-life movies.

Mani's thinking is far beyond than Ashu's... I think no one other than Mani can give an idea to compose songs in Chor Chor/thiruda thiruda. The BGM of Dil Se...the song concept for Dile Se re, satrangee re its like awesome. Take any song from Roja... in India rukmani rukmani is 1st song of its kind... and think about the picturization. What abt iruvar/Kannathil muthamittal/Bombay/Alepaudey/GURU?? The best thing of mani-arr combo is the freshness and new blend... something never before heard... be it songs or bmg...so innovative Innivation also noted in RDB BGMs.. I am telling u the diff between Ashu and Rakesh mehera in terms of innovation: The song Ghanana ghanana... the part Mana dharkaye bijuria in 3 times (lyrics may be wrong)...its called a Tihai in hindustani classical... but what Rahman did in the last phrase he added mana mana dharkaye bijuriawhich is technically not correct or out of beat... but musically awesome and innovative... but I am sure...this is coming completely out of Rahman's musical mind...no contribution from Ashu. Now consider the song Khalbali ziddi... a totally misfit song to the Rebels in 1940's India... but Ziddi.. portion is being played when Bhagat Sing and his followers are fasting here Rakesh is injecting the song in right place Also take the moment the patriots are hiding and British police chasing...and a rock kind of guiter is in background...just like telling I'll break free...this is innovation, again Rahman is injected by Director but in Ashu's movies songs and bgms are contemporary... real good compositions but not surprising. Anyway... all these are my personal feelings... Arijit On 21/02/2008, Pradeepan R [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the reason why Ashutosh-ARR combo works well is because CONSCIOUSLY INTENTIONALLY Ashutosh makes the movie with plenty of scope for BGM. for example. consider a scene from Lagaan. Indian batsman gets hit on the head. Ashu intentionally shows reactions from atleast 4 or 5 characters for well over a second, with closeup of their faces. This definitely needs a good BGM. another example from Swades. SRK stares at the open sky for a few seconds upto a minute. There HAS to be a BGM there.. with Mani, things are more casual - less cinematic (may be termed as mature). But still ARR has lot of chances for good BGM, but not so much as the SOngs itself. Mani gives ARR a great chance for scoring songs - that can be heard with the movie as well as without any idea of the Movie.. with Ashu, its more blended with the movie.. I'm not comparing Ashu Mani , but it will be appropriate to conclude that - Ashu will make a great director for a real 'musical'. (ARR should use him if he plans to make a musical in India). - Mani will make a great director for fact based, closer to life style movies.

[arr] Lyrics of Shauk Hai from Guru
http://bollywoodtadka.com/2008/02/10/flashback-chartbuster-lyrics-song-%e2%80%98shauk-hai%e2%80%99-from-the-movie-guru/ May be this was posted earlier ** *Movie* – Guru *Cast* – Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan *Director* – Mani Ratnam *Music Director* – A.R. Rahman *Song* – 'Shauk hai' *Lyrics* – Gulzar *Singer* – Sowmya Rao *Tadka spice* - While many of our readers would be surprised on this short poem's lyrics, we are sure that you'll rediscover it's beauty once you listen to this background score number from Guru. sansanee naavelon ka… ye ishq ke baavalon ka… sansanee naavelon… ye ishq ke baavalon… barf se… khelte… baadalon ka… shauk hai… raat ka… shauk hai…. raat ki… saundhi si…. khamoshi ka… shauk hai…. ho… shauk hai… subha ki… raushni… bezubaan subha ki o gungunati raushni ka… shauk hai… ho… shauk hai… ho… shauk hai… *Sowmya Rao* may have sung a lot of numbers which became immensely popular in her career. But when ahe teamed up with *A.R. Rahman* to give her voice to these magically beautiful lines, little could she have known that this 'song', if one may call it so, would add a gem of an effect to the background score of *Guru*. The lyrics by *Gulzar*, were used to portray the dreams of a character dying too early for her age, played by *Vidya Balan*, and explored her various shauks (hobbies), right from reading sensational novels, to the silent freshness of the morning sunrays. The song might be short, but it leaves you asking for far much more. After all, life's best things come in small packages! Enjoy :) -- regards, Vithur AIMING TO BE A TRUE RAHMANIAC

[arr] Rehman Takes you in to the past - Magic of Jodha Akbar Music
Dear Rahman Lovers, I just watched Jodha Akbar and its an amazing movie well Let me change it and put it as Musical Epic. I loved the way .. Rahman took control of the movie and gave great feel to it, I must say none other then Rahman could match the caliber of the movie add value. I just like to let all the others who are yet to watch the movie do not go for the visual go for the Music BGM its like you are listening to someone who lived in that Era, Rahman takes you in to the past. My favorites BGMS from the movie - Well I must say that movie has it all but the followings scene are Exceptionally Amazing - Grand Opening of the Movie ( SOnu Nigam voice and bachan takes over naration ) - Introduction to different kingdoms in Mughal Region - Introduction of Akbar / Many variations through out the movi for akbar - Man Mohana Pathos Version / Variations - Drum Bit while Aish Hrithik Sword fight - Music at the battle field - Variations on Jashne Bahar - Music bits potraying akbars helpless situations within his family - Interval Bit These are some Exceptional pieces of music which you have never heard on any historical epics like I said Rahman is the hero of this movie behind the screen. Thank you Rahman for another Treat !!! Regards Madhu

Re: [arr] Director Krishna 's experiences with ARR
thanks 4 sharing, vithur. nice exp reading these On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Director Krishna directed his debut movie Sillenu Oru Kaadhal, and got a chance to work with ARR in his very first movie . 1. How did you become a Director ? It was a long cherished dream of about 12 years . But the starting point of me becoming a director was because of Rahman Sir. I didnt have any idea of whom to start this film from , and how to go about it . Kalaipuli Dhanu was the producer. One day, Dhanu Sir called me and told me that an appointment with Rahman Sir has been sought and he told me to come. I was so happy to listen to him saying that as I will never know if such a time would ever happen in the future. It was a very rainy day, and my bike was also giving me some problems. I came to ARR studio fully drenched. Rahman sir told that he would listen to the script another day.But I was ready with the script. And also asked if we could finish it in 15 minutes, as he had some other commitment to follow. But I took 2 1/2 hrs of his time. He didnt tell anything, and even switched off his mobile and was listening. After 2 1/2 hrs, he told to call Dhanu ( Producer ) and asked When can we have the composing ?. And that day cannot be forgotten in my life First I met Rahman sir, and then only was the script finalised with Actor Surya. we did the recording for Munbe Vaa song . 2. When did you get to hear Rahman Sir songs ? right from the time Roja , I have been liking Rahman Sir song. The first song that Rahman Sir gave was Munbe Vaa, and next was Machaikaari. Picturisation of Rahman Sir songs was a tough challenge for me. He composes music so superbly, and its a real challenge to picturise them well. When I had discussion with Rahman Sir, regarding Munbe Vaa song, I told him the desire of picturising it in that way. So Rahman Sir visualised it before I could visualise and gave me that wonderful song. 3. Other experiences with ARR ?? Apart from his music, which no can fathom, he is a very good human being. The thought that I had about him at a distance , got transformed into an admiration, when I went near him. A man of such heights, behaving like a very ordinary person increased my admiration levels. He sees everybody as a human being, irrespective of whosover he may be and whatsoever he may be. I am also trying my level best to be like ARR 4. David Lee - Fav Hollywood Director 5. future Film - Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Its a film produced by Motherland Pictures . 6. Fav Songs of ARR - Kaadhal Rojave, Vennilave ( Minsarava kanavu ) , Maduraikku Pogadhadee ( ATM ) . Athiradhee ( SIVAJEE ) A director must be a good experiencer of music. He should be able to experience it first. ARR finished all the songs of SOK within 30 minutes. The first and foremost tune of ARR was liked by me . ARR told me I do not know. I liked working with your team. It makes me feel energetic. Fav Songs in Hindi - Roobaroo ( RDB ) , chaiyya chaiyya, Tanha tanha ( Rangeela ) , Chinamma Chilakkama ( Meenaxi ) Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Future film; a Musical Film. I wanted ARR for this. But he is too busy. But If I approach him, he will not say NO. But I do not want to pressurise him for this. But I wanted ARR to light a candle for my film, as I am inroducing a New Music Director. ARR asked me Tell me ; What help you want. I seeked ARR's Blessings for which he told You will surely become a good director. Do not worry. My prayers are always there .

[arr] Save Jodhaa Akbar
http://www.mid-day.com/web/guest/opinion/middayreaders/article?_EXT_5_articleId=1006717_EXT_5_groupId=14 JodhAa Akbar is such a brilliant film that we can say this film beats any Hollywood film. Ashutosh Gowariker is a director with a great vision. The actors, photography, sets, costumes, jewelry, music, story, screenplay dialogues are par excellence. The time has come that India will rule the film industry in the world. It is so sad to see that some political parties are protesting against this film. This film has nothing against the Rajputs. We have always read in our history books that Akbar married Jodhabai to reduce conflicts and have an alliance with Rajputs. It is evident that the people protesting are paid hooligans and have no knowledge of the content of the film. It seems that the issue is political. And the government is not able maintain law and order in the country as we can see in the case of Raj Thackeray and the film Jodhaa Akbar. It is a very sad situation and we as Indians should support this film. Pravinder.

[arr] Sumptuous Mughal epic puts love and religion to the test
http://www.thetimes.co.za/Entertainment/Article.aspx?id=712472 Sumptuous Mughal epic puts love and religion to the test Published:Feb 24, 2008 -- LARGER THAN LIFE: Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan play the leads in Jodhaa Akbar, Ashutosh Gowarikar's epic which suggests that love and worship are intricately linked JODHAA AKBAR (8/10): A fine line separates a good filmmaker from an exceptional one. The exceptional one understands the value of paucity, realising that too much of a good thing doesn't necessarily equate to a good thing. For all of Ashutosh Go- warikar's successes, this remains his single big- gest failing. Had he lopped an hour off this film, it would have been sensational. It is very watchable, but too much time is spent fleshing out characters that have little say in the eventual outcome. The battle scenes at the start are also overdone. By the time Gowarikar gets to the relationship between Mughal Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and Rajput princess Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), valuable time has frittered away. From then on, the pace lifts, resulting in some inspired moments as the narrative becomes more thought-provoking and entertaining. Although this is not a chest-thumpingly brilliant film, it has been sumptuously assembled, magnificently shot and presented on a larger-than-life scale that makes for grand cinema. Full marks to Gowarikar for having the courage to tackle the epic genre, and while the historical accuracy of the events is open to debate, one never doubts his intentions. It is in the psychology of the film that there is so much to admire. National unity has always been a big driver for Gowarikar, and he addresses it with sincerity. In Lagaan, in which a group of villagers whip the British at their own game of cricket, he dismantled class and religious barriers. In Swades, a more modern group of villagers were empowered to fend for themselves. The relationship between Akbar and Jodhaa is used to explain what inspired him to adopt the concept of a universal religion, Deen-e-elahi, whereby one set of beliefs does not carry more weight than another . One thing about this film that is beyond question is that its heart is in the right place. It suggests that love and worship are intricately linked and that love for the pleasure of God is in itself an act of worship. Akbar's love for Jodhaa makes him more tolerant and more aware of his subjects' needs. As a result, he becomes a more just and more beloved ruler. The narrative does not deny his political astuteness or that he manoeuvred situations for his benefit, but it shows him as a man of great vision and greater empathy. In last week's Business Times, branding guru Simon Barrow said successful companies had staff that loved them, and 400 years ago Akbar employed the same approach. His people loved him so much that they bestowed the title of Akbar, meaning great, on him. Jodhaa is credited with bringing it about. With his kingdom expanding , the young emperor encounters resistance from the Rajputs, a proud people who would not succumb without a fight. War appears imminent, but to avoid it, one of the Rajput kings (Kulbushan Kharbanda) goes against the wishes of his colleagues and agrees to cede his territory to Akbar, provided he takes Jodhaa's hand in marriage. She's a remarkable woman, incredibly good-looking and of great integrity. The proposal does not please her, but she agrees on two conditions: that she will not change her faith and that she'll be allowed to practise her rituals in the palace grounds. Akbar realises that acceding to her request will have serious repercussions, but a thirst for success and a growing admiration for this feisty woman lead him to agree. Love isn't packaged into an arranged marriage and needs time to develop, so Akbar must exercise patience before she warms to him. But just as that begins to happen, some of his advisers conspire to drive a wedge between them. Roshan gets under the skin of his character and is an extremely convincing Akbar. He is at the soul of the film, while Aish is its heart. She has the regal presence of a princess in a role that combines her scorching good looks with a steely determination, making her character easy to fall in love with . Ila Arun as Akbar's wet-mother, Maham Anga, is the other stand-out performance. AR Rehman's music is given a presentation befit- ting it. The emperor's song, Azeem o Shaan, is magnificent, while the two romantic songs are sumptuous. But the most stirring tune is the quawali Maula mere Maula, which shows a great understanding of the Sufi dance attributed to Maulana Rumi. It's superb. The cocktail of spirituality, romance and Mughal politics combine to make a marvellous statement on national unity that is relevant in a world where religion is abused to drive wedges between communities. For that reason, and for advocating love as a means of winning over the hearts and minds of
