[arr] Chennai concert - Shankar Mahadevan

2008-04-15 Thread Vithur
Rahmaniacs,

I got the news from some source that Shankar Mahadevan is going to sing in
the Concert in Chennai... Hopefully this is true. Then, this would be a
really different concert, compared to the recent one that we had with MARG.

Chinmayee is practising Sahana Saral song from Sivaji is another info

Anyone has any info on any other new singer, other than the ones who have
been performing very recently...

 Right now, membership of this group is close to 13K. Pretty
 impressive. Definitely more lurkers than posters in this group. I
 would be interested to know about peak periods of membership
 enrollment. Does this group get the highest number of enrollments
 soon after an ARR soundtrack or movie is released? How has
 enrollment rate varied over time? When was enrollment rate highest
 and lowest? When was dropout highest and lowest? Gopal, it would be
 amazing to get a graphical representation of this, but of course,
 only if you have time!

 Another statistic I was interested in is highest number of posts per
 month since this group's inception. The highest number of posts so
 far has been January of 2008 when JA released. The second highest
 posting period was during the RDB music and movie release from Dec
 2005-Feb 2006. The third highest was in August of 2006 when JOK
 released. Of course, we have to keep in mind the total enrollment
 status during each month for these numbers to be more meaningful.

 I wonder who has the distinction of having the highest number of
 posts since this group started. Probably Gopal or Vijay, but I'm not
 too sure.

 Lastly, WE NEED TO HAVE ARR HIMSELF POST HERE AT LEAST ONCE! :)

 Change is about moving forward On April 20, A R Rahman will perform at The
 Times of India Chennai Changing Notes Concert. As he shot a promo video for
 the concert, the mellifluous maestro told us why he loves Chennai, and what
 changes he'd like to see *Shalini Umachandran | TNN *



 AndrewLloyd Webber, among others, likes to call him the 'Mozart of
 Madras'. But A R Rahman defies definition. The prodigy who studied western
 classical at Trinity College of Music went on to redefine Bollywood scores.
 Having brought world sound to Indian cinema, he also put his version of
 contemporary Indian music — which blends techno, rap, latino, disco, reggae
 and ragas into a sumptuous potpourri — on the world map. He made Broadway
 swing to Bollywood Dreams, and composed stirring anthems for the stage
 version of The Lord of the Rings.

 Through it all, Rahman has constantly reinvented himself. But then, so
 has the city which will always be home to him. Simultaneously centre of
 culture and commerce, traditional and cosmopolitan, Chennai blends the old
 and new with the same effortlessness as Rahman. Maybe the controlled chaos
 of Chennai's constant flux has seeped into Rahman's soul, and is reflected
 in his dazzling ouvre — always fresh, never predictable.

 Like Chennai and its famous child, The Times of India too has always
 celebrated change. Like them, we too believe in staying in tune with
 changing times. That's why it made perfect sense for The Times of India to
 launch an edition in Chennai. And why Rahman is the perfect person to help
 us celebrate the city and our launch, with The Times of India Chennai
 Changing Notes concert on April 20. To be held at St George's school
 grounds, the concert (co-sponsors SAE, TVS Flame, United India Insurance,
 Olympia) is already creating a buzz, with TOI readers lining up to get
 passes for what promises to be a standing-room only blockbuster.

 Rahman has already composed music for a special Times of India promo,
 which he'll perform at the concert. A tip-off: there'll be many
 distinctively Chennai sounds in it, including waves breaking on the beach,
 an auto driver tooting a horn, a pujari with sunglasses revving up his bike,
 a boy beating out a tattoo on a kodam, a streetside vendor making egg
 parathas.

 But that will be then. Right now, we're waiting to interview Rahman as
 he shoots a video to promote the concert. Technicians drape a bright green
 monochrome cloth on a wall and set up lights, while a harried director calls
 out directions. A red and orange towel with a dolphin covers the camera,
 four electricians struggle to get the air-conditioning working, and assorted
 assistants drift around chatting on phones. Cans of film, umbrellas, a rack
 full of men's clothing and, bizarrely, a shower head lie scattered around
 the room. Apart from the view of a surprisingly green Chennai from the
 floor-to-ceiling glass windows on one side, there's nothing to distract from
 the fact that we're all in an immense, stuffy, grey space on the top floor
 of the Acropolis building on Radhakrishnan Salai.

 An hour later, the director decides to move the non-action upstairs —
 to the terrace of a 12-storey building at 3 in the afternoon. He gets his
 assistants to remove all the railings, set up a round trolley that looks
 like a giant's toy railway track and re-assemble the camera — this time
 without the dolphin towel.

 Back downstairs, the producer gets a phone call. He's crossing
 Gemini, she shouts. The make-up man who's been doing a good imitation of a
 meditating Buddha comes to life and shakes his assistant awake. They drag
 chairs across the floor to create a make-up table. The light boys do a quick
 check. The air-conditioner booms to life, as if it's been waiting for
 India's most famous contemporary musician too.

 Rahman walks in wearing a blue kurta over jeans, looking surprisingly
 schoolboylike, and greets the director with a cheery, I tried calling you,
 ya, to tell you I was late but you were out of range.

 He's taken to see the clothing rack; he prefers the sherwani to the
 suit, the blue scarf to the red. The make-up man goes to work with his
 brushes, sponges, combs and clippers and once he's done, clicks a photograph
 on his mobile phone and passes it across to Rahman for his opinion. What do
 you think, better without gel, no? Rahman asks the director. You decide,
 is the answer. A yellowand-white striped towel is whipped out and Rahman
 willingly submits to having his head

Re: [arr] Final thoughts on JA's music

Ture. Jodha - Akbar joins Mangal Pandey. Timeless classics for me.

   I knew it would be a success with us and fans of class music, but
 didn't really know how it would fare with the general audience. Mr.
 Tuteja has admitted he was wrong about his JA's review and that the
 audience has given it a thumbs up. Very happy for ARR and Ashutosh for
 the movie also doing well. It was really the power of melody that made
 this album a success and to me, this is a timeless masterpiece. I still
 cannot stop listening to the songs today and never get bored of them.
 They are just scintilliating with soul and melody and the sound quality
 and production is top notch. Now you know why I was so impatient to
 hear this soundtrack before it came out! Remember all those darn
 delays???

 BTW, we are still missing a song from JA and I wll write a post on that
 shortly.

  Change is about moving forward On April 20, A R Rahman will perform at
  The Times of India Chennai Changing Notes Concert. As he shot a promo video
  for the concert, the mellifluous maestro told us why he loves Chennai, and
  what changes he'd like to see *Shalini Umachandran | TNN *
 
 
 
  AndrewLloyd Webber, among others, likes to call him the 'Mozart of
  Madras'. But A R Rahman defies definition. The prodigy who studied western
  classical at Trinity College of Music went on to redefine Bollywood scores.
  Having brought world sound to Indian cinema, he also put his version of
  contemporary Indian music — which blends techno, rap, latino, disco, reggae
  and ragas into a sumptuous potpourri — on the world map. He made Broadway
  swing to Bollywood Dreams, and composed stirring anthems for the stage
  version of The Lord of the Rings.
 
  Through it all, Rahman has constantly reinvented himself. But then,
  so has the city which will always be home to him. Simultaneously centre of
  culture and commerce, traditional and cosmopolitan, Chennai blends the old
  and new with the same effortlessness as Rahman. Maybe the controlled chaos
  of Chennai's constant flux has seeped into Rahman's soul, and is reflected
  in his dazzling ouvre — always fresh, never predictable.
 
  Like Chennai and its famous child, The Times of India too has always
  celebrated change. Like them, we too believe in staying in tune with
  changing times. That's why it made perfect sense for The Times of India to
  launch an edition in Chennai. And why Rahman is the perfect person to help
  us celebrate the city and our launch, with The Times of India Chennai
  Changing Notes concert on April 20. To be held at St George's school
  grounds, the concert (co-sponsors SAE, TVS Flame, United India Insurance,
  Olympia) is already creating a buzz, with TOI readers lining up to get
  passes for what promises to be a standing-room only blockbuster.
 
  Rahman has already composed music for a special Times of India
  promo, which he'll perform at the concert. A tip-off: there'll be many
  distinctively Chennai sounds in it, including waves breaking on the beach,
  an auto driver tooting a horn, a pujari with sunglasses revving up his bike,
  a boy beating out a tattoo on a kodam, a streetside vendor making egg
  parathas.
 
  But that will be then. Right now, we're waiting to interview Rahman
  as he shoots a video to promote the concert. Technicians drape a bright
  green monochrome cloth on a wall and set up lights, while a harried director
  calls out directions. A red and orange towel with a dolphin covers the
  camera, four electricians struggle to get the air-conditioning working, and
  assorted assistants drift around chatting on phones. Cans of film,
  umbrellas, a rack full of men's clothing and, bizarrely, a shower head lie
  scattered around the room. Apart from the view of a surprisingly green
  Chennai from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on one side, there's nothing
  to distract from the fact that we're all in an immense, stuffy, grey space
  on the top floor of the Acropolis building on Radhakrishnan Salai.
 
  An hour later, the director decides to move the non-action upstairs
  — to the terrace of a 12-storey building at 3 in the afternoon. He gets his
  assistants to remove all the railings, set up a round trolley that looks
  like a giant's toy railway track and re-assemble the camera — this time
  without the dolphin towel.
 
  Back downstairs, the producer gets a phone call. He's crossing
  Gemini, she shouts. The make-up man who's been doing a good imitation of a
  meditating Buddha comes to life and shakes his assistant awake. They drag
  chairs across the floor to create a make-up table. The light boys do a quick
  check. The air-conditioner booms to life, as if it's been waiting for
  India's most famous contemporary musician too.
 
  Rahman walks in wearing a blue kurta over jeans, looking
  surprisingly schoolboylike, and greets the director with a cheery, I tried
  calling you, ya, to tell you I was late but you were out of range.
 
  He's taken to see the clothing rack; he prefers the sherwani to the
  suit, the blue scarf to the red. The make-up man goes to work with his
  brushes, sponges, combs and clippers and once he's done, clicks

THI IS THE ADD OF ARR IN ISAI ARUVI FOR CHENNAI CONCERT




[arr] Semi ARR:- Lajjo back on??

2008-04-15 Thread Abdul Manaf
 
  Lajjo back on?

Looks like Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo is back in the running after having been shelved 
for some time now. But this time around the film will not be starring the 
original choice – Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. 

  
  “Mani spoke to Ash about the story. She showed keen interest in the film and 
now with time on her hand she has decided to take on the film. A south cinema 
actor, Vikram, will make his debut in Bollywood with Lajjo,” says a source. 
“After Guru, Ash and Mani have developed a great comfort level with one 
another. Mani was very disappointed with the way Lajjo never got off the 
ground. So he discussed the film idea with Ash recently. And when she gave him 
a positive response he decided to re-work the script a little and he is now in 
talks for the male lead,” he adds. 

Initially Lajjo was to star Aamir Khan but “creative differences” between the 
two stalwarts is said to have made Ratnam shelve the project. The film will be 
an adaptation of Ismat Chugtai’s book of the same name. 

The first draft of the film showed the male lead called Mirza as a wild and 
corrupt bachelor leading a reckless life. He owns a shop and frequents brothels 
and is coerced into hiring Lajjo, a prostitute, as his maid who then over time 
finds a place in his good books. Mirza marries her but his fierce 
possessiveness sours their lives. Her once brazen sensuality is now perceived 
as obscene. Soon Mirza returns to brothel women and Lajjo finds comfort in her 
neighbour’s arms. The duo is caught red-handed by Mirza who beats her up and 
then divorces her.

In particular I really appreciate the music of Mr. A.R. Rahman. I 
have unfortunately lost the compilation CD which I bought in Jaffna 
and although I was able to locate many of his songs on ITunes, there 
is one in particular I am unable to find...

Although I do not remember the title I remember it was a slow song 
(ballad), and had the word India in the first line...I am unsure if 
it was in Hindi, or Tamil, and I think the first word began with a 
vowel...something like...

...Ha ah re ha..India... 

I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows the song I am talking

Re: [arr] Charting Group Enrollment and other Stats

2008-04-15 Thread : Avinash :
Regarding to the highest No. of posts, I think Mr. Tulasi takes top 
place in recent years. He ruled entire 2007 with his posts of info, 
interviews, replies and nice ARR stuffs.. :-)

And I remember, the highest replies for a post was when Mr. Gopal 
met Rahman in Bangalore Airport and recorded a message for yahoo 
group fans... There was quite long cogratulating messages for that 
post.. :)

Just refresh of some old sweet memories..

[arr] [SemiARR] Sivaji will now speak in Hindi

2008-04-15 Thread satish_srini
Gladwin Emmanuel

Chennai: Produced by AVM and directed by Shankar, `Sivaji the Boss,'
rewrote the box-office history of Tamil cinema. It was Rajnikanth's
100th film in Tamil. The decision to dub the movie came after the
tremendous response it got from the non-Tamil speaking people in the
north.

 The movie has been completely dubbed into Hindi (It will retain its
original title) under the supervision of Swanand Kirkire, a script
writer and lyricist in his own right, at a theatre in Mumbai. The
movie is expected to be released in a couple of weeks. The marketing
process has already started, said S C Babu, CEO of AVM Production.

The Tamil verson had seen a bumper opening in over 850 screens

Since the original three-hour duration may not be acceptable to the
Hindi audience, editing changes have been effected to cut down the
length of the Hindi version to around 2 hours and 20 minutes. Some
portions which have appeal only to a Tamil-speaking audience and
comedy tracks and sequences which will not have the same kind of
appeal for a Hindi audience have been removed without affecting the
continuity of the movie. The lyrics were re-written.

The Tamil verson of the movie had witnessed a bumper opening in over
850 screens, when it was released. With A R Rehman's music, K V
Anand's cinematography and Thottatharani's artwork, the movie has also
won applauds abroad. It managed to find a place in the top 10 movies
in UK box-office. Rajni, reportedly had taken home a wad of Rs 1.60
million for Sivaji which is the most expensive Indian film ever. Even
top Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan charge
about Rs 90 million per film.

I didnt mean it that way. Any copy of ARR 's songs can be discussed, but it
doesnt serve any purpose. We all know for sure that ARR is the undisputed
leader. .

May be we can remove the term  copy  and use ARR ;s tunes used by other
Mds. instead of naming them, and commenting bad abt them. That was my point.

Hey Karthik,

I know u very well. In 2005 we ARR fans met at Anna Tower park beside Iyappan 
Temple. Did u remember that? Myself, you, Vinoth Raju, Baskar, Guruprasad etc., 

We enquired at A.M.Studio itself. They gave us the Audio Media Education Pvt 
Ltd., Office number. Thats it. 

I got an information from one of ARR at chennai fan who knows the close 
associates of ARR said that a new website gonna get launched soon. Registration 
can be done in that. 

I don't know how far this info is true. But as I observed from the consecutive 
interviews of ARR, he himself mentioned initially 150 students are gonna be the 
maximum strength and he got 300 applications so far.

  Lajjo back on?

Looks like Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo is back in the running after having been shelved 
for some time now. But this time around the film will not be starring the 
original choice – Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. 

  
  “Mani spoke to Ash about the story. She showed keen interest in the film and 
now with time on her hand she has decided to take on the film. A south cinema 
actor, Vikram, will make his debut in Bollywood with Lajjo,” says a source. 
“After Guru, Ash and Mani have developed a great comfort level with one 
another. Mani was very disappointed with the way Lajjo never got off the 
ground. So he discussed the film idea with Ash recently. And when she gave him 
a positive response he decided to re-work the script a little and he is now in 
talks for the male lead,” he adds. 

Initially Lajjo was to star Aamir Khan but “creative differences” between the 
two stalwarts is said to have made Ratnam shelve the project. The film will be 
an adaptation of Ismat Chugtai’s book of the same name. 

The first draft of the film showed the male lead called Mirza as a wild and 
corrupt bachelor leading a reckless life. He owns a shop and frequents brothels 
and is coerced into hiring Lajjo, a prostitute, as his maid who then over time 
finds a place in his good books. Mirza marries her but his fierce 
possessiveness sours their lives. Her once brazen sensuality is now perceived 
as obscene. Soon Mirza returns to brothel women and Lajjo finds comfort in her 
neighbour’s arms. The duo is caught red-handed by Mirza who beats her up and 
then divorces her.

We are planning to have it in a orphanage or a home, as the number of people
joining us this week end may be huge.

No need to enroll or anything like that. I dont think, many from YG have
been joining us before too.. ( Sorry to say this ). The response from orkut

are in YG.

If interested, just come directly to the venue. would keep you posted.

If you haven't heard the background score for the Tamil movie Thiruda
Thiruda, you need to drop everything you have now, right now and rush to
find it anywhere you can and listen to it.

And I can bet you that you will be mesmerized. The background track on the
album encompasses all phases the movie moves through. For the love of God,
the visuals of Mr. oz jumping from the hill on to the train are flashed by
my brain even today. Notwithstanding that the first time I heard it I was in
my early twenties… today it's the late thirties… but the freshness of those
visuals and stunts oz performs in his head each time the finger hits play on
Thiruda Thiruda's background score… breathless!!! The soundtrack was
released in Hindi titled Chor Chor.
*Something to pop your eyeballs out of the sockets*: Ram Gopal Varma wrote
the story and Mani Ratnam directed it.

This makes you see the aftermath of riots in your head and the healing touch

[arr] 'The time for India in the western world is now'

2008-04-15 Thread Vithur
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Editorial/The_time_for_India_in_the_western_world_is_now/articleshow/2954406.cms

For A R Rahman, the world is a musical oyster. His musical
scoreshttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Editorial/The_time_for_India_in_the_western_world_is_now/articleshow/2954406.cms#for
Tamil and Hindi films have been hugely popular. Having nurtured the
dream of creating a self-contained western music orchestra, he's now working
towards that dream. Rahman talks to Subhash K Jha:

At 41, is there a sense of satisfaction within you?

In my life I've always found dreams do come true, though often they come
true long after you've forgotten them. Just preserve your dream at the
bottom of your heart and wait for it to fructify. For six years I've been
nurturing a dream of giving western classical
musichttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Editorial/The_time_for_India_in_the_western_world_is_now/articleshow/2954406.cms#a
legitimacy in our country, to cultivate the dedication and discipline
of
orchestral 
musichttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Editorial/The_time_for_India_in_the_western_world_is_now/articleshow/2954406.cms#in
our youngsters, who at the moment feel that western classical is too
distant and esoteric for them.

My ultimate dream is to create an orchestra that is capable of performing
the world's best musical pieces. Today, after carrying this dream in my
head, I'm ready to implement my passion for western music. We've launched
our music conservatory.

What do you hope to achieve?

I want to teach young musicians how to play within an orchestra. As things
stand if I want to record orchestral music I've to go to Prague. If
Ilaiyaraaja wants to record an epic score he goes to Budapest. Why can't we
do it right here in our own country? I want to build a repertoire of
musicians who can play western instruments as expertly as the sitar or
tabla. Our talented young musicians who want to learn western classical
music have to head for London. I want to give a certain legitimacy to
western classical music in our country.

Indian classical music has room for unlimited improvisation and spontaneity.
A classical recital requires far more formal discipline. And the whole
orchestra brings one emotion into play throughout a recital. We don't have
that discipline in our country. It used to be there. But now the younger
generation is more enthused by other forms of western music like
dancehttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Editorial/The_time_for_India_in_the_western_world_is_now/articleshow/2954406.cms#and
hip-hop.

Does this dream project mean you'd be moving away from film music?

No, my film compositions always have a core of classical music. When I say I
want to nurture orchestral music in our country it doesn't mean that the
students will be playing Bach and Beethoven all the time.

Now you're spending a lot of time at home rather than travelling.

I think the time for India in the western world is now. The respect for all
things Indian has gone up in recent times. We need to take an initiative to
propagate our culture. Yes, I've consciously cut down on assignments in
Mumbai. I'm happy I'm moving to another level. The unknown always fascinates
me. If it didn't, a Roja wouldn't have happened.

   2005-Feb 2006. The third highest was in August of 2006 when JOK
   released. Of course, we have to keep in mind the total enrollment

   I wonder who has the distinction of having the highest number of

  Change is about moving forward On April 20, A R Rahman will perform at
  The Times of India Chennai Changing Notes Concert. As he shot a promo video
  for the concert, the mellifluous maestro told us why he loves Chennai, and
  what changes he'd like to see *Shalini Umachandran | TNN *
 
 
 
  AndrewLloyd Webber, among others, likes to call him the 'Mozart of
  Madras'. But A R Rahman defies definition. The prodigy who studied western
  classical at Trinity College of Music went on to redefine Bollywood scores.
  Having brought world sound to Indian cinema, he also put his version of
  contemporary Indian music — which blends techno, rap, latino, disco, reggae
  and ragas into a sumptuous potpourri — on the world map. He made Broadway
  swing to Bollywood Dreams, and composed stirring anthems for the stage
  version of The Lord of the Rings.
 
  Through it all, Rahman has constantly reinvented himself. But then,
  so has the city which will always be home to him. Simultaneously centre of
  culture and commerce, traditional and cosmopolitan, Chennai blends the old
  and new with the same effortlessness as Rahman. Maybe the controlled chaos
  of Chennai's constant flux has seeped into Rahman's soul, and is reflected
  in his dazzling ouvre — always fresh, never predictable.
 
  Like Chennai and its famous child, The Times of India too has always
  celebrated change. Like them, we too believe in staying in tune with
  changing times. That's why it made perfect sense for The Times of India to
  launch an edition in Chennai. And why Rahman is the perfect person to help
  us celebrate the city and our launch, with The Times of India Chennai
  Changing Notes concert on April 20. To be held at St George's school
  grounds, the concert (co-sponsors SAE, TVS Flame, United India Insurance,
  Olympia) is already creating a buzz, with TOI readers lining up to get
  passes for what promises to be a standing-room only blockbuster.
 
  Rahman has already composed music for a special Times of India
  promo, which he'll perform at the concert. A tip-off: there'll be many
  distinctively Chennai sounds in it, including waves breaking on the beach,
  an auto driver tooting a horn, a pujari with sunglasses revving up his bike,
  a boy beating out a tattoo on a kodam, a streetside vendor making egg
  parathas.
 
  But that will be then. Right now, we're waiting to interview Rahman
  as he shoots a video to promote the concert. Technicians drape a bright
  green monochrome cloth on a wall and set up lights, while a harried director
  calls out directions. A red and orange towel with a dolphin covers the
  camera, four electricians struggle to get the air-conditioning working, and
  assorted assistants drift around chatting on phones. Cans of film,
  umbrellas, a rack full of men's clothing and, bizarrely, a shower head lie
  scattered around the room. Apart from the view of a surprisingly green
  Chennai from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on one side, there's nothing
  to distract from the fact that we're all in an immense, stuffy, grey space
  on the top floor of the Acropolis building on Radhakrishnan Salai.
 
  An hour later, the director decides to move the non-action upstairs
  — to the terrace of a 12-storey building at 3 in the afternoon. He gets his
  assistants to remove all the railings, set up a round trolley that looks
  like a giant's toy railway track and re-assemble the camera — this time
  without the dolphin towel.
 
  Back downstairs, the producer gets a phone call. He's crossing
  Gemini, she shouts. The make-up man who's been doing a good imitation of a
  meditating Buddha comes to life and shakes his assistant awake. They drag
  chairs across the floor to create a make-up table. The light boys do a quick
  check. The air-conditioner booms to life, as if it's been waiting for
  India's most famous contemporary musician too.
 
  Rahman walks in wearing a blue kurta over jeans, looking
  surprisingly schoolboylike, and greets the director with a cheery, I tried
  calling you, ya, to tell you I was late but you were out of range.
 
  He's taken to see the clothing rack; he prefers the sherwani to the
  suit, the blue scarf to the red. The make-up man goes to work with his
  brushes, sponges, combs and clippers and once he's done, clicks a photograph
  on his mobile phone and passes it across to Rahman for his opinion. What do
  you think, better without gel, no? Rahman asks the director. You

 Chennai: Produced by AVM and directed by Shankar, `Sivaji the Boss,'
 rewrote the box-office history of Tamil cinema. It was Rajnikanth's
 100th film in Tamil. The decision to dub the movie came after the
 tremendous response it got from the non-Tamil speaking people in the
 north.
 
  The movie has been completely dubbed into Hindi (It will retain its
 original title) under the supervision of Swanand Kirkire, a script
 writer and lyricist in his own right, at a theatre in Mumbai. The
 movie is expected to be released in a couple of weeks. The marketing
 process has already started, said S C Babu, CEO of AVM Production.
 
 The Tamil verson had seen a bumper opening in over 850 screens
 
 Since the original three-hour duration may not be acceptable to the
 Hindi audience, editing changes have been effected to cut down the
 length of the Hindi version to around 2 hours and 20 minutes. Some
 portions which have appeal only to a Tamil-speaking audience and
 comedy tracks and sequences which will not have the same kind of
 appeal for a Hindi audience have been removed without affecting the
 continuity of the movie. The lyrics were re-written.
 
 The Tamil verson of the movie had witnessed a bumper opening in over
 850 screens, when it was released. With A R Rehman's music, K V
 Anand's cinematography and Thottatharani's artwork, the movie has also
 won applauds abroad. It managed to find a place in the top 10 movies
 in UK box-office. Rajni, reportedly had taken home a wad of Rs 1.60
 million for Sivaji which is the most expensive Indian film ever. Even
 top Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan charge
 about Rs 90 million per film.

i agree that discussion on KMC was dominated in the koffee with anu program.
they cud have made it two episodes.. i felt that they kinda slipped the
golden opportunity with ARR.. it was a mega chance.. anyways, the program
was overall really good..

indiaglitz had 3 clips and had to be continued in the end.. they havent
uploaded the rest of clips, yet.

 recently quite interesting. For the on TV segment all they could do is to
 find just 3 people. I am

[arr] Lets Get Into Action.

2008-04-15 Thread PRATAP
I tink we are not going to get anythin saying HJ coppied this and that. What 
need to be discussed is the song PilotesAutomatqies which is coppied from 
OttagathaKattikko by ARR. I don't credits are given to ARR...

I found this article. Read it...

A R Rahman's 'Ottagatha Kattikko'(Gentleman, 1993) and   La 
Caution's 'PilotesAutomatqies', 2005.   
  This one's a reverse! Or, it possibly 
could be. Just came across (thanksto messages in the Rahman Yahoo Group and 
TFM Page) a track 'PilotesAutomatqies' by a French hip-hop group called 'La 
Caution'. And itsamples almost throughout the song, A R Rahman's 1993 
chartbuster 'OttagathaKattikko' from Gentleman (called 'Roop Suhana lagta 
hai' in Hindi!). Thehip-hop track is part of La Caution's 2005 album, 'Arc 
En Ciel Pour DalToniens'. Now, a few pertinent questions. Does the French 
album includea credit to Rahman? How did they come to know about a Tamil 
track...anypossible Indian connection somewhere? And most importantly, does 
   Rahman know?

Hey Karthik,

I know u very well. In 2005 we ARR fans met at Anna Tower park beside Iyappan 
Temple. Did u remember that? Myself, you, Vinoth Raju, Baskar, Guruprasad etc., 

We enquired at A.M.Studio itself. They gave us the Audio Media Education Pvt 
Ltd., Office number. Thats it. 

I got an information from one of ARR at chennai fan who knows the close 
associates of ARR said that a new website gonna get launched soon. Registration 
can be done in that. 

I don't know how far this info is true. But as I observed from the consecutive 
interviews of ARR, he himself mentioned initially 150 students are gonna be the 
maximum strength and he got 300 applications so far.

   Hello All,

 I had an opportunity to spend some time in Jaffna at the northern tip
 of Sri Lanka in 2005. While there I was exposed to Hindi and Tamil
 music for the first time...and it was absolutely amazing, and life
 changing!

 In particular I really appreciate the music of Mr. A.R. Rahman. I
 have unfortunately lost the compilation CD which I bought in Jaffna
 and although I was able to locate many of his songs on ITunes, there
 is one in particular I am unable to find...

 Although I do not remember the title I remember it was a slow song
 (ballad), and had the word India in the first line...I am unsure if
 it was in Hindi, or Tamil, and I think the first word began with a
 vowel...something like...

 ...Ha ah re ha..India...

 I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows the song I am talking
 about I would really appreciate the title.

 Thank you for reading!
