The words Rahmaniacs, Rahmantic(s), Rahmania are being freely used in online
media now more than ever and i feel it's only a matter of time before it
enters wikipedia and mainstream media and hopefully enters into dictionary
in his lifetime! :)

When A Treat Is Not A Treat, But Is A Double Treat! 
Trust A R Rahman to
pull a fast one on us when least expected. For the past 3 years we’ve
been fed on crumbs, literally – there have been a measly 3 albums (Rang De 
Basanti, Guru and Jodhaa Akbar)
composed by the musical genius since 2006 and we’ve been forced to
sportingly take that lying down. And now out of the blue, two A R
Rahman albums releasing one day apart! Talk about a double treat. And
even though I know that as a die-hard A R Rahman fan I should be
ashamed for not having had a shadow of an inkling that Rahman had been
preparing to cut his own album for the past 6 months or so, there’s a
certain special charm to pleasant surprises like these. It kind of
makes me wish I hadn’t spent the 6 months before the release of the 7th Harry 
Potter book obsessing about the million or so theories concerning anything and 
everything about Potterverse.

Right then, so the big question, of course, is – how good are the two new A R 
Rahman albums – Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Ada? I’ll start with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane 
Na, or JTYJN for short (I really did think Aamir Khan, of all people, wouldn’t 
find
the need to have the title of his movie sound like the first half of
the script). The movie is supposed to be a youthful romance, and
Rahman, as always, makes sure that every track in the album perfectly
fits the theme of the movie. The first track, Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi is - 
there’s no other word for it – vintage A R Rahman. In other words, a very very 
good composition. Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai is somewhat a middling track – a little 
weird on melody, and the kind of song you don’t really know whether to like or 
not. Nazrein Milaana almost sounds like Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy territory, and I 
think I should
add here that Rahman does a better Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy than anyone else,
maybe even better than the trio themselves. I normally hate to use this
word, but the track is wonderfully- peppy. So much for the perennial classical 
inclinations of the maestro.

Pappu Can’t Dance is, plain and simple, disappointing. If there has been one 
grouse I
have held against Rahman these past few years, other than his tendency
to occasionally disappear from the music scene for months together, is
that he seems to have lost his touch when it comes to dance numbers.
Which was the last really rocking dance number you heard from him? Masti Ki 
Pathshala from Rang De Basanti?
When I heard that song for the first time, I had a hard time getting
past the fact that the song actually had no tune to speak of.
Personally, I thought the Meherbaan track from Tehzeeb was great, but even that 
was nearly 5 years ago. I don’t know about you, but I really miss the days of 
Rangeela Re and Humma Humma. But we must make do with what we have, and what we 
have is still quietly and impressively enthralling. Kahin To Hogi almost sounds 
like a Westlife/Boyzone track with Hindi lyrics, and it
does its job well. And can we ever have a Rahman album without a single
track that strays dramatically from the beaten Bollywood path? Tu Bole Main 
Boloon is laden with heavy jazz and funk elements, and while I’m sure it’d
suit the context of the movie well, I can’t really say that I enjoyed
the track. 

Ok, enough of film talk. Let’s talk about Rahman’s own privately recorded album 
Ada now. The thing that struck me the moment I started listening to the
tracks of the album is how unnatural Rahman’s songs sound when sung by
typically dulcet singers like Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. Maybe I don’t
notice that in Rahman’s Bollywood albums, but then again, how often
does he sign up the typical Bollywood singers anyway? I personally
can’t get enough of Rahman’s own vocals – there’s something very
endearing about the way he completely disregards the lyrics of the song
(he still can’t speak Hindi, even after all these years) and gets lost,
almost like a child, in the rhythm and melody of the track. As it turns
out, however, there’s just one song sung by him in the album, and that
put me off in a big way. Ada is a very nice album, no
doubt, but I somehow get the feeling that Rahman is playing it safe
with this album – almost too many mass-appealing numbers. Gulfisha is a 
fantastic track, but what on earth is Gumsum all about? For a second there I 
almost felt like looking it up on the
internet and making sure that it was actually Rahman who’d composed the
track and not some blissfully stagnant Nadeem-Shravan or Sajid-Wajid
type of music director, what with the Madanpura-style beats andall. Hawa Sun 
Hawa restored some of my faith in Rahman, and Meherbaan almost made me feel 
guilty of my earlier d

Shooting starts for 'Chennaiyil Oru Mazhai Kaalam'

Gautham, who has finished up the work on 'Varanam Aayiram' starring Suriya will
start the shooting of his latest movie today.

The story of the film takes its shape from the call centre life of the city and
the leading lady and the most experienced among the new actors Trisha plays the
role of a girl working in a call centre.

Satish who was last seen in the movie 'Unnale Unnale' plays an important role
in this new film.

The film while showing the IT culture of the city also will portray the life
experienced by the employees during the night shifts.

The health and family problems faced by the call centre professionals will also
have its say in the new urban film.

The film has songs composed by the music maestro A.R.Rahman and is produced by
P Madan and J Ganesh under the Escape Artist Motion Pictures Banner.

Art direction is by Rajeevan.

Although Chennai is a hub of lots of leading call centers in India and a vast
number of the present day youth who are also a part of the strong film crazy
youngsters who represent the majority of the film audience works in the call
centers and IT companies, not many films have come out of Kollywood which shows
the life of this community till now.

Given the skills of Gautham Menon a fantastic film that shows all the sides of
the kind of life led by the youngsters as well as their attitude towards life
can be expected.
