 Taal Se Taal Mila from Taal is one of my all time favorite songs,
 period.  What I find most captivating is how the song begins and
 evolves bit by bit..first the water droplets, then the soft
 Taranas by Sukhwinder the dholak, ghungrus, more droplets, then the
 steady, mesmerizing rhythm with full ghungrus and dholak.  Heard that
 Rahman asked the dholak player to tie ice cream sticks on his hands to
 create a certain percussion sound.  Alka's singing is extremely
 beautiful and never shrill, like she often sounds.  
 
 I find that the intro of Taal Se Taal is probably one of the most
 brilliant, original, innovative starts to any Hindi film song ever.

To each his own, Mr Ram.

I have very less regard for web polls as it can be easily rigged. Also
fans of all MDs are aware of the rigging process. So the authenticity is
in question.

We all know and believe that ARR's music is amazing. Does it need to be
certified or authenticated by some external agency?

decided to add the Jaane Tu.. song to the film. As the link says about
70% people suggested to add the song. I am really really really happy,
as Jaane Tu.. (Runa version) is my most favorite song from the album
and I was highly disappointed to not to find it in the film. Kudos to

[arr] Sakarakatti: awesome songs, but lyrics a big let down

2008-07-18 Thread badrie
Am sure there are many here who will not agree with me, but this is
not against ARR... this is against all those lyricists who let him down.

Every tune in S'katti is so different and ARR has consciously given a
lot of scope for the lyrics to be heard very well. But I dont think
the lyricists have done justice to their part. 

The fillers in songs like Elay...mosa mosanu valanthom.. I cant
believe they got into the song, what the hell were they thinking. For
most songs there is no rhyme in the lyrics...I can respect ARR for
giving the lyricists freedom to express themselves, but I think he has
to be more stern with them to bring out essence and elegance in songs.
Probably the director is at fault too, u dont see this happng in a
Mani or Shankar movie. 

The song Chinnamma is a gem if you can ignore the looong stress on
ummma umma in one of the lines in between. Once again another lousy
filler..

Had to vent out my frustration on the lyricists, they need to learn
from veterans like Vaali and V'muthu.

Although
  Abhijeet Bhattacharya, better known by his first name to Hindi
film music
  afficionados in the country, has returned to the limelight with a
new album
  after a huge gap of six years, his voice retains its youthful
charm and
  magic.*
 
  *Fans, who have enjoyed his voice, all the way from Ole Ole-Yeh
Dillagi
  to Om Shanti Om's dhoomtana, have grown used to seeing him on
television
  reality shows too, judging young talent.*
 
  *In conversation with Radioandmusic.com's Shabana Ali, Abhijeet
shares
  insights from his musical journey over the years.*
 
  *Excerpts:*
 
  *You have been in the industry for a long time. What are the
changes that
  you have observed over the years?
  *There's a revolution on in the music scenario now. It can be
termed as
  'revolution', but there is no music in it. Everything is done by the
  machines, it's no more about creative composing. The latest music
has too
  much of techno sounds and less of music. For me, it's no longer
music, it'
  just sound. And, the exposure this music is so much, that there
is hardly
  any difference between a flop song and a hit song. It is all
about pumping
  in a song and turning it into a hit by playing it 100 times on a
radio
  station or on TV.
 
  Revolution in the industry was brought by R D Burman, A R Rahman. But
  after Rahman's sound experiments with machines, everyone started
working on
  sound. That's why everything we hear today sounds very similar to
our ears.
 
  *You have been through all the phases of this revolution. Which
of these
  scenarios was good for you?
  *I am no one to judge what was good and bad. As far as my comfort
level
  is concerned, I am very comfortable with my work. I do not
measure myself
  with others or the growth of the music industry. I always compare
myself on
  how much I have grown in the past years. I am paying a lot more
income tax
  than what I did in my past (laughs). Now, I earn a lot, and I am very
  content with the kind of work I have done and I am doing.
 
 
  *Why didn't you try your hand at composing?
  *I am already into composing for my albums. As for composing for
films, I
  do not have the temperament that's needed for the job. Hats off
to the music
  directors who have the patience to make music for others. I have
seen the
  best being rejected. I don't have that much of patience and I am
satisfied
  composing for my albums. Actually, it needs a lot of time to make
music, and
  now I am very busy with my stage shows, reality shows and
playback singing.
 
  *Have these television reality shows given a lot of impetus to
artistes
  who participate in them?
  *Has it only brought business and recognition to the participating
  artistes? We are the face of the shows. The reality show is being
watched
  because artistes like us are a part of it. People do not want to
see just
  the contestants that the show brings on stage. They want to hear our
  comments on the contestants. If it wasn't for the specialist
nature of our
  comments, the director of the show could have invited some guru or a
  panditji from Allahabad and installed them as judges in our places.
 
  *
  One sees you often arguing vehemently with the other judges on these
  shows. Is it for real or are these just gimmicks?
  *When it is a reality show, people want to see things for real.
There are
  many shows that plan out such things but, no one can say that
about me. I
  think I started this trend - I cry, I pull Alka Yagnik's leg, I
get angry;
  everything is natural and no one guides me to do that. Apart from
that, the
  editing also plays a very important role here. Earlier, such
things were
  edited out and the singing was more in focus. But now, the show
wants more
  of such controversy.
 
  *Don't you think there has been a surfeit of talent hunt shows on TV?
  *Yes, there has been a surfeit of such shows. Hence, today we see
Ek se
  badhkar ek and Superstar doing equally well. We had a lot of
shows that got
  in new talent, but these shows are doing good because of their
uniqueness.
  It's all about different formats now, it's no more about mere
talent hunts.

Guys this is just an observation.Has any one of you seen 
Bhoothnath,There in most of the parts in the first part of the movie
(before interval)..the bg which is being played is the ekamevitheeyam 
theme from baba.This particular theme is played whenever the spookiness 
surrounding bhoothnath and his bunglow is to be highlighted.The bg was 
by salim sulaiman(or vishal; shekhar not quite sure).

the ekamevadhitheeyam theme is actually inspired from the ennio 
morricone score from the movie the untouchables(itwofs).i clearly state 
that i am not saying rahmans vesion is a copy of the original.Rahmans 
version is just mildly inspired which is clear on hearing.The theme 
played in the movie(bhoothnath) is more resembling to rahmans baba 
version.anybody whos seen the movie pls comment.

This is for arvind. nothing personal but it seems that you are 
trying to fleece the group members . this is not an auction site. we are Rahman 
fans and come together to share our feelings about the music of Rahman as well 
as keep ourselves updated about the happenings in this regard. If you really 
want to sell your stuff why dont you put them up for auction in those sites.

 Hi Gops/Vijay/Vithur and all Rahmaniacs,

 Today I got a call from POGO TV. One Mr Duo called me and inquired for the
 child artist who performed for A R Rahman. Actually, they came across the


 blog www.rahmaniac. co.nr and called me to inquire this. They are conducting
 Amazing Kids Awards, so they want to give out awards who sang for A R


 Rahman. The age is between 4 - 14 years and the last day to send nominations
 is 30th July.

 Hope the moderators Gopal / Vijay / Vithur or Rahmaniac could shed some
 light on this. Can you please tell me who are the Child Artist who worked


 for A R Rahman. The channel people think that the children who got a chance
 to work with Rahman will be an absolute talent . So that they want to give
 out the awards to them.



 Hope someone could help me on this. Looking forward for your reply.

In Vairamuthu Neram today, 
 
 Maniratnam asked Rahman to set the tune of the love song ( Pudhu vellai 
Mazhai from ROJA ) to be like that of in Kashmir, and wanted the tune of the 
song also to be chilling. Neither me nor A.R. Rahman could understand that.. 
How can the tune become chilling ?. Maniratnam wanted it to be like , a 
chilling type, even when the song is heard. Nothing could be understood. After 
hearing to many tunes, finally, he composed a tune in Kanada raga. That is  
Pudhu Vellai Mazhai song tune. When you hear the tune itself, it would be like 
that of a chilling nature. The sweeetness of the tune itself is like that. The 
uniqueness of the tune is the same. Maniratnam wanted me to write lyrics which 
will chill out . Initially, I wrote the lyrics like , 
 
 Idhu Kashmirama, Ingu Kargalama. Yendhan Kovil Pura, indha kulir thangumaaa. 
The song was considered to be excellent. Rahman liked it, and Maniratnam also 
praised it. After everyone praised, Maniratnam told, that for this tune, the 
lyrics cannot become more better. But, lets not have it like this.. I asked,  
Why ?. 
 
Maniratnam replied,  I am going to show Kashmir on the screen. Why are you 
also reinstating on Kashmir by way of the lyrics. ?. Suppose, I lose the 
opportunity to shoot the scenes in Kashmir, and take it in Ooty, then wont it 
be a disgrace if the lyrics state that its Kashmir ? . Hence, Pls write it in 
such a manner, that the lyrics are written in such a way, that no one knows, 
where its is shot from.  I got mesmerised, when I wrote the lyrics for the 
song,  Ilaya Nila poyigirudhu ( Illaarayaja 's composition ) . I have 
wondered myself, if Tamil Language could be handled in such a fashion.. 
Maniratnam wanted such a song for this situation. 
 
Then came, Pudhu vellai Mazhai Ingu poyigindradhu. .. After the song was 
picturised, could I realise, the justification behind Maniratnam asking me for 
such lyrics. 
 
 
For a film by name Pudiya Mugam, Dir Suresh Menon was starting towards Sri 
Lanka. He wanted a song immediately to Rahman. A. R. Rahman told him, to go to 
Lanka, and and that he would compose it and send it to him. Suresh Menon was 
telling that if the song wasnt there, there would be no shooting. Then, Rahman 
looked at me, and asked me if I had some song in my store. I told him, 
yes... I have been waiting for 12 years with the lyrics of a song.. I have been 
waiting for this opportunity. I gave the lyrics immediately, and within 2 hrs, 
Rahman composed the music for the lyrics. , and by the next day, it was sent to 
Sri Lanka. That song is  Kannukku Mai Azagu .

[arr] Rahman reveals Marmayogi secrets

2008-07-18 Thread rahmanfever
Rahman reveals Marmayogi secrets
IR Bureau, July 18, 2008:

Marmayogi, the immediate mega venture of Kamal Hassan after Dasavatharam
will have more number of songs, says A R Rahman.

The music maestro, who is joining hands with the versatile actor after a
gap has said in an interview that Kamal has demanded more songs for the
film, as the script has ample scope for music.

To a question on Kamal's reported remarks that movies should be made
without songs, Rahman said, `I don't think so. If it is the

These lyricists are newcomers and have to go a long way before they can even

 Every tune in S'katti is so different and ARR has consciously given a
 lot of scope for the lyrics to be heard very well. But I dont think
 the lyricists have done justice to their part.

 The fillers in songs like Elay...mosa mosanu valanthom.. I cant
 believe they got into the song, what the hell were they thinking. For
 most songs there is no rhyme in the lyrics...I can respect ARR for
 giving the lyricists freedom to express themselves, but I think he has
 to be more stern with them to bring out essence and elegance in songs.
 Probably the director is at fault too, u dont see this happng in a
 Mani or Shankar movie.

 The song Chinnamma is a gem if you can ignore the looong stress on
 ummma umma in one of the lines in between. Once again another lousy
 filler..

 Had to vent out my frustration on the lyricists, they need to learn
 from veterans like Vaali and V'muthu.

 Although
  Abhijeet Bhattacharya, better known by his first name to Hindi
 film music
  afficionados in the country, has returned to the limelight with a
 new album
  after a huge gap of six years, his voice retains its youthful
 charm and
  magic.*
 
  *Fans, who have enjoyed his voice, all the way from Ole Ole-Yeh
 Dillagi
  to Om Shanti Om's dhoomtana, have grown used to seeing him on
 television
  reality shows too, judging young talent.*
 
  *In conversation with Radioandmusic.com's Shabana Ali, Abhijeet
 shares
  insights from his musical journey over the years.*
 
  *Excerpts:*
 
  *You have been in the industry for a long time. What are the
 changes that
  you have observed over the years?
  *There's a revolution on in the music scenario now. It can be
 termed as
  'revolution', but there is no music in it. Everything is done by the
  machines, it's no more about creative composing. The latest music
 has too
  much of techno sounds and less of music. For me, it's no longer
 music, it'
  just sound. And, the exposure this music is so much, that there
 is hardly
  any difference between a flop song and a hit song. It is all
 about pumping
  in a song and turning it into a hit by playing it 100 times on a
 radio
  station or on TV.
 
  Revolution in the industry was brought by R D Burman, A R Rahman. But
  after Rahman's sound experiments with machines, everyone started
 working on
  sound. That's why everything we hear today sounds very similar to
 our ears.
 
  *You have been through all the phases of this revolution. Which
 of these
  scenarios was good for you?
  *I am no one to judge what was good and bad. As far as my comfort
 level
  is concerned, I am very comfortable with my work. I do not
 measure myself
  with others or the growth of the music industry. I always compare
 myself on
  how much I have grown in the past years. I am paying a lot more
 income tax
  than what I did in my past (laughs). Now, I earn a lot, and I am very
  content with the kind of work I have done and I am doing.
 
 
  *Why didn't you try your hand at composing?
  *I am already into composing for my albums. As for composing for
 films, I
  do not have the temperament that's needed for the job. Hats off
 to the music
  directors who have the patience to make music for others. I have
 seen the
  best being rejected. I don't have that much of patience and I am
 satisfied
  composing for my albums. Actually, it needs a lot of time to make
 music, and
  now I am very busy with my stage shows, reality shows and
 playback singing.
 
  *Have these television reality shows given a lot of impetus to
 artistes
  who participate in them?
  *Has it only brought business and recognition to the participating
  artistes? We are the face of the shows. The reality show is being
 watched
  because artistes like us are a part of it. People do not want to
 see just
  the contestants that the show brings on stage. They want to hear our
  comments on the contestants. If it wasn't for the specialist
 nature of our
  comments, the director of the show could have invited some guru or a
  panditji from Allahabad and installed them as judges in our places.
 
  *
  One sees you often arguing vehemently with the other judges on these
  shows. Is it for real or are these just gimmicks?
  *When it is a reality show, people want to see things for real.
 There are
  many shows that plan out such things but, no one can say that
 about me. I
  think I started this trend - I cry, I pull Alka Yagnik's leg, I
 get angry;
  everything is natural and no one guides me to do that. Apart from
 that, the
  editing also plays a very important role here. Earlier, such
 things were
  edited out and the singing was more in focus. But now, the show
 wants more
  of such controversy.
 
  *Don't you think there has been a surfeit of talent hunt shows on TV?
  *Yes, there has been a surfeit of such shows. Hence, today we see
 Ek se
  badhkar ek and Superstar doing equally well. We had a lot of

Whatever.

My view is that Ashutosh is not really a song-music person. He might 
have good ear for music but he doesn't have imagination enough to give 
good treatment to songs.

All songs of Lagaan/ Swadesh were sort of fit in the movie. There was no 
special scene, no great visuals, no imagination at all. All routine 
scenes, all daily life situations. Just on the run.

At most, a situation was created for the Kailash Kher song in Swades, 
but how shabbily it was patched in.

So, I think it is no loss for ARR if Ashutosh goes away. It was 
Ashutosh's films that were benefitting from ARR's music, the films 
themselves didn't add to the beauty of ARR's songs.

Ashutosh is not a 1% of Mani or Shankar when it comes to songs 
picturization.

Of course, a film getting hit makes the music reach more persons, there 
is no denial of that.

And, if ARR feels comfortable with Ashutosh and becomes more creative 
giving his better ones, then of course, it is a loss for us if Ashutosh 
breaks away.

I didn't mention JA because the movie went of a totally different track 
away from music. I don't even remember where Jashnebahara or lamho ke 
daaman had been. Such a forgettable treatment. And remember the stale 
situation of Manmohna, the gaudy money-waster sets of 
Azeem-shaanshahanshah give pain when remember. JA was a shit, confused, 
purpose-less movie.

I always felt that SEL are a perfect fit for Ashutosh's level.

I find Elay lyrics have a great simplicity and freshness. It is not just 
a song, but a vision, a manifesto, a sort of anthem as for as lyrics are 
concerned. Isn't that great.

On the other hand, i couldn't really get the flow of lyrics of 
marudhani. I don't know what exactly the lyricist is trying to convey. 
Such a lovely song and such scattered lyrics.

Taxi-Taxi lyrics are also not natural constructions. Just a Mehboob or 
PK Mishra type of work during their initial days.

 My view is that Ashutosh is not really a song-music person. He might

 All songs of Lagaan/ Swadesh were sort of fit in the movie. There was no

 Ashutosh is not a 1% of Mani or Shankar when it comes to songs
 picturization.

 Of course, a film getting hit makes the music reach more persons, there
 is no denial of that.

 And, if ARR feels comfortable with Ashutosh and becomes more creative

 I didn't mention JA because the movie went of a totally different track

[arr] Chinnamma - Chinmayi?

[arr] Lovable Alien!

2008-07-18 Thread Aravind AM
Lovable Alien!
Let's get into some imagination, shall we? 



START! ACTION!

Imagine you are fast asleep, and you are woken up by a loud unusual
noise. You rush to the terrace to check whats happening. You see a big
UFO landing on your terrace (Terrace not big enough? ah, geez!! when
you can imagine a UFO landing on your terrace, can't you imagine your
terrace to be bigger! just imagine!!   Back to the post, now!)
And
then, the door of the UFO opens, and out comes a creature - an alien -
a la the E.T., comes out. You look at it and are frightened. It looks
somewhat familiar to you, with two arms and legs! But, yet it is an
alien and looks a lot different too. You don't know what to expect
because you haven't seen anything like this before! Initially, you
don't get close to it as it is a very strange creature. But, then you
get along with it and become friends with it. It demonstrates its
special powers - though those powers are extraordinary, you get used to
it and start loving it!



CUT! CUT! CUT!



Now, the focus shifts to I miss you da song (sung by Chinmayi and
Indai Haza) from Sakkarakatti. Isn't it exactly like the alien that you
encountered a few seconds back? At least for me, it was!!  

The first time I heard the song, I was like What is this?! What's
going on? It was unlike anything I had heard before. Rahman must have
been at the height of his experiment-mood!! There are so many unheard
sounds. The tune is so very unpredictable - keeps going smooth and
suddenly there's a fall - like a roller coaster! And, so suddenly it
goes up! And, I got one more surprise that Indai Hazaa is none other
than Chinmayi herself!

Once I got to terms with all these surprises, I started absolutely loving and 
adoring the song!



I've said it before and I say it again - Only Rahman can create such magic!

  Udal Mannkukku is picturised on Mohanlal. It is actually the

  Unnodu Naan irundha picturization is a masterpiece! !!!  I
absolutely
  love it, and I've watched that part so many times Prakash
Raj comes and
  meets Tabu and tells his love... The mild lighting, the camera
revolving
  from the top, the base voiced Unnodu naan irundha in the
background..
  everything is perfect!!! wow i'm getting goosepimples even

I am not liking it all. Behave yourself and stop it.

And I still think that AG is nowhere near best. He is very mediocre.

AG takes Aamir, Shahrukh, Hritik because they sell. Similarly, AG takes 
ARR because ARR sells. That is why a stupid film like JA has become such 
a hit.

Match that with Guru. Mani took all failed persons, Abhishek is making 
record in giving flops, Aish is not really number 1. Mithud holds 
guiness record in flops, Vidya had 3-4 films I guess and is one of many 
wannabes, Madhvan is probably hit in south india but is unknown in hindi 
films. Yet, Guru became hit on its own strength. Now, that is a 
diretor's contribution.
--

ARR is an emotional person so he has started liking AG - may be for AG's 
interest in music or AG's respect and love for ARR, so ARR creates good 
things for him.

It doesn't have anything to do with AG's musical ability to extract good 
things from ARR, I think. ARR is gifting away good things to AG.

Ability to extract good things from ARR is in Subhash Ghai who extracted 
great music of Taal from ARR.

So, if you like ARR+AG songs that is your privilege to like them. I 
can't say anything on that.

None of ARR-AG songs is my fav really, though I had always blamed it on 
Javed Akhtar's mechanical, assembly line manufactured lyrics that are 
without any touching emotion, but are just logic.

I still think that AG doesn't deserve ARR. AG is more to the level of 
SEL and the likes.

The Taxi Taxi lyrics was ok in the paragraphs. but the Initial one - Nanban
kidaithal ellam OC , Nanba - nee oru ilavasa taxi You get everything for
free, if you have  a friend, Oh friend, you are like a free taxi, sounds
cheap and jarring.

The paragraph lyrics are kind of cute. :)

[arr] Vairamuthu Neram - July 18, 2008 ( 5 songs of ARR explained )

2008-07-18 Thread Vithur
In Vairamuthu Neram today,

*Uppu Kaaruvaadu SONG ( Mudhalvan ) *

 At times, a lyricist is compelled to write lyrics to suit the story, the
time , the song comes in the picture, and his creativity is stalled to a
certain extent. When I was writing lyrics for Mudhalvan, the scene was like
,  One Day CM wants to ease out, of his official side, meet his lover in
the village, spend some time with her, and share his love for her. I started
writing lyrics, and for which Rahman composed a superb melody tune. Dir
Shankar also liked it, and he called me at 12 AM in the night, and
congratulated me for the same, and told, that I have done an excellent job,
and the same could also be picturised using all Visual Effects, as the way
he wanted. The next day morning, the same Shankar called me, and apologised
with me saying, that he wanted a new set of lyrics, as the tune itself was
undergoing a change. I was very upset with him, and didnt talk to anyone for
a day. He called me later, and explained me the situation,

Dir Shankar told me ,  Sir. Actually, this song comes in a climax in the
film, when the hero goes to see his heroine in the village, and this comes
in the fag end of the film. If a melody song, was fitted at that moment, the
audience would be compelled to leave the film, at that juncture, as a slow
song, at that juncture would have made them loose the feel of the speedness
of the movie. So, he wanted a Kutthu song ( A song with  fast beats ) at
that junction, and thus came out,  Uppu Karuvaadu Oora vacha Sooru . After
seeing the film, and the song, I agreed with Shankar and told him, that his
decision was the right one .

Many a times, The lyricist is compelled to change his skills to suit the
timing of the song in the movie.

*Nadhiye Nadhiye song* ( Rhythm)

I was on flight to Singapore, and was supposed to go to Jakartha for
attending a Tamil Awards Function. I received a call, asking for an urgent
song. They wanted it very urgently, and that the picturisation of the song
was the next day. On way to Jakartha, from Singapore, I wrote the lyrics of
 Nadhiye Nadhiye  for Rhythm

*Sahaaana Saral ( SIvaji ) *
**
 Azhage Azhage Nee Aaradi Pani Thuliyaaa ,  The song is like the hero
singing this song on the heroine, praising her, to see, if she is 6 ft in
height.. When this song was to be picturised, the sets of the song was  put
up in Hyderabad. The set was made like that of a glass building. This song
was echoed in the sets. When everyone heard it there, the song was good, but
it didnt suit well with the set put up there . They wanted a song , to suit
the sets. The sets expected a different type of a song. Dir Shankar came
back to me, and requested me saying that the song was good, but didnt suit
the set arrangements fixed over there .

I replied to Shankar saying,  What is this Shankar ?. Till now, I was
writing only for Mettu ( the tune of the song ) , and you have made me write
lyrics for settu ( the Set Arrangements ). If it doesnt suit the Metttu (
the tune ) , I will change it and give, and if it doesnt suit the settu (
the sets ) , what am I to do ?.  I grumbled, and along with this grumble,
came out the  Sahaana Saraal song .

*Rasaathi Song ( Thiruda Thiruda ) *

Maniratnam came to me and said that ,  You have poured out your feelings to
a greater extent in this song. The expectations are very high now. This song
has raised the expectations of a big Love Epic ( kaviyam in tamil ) .  But
in the story, I dont have that much to tell. If a film fan who comes with
high expectations of wishing a big Love Epic, and doesnt see that much
impact in the film, the film flops, and doesnt become a success. So, he told
me to write lyrics seeing the story, seeing the actors in the film. Dont
keep love lyrics which have a deep influence in light subject stories.. This
was the request made by Maniratnam to me. When Bharathiraaja saw me , he
jealously asked me,  That song should have been written for me.  The song
was expected to raise the film, the song which impacted me, and in the same
way, impacted the movie in a negative sense.

*Evano Oruvan song ( Initially to be in IRUVAR, but then came out in
Alaiypayudhey ) *
**
With the help of Manirathnam, I was called and told,  You have written the
lyrics of the song, Just start and come. I went to Rahman studio, and to my
surprise found that my song was already composed. A. R. Rahman had composed
a song out of my writings ( Vairamuthu Kavidaigal ) .  Evano Oruvan
Vasikirran, Iruttil irundhu Naan Yaasikiren. I experienced the bliss of
this song, when I heard it with the tune from Rahman, and the bliss was more
enjoyable, even when compared to the happiness that I got from writing it. I
was very very happy. That song was picturised for the film Iruvar.
Maniratnam told me that he would use this song, in a very suitable point,
and in a very beautiful fashion. The film got released, but the song wasnt
there . I started worrying, to know that it wasnt picturised, as the

Dude, 

Vaali has written just one song (Marudhaani) for Sakkaraikatti - and it is 
definitely brilliant and is undoubtedly the best in the album in terms of 
lyrics The other songs are by Na Muthukumar and Pa.Vijay and IMHO they are 
nothing great, and only Vaali's lyrics stand out!!

Vaali rocks!!! Vaali-ARR combo has always been great...  
Mayiliragae, Munbe Vaa, Ella pugazhum  and many more songs from vaali are not 
only beautiful but brilliant too!!

I too love Vairamuthu's lyrics, but let's not undermine Vaali, who is a legend 
and who continues to rock even today!

Sorry don't agree with you. I think songs in JA and Lagaan were
picturized very well. Furthermore Ashutosh is no doubt one of the
finest directors out there and especially after Lagaan, Swades and JA
he is now among the A-list big directors. And I think it is
important that our boss keeps working with big directors.

 My view is that Ashutosh is not really a song-music person. He might

 All songs of Lagaan/ Swadesh were sort of fit in the movie. There
was no

 scenes, all daily life situations. Just on the run.
 
 At most, a situation was created for the Kailash Kher song in Swades, 
 but how shabbily it was patched in.
 
 So, I think it is no loss for ARR if Ashutosh goes away. It was 
 Ashutosh's films that were benefitting from ARR's music, the films 
 themselves didn't add to the beauty of ARR's songs.
 
 Ashutosh is not a 1% of Mani or Shankar when it comes to songs

 Of course, a film getting hit makes the music reach more persons, there 
 is no denial of that.
 
 And, if ARR feels comfortable with Ashutosh and becomes more creative

 I didn't mention JA because the movie went of a totally different track

Hi Rawat,

Thanks for that effort!! But, there are a few mistakes I could spot...

here u go:

This one is not a mistake, but I felt it could have been put better to bring 
out the complete essence of these lines: 

Avan idhaya veetil vaazhum tamil degam venthu poagum
ena avan arunthida maataan SUDU neerum sudu soarum

He won't have hot-water or hot-rice, as it would burn the girl who's inside his 
heart
(This idea is an adaptation of famous verses from Thirukkural)



The other place where I made correction was:

oruthikkaaka vazhkira jaathi, unaravillai innoru paathi...

(He is) someone who lives for (and loves) just this one girl...

But, his other-half (the girl) doesn't understand it!!!



as for the line for which you couldnt get the exact meaning -- I too couldnt 
make out what the first part was - all because of one word... i dont think it 
is vooda, but i dont know what it is!:
aathiram naethiram vooda .  paalayum KaLLaai aval paarkiraal
can't make out this part   She suspects even milk to be toddy   (kaLL =

 hehe Rawat, you will be disappointed to know that he is indeed the 
 composer. AG is the best and gets the best out of ARR.

I think JA music is an absolute failure on part of ARR.

ARR didn't at all get the feel of the period movie. It seems ARR had 
absolutely no idea the large - big - huge - grand - great - showman 
style in which AG was making the movie.

So, ARR composed music which is very personal, individualistic music, 
and that didn't match at all, didn't fit at all in the grandeur of the 
movie.

Result was disastrous. music sunk down without a trace in the movie.

This would be the only movie of ARR in which the director didn't butcher 
the songs, still the songs didn't become noticeable, just because the 
songs were on a different concept as if ARR was composing for a soft 
love story between Jodha and Akbar, but the music movie was Princess and 
Queen Jodha and Azeemoshaan Shanshaah Akbar from beginning to end. 
Azeemoshaan Shanshaah is the only public song, and I found it 
irritatingly loud. Moulded lyrics worsened it.

How could it happen?

Why, if ARR and AG are so intimate?

Didn't AG tell ARR what he is doing in the movie so that ARR would have 
included the grandeur in his music?

it seems AG kept on emphasizing to ARR that he is making a love story 
between Jodha and akbar, and that is why ARR created such a personal 
music for the film, missing out on the grandeur.

Mughal-e-azam also had the 100% classical personal song Prem Jogan Ban 
Ke, that was shot on Dilip and Madhubala in the garden overnight. But 
rest of the music was mostly with the grandeur that befits on a period 
movie of this scale. Even the songs between individuals had a grandeur 
of a period movie.

ARR missed on this grandeur, and gave three long personal songs 
- jashnebahara, in lamhon ke daman mein and khwaja mere khwaja. That was 
disproportionate for the film.

Though I don't blame ARR for Manmohana fiasco. The song was so long and 
too much noticeable, but that also I think is because AG must have kept 
on emphasing to ARR about showing hindu Jodha doing prayers in Muslim 
Akbar's palace, so ARR gave it a lot of importance and created such a 
lggg non-subtle song that pinches in ears.

JA would always hold the crown of music going in one direction and film 
going orthogonally to that. And I blame AG 100% for that. he took ARR 
for a ride for this film. And ARR lost by not giving a pyar kiya to 
darna kya level of song in it. I think ARR was just not knowing that he 
can give such a song in it.

   music directors. I am completely surprised. Ashutosh has said in some
   interview some days back that he wants A.R.Rahman for it. So sad!
 
 
 Whatever.
 
 My view is that Ashutosh is not really a song-music person. He might
 have good ear for music but he doesn't have imagination enough to give
 good treatment to songs.
 
 All songs of Lagaan/ Swadesh were sort of fit in the movie. There
 was no
 special scene, no great visuals, no imagination at all. All routine
 scenes, all daily life situations. Just on the run.
 
 At most, a situation was created for the Kailash Kher song in Swades,
 but how shabbily it was patched in.
 
 So, I think it is no loss for ARR if Ashutosh goes away. It was
 Ashutosh's films that were benefitting from ARR's music, the films
 themselves didn't add to the beauty of ARR's songs.
 
 Ashutosh is not a 1% of Mani or Shankar when it comes to songs
 picturization.
 
 Of course, a film getting hit makes the music reach more persons, there
 is no denial of that.
 
 And, if ARR feels comfortable with Ashutosh and becomes more creative
 giving his better ones, then of course, it is a loss for us if Ashutosh
 breaks away.
 
 I didn't mention JA because the movie went of a totally different track
 away from music. I don't even remember where Jashnebahara or lamho ke
 daaman had been. Such a forgettable treatment. And remember the stale
 situation of Manmohna, the gaudy money-waster sets of
 Azeem-shaanshahanshah give pain when remember. JA was a shit, confused,
 purpose-less movie.
 
 I always felt that SEL are a perfect fit for Ashutosh's level.

how this list has lost its character in last 10 years. Now, it has

Information is mostly being exchanged about ARR's trivia, whom he met, 
where he went, what he did, what he said about someone, what someone 
said about him.

Apart from that, you are free to praise ARR endlessly.

There is no real analysis of his music. reviews of music and movies are 
picked from the sites in dozens and hundreds and posted here. Any 
reviewer having said the slightest negative thing about the music is 
painted he is always like that.

Members are posting not that many review and nowhere in that depth as 
members were posting 10 years ago. members reviews give 8+ or 9+ out of 
10 rating to each and every song. Any member saying a negative thing

 the height of his experiment-mood!! There are so many unheard sounds. 
 The tune is so very unpredictable - keeps going smooth and suddenly 
 there's a fall - like a roller coaster! And, so suddenly it goes up! 
 And, I got one more surprise that Indai Hazaa is none other than 
 Chinmayi herself!
 Once I got to terms with all these surprises, I started absolutely 
 loving and adoring the song!

 In Vairamuthu Neram today,
 
 *Uppu Kaaruvaadu SONG ( Mudhalvan ) *
 
  At times, a lyricist is compelled to write lyrics to suit the 
story, the
 time , the song comes in the picture, and his creativity is stalled 
to a
 certain extent. When I was writing lyrics for Mudhalvan, the scene 
was like
 ,  One Day CM wants to ease out, of his official side, meet his 
lover in
 the village, spend some time with her, and share his love for her. 
I started
 writing lyrics, and for which Rahman composed a superb melody tune. 
Dir
 Shankar also liked it, and he called me at 12 AM in the night, and
 congratulated me for the same, and told, that I have done an 
excellent job,
 and the same could also be picturised using all Visual Effects, as 
the way
 he wanted. The next day morning, the same Shankar called me, and 
apologised
 with me saying, that he wanted a new set of lyrics, as the tune 
itself was
 undergoing a change. I was very upset with him, and didnt talk to 
anyone for
 a day. He called me later, and explained me the situation,
 
 Dir Shankar told me ,  Sir. Actually, this song comes in a climax 
in the
 film, when the hero goes to see his heroine in the village, and 
this comes
 in the fag end of the film. If a melody song, was fitted at that 
moment, the
 audience would be compelled to leave the film, at that juncture, as 
a slow
 song, at that juncture would have made them loose the feel of the 
speedness
 of the movie. So, he wanted a Kutthu song ( A song with  fast 
beats ) at
 that junction, and thus came out,  Uppu Karuvaadu Oora vacha 
Sooru . After
 seeing the film, and the song, I agreed with Shankar and told him, 
that his
 decision was the right one .
 
 Many a times, The lyricist is compelled to change his skills to 
suit the
 timing of the song in the movie.
 
 *Nadhiye Nadhiye song* ( Rhythm)
 
 I was on flight to Singapore, and was supposed to go to Jakartha for
 attending a Tamil Awards Function. I received a call, asking for an 
urgent
 song. They wanted it very urgently, and that the picturisation of 
the song
 was the next day. On way to Jakartha, from Singapore, I wrote the 
lyrics of
  Nadhiye Nadhiye  for Rhythm
 
 *Sahaaana Saral ( SIvaji ) *
 **
  Azhage Azhage Nee Aaradi Pani Thuliyaaa ,  The song is like the 
hero
 singing this song on the heroine, praising her, to see, if she is 6 
ft in
 height.. When this song was to be picturised, the sets of the song 
was  put
 up in Hyderabad. The set was made like that of a glass building. 
This song
 was echoed in the sets. When everyone heard it there, the song was 
good, but
 it didnt suit well with the set put up there . They wanted a song , 
to suit
 the sets. The sets expected a different type of a song. Dir Shankar 
came
 back to me, and requested me saying that the song was good, but 
didnt suit
 the set arrangements fixed over there .
 
 I replied to Shankar saying,  What is this Shankar ?. Till now, I 
was
 writing only for Mettu ( the tune of the song ) , and you have made 
me write
 lyrics for settu ( the Set Arrangements ). If it doesnt suit the 
Metttu (
 the tune ) , I will change it and give, and if it doesnt suit the 
settu (
 the sets ) , what am I to do ?.  I grumbled, and along with this 
grumble,
 came out the  Sahaana Saraal song .
 
 *Rasaathi Song ( Thiruda Thiruda ) *
 
 Maniratnam came to me and said that ,  You have poured out your 
feelings to
 a greater extent in this song. The expectations are very high now. 
This song
 has raised the expectations of a big Love Epic ( kaviyam in 
tamil ) .  But
 in the story, I dont have that much to tell. If a film fan who 
comes with
 high expectations of wishing a big Love Epic, and doesnt see that 
much
 impact in the film, the film flops, and doesnt become a success. 
So, he told
 me to write lyrics seeing the story, seeing the actors in the film. 
Dont
 keep love lyrics which have a deep influence in light subject 
stories.. This
 was the request made by Maniratnam to me. When Bharathiraaja saw 
me , he
 jealously asked me,  That song should have been written for me.  
The song
 was expected to raise the film, the song which impacted me, and in 
the same
 way, impacted the movie in a negative sense.
 
 *Evano Oruvan song ( Initially to be in IRUVAR, but then came out in
 Alaiypayudhey ) *
 **
 With the help of Manirathnam, I was called and told,  You have 
written the
 lyrics of the song, Just start and come. I went to Rahman studio, 
and to my
 surprise found that my song was already composed. A. R. Rahman had 
composed
 a song out of my writings ( Vairamuthu Kavidaigal ) .  Evano Oruvan
 Vasikirran, Iruttil irundhu Naan Yaasikiren. I experienced the 
bliss of
 this song, when I heard it with the tune from Rahman, and the bliss 
was more
 enjoyable, even when compared to the happiness that I got from 
writing it. I
 was very very happy. That song was picturised for the film

 *Nadhiye Nadhiye song* ( Rhythm)

 I was on flight to Singapore, and was supposed to go to Jakartha for
 attending a Tamil Awards Function. I received a call, asking for an urgent
 song. They wanted it very urgently, and that the picturisation of the song
 was the next day. On way to Jakartha, from Singapore, I wrote the lyrics of
  Nadhiye Nadhiye  for Rhythm

 *Sahaaana Saral ( SIvaji ) *

  Azhage Azhage Nee Aaradi Pani Thuliyaaa ,  The song is like the hero
 singing this song on the heroine, praising her, to see, if she is 6 ft in
 height.. When this song was to be picturised, the sets of the song was  put
 up in Hyderabad. The set was made like that of a glass building. This song
 was echoed in the sets. When everyone heard it there, the song was good, but
 it didnt suit well with the set put up there . They wanted a song , to suit
 the sets. The sets expected a different type of a song. Dir Shankar came
 back to me, and requested me saying that the song was good, but didnt suit
 the set arrangements fixed over there .

 I replied to Shankar saying,  What is this Shankar ?. Till now, I was
 writing only for Mettu ( the tune of the song ) , and you have made me write
 lyrics for settu ( the Set Arrangements ). If it doesnt suit the Metttu (
 the tune ) , I will change it and give, and if it doesnt suit the settu (
 the sets ) , what am I to do ?.  I grumbled, and along with this grumble,
 came out the  Sahaana Saraal song .

 *Rasaathi Song ( Thiruda Thiruda ) *

 Maniratnam came to me and said that ,  You have poured out your feelings
 to a greater extent in this song. The expectations are very high now. This
 song has raised the expectations of a big Love Epic ( kaviyam in tamil ) .
  But in the story, I dont have that much to tell. If a film fan who comes
 with high expectations of wishing a big Love Epic, and doesnt see that much
 impact in the film, the film flops, and doesnt become a success. So, he told
 me to write lyrics seeing the story, seeing the actors in the film. Dont
 keep love lyrics which have a deep influence in light subject stories.. This
 was the request made by Maniratnam to me. When Bharathiraaja saw me , he
 jealously asked me,  That song should have been written for me.  The song
 was expected to raise the film, the song which impacted me, and in the same
 way, impacted the movie in a negative sense.

  hehe Rawat, you will be disappointed to know that he is indeed the

 I think JA music is an absolute failure on part of ARR.

 ARR didn't at all get the feel of the period movie. It seems ARR had
 absolutely no idea the large - big - huge - grand - great - showman
 style in which AG was making the movie.

 So, ARR composed music which is very personal, individualistic music,
 and that didn't match at all, didn't fit at all in the grandeur of the
 movie.

 Result was disastrous. music sunk down without a trace in the movie.

 This would be the only movie of ARR in which the director didn't butcher
 the songs, still the songs didn't become noticeable, just because the
 songs were on a different concept as if ARR was composing for a soft
 love story between Jodha and Akbar, but the music movie was Princess and
 Queen Jodha and Azeemoshaan Shanshaah Akbar from beginning to end.
 Azeemoshaan Shanshaah is the only public song, and I found it
 irritatingly loud. Moulded lyrics worsened it.

 How could it happen?

 Why, if ARR and AG are so intimate?

 Didn't AG tell ARR what he is doing in the movie so that ARR would have
 included the grandeur in his music?

 it seems AG kept on emphasizing to ARR that he is making a love story
 between Jodha and akbar, and that is why ARR created such a personal
 music for the film, missing out on the grandeur.

 Mughal-e-azam also had the 100% classical personal song Prem Jogan Ban
 Ke, that was shot on Dilip and Madhubala in the garden overnight. But
 rest of the music was mostly with the grandeur that befits on a period
 movie of this scale. Even the songs between individuals had a grandeur
 of a period movie.

 ARR missed on this grandeur, and gave three long personal songs
 - jashnebahara, in lamhon ke daman mein and khwaja mere khwaja. That was
 disproportionate for the film.

 Though I don't blame ARR for Manmohana fiasco. The song was so long and
 too much noticeable, but that also I think is because AG must have kept
 on emphasing to ARR about showing hindu Jodha doing prayers in Muslim
 Akbar's palace, so ARR gave it a lot of importance and created such a
 lggg non-subtle song that pinches in ears.

 JA would always hold the crown of music going in one direction and film
 going orthogonally to that. And I blame AG 100% for that. he took ARR
 for a ride for this film. And ARR lost by not giving a pyar kiya to
 darna kya level of song in it. I think ARR was just not knowing that he
 can give such a song in it.

   Is out boss not composing for Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your

   (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Your_Raashee%3F) shows SEL as
   music directors. I am completely surprised. Ashutosh has said in some
   interview some days back that he wants A.R.Rahman for it. So sad!
  
 
  Whatever.
 
  My view is that Ashutosh is not really a song-music person. He might
  have good ear for music but he doesn't have imagination enough to give
  good treatment to songs.
 
  All songs of Lagaan/ Swadesh were sort of fit in the movie. There
  was no
  special scene, no great visuals, no imagination at all. All routine
  scenes, all daily life situations. Just on the run.
 
  At most, a situation was created for the Kailash Kher song in Swades,
  but how shabbily it was patched in.
 
  So, I think it is no loss for ARR if Ashutosh goes away. It was
  Ashutosh's films that were benefitting from ARR's music, the films
  themselves didn't add to the beauty of ARR's songs.
 
  Ashutosh is not a 1% of Mani or Shankar when it comes to songs
  picturization.
 
  Of course, a film getting hit makes the music reach more persons, there
  is no denial of that.
 
  And, if ARR feels comfortable with Ashutosh and becomes more creative
  giving his better ones, then of course, it is a loss for us if Ashutosh
  breaks away.
 
  I didn't mention JA because the movie went of a totally different track
  away from music. I don't even remember where Jashnebahara or lamho ke
  daaman had been. Such a forgettable treatment. And remember the stale
  situation of Manmohna, the gaudy money-waster sets of
  Azeem-shaanshahanshah give pain when remember. JA was a shit, confused,
  purpose-less movie.

  *Uppu Kaaruvaadu SONG ( Mudhalvan ) *
 
   At times, a lyricist is compelled to write lyrics to suit the
 story, the
  time , the song comes in the picture, and his creativity is stalled
 to a
  certain extent. When I was writing lyrics for Mudhalvan, the scene
 was like
  ,  One Day CM wants to ease out, of his official side, meet his
 lover in
  the village, spend some time with her, and share his love for her.
 I started
  writing lyrics, and for which Rahman composed a superb melody tune.
 Dir
  Shankar also liked it, and he called me at 12 AM in the night, and
  congratulated me for the same, and told, that I have done an
 excellent job,
  and the same could also be picturised using all Visual Effects, as
 the way
  he wanted. The next day morning, the same Shankar called me, and
 apologised
  with me saying, that he wanted a new set of lyrics, as the tune
 itself was
  undergoing a change. I was very upset with him, and didnt talk to
 anyone for
  a day. He called me later, and explained me the situation,
 
  Dir Shankar told me ,  Sir. Actually, this song comes in a climax
 in the
  film, when the hero goes to see his heroine in the village, and
 this comes
  in the fag end of the film. If a melody song, was fitted at that
 moment, the
  audience would be compelled to leave the film, at that juncture, as
 a slow
  song, at that juncture would have made them loose the feel of the
 speedness
  of the movie. So, he wanted a Kutthu song ( A song with fast
 beats ) at
  that junction, and thus came out,  Uppu Karuvaadu Oora vacha
 Sooru . After
  seeing the film, and the song, I agreed with Shankar and told him,
 that his
  decision was the right one .
