Re: [arr] How I got hooked to Rahman's music.... My Story !
Wow,neatly written... Neither do i know if ill get to even see rahman from a distance but he too lives close to my heart thru his soulful music... Long live rahman... :) On 8/22/08, Dinesh Vaidya [EMAIL PROTECTED] co.in wrote: Here is a chance for all to make meaningful discussion. I will start with my story as how I got hooked to Rahman's music.. The year was 1993, probably Jan end. I had gone to Hyderabad for office work, had some spare time so met my family friends. They recommended me to see a Tamil movie which was the talk of the town in those days. The friend was at loss of words in describing the movie and how it was different and all that. I had seen quite a few Tamil / Telugu movies till then, thanks to our old DoorDarshan who used to telecast regional movies at 1.30PM every sunday. So I ventured out to see that movie. Unfortunately did not get ticket and returned to Pune. But the name of the movie had registered in my mind. In Pune, I just casually checked with the local Video library ( remember those VHS cassettes ? ) if he has heard of a Tamil movie called ROJA. He dished out the cassette and I was on my way home. The cassette rolled on and the chase of the terrorist in the Jungles of Kashmir began with a low frequency droning sound and sudden sharp tones in between. Something registered in mine and my family's mind that this is not the standard Tamil movie, it is something different... . That day we watched Tamil Roja, WITHOUT SUBTITLES, at a stretch and understood every word of it ! There was a general consensus that the music is totally different. Over the next 24 hours, we watched the movie twice or thrice, this time for the music and Background score. The name RAHMAN had not registered in our heads even after that. Then the hunt for the Tamil Audio cassette started. I could not locate the cassette anywhere in Pune but at Mumbai's VT station, I got a cassette ( obviously pirated ) with Roja on one side and Surian songs on another. I still have that cassette with me. One year later my career took me to Abu Dhabi where I was in the midst of many Malyali / Tamil employees and got to see VCD movies of Gentleman and Thiruda Thiruda, again, without subtitles. The music of Thiruda Thiruda simply blew me away and I felt a distinct familiarity with the music. The enquiry about Music Director yielded a reply RAHMAN. Ah ! I have heard his music in Roja, I told my friends. My Tamil friends suddenly started taking me seriously. They got for me audio cassettes of Puthiya Mugham, Kadhalan and other movies which were released by then. I returned to India in 1997 and during my immediate business trip to Chennai, went to a Cassette shop in Adyar Signal and asked him to get me whatever cassettes he had with RAHMAN as music director ...all languages ! He enquired if I had come with enough money. Luckily I had. Some years after, One Chennai based friend LAXMAN introduced me to Rahman fan group and then I typed my first query on Vaishnavar audio. Since then life is a nonstop joyful journey. Because of Rahman my friends circle got expanded exponentially, Gopal, Vijay (Happy Birthday Vijay !), Sirish, Amith, Durba, entire RAHMANIA performing group The Wandering Souls consisting of my Nephews and Nieces, supremely talented bunch of guys led by Anmol Bhave, and all of you the face-less Rahmaniacs ! Now there is a definite purpose to living a meaningful life with Rahman around, there is a non-stop Rahman song playing in the head, the mobile ringtone is ofcourse Rahman. I found that Rahman music is a definite cure to depression.. I have not met Rahman, not do I think I will ever get a chance to meet him. But through his Music, I feel he is so close to me that if I do meet him, I will probably say Hello Rahman ! So we meet again. I always thank GOD for introducing me to Rahman's music... .

We went in and there HE was.. It was the second time I was meeting him up close.. He called us in and asked us to take our seats. We briefed him about the reason of our arrival.. He smiled and said I would've loved to be there. But i have so many pre commitments. I knew about all his big projects so i didn't talk after that. My friend told him that he just had to come to the college for 5 to 10 mins. Just to light the lamp. HE said, Coming for 5 minutes is not at all a problem. But my work requires me to be really focussed. If i come for 5 mins also its like I'l lose the whole day. I get easily distracted and then it becomes difficult for me to work. He explained to us like he knew us before, with so much clarity and such ease. When many other celebrities find it a matter of pride to talk to a fan, here's a world class celebrity sitting and explaining y he can't make it. I mean who else would care to do such a thing? That's RAHMAN for u. The Rarest and the most UNIQUE Celebrity in all of World.He never, even unknowingly hurts anyone. When we asked one of the helpers he said, tht it was AR who wanted to cal us in, when he knew tht we had been waiting for so long. My friend cried at AR's character saying that there can't be a sweeter Human Being on the planet..I know we all know of this Great Man's character, but to be there and feel it is an altogether different experience.. The best part was when he was leaving, I wished him Eid Mubarak and he smiled and patted my back [:)] It was one of the best days for my friend and me. Although he couldn't make it to our college, he wrote us an Autograph addressed to the College. I'm so Proud to be a FAN of such a great Personality. He's the Best.. Hail AR RAHMAN sir..

[arr] Re: Did Rahman go through a Hindi film commercial lull between 1995-1998?
I very much agree with the second down period (2001-2005) as I felt very bad during that time, every album ARR composed either film bombed or music was not received rightly. However I certainly don't agree with the first period. The years following 1995 established the whole ARR craze, at least in Pakistan. There were albums like Sapnay and Hindustani released during that period both of them were huge hits. And I don't see Sapnay in less a league than Rangeela (there is difference but it is not huge). It has superhit Chanda re, Aware bhanwre was a craze everywhere, and the classic Ek bagia. Latka and Telephone from Hindustani were huuuge hits. And then O bhaware from Daud was a huge hit together with all the rest of great and fun songs from the album. And if I am not forgetting and Dil hi dil main also released during this period then how can we forget Dola dola and O nazneen suno na. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You are right, I missed Sapnay.

I may be mistaken, but it seems as if he went through a relatively down time commercially during that time in Hindi films. I'm not talking about Vande Mataram (1997) which was a huge hit worldwide, but this was not a film album. I also know that he had huge commercial successes in Tamil during that time. However, despite having some strong albums with good songs, it seems as if the period between Rangeela and Dil Se did not boast of huge commercial hits. I believe Rahman went through a similarly down period in Hindi between late 2001-2005 in terms of commercial success, with the notable exception of Saathiya. Meenaxi, Swades, and Yuva all had mixed responses commercially, not all out hits IMO. Tehzeeb, Lakeer, LOBS, Nayak, Love U Hamesha, Bose, MP did not do well at all at the cash registers. I think RDB broke that down period. I still believe that the period between 1998-2001 was Rahman's first and possibly not to be surpassed critical and commercial golden era relatively in both Tamil and Hindi. Dil Se, Taal, Lagaan, Zubeidaa, Thakshak, Pukar, 1947 Earth, Doli Saja Ke Rakhana, Alai Payuthey, Kandukonden. .what an amazing output this was! We may be in another golden era now with 3 huge releases along with recent successes of JA, Jaane Tu, Sakrakkati, but I doubt anything will surpass the 1998-2001 era.

And Searchlight, Warners or somebody better figure out a way to market the hell out of that soundtrack like they did “Juno” last year, because it’s THUMPIN’.

[arr] [RM] With Rahman, you can never predict - Cinematographer B. Kannan - PART II
Cinematographer B. Kannan – Part II Q :- Is there any memorable and most interesting experience of having worked with Bharathiraaja Sir ? BK :- He made me to act in a film. Kanavukkul, is a film, where he was made into a father. Even in Kangalal Kaidhu Sei, I have come as a father.He has brought out one dimension of me. Q :- Have you anyday felt, that all your hardwork has been deleted and left off by the Editors ? Bk :- Lot of things , I have felt like that. With Bharathiraaja Sir, he himself will delete most of the scenes that he had taken. When asked, he would say, Who will sit and see these scenes?. When he is with the Editing, he will just be like an editor and indiscriminately cut the scenes, which he feels are not needed. In Alaigal Oiyavadhillai, a full song was edited. There were beautiful photography in that song. He was saying that it was some sort of dragging and removed it in entirety. Q :- whats the effect of technological improvements in your industry and work ? Bk :- Technology has drastically improved the scope and effect of the work in Film Industry. At times, its suprising also. In Kangalal Kaidhu Sei, he wanted a different sort of a tone … But the naturality is lost… Sometimes, the ethics is lost Fav Song from Karuthamma – Porale Ponnuthayi Thenmerku Paruvakaatru – One of my friend tells me that he has listened to the song and seen the song more than 500 times. The song became a super hit after the film got released. Credits go to the Director and the Camera Man. Kangalal Kaidhu sei was not a big success, and because of the songs also didn't become that popular. But, we liked all the songs. Very beautiful songs. Q :- All the three movies viz. Kizhakku Cheemayile, Karuthamma, Kangalal Kaidhu Sei, are of different genres. What did you think of Rahman and his music ? BK :- With Rahman, the major plus point is that, we cannot predict what sort of music he is going to produce. With other MDs, we can predict that the song would be in this particular style for this particular situation. It would be a great surprise, once the end product comes out, with a totally different kind of a sound. The Value of the scene goes for a big lift. Usually, I don't go for the Re – recording. But our Director would be there . With Rahman, we would be hearing one sort of sound, but the end product would be different, with totally, a different style of sound. About Kaadu Potta Kaadu ( Karuthamma ) I at the beginning, thought that Rahman is keeping some sort of a track with the Director's voice. At that tone, the voice sounds with a different flavour. Bharthiraaja will see someone suddenly, and will choose him as hero. But somehow, he will find out some talents. Similarly, Rahman also suddenly, made Dir sing that song. Raihanna says :- My daughter used to observe this song a lot, and used to love it so much. Similarly, Actress Radhika's daughter Rayana used to observe it and address Bharathiraaja as Kaadu Thatha. Q :- Have you felt that you could have worked with any other Director anytime ? BK :- I had a desire to work with Maniratnam. In a very beginning, Maniratnam came and narrated the story of Nayagan to me. The only mistake I did was that I told him, that the story resembled that of a film Once a fix. May be he didn't like that… But after P.C. Sriram came, their combination was wonderful. We were all good friends since Idhaythai Thirudathey times… -- regards, Vithur ARR in my Heart; His Music in my Blood;

[arr] Why did Gautam offer a Chennaiyil Oru Malaikalam
to ARR rather than a Vaaranam Aayiram or a Vettaiyadu Vilayadu? I am trying to figure this one out. Why give COM which I feel is going to be on a much smaller scale than VA or VV to ARR and not something on the scale of VA? He's been shooting VA for over 2 years and on the other hand finishes COM in a few months just like Patchaikili Muthucharam. I wish ARR refused Gautham. I am sure ARR would not think about it as an inferior project in comparison to Gautham's other stuff but the human in me is irritated that Gautham offered him COM and not a VM. But something is better than nothing I guess. I just hope COM has enough scope to handle ARR's music.

[arr] What would you like in ARR's songs that hasn't been heard in a while?
Many here will say nothing, ARR is perfect. But, come on, let's be real, as brilliant as his music is, let's think of some musical ideas that haven't been revisited in a while, or perhaps, never. One thing I would really like to hear in an ARR song that I haven't heard in a while is a complex solo instrumental interlude using a fast tabla, complex sitar with many classical notes, etc. ARR has in fact done this with his singing in RDB and Guru (singing fast sargams in Lukka Chuppi's end and the first interlude of Tere Bina), but I would really love to hear some fast solo instrumentation. A good example of this is the mrudgangam solo in Dheem Taare from Thakshak. SEL did a nice, sweet sitar fast complex solo in Bunty Aur Bubbly's song Chup Chup Ke second stanza. Would love to hear ARR do more of this kind of complex solo instrumental sections in this songs. He uses the flute beautifully in many of his songs, very haunting, but would like to hear more classical compelxity and what classical artists call jhala.

[arr] The first Sakkarakatti review
sakarakkati vs sakARakkati First the Sakarakkati audio launch and now the special preview. Went to Four Frames last night with the wife and kid and whilst we were waiting outside chatting with Blaaze and his wife, spotted a hummer pull up right next to me and out came a young couple. Blaaze and me both got excited and started inspecting the hummer from all sides. And then once the young gentleman had gone in, I asked Blaaze who he was. Udayanidhi Stalin - a future leader in a very very futuristic car indeed. Must cost a couple of crores ? Do let me know. Kala Prabhu's debut vehicle is driven single handedly by one driver, A R Rahman. The credits come on to some amazing guitar riffs and mellow sounds which is completely spoilt by the next ten minutes of the movie showing the hero's childhood pranks with his friends. Cheap, uncalled for and without relevance but maybe the director wanted to fit in a song - 'Yelle' tracks the progress of the hero and his friends from childhood to youth. The story is a oft repeated and done to death boy sees girl - falls in love at first sight - girl does not reciprocate but later is convinced - another girl loves the boy - misunderstanding between the boy and the original girl - patch up - second misunderstanding - original girl pretending to sacrifice her love and asking the boy and second girl to be together - boy mouthing some cliched ' love cannot be measured in percentages ' dialogues and finally boy and original girl walk into the sunset. That's the story in 2 lines. You still want to go and sit in a theatre for 2 hours ? Maybe yes... And that's because the driver is cruising full speed and completely in control.

Re: [arr] What would you like in ARR's songs that hasn't been heard in a while?
hindhustani + ghazal combo from ARR would be a royal treat for music lovers... most importantly it should be sung by either ARR or hariharan...

But, come on, let's be real, as brilliant as his music is, let's think of some musical ideas that haven't been revisited in a while, or perhaps, never. One thing I would really like to hear in an ARR song that I haven't heard in a while is a complex solo instrumental interlude using a fast tabla, complex sitar with many classical notes, etc. ARR has in fact done this with his singing in RDB and Guru (singing fast sargams in Lukka Chuppi's end and the first interlude of Tere Bina), but I would really love to hear some fast solo instrumentation. A good example of this is the mrudgangam solo in Dheem Taare from Thakshak. SEL did a nice, sweet sitar fast complex solo in Bunty Aur Bubbly's song Chup Chup Ke second stanza. Would love to hear ARR do more of this kind of complex solo instrumental sections in this songs. He uses the flute beautifully in many of his songs, very haunting, but would like to hear more classical compelxity and what classical artists call jhala.

Re: [arr] arr on koffee with anu
Transcript of ARR Interview in STAR VIJAY Rahmaniacs, The transcript of the ARR Interview in Koffee with Anu is herewith for the benefit of people, who were not able to view it, and for people, who were not able to understand it fully. Anu :- You have beeen so much of growth. Is it true that you started playing harmonium from the age of four ? ARR :- I was just trying to ( smilingly ) Anu :- Was it your most fascinating instrument, or did you try everything and then come to this ? ARR :- That was the first instrument which I started. My father used to cover it with a cloth, and teach me which note was from where. So, he used to teach me, that the note below 3 Black ones was F, 2 Was C, I used to remember it like a riddle. So, I would be asked to find which note was from where by my father. I was not perfect, but can find out which note was where because of playing it. Anu :- You went on to play in Raja Sir's Music right ? ARR :- I was playing for Malayalam composer Arjuna Master, Telugu composer Ramesh Naidu. That time, I got an Invitation from Raja Sir. Raja sir was playing for my father before. In that rememberance, Raja Sir called me thinking that we can call Shekhar 's son. That time, was the first recording for Moondram Pirai. That time, he told me that I was very young, and told me to come later. Then he called me after two years. That time, I worked with him for 1.5 years. Anu :- When I was talking with Mani Sir, he told me that one remarkable thing abt Rahman was that he was playing like a small boy with Raja Sir, and then he decided that he would go on his own as a young man. So What inspired you to go of your own ? ARR :- I got frustrated after playing too much of Film Music. There was a monotony of playing continuosly in the morning, evening.. I started feeling, if there was no life other than that. Then , I started thinking of making commercials, where we can do music of our own. When we learn Western Classical music and play, we play whatever notes are there in it. No Free thinking in it. But in Classical, we can take a raaga, and improvise in it. we can do it in Jazz also. Film Music is also like that. The Notes that are given has to be played . So, we never know if we have the real skills of composing or not, when doing Film Music, and also an urge to see, if there was something else that would be interesting to do in the work. Adventurous Model. Anu :- As a child, you have been completely engrossed in Music. What about playing gilly, playing cricket in the road ?? ARR :- I have just flown kites.. I have even broken my hand in that. But there has been no fights with kites. More of Music, and less of all these. I dont miss those times, I like whatever happened. Because, when one thing reduces, another thing increases. I always believe in that . Anu :- Whats your relationship with your siblings ? ARR :- I and my elder sister studied Music together. After that she got married. And the remaining two sisters used to look after me, when I used to come back from the studios. They used to take care of me like giving me * coffee* etc. They also became different , when they became 16, which I am going to go through ( my daugther is now 12 years ) . They think differently. I was the only male member in my family. All others were females. Probably, Prakash was the next male member. ( My sister's son ), and thats the little story ( smiles ) Anu :- Are your children interested in music ? ARR :- Yes. I am going to teach them. They are also learning it. Then, they can make a choice. I will not be pushing them into music, nor even forcing them. Anu :- It seems your style of work is different. You keep adding a lot of things here and there, and for a long time, you keep experiementing with it. So Hows it ? ARR :- For some songs, it happens like that, and for some songs, we get to know at the beginning, that this would be enough. For the same Love Songs, Duet Songs, Item Number, we ourselves tend to become bored, and people will surely feel bored. So, if it becomes interesting to us, then it would be surely 10% more interesting for people who watch. That is the real challenge. Anu :- Tell me abt Sufism ARR :- It can be said as Divine Love. Unconditional Love for every Creation, of your GOD. Treating everyone equally irrespective of any materialistic grades . Equal Love, Equal Justice to all. This is what I have learnt till date, There are much more things to learn . I am still at LKG. Anu :- Many have told, that its Divine Inspiration. How do you think of it ? ARR :- Nowadays, if you see, there are a lot of choices. There are a lot of opportunities, choices and aveneues for diversion. Even if you watch TV, there are some 150 chanels to select from. You can make out which channel to watch. For , all channels to be channelised, I think, as some people put it, we must be like Samadhi. Once you come out of that stage, then you would get the focus and direction. That direction, seems to be the
[arr] Slumdog Millionaire ...could easily be called a masterpiece
Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny Boyle By Brendan Willis Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) explores a world rarely seen by western audiences in Slumdog Millionaire, taking viewers on a Dickensian tour of the slums of Mumbai, India. Boyle has honed his directorial style to a razor’s edge, creating a sometimes uncomfortable intimacy between audience and subject. The story is told through the eyes of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), who is the unlikely winner of the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Jamal is subsequently accused of cheating, as the uneducated street urchin cum call centre employee could not possibly know the answers to all the obscure Millionaire trivia. Jamal defends his win by recalling, question by question, how the circumstances of his life growing up on the streets of Mumbai/Bombay with his older brother Salim (Madhur Mittal) and fellow orphan Latika (Frieda Pinto) provided all the answers. Slumdog Millionaire is a film of stark contrast, at times brutal and beautiful, sad and joyful. Boyle creates a work of startling emotional complexity that will leave viewers exhilarated and exhausted by the time the end credits roll. Visually the movie is a riot of colour and texture, turning the shantytowns of Bombay into a densely layered feast for the eyes. While the entire cast is incredible, the actors who play Jamal and Salim as young children give a superb performance, carrying the first third of the film on their shoulders in a way that few adult actors could hope to. As young adults, Jamal and Salim are flip-sides of the same coin, with Patel’s forthright and upstanding Jamal evoking the audience’s sympathy, while Mittal channels a disturbed intensity to bring the rage and violence of their harsh life on the streets across. Though Patel is given top billing, Mittal’s supporting role shouldn’t be overlooked, as his anger is necessary to fully engage the audiences. Slumdog Millionaire is Boyle’s best movie to date and could easily be called a masterpiece, not only of filmmaking but also of storytelling and cinematography. An absolute must-see film that will engage audiences of all types. And unlike many great films that are so emotionally overwhelming and oppressive that they do not court repeat viewings, Slumdog Millionaire is sure to warrant several replays in years to come.

[arr] Sakkarakatti re-recording by Srinivasamurthy?
It is Srinivasamurthy who has done the re-recording. He said that he has the habit of fast forwarding the scenes, which do not require any recording work, but for Sakkarakatti he was never inclined to do so. All credit for that goes to the screenplay. http://www.behindwoods.com/features/Interviews/interview-5/director/thanu-25-09-08.html

[arr] Harris about ARR in Hindu-nice one!
Quoting Harris Jayaraj from a recent Hindu interview. He has good things to say about ARR :) Working for A. R. Rahman... I have worked for many composers including Rahman. Most of them would give us the notation... you had to play it ... get your payment and come away. There was nothing more. But Rahman would not expect us to stick to the notes given... he would allow us to improvise and if he liked it he would ask us to play it our way. So I think in a way it was probably working for Rahman that made me realise that there was a composer in me. -- Best Regards, Prakash Srinivasan +91-9880423119

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/India_Buzz/Tribute_to_dads/articleshow/3527321.cms After Mani Ratnam, Gautham Vasudeva Menon is one director who has made significant changes to Tamil commercial cinema. In a career spanning just seven years, Menon has pushed the cinematic envelope and brought in a savvy freshness to the form, hitherto unexplored. He has made four films in Tamil and two remakes of his own Tamil films in Hindi and Telugu and ushered in a new way of story telling. He has created unforgettable characters who are realistic and lifelike. How do you manage to churn out hit songs with Harris Jayaraj in all your films? Your combo is now being compared to the hit combinations of Mani Ratnam-AR Rahman and Shankar-AR Rahman? I have a terrific rapport with my team — Harris, lyricist Thamarai, editor Antony and art director Rajeevan. They are my core team and at the time of script writing itself, I visualise the songshttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/India_Buzz/Tribute_to_dads/articleshow/3527321.cms#, taking inputs from them. All these guys are my good friends, and we vibe well. In Vaaranam Aayiram (VM), for the first time, a film of mine will have seven songs. Every song takes the screenplay forward and does not bog down the story. The Adiye Kolluthu song shows 90 days in the life of my hero, a period in which he falls in lov In real life, are you a romantic person. You have been linked to all your heroines, right from Reema Sen, to many others including Abhirami, for whom the grapevine has it that you built a house in Hyderabad. (Laughs) My policy is that I don't mix my personal life with my work. I'm happily married to Preety, my wife. Ours was a love marriage. A Hindu boy marrying a Christian girl, something similar to my Minnale.Reema is a good friend even today, and as far as Abhirami is concerned, I liked her tall dusky looks and cast her as the heroine in my Chennail Oru Mazhaikalam, opposite Surya but somehow, the project did not take off. It is true that I have brought a house in Hyderabad, not for Abhirami but for my family to stay when we shoot in Hyderabad. As far as women are concerned, I like to talk to them and spend time with them but it does not go beyond that. I occasionally party and I don't see anything wrong in it. What's next on your agenda? A film for Sivaji Productions with Ajit as hero. The shoot will start from November 1. And next April, I will be doing a film with Mahesh Babu in Telugu. -- regards, Vithur ARR in my Heart; His Music in my Blood;
