[arr] Yuuvraaj Music Reviews!

2008-10-16 Thread kiran injeti
Hi Rahmaniacs,
I was going through all the emails on Yuuvraaj music. Looks like most of us 
feel it is below expectations. 
But for me it is deja-vu. I remember hearing and seeing same reactions after 
music of Taal was released. 
Taal among many ARR albums probably took the longest to sink in. As some of the 
guys have pointed out,
just try to give yuuvraaj few more listenings and then you never know, it could 
turn out to be another Taal or
even better. Not to forget in Taal people loved the music even more after 
seeing the visuals. I guess, Subhash Ghai ensures
music is in sync with what he wants to picturize although most of the time it 
is the other way around - Picturize after
getting music. So we usually hope that directors can make justice to ARR's 
legendary tunes but in Subhash Ghai's case
it is ARR who creates music for a visual and i am sure as usual it would have 
been a cakewalk for him.

Sorry if any one felt offended. Happy listening!

Take care!.

An Avid ARR Fan,
Kiran Krishna

  What's wrong with Rahman?! What's wrong with you
  guys??? How many times this is going to repeat. How about
  all those who plan to give a negative review just shut up
  and wait for a week? Rahman's music takes some time to
  grow in you, even Rahman himself said it! So, hope you guys
  at least listen to him! The same happened to ALL the
  previous releases. What, you guys want Rahman give just like
  all other composers? Songs thats sounds nice to the ears at
  the first listening and fades away later? Think again dudes.
  Give Rahman some time...

 thanks avinash,,

 this translation is really awsome,

 now i am able to understand this song more deeply.this lyrics is awsome..

 some suggessions. .

 'nafs' i think is 'body' in arabic.so it might be the same in urdu as 

 well i guess.



nafs (urdu) means soul/ spirit/ essence/ breath.



So, it is much deeper than body.



 Tauba Tauba Nafs Maghroor Hai

  Pardon(my Lord),Pardon (my Lord), the self(inner being- this cant be

  the exact definition of nafs though) is too proud

 



The above in a way describes the type of freedom when human being is 

physically free but he is not having inner or material resources to do 

something. Thus, it is not the body of the humans that is bonded but the 

soul, the essence of humans that is under captivity.



 and also in the last line when he says 'dunia ko na kar sajda', it means 

 dont bow your head before the world,people in front of you but only to god.

 i am not sure about these any way,,



Think so. It is one of the basic tenets of Islam that a Sajda is to be 

done only to Allah.



 expect more regarding these from fellow members

Why are you assuming that the Original poster has not heard the original
full songs and has rather heard only samples?

ANS:- Go read the Original poster's mail. He clearly stated he listened to
the samples.
  AFTER LISTING TO YUVRAAJ SAMPLE MUSIC I AM NOT IMPRESS 
 So before shooting ur reply, READ carefully.

No. ARR's music has to reach worldwide. Limiting to the liking of ARR's
fans would be a disservice to ARR and to music.

ANS: ARR's music has reached worldwide as you can hear them being used in
movies and shows of
 different languages and he has fans across the world, not only
Indians but others as well.
 But its the so called Die hard fans of ARR that starts to criticize
his music immed after its release
 claiming how disappointed they are. Im not syaing he should be
limiting his music to the liking of his
 fans, but rather the fans should stop this kind of emails and take
time for the songs to sink in
before posting such emails. This has been happening every time ARR's

 Hey, don't it that seriously.
 
 Several, almost all, of ARR's albums had sounded even worse that 
 Himesh's music - IN THEIR FIRST FEW HEARINGS.
 
 But then ARR's magic happened and music grew on us and we could hear
and 
 sense and feel the divinity of ARR's music after repeated hearings.
 
  Listen to 'Zindagi' and then tell me.
  I can assure you Himesh can't even imagine something like this even if
  angels of music award him with knowledge of best music.
 
 Himesh had a meteoric rise and a legendary fall. He came, shone and 
 disappeared, all within a span of almost just one year.
 
 Himesh's is a forgotten name now. Let us not beat him for someone 
 mentioning his name here.

ARR, the master chef has delivered a feast in 2008.  You want a

mesmerizing Qawali?  A big helping of Khwaja Mere Khwaja for you.  How

about a groovy jazz number?  A side of Tu Bole Main Boloon please.  A

delicious romantic number?  Yes! Seconds of Hawa Sun Hawa.  For a pick

me up, I'd also like the extremely addicting Kabhi Kabhi Aditi and

Taxi Taxi to get me buzzed.  For desssert, I'd like a really sweet

Kahin To with Tu Muskara.  



Only ARR can come up with some of the most versatile and varied music

that any composer in the world can create within a given year and even

a lifetime.  From Qawali, Indian folk, to Jazz, to Western Musical,

Symphony, new age alaap electronica, Italian like ballads, nobody can

match this man's awesome talent.  You may not like every song that he

composes, but you have to be awe struck by the power of this man's

music capacity and endless creativity.  Simply awe inspiring.

Hi All..

I have been 'quite a quiet' member of the group, but an ardent fan of ARR. Now 
i feel i have to break the silence and say YUVVRAAJ is great. I found it a bit 
weird for the first 2-3 listens too but this has happened so many times 
with ARR's album that I have stopped reacting and making comments in the first 
few days.. 

and really, I expect the same of any ARR fan... just take it easy.. DONT READ 
REVIEWS written by people who dont know this fact..

 Music Review: Yuvvraaj
 Published 
 by 
 Harry
 on October 15, 2008
 in Music. Tags: ar rahman, listen, lyrics, music soundtrack, review, 
yuvraj, yuvvraaj. 
 Subhash Ghai is one guy who knows how important music is for a
 Bollywood movie. He makes a good effort to ensure quality to the 
last
 bit. His soundtracks sell better than his films sometimes. Remember
 Taal? A.R Rahman’s music topped the charts for a really long time 
and
 the film blew up at the box office. Subhash Ghai is back with 
another
 flick titled Yuvvraaj. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, 
Anil
 Kapoor and Zayed Khan in lead roles. The music has been composed by 
A.R
 Rahman and the lyrics have been penned down by Gulzar. A typical
 Subhash Ghai menu. Yuvvraaj is slated for a November release. The 
music
 is finally out so let’s check it out!
  
 Track Listing
 01. Yuvvraaj - Main Hoon Yuvvraaj
 02. Yuvvraaj - Tu Meri Dost Hain
 03. Yuvvraaj - Shano Shano
 04. Yuvvraaj - Tu Muskura
 05. Yuvvraaj - Mastam Mastam
 06. Yuvvraaj - Zindagi
 07. Yuvvraaj - Dil Ka Rishta
 08. Yuvvraaj - Manmohini Morey
 09. Yuvvraaj - Shano Remix
 The soundtrack starts with Salman Khan with the fifth of Beethoven
 trying to introduce his character in the film. As usual he’s more
 confusing than ever. Skip it and move to the next track Tu Meri Dost
 Hain (it is actually Hain and not Hai) which starts off really well.
 Sung by Banny Dayal and Shreya Goshal, the song is a soothing 
melody.
 The next track Shano Shano is a surprise from A.R Rahman. It sucks
 right from the moment it begins. Tu Muskura by Alka Yagnik and Javed
 Ali is another soft number. Gulzar’s lyrics are not as 
extraordinary as
 they usually are. Mastam Mastam is a typical A.R Rahman melody. It 
will
 remind you of Saathiya. Zindagi, the next track, reminds me of
 Hariharan. Rang De Basanti has a track which could easily be blamed 
for
 this song. Skip the next track. Manmohini Mere is my favourite track 
in
 the entire soundtrack. It has been sung by Vijay Prakash, a dude I 
have
 never heard of before, but he managed to make up for the bad music 
in
 the album. A slow yet excellent track. The soundtrack ends with a 
remix
 of Shano Shano. The remix is actually better than the original 
version.
 On the whole, I really hope the double ‘V’ and ‘A’ work for
 Yuvvraaj. The soundtrack isn’t worth the money at all. Except for 
two
 tracks, the soundtrack is dull. Subhash Ghai and A.R Rahman have
 managed to disappoint. Finally!

You spoke very well Madhavan... In fact Raihannaji was giving you more time

Your speech was lengthier than Mr. Tanvir Ahmed 's speech. That goes to say

 Reverberating Raihanah By 
 Sandhyahttp://rockandraga.in/blog/author/sandhya321/
 ⋅ June 5, 2008 ⋅ Post a 
 commenthttp://rockandraga.in/blog/2008/06/05/reverberating-raihanah/#comments

 *The enthusiasm in her voice sure does justice to the `Rahmia`
 bit she croons over air-waves! Spirited, immensely talented, down-to-earth
 and extremely friendly- Raihanah will win hands down in the Most
 Approachable Celebrity category. Unwinding over a cup of tea, here`s what
 the musician-RJ-singer has to say about life and everything to Sandhya
 Ramachandran.*

 http://rockandraga.in/files/2008/06/223200834559am_1.jpg*Sandhya
 Ramachandran* : Raihanah- an ideal musical name, indeed! Could we be
 enlightened on its meaning?

 *Raihanah* : It is not everyone who gets the privilege of naming
 themselves. When we got converted to Islam, I got this opportunity. I was
 always fascinated with the name Raihanah-which was the name of a friend`s
 sister. Its meaning was beautiful-denoting the small scented basil flower.
 Later I came to know the name had one more meaning. Raihanah was the name
 given to the first step to heaven!

 *Sandhya Ramachandran* : How did music become the main vein of your life?

 *Raihanah* : My interest in music starts from school days. I belonged to
 the school choir for around 7 years. Rahman and I were enrolled in guitar
 classes. Rahman used to be great at reading the notes while I was good at
 picking the music and tune. Our father was a great inspiration to both of us
 and we grew up in a musical environment.Our tryst with music-learning was
 put on hold on our father`s demise and there was a point of time when we had
 to let his instruments for hire! Soon Rahman entered the music field and
 then as they say, the rest is history!I still continue to learn music as I
 believe, as a composer and singer, one has to constantly keep a tab on
 technological improvements and get friendly with the various styles,
 instruments and flavours of music.

 *Sandhya Ramachandran* : From music director of `Machchi` and `Aadaadha
 Aatamellaam`, to a singer of `Malai Malai` to `Ballelakka`- how was the
 tryst with music till now?

 *Raihanah* : My involvement with film music began with harmony singing. It
 was not my ambition to become a composer or singer! It was all providence`s
 work, I must say! From Funskool crayons ads to devotional songs to film
 music-I`ve sung harmony for everything and love doing that!

 When it comes to film singing, Shankar`s assistant Madhesh was present
 while I was practicing the harmony of `Malai Malai Madhurai Malai`. My base
 voice impressed him so much that he made me sing the lead with Anuradha
 Sriram! `Ballelakka` was a result of Shankar`s quest for using a totally
 different style of singing for the song. He made me try out different styles
 and in the end chose what one can now hear in the song.

 Composing was totally a sudden yet inevitable foray! I was the manager of
 Rahman`s state-of-the-art cassette factory that duplicated cassettes for the
 market. A colleague there Mr.Boban and I used to have bets as to how many
 cassettes of a particular album will sell. I`d win every single time with my
 prediction striking the bull`s eye! Apart from this, I used to find faults
 with the tune and pick out the best of them also. Seeing this Mr.Boban urged
 me to start composing. With advertisement jingles for Aala veshtigal, Sri
 Kumaran Silks(Madurai), Shanthi coconut oil, Suguna motors and the
 unreleased-Nilgiri`s, I stepped foot into composing.

 Film music direction happened with `Ninaive`-a yet-to-be-released movie.
 Machchi and `Aadatha aatamellam` followed.

 *Sandhya Ramachandran* : Being the sister of a world-famous composer means
 2 things- expectations and a shadowed career. How have you been able to cope
 with both these pressures?

 *Raihanah* : Expectations are always on a high and my work always tends to
 get compared with Rahman`s. But I only tend to take this positively and
 constantly attempt to lift my standards. I am yet to reach my full

Madham, 
  Enakku 20 Unakku 18, Sillunu Oru Kadhal, 
  Udhaya, Parasuram, ATM, and Ratchagan. 
You 
  will notice that 90 percent of his hit 
movies 
  are with well established directors or 
are 
  backed up by strong personalities, such 
  as Aamir Khan for his nephew in Jaane Tu.

  

  This is a sharp contrast to someone like 
  Yuvan who is more successful with new 
comers. 
  And his father, Ilayaraja, has an 
unprecedented 
  record of hit movies with new comers. The 
  irony is that Rahman's judgment in 
scripts 
  is not that great; he can connect with 
his 
  music but I don’t think he has the 
  ability to judge what scripts will work 
  and what will not. If Mani Ratnam, Aamir 
  Khan, and Shankar move on at this point 
  to new music directors, it will at least 
  give Rahman a new bandwidth of newcomers 
  to experiment with.

  

  I am not disputing that Rahman has set a 
  benchmark in the industry. However, I 
would 
  prefer that Rahman try and experiment 
with 
  more new comers and hone his instinct to 
  connect with new scripts instead of 
circling 
  back to those five top directors all the 
  time.

[arr] Expect a lot of varied and extreme reactions to Yuvvraaj

2008-10-16 Thread Chord
Why?  Let down expectations and very different musical genre.  People
have Taal in their mind and when they hear Yuvvraaj, they are somewhat
blindsided as the music is totally different from Taal.  Yuvvraaj is
more subdued, mellow, nuanced, varied, experimental.  This genre of
music is not for everyone and this album is mostly for the classes.  

Whenever Rahman experiemnts and brings in a new genre or sound, it's
initially met with apprehension and suspicion.  This album is
definitely a grower unlike Taal, which for many was an instant liker.  

I hate comparing this album to Taal and I won't beyond this.  Again, I
applaud Rahman for his boldness and experimental mode here, but wish
there were an additional song or two minus Sano that would have
launched this album into the super elite category, instead of just the
elite category.  

Interesting how Rahman kept the rhythm tracks fairly simple and
straight, while adding a lot of nuanced, complex layers at the same
time.  Just there were more tabla, dholak, and more ethnic percussion.

Yo guys are so wrong. So so so so wrong. A silent user here.

I heared the songs. And i can give this album easily a 5 / 5!

This is a total fresh breath! Its new wavew / mello / pure classic
mixd in to western beats. The tunes are well formed but still a bit
nonchalant..you never know where the lead singer will take you.
A. R. Rahman really has done it this time! I love the music...playing
with sargams in a western way like he is almost humming it.

A. R. Rahman proves that music doesnt have to be perfect. If they all
blend together and the ear can bring it through the mindthen why
change?

I love Dil Ka Rishta cause of the total new taste of modern music.
WHile the beat leads the rythm the background strings take  you away
to another level. The tunes/ chorus are so perfect in harmony. Then u
suddenly hear A. R. Rahman's voice doing a nonchalant
sargam...AMAZING! And right after that...a classic mind blowing
chasing tune!

All with all I love the whole album! One of the best of A. R. Rahman!

ps...not to mention the quality of the recoprdings.

Sorry for my bad english.

  Music Review: Yuvvraaj
  Published 
  by 
  Harry
  on October 15, 2008
  in Music. Tags: ar rahman, listen, lyrics, music soundtrack, review, 
 yuvraj, yuvvraaj. 
  Subhash Ghai is one guy who knows how important music is for a
  Bollywood movie. He makes a good effort to ensure quality to the 
 last
  bit. His soundtracks sell better than his films sometimes. Remember
  Taal? A.R Rahman’s music topped the charts for a really long time 
 and
  the film blew up at the box office. Subhash Ghai is back with 
 another
  flick titled Yuvvraaj. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, 
 Anil
  Kapoor and Zayed Khan in lead roles. The music has been composed by 
 A.R
  Rahman and the lyrics have been penned down by Gulzar. A typical
  Subhash Ghai menu. Yuvvraaj is slated for a November release. The 
 music
  is finally out so let’s check it out!
   
  Track Listing
  01. Yuvvraaj - Main Hoon Yuvvraaj
  02. Yuvvraaj - Tu Meri Dost Hain
  03. Yuvvraaj - Shano Shano
  04. Yuvvraaj - Tu Muskura
  05. Yuvvraaj - Mastam Mastam
  06. Yuvvraaj - Zindagi
  07. Yuvvraaj - Dil Ka Rishta
  08. Yuvvraaj - Manmohini Morey
  09. Yuvvraaj - Shano Remix
  The soundtrack starts with Salman Khan with the fifth of Beethoven
  trying to introduce his character in the film. As usual he’s more
  confusing than ever. Skip it and move to the next track Tu Meri Dost
  Hain (it is actually Hain and not Hai) which starts off really well.
  Sung by Banny Dayal and Shreya Goshal, the song is a soothing 
 melody.
  The next track Shano Shano is a surprise from A.R Rahman. It sucks
  right from the moment it begins. Tu Muskura by Alka Yagnik and Javed
  Ali is another soft number. Gulzar’s lyrics are not as 
 extraordinary as
  they usually are. Mastam Mastam is a typical A.R Rahman melody. It 
 will
  remind you of Saathiya. Zindagi, the next track, reminds me of
  Hariharan. Rang De Basanti has a track which could easily be blamed 
 for
  this song. Skip the next track. Manmohini Mere is my favourite track 
 in
  the entire soundtrack. It has been sung by Vijay Prakash, a dude I 
 have
  never heard of before, but he managed to make up for the bad music 
 in
  the album. A slow yet excellent track. The soundtrack ends with a 
 remix
  of Shano Shano. The remix is actually better than the original 
 version.
  On the whole, I really hope the double ‘V’ and ‘A’ work for
  Yuvvraaj. The soundtrack isn’t worth the money at all. Except for 
 two
  tracks, the soundtrack is dull. Subhash Ghai and A.R Rahman have
  managed to disappoint. Finally!

I'm not sure if this was posted earlier. In this interview, AR's sister
Raihanah talks about AR and the Rahmannia show she is hosting in the name of
AR.

I participated in her Rahmannia show yesterday and I couldn't see any
difference between AR and her, be it the simplicity, or be it the
spirituality. It was a wonderful experience that I had yesterday.

⋅ June 5, 2008 ⋅ Post a
commenthttp://rockandraga.in/blog/2008/06/05/reverberating-raihanah/#comments

*The enthusiasm in her voice sure does justice to the `Rahmia`
bit she croons over air-waves! Spirited, immensely talented, down-to-earth
and extremely friendly- Raihanah will win hands down in the Most
Approachable Celebrity category. Unwinding over a cup of tea, here`s what
the musician-RJ-singer has to say about life and everything to Sandhya
Ramachandran.*

http://rockandraga.in/files/2008/06/223200834559am_1.jpg*Sandhya
Ramachandran* : Raihanah- an ideal musical name, indeed! Could we be
enlightened on its meaning?

*Raihanah* : It is not everyone who gets the privilege of naming themselves.
When we got converted to Islam, I got this opportunity. I was always
fascinated with the name Raihanah-which was the name of a friend`s sister.
Its meaning was beautiful-denoting the small scented basil flower. Later I
came to know the name had one more meaning. Raihanah was the name given to
the first step to heaven!

*Sandhya Ramachandran* : How did music become the main vein of your life?

*Raihanah* : My interest in music starts from school days. I belonged to the
school choir for around 7 years. Rahman and I were enrolled in guitar
classes. Rahman used to be great at reading the notes while I was good at
picking the music and tune. Our father was a great inspiration to both of us
and we grew up in a musical environment.Our tryst with music-learning was
put on hold on our father`s demise and there was a point of time when we had
to let his instruments for hire! Soon Rahman entered the music field and
then as they say, the rest is history!I still continue to learn music as I
believe, as a composer and singer, one has to constantly keep a tab on
technological improvements and get friendly with the various styles,
instruments and flavours of music.

*Sandhya Ramachandran* : From music director of `Machchi` and `Aadaadha
Aatamellaam`, to a singer of `Malai Malai` to `Ballelakka`- how was the
tryst with music till now?

*Raihanah* : My involvement with film music began with harmony singing. It
was not my ambition to become a composer or singer! It was all providence`s
work, I must say! From Funskool crayons ads to devotional songs to film
music-I`ve sung harmony for everything and love doing that!

When it comes to film singing, Shankar`s assistant Madhesh was present while
I was practicing the harmony of `Malai Malai Madhurai Malai`. My base voice
impressed him so much that he made me sing the lead with Anuradha Sriram!
`Ballelakka` was a result of Shankar`s quest for using a totally different
style of singing for the song. He made me try out different styles and in
the end chose what one can now hear in the song.

Composing was totally a sudden yet inevitable foray! I was the manager of
Rahman`s state-of-the-art cassette factory that duplicated cassettes for the
market. A colleague there Mr.Boban and I used to have bets as to how many
cassettes of a particular album will sell. I`d win every single time with my
prediction striking the bull`s eye! Apart from this, I used to find faults
with the tune and pick out the best of them also. Seeing this Mr.Boban urged
me to start composing. With advertisement jingles for Aala veshtigal, Sri
Kumaran Silks(Madurai), Shanthi coconut oil, Suguna motors and the
unreleased-Nilgiri`s, I stepped foot into composing.

Film music direction happened with `Ninaive`-a yet-to-be-released movie.
Machchi and `Aadatha aatamellam` followed.

*Sandhya Ramachandran* : Being the sister of a world-famous composer means 2
things- expectations and a shadowed career. How have you been able to cope
with both these pressures?

*Raihanah* : Expectations are always on a high and my work always tends to
get compared with Rahman`s. But I only tend to take this positively and
constantly attempt to lift my standards. I am yet to reach my full potential
when it comes to composing and I`m constantly in the quest for higher levels
and greater adventures in producing good music!

*Sandhya Ramachandran *: You`ve been traveling with Rahman to all his shows
till date. How has the experience been?

*Raihanah* : It is fun traveling with a crowd that shares the same
wavelength. It is like one big family that travel together! Travelling with
Rahman is a great experience in itself! The respect and love he commands
also embraces us all!

*Sandhya Ramachandran :* Your influence on his music. His influences on your

exactly. this song is no less than a noise. and it is first song by 
ARR perhaps in over 10 years which i actually SKIPPED in first 
hearing. and that itself says all. there are too many things going in 
the song, too many singers, too much sano sano and a complete waste 
of Sonu Nigam. however i gave it more tries and now at least i do not 
skip it.
the only good moment in the song is the 20 seconds between 3:30 to 
3:50 where a female singer sings a line, it is magical. 
there is no comparison with Pappu, Bazi laga etc, this is the weakest 
song by ARR in many years. period.

 Why Rahman saab, why? I am really liking Yuvvraaj for many reasons,
 but why did you have to put in a clunker of a song in Sano Sano and
 that too its remix?  This is all Subhash Ghai's doing!  I know that
 many of you will come to this song's defense, saying it's hip, it's
 hop, it's fast, it's rhythmic.  Whatever.  To me, it lacks a lot.  
The
 only reason that Sano Sano is in this album is to appeal to a 
certain
 segment of the masses that like this kind of music.  It's a song 
just
 to please.  It stands out like such a sore thumb compared to the 
rest
 of this very classy and non conventional bollywood soundtrack.  Who
 knows, this song may become popular, but will be forgotten just as
 quick down the road.  I'm serious when I say that I can't listen to
 these two tracks completely without skipping to another song!  I 
like
 Pappu MUCH MUCH better than this one and even Baazi Laga from Guru 
is
 better than this!  I was so afraid there would be a song like this 
in
 this album and my worst fear came true!  
 
 That being said, the rest of the songs are REALLY GROWING on me fast
 and if Sano and its hideous remix sister were removed, this album
 would be a classic.  Oh well, 7/9 is not bad.  I really admire
 Rahman's work in this album given some of the weaknesses I had
 mentioned earlier.  His genius does shine in this album, but it
 doesn't grab me emotionally like JA did.  One I think I did like is
 that the sound is pretty clean and not muddied outside of the Sano
 tracks.  Even with the hip hop techno beats, they are fairly clean
 minus the noise factor.  Arrangements are just mindblowing.






[arr] Re: My initial Yuvvraaj impressions expanded

2008-10-16 Thread Jahanzeb Farooq
well Chord no post could have expressed my feeling better than this 
post. i will add more..

Main Hoon Yuvvraaj: what a let down and disappointing start of the 
album. A complete waste with childish and stupid lyrics by Gulzar 
(what's up with you man), cheap and stupid singing by a cheap and 
stupid actor. a complete hell waste of Beethoven's piece. if you 
simply omit his singing, it will be a quite acceptable to start the 
album with. Main Hoon Yuvvraaj has the credit that it is the WORST 
ever non-song in an ARR album, a black spot. and i know credit must go 
to Ghai for forcing this *** on ARR.

Tu Meri Dost Hain: some people said rightly here. unfortunately this 
was the best song of the album. a pretty good song overall, though 
nothing special or Rahmanish. interludes are nice. did not like ARR's 
singing though, don't understand what is going with him.

Shano Shano: i have already expressed my anger and disappointment with 
this song in another post. to repeat it here this is first song by ARR 
perhaps in past 10 years which i SKIPPED in first hearing. this is one 
of the weakest songs of ARR. again dont understand what went wrong 
with him. does this type of a song deserved to be in a grand musical 
like Yuvvraaj?, actually it does not deserve to be in any of ARR's 
albums. 

Tu Muskura: Some relief. a good song. more Rahmanish than Tu Meri Dost 
Hain. its in the league of Milo Wahan Wahan (Ada) and Tu Bin Bataye 
(RDB) though the the two were better. good singing by Javed and Alka. 
starts superbly with violen or whatever.

Mastam Mastam: An okay song. nothing special. though started to grow 
on me more. Sonu is superb.

Zindagi: A pretty good song. Srinivas sounds like Hariharan. he rocked 
the song with his perfect singing. vocals are strong but music/melody 
is minimum (almost absent). 

Dil Ka Rishta: My favorite of album so far. very nice heavy 
arrangements. though very long and too much going on in the song. 
what a waste of Roopkumar, did not notice him after the beginning of 
song. hard to remember the tune of song, completely agree with Chord. alap by 
ARR does not impress much. don't know why but boss is not in 
very good form in this album.

Manmohini Meri: Great song. great fusion. best song of the album. the 
only song which deserved to be in a grand album of ARR-Ghai combo. 
though unfortunately very short. 

overall this would be my ranking:
Dil ka rishta
Manmohini meri
Tu muskra
Zindagi
Tu meri dost hai

sorry for any harsh words i used. this only shows my anger and 
disappointment. i m feeling like deceived. does this album really 
deserves to be soundtrack of a musical? i don't think so. Taal was 
absolutely the one. if i give Taal 10/10, Yuvvraaj would be 3/10.
some guys here are saying Taal was also not an instant hit and 
required time to grow. i completely disagree. i fell in love with Taal 
se Taal, Ishq bina, Ramta jogi, Ishq bina (Western) in the very first 
hearing. 

a huge disappointment. my dream of another album of Taal's standard 
(not Taal 2 btw) is broken for ever.

 rhtyhsms and less of ethnic percussion.  The punch is missing.
 - Lack of any instrumentals
 - Different genre of music that is thus far foreign to North Indian 
 tastes and may be met with resistance in the beginning.
 - Large carnatic influence in the music, which is not a bad thing, 
but 
 again, which Northies may not be used to.
 
 That's it for now!

 BGM whenever i used to listen those. The BGM
   sound quality
 is Amazing man!!! You know, i have most of the
   SOK BGMs as
 my mobile ringtone. (This week my ringing tone is
   Surya

 I remember you posted it as 2 archive.
   Unfortunately i lost
 the second archive.

 Once again, On behalf of out group i appreciate
   you for
 this Amazing Sound quality SOK BGM.

 Please keep it up and share your future ARR BGMs
   with same
 sound quality as you did with SOK.

 Thanks,

Hi PRATAP
I think the problem is the bad picturisation. Look at JTYJN, it is a 
blockbuster hit in 2008. What is the condition of script in JTYJN? Infact i 
didn#39;t digest this movie because ARR#39;s songs not picturised very well.

 A.R.Rahman isn't a good judge of scripts 
 October 16, 2008 
 I 
 was in the midst of a discussion 
 between 
 two friends talking about Rahman 
 and 
 Yuvan, and this made me to think 
 of 
 one contrasting difference 
 between 
 these composers. When you look at 
 A R Rahman’s career graph, you 
 can’t help noticing that most 
 of his flop movies (not flop 
 songs) 
 are with new directors that he 
 makes 
 music for 
 -recent example, Kala Prabhu’s 
 Sakkarakatti. 
   A sample list of other moderate to flop 
   movies would be: Pudiya Mugam, May 
 Madham, 
   Enakku 20 Unakku 18, Sillunu Oru 
 Kadhal, 
   Udhaya, Parasuram, ATM, and Ratchagan. 
 You 
   will notice that 90 percent of his hit 
 movies 
   are with well established directors or 
 are 
   backed up by strong personalities, such 
   as Aamir Khan for his nephew in Jaane 
 Tu. 
   This is a sharp contrast to someone 
 like 
   Yuvan who is more successful with new 
 comers. 
   And his father, Ilayaraja, has an 
 unprecedented 
   record of hit movies with new comers. 
 The 
   irony is that Rahman's judgment in 
 scripts 
   is not that great; he can connect with 
 his 
   music but I don’t think he has the 
   ability to judge what scripts will work 
   and what will not. If Mani Ratnam, 
 Aamir 
   Khan, and Shankar move on at this point 
   to new music directors, it will at 
 least 
   give Rahman a new bandwidth of 
 newcomers 
   to experiment with. 
   I am not disputing that Rahman has set 
 a 
   benchmark in the industry. However, I 
 would 
   prefer that Rahman try and experiment 
 with 
   more new comers and hone his instinct 
 to 
   connect with new scripts instead of 
 circling 
   back to those five top directors all 
 the 
   time.

2008-10-16 Thread rahmanfever
Rajeev Menon to direct Abhishek

Rajeev Menon, who was basically an ad film maker, is one of the senior
ace cinematographers in Indian Cinema. He has also directed the films
'Minsara Kanavu' and 'Kandukondaen Kandukondaen'.

Recent buzzes say that he would soon start a Hindi film with Abhishek
Bachchan in the lead role.

Sources reveal that the movie is a remake of 'Abhimaan', a yesteryear
superhit of Amitabh Bachchan. It is said that Rajeev Menon has also
asked Amitabh to do a guest role in the film, besides Jaya Bachchan.

Rajeev Menon has also cranked the camera for many films, the latest
being Mani Ratnam's 'Guru.

Rajiv Menon to dabble in Bollywood again

Malayalam director Rajiv Menon, who has made the beautiful Tamil movies
Minsaara Kanavu and Kandukondain Kandukondain, is eyeing Bollywood now.
It is said that he is all set to make a film with Amitabh Bachchan, a
remake of Bachchan's Abhimaan. The proposed film will be made with the
name Dhun and guess what? The lead role will be done by Big B's darling
son Abhishek Bachchan. Amitabh will also appear in a pivotal role.

This is not the first time that Rajiv Menon is entering Bollywood.
Earlier, he had remade his Minsaara Kanavu as Sapnay in Hindi, which
became an average grosser. Rajiv Menon is a multi-faceted personality
who has even tried his hand in acting through the Malayalam film
Harikrishnans which had Mammootty and Mohanlal in the lead roles. The
film had him in a small but pivotal role by which the handsome director
proved that he can also act. He has also wielded the camera for films
like Mani Ratnam's Guru which had Abhishek Bachchan in the lead and the
very famous Bombay.

[ARR] Yuvraaj Launch - ARR and his mother

2008-10-16 Thread Gomzy
http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2008/oct/16video3.htm


*Now, you can listen to Salman's Yuvvraaj*
  The music launch of *Yuvvraaj* on Thursday in Mumbai marked a number of
firsts for its star players. Here's why:

1. The film, which stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Zayed
Khan, saw the collaboration between A R Rahman and Subhash Ghai after nine
long years. The last time the two worked together was in *Taal*.

2. The film also marked the first time Salman Khan is working with showman
Subhash Ghai.

3. And lastly, we got a glimpse of A R Rahman's mother, Kareema Begum who
happened to be the guest of honour at the launch.

*Yuvvraaj* is likely to release in the last week of November.

 Music review: Yuvvraaj (Hindi - A R Rahman)

 Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

 

 Benny’s fabulous in the pensive melody, Tu meri dost; the contoured

 tune and nuanced orchestration works well. Beyond the instantly catchy

 facade, Shano is simplistically pop, while the lilting Tu muskura has

 wonderful vocals from Alka, and particularly Javed Ali. Mastam is at

 best a non-starter medley even as Zindagi, the Srinivas-solo, takes off

 from where Nahin saamne left, without the same effect. The

 grandiloquent orchestration and unconventional structure of Dil ka

 rishta and the semi-classical, new-age fusion, Manmohini are testimony

 to the composer’s path-breaking innovation. Yuvvraaj has interesting

 thematic music that is perhaps best seen and not just heard.

[arr] Akon to sing for Rahman

2008-10-16 Thread Madhavan Rajan
http://www.screenindia.com/news/Yuvraaj--s-music-is-classical--thinks-A-R-Rahman/374101/

A R Rahman is a man of few words and says he gets bored easily,
occasionally, even of his own compositions. And he's clearly in the mood for
reinvention. Rahman and Phat Phish, an entertainment company have plunged
into the reality show brigade with The Big Band and will soon tour 15 cities
searching for that one magical group of musicians. Bands in our country are
highly underestimated. And if there is one thing that reality shows have
succeeded at it's discovering great talent, says Rahman. Formatted as a
travelogue, the show will move to neighbouring countries including Sri
Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal and is expected to go on air by December on
Doordarshan. It's about the content not the channel, insists Rahman. On
the personal music front, Rahman has two feature releases— Subhash Ghai's
'Yuvvraaj' and Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionnaire'.

Yuvvraaj's music is classical and if you enjoy Beethoven, you'll love
this, he says about the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer. And Slum Dog..?
It's about multi-culturalism which is bridging gaps across the globe, says
Rahman.

But if there's one project that Rahman gets animated about, it is the rap
version of the English translation of 'Thirukkural', the classic Tamil work
, which he is creating. Rapper Blaaze will be singing it. Akon has
expressed interest in singing a Punjabi song and talks are on with his
manager. But one has to understand that bhangra is not the only flavour of
India, he signs off. Since it's Rahman, point well taken.

Cheers,
Madhavan.R

 i have similar feelings. something is going wrong with ARR. besides 
 this i cannot believe this is same team who brought us Taal.
 and for others who replied, yes we know that ARR's music grows, do you 
 guys need to teach this to us??? we are as much fans of ARR as you 
 are. in case of Yuvraaj it is a grandeur project, the expectations are 
 sky rocketing, we cannot afford something which grows, we need an 
 instant classic, something like Taal. did Taal take time to grow? 
 never. it was a classic from the first bit of the the first song. did 
 Dil se, Bombay, Rangeela, Saathiya etc etc etc took time to grow?? no! 
 even relatively less classics Guru, RDB and JA were more effective in 
 first hearing.

Rangeela did grow. Those were initial days of ARR (remember, ARR's first 
hindi release) and I have not developed full faith on him, and I 
remember how much disappointed I was on first day's hearing of Rangeela. 
Whatever effects ARR had used, those didn't reach my mind and ears that 
were just not trained to look for them. Tanha Tanha sounded so flat, 
Haay Rama sounded south Indian-ish, kya karein sounded sadak chhap, in 
ho ja rangeela, the kid's voice pinched in the ears at many higher notes 
than the rest of soft Asha voice.

I had then recently converted to ARR after hearing Urvashi, and I was 
damn disappointed.

But, I didn't give up, and kept on hearing and the beauty of the songs 
slowly revealed to me and I started liking it a lot. Surprisingly, 
Mangta Hai Kya is my one of all time fav of ARR.

So, Rangeela did grew on me.

A.R.Rahman isn't a good judge of scripts 
 
October 16, 2008 
 
I was in the midst of a discussion between two friends talking about Rahman and 
Yuvan, and this made me to think of one contrasting difference between these 
composers. When you look at A R Rahman’s career graph, you can’t help noticing 
that most of his flop movies (not flop songs) are with new directors that he 
makes music for 
   
-recent example, Kala Prabhu’s Sakkarakatti. A sample list of other moderate to 
flop movies would be: Pudiya Mugam, May Madham, Enakku 20 Unakku 18, Sillunu 
Oru Kadhal, Udhaya, Parasuram, ATM, and Ratchagan. You will notice that 90 
percent of his hit movies are with well established directors or are backed up 
by strong personalities, such as Aamir Khan for his nephew in Jaane Tu.

This is a sharp contrast to someone like Yuvan who is more successful with new 
comers. And his father, Ilayaraja, has an unprecedented record of hit movies 
with new comers. The irony is that Rahman's judgment in scripts is not that 
great; he can connect with his music but I don’t think he has the ability to 
judge what scripts will work and what will not. If Mani Ratnam, Aamir Khan, and 
Shankar move on at this point to new music directors, it will at least give 
Rahman a new bandwidth of newcomers to experiment with.

I am not disputing that Rahman has set a benchmark in the industry. However, I 
would prefer that Rahman try and experiment with more new comers and hone his 
instinct to connect with new scripts instead of circling back to those five top 
directors all the time.

the song, too many singers, too much sano sano and a complete waste 
of Sonu Nigam. however i gave it more tries and now at least i do not 
skip it.
the only good moment in the song is the 20 seconds between 3:30 to 
3:50 where a female singer sings a line, it is magical. 
there is no comparison with Pappu, Bazi laga etc, this is the weakest 
song by ARR in many years. period.

 many of you will come to this song's defense, saying it's hip, it's
 hop, it's fast, it's rhythmic. Whatever. To me, it lacks a lot. 
The
 only reason that Sano Sano is in this album is to appeal to a 
certain
 segment of the masses that like this kind of music. It's a song 
just
 to please. It stands out like such a sore thumb compared to the 
rest
 of this very classy and non conventional bollywood soundtrack. Who
 knows, this song may become popular, but will be forgotten just as
 quick down the road. I'm serious when I say that I can't listen to
 these two tracks completely without skipping to another song! I 
like
 Pappu MUCH MUCH better than this one and even Baazi Laga from Guru 
is
 better than this! I was so afraid there would be a song like this 
in
 this album and my worst fear came true! 
 
 That being said, the rest of the songs are REALLY GROWING on me fast
 and if Sano and its hideous remix sister were removed, this album
 would be a classic. Oh well, 7/9 is not bad. I really admire
 Rahman's work in this album given some of the weaknesses I had
 mentioned earlier. His genius does shine in this album, but it
 doesn't grab me emotionally like JA did. One I think I did like is
 that the sound is pretty clean and not muddied outside of the Sano
 tracks. Even with the hip hop techno beats, they are fairly clean
 minus the noise factor. Arrangements are just mindblowing.

 Why?  Let down expectations and very different musical genre.  People
 have Taal in their mind and when they hear Yuvvraaj, they are somewhat
 blindsided as the music is totally different from Taal.  Yuvvraaj is
 more subdued, mellow, nuanced, varied, experimental.  This genre of
 music is not for everyone and this album is mostly for the classes.  
 
 Whenever Rahman experiemnts and brings in a new genre or sound, it's
 initially met with apprehension and suspicion.  This album is
 definitely a grower unlike Taal, which for many was an instant liker.  
 
 I hate comparing this album to Taal and I won't beyond this.  Again, I
 applaud Rahman for his boldness and experimental mode here, but wish
 there were an additional song or two minus Sano that would have
 launched this album into the super elite category, instead of just the
 elite category.  
 
 Interesting how Rahman kept the rhythm tracks fairly simple and
 straight, while adding a lot of nuanced, complex layers at the same
 time.  Just there were more tabla, dholak, and more ethnic percussion.

This is strictly for the recent quot;criticsquot; in this group. Even atleast

any other MD like ARR who still on the top in the last 16 years? Remember JODHA 
AKBAR released 2008, not in the 90#39;s. If ARR did albums only for his fans 
without any variety, will ARR in this industry now? Could we get LAGAAN, JA, 
JTYJN, RDB, ZUBEIDA, GURU  etc.? ARR is changing his style of music from one

[arr] Blogger Review - yuvraj

2008-10-16 Thread Anil Nair
http://uselessdiary.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/music-of-yuvraaj/


Dear Diary,

After a long wait the audio of Yuvraj is out. And i've been listening to the
songs like a maniac. 8 hours of listening in the last 16 hours. Thats a
personal record. Before i start writing to you about each song, lemme assure
you that this is one of Rahmans best and the man never ceases to amaze me.
Since this ones a movie based on western classical music, Boss has raised
his standards yet again and given us an awesome soundtrack.  Okay now, lemme
tell you about the songs.

** Tu meri dosth hai:*

   I have already told you that Benny Dayal is a star, Haven't i?
And the man proves that again. He along with Sheraya Ghosal handles this
melodious number with elan. This one is a slow, gentle melody which sweeps
you off your feet right from the word go. The gentle beats and the Violins
take you to a different world. And it only gets better when Boss joins Benny
and Shreya for a brief while. The thought that this song is pictured on
Salman Khan makes me shudder. *SIGH* What a waste!!! But then, forget the
visuals and listen to this masterpiece of a song.

** Mastam mastam:*

*  * Sonu Nigam Joins Alka and Naresh Iyer in this song which has
traces of the Aditya Narayan song from Taal and Smiyay from KK. I guess
the backing vocals and the heavy beats in the interludes gives one that
feeling. This is a song for all seasons as its fun and frolic and all that
stuff or atleast thats what the music suggests :P. Naresh Iyer compliments
Sonu perfectly and Sonu sounds like a lotta fun. Nice song, This.

*Dil Ka Rishta:*

Boy!!! This song is the mother of all experimentations. And it works like a
charm :). Western Classical meets Hindusthani meets qawwali meets pop. The
song has a complicated structure starting with one genre and flowing into
different genres of music as it progresses. And its the orchestration of
this song that stands out. A song that only A R R can conceive and compose.
Sonu, Roop Kumar, Clinton, Suzanne, Vivianne, Naresh, Benny, Blaaze and Boss
are the singers. Sonu Nigam as usual is awesome and he sings with so much
ease. Boss does another fateh ali khanish qawwali-sargam in the middle which
doesnt fail to bring those goosebumps everytime i listen to the song. An
orchestrational wonder.

*Manmohini :*

Vijay Prakash (yet another find by boss?) sings this semi classical
number which is classic in everysense of the word. I dont know why Vijay
Prakash reminds me of Hariharan. The Violin bits in the end while he goes
Manmohini is nice. I am hooked on to this one currently. Great song.

*Tu Muskura :*

 This ones another melody and a good one at that. The song flows like a
river when Alka sings it and then Javed Ali picks it in the middle taking it
to another level. A number that will go down as one of the best experimental
melodies in the history of Indian Music :).

*Zindagi:*

  Srinivas at the helm of affairs after a long time in Hindi,
and what a way to comeback? This one is a slow number that will make you
feel weak on your knees while listening. The guitar riffs in the back
ground, the haunting interludes and the violins that run through out the
song are marks of a genius. Trust Rahman to come up with something as good
as this one when he joins hands with Subhash Ghai.

*Shano Shano:*

 A song for the dance floor. Rahman is someone who always experiments
with any kind of genre. Remember his classic dappanguthu songs in ATM, if i
can call them that? Something that only he can do and here he comes with a
classic dance number. Sonu Nigam with a bunch of others sing this classic
pappu cant dance saala. And Ember rap joins them in the remix version.



To sum the entire album in words, its a Innovative, path breaking, classic
masterpiece. And Diary, in the coming days you will hear a lot about these
songs as i am sure they are gonna grow on the listeners. The sad part is
that this year the competition for the best music director is between Rahman
and Rahman :|. Jodha Akbar and Yuvraaj. Lets wait and see which one takes
the crown.

  'nafs' i think is 'body' in arabic.so it might be the same in urdu as
  well i guess.

 nafs (urdu) means soul/ spirit/ essence/ breath.

 So, it is much deeper than body.

  Tauba Tauba Nafs Maghroor Hai
  Pardon(my Lord),Pardon (my Lord), the self(inner being- this cant be
  the exact definition of nafs though) is too proud
 

 The above in a way describes the type of freedom when human being is
 physically free but he is not having inner or material resources to do
 something. Thus, it is not the body of the humans that is bonded but the
 soul, the essence of humans that is under captivity.

  and also in the last line when he says 'dunia ko na kar sajda', it means
  dont bow your head before the world,people in front of you but only to
 god.
  i am not sure about these any way,,

 Think so. It is one of the basic tenets of Islam that a Sajda is to be
 done only to Allah.

  expect more regarding these from fellow members

 Music Review - YUVVRAAJ
http://www.loknews.com/2008/10/16/0647/music-review-yuvvraaj/

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu http://www.loknews.com/author/parampreet/ • Oct
16th, 2008 • Category:
Entertainmenthttp://www.loknews.com/category/entertainment/

*Music: A. R. Rahman*

*Lyrics: Gulzar*

YUVVRAAJ started creating buzz as soon as the first teasers started hitting
the airways. This is arguably the most anticipated soundtrack and movie of
2008. The Subhash Ghai http://www.loknews.com/tag/subhash-ghai/ – A. R.
Rahman duo only came together once before this venture and were responsible
for creating an epic
masterpiecehttp://www.loknews.com/tag/epic-masterpiece/that
stretched beyond anyone's imagination. The album was TAAL, and where
the late Anand Bakshi blessed the listeners with his soulful lyrics, Gulzar
will grace us this time with his insightful poetry in YUVVRAAJ.

Like its predecessor, the story of YUVVRAAJ is based on music, forcing the
songs to be play even a more important role than usual. Salman Khan starts
off the introduction to the album with a small monologue while Beethoven's
5th is played in the background, titled 'Main Hoon Yuvvraaj'. From the get
go its fair to assume the music in the movie will be based from the west,
rather than traditional Indian themeshttp://www.loknews.com/tag/indian-themes/
.

Rahman begins with a very promising start in 'Tu Meri Dost Hain' (Benny
Dayal, Shreya Ghosal http://www.loknews.com/tag/shreya-ghosal/, A. R.
Rahman). As soon as the violins make their entry, the heavily western
classical based song takes a Rahman turn for the good. Benny Dayal (another
prodigy of the maestro) is bearable, but is too reminiscent of Sonu Nigam.
Had the Sonu effect been in place instead of Benny, little Rafi would have
added an entirely new dynamic, taking the song to greater heights. Shreya
Ghosal maintains her voice well without reaching the higher pitches that
sometimes deter listeners from her. Rahman's vocals come towards the end
with very little effect. The composition suits Gulzar's lyrics perfectly.
The beauty and impact behind one of the most prolific
writershttp://www.loknews.com/tag/prolific-writers/of the modern era
is showcased very well.

If the first song left you completely vulnerable, hoping for a historic
caliber album; then get ready to be crushed!

'Shano Shano' (Sonu Nigam, Srinivas, Karthik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivienne
Pocha, Tina) strays away from the romantic feel, offering those young whiper
snappers a song to 'get on the floor' and dance to. Rahman has been
successful in the past when utilizing synthesizers for dance tracks ('O
Humdum Suniyo Re' from SAATHIYA), but at times 'Shano Shano' comes off as a
cheap 80s pop number. There was no point of having Sonu Nigam contribute to
this song, he had a minimal part and got drained by all the other singers.
Another negative was Rahman blatantly using snippets of a previously
recorded song, 'Chori Pe Chori', from SAATHIYA.

Retracting back to the original theme set by 'Tu Meri Dost Hain', Alka
Yagnik comes together with Javed Ali in 'Tu Muskura' for another romantic
duo. The last thing you want to do after listening to this track is smile.
For those who don't want to see their heroic composer fall deeper into the
mediocrity pool and eventually drown, then either throw the CD out or skip
back to 'Tu Meri Dost Hain'.

'Mastam Mastam' brings Sonu Nigam with Alka Yagnik and again makes this
album tougher to swallow. Alka was once the most sought after female singer,
but in the last few years her stock has declined drastically, paving the way
for the Shreya Ghosals and Sunidhi Chauhans.

Srinivas has not been able to establish himself in Bollywood, but is a power
house for the Southern film industries. He adds his S. P.
Balasubramanium-esque voice for a slow paced tune, 'Zindagi'. There's
nothing original in terms of the composition, Gulzar's lyrics are the only
positive.

Along with 'Tu Meri Dost Hain', 'Dil Ka Rishta' (Sonu Nigam, Roop Kumar
Rathod, A. R. Rahman) is the only other track that's worth paying attention
to. It seems more of a situational song that comes at a pivotal moment in
the movie. Chances are this will be used as a background piece for a
climatic event. The singers don't make or break this song, it purely
survives on the composition. This is whats expected of A. R. Rahman, not the
previous tracks!

A song with the most amount of potential is 'Manmohini Morey', where Vijay
Prakesh goes about his classical singing style with new age beats from
Rahman. This would have been a highly touted piece had Rahman put some
effort into incorporating classical instruments instead of relying on the
synthesizer.
Krishna Chetan concludes the album with 'Shano Remix ft Ember'. This is a
true remix, not just a faster track laid over the original song (which most
opt out for because its easier). This hip hop number is a lot slower than
the original from Rahman, but establishes a very unique sound of its own.

Dear All,

Atlast, Chennai... the hub of ARR received Yuvraj CDs.. Its available in all
Planet M Outlets. Myself, Madhavan Rajan, Kalyan, Rakesh, Karthik went
together and bought the CD couple of minutes back.

We also got a CD for Benny Dayal, and met him near Panchathan Studio.
Congratulated him for his wonderful singing in Yuvraaj, and I also
congratulated him for singing with Shreya Ghosal.

His part was recorded differently, and her part was recorded differently,
but still he feels great for having sung with Shreya Ghosal.

He has been getting a lot of reviews congratulating him for his song  Tu
Mera Dost Hai .

I love Yuvraj Music like anything Its a master piece from the BOSS, as
usual...

It would be available in Music World outlets from tomorrow...

[arr] Yuvvraaj soundtrack...my initial reactions..

2008-10-16 Thread msaif_787
Heard the songs on bollywoodhungama.com a few times...the Yuvvraaj 
album is really good!...but...it neither sounds like a Subhash Ghai 
movie soundtrack nor does it sound like an A.R.Rahman album when he 
works with big directors...it also sounds a little outdated...

With the exception of Kisna and Yaadein, all of Subhash Ghai's 
musical extravaganzas had atleast one screaming hit track - the 
soundtracks had lively and immensely entertaining music with lavish 
and elaborate instrumental arrangements...in comparison, Yuvvraaj is 
too simple, and relying a lot on electronic sound...less instruments 
work only when the melody is powerful, which is not the case here...

As for the outdated remark...the Manmohini track might sound very 
21st century-ish to some, but in actuality a techno band called Snap 
tried this experiment with great success in their song Rame released 
in 1996/97 -- I remember that song being hugely popular in my school 
(check out the song on Youtube)...Shano Shano sounds like a dance 
number from the UK Top 40 charts back in the early 90's...

I'm not sure what Subhash Ghai's trying to do here, the music is too 
low-key for his standards...don't get me wrong, I love all the songs 
from Yuvvraaj, but this just doesn't sound like a Subhash Ghai 
album, its more like an Abbas-Mustan or a Farhan Akhtar movie 
soundtrack (which is a compliment actually)...

And, where's Gulzar?...I don't see his touch anywhere save for a 
couple of lines...for goodness sakes he's teaming up with Ghai  
ARR, I expected hardcore unconventional yet superb poetry 
here...moving on, ARR saab please stop using Alka Yagnik because 
clearly her voice is not what it used to be...lastly, Benny has a 
very good voice, but a song like Tu Meri Dost needs a more 
experienced and a stronger singer...

Well, those were my initial reactions, they might change later 
on...lets see...

 i have similar feelings. something is going wrong with ARR. besides 
 this i cannot believe this is same team who brought us Taal.
 and for others who replied, yes we know that ARR's music grows, do you 
 guys need to teach this to us??? we are as much fans of ARR as you 
 are. in case of Yuvraaj it is a grandeur project, the expectations are 
 sky rocketing, we cannot afford something which grows,

an album-that-grows is always a winner in the long run.

 we need an instant classic, something like Taal. 

Subhas Ghai had been one of most consistant good music giver in his 
films. Most of his films' music had been immensely popular, even when he 
had changed MDs almost with every film. The guy had guts to remove 
RDBurman from his film.

and with ARR, he did give Taal, the most popular album of ARR. So, I am 
still ready to trust the wisdom of Ghai about choice of music.

 did Taal take time to grow? 
 never. it was a classic from the first bit of the the first song. 

btw, for me, Ishq Bina is still TOO SWEET, Saccharine sweet. My fav from 
Taal are Kahin Aag Lage, Taal Se Taal Mila, Ni Main Samajh Gayi and 
Nahin Saamne. The remixes I totally disliked. To each his own.

 did 
 Dil se, Bombay, Rangeela, Saathiya etc etc etc took time to grow?? no! 
 even relatively less classics Guru, RDB and JA were more effective in 
 first hearing.

Re: [arr] A.R.Rahman isn't a good judge of scripts

2008-10-16 Thread ashwin
The author mentions that movies by new directors that were hit were 
backed by strong personalities. Lagaan was produced by Aamir Khan. 
Rakeysh Mehra himself admits that without Aamir the movie was not 
possible, hence again the movie had strong backing.
As I don't watch Tamil movies I can't comment on them. 
However, i'd say that a good script rendered badly on screen can also 
spoil a movie. But with the kind of movies being churned out of 
Bollywood, ARR's choice seems spot on, with a few exceptions obviously 
like Lakeer, Kisna. But I'm glad he did compose music for them!
So an interesting observation indeed!




Re: [arr] Best headphones required !!! HELP

2008-10-16 Thread yvs.aditya
Hi everyone,
I tried posting a mail before, but was in a hurry and I'm not sure if
i even managed to post it successfully.
The thing is i think i can help some people.
Without being condescending i believe that BOSE as a headphone is
great compared to your creatives,i pod free-bees,and the likes.
However,the general perception in audiophile circles is that BOSE is a
overpriced toy.By the way, any noise cancellation is deemed highly
distortive(because the artificial noise cancellation interferes with
the original frequencies).In any case, the point is that for the price
you pay for BOSE you are likely to find much better sounding
headphones than the Goliath.Also BOSE is not the pinnacle of sound
reproduction as the myth surrounding it around here suggests.Ask a
good DJ and you will know.

To the more important point,
This dossier is a good starting point for people looking at headphones.
Less than 2000: buy Koss KSC75(better than QC3).
For 5k to 12-15k try Grados SR series,medium priced Shures ,
Audio Technica wooden series etc.
For more expensive ones under 25 k try HD595 600 650.Denons,bayer
dynamics,ultimate ears or shure(for in ear).
under 30K-50k you can get grados GS/HP series or ultrasone.Ofcourse
you will enter STAX/Sony RS1 here and go on till 3 lakhs in STAX.

But for the best headphones like the HDs or grados amplifiers are a
must.All headphones worth more than 15 k are just as good as the Music
you listen to.The best headphones needs the best amps and the best
source to create the best music.

For senheissers i would suggest you little dot or dark voice
amplifiers.If money is not a constraint look at stuff like zana deux.
In any case if you are looking at spending 15 k you would do better
than to look at a mail like this. Try headfi.org. The singular site 
for audiophiles.

For people looking to shred me to pieces i accept that i have very
little knowledge in this area.But i've studied
enough to know that regardless of the knowledge, one has one likely to
get the same advice even from a pro.

Aditya.

[arr] Rehman’s music just gives the song perfect pitch of emotions and melody.

2008-10-16 Thread Vithur
http://tdas.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/yuvvraaj-music-review/

*YUVVRAAJ* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Yuvraj music review - Subhash
Ghai , A.R. Rehman , Gulzaar…… Three mega performers in their respective
field of arts together … A promise in itself to deliver beautiful music. It
is no secret that Ghai himself gets involved in the music of his movie so
much and delivers amazing product each and every time. The three names
assures me of good poetry , melodious tune and beautiful picturization.


Sung by Benny Dayal and the wonderful Shreya Ghoshal. With every song she is
singing , you cannot help but fall in love with her.Benny's husky voice is
perfect for the soulful ambience of this song.Sounds like Rehman clone but
has really good voice and does amazing job. Shreya Ghoshal … the voice cant
get any sweeter or melodious. Very fitting complement to Benny's vocal. The
way she releases the lyrics , (note the way she ends every word of hers…i
think its becoming her signature style. just fades out the pitch before
going on to next word).Many sources say song is sung by Rehman himself. One
para does sound like Rehman has sung it.Sweet and Simple lyrics by Gulzar. I
wonder why he transformed his style from absolute poetry like Saathiya
tittle to very simple poem as in Jaane-man and this song itself. In all very
hummable and lovely song. One more thing , i think it acts pretty much as
background score for the entire movie. The tune is also used in other songs
of the album …. Tu Muskura and Manmohini

*Main hoon Yuvvraj *

this is the album opener. Rather than a number , its a recital by Salman
Khan with Beethoven's symphony in the background. One minute of blabber , i
think describing his character. Gives you the feeling this movie is again
based on musical background like Ghai's previous TAAL.

*Shanno Shanno*

Mix between Flo-rida style and Pappu can't Dance. Doesnt really makes sense
to me the importance this number in the album. I hope it is needed in the
script

*Tu Muskura *

Glimpses of Gulzar stlye in lyrics. Very well sung by Javed Ali and Alka
yagnik. She is melodious and justifies the mood of the song. Javed Ali does
well on Rehman's standard of singing fast sargams in the song.

*Mastam Mastam *

Fun-frolic party kinda peppy number. I think lyrics would make sense
according to the scene in the script. Sonu nigam does well using his
signature style in the entire song. Nothing much to do for him or show his
talent (he doesnt need to do so anymore) as far as the song is considered.
But if you are a Sonu Nigam fan , note the variations he used and can
appreciate how he has sung this one differently from what others would have
done. I think thats the only reason Rehman went with Sonu for this song.

*Zindagi*

Listening to a couple of lines, i thought it was Hariharan but later on
realised it was kinda different though. Srinivas gets the emotions right on.
Sung very well with beautiful Gulzar lyrics and apt music. Rehman's music
just gives the song perfect pitch of emotions and melody.
*
Dil Ka Rishta*

Sounds much more as a musical theme . Really loved the way the music is
arranged. Again , song would be more appreciated once the story is known.
But for now listen to this one as a theme music, you will enjoy Rehman's

*Manmohini Morey*

Nicely done by Vijay Prakash. This falls in classical music genre with
Rehman's use of different instruments in mono form (sound flowing from one
speaker to another) making it semi-classical.

*Shano Shano Remix
*
Not a big fan of remixes. Opted not to listen to this one as the first one
was kinda disappointing.

*In all Tu hi to meri dost is the star of the album with good melodies like
Zindagi followed by Tu Muskura**

enjoy!!!

 I have listened to the music of Yuvraaj and would conclude in

When someone appreciates ARR's music in its first few hearings,

Music Review - YUVVRAAJ
 http://www.loknews.com/2008/10/16/0647/music-review-yuvvraaj/

 By Parampreet Singh Sandhu http://www.loknews.com/author/parampreet/ •
 Oct 16th, 2008 • Category: 
 Entertainmenthttp://www.loknews.com/category/entertainment/

 *Music: A. R. Rahman*

 *Lyrics: Gulzar*

 YUVVRAAJ started creating buzz as soon as the first teasers started hitting
 the airways. This is arguably the most anticipated soundtrack and movie of
 2008. The Subhash Ghai http://www.loknews.com/tag/subhash-ghai/ – A. R.
 Rahman duo only came together once before this venture and were responsible
 for creating an epic 
 masterpiecehttp://www.loknews.com/tag/epic-masterpiece/that stretched 
 beyond anyone's imagination. The album was TAAL, and where
 the late Anand Bakshi blessed the listeners with his soulful lyrics, Gulzar
 will grace us this time with his insightful poetry in YUVVRAAJ.

 Like its predecessor, the story of YUVVRAAJ is based on music, forcing the
 songs to be play even a more important role than usual. Salman Khan starts
 off the introduction to the album with a small monologue while Beethoven's
 5th is played in the background, titled 'Main Hoon Yuvvraaj'. From the get
 go its fair to assume the music in the movie will be based from the west,
 rather than traditional Indian 
 themeshttp://www.loknews.com/tag/indian-themes/
 .

 Rahman begins with a very promising start in 'Tu Meri Dost Hain' (Benny
 Dayal, Shreya Ghosal http://www.loknews.com/tag/shreya-ghosal/, A. R.
 Rahman). As soon as the violins make their entry, the heavily western
 classical based song takes a Rahman turn for the good. Benny Dayal (another
 prodigy of the maestro) is bearable, but is too reminiscent of Sonu Nigam.
 Had the Sonu effect been in place instead of Benny, little Rafi would have
 added an entirely new dynamic, taking the song to greater heights. Shreya
 Ghosal maintains her voice well without reaching the higher pitches that
 sometimes deter listeners from her. Rahman's vocals come towards the end
 with very little effect. The composition suits Gulzar's lyrics perfectly.
 The beauty and impact behind one of the most prolific 
 writershttp://www.loknews.com/tag/prolific-writers/of the modern era is 
 showcased very well.

 If the first song left you completely vulnerable, hoping for a historic
 caliber album; then get ready to be crushed!

 'Shano Shano' (Sonu Nigam, Srinivas, Karthik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivienne
 Pocha, Tina) strays away from the romantic feel, offering those young whiper
 snappers a song to 'get on the floor' and dance to. Rahman has been
 successful in the past when utilizing synthesizers for dance tracks ('O
 Humdum Suniyo Re' from SAATHIYA), but at times 'Shano Shano' comes off as a
 cheap 80s pop number. There was no point of having Sonu Nigam contribute to
 this song, he had a minimal part and got drained by all the other singers.
 Another negative was Rahman blatantly using snippets of a previously
 recorded song, 'Chori Pe Chori', from SAATHIYA.

 Retracting back to the original theme set by 'Tu Meri Dost Hain', Alka
 Yagnik comes together with Javed Ali in 'Tu Muskura' for another romantic
 duo. The last thing you want to do after listening to this track is smile.
 For those who don't want to see their heroic composer fall deeper into the
 mediocrity pool and eventually drown, then either throw the CD out or skip
 back to 'Tu Meri Dost Hain'.

 'Mastam Mastam' brings Sonu Nigam with Alka Yagnik and again makes this
 album tougher to swallow. Alka was once the most sought after female singer,
 but in the last few years her stock has declined drastically, paving the way
 for the Shreya Ghosals and Sunidhi Chauhans.

 Srinivas has not been able to establish himself in Bollywood, but is a
 power house for the Southern film industries. He adds his S. P.
 Balasubramanium-esque voice for a slow paced tune, 'Zindagi'. There's
 nothing original in terms of the composition, Gulzar's lyrics are the only
 positive.

 Along with 'Tu Meri Dost Hain', 'Dil Ka Rishta' (Sonu Nigam, Roop Kumar
 Rathod, A. R. Rahman) is the only other track that's worth paying attention
 to. It seems more of a situational song that comes at a pivotal moment in
 the movie. Chances are this will be used as a background piece for a
 climatic event. The singers don't make or break this song, it purely
 survives on the composition. This is whats expected of A. R. Rahman, not the
 previous tracks!

 A song with the most amount of potential is 'Manmohini Morey', where Vijay
 Prakesh goes about his classical singing style with new age beats from
 Rahman. This would have been a highly touted piece had Rahman put some
 effort into incorporating classical instruments instead of relying on the
 synthesizer.
 Krishna Chetan concludes the album with 'Shano Remix ft Ember'. This is a
 true remix, not just a faster track laid over 

[arr] Re: Before critizising ARR read it guys....

2008-10-16 Thread ashwin
Very well said! It's one thing to have a few hits to one's name and 
quite another to consistently remain at the top. Just like Sachin 
Tendulkar I'd say! thatt's why both are aptly called Genius.



[arr] Awesome songs of Yuvvraaj

2008-10-16 Thread Anil Wadghule
I just listened to songs of Yuvvraaj. What awesome are those.

These songs are definitely ahead of time. I read some negative reviews. But
those people will definitely start loving these songs after 3-4 months or
more than that. After all, all these are by A. R. Rahman. Not by anyone
else.

There is magic behind ARR songs. Not a single song of ARR feels ultimate on
first listening. We normal human have such low grasp of music, that we
cannot get until we listen those until 10 times.

History shows every song has hidden magic. It starts doing magic after some
time and then forever.

Boss' voice is magic. His voice always shows his genuineness and his
devotion to music.

I am damn sure after watching the film, everyone would definitely appreciate
why A.R.R has done such great music.

Well done again Boss.
