Actually, the 1947 Earth zindagi was in two parts. Srinivas gave the only the prelude that was same in either part. The real mukhda was in female chorus, and then the main stanza in one song was by Sujata and in the other song by Sukhwinder. Having a mukhda entirely by chorus is not really a popular thinggy in bolly music, especially when three lovely voices are there in the song. :-) ARR does dare prevalent notions. :-) Now, if you look at the lyrics of the Srinivas' prelude: > Jo Afsaane Dil Ne Buney > Unko Koi Dil Hi Suney > > Hum Haule Haule Pyaar Ki Dhundhli Fizayon Meinaaye > Gehre Gehre Hain Khwaab Ki Neeli Ghatayon Ke Saaye > Hum Tum Dono Khoye Khoye > Sapne Dekhein Jaage Soye > Gumsum Hairaan That is a "meet" song. Both are together. He is addressing his beloved and telling about the environment. They are with each other, they are enjoying the moment, they are even dreaming. So, it was indeed contemplative due to the worrisome deathly background in the film that was heaving high on their mind, but it was no way with any tinge of sadness sense as the yuvvraaj zindagi is. And who can forget the sujata part that was right at the first sex between the duo. > Behti Hain Chingariyaan Jaise Sar Se Paon Tak Nas Nas Mein > Halka Halka Hosh Hai Lekin Kuchh Bhi Nahin Ab Mere Bas Mein > Mere Ang Ang Mein Becheini Bijli > Banke Lehraaye > Ek Meethe Meethe Dard Ka Badal > Tan Man Par Chhaye > Saansein Uljhein Dhadkein > Lekin Jaane Kaisi Meri Mushkil Hogi Aasaan It was also contemplative as it rightly expresses how a girl might physically feel when making love with her beloved for the first time, yet it is poles apart, eons apart, on the opposite extreme from the yuvvraaj zindagi. And, the sukhwinder part when Aamir comes to know that girl is in love with someone else, and his heart breaks and he turns into a cruel satan out to harm the very person whom he loved. > Arre Kaash Meri In Aankhon Ki Ab Roshni Bujh Jaaye > Maine Dekha Tha Jo Khwaab Vo Mujhko Na Kabhi Yaad Aaye > Aise Barse Gam Ke Teekhey > Toote Dil Ke Sare Sheeshey > Dil Hai Veeraan He is decisively sad to the extent that he wishes that he goes blind after what he has seen. His world has got destroyed. He is reminiscing. That is no way subtle, in the way yuvvraaj zindagi is. So, I would say that both 1947 zindagi and yuvvraaj zindagi both are miles apart, and that is the beauty of either of them. -- One other ARR song that comes to mind is: Taal's nahin saamne. Such a great song, but, while we are trying to pinpoint the exact emotion, in nahin saamne also, the guy is lost in the thoughts of his beloved and enjoying the feeling. He even feels the presence of the beloved right with him. So, that again goes different from yuvvraaj zindagi. -- Rawat > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> If there is a downside of too many releases in a short duration, > that is >> - we jump between albums and songs and don't devote time to enjoy > the >> full beauty of each creation. >> >> I confess that I suffered from the above, and couldn't really enjoy > ADA >> till now, and other songs of other albums also. >> >> Now, that there is a lull till the next release by our man, I am > getting >> time to revisit them. >> >> I chanced to hear Yuvvraaj again, sad that the film is a flop, > though >> everyone is indeed commenting now that ARR's music is marvelous in > this >> and a sure shot plus side of the movie.

[arr] Aamir had come across Sridhar many a times
*He flies to Chennai to attend the funeral of sound engineer H Sridhar, who was part of films like Rangeela, Lagaan, Ghajini. *Aamir Khan has been deeply moved by the sudden death of H. Sridhar, a four-time national award-winning sound engineer. He flew all the way to Chennai to attend the funeral of Sridhar. Sridhar has worked in films like Rangeela, Lagaan and Ghajini. In fact, he has extensively worked with AR Rahman. An industry source says: "As soon as Aamir got the news, he flew to Chennai on Monday night to attend the funeral of Sridhar. Aamir had come across Sridhar many a times while working for films especially in those which have seen A.R. Rahman compose the music like Lagaan, Mangal Pandey and even in Ghajini. He has also worked in Dil Chahta Hai that had Aamir in it. In fact, he was working on Ghajini the night he died. Aamir obviously was disturbed and he decided to be there. Sridhar was only 48 years old and had a special place in Aamir's heart." Rahman has apparently known Sridhar, who was also a talented guitarist, for around 25 years. He has also worked in films like Dil Se, Guru, Water, Provoked, Swades, Satya and Bombay. Sridhar is survived by his wife and two sons – Vinay and Vishal. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1211216 -- regards, Vithur
[arr] A.R. was the most established, amazing producer," M.I.A.
*THE ONE WITH BUZZ M.I.A. and A.R. Rahman's "O . . . Saya." *Early in Danny Boyle's " Slumdog Millionaire," "O . . . Saya" sets the tone, its kinetic rhythms giving way to a more traditional Eastern chant -- a chant that soon becomes digitally enhanced. Random urban noises become part of the music, and electronic effects skitter around the beats. When the vocals from M.I.A. arrive, she sings soft and fast -- the sound of someone on the run, but not wanting to attract too much attention. "A.R. was the most established, amazing producer," M.I.A. says of the collaboration. "He works with 100-people orchestras, and his sound is huge. Then on the other end of the room was me, making music on [a laptop], just playing Danny really gritty, badly recorded MP3s." http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/oscars/la-en-songs3-2008dec03,0,1883293.story -- regards, Vithur

[arr] A Sincere Request to Rahman Sir.
Dear and Respected Rahmanji I have a very serious and sincere request to you, and I am writing this on behalf of my mother, who is also a very ardent admirer of you and your music. It is a known fact that you do your recordings and compositions in the night, and spend a lot of sleepless nights toiling out for bringing out world class music. I have personally observed and heard everyone assosciated with you say so. Pls, Pls take care of your health, and if possible, Pls consider a request to change the schedule of your work to working in days, as working continuosly in the nights take a very heavy toll on one's health and well being. I have personally experienced this in my past. I pray God to give you a very sound health and bless you with Divine Inspirations for giving Divine Music always.. I hope this request turns into a reality. Thank God; Thank ARR. -- regards, Vithur

[arr] Slumdog Music Review - A pulsating score
: The Music of Slumdog Millionaire A pulsating score from A.R. Rahman drives the underdog film, with help from M.I.A. The soundtrack to the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' - N.E.E.T. Movie: Slumdog Millionaire Drake Lelane, Dec 03, 2008 The film Slumdog Millionaire is a frenetic portrait of Mumbai, a gritty fairytale of beating the odds and standing firm in the face of adversity, and propelling it forward is the pulsating score by A.R. Rahman. In the wake of the recent tragedy in Mumbai, the film -- and its soundtrack -- becomes even more visceral than the ebullient depiction of the Indian city. To be honest, I had just started to write something about the soundtrack last week when the news of the terrorist attack came, and I couldn't help wondering if this tragedy would now be linked to the film, for good and for bad. Hearing M.I.A. singing, "Some some some I some I murder, some I some I let go" in the song "Paper Airplanes" while watching the news unfold can steer one's thoughts in the oddest of directions. That song of course has made her a star, and one of the drawbacks of her higher profile is that it has also made her a target. This summer M.I.A. had to release a statement disclaiming accusations that she supports terrorism, a rumored link she's repeatedly had to dispel thanks to both her estranged father's participation in the Sri Lankan terrorist outfit LTTE and her arguable glamorization of their cause. Of course, M.I.A. is no terrorist, she just has a natural fascination with the cause, having grown up with it. (Critic Robert Christgau wrote a great piece on this struggle nearly four years ago, and it holds up especially well.) "Paper Airplanes," of course, got its second life this past summer thanks to being featured in the trailer for Pineapple Express, but it should be pointed out that Slumdog had it first, and that once you see the song used in the film, it will cease to be "that song from that stoner comedy trailer." Director Danny Boyle always had that song in mind for the film, but for the score, he had his sights set on White Stripes' Jack Black. Thankfully, the prospect of Black taking a year off to write music in India was a bit of a pipe dream, and Boyle settled on the "Mozart of Madras," Bollywood legend A.R. Rahman. For those not familiar with Bollywood, A.R. Rahman is like Michael Jackson and John Williams all rolled into one -- king of both pop and score. At only 42, Rahman is the 8th best-selling music artist of all-time, and with a long career still ahead of him he will undoubtably work his way further up the list. Boyle let Rahman loose, asking that he create something with a pulsating rhythm and that he resist sentiment. As Boyle has been retelling it at post-screening Q&A's across the country, "I told him, 'Never put a cello in my film!'" implying his need to keep the film clear of too much melodrama. (This, along with a sort of nostalgic look at growing up in a shantytown, is what makes the film a bit more like its Brazilian doppelgänger, City of God.) The result is an intoxicating mix of old and new India, juxtaposing classic Indian instrumentation with big beats and hip-hop synth sounds (hear "Mausam & Escape"). Early in the film, it's his collaboration with M.I.A., "O Saya," that truly sucks you in, sweeping you into the gritty shantytowns of Mumbai. Rahman also mixes in some popular Bollywood cues, giving the fans of the genre some of extra thrills. The song "Ringa Ringa" that plays as Latika dances is actually a reworking of the popular Bollywood song "Choli ke peeche" from the film Khalnayak (1993). Rahman even utilized the same voice talent, Alka Yagnik and Ila Arun, who sang the original chart-topping version. Meanwhile, for a gangster-related scene Rahman borrows the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy song "Aaj Ki Raat" from the recent Bollywood gangster film Don: The Chase Begins Again (see video of original use). The final song in the film (and on the soundtrack) is "Jai Ho," which, along with the cast's dancing, has the distinction of keeping the audience in their seats through the credits. It's an explosion of joy that the film and audience feel like they've earned, witnessing all that Jamal has triumphed over. Whether or not the film is married to tragedy remains to be seen (it's still playing on less than 50 screens), but the ending goes a long way towards distancing itself in spirit from the evil the city just endured. http://www.film.com/movies/slumdog-millionaire/story/the-music-of-slumdog-millionaire/24756658

Re: [arr] "Slumdog Millionaire" - ar rahman at his best
to be honest jai ho is the last favourite of the album. it's nothing compared to rest of the tracks... especially: o... saya, liquid dance, mausam & escape, millionaire, dream on fire, gangsra blue or even "aaj ki raat (the version at this album is massively improved by ARR)".

To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 7:38 PM Bollywood Music Review: Hit or Sh!t?: 'Ghajini' December 02 2008 15:10 PST Music by: AR Rahman Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi Singers: Suzanne D'Mello, Karthik, Javed Ali, Sonu Nigam, Benny Dayal, Pravin Mani and Shreya Ghoshal The expectations behind Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' are immense! First of all Aamir Khan is a huge name in itself and then you add in ace music man AR Rahman and the expectations hit the roof! In fact, many are claiming it's the biggest soundtrack of the year. After hearing the first snippets of 'Guzarish' which was the first trailer released, my curiosity peaked and I knew if the song was a precursor to the rest of the album, it would no doubt be a winner. So did it live up to my expectations? Read on to find out! 'Guzarish': The teaser track hit the airwaves not too long ago and it's already creating waves. The beautiful track is brilliant and there's not doubt it will be playing in my iPod way beyond the films release. Everything in the track melds beautifully, from Javed Ali's vocals to Rahman's music and Prasoon Joshi's touching lyrics. One listen and you'll be hooked. 'Aye Bachchu': The track is quite different from the romantic 'Guzarish.' Suzanne D'Mello belts out the rock tinged party song. It has an undeniable toe-tapping rhythm with a western beat. It's quite easy to tell this is a Rahman track with hints of his past numbers from 'Chak De! India' and 'Hindustani.' 'Kaise Mujhe': The haunting track's musical composition is impeccable, the beat, the beautiful sitar, slow build up, touching lyrics and Shreya Ghoshal's vocals work magically. One complaint however is, I can't help but think how the track would've sounded had it been sung by Sonu Nigam, or Shaan as opposed to Benny Dayal. It may not have 'hit' written all over it at first listen, but it will resonate with audiences after the release for sure. 'Bekha': From the first note you know you're in for something different. The track isn't something you'd typically hear in a Bollywood soundtrack, with bits of the piano and the unexpected use of the saxophone. You can't help but be reminded by 'Main Aisa Kyun Hoon' from 'Lakshya.' It should be interesting to see how it's pictured, as this is the track that will feature Aamir in 6 different looks. Karthik's vocals are perfectly suited for 'Bekha.' 'Latto': One of the best upbeat tracks off the album. Shreya Ghoshal shows off her versatility with this one, as does Rahman, as it's the only track on the soundtrack that doesn't scream Rahman from first listen. The fun carefree track will have you bobbing your head. The soundtrack to 'Ghajini' has chartbuster written all over it! The winning combo of Aamir and Rahman does not disappoint! There's no doubt we'll be hearing the songs well into 2009. My picks: 'Guzarish,' 'Bekha' and 'Latto' Rating: 4 out of 5http://www.desihits .com/blog/ article/bollywoo d-music-review- hit-or-sht- ghajini-20081202 / -- regards, Vithur
Re: [arr] Behka Singer
i couldnt agree with you more.. the overall mood of the song matches "mangta hain kya" from Rangeela. In fact "Aye Bacchu" reminds me of the song "If you wanna come along" .
