[arr] Story behind Delhi6 title song shoot
From Rakyesh Mehra's Delhi6 blog http://delhi6blog.com/ Dilli 6 January 15th, 2009 This is the title song of the film. It was one of the most interesting songs to shoot as we had to let Abhishek and Sonam loose on the streets of old Delhi and yes they could not be in disguise. Lots of innovative ways were thought of. Lots of brainstorming. Lots of security in plain clothes dressed as local Delhi people were put on the street. None of that worked because once Abhishek and Sonam stepped out of the car crowds of thousands would gather. The shot I was looking for was Sonam walking a street and Abhishek jogging through the same street as any other ordinary person. Thrice the shoot failed. None of us gave up and we were fourth time lucky. r

[arr] Qalandar gives a very intelligent review of Delhi 6
http://qalandari.blogspot.com/2009/01/music-review-delhi-6-hindi-2009.html Music Review: DELHI-6 (Hindi; 2009) Perhaps it is only appropriate that I begin my review of an album that seems to channel just about every significant Hindi musical genre from the film industry's (now mostly dead) past, with the track featuring the central figure in Hindi filmdom: Noor is a fifty-second declamation by Amitabh Bachchan, preaching a neo-Sufi message of loving God by loving those around us. It would be a mistake to approach this track as simply an opportunity to listen to Bachchan's legendary voice in action; rather, the man is an actor, and this track only makes sense in the context of the role he is playing -- evidently that of a genial, old-world figure whose ideas seem at once high minded and noble, but perhaps also a tad quaint. Bachchan acts wonderfully here (aided by Prasoon Joshi's lyrics, of course), etching all this in under a minute in a manner worthy of a radio play. But the very existence of this track itself took me down memory lane -- back to a time when film soundtracks often featured dialogs from the film as well (and certainly, the likes of Sanjeev Kumar, Pran, and of course Bachchan, had voices crying out to be heard). Joshi isn't kidding when he has a lyric in one of this album's other tracks say ye sheher nahin mehfil hai -- for Mehra, and thus Rahman and Joshi, seems to be paying tribute not just to a place, but to a state of mind, perhaps even a way of being. Aarti (Tumre Bhavan Mein) is a reminder, if any were needed, that Rahman is perhaps the last composer in the Hindi film industry who produces anything like a devotional song. Hindi cinema's rather rich tradition of qawwalis and filmi bhajans has dwindled almost to one, which makes one treasure every such offering from Rahman like a jewel (it certainly is far rarer than the bling bling that dominates so many Hindi film music videos these days). And this Aarti is indeed gem-like in its perfection, its ability to invoke beauty with great economy, and its delicate size (at just about three minutes). Yet, like the equally perfect Alai Payuthey from the film of the same name, its pleasures are not cold ones: the quavering, neo-Carnatic-style vocals Rahman has Rekha Bharadwaj, Kishori Gowariker, Shraddha Pandit, and Sujata Majumdar employ here, combined with the sharp throb they manage to compress into the word ambAA, ensures that this track tugs at the heartsrings. Indeed, the contrast between the intimacy of the vocals and the traditional-yet-impersonal instrumental backdrop, illustrates the loneliness of the endeavor: organized religion might not be understandable except as a communitarian program; but devotion is a solitary enterprise. It is clearly this solitude, and its fragility, that interests Rahman in this delicate, oddly forlorn song. In an era when perhaps nothing is so endangered by the re-casting of religion as a political project above all else, as the space of a personal religiosity that seeks the freedom to duck the political projects of the day, perhaps the song's sad tone isn't odd at all. But Rahman's own attachment to the quiet devotional song, and his many contributions to that tradition, are also grounds for optimism. The tradition won't die out if Rahman can help it, and little numbers like the Aarti here might yet prove indestructible: the maestro may cast himself in the role of supplicant in these songs, but one would do well to remember that Lord Shiva too wandered in rags. Bhor Bhaye is another sensational bit of traditional wizardry, but as unlike the Aarti as any two tracks could be: this semi-classical number appears to sample the voice of the late Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan with the very contemporary Shreya Goshal. My amateur ear was blown away by Goshal serving as a foil to the legend of Hindustani classical music; coming just a few months after her wanton turn in Ghajini's Lattoo, this track confirms that Goshal possesses versatility and range her contemporaries do not. And her voice appears to be getting better with age, every year losing more of the generic sweetness that marred her early work. The master of ceremonies is of course Rahman, who manages to pay tribute to both the classical as well as the popular traditions by deftly integrating Goshal's into this dense pattern of tabla and other traditional instruments, and the Ustad's voice. This synthesis is key to any appreciation of even Rahman's traditional music -- he has always been a renewer, not a disciple; promiscuous, not monkish in his musical proclivities. Genda Phool is the third stop in Rahman's tour of traditional musical forms that seem to be dying out in Hindi film music: if the two songs above represented Carnatic and Hindustani classical idioms, respectively, Genda Phool (credited to both Rahman and Rajat Dholakia) is squarely in the tradition of North Indian folk/wedding songs. This isn't a first for Rahman, who seemed to hew quite
Re: [arr] ARR's Sindhu Bhairavis
Yes, I forgot about that. Even that is a Sindhu Bhairavi. And that reminds me, for that matter even the title song from Rang De Basanti, sung by Daler Mehendi is based on Sindhu Bhairavi. (Neednt be surprised, because most Punjabi folk tunes are based on that raaga, in my opinion, that raaga flows a lot in Punjab).

[arr] Re: [RM] Rahman Sir is a great treasure for Tamilians - Actor Sathyaraj
Vithur, How rightly Sathyaraj has said! The son of Tamilnadu, the pride of India. Extremely proud of Rahman. He has conquered the world scene, starting from Chennai. From Roja to Slumdog Millionaire, you have gone a great distance, but as you recently sang, 'Neengal' Enga Veetu Pillai:-) We are SO proud. Thamizha Thamizha Naalai Nam Naalae... (Roja) Rahman, you have brought justice to the lines you tuned music for 16 years ago... God BLESS! You are an inspiration, God bless your aspirations. Vithur, please give link to all your mp3 files.

When I was on my way for shooting, there were talks that a new Music Director had arrived in the scene for Maniratnam's new movie. There was a studio in Vahini, and on my way, I was listening to the songs of Roja. I was listening to Chinna Chinna aasai, and found the tune, the sound to be very different. I had faith that Maniratnam had found the right person for his music. When I arrived in the shooting spot, Heroine Banupriya was humming the tune of the songs from Roja. She was singing Chinna Chinna aasai from 9 Am to 6 PM on that day. Once the film got released, seeing the songs on the screen, I was stunned beyond words. Those were times, when Illayaraja was the monarch and his songs were heard everywhere. Its so tough for a newcomer to make a name for himself in that space. Just as Machana Paartheengala from annakili was a new sound for Illayaraja, when MSV was previously reigning supreme at that moment. Then, as every Hero would have a desire to act in the music of a great Music Director, I also had the desire. The song Senthamiz Naatu Tamiachaye became very famous. Hearing the song Chitirai Nilavu , the full team consisting of Dance Master Babu, Producer Mani, Director Manoj Kumar were puzzled, as to how to picturise the song. The senthamizh song suppressed the greatness of this song. That is Rahman Sir 's success. Q :- Apart from Vandhicholai chinnarasu songs, what are the other songs of Rahman which you like ? Nowadays, we see Tamilians live across the globe, and it is the greatness of Rahman Sir, to highlight the importance of Tamil across the globe and make Tamilians proud. Music paves an important role in even change of Government. Music was a major reason for MGR to become a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. In the same way, Music is an important role in uniting Tamilians across the Globe. Nowadays, its the Youth who tend to forget Tamil. and in that matter, Rahman Sir's songs create an important effect in arousing the desire of the youth towards Tamil. All songs of his are excellent songs. He is a great treasure for Tamilians. And the speciality of him is that he has started doing Re recording for Hollywood Films, Hindi Films etc. Its a great privilege for any Tamilian, as tomorrow, when he would win the Oscars, it would get a lot of fame for the Tamil Fraternity itself. IT would be written that he started his career with Roja ( which is a Tamil movie ) -- regards, Vithur

[arr] lyrics of Delhi 6 songs
http://passionforcinema.com/delhi-6-music-romance-rahman-gali-muhalla/ Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman Gali-Muhalla This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that makes the head go all grrr grrr. Just kidding. Why should I complain? Rahman ji is big suddenly. People I never thought would give bhaav to anything remotely familiar now stop in their tracks and enquire about a random ‘Jai Ho’ song from a random ‘Indian-Hollywood’ film. So ya, that is where we start. I was listening to some old Rahman favourites (personal) off late – Tehzeeb, Kabhi na Kabhi, Ada(yes its old only), and was wondering when did this Janta ki pehli pasand transition happened. May be I was too busy asking everyone to check out Water’s soundtrack out too. So what it didn’t win the Academy. Tu cheez badi hai mast mast/Tirchhi topiwaale/Jumma chumma de de/Choli ke peechhey didn’t win it either. Anyways why should I crib? Awards and recognition are always good, for those who win them and for those who don’t, for they aspire to do so some time in their lives, Aamir Khan included. Delhi 6 is gonna be lapped up by one and all, it has poetry, groove, jazz, hiphop, pop, bhajan, qawwali, muhalle-ki-ladki-pataao number, and even a dadaji ke zamaane ka classical gaana. What else you could possibly want? Prasoon ji also is back here in full form, I guess his rich work in these songs will go places, I mean you can always point flaws like the words don’t match up, but I feel he has done rather well in going with the sounds of the typical Rahman structures and song-points, you would find them aplenty in Maula, Dil Gira, Massakkali Delhi 6. It is not great poetry but it is somewhere between a good sounding song and some good ethnic word usage. Obviosly the flaws also exist where some better phrases are held privy to the heavy sounds(like in Kaala Bandar and Rehna tu), Kaala Bandar specifically stands out as the only track which does not impress much, I felt it was quite not upto the greatness of the other songs. As for the proverbial question of ‘where did you hear the songs?’, all have to say is(to borrow a phrase from Dabba), Shut up or put up, and this is for the music giant T-Series. I mean come on dudes! What the hell are you thinking? You will put a Rahman and a RDB team and wait for the janta for eternity to pick the delayed CD off the shelves? Sorry buddies. Yes, I have downloaded the music like a million others who can’t stay convinced waiting for a delayed release. Because, no you don’t deserve a reason. ‘Rahman’ is all I would say. If you want more reasons, let me also say ‘OLLO’, ‘Dev D’ and ‘Slumdog Millionnaire’. Ladaai jhagdaa apart, let’s get to the point. MASAKKALI Masakkalli set the tone for this film and its music, what to expect and what not to. The visuals can’t be separated from the effortless synth(I forgot what’s the instrument called, I guess Rahman used it in Ae hairatein from Guru as well, in fact if you isolate the mood and setting, the style is very similar to that song, the tune sets the mood, and the male vocals pick it up from there). Mohit Chauhan. Who would expect this from him? He sounds like Sukhwinder, the same rustic charm that holds you and doesn’t let you go. Aye masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali, Aye masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali. Aye masakali masa masakali, ud matakkali matakali, Masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali. Zara pankh jhatak, gayi dhool atak aur lachak machak ke door bhatak. Ude dagar dagar kasbe koochey nukkad basti mein (Yai yai), E tadi se mud, ada se ud karle poori dil ki tammannaa, Hawa se jhud, ada se ud, phur phur phur tu hai heera panna re. Masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali. Masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali. Minimum rhythm, the focus is the vocals and the expression of Mohit’s voice. Here is an unexplored voice, last heard in somber tracks like Dooba dooba, Boondein, Khoon chala, and that Jab we whatever track. And here he comes across as pleasantly brash, manmaani, naadaani. Ghar tera saloni, badal ki colony, Dikhlade thenga in sabko jo udna na jaane. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badhiyo, na mudiyon kar nadaani. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badhiyo, na mudiyon kar nadaani. Gataan le, muskaan le, keh sanana nanana nana hawa, Bas thaanle, tu jaanle, keh sanana nanana nanan hawa. Aye masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali…. Tujhe kya gum, tera rishta gafan ki baansuri se hai, Pawan ki guftagu se hain, suraj ki roshni se hai. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badihyo, na mudiyo kar naadaani. MAULA What do I say, Rahman has

[arr] Re: I am dumbfounded
Very true. Some divine power which enables him to create magical pieces. Delhi 6 is definitely a path breaking album. Like RDB, each song is unique in its own way... soundtrack will go a long way. I am amazed how Rahman handles this pressure of delivering each time.

Rahman is no God to me, but he has a very strong access to a divine source when he composes. That and along with his hard work, genius intelligence, dedication, positive spirit, humility and sincerity have allowed him to create music that is simply so spectacular. It's the only explanation I have at how this man just keeps evolving and creating music that bowls us over even after 16 years in the film industry. Just WOW!

While small films made big bucks most of the big budget giants crashed at the box office. So did the eight-year-old saas-bahu saga, giving way to fresh young faces and brighter ideas. But some stars shone brighter than the others and got nominated for our Indian of the Year. *Aamir Khan:* 2008 kicked off with Aamir receiving accolades for his directorial debut *Taare Zameen Par*, which soon joined the race for the Oscars. But Aamir made another killing at the box office with *Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na* - this time as producer! And then Aamir the actor flexed his muscles and eight-pack abs to give Bollywood it's biggest money spinner * Ghajini*. *Akshay Kumar:* The *khiladi* has played it right once again. Akshay Kumar debuted on the small screen with his reality show *Khatron ke Khiladi*. Even as he retained his hold over the silver screen with *Singh Is Kinng* that registered record box-office opening collections. With news of a 70-crore one film deal in the pipeline, it looks like this * khiladi* will play on. *A R Rahman:* The Maestro from Madras gave us many more chart toppers in 2008 including soundtracks from *Jodhaa Akbar*, *Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na*and *Ghajini*. And before the year ended, the music composer picked up a Golden Globe nomination for his score in Danny Boyle's *Slumdog Millionaire*. *Avika Gaur:* This newly-coronated queen of the small screen - is just 11 years old, but she has ended the decade old monopoly of Saas-Bahu serials. Avika Gaur as Anandi in *Balika Vadhu* has rewritten the rules of prime time television and how. *Katrina Kaif:* Hits like *Race* and *Singh is Kinng* ensured that Katrina's streak of success in Bollywood continued. Katrina went on to add many more endorsements to her kitty and reigned as the uncrowned queen of Bollywood this year after being judged the most searched celebrity on Google. *Lalit Modi:* This man transformed Indian cricket into one of the biggest entertainers of the year. The Indian Premier League, the multi-million-dollar, franchise-based domestic league, conceived and executed by Lalit Modi successfully drew industrialists, business tycoons and film personalities.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/01/16/trivia-salim-maliks-ringtone-from-slumdog-millionaire-plus-slumdog-soundtrack-on-sale-today-for-5/ there is no stopping our man! I have never seen anyone going crazy about a ringtone in a movie before! [The following post contains minor spoilers for Slumdog Millionaire] When I watch movies and television shows, I'm almost always drawn to their soundtracks, especially when I feel they enhance the film. But for some reason, more than just the songs that play underneath the dialogue catch my attention; I also find myself obsessed with the little tiny bits of music that you would never find on a film soundtrack. In general, these obsessions lead to a certain degree of insanity, as the music often can't be tracked down, and when it finally is, it usually can't be purchased. One such piece of music played about 2/3rds of the way through Slumdog Millionaire. In the following clip, Salim Malik gets a phone call from his boss: For reasons passing understanding, I needed to know what that ringtone was (especially because that phone and that ringtone specifically return later on in the film). So the other day, I sent out a Twitter request to see if anybody knew what it was. To my pleasant surprise, I got replies from several different people, explaining that the song was from the Indian film Swades. Swades is a 2004 film written, produced, and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and starring Shahrukh Khan. The film follows the epic journey of Mohan Ghargava, a NASA scientist, who returns to India to help his childhood nanny move to the U.S. However, the more he learns about the village that she lives in, the more it changes him and his attitudes towards his home country. The film won a hefty number of awards and is critically well-regarded; BBC Shropshire claimed it was one of the best films of the year and Slashfilm podcast listener, John, wrote in to say that This is seriously one of the best movies I have ever seen, Hollywood or Bollywood, and like Slumdog Millionaire, it is set in the backdrop of eye-opening visuals of the `real' India, with an extremely, extremely uplifting message. Originally I had rented this film from Netflix to watch it in preparation for writing this article, but the film's 3.5 hour runtime was too daunting for me this week. I still plan on watching it, but it will take awhile. In the meantime, have any of you seen Swades? If so, let me know what you thought in the comments. Here's a clip from the soundtrack of Swades composed by A.R. Rahman, who also did the Slumdog soundtrack. I guess he put his own Swades theme as the ringtone in Slumdog as an in-joke/reference: I know a lot of you were on the edge of your seat about this question, so now you can be at peace with this knowledge (plus, you can also use Salim Malik's ringtone as your own, if you want!). For the rest of you who don't care about any of that, you should probably be aware that Amazon MP3 has as one of their Friday deals the now-Golden-Globe-award-winning Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack on sale for the insane price of $5 (go here for my mini-review). If you liked any of the music you heard during the movie, I can pretty much guarantee that this is worth the purchase, especially for $5. I'm pretty sure the sale only lasts through the end of today, so don't miss your chance. Thanks to all the readers who sent this in! You can reach David Chen at Davechensemail(at)gmail.com, where you can send in esoteric requests and cool finds for obscure soundtrack knowledge. You can also follow him on Twitter or on Tumblr.

[arr] Delhi 6 music review [Passion of cinema]
Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman Gali-Muhalla This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that makes the head go all grrr grrr. Just kidding. Why should I complain? Rahman ji is big suddenly. People I never thought would give bhaav to anything remotely familiar now stop in their tracks and enquire about a random ‘Jai Ho’ song from a random ‘Indian-Hollywood’ film. So ya, that is where we start. I was listening to some old Rahman favourites (personal) off late – Tehzeeb, Kabhi na Kabhi, Ada(yes its old only), and was wondering when did this Janta ki pehli pasand transition happened. May be I was too busy asking everyone to check out Water’s soundtrack out too. So what it didn’t win the Academy. Tu cheez badi hai mast mast/Tirchhi topiwaale/Jumma chumma de de/Choli ke peechhey didn’t win it either. Anyways why should I crib? Awards and recognition are always good, for those who win them and for those who don’t, for they aspire to do so some time in their lives, Aamir Khan included. Delhi 6 is gonna be lapped up by one and all, it has poetry, groove, jazz, hiphop, pop, bhajan, qawwali, muhalle-ki-ladki-pataao number, and even a dadaji ke zamaane ka classical gaana. What else you could possibly want? Prasoon ji also is back here in full form, I guess his rich work in these songs will go places, I mean you can always point flaws like the words don’t match up, but I feel he has done rather well in going with the sounds of the typical Rahman structures and song-points, you would find them aplenty in Maula, Dil Gira, Massakkali Delhi 6. It is not great poetry but it is somewhere between a good sounding song and some good ethnic word usage. Obviosly the flaws also exist where some better phrases are held privy to the heavy sounds(like in Kaala Bandar and Rehna tu), Kaala Bandar specifically stands out as the only track which does not impress much, I felt it was quite not upto the greatness of the other songs. As for the proverbial question of ‘where did you hear the songs?’, all have to say is(to borrow a phrase from Dabba), Shut up or put up, and this is for the music giant T-Series. I mean come on dudes! What the hell are you thinking? You will put a Rahman and a RDB team and wait for the janta for eternity to pick the delayed CD off the shelves? Sorry buddies. Yes, I have downloaded the music like a million others who can’t stay convinced waiting for a delayed release. Because, no you don’t deserve a reason. ‘Rahman’ is all I would say. If you want more reasons, let me also say ‘OLLO’, ‘Dev D’ and ‘Slumdog Millionnaire’. Ladaai jhagdaa apart, let’s get to the point. MASAKKALI Masakkalli set the tone for this film and its music, what to expect and what not to. The visuals can’t be separated from the effortless synth(I forgot what’s the instrument called, I guess Rahman used it in Ae hairatein from Guru as well, in fact if you isolate the mood and setting, the style is very similar to that song, the tune sets the mood, and the male vocals pick it up from there). Mohit Chauhan. Who would expect this from him? He sounds like Sukhwinder, the same rustic charm that holds you and doesn’t let you go. Aye masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali, Aye masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali. Aye masakali masa masakali, ud matakkali matakali, Masakali masakali, ud matakkali matakkali. Zara pankh jhatak, gayi dhool atak aur lachak machak ke door bhatak. Ude dagar dagar kasbe koochey nukkad basti mein (Yai yai), E tadi se mud, ada se ud karle poori dil ki tammannaa, Hawa se jhud, ada se ud, phur phur phur tu hai heera panna re. Masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali. Masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali. Minimum rhythm, the focus is the vocals and the expression of Mohit’s voice. Here is an unexplored voice, last heard in somber tracks like Dooba dooba, Boondein, Khoon chala, and that Jab we whatever track. And here he comes across as pleasantly brash, manmaani, naadaani. Ghar tera saloni, badal ki colony, Dikhlade thenga in sabko jo udna na jaane. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badhiyo, na mudiyon kar nadaani. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badhiyo, na mudiyon kar nadaani. Gataan le, muskaan le, keh sanana nanana nana hawa, Bas thaanle, tu jaanle, keh sanana nanana nanan hawa. Aye masakali masakali, ud matakali matakali…. Tujhe kya gum, tera rishta gafan ki baansuri se hai, Pawan ki guftagu se hain, suraj ki roshni se hai. Udiyo, na dariyo, kar manmaani manmaani man maani, Badihyo, na mudiyo kar naadaani. MAULA What do I say, Rahman has mastered all genres now, qawwali being the frontrunner, this one has its own

[arr] Desire-ARR-Sharath-Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty to go bald for Sarath Saturday, January 17, 2009, 12:14 [IST] Journalist-turned-National award winning Malayalam director R. Sarath (who made Sayahnam (2000), which won several awards including the Indira Gandhi National Award and Kerala State Film Award for the Best film in 2000) is all set to direct The Desire (English), starring Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in a most challenging role. The shooting of this prestigious Indo-Chinese joint venture will start this week in Kerala. If reports are to be believed, Shilpa Shetty will shave off her hair for a part of this film, being co-produced by Sharad Hegde and Tracy Shiyun. I can't reveal everything about my role. If I tell you everything now, why would you watch the film? But yes, this is by far the most challenging role of my career. It takes me through ten turbulent years of my character's life. It's a very intense love story between me and my Chinese co-star, Xia Yu, she said, according to a website. R. Sarath, who is working with Shilpa for the first time, said The Desire is essentially a passionate film dealing with dance, music, art, culture and emotions. It revolves around Goutami (Shilpa), an accomplished Odissi dancer and a talented artist Jai Leang (Xia Yu), following the journey of their lives until they are separated and brought together again by destiny. Other actors in the film are Jayaprada, Anupam Kher, Sachin Khedekar, Sheetal Menon and Nakul Vaid. Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman will score music. Expected to grace theatres in December 2009, The Desire will be dubbed in Chinese as well. http://entertainment.oneindia.in/malayalam/top-stories/2009/the-desire-shilpa-shetty-hair-170109.html - Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

I would rather slip back to my room, watch a movie and go to sleep. • How has the Golden Globe changed your life? Everyone from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Danny Elfman, Craig Armstrong (who worked with me on Elizabeth: The Golden Age) got in touch with me to congratulate my win - that spoke volumes. Besides that, I am feeling liberated as a musician - I feel that now I can have a lot more freedom beyond film music. Now I can do my own thing. Hip-hop artiste Akon wants me to write something for him and do a music video with him. But I just want to compose or write, not be seen in his video. • Did you see a discernible change in the way people looked at your music? Yes. I remember when Roja happened there was a genuine smile on people's faces. I sensed a déjà vu with SM. Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, (the musician) Sting… they all said they loved the film and music. And they meant it. It was a great change for them. Change is always welcome. • Why was there so much secrecy while you were working on the score for Slumdog Millionaire? I was working with Danny Boyle for the first time. I wasn't sure I wanted to work with him. I wasn't sure of the sound. When two new people work with each other, the output can go either way. Fortunately, it worked. The main composition and mixing was done in 20 days. I had no choice but to work fast. When you are doing something new, it is much easier to speedup the process. It is when you are asked to bring in a variation in the same format that you need more time. • Would you say SM is the most successful Indian music score outside India? It is not an Indian score, because it is not an Indian film. But it certainly doesn't sell Indian poverty to the West. I know a lot of people are saying that. But I don't agree. If I would have thought so for even a second, I wouldn't have been able to do justice to the music. There are so many films that I have refused because I objected to them on ethical, moral or some other ground. I am so finicky about these things. As I see it, SM clearly says India is developing fast and is no longer a third-world country. And why should we hide our darker side? The world is no more about the haves and have-nots. It's a global community. We need to know about one another. In fact, the A R Rahman Foundation is working towards eradicating poverty. And we need global co-operation for that. • Has SM contributed to your Foundation? I think the very fact that it has made my way into the West and Hollywood easier, is contribution enough. The film has generated a lot of interest in my music and Hindi music. • What work is pending back home? I have to attend to the background music of Delhi 6 immediately. And then there's Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Raashee?. • What about the Oscars? Until I get nominated I have no plans regarding the Oscars.

earlier this week.
This brings up its tally of awards and nominations to a mindblowing 120!
Good going Danny. Khelte raho!
Slumdog has been nominated for the best film, outstanding British film, best
director (Danny Boyle), music (AR Rahman), adapted screenplay (Simon
Beaufoy), leading actor (Dev Patel), supporting actress (Freida Pinto),
cinematography (Anthony Dod Mantle), editing (Chris Dickens), production

And just two weeks after the BAFTAs (February 8) will be the Oscars night.
And Rahman could well bring home both the trophies!
But while that remains to be seen, Hollywood star Will Smith, who has for
long been looking for an opportunity to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
has hinted that he could make a

had visited him twice while he was

With Boyle saying that he wants to return to Mumbai to make another film,
and with Smith saying, I'd love to do a thriller there (India) next – the
energy is extraordinary, it looks like we're headed for some exciting times
ahead!

Re: [arr] Indiafm reviews Delhi-6
Wow!!! Nice to see good reviews pouring in...Pure Magic! Here's the review: EXPECTATIONS A.R. Rahman is in a peculiar state today. Whatever he churns out, especially when a film is as big as Delhi 6, is expected to be huge now, especially after a powerful trail that he has left behind in 2008. Add to that a rocking beginning to the year with Slumdog Millionaire and it has to be a very bad frame of mind for Rahman to churn anything less superior. No wonder, Delhi 6 comes with expectations of the highest order, especially with names like Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, UTV, Prasoon Joshi, Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor attached to it. MUSIC Why such excitement about the soundtrack of Delhi 6? Well, one hearing of 'Masakali' and you know that this would be a song remembered for months to come. An instant chartbuster from the word 'Go', it has a characteristic Rahman flavor to it and sounds a unique and extremely fresh piece of music. The orchestra is kept at bare minimum and still makes a huge impact in bringing on a recollection value. Write your own music review of Delhi-6 Reminding of 'Pia Haji Ali' and 'Khwaja Mere Khwaja', 'Arziyan', as required by the genre, has tabla and harmonium taking it through its 9 minute long duration. The impact of this devotional track with a haunting sound is such that after a couple of minutes, a listener completely surrenders by loosing himself in the ambience created by it. Well, if one thought that Delhi 6 was more inclined towards rustic music then watch out for the title song that comes next. 'Delhi 6' is what 'Paathshala' and 'Khalbali Hai Khalbali' were to Rang De Basanti. This is the track that deserves to be placed at number of instances in the film's narrative and if at all a music video is created around it, rest assured the number would be hummed by every campus goer. The beats are simply groovy and don't be surprised if the pubs and lounges, at least in North India, have the number playing on in a few days from now. In fact there is a number that goes as 'Hey Kaala Bandar' and is set in a mode similar to that of Delhi 6 if one has to consider the intrinsic groovy elements that it carries. Most remarkable of the enterprise so far, 'Rehna Tu' is melody at its best with a Western base to it. A kind of number that can be instantly associated with Rahman, it has its strength in the smooth flowing narrative that makes it an ideal candidate to be played on your date with the one you love! And if the date extends for another hour or so, don't forget to play on 'Dil Gira Dafatan' which is just an ideal follow up to 'Rehna Tu' and keeps the romantic tempo on when it comes to melody. In fact there is hardly any instrument that plays in the background, hence making 'Dil Gira Dafatan' even more special! For about 50 seconds, 'Genda Phool' appears to be all rustic and rooted but soon Western arrangements come into picture hence making it a cool fusion number that continues to get on variety for the soundtrack of Delhi 6. Composer Rajat Dholakia comes into picture for this unique number which leaves one wondering that in which situation it would be used. Surprise comes in the form of classical 'Bhor Bhaye' which is based on raaga Gujri Todi followed by an aarti 'Tumre Bhavan Mein', both of which promise to add on to the narrative of Delhi 6 in the background. Essence of love is all over again, though for a mere 50 seconds, as Amitabh Bachchan runs his commentary on 'Noor' that concludes the album. LYRICS Prasoon Joshi certainly likes to write something that has never been heard before. When he plays it all around to mix and match with words that could either be totally poetic or straight out of day to day conversations, songs like 'Masakali' are made. He gets devotional with 'Arziyan' and 'Aarti (Tumre Bhavan Mein)' with the classical 'Bhor Bhaye' and folk based 'Genda Phool' showing an altogether different facet of his writing. Prasoon returns with the love songs 'Rehna Tu' and 'Dil Gira Dafatan' and gives Rahman quite a lot to experiment around. On the other hand, he would have certainly given Rahman a tough time to compose lyrics that go as 'Hey Kaala Bandar'. Viviane Claire are the guest lyricists for the title song 'Delhi 6' where they bring in the flavor of Delhites. This one is an ultra cool and modern number where lyricists cleverly mix words written in both English and Hindi. VOCALS Mohit Chauhan gets to sing on a completely different pitch, something that he hasn't been known for much after a slew of mushy romantic numbers that he has sung so far. He is terrific with 'Masakali' that would add on to his ever increasing repertoire. Javed Ali opens 'Arziyan' and Kailash Kher joins him later to create a mesmerizing impact that makes the number a heartfelt experience. Blaaze, Benny, Viviane, Tanvi and Claire would have certainly had fun while coming together for Delhi 6 which is the first 'cool' number to make an appearance in the soundtrack. Another

Sarath (who made Sayahnam (2000), which won several awards including the Indira Gandhi National Award and Kerala State Film Award for the Best film in 2000) is all set to direct The Desire (English), starring Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in a most challenging role. The shooting of this prestigious Indo-Chinese joint venture will start this week in Kerala. If reports are to be believed, Shilpa Shetty will shave off her hair for a part of this film, being co-produced by Sharad Hegde and Tracy Shiyun. I can't reveal everything about my role. If I tell you everything now, why would you watch the film? But yes, this is by far the most challenging role of my career. It takes me through ten turbulent years of my character's life. It's a very intense love story between me and my Chinese co-star, Xia Yu, she said, according to a website. R. Sarath, who is working with Shilpa for the first time, said The Desire is essentially a passionate film dealing with dance, music, art, culture and emotions. It revolves around Goutami (Shilpa), an accomplished Odissi dancer and a talented artist Jai Leang (Xia Yu), following the journey of their lives until they are separated and brought together again by destiny. Other actors in the film are Jayaprada, Anupam Kher, Sachin Khedekar, Sheetal Menon and Nakul Vaid. Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman will score music.

[arr] THE CHOSEN ONE
http://www.desipundit.com/baradwajrangan/2009/01/17/the-chosen-one/ THE CHOSEN ONE It wasnt mere lip service that AR Rahman was paying to the almighty after winning the Golden Globe. It was a heartfelt acknowledgement of a guiding force thats shaped his miraculous career. JAN 18, 2009 - UNBELIEVABLE, HE SAID, AFTER HIS NAME WAS ANNOUNCED, after he sprinted onto the stage and fished around in his pocket for the piece of paper containing his acceptance speech. That was the exact word in my mind. Unbelievable! We knew our cinema was going around the globe, but who would have dreamt that one of its shining ambassadors would go to the Golden Globes. AR Rahmans subsequent words, too, appeared to have been lifted from my head. I thought I wont win, so anyways he declared, to much laughter from the audience, and I knew what he meant for even if he deserved to win, would voting vagaries and political considerations take their toll on a relatively unknown musician from a land far, far away from Hollywood? Thankfully they didnt and it was one of those moments were going to play in our minds over and over. Thank you Rahman, for winning, for putting a face to the great tradition of Indian film music. Thank you Rahman, for acknowledging, on that resplendent platform in Beverly Hills, all your musicians in Chennai and Mumbai, those nameless faces that untiringly translate the ideas in a composers head into concrete musical form. Thank you, Rahman, for that shout out to the billion people from India, for raising a toast to the brown face amidst that sea of white. Thanks for all your prayers, he concluded, with characteristic humility, as if it were simply our outpourings of faith that propelled him to his win, and not his dazzling talents. But the most touching aspect of Rahmans acceptance speech was surely when he acknowledged, Thanks to the almighty God for bringing me here. On one level, this is entirely expected, for Rahmans faith in the divine is no secret. But even otherwise, this invocation of God (or destiny or providence or fate or however you wish to name the mysterious forces that shape our lives) is entirely appropriate for Rahman has been fortunes favoured child in ways that no Indian film music composer before him has been. A look at his miraculous career appears to indicate that it may not be simple coincidence that he has always been guided to the right place, and always at the right time. When Mani Ratnam, the most visible and influential face of Tamil cinema, was shopping for a new music director, Rahman found himself there. Roja was a spectacular musical success, not only in Tamil but also Hindi. The fresh strains of music that emanated from Rahman were, it seemed, just what a jaded nation wanted even if it appeared, for a while, that dubbed versions of his Tamil hits were all that would sneak through to the north of the Vindhyas. And then Rahman found himself the chosen one again, when Ram Gopal Varma made Rangeela, and he got himself a smash of a Hindi soundtrack and beginning then, no composer before Rahman has bridged the tastes and the terrains of the North and the South so spectacularly. And the reach of Rahmans sound just kept expanding first from South to North, and then from India to the world. When Dil Se became the first Indian film to break into the UK Top Ten, at the box office, Rahman found himself, again, at the right place, at the right time. On the strength of Chhaiya chhaiya, Andrew Lloyd Webber beckoned, the Londons West End beckoned. And thus, with his global sound, Rahman became the global face of Indian film music, the way Aishwarya Rai is the global face of Indian cinema the one name that springs to the lips of people outside the country when they refer to the curiously fascinating world of Bollywood. But more than anything else, Rahman has been extraordinarily blessed to arrive as a musician at a time the world has shrunk beyond recognition. The great composers before him were, at best, cherished and celebrated within their states or perhaps, if they worked in the Hindi film industry, within the country. But today, thanks to the Internet and a gaggle of news channels traversing the breadth of the nation in search of stories can you imagine a Tamil masala movie named Sivaji, starring a Tamil hero named Rajinikanth, becoming a nationwide sensation even ten years ago? the world is clued into what is happening at our doorstep, and when we raised a toast to Rahman, its was always only a matter of time before the world did too. And Rahman continues to be at the right place (Bollywood) at the right time (the present day). He still dignifies the odd project in Tamil or Telugu, but a significant portion of his energies are channelled towards gilding the visions of Bollywood filmmakers who are ambitious, who understand the value Rahman brings to their films, and who do not mind giving him

Well written article! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@... wrote: http://www.desipundit.com/baradwajrangan/2009/01/17/the-chosen-one/ THE CHOSEN ONE It wasn't mere lip service that AR Rahman was paying to the almighty after winning the Golden Globe. It was a heartfelt acknowledgement of a guiding force that's shaped his miraculous career. JAN 18, 2009 - UNBELIEVABLE, HE SAID, AFTER HIS NAME WAS ANNOUNCED, after he sprinted onto the stage and fished around in his pocket for the piece of paper containing his acceptance speech. That was the exact word in my mind. Unbelievable! We knew our cinema was going around the globe, but who would have dreamt that one of its shining ambassadors would go to the Golden Globes. AR Rahman's subsequent words, too, appeared to have been lifted from my head. I thought I won't win, so anyways he declared, to much laughter from the audience, and I knew what he meant for even if he deserved to win, would voting vagaries and political considerations take their toll on a relatively unknown musician from a land far, far away from Hollywood? Thankfully they didn't and it was one of those moments we're going to play in our minds over and over. Thank you Rahman, for winning, for putting a face to the great tradition of Indian film music. Thank you Rahman, for acknowledging, on that resplendent platform in Beverly Hills, all your musicians in Chennai and Mumbai, those nameless faces that untiringly translate the ideas in a composer's head into concrete musical form. Thank you, Rahman, for that shout out to the billion people from India, for raising a toast to the brown face amidst that sea of white. Thanks for all your prayers, he concluded, with characteristic humility, as if it were simply our outpourings of faith that propelled him to his win, and not his dazzling talents. But the most touching aspect of Rahman's acceptance speech was surely when he acknowledged, Thanks to the almighty God for bringing me here. On one level, this is entirely expected, for Rahman's faith in the divine is no secret. But even otherwise, this invocation of God (or destiny or providence or fate or however you wish to name the mysterious forces that shape our lives) is entirely appropriate for Rahman has been fortune's favoured child in ways that no Indian film music composer before him has been. A look at his miraculous career appears to indicate that it may not be simple coincidence that he has always been guided to the right place, and always at the right time. When Mani Ratnam, the most visible and influential face of Tamil cinema, was shopping for a new music director, Rahman found himself there. Roja was a spectacular musical success, not only in Tamil but also Hindi. The fresh strains of music that emanated from Rahman were, it seemed, just what a jaded nation wanted even if it appeared, for a while, that dubbed versions of his Tamil hits were all that would sneak through to the north of the Vindhyas. And then Rahman found himself the chosen one again, when Ram Gopal Varma made Rangeela, and he got himself a smash of a Hindi soundtrack and beginning then, no composer before Rahman has bridged the tastes and the terrains of the North and the South so spectacularly. And the reach of Rahman's sound just kept expanding first from South to North, and then from India to the world. When Dil Se became the first Indian film to break into the UK Top Ten, at the box office, Rahman found himself, again, at the right place, at the right time. On the strength of Chhaiya chhaiya, Andrew Lloyd Webber beckoned, the London's West End beckoned. And thus, with his global sound, Rahman became the global face of Indian film music, the way Aishwarya Rai is the global face of Indian cinema the one name that springs to the lips of people outside the country when they refer to the curiously fascinating world of Bollywood. But more than anything else, Rahman has been extraordinarily blessed to arrive as a musician at a time the world has shrunk beyond recognition. The great composers before him were, at best, cherished and celebrated within their states or perhaps, if they worked in the Hindi film industry, within the country. But today, thanks to the Internet and a gaggle of news channels traversing the breadth of the nation in search of stories can you imagine a Tamil masala movie named Sivaji, starring a Tamil hero named Rajinikanth, becoming a nationwide sensation even ten years ago? the world is clued into what is happening at our doorstep, and when we raised a toast to Rahman, it's was always only a matter of time before the world did too. And Rahman continues to be at the right place (Bollywood) at the right time (the present day). He still dignifies the odd project in Tamil or Telugu, but a significant portion of his energies are channelled

Not doubting that ARR is great in classical. In fact, he is superb and sublime in it. He has revived the use of classical music in films like never before. The only other example of recent time is Kisna's classical song by ID. I am not able to recall any such classical songs in mainstream popular bollywood films by other MDs in recent times.

[arr] A.R. Rahman makes it difficult not to like him - The Hindu
http://www.hindu.com/mag/2009/01/18/stories/2009011850220700.htm *'Just the beginning'* ZIYA US SALAM What the maestro had to say after the news broke. In the finest hour of Indian film music, the Mozart of Madras is smiling. As accolades come in thick and fast, he soaks in the real meaning of becoming the first Indian to win the Golden Globe for the Best Original Score in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire. No loud pronouncements, no yelling out after attaining glory. Just a wave of the hand, and a solemn promise that tomorrow will be better, even if today is better than all yesterdays for the Indian film industry. Really, A.R. Rahman makes it difficult not to like him. He is endearingly simple even at a time when he can afford to brag! But isn't the 'Slumdog Millionaire' the best thing to have happened not just to him but to the country and its film industry? Rahman merely says that it is just the first step. It is just the beginning...I hope that this would happen sooner. I want to do it for my countrymen who all crave for Golden Globe and Oscars. Cautious as ever As all music-lovers celebrate, we seem just a shot away from the much-coveted Academy Awards. After Golden Globe, isn't it realistic to focus on the Oscars? Again Rahman is cautious The score has won six reputed awards already...It is better to keep the hype on Oscars low since it is a very unpredictable! But at least at the Golden Globe night, did he expect the award to come his way considering the film had got rave reviews the world over? I didn't want to feel confident because I would have been dejected if they had not given it for the music. But the award has affirmed my faith that music has no barrier. And pray what does his first Golden Globe read? It is just a trophy. There is nothing on it. Of course, a lot comes with it: pressure of expectations, for instance. Umm. But I am not looking that far ahead. As the 'Slumdog Millionaire' team, including director Danny Boyle besides Indian actors Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Madhur Mittal and Dev Patel prepares for the Oscars, how did the project start for Rahman? Addictive score How did he prepare for the music score; surely it would have been different from say, Roja? The award has actually brought back memories of 'Roja', he admits, adding, I just went by my instincts for 'Slumdog Millionaire'. This is a score that blurs the line between songs and a score. That is one of the reasons it became very addictive to the viewers. He should know. He knew his mind when he dropped out of school after eleventh standard to go to Trinity College of Music. He knew his mind when he played the keyboard for Illaiyaraja. He knew his mind when he decided to cross the barrier of the Vindhyas and give music with equal felicity to Tamil and Hindi

[arr] Good as gold
Good as gold Kaveree Bamzai January 16, 2009 Comment Print Email A A A Share Over the past decade at least two people have made an industry of their Hollywood careers: Shekhar Kapur who can talk anyone to sleep on this subject and Aishwarya Rai who has turned down more roles from Will Smith than she has acted in international movies. So it is apt that a little man who looks like a genial garden gnome and is as ferociously talented as he is unfailingly self-effacing, is enjoying the sort of global acclaim that has eluded so many big talkers and pushy splashers. Allah Rakha Rahman sings his tune Allah Rakha Rahman, a Malayalee Muslim who was born a Hindu and has been playing professionally since the age of 11, fulfils two of the most important criteria for success in my book. One is of doing whatever you do best for at least 10,000 hours in a lifetime, the golden mean that Malcolm Gladwell shows in his new book Outliers is the hallmark of successful people. The other is humility, a lesson the late Randy Pausch says he learnt quite early on his life. In The Last Lecture, he speaks of how he once complained to his mother about a particularly difficult graduate class. We know how you feel, honey, his mother said. When your father was your age, he was fighting the Germans. This is not to suggest that winning a Golden Globe or perhaps an Oscar is anywhere close to winning a war, but there are wonderful things to learn from Rahmans story. Look at the barriers he has broken: first in Bollywood which regards talent from the south with the disdain reserved for the underclass. And then in the rest of the world, which has gone from using his songs in end credits to giving him a movie of his own. Its not been easy. While Rahmans Bombay Dreams did fairly well at the West End, it faltered on Broadway and pretty much the same fate befell the Toronto staging of the Lord of the Rings musical, of which he was co-composer. But he hasnt let it affect his enthusiasm for trying something new. Bollywood, which has immediately claimed Rahman as its own, hasnt always been kind to him. It finds the Mozart from Madras too exacting and demanding. I remember a particularly rueful comment from him at an awards function in Singapore where he acknowledged an award for Lagaan but noted how Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghams soundtrack seemed far more popular. Rahman has also followed a principle that few talented individuals adhere to. Which brings me to the other Pausch lesson: If you want to achieve your dreams, you had better learn to work and play well with others. Indeed, Rahmans newly set-up music conservatory and his unique ability to pick gloss from dross makes him an institution builder, not just a professional selfpromoter with a megaphone for a mouth. Its the kind of thing middle India needs to cling to right now with another dream, built by an apparent model of rectitude, B. Ramalinga Raju, crumbling before our very eyes. http://indiatoday.digitaltoday.in/index.php?option=com_contentissueid=89task=viewid=25460sectionid=23Itemid=1
