[image: Feeling like a millionaire: AR Rahman picked up two Oscar's for best original song and best score.] Feeling like a millionaire: AR Rahman picked up two Oscar's for best original song and best score. He's worked on films since he was a teenager, taking over the role of family breadwinner after his father died and followed in his footsteps as a composer. While he had stints writing advertising jingles in India, composing for films has been his life's work so far, yet from his studio in Chennai he admitted to CNN he didn't want to score films. I kept saying next year I'll quit, next year I'll quit. And finally because I was sucked into it more and more, now I have the Oscars he said.

So when I first got it I didn't feel it at all, it was like a rehearsal for me. When I finished my performance then I felt at ease and then I became very philosophical as you know, and I chose love over hate and all this stuff, he told CNN. Feted by many in media, his hit Jai ho was covered by the Pussy Cat Dolls, but the softly spoken Rahman doesn't find it hard to remain grounded. Rahman runs a music school in Chennai, the KM Music Conservatory that keeps him motivated and reminds him that music has a potency that can transform lives. Music can do so many things. I have my foundation, I have my music school. I have people teaching, kids are learning, so I take this as an advantage, the popularity and taking that and putting it into good things, which motivated me to work harder, he said. [image: advertisement] As well as working on more Hindi films, Hollywood beckons, if only for a new experience. There have also been rumors he may score the next James Bond film. I have a couple of offers from Hollywood. Pure American movies which I thought for the heck of it let's do it and a couple of other surprises that you'll know very soon if it works out.

The one I shot in Argentina. One of the pieces in it is a beautiful song and an aria in French. I ask people to guess where it is from, and they search for all the great composers of the western classical form. And are stunned when I tell them the piece was composed by A R Rahman, sung by an Indian girl from his Music Academy, and produced in his studio in Chennai.That is the genius of A R Rahman. Then why do we need the West to tell us how great he is ? http://www.shekharkapur.com/blog/archives/films/ Bollywood news, movie reviews, film trailers and more! Go to http://in.movies.yahoo.com/

[arr] some questions about ARR's Tamil songs
i have recently started listening ARR's Tamil albums (I don't understand Tamil therefore used to listen only his Hindi albums). i have a few questions about some songs, would be grateful if someone could answer. i know this all would have been discussed here when the albums released but i missed since i used to skip messages about Tamil albums. 1. Thigu Thigu (Ah Aah) the song starts with music piece in background (first 42 seconds) and then suddenly bursts into full song. my question is about this music piece. is this part of the original song (i.e., composed by ARR?) or it is some old song integrated here. the old style instrument (don't know what it is called) used made me believe it is some old song. also the instrument is played so beautifully especially those 5 seconds between 0:15 to 0:20. that i wonder why ARR did not use it in the rest of the song. 2. Karisal Tharisil (Tajmahal) first times when i listened this song i did not notice that it is a single song. there are a number of different melodies or songs merged into one song. is this a medley song? 3. Vidai Kodu (Kannathil Muthamittal) oh man, what a stunning song. what a composition, this song alone deserves a bunch of oscars. only ARR can do such a composition. i am totally blown away. for me this is the BEST song of all his Tamil discography. now only one question, please someone tell me what is this song about (the theme of song). if someone could come up with translation that would be really great. 4. Ada Mondru Ezhuthu (Paarthale Paravasam) the first time i listened this song i was like oh this cannot be by ARR. the song is great and my favorite too, the thing which made me think so was the sitar (or guitar or whatever) the instrument the song starts with (00:13-0:30 and then 0:42-0:53). similar pieces i have heard in lot of songs from B-grade composers in Bollywood. very rarely i heard similar piece/instrument in ARR's songs. though the way the same instrument is played in first interlude (1:36-2:09) made me think only ARR can make it played so beautifully. anyways just for clarification question is, is this song an original by ARR or some recreated or remix song (e.g. like i just learned about Ponmagal Vandaal from ATM) this is all for now. i may come with more as i am still not done with some albums. - Jahanzeb

[arr] ‘American’ score... done in my way, of co urse.”
A R Rahman has finally said yes to Hollywood! The music maestro, who’s been wooed by the West ever since Jai Ho had the world on its feet, has signed a Hollywood romantic comedy called Couples Retreat that’s being directed by Peter Billingsley and which features Kristen Bell, Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman. Rahman, who is known to fob off lucrative temptation if his heart and art are not in it, has done British productions in the past. These include the stage versions of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bombay Dreams in 2002 which took Bollywood music to the West, and The Lord Of The Rings. He also did films like Shekhar Kapoor’s Elizabeth and its sequel followed by Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. Couples Retreat requires Rahman to do his first full-fledged western score. “It doesn’t have any Oriental or Indian touches. So, sorry, no Jai Ho this time for global listeners who are looking for a similar musical experience from me. Everywhere I go I am greeted by those two words. Thanks to Gulzar saab for creating such a globally popular catch phrase. But now I do want to move on. This will completely be an ‘American’ score... done in my way, of course.” What’s different about this film from all the others Hollywood offered to him, Rahman said, was the subject. “I wanted to do something fluffy and light-toned. I wanted it to be contemporary. Even Elizabeth took me back to the 15th century,” said the composer for whom Indian cinema has repeatedly thrown somber and complex musical challenges including perplexing period dramas like Lagaan and Rang De Basanti. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bollywood/Rehman-says-yes-to-Hollywood/articleshow/4542875.cms Check the above Link for an awesome snap of AR ! :-) Krish..

Re: [arr] some questions about ARR's Tamil songs
I will answer the 3rd question because its such a lovely song which is close to my heart for the music, the lyrics and rendition by MSV. The song is about the Srilankan tamils leaving their hometown (Mangulam town in the movie) because of Army raid and it explains the plight of their journey amid the bomb shelling and air raids. Here's my attempt on the translation: Give us farewell, our land The homes where the ocean beats down to the doorstep Palm tree forests, birds nest. Will we ever get to see you again? We buried the smiles in our lips We buried our lives within our bodies We embark on a journey just as skeletons. Even if its in tatters, will there be a comfort like a mother(land)'s lap. Even if you went to heaven, will you get the freedom of your home town. Here's the nation where we opened our eyes. Where will be the place when we close our eyes. We part with you.. Rivers.. we will return if we survive.. We will return is our motherland calls us back. Oh land that was born behind a curtain of tears. We see you one last time We lost our music to the cries of the infants. We buried our land when the sun went down At dusk we were on the flowers At night we were torn by the thorns Ocean waters, birds - we will meet you if we are alive Sky and Mountains - we will meet you if we are alive We are going away with little burdens in the head and more in the heart.. ___ Personally my favorite in the movie would be Vellai Pookal which prays for Peace in Srilanka and all over the world.. Let the song come true very soon. What a marvel by Rahman and the guitars.. awesome Cheers, Srini On May 17, 2009, at 9:17 PM, Jahanzeb Farooq wrote: i have recently started listening ARR's Tamil albums (I don't understand Tamil therefore used to listen only his Hindi albums). i have a few questions about some songs, would be grateful if someone could answer. i know this all would have been discussed here when the albums released but i missed since i used to skip messages about Tamil albums. 1.

Here's the small clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwMRc6IpIhw ARR was there for only a few minutes. The event was very poorly organised, and there was utter chaos.
