[arr] Roja : how can we love and live apart ? | A Review
http://www.letstalkaboutbollywood.com/article-33146764.html Roja is an excellent little movie made by Mani Ratnam back in 1992, starring Arvind Swami and Madhoo (Raghunath); it was a real pleasure to watch another of Mani Ratnam’s works. His intelligence, his realism, his careful balance of private and public issues which are typical of his works, all this provides a cinematographic pleasure that makes you feel clever and informed. This is the story: After an opening scene where soldiers, in the misty half-light of a mountainous forest, encircle and catch a man whom we later come to recognize as a separatist terrorist, the scene changes to the Indian countryside, full of splendour and worthy of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s views in his film “Home”. We then follow the arrival of an educated young man, Rishi Kumar, who comes (no less than as a local hero - very funny and touching scenes of welcome) to visit a family where he hopes to find a wife. He wishes to marry a “village belle”, he says, even though he’s always lived in the city. But when he arrives in front of her, she has a secret: she cannot marry him, could he please choose another girl? Upon arriving in the village, Rishi had been spotted by the younger sister, Roja. The spectator has already noticed her, this fiery, brown-eyed beauty, during the bucolic opening. And while the young man was coming, she had spied on him, they had exchanged looks (those knowing looks that lovers the world over recognize immediately, but know as much how to reject because of social realities). But when Rishi’s decision has to be made public, when they all ask him whether he’s made up his mind, he points to Roja: “she’s the one I want”. Of course this is a minor scandal, and for Roja most of all, but she doesn’t have the choice, and must marry the nice-looking stranger. During the wedding ceremonies and the song Rukmani rukmani which captures its joy and expresses its social meaning, Mani Ratnam uses a remarkable background: a rushing floodlit waterfall, symbol of the impetuousness of love perhaps, and makes old women dance with the young, in a vibrant celebration of life. But Roja leaves her home without her sister having explained the quandary she put her in. This is nevertheless only momentary, and the valiant little sister will soon have her heart filled beyond her dreams. Then drama occurs; this newly found treasure of a hubbie is kidnapped, and taken into hiding; the horrid battle of fighting, waiting, hoping, doubting, despairing takes place, all too familiar in our modern world. Those who know Mani Ratnam know he’s capable of great and efficient suspense there. But I won’t tell you how the film’s story continues, only that it’s packed with action and feeling, against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. That is what the film will be, in fact, a magnificent celebration of beauty, life and love, in the best Bollywoodian tradition, the one that doesn’t base itself on the star-system. Of course it’s Mani Ratnam, so there’s the political purpose (see below), but first the film is simply a classic and perfect Bollywood production, with all the necessary and well-balanced, well seasoned ingredients: we have the intense love affair, the danger-filled and malevolent obstacles to love, the charming and witty humour, which comes from the situations themselves, and do not require a comedian’s antiques; the superb songs (AR Rahman, needless to say), which emerge from the intensity of the action, or the passion; and there are all the great emotions: generosity, hatred, courage, determination, indignation, resistance, pity, silent love, and the magical climax where the two lovers reunite and tears gush out. Madhoo/Roja is the soul of the movie: her willpower, fuelled by a love which never fails, her faith that Rishi Kumar, her adored husband, is alive in spite of all odds: these feelings are so poignantly presented that it works, we forget the little inconsistencies and the exaggerated story elements. She appears to have forgotten herself, and becomes the fighting wife, the astoundingly daring lover, whose youth serves as experience and aplomb. Her self-confidence is such that she wins not only hearts but minds. And she sweeps aside, not only all resistance, but all disbelief that we are watching a movie. We are absorbed in the anguish of her quest, in the fearlessness of her pursuit, and we fear with her, we hope with her, we cry with her. Such is the strength of acting! Arvind Swami’s character and personality touches also, because of his restraint and solidity. He doesn’t emote a lot, perhaps, but I found I liked his acting, which is at times almost expressionless: this lack of intensity struck me in fact as a kind of strength, and the sign of a maturity which complements Roja’s youthful and domineering character. Reviews on Imdb have noted the patriotism of the scene where beaten and humiliated, Rishi

Re: [arr] Jai Ho, MJ!
Touching! RIP, MJ! Pasting it here, in case if we lose the online version for some reason A.R. Rahman issues statement on Michael Jackson's death. 25th June, 2009 I am shocked at the untimely passing away of Michael Jackson, one of the greatest musicians of our time. MJ, for most of our generation was an icon who made uncompromising music. He pushed the milestone of Pop music to unbelievable levels through the 80s and 90s. I am yet to find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision. I met him personally after the Oscars in Los Angeles and we vibed very well. He said that he loved India and the Indian people. He said he heard good things about me and he was praising the chord progression of Jai Ho's chorus. He was bursting with energy and told me that every dance move he did,came from his soul and did a five second stunning example. It was like a lightning strike :) He was concerned about developmental issues such as Global Warming and about wars and its damages to the human community. He asked me to compose a unity anthem on the likes of We are the World for him. I nodded in awe ...! He introduced me to his three lovely bright kids. The kids told him I love you dad and he replied “I love you more” as a proud father. I wished him well for his concerts and he said “God Bless you”. After hearing the shocking news I wished it was another rumor which would fade away soon. It took me time to believe that he is no more. I remember, my late sound engineer Sridhar had brought me a video of the premiere of Remember the Time when I was recording Kadal Rojave for my first movie Roja. Seeing it inspired all of us that afternoon. Now, there is no Sridhar and no Jackson anymore. I hope all of us value people's existence more and respect them when they are alive. LIFE IS SHORT...! Artists and their art live for ever. Jai Ho, MJ ! We love you for your music, regardless of all the controversies! A.R. Rahman 25 June, 2009.

This song doesnt need anyone to listen infinite times to like it...just one hear is enough and you will be immersed in this sea of joy.! A Spot ON selection of singer: Shankar ji..!! His high pitch rendition pours in so much of pleasure to the ears.!! A perfect location : Egypt with pyramid backdrop..! Tabu and Ajith emote very well. The composition by ARR and lyrics are above par excellence..!! Smiyai Yaay --- Devan , Dominique Cerejo Another song picturised on Ajith and Tabu...this time along with Pooja Batra. A very peppy song suited perfectly to Devan. But unfortunately, didnt go too well with the listeners. Dominque Cerejo makes a very minute humming here and there.

Chitra belts out this number oozing out her emotions of a broken love affair. Srinivas forms an integral part of the chorus. Hats off to Rahman and Chitra together for making this song soo very beautiful even though it has strong shades of tragedy . Only Chitra could have done full justice to this song. Her second stanza(charanam) is soo mesmerising when she goes an all time high in kekkudh... Kannamoochhi Enada -- Chitra (Solo) / K J Yesudas , Chitra (Duet) This is my personal pick of the album.! One of the most memorable song in this lifetime.! This song gets the best of the best treatment in all the areas..!! While Chitra's solo version is like a honey treat to the listeners, the duet version with Yesudas is like enjoying music at its best..!! Based on a carnatic raaga, the tune makes a lullaby for your sleep too..!! Both Chitra and Yesudas, being the thespians in filmi classicals, enthrall effortlessly..!! The BGM's of this movie also need a special mention, because it blends the classical and pop style in a very efficient way. Particularly, the Nithyashree Mahadevan's swara recitals in the scene where Aishwarya goes for classical trainings..!!! In all...KK music album is musicians and music lover's delight and pride!!!

Though ARR won most of the awards of 2008 for JA, nevertheless I find that many seem to be more keen in passing judgments on the other albums and hardly have I heard praises showered upon the beautiful numbers in JA. Jodha Akbar, according to me, will definitely be placed as one of the finest compositions of ARR. From the haunting Manmohana, the mesmerizing Jashn-E Bahara, to the exquisite In Lamhon Ka Daaman Me, the soulful Khwaja Mere Khwaja and the gripping Azeem O Shaan, each and every song of JA is just too stunning and special in their own way. I can just go on and on about these songs...but I guess some find that it's more intriguing to dismiss a person's work as Not-So-Worldclass than to laud on the person's excellent work of art :( --- On Wed, 6/24/09, kishore parayath kishore.parayath@ gmail.com wrote: From: kishore parayath kishore.parayath@ gmail.com Subject: Re: [arr] When is the next release?

Chitra belts out this number oozing out her emotions of a broken love affair. Srinivas forms an integral part of the chorus.

[arr] Mrs. Bharat Bala remembers King of Pop , ’E kam Satyam’
Many years ago, Michael Jackson had collaborated with A R Rahman [Images] in a song called Ekam Satyam. The album was produced by Bharat Bala and his wife Kanika Myer. Kanika goes back in time and recounts her memories of meeting with the pop icon: Michael heard A R Rahman's Vande Mataram -- which we had produced -- and wanted to work with Rahman and us. He was good friends with S P Hinduja, Chairman of The Hinduja Group, and got in touch with us through him. He wanted to dance on an Indian song. So we recorded the song Ekam Satyam and took it to to him. I met him for the first time in Paris. It was a great honour to meet and produce a song for him. He was very humble and creative. When he heard the song, he was very thrilled. In fact, when he put on the headphones to listen to the song, he started tapping his feet and tapping his band on his thigh in rhythm with the beats. He was enjoying himself. It was nice to see the way he heard the song. He wanted us to take this song to Munich where a fundraiser concert was organised for the Red Cross by Nelson Mandela in 1999. Michael Jackson asked us to bring Indian dancers for the concert. So we took Indian dancers, as well as Prabhu Deva and Shobhana. Before the concert, we met again to get his costume measurements. We wanted him to wear Indian costumes and he readily agreed. On the day of the concert, I wanted to take a video of him backstage. He was very cool and not nervous at all. He was very passionate about what he was doing. He loved music so much. One interesting thing about Michael Jackson was that he was vegetarian, and loved Indian food. He took an Indian chef to Munich. He loved Indian culture, Indian food and the song and dance in our films. I love his songs but my favourite is so You are not alone, They don't care about us, Heal the world, Childhood, Thriller and Man in the Mirror. I miss him a lot. I cannot forget my first meeting with him till date. http://movies.rediff.com/look/2009/jun/26/mj-loved-indian-food.htm Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue ICC World Twenty20 England #39;09 exclusively on YAHOO!

Michael Jackson asked Rahman to compose another “We’re the World” [image: Bookmark and Share] http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250 | June 27th, 2009 | Categorized as Featuredhttp://www.bharatchronicle.com/category/featured [image: michael_jackson]http://www.bharatchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/michael_jackson.jpgMumbai: The untimely demise of Michael Jackson has left a deep void in the global music scene. Indeed, Michael Jackson was the ‘King of Pop’, who ruled the music industry for decades with his foot-tapping numbers and astonishing dance moves. Remembering the legend of pop, Indian music prodigy AR Rahman extolled Michael Jackson and described him, “one of the greatest musicians of our time.” For Rahman, Jackson was an exceptionally gifted musician who catapulted pop music to unbelievable heights during 80s and 90s. Remembering his recent meet with Michael Jackson post the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles, Rahman said that Jackson “Loved India and the people of the country. He told me that he heard good things about me and he was praising the chord progression of ‘Jai Ho’s’ chorus.” For Rahman, Jackson was a rare musical prodigy who was the reservoir of talent. “He told me that every dance move he did, came from his soul,” said Rahman. Recalling Jacko’s dancing abilities, Rahman said that he was mesmerized by Jacko’s five second-demo as “It was a stunning example…like a lightning striking.” Indeed, Jackson was an enlightened person who was concerned about greater issues such as war and global warming. “He asked me to compose a unity anthem on the lines of ‘We are the World’ for him. I nodded in awe,” said Rahman. In Los Angeles, Jackson introduced Rahman to his kids and when the latter wished him luck for his upcoming concerts, Jackson politely said, “God bless you.” Expressing disbelief on Jackson’s sudden death, Rahman said, “It took me time to believe that he is no more.” Recollecting how his crew drew inspiration from the star performer, Rahman maintained, “I remember, my late sound engineer Sridhar brought me a video of the premiere of ‘Remember the Time,’ when I was recording ‘Kadal Rojave’ for my first film ‘Roja’. We were all so inspired that afternoon. Now, there is no Sridhar and no Jackson anymore. I hope all of us value people’s existence more and respect them when they are alive. Life is short. Artists and their art live forever. Jai Ho, MJ!

Recommend you all listen to this song. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vithur vith...@... wrote: Michael Jackson asked Rahman to compose another We're the World [image: Bookmark and Share] http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250 | June 27th, 2009 | Categorized as Featuredhttp://www.bharatchronicle.com/category/featured [image: michael_jackson]http://www.bharatchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/michael_jackson.jpgMumbai: The untimely demise of Michael Jackson has left a deep void in the global music scene. Indeed, Michael Jackson was the `King of Pop', who ruled the music industry for decades with his foot-tapping numbers and astonishing dance moves. Remembering the legend of pop, Indian music prodigy AR Rahman extolled Michael Jackson and described him, one of the greatest musicians of our time. For Rahman, Jackson was an exceptionally gifted musician who catapulted pop music to unbelievable heights during 80s and 90s. Remembering his recent meet with Michael Jackson post the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles, Rahman said that Jackson Loved India and the people of the country. He told me that he heard good things about me and he was praising the chord progression of `Jai Ho's' chorus. For Rahman, Jackson was a rare musical prodigy who was the reservoir of talent. He told me that every dance move he did, came from his soul, said Rahman. Recalling Jacko's dancing abilities, Rahman said that he was mesmerized by Jacko's five second-demo as It was a stunning example like a lightning striking. Indeed, Jackson was an enlightened person who was concerned about greater issues such as war and global warming. He asked me to compose a unity anthem on the lines of `We are the World' for him. I nodded in awe, said Rahman. In Los Angeles, Jackson introduced Rahman to his kids and when the latter wished him luck for his upcoming concerts, Jackson politely said, God bless you. Expressing disbelief on Jackson's sudden death, Rahman said, It took me time to believe that he is no more. Recollecting how his crew drew inspiration from the star performer, Rahman maintained, I remember, my late sound engineer Sridhar brought me a video of the premiere of `Remember the Time,' when I was recording `Kadal Rojave' for my first film `Roja'. We were all so inspired that afternoon. Now, there is no Sridhar and no Jackson anymore. I hope all of us value people's existence more and respect them when they are alive. Life is short. Artists and their art live forever. Jai Ho, MJ! We love you for your music, regardless of all the controversies. http://www.bharatchronicle.com/michael-jackson-asked-rahman-to-compose-another-were-the-world-3956 -- regards, Vithur
