 Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan does not have any account on Twitter. Both the
 Twitter accounts (and more if any) impersonating her are indeed fake
 accounts. This is confirmed from the reliable sources after reading the
 email included below.

 Moreover, logically and legally speaking, even if  anyone sings anything
 for anyone in any movie they will have to abide themselves by the legal
 contracts and the agreements; and such work will not be made available into
 public by any means for any reason including public review and scrutiny
 unless it is released officially.

 Those who still want to believe in the thing, can believe in it based on
 their own reasoning.

 Thanks,

[arr] AP reviews Couples Retreat movie

[$ Pavan Kumar $]

"During such moments, a distracting,
feel-good score — surprisingly from "Slumdog Millionaire" Oscar-winner
A.R. Rahman — pipes in early and often."

---
Capsule reviews: `Good Hair' and others
By The Associated Press
(AP)
– 9 hours ago
Capsule reviews of films opening this week:
"Couples Retreat"
— This is what life might have been like if the guys from "Swingers"
had grown up, moved to the suburbs and turned into lame, sitcommy
cliches. Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team up again, on screen and on
the script (along with Dana Fox), for this broad comedy about four
couples who go on a tropical vacation together. In theory, they're all
there to support their friends Jason (Jason Bateman) and Cynthia
(Kristen Bell) as they try to save their marriage through the couples'
counseling the resort offers. Little do they know they'll get sucked
into agonizing therapy sessions that reveal their own rifts. Under the
direction of Peter Billingsley, another longtime Vaughn friend and
collaborator making his first feature, "Couples Retreat" veers back and
forth in a jarring way between crude sexual humor and supposedly
poignant moments. The couples endure forced nudity and a wildly erotic
yoga class; Favreau's character, Joey, and his wife Lucy (Kristin
Davis) each try to get it on with their respective massage therapists.
But they also must bare their souls. Each of these characters is
exactly the same person the whole way through, until one night when
they all magically experience an epiphany that makes them more
communicative, patient and loving. During such moments, a distracting,
feel-good score — surprisingly from "Slumdog Millionaire" Oscar-winner
A.R. Rahman — pipes in early and often. A few funny lines emerge here
and there, but "Couples Retreat" mostly feels repetitive and overlong
at nearly two hours. You wouldn't mind getting voted off this island.
PG-13 on appeal for sexual content and language. 110 min. One and a
half stars out of four.

  Afro Nisha was an initial title for the cue for a biking 
sequence in the movie when the song is used. Later, in the final release, the 
cue title was changed to Kuru Kuru Kan. That still doesn't explain what Afro 
Nisha means, but I don't know any more. At least, it's not a singer who sounds 
like AR or a new pseudonym for AR.

[arr] The Hollywood reporter reviews Couples Retreat

[hathim2]

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/couples-retreat-film-review-1004020287.story

Couples Retreat - Film  Review

Bottom Line: This intermittently funny tale of four couples undergoing 
relationship therapy struggles hard for its occasional laughs.
A good idea for a sophisticated comedy lurks within the latest Jon 
Favreau-Vince Vaughn collaboration, "Couples Retreat," but the filmmakers lack 
the courage of their convictions. So the payoff is mixed at best. The problem 
might lie in that word "sophisticated." The current trends in film comedies are 
raunch and juvenilia, the very antithesis of sophistication.

When Favreau and Vaughn came to everyone's attention more than a dozen years 
ago with "Swingers," they seemed to have the knack for making a guy movie that 
was both hip and empathetic about men's sexual insecurities. But the two don't 
quite reclaim that territory in "Retreat," which could very well be a follow-up 
to that tale of randy twentysomething males about town, now married and 
experiencing varying degrees of marital stress.

Boxoffice potential is difficult to judge. Normally, a film involving either or 
both actors-writers-producers and (in Favreau's case) a director has strong 
commercial appeal. But the marital issues raised might puzzle or distract 
younger fans expecting sexual tease and potty humor.

In fact, Favreau and Vaughn suffer from the same distraction. There is sexual 
tease and potty humor here, the latter involving Vaughn's young son, and it's 
very funny. The sex stuff works less well and feels out of place among married 
people trying to work through legitimate issues couples face in real life. So 
the script the two wrote with fellow comedy writer Dana Fox gets pulled in 
opposite directions.

The idea is to send four couples off to an island paradise that serves as a 
retreat for couples experiencing relationship woes. One couple (Jason Bateman 
and Kristen Bell) is contemplating divorce.

The anchor couple, Vaughn and Malin Akerman, is a well-adjusted pair with kids, 
friends and busy lives. Another couple, Favreau and Kristin Davis, are more 
dysfunctional than they might realize, and the fourth "couple" barely qualifies 
as such. Faizon Love is newly divorced and has agreed to go along with his 
20-year-old girlfriend, Kali Hawk, whom he has just met.

The other three couples have come along as a favor to Bateman and Bell because 
this gives them a cut-rate deal at the island resort (shot in French 
Polynesia). But the imperious couples guru (Jean Reno) insists that everyone 
must participate or they can all leave with refunds. Predictably, once the 
shrinks and relationship experts go to work, no one's marriage is safe.

The best sections of the film deal with Vaughn and Akerman since it represents 
a critique of the relationship industry that is determined to justify its 
existence in finding problems even if none exists. The most problematic in 
comedic terms involves Favreau and Davis. No week at a couples retreat is going 
to solve their myriad problems.

Because the movie can't get stalled in therapy sessions, it does venture into 
the island for forced situation comedy involving a shark attack, an unlikely 
yoga session and a body massage where mixed signals result in an embarrassing 
male arousal. The real problem, though, is that the movie can't decide how 
seriously it wants to take its characters and their conflicts.

Producer-turned-director Peter Billingsley wisely turns the movie over to his 
talented cast. He and the writers can be faulted, however, for emphasizing the 
male characters over the women even if the title alone would seem to dictate 
more even-handed portrayals.

Tech credits are solid, with the film repping the American debut of Indian 
superstar film composer A. R. Rahman. His is an efficient though relatively 
unmemorable job, the only hint of his Indian roots coming in the almost 
superfluous sequences involving Reno's "couples whisperer."

Re: [arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

[Niven]

Dear Ishaan,

I understand that getting a cd delivered to your country is expensive. But have 
you tries www.induna.com?

I have always been a huge mp3 downloader of rahman's music for years.  But 
since a year or so, i've been buying online to build up my collection of cd n 
dvd of rahman's masterpieces. Still sad that his tamil works are more hard to 
find. Induna has put bengali, telugu, marathi etc languages but still no 
tamil

As a fan of rahman, having his originals with the cd covers in your hand when 
listening to the cd is an experience I consider a priviledge. 

Encoded audio shows imperfection when listening on good audio systems. It takes 
many listening to depict the differences. Its most obvious in tracks with many 
layers and where he uses many effects.  Even at high bitrates, there are 
artifacts which spoil the aural pleasure. Also less soundscapes is present in 
encoded audio.

So my humble request is to make an effort and try to get originals as far as 
possible. try induna for its affordable prices.

Niven

·    When hearing the songs I felt some where music part high vocal low and 
vice versa 
·    Even though I liked Yaar mila, Bhoola tujhe and chiggy wiggy final 
part 
·    We know that our boss songs grow each time, so I played continuously 
(sony k530i) but unable to hear 
Two days back my friend given me blue songs (he said it is download from 
mp3axe.com) 

When I hearing songs I’m totally amazed
I felt I’m the happiest man In the world
I wonder how it is ripped , quality sounds….great
I am listening all the songs twice a day
  
* So don’t tell your song reviews without listening to original quality songs 
  
* Any one tell me how to rip good quality mp3 format 
  
* Which is the best ripping software (mp3), 
  
* 128 kbps, 44.100 Hz, Stereo format is the default in most software

[arr] Illayaraja Songs in ARR Chennai Concert??!!

[Aravind AM]

Hi all,

In today's Dinakaran Chennai Supplement, there's a news item about ARR's Oct-11 
Chennai concert where it is mentioned that songs of many composers including 
Illayaraja will be performed in the concert!

Screenshot of the article from Dinakaran Epaper -> 
http://tinypic.com/r/2j2u890/4

No offence to IR, but I'm hoping this news is false and hoping this is a 
goof-up by Dinakaran. I would rather attend any other concert if i want to 
listen to other composer's songs... For me, an AR concert is something SPECIAL, 
some thing RARE and something TO BE TREASURED, and it should feature ONLY songs 
of our Boss... Those 3 hours are always MAGICAL, and each minute is PRECIOUS 
for me. I would want it to be filled only with ARR and only ARR!

Gops/Vijay can you please confirm this is false news! ;)

[arr] A distracting, feel-good score from A.R. Rahman pipes in early and often.

[pratap]

`Couples Retreat' is far from paradise
LOS ANGELES – "Couples Retreat" suggests what life might have been
like if the guys from "Swingers" had grown up, moved to the suburbs and
turned into lame, sitcommy cliches.

Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team
up again, on screen and on the script (along with Dana Fox), for this
broad comedy about four couples who go on a tropical vacation together.

In theory, they're all there to support their friends Jason 
(Jason Bateman) and Cynthia (Kristen Bell)
as they try to save their marriage through the couples' counseling the
resort offers. Little do they know they'll get sucked into agonizing
therapy sessions that reveal their own rifts. For example: Vaughn's
character, Dave, doesn't care about picking out tile to redo the
kitchen. His wife, Ronnie (Malin Akerman), does. It's a laugh riot if you think 
Paul Reiser's "Couplehood" is funny — and we haven't even gotten to their 
painfully cute young son whose defining personality trait is urinating and 
pooping in inappropriate places.
Under the direction of Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from "A 
Christmas Story"),
another longtime Vaughn friend and collaborator making his first
feature, "Couples Retreat" veers back and forth in a jarring way
between crude sexual humor and supposedly poignant moments. The couples
endure forced nudity and a wildly erotic yoga class; Favreau's
character, Joey, and his wife, Lucy (Kristin Davis),
who married right after high school, each try to get it on with their
respective massage therapists. But all must also bare their souls,
which feels wedged-in and unconvincing compared to the proliferation of
physical humor.

Faizon Love
rounds out the group as the divorced Shane, who brings along his
20-year-old girlfriend, Trudy (Kali Hawk), a shrill party girl who
likes to call him "Daddy" and pour hot wax on his naked chest.
Each
of these characters is exactly the same person the whole way through,
until one night when they all magically experience an epiphany that
makes them more communicative, patient and loving. During such moments,
a distracting, feel-good score — surprisingly from "Slumdog Millionaire" 
Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman — pipes in early and often.

"Couples
Retreat" makes fun of the people who run the place, including the New
Age-y mastermind, Monsieur Marcel (Jean Reno in a braided tail and a
Speedo), and the condescending concierge, Sctanley (Peter Serafinowicz)
— spelled with a "c." But ultimately it embraces the very lessons the
resort is trying to teach. It also finds time for a little shameless
product placement along the way: an extended ad for "Guitar Hero," right as the 
movie is approaching its big, revelatory climax..

A
few funny lines and ideas emerge here and there — the rigid Jason's
fondness for PowerPoint presentations is vaguely amusing — but "Couples
Retreat" mostly feels repetitive and overlong at nearly two hours. You
wouldn't mind getting voted off this island..
"Couples
Retreat," a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 on appeal for
sexual content and language. Running time: 110 minutes. One and a half
stars out of four.

Re: [arr] Initial Couple's Retreat movie reviews, not so good :(

[pratap]

Rotten Tomatoes is a critics based site. Their review doesn't affect the box 
office performance. Take Transformers 2 for example. Only managed to score 19% 
there but is a huge hit. Do not bother looking at Rotten Tomatoes if you want 
to watch a movie just to enjoy it... Wait for IMDB's user review

  This is the latest review excerpt i found on rottentomatoes

"To avoid paying for a holiday to hell, don't see Couples Retreat. A prime 
contender for 2009's Worst Film, this star-studded but startlingly drab 
"comedy" is the kind of terrible trip you pray will be over long before it's 
time to go home."



Not a good sign. All 3 reviews out there have panned the movie big timeLets 
hope the people prove critics wrong. I don't want Rahman's beautiful score to 
go for a crap movie.

[arr] Hollywood reporter review on Couples Retreat

[coolwiz80]

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/couples-retreat-film-review-1004020287.story

"Tech credits are solid, with the film repping the American debut of Indian 
superstar film composer A. R. Rahman. His is an efficient though relatively 
unmemorable job, the only hint of his Indian roots coming in the almost 
superfluous sequences involving Reno's "couples whisperer."

[arr] Re: Afro Nisha

[jayram]

Hi Gopal,

The song has a very simple and clean lyrics. I love it.

Do you know who wrote the lyrics for this song ? 

Unfortunately, the lyricist is not listed in any credits in arrahman.com or 
yahoo.

Re: [arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

Well said Pardeep. Same situation as of wiredbeats, I download music from net 
as CDs take 2-3 days to get here. 

This time I am saving a bit of money by not buying mp3s from iTunes / Amazon;  
will just buy CD when its available. 

If someone likes ANY soundtrack / album, whether its composed by ARR or any 
other artist - one MUST buy original CD and support / thank the artist.

Re: [arr] any 'Audiophiles' on this group?

[niyant_dalal]

rajib - i don't know about the answer to your question, but I would
expect the larger ipods to have better DACs and hence be able to produce
a cleaner sound. obviously these may be perceivable only with
audiophile-quality output (headphones or speakers). it would be good to
hear from someone if they've done a one-to-one comparison with good
quality headphones.
there are many (mostly expensive to very expensive) ways of getting
clean output from ipods that are discussed on audiophile forums -- some
companies offer to modify your ipod's analog output (line out) to reduce
the amount of deterioration that occurs due to the analog transport to
your line out. there are others like 'wadia itransport' that offer
audiophile-grade ipod docks that completely bypass the DAC on the ipod
to transfer digital signals to your receivers / amps / etc.
there's a good 'audiophile' review of one of the older ipod classics
that might interest some:
http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_14_1/ipod-bench-tested-3-2007-part\
-1.html

but from what i hear, the purists would mostly not consider mp3s as a
good software source ... from a sound quality perspective its this:
vinyl, sacd, dvd audio   >   cd, lossless mp3 / aac / flac / ape>   
mp3

[arr] Blue - Horrible Choreography

[Rivjot]

Really hurt after watching Blue Theme (new version), Bhoola Tujhe and 
(especially) Fiqrana.. what have they done to them?? Video is sooo boring and 
un-appealing :(

Not even 1% justice done with such amazing songs ; just my opinion though..

[arr] Re: How is Blue the CD selling?

[Rivjot]

It is on # 1 list of best-sellers on most of online webstore, so I think doing 
quite well. With movie promotion to start (aggresively) within a day or so, it 
will probably do even better..

Re: [arr] any 'Audiophiles' on this group?

[icashwin]

You can always rip lossless mp3s or AACs to keep the sound quality close to the 
CD. There is also general agreement amongst audiophiles that 192 kbps is a rate 
that is close enough to the CD at the same time providing the convenience of 
lesser file size..

iPod stock earphones are horrible. Sennheiser, Grado or AKG are good low end 
audiophile quality headphones. If you have more money to shell you can consider 
the Shures, etymotic research and ultimate ears. These provide a divine mid and 
high range...

[arr] ARR Sir is a Lyricist Now :)

[jayram]

Hi friends,

Did you guys notice that A.R.R Sir has written many songs (Nana, Sajna) for 
"CR" along with Blaaze ??? I enjoyed both of them. Nana was especially stunning.

I wonder who was the lyricist for the Kuru Kuru Song in CR. The Album credit at 
arrahman.com does not show who wrote Kuru Kuru song. :(

Regards,
Jay

RE: [arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

[Noor Habib]

yes i totally agree. We know the depth of effort ARR contributes to a
album.Therefore we make it a must to purchase his CDs. 
I feel Purchasing original ARR CDs is a kind of an encouragement for
ARR.

Good point, Wiredbeats. Recent example of that is with Blue. Yes, I too
am guilty of downloading, but I always buy new ARR CDs when they are
availablenever an exception! For Blue, yes, I know there are issues
with sound quality, but to me, the sound on the original CD is crisper
and sharper than what I hear on the MP3s, even though the MP3s are 320
kbps. So, yes, if you want the best quality listening, get the original
CD.

ARR himself once said that if we want composers to do good work and
create good music for our listening pleasure, we must buy original CDs.
And for ARR CDs, as we know, it's usually worth way, way, way more than
what we pay!

Honestly. iPOD headphones are horrible in reproduction. Buy any good sennhieser 
entry level is some 570 rupees. check the difference the same device gives. And 
no, there are not many things that will disappear in an MP3 when you covert. 
The fidelity suffers but it makes it up when you listen in a headphones

RE: [arr] How is Blue the CD selling?

I have few good friends here in Hyd and Bangalore manning music stores and they 
say BLUE CDs sales have gone down..Himes's Radio and Wake Up sid is selling 
more..and no one is buying that pen drive and memory cards..mainly because they 
find them useless.( which it is). The biggest music world here has sold only 10 
pendrives in a week.May be there were rahmaniacs who just wanted it for the 
heck of it. 
Blue sold well close to 500 discs a day in many whole sale outlets in hyderabad 
and then down.
May be because whoever wanted to buy has bought it and rest have downloaded

RE: [arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

[shafaq ishaan]

with all respect my friend, i admire your passion, and i appreciate your 
considering.

but let`s be clear, our boss ARR is not only populair in india , U.S. or 
england but across the globe, even in south-america, where i live, in SURINAME, 
and if the internet is offering free download, then why not, cuz there many 
people, who can`t spend that money to buy an expensive album. and if that is 
not all, in other country, to import an album through the net is also expensive.

so there are many fans, but it is also the cost what you are talking about.

not everyone is rich, so what happens, if there is an original cd out, they 
copy it, and you can not stop piracy.

it can be an effect, but there is no stop for it.

 

sorry but this the truth.

[arr] Afro Nisha

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Afro Nisha was an initial title for the cue for a biking sequence in the
movie when the song is used. Later, in the final release, the cue title was
changed to Kuru Kuru Kan. That still doesn't explain what Afro Nisha means,
but I don't know any more. At least, it's not a singer who sounds like AR or
a new pseudonym for AR.

Well I have had the opportunity of meeting Santosh Pandey at one of 
our fan club meetings in Mumbai.

He is one crazy guy. I mean literally mad about ARR. Quite a devoted Rahmaniac. 
We plan to visit his library sometime.

Regards,

Vinay Patil

[arr] BBC UK reviews Blue! - A fantastic follow up to Slumdog Millionaire

[Madhavan Rajan]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/dx3q

BBC Review
A fantastic follow up to Slumdog Millionare.

Steve Chatha 2009-10-07

The Mozart of Madras has upgraded to Global Music God after the roaring
success of Slumdog Millionaire, all ears eagerly awaiting Oscar winner A.R.
Rahman’s next soundtrack.

Blue is an out-and-out commercial flick – a point to be kept in mind when
listening to the soundtrack. Rahman seems to be having fun here, but nowhere
does he compromise on quality.

The album kicks off with the Marmite track of the year, Chiggy Wiggy.
VocalistKylie 
Minogue’s
seductive style infused with Sonu
Nigam’s
bhangra works, but not instantly. But, given spins enough, the track will
surely prove a big hit with fans of the pop princess.

The subsequent stylistic transition is abrupt, but sets the tone for the
incredible fusion of jazz and classical Indian with tribal chants in Aaj Dil
Ghustakh Hai.Sukhwinder
Singh
 and Shreya 
Ghoshal
excel
here, almost outdoing one another in their vocal brilliance.

Fiqrana’s unpredictability bounces from soft rock to Qawwali, altering
styles just as you try to categorise it. It’s an interesting track, yet it
doesn’t quite take off.

007 and Destiny’s Child drop by to make their presences felt on Rehnuma and
Yaar Mila Tha respectively – the music is original, of course, yet the
inspiration is hard to ignore.

Yaar Mila Tha soon gives way to an Arabic beat with playful lyrics sung by
Madhushree and Udit
Narayan.
The latter last appeared on the What’s Your Rashee? soundtrack, and it’s a
pleasure to hear him again. Rehnuma, meanwhile, is a bona-fide killer track.
Easily one of Rahman’s most impressive compositions, it has a James
Bond-goes-jazz feel to it, with scintillating vocals by Shreya Ghoshal.
Sadly, though, the talents of Nigam seem to fade into the background.

The title track is a powerful number, with Blaaze trading rapping for
singing, performing alongside Raqeeb Alam, Sonu Kakkar and Jaspreet Singh.
It’s an unconventional track which would sit easily on an Asian Underground
album and another of Rahman’s fantastic theme songs.

Let’s just hope that the film matches up to this brilliant musical treat
from Rahman, a fantastic follow up to Slumdog Millionare.

Actually the songs are by AR Rahman atleast that is what the movie said. I
think this came in around 2003-2004 when he was busy with many hindi movies.
This is a tamil movie (which has got dubbed in hindi). Songs were average

[arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

[pradeepanonline]

Why should I buy original CD's ?
When the music is available to download free of cost, why should we buy 
original CD. After all, ARR (or any other musician) is rich. he is not going to 
be affected by some ppl not buying. Right ? 

** WRONG **

The money that you spend for the CD is not just for the primary artist. think 
about all the other artists working with him. And the countless number of 
people involved in the music industry. Their livelihood depends on the bucks 
that we consider to be saving by downloading for free. If we want to keep 
getting better & better stuff in terms of technology, it all depends on whether 
we buy or not.

The money that we put is not just going to help the music industry. What goes 
around comes around ! The whole economy is benefited. Imagine if someone thinks 
you don't have to be paid for 10 minutes of your work-week. Think what you are 
missing & how it will impact others.

So please always buy Original CD's & thank God for helping you afford it.

[arr] Initial Couple's Retreat movie reviews, not so good :(

[coolwiz80]

This is the latest review excerpt i found on rottentomatoes site - 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/couples_retreat/

"To avoid paying for a holiday to hell, don't see Couples Retreat. A prime 
contender for 2009's Worst Film, this star-studded but startlingly drab 
"comedy" is the kind of terrible trip you pray will be over long before it's 
time to go home."

Not a good sign. All 3 reviews out there have panned the movie big time...Lets 
hope the people prove critics wrong. I don't want Rahman's beautiful score to

Re: [arr] Listen to Raavan's song by Aishwarya Rai

[Rivjot]

..and 1000 more mails for the tracklist, release date of Raavan etc. lol

@topic - I had feeling from the start that this has to be fake though it was me 
who posted this news as I thought it is appropriate to post any speculation 
about Raavan.. anyways, who would release a COMPLETE song 6-7 months before the 
release of the movie.. it has to be fake.

[arr] How is Blue the CD selling?

[ichord]

I'm particularly interested in the commercial outcome of Blue the CD, since 
it's such a commercial/catchy score.  I hope it's flying off the stands!

[arr] Re: Vtv Audio Release date - 23rd October 2009

[Rivjot]

Not that I can recall of.. but they have definitely released a few Telugu CDs 
of Rahman. Iddaru, Bharateeyudu to name a couple

RE: [arr] Stephan Devasi Re-Creating Rahman magic in Super Star 2 Check This V D Os

[wiredbeats .]

He is great no doubt. But he is not playing the back track himself. Some part 
is showbizz ( which is ok) and some parts are played. You can't arrange a track 
like Koncham Nillavu on a set of Keyboards,sequencers!!
its the real track of rahman and his innovations...but still good job and good 
style
