[arr] Top 30 scores of the decade
From James Southall's three part series of articles of the decade of film scores. 30: Slumdog Millionaire (A.R. Rahman, 2008) Sorry to the music’s numerous detractors, but I just couldn’t survey the film music of the 2000s without mentioning this. The songs are brilliant, the score perfect – the music overall is a key element of what made the film so successful. And the album is just pure entertainment from start to finish. http://www.movie-wave.net/capsules/?p=320 I'd also recommend checking out the 1st part of the series which has a summary of the evolution (or devolution) of film scores. And of course, Happy New Year everyone!

Re: [arr] Re: Blue Telugu
That's indeed shocking to hear! Thanks for the clarification, Gopal... It's sad that all the technology used in creating the song finally ends up as a cheap MP3!! Digital release is fine, but why not release it in both cd quality as well as mp3 quality? I still beleive if we take steps from now, we can stop this happening for future audio releases...In one interview, during the pen drive release of blue, AR was talking about distributing high quality 24 bit music etc...If that happens, all would be happy to buy digitally...I also believe that the webstore at arrahman.com should start selling digital music in Indian rupees... On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 11:27 AM, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@gmail.comwrote: You got one part of the answer right, not the other part. The reason is definitely financial but it's financial feasibility and not financial challenges. The age of the CD is over. A market like India was never even there. The advent of unrestrained mp3 sharing on the internet and the rise of the CD as a medium coincided in India. Let me give you a statistic, shocking but true. How many CDs of Slumdog Millionaire do you think T-Series sold in India? All of 60,000. And T-Series printed Over 500,000 copies. For all the chest beating that we do on forums like this, the reality of the day is that nobody pays for music anymore. Who in his right mind would want to invest in manufacturing and distributing CDs upfront in such a market scenario? How many CDs of the Telugu dubbed version of a massive flop do you think will sell? 1000? Can you blame T-Series for not releasing the CD? Music labels make money only off mobile ringtones and ringback tones and TV and FM licensing in today's world. Whatever CDs they do release is purely promotional expenditure, it generates paltry, if any, income for them. There is minimal upfront cost in distributing mp3s through the likes of Amazon. That is the route any sensible business would take. I would be thankful that T-Series is at least progressive enough to provide us with that option rather than not release anything at all.

[arr] Rahman Sir The Man Of The Decade! 2000 - 2009 | A Revisit!!
With the advent of a new promising decade and being just passed off a musically stupendous decade, i just felt to rewind our great Rahman sir's works and achievements by my simple mere words here.! Well, it just goes out to be an understatement if we all declare A.R.Rahman sir as [b]The Man Of The Decade[/b] in the entertainment category. Raining Filmfares, Padmashree, Doctorates, Lata Mangeshkar Awards, National Awards, State Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs,Swaralaya Yesudas Awards, Grammy Nominations and above all the Oscar Academy awards,not withstanding, Rahman sir clearly won millions and trillions of hearts across the globe. I, personally consider that more than those aforementioned awards, its the love among the hearts of people that has made what Rahman sir is today! Lets all rewind back to his illustrious works and corresponding achievements of the decade 2000 - 2009: 2000 1) Alaipayuthey (Tamil) -- A Manirathnam - Rahman Sir Combination Classic Runaway hit! -- Won Filmfare South Best Music Director Award 2) Fiza (Hindi) -- Graced the movie as a guest composer and composed an anthem Qawwali Piya Haji Ali which no one would ever forget 3) Kandukondain Kandukondain (Tamil) -- A Musical Superhit in Rajeev Menon - Rahman Sir combination after Minsaara Kanavu 4) Rhythm (Tamil) -- A sugary sweet and simple composition by Sir 5) Thenali (Tamil) -- A laugh riot flick in the combination of Rahman Sir - Kamal Haasan - K.S.Ravikumar 6) Zubeidaa (Hindi) -- A classic periodical love story by Shyam Benegal.It was ARR's signature tunes that stood up in the movie and well received! 2001 1) One 2 Ka 4 (Hindi) -- Movie turned out to be damp squib despite the presence of most influential people: ARR Sir and Shah Rukh Khan 2) Star (Tamil) -- Rahman sir re-used most of his Thakshak and 1947-Earth tunes onto this one.The response was moderate though! 3)Naayak (Hindi) -- Remake of Tamil Hit Mudhalvan, the same songs were re-used and the response was great! 4)Lagaan (Hindi) -- One of the most successful Cinemas in the film industry, Rahman sir proved the world that there is no one to replace him in period films. -- ARR swept away almost all awards for the year National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction 5) Paarthale Paravasam (Tamil) -- Hugely anticipated movie of the year since it was legendary director K.Balachander's 100th flick! Songs were well received but the movie sank without a trace! 6) Alli Arjuna (Tamil) -- Another masala flick which had tunes of Pukar, 1947 Earth and One 2 Ka 4 all mixed together. Both the songs and film was soon forgotten since all felt that the songs have already been heard before in Hindi! 2002 1)Kannathil Muthammital (Tamil) -- The year began with a bang with Rahman sir teaming up again with Manirathnam.The result: A Megahit venture! --ARR was again the most favourite among the award presenters National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare South Award for the best Music Direction 2)Saathiya (Hindi) -- A hit remake of the Tamil classic hit Alaipayuthey -- Songs became a rage among masses and classes with ARR grabbing : Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction Bollywood Movie Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction MTV Immies Award for the best Music Direction 3) The Legend Of Bhagath Singh (Hindi) -- A revolutionary concept by Rajkumar Santoshi -- Songs and BGMs ruled the music world while the movie bombed due to the interventions of too many movies with the same concept released simultaneously.ARR also received the Filmfare Best Background Music Award for his soul stirring BGMs. 4) Baba (Tamil) -- A mega hyped Rajinikanth starrer which made Rahman sir adapt to Rajni's stardom style. The result was just moderate and movie went disastrous! 5) Kaadhal Virus (Tamil) -- A breezy romantic flick which arrived and departed very quietly without making any news! Only hardcore Rahmaniacs cherish the album till date! 6)Bombay Dreams (English) -- The first and foremost widespread introduction of ARR to the entire world! Andrew Lloyd Webber collaborated with the meastro and made a historic win! -- ARR won the Laurence Olivier Award(UK) for the Best Musical Score 7) Ek Nazaria / One Vision ( Multi) -- ARR gave life to the magical lyrics of the then honorary President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam. 2003 1)Udhaya (Tamil) -- A commercial venture which could not in any means bring accolades by the audience. The music was quite appreciated but not without the critics lamblast! 2) Parasuram (Tamil) -- Another run-of-the-mill flick which was least talked about even by Rahmaniacs. One could easily make out the uncomfirtablity of Rahman sir while working on this project! 3)Boys

[arr] From Melody to Dev D
http://www.hindustantimes.com/From-Melody-to-Dev-D/H1-Article1-492354.aspx Conventional ‘melodies’ were replaced by experimental music, as Bollywood became ‘cool’. 2000 The end of ‘melody’ Nadeem-Shravan had cracked it. The ’90s had belonged to the composer duo, who churned out chartbuster tunes, one album after another. After a brief hiatus, the duo had come back to Bollywood in 2000 with Dhadkan. Almost instantly, the music created new records. But with Taal in the last year, A R Rahman had proved that conventional Bollywood melodies were giving way to a new sound – where experimentation would lead the way. The dawn of music directors like Vishal-Shekhar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy on the scene, who gave equal importance to music production, as they did to composition, all signified a complete overhaul of ‘conventional’ Bollywood music. 2001 The Bhatt film formula The signs were there, right from the time of Kasoor. A high-pitched romantic number with a catchy hook (‘Kitni bechain ho ke’), a male sad song with deep vocals (‘Mohabbat ho na jaaye’), and a female sad song about unrequited love (‘Zindagi man gaye ho tum’). Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt’s films had worked out a distinct music formula at the time of Kasoor, that they’d replicate every year, in every movie, even if the composer and singers changed. So, in the years that followed, Anu Malik gave a similar sound in Murder, Pritam in Gangster, right up to Toshi-Sharib in Jashn. You could identify a Bhatt-film song from a mile away, but that’s not a bad thing. 2002 Kaanta laga If the Bollywood music industry was ever in peril, it was in 2002, when remixes threatened to replace the ‘mukhadas’ and ‘antaras’ with different variations of the phrase ‘Let’s party’, and some turntable effects thrown in for good measure. Shefali Zariwala became the face ... or.. err.. butt of the remix revolution, when she starred in the music video of Kaanta laga, thong firmly in place. Pristine Hindi songs like Chadhti jawani acquired a new meaning, the moral police had a field day, and DJs minted money with Non-stop remix albums. And we found out that even Bappi Lahiri can be plagiarised, when he sued R ‘n’ B singer, Truth Hurts for remixing his song Kaliyon ka chaman in his single, Addictive! 2003 The Return of R D It had to happen. After RD Burman passed away in 1994, his mad orchestrations, wacky experiments, and penchant for using unusual musical instruments to create songs that broke out of the typical rhythm-based Bollywood routine, could never be recreated by any other composer. A lot of remixes came and went, but the Panchamda sound had been lost forever. Until Jhankaar Beats and Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar came. Vishal-Shekhar’s break out album, Jhankaar Beats was an ode to the legacy of Panchamda, and was rooted in his sound. And Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar went the whole mile, recreating 14 of Burman’s best songs, in the voice of the present generation. The Pancham flavour was back! 2004 Zip, zoom, dhoom Move your body, shake your ass’, did you say? That was the domain of the ‘foreign’ singers, that we caught glimpses of, on late night shows on MTV. Music videos, did you say? Only the Indipop world of Sunita Rao and Baba Sehgal had that. Car music, did you say? Well, unless you call Kanta laga car music... In 2004, Pritam changed all that with Dhoom machale. With Thai singer Tata Young at its helm, the song was singularly responsible for the zipping ‘Hinglish’ songs we hear on every track now, the trend of music videos, and the much-abused phrase, ‘international collaboration’. 2005 Kajra re There’s something about Kajre re (Bunty Aur Babli). Maybe it is the sight of a droolsome Aishwarya Rai performing trademark Bollywood ‘thumkas’, in a ravishing, sexy avatar, that men had so-far only dreamed about. Maybe it is the father-son duo dancing with abandon. Or maybe it is the reinvention of the qawwali by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Gulzar, that helped the song pip Omkara’s Beedi (2006) as the item number of the decade. We think it’s Aishwarya! 2006 The phenomenon called Himesh He came, he sang, he conquered. In 2005, Himesh Reshammiya was unwittingly encouraged to sing title song for hisAashiq Banaya Aapne. The song, which had a ‘sufi flavour’, became a rage across India. And an idea was born – that took shape in the form of a 23-song debut private album, Aap Ka Suroor, by Reshammiya, who exploited his nose to sing, swallowed his tears for beautiful models, who ditched him in music videos, and wore a cap to hide his bald patch. The sale of caps reached an unprecedented high, Reshammiya was signed on for a big-budget movie that would explain ‘why he doesn’t smile in music videos’ and ‘nasal singing’ found a synonym. And a phenomenon was born. 2007 Chak De India Last decade, India never really had a sports movie that set our pulses racing and made us bite our nails in excitement.Lagaan, in 2003, changed that. But though Lagaan became

Re: [arr] Star Screeen Awards 2010 Music Nominations
To me, its a tough call between all of them... i think the most deserving are Tum Mile, Delhi 6 and Kaminey. Realistically, it might be a bit tough for Rahman seeing that Delhi 6 flopped at the box office, so i think the very strong contender is Kaminey. Frankly I would not mind if anyt of these three win... the music was all good and all derserving. For Background score, I am convinced that there is none more deserving for Amit Trivedi. He should have ben in the best music nominations as well. Female playback singer... my money is on Rekha Bhardwaj, but Shilpa Rao is also deserving. Want Rahman to work with her so bad. Kavita Seth also impressed me. --- On Fri, 1/1/10, hiten shah hiten.khop...@gmail.com wrote: From: hiten shah hiten.khop...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [arr] Star Screeen Awards 2010 Music Nominations To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, January 1, 2010, 9:54 AM I want A.R.R. to win for Delhi6in all awards...

Re: [arr] From Melody to Dev D
A line from the article after Roja (1992), every year can just as easily be called the ‘year of A R Rahman’. Heck, if the 2000s were to belong to a musician, it would be called the decade of Rahman. what a pleasure to read it. No sweater words have ever been written. :-) -- Rawat On 1/1/2010 9:08 AM India Time, _$ Pavan Kumar $_ wrote: http://www.hindustantimes.com/From-Melody-to-Dev-D/H1-Article1-492354.aspx Conventional ‘melodies’ were replaced by experimental music, as Bollywood became ‘cool’. *2000 The end of ‘melody’ *Nadeem-Shravan had cracked it. The ’90s had belonged to the composer duo, who churned out chartbuster tunes, one album after another. After a brief hiatus, the duo had come back to Bollywood in 2000 with Dhadkan. Almost instantly, the music created new records. But with /Taal/ in the last year, A R Rahman had proved that conventional Bollywood melodies were giving way to a new sound – where experimentation would lead the way. The dawn of music directors like Vishal-Shekhar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy on the scene, who gave equal importance to music production, as they did to composition, all signified a complete overhaul of ‘conventional’ Bollywood music. *2001 The Bhatt film formula *The signs were there, right from the time of /Kasoor/. A high-pitched romantic number with a catchy hook (‘Kitni bechain ho ke’), a male sad song with deep vocals (‘Mohabbat ho na jaaye’), and a female sad song about unrequited love (‘Zindagi man gaye ho tum’). Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt’s films had worked out a distinct music formula at the time of /Kasoor,/ that they’d replicate every year, in every movie, even if the composer and singers changed. So, in the years that followed, Anu Malik gave a similar sound in /Murder/, Pritam in /Gangster/, right up to Toshi-Sharib in /Jashn/. You could identify a Bhatt-film song from a mile away, but that’s not a bad thing. *2002 Kaanta laga *If the Bollywood music industry was ever in peril, it was in 2002, when remixes threatened to replace the ‘mukhadas’ and ‘antaras’ with different variations of the phrase ‘Let’s party’, and some turntable effects thrown in for good measure. Shefali Zariwala became the face ... or.. err.. butt of the remix revolution, when she starred in the music video of /Kaanta laga/, thong firmly in place. Pristine Hindi songs like /Chadhti jawani /acquired a new meaning, the moral police had a field day, and DJs minted money with Non-stop remix albums. And we found out that even Bappi Lahiri can be plagiarised, when he sued R ‘n’ B singer, Truth Hurts for remixing his song /Kaliyon ka chaman /in his single, /Addictive/! *2003 The Return of R D* It had to happen. After RD Burman passed away in 1994, his mad orchestrations, wacky experiments, and penchant for using unusual musical instruments to create songs that broke out of the typical rhythm-based Bollywood routine, could never be recreated by any other composer. A lot of remixes came and went, but the Panchamda sound had been lost forever. Until /Jhankaar Beats /and /Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar /came. Vishal-Shekhar’s break out album, /Jhankaar Beats /was an ode to the legacy of Panchamda, and was rooted in his sound. And /Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar /went the whole mile, recreating 14 of Burman’s best songs, in the voice of the present generation. The Pancham flavour was back! *2004 Zip, zoom, dhoom* Move your body, shake your ass’, did you say? That was the domain of the ‘foreign’ singers, that we caught glimpses of, on late night shows on MTV. Music videos, did you say? Only the Indipop world of Sunita Rao and Baba Sehgal had that. Car music, did you say? Well, unless you call /Kanta laga /car music... In 2004, Pritam changed all that with /Dhoom machale/. With Thai singer Tata Young at its helm, the song was singularly responsible for the zipping ‘Hinglish’ songs we hear on every track now, the trend of music videos, and the much-abused phrase, ‘international collaboration’. *2005 Kajra re *There’s something about /Kajre re /(/Bunty Aur Babli/). Maybe it is the sight of a droolsome Aishwarya Rai performing trademark Bollywood ‘thumkas’, in a ravishing, sexy avatar, that men had so-far only dreamed about. Maybe it is the father-son duo dancing with abandon. Or maybe it is the reinvention of the qawwali by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Gulzar, that helped the song pip /Omkara/’s /Beedi/ (2006) as the item number of the decade. We think it’s Aishwarya! *2006 The phenomenon called Himesh *He came, he sang, he conquered. In 2005, Himesh Reshammiya was unwittingly encouraged to sing title song for his/Aashiq Banaya Aapne/. The song, which had a ‘sufi flavour’, became a rage across India. And an idea was born – that took shape in the form of a 23-song debut private album, /Aap Ka Suroor/, by Reshammiya, who exploited his nose to sing, swallowed his tears for

They’re being held on January 31, at LA, and the Oscar-winning music
composer has won two nominations for his soundtrack from Slumdog
Millionaire. The song Jai Ho – which fetched Rahman two Academy awards and a
Golden Globe – has been nominated for ‘Best Song Written for Motion Picture,
Television or Other Visual Media’ and also for ‘Best Compilation Soundtrack
Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media’.
Rahman, naturally, is pleased. “The Grammy is as exciting as the Oscar. It’s
the ultimate music award, isn’t it? Although it’s a nomination for a film
song, the Grammy is still another shot in the arm for Jai Ho. Any
recognition is welcome.” Not strangely, he feels a huge sense of
responsibility. “I hope I never let down my country, my people, my music, my
family and myself,” said the music genius who has just returned home from
Los Angeles.
Rahman, meanwhile, is unhappy with the outcome of his first Hollywood
soundtrack. “The music of Couples Retreat got a good response. But I feel my
music was not used properly. I guess you can’t expect music to have much of
a place in a comedy. They were more into laughter than music,” he
complained, adding, “The music has all been used. But not the way my fans
would expect. I was prepared for the outcome when I entered this project.”
So he’s not really disappointed by his first foray into Hollywood. “If I had
waited for the perfect Hollywood vehicle, I might have had to wait
endlessly. It’s not easy for an Asian to enter into Hollywood camps. It’s a
new beginning for me. I got great reviews.”
He’s got a lot of offers but also has a tough schedule this year to be able
to give any more time to new commitments. And, contrary to rumours, acting
is not one of Rahman’s forthcoming commitments. “That’s completely false
news,” he said shocked. “I am not going into acting. I’m going to be
speaking in a documentary on my friend, the musician P J Mortan. We’ve known
each other for some time. He collaborated with me for a track in Couples
Retreat. That’s it. I’ve no aspirations to go into acting. God has given me
one skill and I’m very happy with it.”

Raining Filmfares, Padmashree, Doctorates, Lata Mangeshkar Awards, National Awards, State Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs,Swaralaya Yesudas Awards, Grammy Nominations and above all the Oscar Academy awards,not withstanding, Rahman sir clearly won millions and trillions of hearts across the globe. I, personally consider that more than those aforementioned awards, its the love among the hearts of people that has made what Rahman sir is today! Lets all rewind back to his illustrious works and corresponding achievements of the decade 2000 - 2009: 2000 1) Alaipayuthey (Tamil) -- A Manirathnam - Rahman Sir Combination Classic Runaway hit! -- Won Filmfare South Best Music Director Award 2) Fiza (Hindi) -- Graced the movie as a guest composer and composed an anthem Qawwali Piya Haji Ali which no one would ever forget 3) Kandukondain Kandukondain (Tamil) -- A Musical Superhit in Rajeev Menon - Rahman Sir combination after Minsaara Kanavu 4) Rhythm (Tamil) -- A sugary sweet and simple composition by Sir 5) Thenali (Tamil) -- A laugh riot flick in the combination of Rahman Sir - Kamal Haasan - K.S.Ravikumar 6) Zubeidaa (Hindi) -- A classic periodical love story by Shyam Benegal.It was ARR's signature tunes that stood up in the movie and well received! 2001 1) One 2 Ka 4 (Hindi) -- Movie turned out to be damp squib despite the presence of most influential people: ARR Sir and Shah Rukh Khan 2) Star (Tamil) -- Rahman sir re-used most of his Thakshak and 1947-Earth tunes onto this one.The response was moderate though! 3)Naayak (Hindi) -- Remake of Tamil Hit Mudhalvan, the same songs were re-used and the response was great! 4)Lagaan (Hindi) -- One of the most successful Cinemas in the film industry, Rahman sir proved the world that there is no one to replace him in period films. -- ARR swept away almost all awards for the year National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction 5) Paarthale Paravasam (Tamil) -- Hugely anticipated movie of the year since it was legendary director K.Balachander's 100th flick! Songs were well received but the movie sank without a trace! 6) Alli Arjuna (Tamil) -- Another masala flick which had tunes of Pukar, 1947 Earth and One 2 Ka 4 all mixed together. Both the songs and film was soon forgotten since all felt that the songs have already been heard before in Hindi! 2002 1)Kannathil Muthammital (Tamil) -- The year began with a bang with Rahman sir teaming up again with Manirathnam.The result: A Megahit venture! --ARR was again the most favourite among the award presenters National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare South Award for the best Music Direction 2)Saathiya (Hindi) -- A hit remake of the Tamil classic hit Alaipayuthey -- Songs became a rage among masses and classes with ARR grabbing : Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction Bollywood Movie Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction MTV Immies Award for the best Music Direction 3) The Legend Of Bhagath Singh (Hindi) -- A revolutionary concept by Rajkumar Santoshi -- Songs and BGMs ruled the music world while the movie bombed due to the interventions of too many movies with the same concept released simultaneously.ARR also received the Filmfare Best Background Music Award for his soul stirring BGMs. 4) Baba (Tamil) -- A mega hyped Rajinikanth starrer which made Rahman sir adapt to Rajni's stardom style. The result was just moderate and movie went disastrous! 5) Kaadhal Virus (Tamil) -- A breezy romantic flick which arrived and departed very quietly without making any news! Only hardcore Rahmaniacs cherish the album till date! 6)Bombay Dreams (English) -- The first and foremost widespread introduction of ARR to the entire world! Andrew Lloyd Webber collaborated with the meastro and made a historic win! -- ARR won the Laurence Olivier Award(UK) for the Best Musical Score 7) Ek Nazaria / One Vision ( Multi) -- ARR gave life to the magical lyrics of the then honorary President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam. 2003 1)Udhaya (Tamil) -- A commercial venture which could not in any means bring accolades by the audience.
