Enthiran music in April

IndiaGlitz
 [Wednesday, January 20, 2010]















As the D- day is nearing we have more on Endhiran
coming out. Now it is about the theme music. AR Rahman who is working
on Endhiran songs from London has completed the theme music first at
the behest of director Shankar. The theme music comes where ever the
Robot Rajni appears. Shankar will plan and film the visual sequences
based on the music. The story boards for the sequences are being
readied at a frantic pace by the team of Shankar.
Apart from its music Endhiran is also is special for
its choreography by Prabhu Deva, lyrics by Vairamuthu, art direction by
Sabu Cyril and cinematography by Ratnavelu. Another specialty will be
the exclusive sound effects crafted by the Oscar winner Resul Pookutty.
Pookutty creates the unique metallic sound effects for the Robot
charcter.
Other than the Endhiran team there is one more
person who very closely following Endhiran developments right from its
scratch. That is the chief minister M. Karunanidhi. He had already
enquired about the release date to Rajnikanth many times.
With plans perfect Shankar has allotted six months
only for the graphics, animation and other special effects. So the
release may be pushed little further than previously expected. Our
sources tell us the music will rock in April and the film is a Diwali
pleasure.

[arr] A R Rahman arrives in Muscat for Jai Ho concert

2010-01-20 Thread Srini
http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/music/a-r-rahman-arrives-in-muscat-for-jai-ho-concert-1.570325

Double Oscar-winner A. R. Rahman arrived in Muscat Tuesday with his
troupe of 90 musicians and performers for the Oman leg of his Jai Ho
world tour.
Muscat is the only city in the Middle East where Rahman will perform
when he takes to the stage Thursday at the 15,000-capacity Royal Oman
Police Stadium in Wattayeh district of Muscat.
“There has been very encouraging demand for the tickets and we are
expecting a full house although some tickets are available, especially
for the residents of UAE and the other GCC states,” Dr Sathish Nambiar
of Eventful told Gulf News.
The concert is organised in Muscat by Eventful and Ovation. The
tickets are priced at 100 riyals, 50 riyals, 25 riyals and 10 riyals
and can be booked online at boxofficeme.com
Rahman, a much-sought after film music composer, won two Oscars for
his music score for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. He is due to attend a
dinner tonight at the Al Nahda Resort with 500 guests, who have paid
200 Omani riyals for for a special seating at the stadium.
“He flew in straight to Muscat after performing at Sydney,” Nambiar said.
All the original singers who performed on the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’
soundtrack arrived with Rahman for the concert along with the other
big names like Hari Haran, Sadhan Sargam and drummer-par-excellence
Shiv Mani.

Re: [arr] A R Rahman - Very *** Music Composer!!

2010-01-20 Thread Yogesh Korde
Putting such subject line should not be preferred.
We all love AR and his music but overall Hindi film industry music
has been always on better plane.
We had great MDs like Naushad,SD Burman,Salil Chaudhary,Khayyam,Madan Mohan
OP Nayyar and Shankar-Jaikishan.
All of them have tried to provide their best.
When you have great film makers,great lyricists and great singers along with 
great MDs the era is sure to be called as 'Golden Era'

But AR is person who has given altogether new dimension to music and is 
considered among 'Best'.We are fortunate to born in Rahman's Era.
Definately AR is on top of our list [and will be]..but we should always listen
to other good MDs as well because Music is not confined to any single artist.

  It is my personal view, I do not know if i am right or wrong, but according 
  to me Rahman is a Bad Music Composer.
 
  All these years I have listened to all his compositions starting with Roja 
  till Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya.
 
  But now suddenly when I look back, I realize that he has increased my 
  standards in appreciating what is called good music
  so much that I simply cannot appreciate any other music composer's music 
  unless it meets Rahman's style or standards.
 
  So, eventually you have started expecting a lot from each music composer 
  than what we did before ARR started ruling music industry worldwide.
 
  My question : Is this change a good thing or otherwise?

2010-01-20 Thread Rivjot
hmm who is comparing him to ARR? He has been composing for movies from last 2 
year only and Rahman is international celebrity; been in industry from 18+ 
years. Dont you remember the article where he picked top 10 ARR albums, plus in 
almost all of his interviews he talks about him being fan of ARR. 

So far I have loved both of Amit's albums and Iktara, but he still got a long 
way to go. Many music directors get success in early stages of their career but 
find tough to carry on. Ismail Darbar, Monty Sharma, Mithoon are few good 
examples..

 This is off topic, but if we're talking about Amit Trivedi a bit, here's my 
 opinion:
 
 He is talented and has carved out a nice niche for himself.  He has great 
 potential to be even more successful in the future.  He's very creative and 
 very innovative.  But, is he the next ARR?  No, not in my opinion.  His music 
 is intellectually stimulating, diverse, and crafty, but so far, from what 
 I've heard in Aamir and Dev D, his music does not reach me emotionally much, 
 does not touch me deep inside, does not impress me with overall sound, and 
 lacks the type of ambiance and soul that I most prefer and appreciate in 
 music in general.  Just my opinion.
 
 He should be given credit for what he's done so far, but should not be 
 compared to ARR as ARR is on a different plane altogether in my view.

 Hi,
  
 It is my personal view, I do not know if i am right or wrong, but according 
 to me Rahman is a Bad Music Composer. 
  
 All these years I have listened to all his compositions starting with Roja 
 till Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya. 
  
 But now suddenly when I look back, I realize that he has increased my 
 standards in appreciating what is called good music 
 so much that I simply cannot appreciate any other music composer's music 
 unless it meets Rahman's style or standards.
  
 So, eventually you have started expecting a lot from each music composer than 
 what we did before ARR started ruling music industry worldwide.
  
 My question : Is this change a good thing or otherwise?

 Ranjit

2010-01-20 Thread Gobi Kanadasan
2010: 
  KOLLYWOOD’S YEAR AHEAD


 
  


 
   
  The time has come to look 
ahead. 
  2010 has set in and brings 
with 
  it a whole lot of 
expectations 
  and hopes. What else will we 
  be looking forward to other 
  than the biggest movies of 
the 
  year and other events that 
relate 
  to cinema? Sports buffs will 
  be over the moon this year as 
  there are many top notch 
international 
  events waiting for them 
including 
  the T20 World Cup, the IPL, 
  the FIFA World Cup, the 
Hockey 
  World Cup, the Commonwealth 
  Games and other regular 
events 
  of the calendar year. Add to 
  that the excitement that is 
  brought about by the return 
  of Michael Schumacher to F1 
  racing. We can promise Tamil 
  cine buffs that 2010 is going 
  to be no less exciting for 
you.

  

  Yes, Pongal was not the usual 
  star studded affair in spite 
  of some very interesting 
releases. 
  But, the star march starts in 
  early February with Ajith 
appearing 
  in Asal, his 49th movie. But, 
  2010 will not be about the 
49th 
  movie, it will be about the 
  half century of two of the 
biggest, 
  young (relatively) stars of 
  Kollywood. It is going to be 
  50 for both Vijay and Ajith. 
  While Vijay is on his way 
with 
  the shooting for Sura 
progressing 
  fast, Ajith is yet to 
finalize 
  his plans though there are 
pretty 
  strong indications that it 
might 
  be Gautham Menon who gets his 
  dates. Sura is definitely a 
  2010 offering though the date 
  has not yet been announced 
and 
  Ajith’s 50th too is expected 
  to be ready before 2011 
begins.

  

  Just imagine, what have been 
  said above are the relatively 
  smaller things as compared to 
  the real big draws of 2010.

at first when i heard omana penne, i instantly liked it since it has a simple 
tune.but then after repeated hearings, i can't get out of loop.The flow of the 
song and the instrumentations is masterly crafted.
The simple tune gets intense from about 2:00 and then at 2:09 it changes its 
mood, then the malayalam bit,everything goes well.
at the end the nadaswaram was a treat.the highlight moment of the nadaswaram 
bit was at 4:39.I was blown away by the abrupt transition.

Can Gopal or the regulars on the group fish out information as to when was the 
FIRST BGM uploaded using the Yahoo group ?

I found a message number 5221 sent by Kailairajan Kailasanathan on November 30, 
1999 informing uploading Mudhalvan BGM on ARR FTP...

In that case let's celebrate ( belated ) 10 years of BGM extraction through 
this group in which so many have contributed, Such as Wassim (Kaissom), AJ, 
Vithur, Aravind, Prathap and many such Rahmaniacs ( please excuse me as I know 
I have missed many names ) 

We must thank all of them for unwrapping a priceless treasure of Rahman's 
music. Dear BGM team, Thank you !

I think I have all BGMs collected through this group and listening to these 
BGMs gives a rare insight into the movie and ARR's ability to make the scene a 
memorable one. And they do make a unique mobile phone ring tone !

THE BEST BGM according to me  SWADES !

  As the D- day is nearing we have more on Endhiran
  coming out. Now it is about the theme music. AR Rahman who is working
  on Endhiran songs from London has completed the theme music first at
  the behest of director Shankar. The theme music comes where ever the
  Robot Rajni appears. Shankar will plan and film the visual sequences
  based on the music. The story boards for the sequences are being
  readied at a frantic pace by the team of Shankar.
  Apart from its music Endhiran is also is special for
  its choreography by Prabhu Deva, lyrics by Vairamuthu, art direction by
  Sabu Cyril and cinematography by Ratnavelu. Another specialty will be
  the exclusive sound effects crafted by the Oscar winner Resul Pookutty.
  Pookutty creates the unique metallic sound effects for the Robot
  charcter.
  Other than the Endhiran team there is one more
  person who very closely following Endhiran developments right from its
  scratch. That is the chief minister M. Karunanidhi. He had already
  enquired about the release date to Rajnikanth many times.
  With plans perfect Shankar has allotted six months
  only for the graphics, animation and other special effects. So the
  release may be pushed little further than previously expected. Our
  sources tell us the music will rock in April and the film is a Diwali
  pleasure.

 the movie..very original and haunting..i love the way the background voices 
 are used
 
 Neelathamare (song) from Neelathamara (Malayalam) by Vidyasagar..another song 
 from this movie became more popular but i think that song is more run-of the 
 mill..this one on the other hand is highly original with Celtic orchestration 
 and a great melody
 
 Ayan  Aadhavan (Tamil) by Harris Jayaraj...he may not come up with a lot of 
 innovations but he consistently puts out good songs..all the songs in Ayan 
 are good while 4/6 in Aadhavan are
 
 Enjoy!

[arr] Visual effect

2010-01-20 Thread raamkumar vaidyanathan
Music has a visual element in it. And, Oscar winner A R Rahman is trying his 
best to make sure that his songs get good visual treatment in the movies he 
works in. “I’m very concerned about the visual treatment,” disclosed Rahman, 
releasing the soundtrack of Couples Retreat, “My fans get very agitated when my 
work gets wasted. I get angry e-mails asking me why I worked on films that 
don’t utilise my songs properly. I’m actually cool with it, but my fans 
aren’t!” 

Rahman described the experience of working on his first mainstream Hollywood 
film as “fantastic”. “I enjoyed doing Couples Retreat because of the freedom I 
got,” he said, “Also, the budget - in terms of orchestra — was flexible so that 
I could get exactly what I wanted, musically.” The Mozart of Madras also had to 
slightly change his work timings to ensure that work finished on time. “I 
worked on weekends too,” he said with a smile, “That was funny!” 

Later, talking exclusively to CT, Rahman stressed that he did not want exotic 
names when he was composing music for Gautham Menon’s Vinnaithaandi 
Varuvaaya. “I particularly did not want to use new singers just for the sake of 
it,” he said, “I wanted the local bunch of singers to go to the next level, and 
that’s why I used most of them in this album. Of course, Alphonse — who sang 
the Malayalam song — was an exception.”

[arr] Aaromale is far, far ahead as fav VT V song!!!

2010-01-20 Thread ichord
Looks like we have a winner in Aaromale as fav VTV song as the othere are not 
even close to its number of votes.  Second most voted so far is Mannipaya, 
followed by Omanna, Anbil Avan, then Hosanna.  Surprised that Hosanna is 3rd 
lowest so far, given it was the lead song of all the promos and probably will 
be the most commercially successful.  Goes to show how strong this album is 
with every song being picked as a favorite!  Still time to vote if you haven't

I found a message number 5221 sent by Kailairajan Kailasanathan on November 30, 
1999 informing uploading Mudhalvan BGM on ARR FTP...

In that case let's celebrate ( belated ) 10 years of BGM extraction through 
this group in which so many have contributed, Such as Wassim (Kaissom), AJ, 
Vithur, Aravind, Prathap and many such Rahmaniacs ( please excuse me as I know 
I have missed many names ) 

We must thank all of them for unwrapping a priceless treasure of Rahman's 
music. Dear BGM team, Thank you !

I think I have all BGMs collected through this group and listening to these 
BGMs gives a rare insight into the movie and ARR's ability to make the scene a 
memorable one. And they do make a unique mobile phone ring tone !

THE BEST BGM according to me  SWADES !

[arr] I'm very confused about something.....

2010-01-20 Thread ichord
I've checked various VTV reviews abound, and not all reviews are full throttle 
positive, which is fine.  People are entitled to their own opinions.  But, one 
word that I'm seeing being thrown around by some on the web to describe some of 
the music on VTV is amateurish.   

Am I missing something?  The music of VTV to me is very mature, thorough, 
thoughtful, deep, intricate, purposeful, and very crafty.  I don't know based 
on what type of perception that some people are coming up with the word 
amateurish.  If it was just one person who used this word, I wouldn't care to 
mention it and wouldn't care in general, but it's a word used by several (won't 
mention names or websites to avoid off topic discussions).  Someone just 
recently described the music of Hosanna as amateurish.  Huh?  

Can anyone throw some light onto this? Does anyone else feel this way?  If you 
do, that's fine, I would just like to know why you think so.

 UTV launches Delhi-6 on iTunes  Story By: BUSINESSOFCINEMA.COM TEAM updated
on: Jan 20, 2010

MUMBAI: UTV’s Delhi-6, co-produced and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
and starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor has been launched on iTunes.
It is the first Indian film to be made available on the iTunes online store.
Delhi-6 is featured on the store in the New and Noteworthy film section and
is available at $9.99 for download-to-own.



The music of Delhi-6 has been composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by
Prasoon Joshi.



UTV Motion Pictures USA VP Lokesh Dhar said, “Entertainment is witnessing a
surge of consumption in the online space therefore more and more fans are
surfing, looking for movie related content on the internet. Hence, launching
Delhi-6, the complete film, on iTunes was a perfect fit as not only does the
film appeal to all alike, but is another step in UTV’s endeavor to set
trends and not follow them. We are extremely proud that Delhi-6 is the first
Indian film on iTunes.”



Delhi-6 was released in theatres worldwide on 20 February, 2009. Delhi-6 has
been screened at the 66th Venice Film Festival, Bangkok International Film
Festival, and 29th Annual Hawaii International Film Festival, among others.

 He is talented and has carved out a nice niche for himself.  He has
 great potential to be even more successful in the future.  He's
 very creative and very innovative.  But, is he the next ARR?  No,
 not in my opinion.  

 His music is intellectually stimulating,
 diverse, and crafty, but so far, from what I've heard in Aamir and
 Dev D, his music does not reach me emotionally much, does not touch
 me deep inside, does not impress me with overall sound, and lacks
 the type of ambiance and soul that I most prefer and appreciate in
 music in general.  Just my opinion.

I share that opinion. Seems that is why I have not included him yet in 
the list of my favs.

Comedy songs also become hit, technically amazing songs also become 
hit, but what makes a composer beloved of the listeners is thru songs 
that touch the heart of the listeners.

Bringing this thread back to ARR, there was a time when people had 
started saying ALL ARR SONGS SOUNDS ALIKE. Of course, those 
listeners had not given enough time for these songs to grow on them to 
understand the difference, but, let's remember that listener is the 
king and the end judge. So, when the Latka Jhatka, maya machindra 
telephone pole Hindi lyrics of Hindustani combined with a music that 
has technical wizardry more than it had melody, listeners didn't feel 
like exploring it at all and rejected that. Since those days, ARR has 
improvised in many ways so that no one now says any bad thing about 
ARR's music.

I think Amit trivedi also has to improvised in similar way. Dev D's 
music was more a comedy. It is not a drawback of Amit, it is just that 
the movie needed such type of music and he has given that. He may be 
having capability to give melodious heart touching songs, but, that is 
yet to be shown. Gulal is an example where compositions were melodious 
heart touching, kudos to Piyush. Amit Trivedi has to do films having 
this genre of music to get taken seriously. currently he is and MD for 
the hip-hop-pop generation.

 He should be given credit for what he's done so far, but should not
 be compared to ARR as ARR is on a different plane altogether in my
 view.

[arr] Rahman's song NaNa shortlisted for Oscar nomination

2010-01-20 Thread A.R.Rajib
   Rahman's song NaNa shortlisted for Oscar nomination
   [image: AR Rahman]
Rahman is a composer with a staggering range

*Indian composer AR Rahman has been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination for
his Tamil song NaNa from the Hollywood film, Couples Retreat.*

The song is vying with 62 others for the nominations which will be revealed
on 2 February.

Rahman won two Oscars, a Bafta and a Golden Globe last year for his
soundtrack to the multi award-winning film, Slumdog Millionaire.

The composer is often called the Mozart of India.

*'Really touched'*

Couples Retreat is a comedy film directed by Peter Billingsley and Rahman
says it is his first mainstream Hollywood movie.

Normally a person who picks up double Oscars, doesn't pick up a comedy
movie. But I thought it would be less pressure to pick up a comedy film,
Rahman told a press conference.

The makers of the movie [actor] Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley
[director] came to me before I had won any of the awards and said they were
moved by my music and it will be an honour to have my music so I felt really
touched and accepted the movie.

The film stars Vince Vaughn and is about five couples who land up in an
island resort.

It's a comedy and the music is kept very low. And they used the song as the
background score, Rahman said.

The good news is that the song NaNa has been shortlisted for the Academy
awards. I don't know whether it will make it, because we didn't go for
promoting it; but that's a good sign.

See .. Even BBC saying NaNa is a Tamil Song ... Do we have problem in our
ears ???

 at first when i heard omana penne, i instantly liked it since it has a simple

 the song and the instrumentations is masterly crafted.
 The simple tune gets intense from about 2:00 and then at 2:09 it changes its 
 mood, then the malayalam bit,everything goes well.
 at the end the nadaswaram was a treat.the highlight moment of the nadaswaram 
 bit was at 4:39.I was blown away by the abrupt transition.

 I found a message number 5221 sent by Kailairajan Kailasanathan on November
 30, 1999 informing uploading Mudhalvan BGM on ARR FTP...

 In that case let's celebrate ( belated ) 10 years of BGM extraction through
 this group in which so many have contributed, Such as Wassim (Kaissom), AJ,
 Vithur, Aravind, Prathap and many such Rahmaniacs ( please excuse me as I
 know I have missed many names )

 We must thank all of them for unwrapping a priceless treasure of Rahman's
 music. Dear BGM team, Thank you !

 I think I have all BGMs collected through this group and listening to these
 BGMs gives a rare insight into the movie and ARR's ability to make the scene
 a memorable one. And they do make a unique mobile phone ring tone !

 THE BEST BGM according to me  SWADES !

Yeah, even I don't like it.

Also, I think more than the language, it's the team that matters more.

That's why most fans have equal expectation for a Tamil or Chinese
album, but the expectation is greater when it comes to a Maniratnam or
Ashutosh G movie - it's the chemistry, the presentation and importance
they give to the music in their movies that make them extra special
for the fans.

  He is talented and has carved out a nice niche for himself. He has
  great potential to be even more successful in the future. He's
  very creative and very innovative. But, is he the next ARR? No,
  not in my opinion.

  His music is intellectually stimulating,
  diverse, and crafty, but so far, from what I've heard in Aamir and
  Dev D, his music does not reach me emotionally much, does not touch
  me deep inside, does not impress me with overall sound, and lacks
  the type of ambiance and soul that I most prefer and appreciate in
  music in general. Just my opinion.

 I share that opinion. Seems that is why I have not included him yet in
 the list of my favs.

 Comedy songs also become hit, technically amazing songs also become
 hit, but what makes a composer beloved of the listeners is thru songs
 that touch the heart of the listeners.

 Bringing this thread back to ARR, there was a time when people had
 started saying ALL ARR SONGS SOUNDS ALIKE. Of course, those
 listeners had not given enough time for these songs to grow on them to
 understand the difference, but, let's remember that listener is the
 king and the end judge. So, when the Latka Jhatka, maya machindra
 telephone pole Hindi lyrics of Hindustani combined with a music that
 has technical wizardry more than it had melody, listeners didn't feel
 like exploring it at all and rejected that. Since those days, ARR has
 improvised in many ways so that no one now says any bad thing about
 ARR's music.

 I think Amit trivedi also has to improvised in similar way. Dev D's
 music was more a comedy. It is not a drawback of Amit, it is just that
 the movie needed such type of music and he has given that. He may be
 having capability to give melodious heart touching songs, but, that is
 yet to be shown. Gulal is an example where compositions were melodious
 heart touching, kudos to Piyush. Amit Trivedi has to do films having
 this genre of music to get taken seriously. currently he is and MD for
 the hip-hop-pop generation.


  He should be given credit for what he's done so far, but should not
  be compared to ARR as ARR is on a different plane altogether in my
  view.

when roja was done,wasn't arr an ameteur...the songs were ameteurish 
too...since every song created a new genre by itself never heard before...so 
they were amateur in the genre...
soo glad that people feel the same after these years

   Theres nothing generic about it. Please go ahead and elaborate which
 portions and how do you think its a lift.
  
   I have on personal grounds promised to award Rs 5000 to anyone who
 proves beyond doubt that the song is a lift.

  The more I listen to VTV, the more I love it and I have listened to this
  album enough times now to confidently state that is it one of ARR's best
  creations ever. Each and every song is special, distinct, unique with the
  entire album flowing so well and having all the trademark ARR magic that I
  hope with each album plus innovation.
 
  VTV...welcome to my ARR top tieryou have joined the ranks of other

  Taal, Dil Se, Lagaan, Alaipayuthey, Sangamam, 1947 Earth, Kannathil M,
