[arr] Re: Your ideal interview question

2010-03-05 Thread Gayathri

This may sound dumb but I really wouldn't want to ask any questions to ARR. As 
it is, there are just way too many questions thrown by the media to him at the 
moment. 
Given a choice, I would really be happy watching ARR chilled out and talking 
about his life, his music and his experience in the film world at his own free 
will, rather than giving brisk answers to questions. 
An interview need not be looked upon in its literal sense. It certainly need 
not be a Q  A session. A lovely chat/talk/discussion (or whatever you may name 
it) would have been wonderful for a change. It leaves a nice impression on the 
interviewerplus, the interviewee has the opportunity to voice out what he 
feels instead of confining himself to the questions asked. And we, as the 
viewers get the opportunity to see a lighter sight of the interviewee himself.

[arr] Ekam Satyam in AR Rahman Jai Ho Concert @ Houston, USA

2010-03-05 Thread Rivjot

http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/rahman-collaboratess-with-creative-director-amy-tinkham

MUMBAI: After a series of concerts in India, and most recently in Australia, A
R Rahman will now be heading to North America as a part of his A.R. Rahman Jai
Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour.

The North American leg of the tour is slated to begin on June 11 at the Nassau
Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., with dates booked through July 3
performance at the Toyota Center in Houston.

For this massive international tour, Rahman is leaving no stone unturned. It is
reported that Rahman is collaborating with creative director Amy Tinkham and
make it both visually and aurally appealing to his international fans.

A well known director/choreographer, Amy Tinkhan is part of McDonald Selznick
Associates (MSA) who represent some of the finest stage directors and
production designers in the business. MSA has so far executed some of the top
grossing tours of all time, including Madonna's 2008 Sticky Sweet Tour (the
highest grossing tour by a female artist in history), Celine Dion's Taking
Chances Tour, Cher's Living Proof Farewell Tour, Michael Jackson's HIStory
Tour, Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/Love Show, and Paul McCartney's Driving
Tour.

According to reports, Rahman's concert in North America will be a theatrical
experience with dance and acrobatics. However, at its core its going to be
Indian. The show will feature changing sets, large images on LED screens and a
spectacular cast of musicians and dancers from across the globe.

The surprises don't end here. The Journey Home World Tour, will also feature
tracks that Rahman was working on with the late Michael Jackson before his
tragic death. In addition to songs from Slumdog Millionaire, fans will also be
treated to his bollywood hits from Lagaan, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Dil Se, Rang
DeBasanti and Roja.

The concert series will be produced by Deepak Gattani, and will travel to over
twenty international arenas including The Forum in Los Angeles, The Patriot
Center in Washington, D.C., American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas and
Wembley Arena and the O2 Arena in London.

Concert will also feature tracks that Rahman was working on with the late
Michael Jackson before his tragic death - OH MY GOD!!! We will finally hear
Ekam Satyam WOOHHOOO.

 After 
proving his mettle with some 
unforgettable 
cop flicks and psycho thrillers Gautham 
Vasudev Menon seemed all set to make 
you 
fall in love, with love. In the end 
however 
you have to say that he has managed to 
do quite the opposite.



Karthik (Silambarasan) an aspiring film 
director, falls head over heals in love 
with Jessie(Trisha) at first sight. The 
problem? He is a Hindu, she is a 
conservative 
Malayali Christian, she has a job and 
is settled while he is still at the 
crossroads 
of life, trying to find a footing in 
cinema, 
having given up his studies already and 
to top it all she is a year older than 
him.



Despite having a great recipe for a 
classic 
romantic flick Gautham gets it all 
wrong. 
For starters this movie is a big time 
overdose of romance with very few 
enjoyable 
moments that you would like to relive 
over and over again. The initial 
sequences 
between the lead pair seem so 
artificial 
and contrary to the voiceovers Karthik 
gives at many points during the film. 
There is no real chemistry between 
them, 
at least for most part. It may be safe 
to blame the writing for this which 
summed 
up in one word is, unimaginative.



To 
top that there is nothing innovative 
about 
the script and the meandering 
screenplay 
just makes things worse. After a point 
in time the movie becomes so much of an 
ordeal and a test of patience 
that you manage to easily look 
through
