Hi chord, Happy you brought this topic.. Yes, I was surprised that AR missed VB's name. But it was just that he forgot. They do have lot of respect for each other. For ex, when RDB got the film fare for best music, AR said 'My favourite album of the year is OMKARA'. So I am sure both share great respect for each other. Hope I dont start a regional war by saying these. I just felt while watching filmfares, bollywood treats AR better than Kollywood/tamil film industry does. I loved the ovation they gave in film fares this yr and last yr,SRK's speech, Karan Johar's speech last year. Wonderful and so happy at the respect they give for our AR. In tamil, they either hesitate to praise AR, of if they do they ensure they praise another MD equally ( no names ), and few want to drag him into conterversies. What not?

[arr] Rahman to write autobiography?
Rahman to write autobiography? Oscar winning music director A.R. Rahman will pen his experiences starting fromRoja (his debut film) to the yet-to-be released Mani Ratnam's Raavan. Reportedly the book will be of a coffee table kind and will also contain photos of about 300 singers with comments from the Mozart of Madras. Rahman began composing film music with Mani Ratnam's Roja (Tamil) in 1992 after assisting Tamil film maestro Ilaiyaraja for nearly a decade. He was awarded the Rajat Kamal award for Best Music Director at the National Film Awards for the film, the first time ever for a debut composer and after that, his career has shown an ever-increasing upward trend. Roja was also listed in TIME's Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time. Rahman went on to win the National Award three more times, for his scores for Minsaara Kanavu in 1997,Lagaan in 2002 and Kannathil Muthamittal, the most ever by any composer. And he has won the Filmfare Award 25 times! http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/id/Rahman_to_write_his_book_36556.html __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[arr] Veer director snaps up Rahman deal!
AR Rahman continues to scale new heights. The music maestro has sold his three finale shows (Manchester on 23 July, Birmingham on 24 July, London on 25 July) of his forthcoming world tour to begin in June for a whopping Rs 10 crore (approximately). Vijay Galani, producer of the Salman Khan starrer Veer, has bought the three shows. The deal was finalised last week in Mumbai. Galani refused to quote the price but confirmed that he has bought the three shows. “Yes, I have purchased the finale shows of AR Rahman's concert and I am looking forward to the big occasion,” said Galani. But didn't Galani suffer huge losses in Veer? Galani replied, “Veer and AR Rahman concerts are two different things altogether. What has Veer got do with this?” A close friend of Galani confirmed that the Veer producer has indeed bought the three shows to be held in Birmingham, Manchester and London for Rs 10 crore. Galani's friend said, “Though in practice, the deal has been struck for Rs 10 crore, Vijay Galani Rahman will bear the cost of lights, sound effects, editing and the maintenance of his big team throughout the shows.” “AR Rahman has a big fan following wherever he goes. Galani will earn a lot through these shows. It's a very good business deal,” added Galani's friend. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/music/Veer-director-snaps-up-Rahman-deal/articleshow/5689262.cms

Re: [arr] Review of VTV Lyrics (Average). What's your opinion ???
The lyrics are perfect fit for the movie.. Lyrics should reflect the mood of the movie and it happened very well in VTV.. This is the second time, Thamarai is working with ARR.. She worked in Thenali for Injarungo and had won a Tamilnadu State Award for Best Lyricist. On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 2:35 PM, jayram m.n jayram...@yahoo.com wrote: I admire and enjoy some of the good songs written by Thamarai. She has given some memorable pieces like Suttum Velli Sudarey from Ghagni, Kangal irandal from Subramanyapuram and so many others. The list is pretty long. But my overall impression is that the lyrics in VTV was kind of average lyrics (or below average). (1) Hosanna and Ommna Penne - Both these songs can be remembered without any lyrics, because of the catchy tune, main tag-word selected for the songs. (2) Vinnaithaandi varuvaya and Manipaaya - Better lyrics with good flow of words in both these songs. Definitely promising. (3) Anbil Avan : Okay lyrics (most of the lyrics consists of rehashed marriage oaths which is a cool idea). (4) Kannukul Kannai : Sounds more like a dialogue rather than a poem. (4) Since I don't understand Malayalam, I cannot say much about Aromale lyrics. But from the translation that appeared in this forum, the lyrics sounds quite impressive and imaginative. She has definitely struggled to write the songs for VTV. Perhaps she needs to work more with ARR Sir to understand his style of composition and tunes to give much better lyrics. Sorry for being little bit harsh with my review, but I expect more memorable lyrics Thamarai (especially with ARR Sir).

He promises listeners a variety of flavours in his numbers, taking Punjabi music to another level. Overwhelmed by the fact that he was working with personalities like Gurdaas Maan and Juhi Chawla, Jaidev cannot thank them enough for their support. *Who do you think is the best music director in the industry?* A. R. Rahman, undoubtedly. I admire the way his music speaks to the listener. He gives music and lyrics a different perspective, creating a mood that surprises even the most seasoned listener. What makes him special is the purity in his music. In comparison, I am a little fish in a big pond, and cannot imagine comparing myself to the big fish, like A. R.

Bharathi Raja - A R Rahman duo may have given many timeless classics, but for me, Taj Mahal stands as tall as the Taj Mahal monument! Taj Mahal was originally planned to have a totally urbanite modern saga as its plot..but Bharathi Raja, with his proven rural,rustic themes, made a U turn and chose to make it as another village based story! He launched his own son Manoj in the lead role along with the very raw, young Riya Sen. Somehow the chemistry never worked between these two and the film's fate turned turtle at the box office..! Nevertheless, it could boast of possessing one of the world's best musicians magical scores..! Thiruppachhi Aruvaala | Palghat Sriram, Chandran, Clinton Cerejo, Kalpana Belonging to the league of Adrenalin pumping, high spirited, aggressive songs of ARR, Thiruppachhi Aruvaala ignites some of our deep buried anguishes. If you give a deep ear towards the instruments in the initial moments of the song, you feel shell shocked..! ARR dwells just with a basic beats rhythm coming out from that basic drums which you see in your everyday life on the streets in the hands of local help seekers! Giving company to these drum beats are the cool whistles blown by probably ARR himself! The singers ooze out aggressiveness in their full throated rendition. Palghat Sreeram is one of those able singers, whom this world should take notice of! He,along with Chandran,brings in the perfect attitude required for the song. Another unnoticed singer Kalpana haunts with her lower octaves lines, particularly in the lines where she makes fun of the male.Clinton Cerejo,provides able support in the second interlude with some wierd western lyrics!! ARR surprises us with some western vintage beats in the second interlude. Total Energy booster..!!! Adi Manja Kizhange | Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, Feju, Kanchana Short and Sweet All-Female , fun filled song!! ARR has constantly belted out the all-woman songs since his Kaadhalan days (Indirayo Ival Sundariyo) to the latest Gendha Phool. Adi Manja Kizhange offers some fun and happy moments both audically and visually! Again ARR goes with a single Rhythm pattern of basic drums with some vague female hummings interlaced. Hats off to all those aforementioned 4 harmony singers who have been with ARR since his Roja days..! It seems like ARR created such a song only to thank them for this long association. ! Kizhakke Nandavanam | Theni Kunjarammal, Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, Feju,Kanchana The same harmony singers continue their spell, but this time in the company of the most unusually sounding singer in ARR's career of songs ever...Theni Kunjarammal. .!!! Everytime this old woman croons for ARR, the song gets its own undefined charm!! She starts the song by calling out the names of many women Machhakanni, Mayyilkunju. .. which are absolutely hilarious to hear!!!ARR offers a very light hearted comic effect composition with some funny beats..! The awesome foursome singers then start their lines with same zeal and keep up the mood strong!! Never miss to hear the minute murmurings of Theni Kunjarammal...Adi Vaadi Aathi...:D Echi Elumichi 1 | Manoj, Rahib, Arundhati Echi Elumichi 2 | Krishnaraj, Rahib, Arundhati First Interlude VEENA | Parthasarathy Second Interlude FLUTE | Naveen Welcome to The Alps, The Himalayas, The Savvanas and almost all scenic isolated hilly and scenic places of the world!!!.

[arr] Earth song
Earth song Posted: Sunday , Mar 14, 2010 at 1558 hrs ** [image: Singer] s *One of the most versatile singers in the Hindi film industry is finally getting heard. Rekha Bhardwaj on her journey so far.* *When Delhi 6 director Rakeysh Mehra first heard Rekha Bhardwaj sing, he told her husband, film-maker Vishal Bhardwaj, “Aise lagta hai jaise 400 saal purani aawaz sun rahein hain (it seems as if we are listening to a 400-year-old voice).” The reticent AR Rahman promised Rekha a solo song because he didn’t “want to waste” her in a chorus song.* Such accolades are hard to come by in showbiz. But they do to Bhardwaj—she of the soothing voice and earthy notes. Be it the sensuous Namak from Omkara, the raw Phoonk de (No Smoking), the harkats of Ehi thaiyaa motiya (Laga Chunari Mein Daag), the mischief of Genda phool or the seductive Raat ke dhai baje (Kaminey), Bhardwaj is on a song. But when we catch up with her on a busy morning, music is far from her mind. Her 14-year-old son, Aasman, wants to know the exact date when he had chicken pox and typhoid so that he can fill an admission form. The cook wants to know what to make for “sir.” A minute’s discussion reveals that her film-maker husband will be having “dalia and moong dal” for lunch while for the rest of his crew who are in the office for a meeting will be served “aloo palak and bhurji.” * *http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?sa=lai=BkvdJOdmfS9SpDJ7LjQfdhpmbDYW6jaYBx7KtsgzAjbcB8KIEEAMYAyCCndYMKAM4AFDuxtCEB2AzoAH9tt_5A7IBFXd3dy5pbmRpYW5leHByZXNzLmNvbboBCjMwMHgyNTBfYXPIAQHaATVodHRwOi8vd3d3LmluZGlhbmV4cHJlc3MuY29tL25ld3MvZWFydGgtc29uZy81OTAwOTIvMIACAagDAegD0QToA-gC6AOQBPUDRAnum=3sig=AGiWqtywK0kDuZ9-q2IlD0_m3s7BN_j0Wwclient=ca-pub-9517772455344405adurl=http://airplay.jango.com/%3Fsource%3Dgoogle_int “No matter how successful you become, household chores never leave you,” says Bhardwaj, who takes her home as seriously as her songs. And even though she admits she’s “managing only 2.5 hours of riyaaz when she should be doing four hours”, she doesn’t regret playing wife and mother. “I love to cook. Vishal says that when I cook, he doesn’t fall ill,” she says. But when she’s recording, she “switches off” from the world. Bhardwaj’s songs may have only recently become popular but her tryst with music began when she was a child. “My father was very keen that my sister and I learn classical music. We didn’t cut cakes on birthdays, we used to have baithaks where we were encouraged to sing thumris, ghazals or bandish,” she says. At the age of 12, she enrolled at the Gandharva Mahavidyala and studied under the tutelage of Pandit Amar Nath who advised her to eat well for you need “strength for your voice to come out”. Later, she graduated in music from Delhi’s Hindu College. The learning is still on. In fact, she’s looking forward for a trip to Delhi so that she could spend “five days in learning” from the seniormost disciple of her deceased guru, Amarjeet Kaur. She also inspired her husband to pursue music seriously. “Vishal had a film background as his father was a lyricist but he wasn’t serious about his music and was hell-bent on becoming a cricketer. He used to write ghazals whereas I was the star of the college,” she says. A comment by her on his ghazal writing skills was conveyed to him by a common friend at college, motivating him to learn about music. “He decided to learn music so that he could impress me,” she says. It was now Vishal’s turn to inspire his wife to sing professionally. On her husband’s insistence and Gulzar’s encouragement, Bhardwaj released her Sufi-inspired album, Ishqa Ishqa in 2004. Though it got critical acclaim, Bhardwaj didn’t get a single call for work. “I think people had this misconception that I will only sing for my husband,” she says. Music director Shamir Tandon was one of the first ones to offer her a song for the film, Red Swastik. Vishal, of course, had used her voice in films like Jahan Tum Le Chalo, Maqbool and Chachi 420. But the big hit was still elusive. “Vishal would say that it’ll all change the day he comes up with a melancholic, soulful song.” That was Namak. And the rest is history. Bhardwaj though had almost backed out from singing it. “Vishal’s pressure and the variations in the composition scared me. I backed out. Vishal played the recording of the rehearsal to me. That gave me confidence,” she recalls. *That confidence is now reaping more hits. Her songs have earned her a cult following. She tells us of a man in Delhi who’s so enamoured by Genda phool that he has started a business of distributing marigold seeds. “He wants me to come to Delhi to inaugurate it. It’s like a Genda phool movement,” she says.* *She attributes her current fan following to Rahman, whom she admires so much that she “couldn’t sleep the night before I met him and even bought a new kurta for the meeting”. “I found that so strange about myself but then it’s Rahman”, she says.* Though she loves music, she’s not too

i have clearly stated there its is not soulful in my definition. Lets put it this way. These are some of the soulful songs from ARR for me, u may compare them with Delhi 6 songs and see why i do not view them as what u do : 1.Anjali - Duet 2.Kannake Mai Azhagu - Pudhiya Mugam 3.En Uyir Tozhiye - KKS 4.Sonnalum - Kadhal Virus 5.Hawa Sun Hawa - Ada 6.Ennavale - Kadhalan 7.Marghali - Sangamam 8.Tu Muskura - Yuvvraaj 9.Hosanna - VTV 10.Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahan - Kisna 11.Kadhalenum - Kadhalar Dhinam and ofcource the list can go on, but these r the 1 strike my mind for now. For me, the songs of d6 r just not in the caliber of these songs. But im happy its a hit for ARR and it has hit the right chords for many, good for him and for u too.

Re: [arr] Fought with friend â Teach him
As an AR fan learn 2 things AR is an ambassador of peace and music is his medium. Dont let or indulge yourself where a debate can turn unhealthy circumstances or fight. Debating is always good as long as both parties are benefitted with knowledge from each other. And coming to a purest Carnatic composition from AR I dont think he has done it neither has any other MD where the substance is a film music of recent times. One has to resort to what is called as mishr formation and AR is very clever in doing it which many sarcastically call it cunning way. The result is half the people enjoy it and the other half who analyse finds his genius hidden. What AR many times does it extracts (exploits) the blend of a raag and carefully fuses it with other and this can be done by the only who are well versed and have every raag in their mind always. And let your friend know that to sustain himself at the peak for so long in an industry at time where there are thousands of music directors are available requires ability and its not just luck that supports. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Kali Dasan kalidasan_arr_...@... wrote: Thank you all for responding me.                       We (me, my fiend) always have debate on politicians, actors even on my favorite actor KamalHasan I wont mind⦠ But this time on my (sorry our) rahman.

[arr] Re: Currently, rank order these ARR albums.
agreed, new kind from ARR and ofcource in general. Masakalli had a very special twist in the song, something unusual but gripping and catchy. This song stands out clearly, no doubt. I do not wish 2 comments on other songs, as i dont want to hurt the feelings of the lovers of the song and create a huge war here. Already known enough there are some very 'well mannered' members around with extremely 'polite' manner to express their view. Anyhow, Yuvvraaj, VTV, ADA were albums of gold. Each seconds of the songs in the album spells magic really well for me. Esp VTV and Ada. All the songs were made out of gold.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra performs the works of the celebrated Indian film composer A R Rahman on April 07, 2010. This unique concert will feature the first ever orchestral performance of many of his best-known works. After winning two Academy Awards for Best Song and Best Score for the film `Slumdog Millionaire' in 2009 A R Rahman's music is transcending all barriers across the globe. A R Rahman will attend the event and speak about his work during the concert, as well as taking part in a question and answer session after the concert. So all you Londonwalas, wait for the ARR magic to begin on April 07.
Re: [arr] Royal Festival Hall THE MUSIC OF AR RAHMAN
I bought tickets for this event on the 19th of February (same day as it was opened to the public as I wanted to get good seats) in the hope that I would see AR perform with LPH. But only found out yesterday that I was wrong and that he'd be part of the audience instead. My humble request is that more information about events such as these should probably be advertised/announced officially on Rahman's website a bit earlier, given that the event tickets were open about a month ago. More transparency on such events would certainly be useful, I feel. Not sure if anyone who's part of the website development team is inthis group but just wanted to put my thoughts across on this one. It would not have changed my decision on buying the ticket but I wouldn't have got as excited as I did in the hope that AR would conduct the LPH or even play an instrument. But nevertheless, I look forward to this one. I doubt they would let us record anything inside the theatre unfortunately. --- On Tue, 16/3/10, wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in wrote: From: wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in Subject: Re: [arr] Royal Festival Hall THE MUSIC OF AR RAHMAN To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 16 March, 2010, 6:51 Whoa!..man this is going to be a heavenly experience.

Vijay Prakash hopes for brighter innings in 2010 By: Harpreet Khokhar17 Mar 10 15:20 IST [image: image]http://www.radioandmusic.com/sites/radioandmusic.com/files/images/56e372895c6154c866da4f8bd65ba628.jpg Vijay Prakash hopes for brighter innings in 2010 MUMBAI: Vijay Prakash has been contributing to the Bollywood music scene for close to a decade now and is slowly but steadily making his presence felt. Hailing from a musicians' family in Mysore, the singer was exposed to Carnatic classical music from an early age. I was exposed to Carnatic music for the initial 20 years of my life. But then there was an urge to explore myself in different genres. I wanted to move out and test my skills on a wider spectrum. The singer came to Mumbai and joined Suresh Wadkar as his student in 1996 to learn Hindustani Classical music. In 1999, Prakash took part in the Zee TV music reality show Saregama Challenge then hosted by Sonu Nigaam then, where he was the mega finalist. It was a good platform to let yourself be known to the world, he says. Prakash has lent his voice for over 3000 jingles for several top jingle music directors including Leslie Lewis, Salim Sulaiman and several voice overs. But it is difficult to give justice to your talent in the 30-40 second jingle, says Prakash who has also sung for the background score of movies like Main Hoon Na, Tere Naam, Krrish and some 40 other films. The singer whose debut film was Baag for music director Ismail Darbar, got his big break came when A R Rahman roped him to sing for Swades. He then went on to sing for various music directors including Shankar Ehsaan Loy. My full fledged solo song was for Illayaraja for Cheeni Kum. All the songs I had sung prior to this included multiple singers and I dint get noticed. But nevertheless, it was a good experience working with such talented people. The singer also got noticed for the raga based track Manmohini in Rahman's Yuvraaj. Prakash has also released 10-12 spiritual albums with Times Music before his big moment of glory came with Oscar winning track 'Jai ho' for which he mouthed the powerful words. The singer's moment of glory I am greatful to Rahman sir for giving me the break. After the song became such a hit I have been offered to judge various reality shows in south and have also bagged few projects down there. The singer is hopeful that 2010 will help him bag plum projects in the industry. I am hoping to bag good solo projects in the year, adds Prakash. http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/vijay-prakash-hopes-brighter-innings-2010 -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~

It was a beginning that frankly I never dreamt of. A.R.Rahman graciously accepted my request to handover the first copy of the music cd, squeezing in time from his packed schedule. I’m ever greatful to A.R.Rahman sir for inspiring and guiding me all through my career of music. This launch means a lot to our entire team who has worked hard for the album, the musicians, singers, recordists, engineers, studio facilitators, producer and a visionary director. The music and the background score for the film has been designed with a very raw and rustic soundscape. Lolalamay, a soft number rendered by Preeti Pillai is already scaling the music charts, and currently is the most requested song on music channels. The other songs on the album, especially the one sung by Indrajith is gaining popularity, and should work well for him after the film releases. An art and action film, it stars Indrajith in the lead and is directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery. The music and original background score is scored by Prashant Pillai. The album features 7 songs which features debutant Preeti Pillai, the films lead Indrajith, and Renjini Jose. The audio is out on Manorama Music.

Re: [arr] Re: Currently, rank order these ARR albums.
Alright guys, having seen so many responses, I also had to pool in my thoughts. I have also tried to give one highlight about each album from my perspective. 1) Delhi 6 - Excellent spread of variety. Arziyan is so soulful, only bettered by Kwaja ji ! 2) Jodha Akbar - brillant fusion of contemporary sound with old world tunes. Khwaja ji is the most devotional song I have ever heard. 3) Slumdog Millionaire - given the movie context, amazing work. Dreams on fire still rings in my head. 4) VTV - Brilliantly romantic ! 5) Jaane Tu - Brilliantly romantic again ! 6) Ghajini - Very contemporary sound. Kaise mujhe still pricks ones heart with the love pain. 7) Couple's Retreat - ARRs first fusion for a Hollywood mainstream movie.

Re: [arr] Royal Festival Hall THE MUSIC OF AR RAHMAN
Understandable but that does not take away anything from the event..it's going to be one of it's kind and there's a q n a with ar post that Sent from my iPhone On 17-Mar-2010, at 16:51, Indmov Buff indmovb...@yahoo.com wrote: I bought tickets for this event on the 19th of February (same day as it was opened to the public as I wanted to get good seats) in the hope that I would see AR perform with LPH. But only found out yesterday that I was wrong and that he'd be part of the audience instead. My humble request is that more information about events such as these should probably be advertised/announced officially on Rahman's website a bit earlier, given that the event tickets were open about a month ago. More transparency on such events would certainly be useful, I feel. Not sure if anyone who's part of the website development team is inthis group but just wanted to put my thoughts across on this one. It would not have changed my decision on buying the ticket but I wouldn't have got as excited as I did in the hope that AR would conduct the LPH or even play an instrument. But nevertheless, I look forward to this one. I doubt they would let us record anything inside the theatre unfortunately. --- On Tue, 16/3/10, wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in wrote: From: wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in Subject: Re: [arr] Royal Festival Hall THE MUSIC OF AR RAHMAN To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 16 March, 2010, 6:51 Whoa!..man this is going to be a heavenly experience.
