[arr] Rahman’s midnight melody

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Rahman’s midnight melody

The composer worked overnight to record a special song; he performed it
live, much to Mani Ratnam’s delight

*By Mauli Singh*
*Posted On Monday, April 26, 2010 at 04:28:58 AM*

At the recent music release of Raavan, everybody was taken in by a soulful
rendition of a song, Jaa re udd jaa re, by AR Rahman.


Penned by fellow Oscar winner Gulzar, most of the audience present for the
music release of Raavan assumed it was part of the CD given out that evening
- but it wasn’t. Even Mani Ratnam wasn’t aware that Rahman would be singing
the song.

A source from the unit reveals, “The song that Rahman performed live was an
absolutely last minute inclusion. Rahman and Mani share a special bond that
goes beyond their professional association. Rahman has given music for all
of Mani’s films and even sung in a couple like Dil Se and Guru. Mani was
very keen to have Rahman sing in Raavan.” Which he did, eventually.

But the song itself hadn’t been set to music. So Rahman burnt the midnight
oil to give Mani a musical surprise. The night before the launch, Rahman
closeted himself in his Mumbai studio and worked through the night to
compose the song. In the wee hours, he recorded it in his voice.

The source adds that the final CD of the track did not contain the song, and
the entire team of Raavan, including director Mani Ratnam, heard it for the
first time at the launch. The song may be included at a later stage.

[arr] 10 things that make 'Raavan' a landmark album

[pravindersheoran]

Hi all,

You may argue its a bit too early to state the album as a landmark,
but in my mind there is no doubt about it.

Here we go:

1. First and foremost reason, with Raavan ARR has returned to his old days and 
ways; Hard music, experimental beats, free flow of melody and so forth. Its 
similar to the way Sachin Tendulkar has returned to the way he used to bat in 
early years of his career. 

2. Each and every song has potential to be a big hit. By saying that I don't 
mean its because they are catchy and crowd pleaser (like JTYJN), its because 
they are so raw, energetic and unique that even a dumb listener will be moved 
while listening.

3. Third big reason is the attention to detail. Everyone knows the fact that 
each and every ARR song has great attention to detail, all the small 
instruments are always at perfect place and so forth. However, some of you will 
agree with me that in Raavan, ARR has begun where he stops in other recent 
songs. Last 2 albums I can think of, which had such great attention to detail, 
were Meenaxi and Taal.

4. Forth reason is the creative freedom taken in each and every song. Believe 
me guys, how many composers can create a like song like Beera and then 
experiment this way with it. Another example is 'Ranjha ranjha, how different 
are the beats from the melody and mood of the song. 

5. Another big reasons is that this album is DIFFERENT in different ways. 
singer selection is different, even Sukhwinder sings differently in 'Thok de 
killi'. The music is far different than what's popular theses days. Its like 
cool breeze that you need on a hot summer day in desert. 

6. Nothing is overdone. There is no effort visible to make any of the songs a 
chart buster. ARR has not compromised anything at all with quality of album and 
has delivered what he wanted, at least i think so. I think it is mainly because 
its Mani Sir's movie and ARR feel like at home.

7. The album arouses the thirst for more in the listener. Those guitars in 
every song (esp. Thok de killi) leave you wanting for more while still giving 
you imense pleasure. 

8. In Raavan, ARR does it again what he does best i.e. Fusion. Take example of 
'Katta katta, its fusion of heavy beats, sounth Indian style melody, Rajasthani 
folk music.

9. Raavan comes as a complete combo of all elements. Superb lyrics, great 
singing performances, good sound quality, beautiful music arrangement and so 
forth. Everything seems to have gone right for the album.

10. You write it.

Pravinder.

Re: [arr] My "Unconventional" Review of Raavan's Music

[vedavid manick]

from what i have heard thus far (did not get get the CD yet as I live in the 
Caribbean) people are talking avbout various African infuences. But the sounds 
I hear remind me of Cambodia, where the Hindu empire once expanded to and to 
this day, the Ramayana is a major part of folklore and dance as far down as 
Bali in Indonesia.
 
Perhaps it depends on what we associate the songs with.

Uh E E E Oh..Uh E E E Oh..oho ho ho ho ho..

..as soon as I heard these sounds as the first few seconds of "Beera" 
rolled on, I knew from the get-go that this album would be a very interesting 
music journey. but then again, which ARR album is not an interesting 
journey, whether it fits your musical fancy or not?

I've been listening to the music of Raavan pretty much non stop for a few days 
now and as I came to thinking about how my review would shape up, it occurred 
to me that a full song by song review as I have penned earlier just didn't seem 
apt for an album like this, especially for such an unconventional score and 
that too so soon after the release. I also feel that Raavan's musical strength 
and identity lies more in the album as a whole than as a collection of 
individual songs. I also feel I have formed enough of a solid opinion on the 
album as a whole to write at least something of substance. Will my thoughts and 
opinions change with time from this point on? In the past, this usually never 
happened what I have felt about an album a few days after its release 
after multiple listens usually stayed firm over the course of time, although my 
feelings for individual songs may fluctuate with time. A song by song review 
for this album has been stated
 already elsewhere and will be seen quite a bit in the coming days, so I 
thought. ..been there... done that...let' s take a different 
approach this time..shall we?

Some things never change.. ..or maybe.the more things change, the more 
they stay the same? I wonder about these sayings. .and then think about 
Rahman and his music. What has changed with Rahman over time? What has remained 
constant with his output over the years ever since Roja? I think I can get into 
some intellectual back and forth about this to no end and have full debates 
with many of you here, but here's one aspect about Rahman that has remained 
constant from the very beginning:

Rahman Keeps Experimenting.

Sure, you know that..I know that...most hard fans of ARR know this, but 
do some of you who pine for the "90s Rahman" to return realize that his current 
success domestically and internationally (oodles of awards, praises, Padma 
Bhushan) is because he looks forwards and not backwards? He is a man of the 
moment.. attempting to reinvent himself with every project and being 
careful not to trip over his own ego, literally, wanting to destroy any trace 
of good feelings related to previous successes, clearing the slate for the new 
movie, new director, new story. 

Rahman is like a "mad" scientist ("mad" meant to convey a good quality, not a 
bad one) in his own musical world..thinking , thinking, thinking ..out 
of the box, beyond current norms, stretching the limits of imagination and 
creativity through his work, yet very respectful towards the art form and the 
industry establishment and rules surrounding the need to make music that only 
fits the script and the director's vision.. like a free painter within a 
very solid frame that he knows he's not supposed to go beyond. But, some frames 
are larger than others, and within those larger frames, Rahman has more wiggle 
room to be a bit more wild, more like the mad musical scientist that he really 
is, that is just craving to burst forth. Mani Ratnam has always been one of 
those directors who provides a pretty large canvass and/or frame for Rahman to 
stretch his musical brain so to speak.

Raavan's music as a whole is a great example of unconventionality in today's 
film music time, with bridges extending forth connecting various genres of 
music, such as heavy rock to traditional Indian folk, electronic to African 
rhythms and tribal moods, semi classical to trance, etc. Although these 
unconventional bridges are not new to Rahman's style of music, Raavan's 
soundtrack displays these connectors in much less subtle and unpredictable form 
than his most recent works, such as Delhi 6 or VTV, which is perhaps keeping 
fit with the character of the movie, Raavan, who with ten heads/minds and being 
"wild" and "unpredictable" as quoted by Aishwarya Rai at the music launch.

each of his albums as distinct points in a larger journey, connected only by 
the listeners' memories and expectations.single album entities within a 
larger musical and spiritual journey that is entirely Rahman's, but yet 
witness-able to us, those who follow him closely. I think it's reasonable to 
rate each album on a conventionality continuum plot with highly traditional on 
one end and radical on another.  For example, Thiruda Thiruda would be closer 
to the radical side, while Jaane Tu Ya

Hi Rawat,
You've done really wonderfull job in translating the song.
Thanks for the hard work there.
The only 2 minor corrections I can suggest are as follows:

shart lagi hai mar jaane ki
(a wager has been put to die)
jeena hai to pyaar me
(I shall only live in love)

beh gaya beh gaya
(has flown, has flown)
jo rah gaya rah gaya

[arr] Re: use of electric guitar in raavan

[AJ]

I think you're right on, Ram.  The electric guitar gives a very menacing, raw, 
punchy/masculine feel/mood to the song, which is probably reflective of the 
character/emotion/intent in that song as part of the larger theme and plot.  
Here again is a good example of using sound to convey a feeling or mood, which 
ARR is the best at.  And yes, I haven't heard as many electric guitar sounds in 
an ARR album as I have for this one.  It's interesting for sure.   

The loud/edgy sounds in this album won't be to everyone's liking and some may 
find parts to be too loud and rough.  With the film visuals, if done well, some 
of these songs will find more takers at that time.

Re: [arr] VTV & National Awards// Sharing my thoughts

[Thulasi Ram]

VTV is sheer perfection. when i heard the BGMs recently, i was spell bound
with them. fantastic. entire music creation of VTV is beautiful. well done.
having said that, bearing in mind that national awards are almost always
unpredictable, i wud be surprised if there is atleast a jury member who is
cognizant enough to recognize the brilliance of ARRs music in VTV. however,
i think Aaromale song and Alphons cud b a strong contenders.

[arr] Re: VTV & National Awards// Sharing my thoughts

[vimaljk]

though I am cynical about awards in general...i'd love to see VTV win every 
award it can.it really is one of those special albums in ARR's career and a 
def. benchmark of his musical evolution and innovation...i think (as much as 
possible) ARR/Sony/Gautham should try and get some international exposure to 
the songs (reworking them in english, etc.) cuz they have the potential to be 
worldwide phenoms..

[arr] use of electric guitar in raavan

[Ram Motipally]

Friends,

I think this is the album where boss has used electric guitar to the
maximum, in atleast 2-3 songs. Atleast this is my uneducated guess. Wonder
if it is to give a edgy and dark feel to the music given it revolves around
a dark/ferocious character. What think group ?

[arr] Appeal for peace, tolerance and love !

[Ram Motipally]

Friends,

Too much is going on with Raavan's music release and comments henceforth.
Let me please appeal for peace and calm.

Remember that what brings all of us here (love for ARR) is much stronger
than what divides us (individual opinion). For the guys who dont yet like
the music, please be considerate that many of the fans are loving it and
being harsh in your judgement will only hurt them. To the ones who love the
music, please be considerate that some might not yet be there and deserve a
little bit of patience and caring help. Strong words have never convinced
anyone or helped anyone make a  better case.

Let us all enjoy the music and this fan group without getting at each other.
Between love and hate - always choose love(some great soul said that...)

Rgds,
Ram

PS: This makes me feel like a politician appealing for peace etc. ;-)

Re: [arr] Raavan, a soundtrack for the headphones?

[Prabhu Rajagopal]

Agree 100%. The bass elements on my sound system are very much enjoyable,
but, to give the example of Khilli Re or Thok De Khilli, they are full with
small electronic sounds playing between left and right phones.. So I find it
thoroughly more fun listening in phones too!

[arr] VTV & National Awards// Sharing my thoughts

[dreamspringmelodies]

ARR seems to have raised the quality and standard of background scoring to a 
very high level with VTV. I did feel the same when I was watching the movie 
Guru [Hindi]. Hope we can expect a couple of awards for BG scoring of this 
movie, esp. the national awards. 

I also felt Aromalle song is the essence of the movie and without it; the movie 
[the script] is not complete. Hope this song gets best song and best singer 
awards for this year

what do you guys think ? 

K. M. Ameer

[arr] Raavan

[Chander]

Guys,

This album as usual has hit the right chords.

Hooked to a few songs.

I thought Beera was too short,but long enough to create the magic.

On the whole the album is cool and different.

Cheers

Re: [arr] Jaa Re Ud Ja Re - Raavan Unreleased Song

[V S Rawat]

Thanks for pointing me to that. I don't remember having heard it before.

However, I would not think it is a "song" as such. It is a piece of 
background music the way it features here. If anyone knows that this 
full song was recorded, please share information, and if possible the 
song too.

[arr] Raavan music unveiled amid performances by Abhishek Bachchan, AR Rahman

*Mumbai: *Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman's much awaited music for *Raavan* was
unveiled in Mumbai last night amid spirited performances by Abhishek
Bachchan and AR Rahman among others.
  
 


 The highlight of the event was Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, draped in a cream
colour saree with red embroidery, as the host to introduce the film.

One of the songs of the film 'Beera Beera'launched last week as a teaser has
already created a buzz. Lyricist Gulzar and director Mani Ratnam also
attended the music launch.

Recalling her experiences working on the film, Aishwarya said Mani Ratnam
had given her a fair idea of his *Raavan *concept while shooting for
*Guru *three
years ago.

"For the song 'Nanna re', I was dancing in full abundance in the rain.
Little did I know that Mani was in the process of
making a decision, that I will be his new character Ragini for*Raavan*," she
said.

Aishwarya said as Mani narrated *Raavan *to her, she was hooked on. "What is
unique about Mani is that he draws you in his world through the narration,"
she said adding that Ragini is a unique woman and a strong character which
she personally can relate to.

"This is the most challenging role of my career," Aishwarya said. Aishwarya
said Mani Ratnam was as real as he could get in*Raavan *and her look in the
film was not that of a typical heroine.

"We shot with snakes, rabbits, leeches moving around us. This has been the
best adventure experience", she said.

Speaking about shooting in two different languages back to back, the former
Miss World felt dealing with languages is a challenging task and keeps one's
faculties charged up.

Tamil star Vikram, who makes his debut in Bollywood with*Raavan*, said
playing Dev in Hindi *Raavan *and the title roleof*Raavan *in the tamil
version was challenging and tricky.

Clearing all speculations that all was not well between him and Abhishek
during the making of the film, Vikram said Abhishek was the most witty,
charming and co-operative co-star he has ever worked with. "AB is a live
wire," he said.

Abhishek said Mani Ratnam had given a boost to his career whenever it was on
a down slide. "As an actor, Mani helps me
to behave badly and get away with it," he said.

The actor made it clear that *Raavan *was not inspired or based on the epic
Ramayan. "*Raavan *is a contemporary film. Every film of ours always has
little bit of history and mythology and it is wrong to say that the film is
inspired or based on them," he said.

Abhishek said the theme "dus sir wale" in the film was to highlight the ten
different personalities and facets of his character Beera. "He is wild and
unpredictable," he said.

Re: [arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought - I've had it!!!!!!

[pratap]

Dude, I was being sarcastic. I enjoyed most of AR's work in the past 5 years. I 
don't blindly say 
each song by AR is good. I did not like some of it, but mostly I did. I don't 
expect AR to give me what I want each time. And I don't give him orders on what 
he should do either. I feel really sad for you that you were unable to enjoy 
AR's last 5 years of work.  I hope you will develop the ability to enjoy good 
music soon.

No offense intended, Just slightly frustrated...

All the best:)

Re: [arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought - I've had it!!!!!!

[Indmov Buff]

Taimu Bhai,

I am not sure what went wrong with Raavan for you, given that you really 
enjoyed Thiruda Thiruda. But I think Thiruda Thiruda , Dil Se etc were huge 
because they were miles ahead of their times. When I listen to Thiruda Thiruda 
today, I still find it hard to believe that these sounds came from AR more than 
15 years ago.15 years! But Raavan, for me is a completely different package. 
It's got its' own trademark. Don't give up on it now.  you never know, it might 
be that soundtrack that you will find yourself utterly in love with in a couple 
of weeks' time. Because if you liked TT, you will like this. The power in Kata 
kata is similar to the power in Veerapandiya Kotaiyile. One of many things that 
I can draw parallels to. So keep listening, Taimur.Your opinion may change. The 
haunting Behene De, the raw Ranjha Ranjha, the honey-like Khili Re. They are 
gems. I don't understand a single word of hindi but the sounds in these songs 
take me to another place!

[arr] Re: New member post on every ARR New Release

[Rivjot]

Waiting for your review mate; its always pleasure reading them. But do take 
your time to write it, your last review (VTV) - perhaps you posted a little 
early as you had to edit (add some stuff) a couple of times [:P] I am also 
counting on swaps to write his wonderfully detailed review this time, he had 
promised that he will write for Raavan!!

@new members blindly saying stuff - It happens with pretty much every new ARR 
release... but this time they truly have crossed the limit (asking for refund). 
I was shocked & disgusted to read that comment. Ignorance is a bliss; if not 
some good music sense, may God at least give them wisdom to respect an artist.

Re: [arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..

[Indmov Buff]

Being disappointed is fine- we live in a subjective world. Like Taimur, you are 
entitled to your opinion but wanting money back for the CD- the cheapest 
comment I've read on here. Saddening. Please refrain from making such comments. 
Humble request. Instead post your views about why you think it is disappointing 
and where you'd expect it to be better etc.

Avoid further discussion and pass on the bank name and account number, I will 
make for an online transfer for Rs. 160/- + any other charges that you might 
have incurred to procure the CD, to your account.
 
You are probably too new to understand ARR's music or too young to have put in 
such an immature comment in a group of die-hard ARR fans.
 
I am a member in the group for more than 10 years and realise this is the worst

[arr] 'Slumdog' composer set to tour

[A.R.Rajib]

 'Slumdog' composer set to tour
By MESFIN FEKADU
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Since the success of "Slumdog Millionaire," composer A.R. Rahman
not only has a larger profile, but he says he's got a confidence boost, too.

ADVERTISEMENT
"The main thing is have self-confidence, which I do. Every composer is a
complex person within, and in a way I think you need to have a kind of
confidence to achieve greater things," Rahman said.

"Coming from South India, you're always very timid, you're within your
shell. We always think that, you know, maybe I don't fit here. We feel a
kind of discomfort," he said.

Rahman will be able to show off his new self on his upcoming U.S. tour,
"A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour," which kicks off
June 11 in New York.

"We've seen Indian shows where stars would come and lip sing on a song. They
would dance because audiences respond to that kind of stuff. Here, we have
the real stars of music and the vision of the whole staging of the songs.
There are segments of spirituality and celebration and festival -- all these
things, and love," Rahman said. He will also visit Canada and Europe.

Rahman won two Grammy Awards and two Oscars for his work on the "Slumdog
Millionaire" soundtrack, which has sold 390,000 copies in the United States,
according to Interscope Records, which released the album.

His collaboration with the Pussycat Dolls, "Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny),"
hit the No. 1 spot in many countries, and became a Top 20 hit in the
America.

The song has sold close to 2 million downloads, officials of the label said.
Rahman also headlined the first state dinner at the White House for
President Obama last year.

He's capitalizing on his U.S. success with an upcoming CD planned for the
near future.

"It's shaping up in its own way because I've been doing film music, I've
been doing all kinds of music, and for me to focus on an album, to come up
with an individual song, is again a great challenge. It's very exciting," he
said.

He's already worked with Usher for a soundtrack song and recorded another
track with Nicole Scherzinger that may appear on the CD, but Rahman says
he's not rushing to put the album out.

"I'm not jumping the gun. I'm just going to go with the feel of the album
and see who all fits in," he said.

Since his success as a composer for films, Rahman is hoping to play a bigger
role in producing movies.

"Being a part of the creative vision of a movie rather than just playing the
back seat and doing all the music," he said of his future goals.

Re: [arr] Re: Hope no songs like "baazi lagaa" and "Ek lo Ek muft" will be in Raavan

[Indmov Buff]

Triply,

"Vimaljk and especially Indmov Buff, yes, I think it was a little high handed 
to make such a blanket statement. But consider this... all Mani's masterpieces 
are in Tamil. Watch Aayutha Ezhuthu and Yuva back to back and see which has the 
Mani Ratnam touch it's AE. Yuva is a disappointment compared with AE. And 
think about it, AE is itself considered to be Mani's weaker efforts (though it 
is one of my favourites). Then you have Guru, which, as I already said, felt 
weak for me. Before this, you had Dil Se.., which underwhelmed me the first 
time I saw it, but as I thought more and more about it, it really stuck with 
me. But still, Dil Se.., after Iruvar? I just have a theory that Mani does not 
have that ingrained knowledge and instinct of Hindi that he has of Tamil. That 
ingrained knowledge and instinct is the "Mani Ratnam" touch for me. Remember 
Pyramid Natarajan in Alai Paayuthey? Remember Bharathiraja in AE? There aren't 
such characters in his Hindi
 movies. "

I came across this elsewhere as well- abt mani not being able to "think" in 
Hindi. I find that rather irrelevant and immaterial. For me, Mani thinks in 
"Indian". And that too in the most authentic way possible. He is a filmmaker 
first and does not (need to) belong to any language. That's why he is unique. 
How many directors are able to do this in India today? For me, the one thing 
that stops me from picking Yuva over AE is the casting of Ajay Devgan. You are 
right, Surya was great . But for me Lallan in Yuva was far superior to Inba in 
AE in many subtle ways. Don't get me wrong, Madhavan was great, but AB took it 
to another level. Although the difference was subtle, I found Lallan to be 
darker, heavier and slightly more entertaining than Inba. For this, I've 
watched yuva several times more than I've watched AE. As for Guru, it had more 
commercial elements than artistic ones which may have not gone down well with 
his usual fan following but it retained
 the Midas touch for me in the form of Gurukanth Desai and some very 
entertaining cameos- Nanaji, Meenu etc. Perhaps, Natarajan's and Bharathiraja's 
cameos were more striking than usual for you because of their personalities in 
the South. Would it have had the same effect if their roles were done by 
regulars? So does that mean that to a certain extent, it matters which language 
the audience "thinks" in? Because the comment about Mani being able to 'think' 
in Tamil and not Hindi interestingly comes from my Tamil speaking friends. 

Mani's first full fledged Hindi film was Dil Se and given that he's only 3 
films old in the North (not taking Roja and Bombay into account here), I think 
it's far too early to write him off in the North considering that none of the 
three have been ordinary flicks. Doing so would be like tossing him based on  
Pagal Nilavu and Idaya Kovil when he started off in the South. 


"So, when Mani ends up making another Hindi movie, for me, I have low 
expectations, since I feel the Mani Ratnam touch is missing. To overcome that, 
he needs a powerful script with an entertaining story. That is what I want in 
Raavan. Will it be better in Tamil? I don't know, but I do think it would be 
better. (On a side note, Is it still called "Asokavanam" , or is it now 
"Raavan" even in Tamil? Last I remember was that there was some problem with 
calling it "Asokavanam" .)"

As for him needing a powerful script with an entertaining story, I believe I 
made my opinion clear in my previous e-mail about it. His past work speaks 
volumes and like you I want Raavan to have a powerful script and an 
entertaining story, not because his past work lacked these but because with 
every film, he takes us to another level. 

The Tamil version is aptly titled Raavanan and I think the Ashokavanam 
contraversies were just probably the rumour-loving tabloids having a go at what 
theyd o best. and what's thrilling is that I really don't know which one would 
be better (not that one has to be).  Vikram is amazing and not sure Raavanan 
would be Surya's cup of tea (although I must say that I would love to see him 
working with Mani again). I think I'd watch the Tamil version before the Hindi 
one purely because it's Vikram's first movie with Mani. Just that. 



"As for the Mani-ARR combo, I am not saying that other directors are better 
with ARR."


Well, your first e-mail didn't make this clear. I would pick a Dil Se over a 
Delhi 6 and a Roja over Jodha Akbar (despite the latter in both cases being of 
such high calibre)  and ...we live in a subjective world. Raavan and Raavanan 
seems to have all the reasons for a smashing soundtrack and background score. I 
am glad that Mani and ARR made an effort to make a distinction between Raavan 
and the Raavanan soundtracks by giving each of them a unique track which 
doesn't feature in the other. Loving the tracklist ad the choice of singers for 
both. And that for me is the magical Mani-ARR combo. 


I think (and hope) that Raa

There is a bit longer version of same song somewhere in the movie. Also 
instrumental version of this song is played during end credits. Shorter version 
of end credits is played on ARR's official website; its called "End Credits - 
Dil Se" in that playlist.

[arr] Raavan, the masterpiece.

[Indmov Buff]

It's been two days and I have to admit that I still haven't been able to absorb 
the soundtrack in full. There's so much left to discover. The intricate 
arrangement of notes and instruments is just mindblowing. For me, Raavan has 
brought together the sounds of the North and the South together in an extremely 
beautiful package. Raw yet refined sounds. I feel so unfortunate to not be able 
to understand the lyrics especially Behene De. And for this, I am really 
looking forward to the tamil OST. Please please please release the other 
versions of the soundtrack soon. Any chance of a release date on arr.com? ( I 
know I am pushing my luck here, but hey, I've got to try!) :)

Amazed by the two e-mails from disappointed fans. Surprisingly my friends who 
usually like to fuss are totally excited about the soundtrack and the general 
feeling seems to be more positive than usual. I think I would have been 
disappointed if this was another VTV or another D6 or even another JA. What 
would be the point if it was like another soundtrack? Raavan for me has carved 
it's own place in the list of favourite AR soundtracks and will stay there for 
a very long time for me  - just like Roja.  It's special.  Mani and AR have a 
very special place in my life. My sincere thanks to both for bringing us some 
of the best in cinema and music. Always.

Well said Rajib.

I also want ARR to compose new styles of songs, and not to repeat 
previous styles.

Kishore? You are saying this?

utterly surprising.

As a long time ARR fan, you must be knowing that ARR's music grows on 
people, so calling it "2 weakest" is too early dear. It is not typical 
bollywood album having Zubi Dubi Zubi Dubi that one starts liking in 
first hearing. This album has all elements that it is meant to grow on 
listeners.

don't give up buddy.

I beg to differ. It was a combi of live by ARR and pre-recorded for Chorus.

Lip Sync by ARR for Chale chalo song in IPL performance. All original voices 
from the CD were heard. Srinivas and ARR's original singing from the Lagaan CD. 
Why?

Re: [arr] New member post on every ARR New Release

[Ashok Purohit]

Farzad,
 
I agree wtih you, and therefore, giving due time for the music to be completely 
assimilated to head and heart. For the reviews pouring in, I am not sure how 
can someone be so quick in 'reviewing' things, even before they have 
appreciated the intricacies of every minute beat, every minute chord in the 
song? As you suggest, I am giving such reviews a skip.
 
I am not sure who wrote the terrible comment of ""I want my Rs160 back" . 
Probably, he wasn't sure enough to be here in the arr fan group in the first 
place. I can bet he will be able to make every worth of his CD after a couple 
of weeks, by listeining to it over and over again. And may change his mind then!
 
As a heads up, I put a post in the group before the release of Raavan Music, 
for not to be over anxious to put the reviews as i am sure the BLUE episode of 
micro-analysis of each song will repeat, but am dissapointed to see the same 
thing happening.
 
Cheers!
Ashok

When everytime an album of ARR Releases, get to see critizers of new email 
address, who are not regular. Isnt't it something wrong in that ? Some people 
are creating annoyance by provoking words ( Eg: "I want my Rs160 back" ). 
Hoping one day the moderators will start banning members, who starts unwanted 
discussions and fights.

@Chord: Why could you stay away from these discussions, as they will ONLY 
STOP when they are not getting response from the other side. Because we cannot 
prove them anything, because they dont have any kind of sense.

maybe its too complicated to sing the song..and if his singing is not the same 
with the original song that might as well bring a bigger disapppoinment for the

very well said  Taimur..exactly nowadays the "sweetness" is missing..just 
one or two  song succeeds and tops the charts...but the recent albums of ARR's 
lacks something(IMHO)as you said ,i too want ARR to explore,but the recent 
albums espescially ghajini,blue are totally a disaster...and Jaane tu ,yuvraaj 
& JA were good...delhi-6 was the best and different.excellentRaavan is 
good..but i wont think after the next release of ARR,i think i wont be 
listening to Raavan anymore..am listening and able to grasp his

O DINESH so overwhelmed by your replies its so nice of you , you are defending 
me like a wall i am completely humbled by you. i have no words for your 
generous attitude i have reading all the threads well pratap was completely 
with me , kishore parayath said it a disaster , and there were many who 
contradicted, which i equally accept . but there are some points to be cleared .
 
i never said A R RAHMAN should keep repeating the same sound , he must explore  
new sounds i love A R RAHMAN  because of his creativity , the second name of 
art is creativity. but i am unable to grasp any creativity in RAAVAN or earlier 
films .  i dont know why his tunes has become simpler almost its ABCD stuff . 
no swirls no high and lows no complexity. and the most important  SWEETNESS is 
completely missing nowadays. 
 
i want A R RAHMAN to supercede his previous works , but no masterpiece is 
coming for years now.For me music is beautiful sounds , and A R RAHMAN is 
bestowed WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS IN THE UNIVERSE , but for years i 
havent heard a beautiful sound comng out OF A R RAHMAN music. 
 
And remember guys whenever A R RAHMAN will be introduced to anyone his works in 
DIL SE , THIRUDA THIRUDA , TAAL, ALAIPAYUTHE, SAPNAY will be called not ghajini 
yuvraaj dilli 6 or ada  what to say about blue, the above mentioned albums are 
10to 15 years old but they are superior in every sense 
 in music , in arrangements in sound quality and in tunes they all were 
MASTERPIECES.
 
i know the midas touch will be back in A R RAHMAN one day, he will be glorified 
yet again and i will proudly say to my fellows listen this sound DOESNT IT 
MESMERIZES YOU ISNT IT EXTRAORDINARY ISNT IT just out of the world ITS my A R 
RAHMAN the greatest ever... right now listening to nathaswaram interlude in 
AMMI MITHCHCHACHI ah what a scintillating feeling just great the drum work in 
background my goodness its midas touch ..

Why is nobody talking about Kata Kata.??. it is such a masterpiece. In upcoming 
weeks, I can see myself listing it above there in the list of gems like 
Rukmani, Humma Humma, Azeem-O-Shaan

Dhik dhik tak dhin, jaaye na joru bin
Joru abhi kamsin, Kanya ko bulaao
Dulhe miyan, dulhe miyan dand vand pelo 
Dulhe miyan chodo chodho joru, jharkhand lelo

these lines are extremely addicting !! PERFECT wedding song.. there is my 
sister's wedding coming in about a week; they already have music/dj etc 
planned, I gotta convince my folks to replace any song with this one!! 

I just love Raajthani folk songs (there is one by ARR in Jodhaa Akbar's BGM 
during Jodhaa's Farewell, sung by Javed Ali).. and there could not have been 
any better choice than Ila Arun & Sapna Awasthi for this song. 
If you also like Raajthani folk songs (with movie song touch), try 'Gandhi My 
Father' songs.

iucaa_hari,
 
Avoid further discussion and pass on the bank name and account number, I will 
make for an online transfer for Rs. 160/- + any other charges that you might 
have incurred to procure the CD, to your account.
 
You are probably too new to understand ARR's music or too young to have put in 
such an immature comment in a group of die-hard ARR fans.
 
I am a member in the group for more than 10 years and realise this is the worst 
ever comment written on ARRs music ever.

Re: [arr] Lip Sync by ARR for Chale chalo song in IPL performance

[Arijit Debnath]

very true... Rahman would have sung the entire song with 100 team orchestra,
all original singers, his beloved music conductor, naveen on flute, sivamani
on drums

also with 3 more hrs... to perform an IPL Jai ho concert the Final could
have been shorter... may be a 5-5 over match...

Re: [arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..

be smart
 
if u dont like the songs dont listen...is that simple
if u comment here syaing u r dissappointed will they cure urself or is the 
songs suddenly becomes good for u...
 
i really dont understand the logic for ur comments on dissappoinment..wats the 
purpose for that...either somebody will bash u enough or will give u 
suggestions or will support u by saying lame lame  'i m dissappointed'...wats 
the point...some will like the music some wont..thats ok
 
but if u create ur own expectations than too bad for u...we all expect 
something different..
just bcoz u like delhi 6 ,arrahman will not be giving the same music all the 
time(wats the point)
 
different movie different music...i didnt like ghajini that much ,but rather 
than commenting here ,i waiit for his next releases...n now for raavan i m 
happy if u r not than wait for his next release...maybe that music u will 
like...
 
saying i m dissappointed only will make more people here dissappointed and they 
will try to make u moree dissappointed...trust me

H... guys guys, isnt people getting disappointed with ARR album in the 
first listening is like a norm and culture for us? Its very very natural. Lets 
just let them express themselves. im very sure they will post " I love the 
songs" in a few weeks time. lets not let it keep out spirit down.

dear Hari, i understand ur disappointed. but asking back ur money for it, its 
quite hurting. I think no albums should be treated like this. If u dun like it, 
put it aside, im sure once the movie hit the screens, u will then accept the 
album is worth more than what u paid.

'Kata Kata' is my pick of the album. I love the chorus, it's gorgeous. Ila 
Arun's rustic voice is magnificent. The last minute of the song is like 
'Panchavadyam' , most mallu folks would know what I mean.

[arr] Cricinfo update

[Srini Santhanam]

7.20pm Before we get to that, the closing ceremony has begun. Psychedelic Pink 
Floyd-like sounds with accompanying laser lights to kick things off. A rather 
lengthy introduction, this. Now, some fireworks. A drum-beating legion walks 
out of the pavilion. We're being treated to AR Rahman's Chale Chalo fromLagaan. 
Rahman's in a jeep doing the rounds across the ground with a microphone. The 
camera pans to the lovely Sushmita Sen in one of the VIP enclosures.

[arr] Lip Sync by ARR for Chale chalo song in IPL performance

[Sriram S]

 
Lip Sync by ARR for Chale chalo song in IPL performance. All original voices 
from the CD were heard. Srinivas and ARR's original singing from the Lagaan CD. 
Why?

Again, it was just a quick outburst over a pattern I've been noticing for a

Hey Dinesh,

I got no qualms with people not liking the album and people should be free to 
post their opinions - Good or bad. Even i'm yet to get into the groove with 
this album.. My note was not about Hari expressing his disappointment but the 
way he put it.

[arr] Kudos to T-Series

[Rivjot]

Especially last 2 years, we have been hitting on T-Series for availability of 
new ARR CDs, their delays and non-professionalism - it has been frustrating for 
everyone. This time they did quite a professional job. Music release date was 
annouced and CDs were available on exact same date (in India). At few places, 
they were sold even a day before the official release date. They are not yet 
available in western countires, but it takes at least 2-3 days for the 
shipment. My store guy told me that it should be available Monday (tomorrow) 
onwards. 

Some people had problems with quality of T-Series CDs as well. Of course, I 
cant comment on that part as I dont have the CD yet. 

I think we all must applaud T-Series's efforts this job and appreciate that 
they handled this release in a professional way :)

[arr] GODs come down into DY Patil Stadium

[en_arvind]

ARR and SRT at DYP ! Can't get betterDuring a short interview ARR mentioned 
that SRT came to meet him in Chennai.

Am surprised there have been no mails on this performance of ARR at the closing 
ceremony of IPL3...probably overshadowed by the release of Raavan !

Anyway looking forward...

[arr] New member post on every ARR New Release

[Farzad Khaleel]

When everytime an album of ARR Releases, get to see critizers of new email
address, who are not regular. Isnt't it something wrong in that ? Some
people are creating annoyance by provoking words ( Eg: "I want my Rs160
back" ). Hoping one day the moderators will start banning members, who
starts unwanted discussions and fights.
@Chord: Why could you stay away from these discussions, as they will *ONLY
STOP* when they are not getting response from the other side. Because we
cannot prove them anything, because they dont have any kind of sense.

H... guys guys, isnt people getting disappointed with ARR album in the 
first listening is like a norm and culture for us? Its very very natural. Lets 
just let them express themselves. im very sure they will post " I love the 
songs" in a few weeks time. lets not let it keep out spirit down.

dear Hari, i understand ur disappointed. but asking back ur money for it, its 
quite hurting. I think no albums should be treated like this. If u dun like it, 
put it aside, im sure once the movie hit the screens, u will then accept the 
album is worth more than what u paid.

[Srini Santhanam]

Huh? Mind your words dude. What's wrong with you? So, did you pay 100  
times more for Thiruda thiruda, Dil Se or whichever album made you  
join this group. I can't believe you could put a value to all this.  
Shame on you.


It's okay to be disappointed.. But this is sad.

I can't see just one way Ill like this album in future. I either  
like anything in first few listenings or never. ARR took multiple  
strands in a single song to a bit too much of an extent I reckon.

that there is no instantly hummable tune in this album. Kata Kata  
had huge expectations from me, but this song sounds to me like a fun  
song with lot of variations in beat and singing. the structure and  
variation being changed in AR's songs is seen nowadays a lot. It  
irritates the listener and makes him think that where the song is  
going. Beera is good but short. lot of beera beera repetitions, they  
could have made the song longer with 2 stanzas. I have bn following

Album: Raavan
Music: A. R. Rahman
Lyrics: Gulzar

Rating: 9 on 10

Beera

Vocals: Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane

Its the most appealing track in the album and already an instant hit from the 
trailers...

It describes the hero of the movie 'Raavan', 'Beera' or as Gulzaar calls one 
with 'dus maathe'

Starts on an awesome note and continues on constant beats added with rehmaan's 
african fusion...

Reminds me of Omkara's title track...Carry the same lyrical prowess by Maestro 
Gulzaar..

Vijay Prakash has substituted Sukhvinder with his power punched voice...




Thok de Killi

Vocals: Sukhwinder Singh, Am'Nico

This is again a powerful track with some scintillating vocals by Sukhwinder...

Very youthful and gutsy song... It is filled with lots of passion and the 'do 
or die' philosophy like 'Chale Chalo' of Lagaan...

Flavour of music reminds of dhakka laga bukka type yuva enthusiasm and this one 
moves us inside out...

Love Gulzaar for using phrases like bhakad billi...uda de gilli...udaye 
khilli...

Awesome work by him...




Ranjha Ranjha

Vocals: Rekha Bhardwaj, Javed Ali

This is Rehman's musical masterpiece with varied instruments at work...

It is surely flawless and glues you to its magic...

Gulzaar opens up his kitty of words.He comes up with words like heer-ranjha, 
kundan-chandan etc and mixes up pretty well...

Javed and Rekha's duet ends up as another number for Rekha to add in her 
feather...

Rekha's rendition reminds her style as in Namak Ishq ka of Omkara




Behne De

Vocals: Karthik,Mohammed Irfan

A beautiful song where Gulzaar comes up with some motivational lines ...

W8ing eagerly for the movie where it will fit in..

Karthik is given full scope to justify his vocals with clarity which he indeed 
does beautifully...

Emotion resembles songs like 'Banjar hai sab banjar hai' of Saathiya or 'Mujhe 
Rang de' of Legend of Bhagat Singh...



Khili Re... Raat Ki Raani

Vocals: Reena Bhardwaj

Its like a fresh bunch of flowers on a beautiful girl's hair...

Song blossoms up with Gulzaar's poetic words like Khili,Kohra,baasuriya...
It is set in the Meera-Krishna devotional mood...
Its set on a slow pace and seems like rehman's gift to Reena bhardwaj and she 
leaves us serene and calm indeed..

It reminds the same divinity as in 'Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai' of Meenakshi 
sung by Reena...


Kata Kata

Vocals: Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi, Kunal Ganjawala

It sounds like wedding song sung by friends teasing the grooom...
Gulzaar adds to the fun mood with words like 
bechara,saas-sasura,jeth-jethani,joru-kanya-dulhe-miya...
Mood wise its a very happening song with lots of percussion used..

Rehman keeps the control and for this song and lots will depend on how well it 
gels into the movie...



Rehmaan's style of music takes its own time to grow on you ...

And please don't compare it with early Mani-Rehmaan works as every movie album 
should gel with the movie's theme...And this one is a take on  Raavan of 
Ramayan, a man with conflicts of good and evil and is set in a backdrop of vast 
jungle...

So please don't expect a Tere bina beswadi ratiya or Saathiya or Tu hi re as 
Raavan is not about romance...Or any light mood peppy nos. like Kabhi Kabhi 
Aditi...


But you can find a powerfull Beera Beera and the effervescent Ranjha with the 
puristic Khili Re to leave you mesmerizing... 

[arr] Thamarai.com Reviews Raavan Music

[AJ]

http://www.thamarai.com/news-details.php?id=128

AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam together gave us epic music for Roja, Bombay, Dil Se 
(Uyire) and Saathiya (Alaipayuthey in Tamil), and when they teamed up with 
lyricist Gulzar, they came out with Dil Se and more recently, Guru. Needless to 
say, they were all amazing albums, and so I was left wondering whether the 
music for their latest venture, "Raavan" (to be released simultaneously as 
"Raavanan" in Tamil) would be able to rival these classic soundtracks. How 
wrong I was to doubt AR Rahman, even for a second? The Raavan OST is just as 
good as, if not better than the benchmarks the music director had left for 
himself in previous years. The Raavan soundtrack is catchy, upbeat and at times 
haunting, and each song leaves an impact on the listener, in my opinion.

Opening with an almost Lion King-esque African-style chant by newcomer Mustafa 
Kutaone, "Beera Beera" is an upbeat number with powerful African beats that are 
a joy to listen to. The lyrics "Beera ka dus maathe, Beera ka sau naam" (Beera 
has ten heads, Beera has a hundred names) indicate that this will be the lead 
character's introduction song, and I can't think of a better way to introduce 
the untamed Beera (Raavan), than with this pride-filled, testosterone-fuelled 
number! Rahman's effortless fusion of African drums with a distinctly ethnic 
melody has culminated in this track; an energetic piece that manages not to 
overwhelm the listener with too-heavy beats or too-deep lyrics; they mainly 
chant "Beera" throughout! With its folksy feel, this is a song that would 
typically be handed to somebody like Shankar Mahadevan or Sukhwinder Singh. 
Instead, Vijay Prakash has been given the lead vocals. He may not have the 
coarse voice that you'd think this song would require, but he manages to render 
the song in a wonderfully spirited manner without being too forceful.

The next song is "Behene De", and this song practically has AR Rahman tattooed 
all over it. It reminds me a great deal (in a good way) of "Satrangi Re" from 
Dil Se. They both have a similar structure to them: a simple, repetitive melody 
that is supplemented by complementary (but far from overpowering) backing 
instrumentals. Behene De, however, has a far more rocky feel to it when 
compared to Satrangi Re. The uncomplicated melody does not diminish this track 
in any way at all; it simply allows the lyrics to take a lead role here, 
because they truly are touching lyrics. "Behene De" loosely translates as "Let 
me flow freely" and thus indicates a sense of imprisonment and a desperate need 
for freedom. Incidentally, Gulzar also wrote the lyrics for Satrangi Re, and 
this same feeling of yearning is brought to the fore with his lyrics for Behene 
De. Karthik's vocals are soul stirring; you can almost feel the character's 
anguish through his voice.

Next comes "Thok De Khili", with the rustic vocals of Sukhwinder Singh that 
this sort of soundtrack would be incomplete without. This song is uplifting in 
a sort of prepare-yourself-for-battle way; it resembles Azeem-O-Shahenshah from 
Jodhaa Akbar in some aspects, with its heavy beat and passionate assertions of 
the opening lines being repeated throughout. The main difference between the 
two however, is that where Azeem-O-Shahenshah is beat-heavy, Thok De Khili 
places its emphasis on the music, making it a very orchestra-oriented piece. It 
is a vastly instrument-heavy composition, but this only adds to the war-like 
feel of the song without overshadowing Gulzar's powerful lyrics. 


I'm sure many will agree with me when I say that the beautiful song "Ranjha 
Ranjha" is one that stands out the most in this album. Despite having 
classical, almost Sufi-ish ties in its melody, the beat is distinctly modern. 
Here Rahman has exhibited that it is possible to fuse old with new without 
tainting the beauty of the melody. The song opens with Anuradha Sriram's 
electronically enhanced (not a bad thing) humming, that features at regular 
intervals throughout, and playing a key role in maintaing the flow between each 
part of the song. The husky tones of Rekha Bhardwaj, and Javed Ali's more 
polished yet unassuming singing totally contrast each other, but still the 
vocals are stunning to say the least. The opening lines of the song come from a 
Punjabi poem by Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah. The first line translates as "By 
repeating his name (Ranjha), I myself have become Ranjha", and lyricist Gulzar 
has continued this poem with his own lyrics but has still maintained a 
meaningful and romantic feeling. Pairing these lyrics with Rahman's incredible 
instrumental arrangement for this track would result in a beautiful piece of 
music in itself, but Rekha Bhardwaj's vocals take it to a whole new level. Even 
the way she sings just two words "Ranjha Ranjha", overflows with the passion of 
a young lovestruck girl who can't take her mind off the love of her life.

Next comes the mellow compos

[arr] Hey people pls STOP ALL THE CRITICISMS on Raavan WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT!

[Neevan]

All i wanna say here is pls stop comparing one album with another. There is no 
way on earth for person to define something as the best or unsurpassable cos 
every one has their own taste and preferences.

Furthermore who are we to judge the standard and quality of the compositions of 
our dear musical genius ARR? He has gained 
international recognition for his versatility and ability to handle almost any 
genre of music. With his knowledge and experience 
over the last 18 years, he is the best person to decide what sort of a 
composition will suit the film and the placements of the songs 
as pitched by the director of the film. Ultimately the director has the final 
say over which tunes will make it to the big screen. 

So pls i humbly request to all members of this group to be mindful of your 
comments over boss's works! Pls start appreciating a song 
as it is and you will certainly begin to realise the beauty of the composition 
and arrangement instead of always making comparisons 
to previous works of his. I m also pretty sure that ARR never lets a song slip 
out of his hand and reach the ears of others till he is 
truly satisfied with the final result. So pls be mindful of the effort that our 
boss puts into every piece of composition before you 
potentially make another harsh comment abt his song or album!

Another final word. I know that all of us guys admire our boss a lot but pls 
dont start having unrealistic expectations and eventually
becoming disappointed in the most immature way ever!

Regards
Neevan

Write to me privately, I will wire you ten times that amount on the
condition that you stay far away from AR and his music in future. I reckon
he can do without the patronage of people who lack a basic sense of

Dinesh,

No point taking this further.  I expressed anger about what I felt for a 
pattern that has gone on for years by some of you, not just for this album.  No 
need to take this to a personal level about how people express themselves, I 
was just focusing on content, what's being said.  Defend Taimur or whomever 
else you want.  I've said what I wanted to say...judge me, curse me, I 
don't care.   

End of discussion on my end.

[arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..

[iucaa_hari]

I completely agreeDissapointing...I want my 160 Rs back.
I can't see just one way Ill like this album in future. I either like anything 
in first few listenings or never. ARR took multiple strands in a single song to 
a bit too much of an extent I reckon.

Re: [arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought - I've had it!!!!!!

[Taimur Nadeem]

O DINESH so overwhelmed by your replies its so nice of you , you are defending 
me like a wall i am completely humbled by you. i have no words for your 
generous attitude i have reading all the threads well pratap was completely 
with me , kishore parayath said it a disaster , and there were many who 
contradicted, which i equally accept . but there are some points to be cleared .
 
i never said A R RAHMAN should keep repeating the same sound , he must explore  
new sounds i love A R RAHMAN  because of his creativity , the second name of 
art is creativity. but i am unable to grasp any creativity in RAAVAN or earlier 
films .  i dont know why his tunes has become simpler almost its ABCD stuff . 
no swirls no high and lows no complexity. and the most important  SWEETNESS is 
completely missing nowadays. 
 
i want A R RAHMAN to supercede his previous works , but no masterpiece is 
coming for years now.For me music is beautiful sounds , and A R RAHMAN is 
bestowed WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS IN THE UNIVERSE , but for years i 
havent heard a beautiful sound comng out OF A R RAHMAN music. 
 
And remember guys whenever A R RAHMAN will be introduced to anyone his works in 
DIL SE , THIRUDA THIRUDA , TAAL, ALAIPAYUTHE, SAPNAY will be called not ghajini 
yuvraaj dilli 6 or ada  what to say about blue, the above mentioned albums 
are 10to 15 years old but they are superior in every sense 
 in music , in arrangements in sound quality and in tunes they all were 
MASTERPIECES.
 
i know the midas touch will be back in A R RAHMAN one day, he will be glorified 
yet again and i will proudly say to my fellows listen this sound DOESNT IT 
MESMERIZES YOU ISNT IT EXTRAORDINARY ISNT IT just out of the world ITS my A R 
RAHMAN the greatest ever... right now listening to nathaswaram interlude in 
AMMI MITHCHCHACHI ah what a scintillating feeling just great the drum work in 
background my goodness its midas touch ..

Re: [arr] the best track of raavan is not in the disc!

What I don't understand is that... What's the point of performing an absolutely 
amazing song live, which is not there on the CDs we're gonna buy!! It's 
obviously gonna cause disappointment to some...

Why is nobody talking about Kata Kata.??. it is such a masterpiece. In upcoming 
weeks, I can see myself listing it above there in the list of gems like 
Rukmani, Humma Humma, Azeem-O-Shaan

Dhik dhik tak dhin, jaaye na joru bin
Joru abhi kamsin, Kanya ko bulaao
Dulhe miyan, dulhe miyan dand vand pelo 
Dulhe miyan chodo chodho joru, jharkhand lelo

these lines are extremely addicting !! PERFECT wedding song.. there is my 
sister's wedding coming in about a week; they already have music/dj etc 
planned, I gotta convince my folks to replace any song with this one!! 

I just love Raajthani folk songs (there is one by ARR in Jodhaa Akbar's BGM 
during Jodhaa's Farewell, sung by Javed Ali).. and there could not have been 
any better choice than Ila Arun & Sapna Awasthi for this song. 
If you also like Raajthani folk songs (with movie song touch), try 'Gandhi My 
Father' songs.

Dear cke

I have so far concentrated only on behne de lyrics and they seem very 
moving.

Others like Kata Kata are by nature humorous light natured song so 
only superficial lyrics are appropriate for them.

Real sub standard lyrics were in Ghajini's pyaas pyaas, paas paas, aas 
aas, even blue was not as bad.

Exactly...very surprising to see such a beautiful song missing in the Sound
track.  Yes, this song would have been certainly given the same or even a
better effect as aaromale of VTV or Jaage Hai of Guru.

Re: [ARR] Raavan in my words..

[Neevan]

Hey pls chill dun get overly emotional over things. All i wanna say here is pls 
stop comparing one album with another. There is no 
way on earth for person to define something as the best or unsurpassable cos 
every one has their own taste and preferences.

Furthermore who are we to judge the standard and quality of the compositions of 
our dear musical genius ARR? He has gained 
international recognition for his versatility and ability to handle almost any 
genre of music. With his knowledge and experience 
over the last 18 years, he is the best person to decide what sort of a 
composition will suit the film and the placements of the songs 
as pitched by the director of the film. Ultimately the director has the final 
say over which tunes will make it to the big screen. 

So pls i humbly request to all members of this group to be mindful of your 
comments over boss's works! Pls start appreciating a song 
as it is and you will certainly begin to realise the beauty of the composition 
and arrangement instead of always making comparisons 
to previous works of his. I m also pretty sure that ARR never lets a song slip 
out of his hand and reach the ears of others till he is 
truly satisfied with the final result. So pls be mindful of the effort that our 
boss puts into every piece of composition before you 
potentially make another harsh comment abt his song or album!

Another final word. I know that all of us guys admire our boss a lot but pls 
dont start having unrealistic expectations and eventually
becoming disappointed in the most immature way ever!

Regards
Neevan

Indeed. It reminds me of total madness days like patti rap when our 
man was composing music absolutely freely. He had got somewhat 
"disciplined" while conceiving music so he was not coming up with such 
freak out, no rules, no hold barred music for a long time, may be for 
more than a decade, but now he is back with this "brain should go to 
hell, I will do what I feel like" style song. There is so much energy 
in it, totally spontaneous, like a real life scenario.

I am loving it.

[arr] Re: Kata Kata addiction

[Sriram Iyer]

'Kata Kata' is my pick of the album. I love the chorus, it's gorgeous. Ila 
Arun's rustic voice is magnificent. The last minute of the song is like 
'Panchavadyam', most mallu folks would know what I mean.

[arr] the best track of raavan is not in the disc!

[wiredbeats]

what the hell, the exclusion of jaa re ud ja re is a huge loss to the 
soundtrack. This would have had the same effect that aaromale had for vtv 
soundtrack. Or even better..i hope this track gets out

  really, one of the sweetest melodies I've heard in any Indian film 
album in a while.  The melodic contour in this song is very smooth and evolves 
naturally..no sudden shifts, just very natural and very heartfelt.  Truly 
reminds me of one of those evergreen songs of yesteryear.  The Kathak interlude 
is just beautiful.  Reena sang this song very beautifully. .hats off to 
her.



Surprised reviewers are finding this song to be the least favorite similar 
comments happened towards Man Mohanna in Jodha Akbar, which I didn't agree with 
and now same here.
