Re: [arr] use of electric guitar in raavan
Well...this might be a bit off-topic ...but in this album Deepak P.A Played the guitars, who is actually his sound engineer No Keith peters and sanjeev thomas this time ..which is quite unbelievable !!! !! and No Sivamani Also !! so many Brand new singers and musicians U can easily feel Raavan ( may be abhishek's character ,m confused about all these 3 language versions ) is a dark character from the promos and poster !! but i felt very weird when i heard Electric guitar in this album ... I wasnt expecting this kinda modern instruments in this album ... !!

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 ?

It’s 2010. When you think of musicians, producers and artists you have to think tech. Leave it to Indian super-producer A. R. Rahman to lead with the latest in cutting edge tech, the iPad. MTV Iggy had the chance to sit down one-on-one with Rahman before he announced his upcoming world tour, “A. R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour.” We found that not only does he own an iPad, he now owns eight! When Rahman’s flight arrived from India to New York at 4am on Monday, he and his staff went straight to the 24/7 Apple store on 5th avenue to buy the tablet. “They wouldn’t give more than two for each person,” but “there were so many emails from friends and directors [from India] wanting them.” So the Mozart of Technologyhad his entourage help him out. Shhh, don’t tell Steve Jobs! By the time MTV Iggy was talking with him at 11am, A. R. was proudly showing off the apps he had already downloaded. A. R. showed us a couple of programs that he was into. Upon swiping his tablet open, the first one was already called up. “I love this program, Bebot – Robot Synth.” He demonstrated the program with an original song, on-the-fly. Every finger-touch presented an auditory note, gestures up the pad controlled volume and intensity. The horizontal movement changed the tone. He seemed to have mastered the instrument that is Bebot, calling it a “polyphonic theremin.” He modestly told us, “I’m getting used to it still.” Rahman also showed us a mixing app that he uses to control his studio program, Pro Tools. “I sit [back] and lounge,” he jokes noting that his studio has “ a lot of Apple stuff.” http://blog.mtviggy.com/2010/04/20/a-r-rahman-masters-ipad-announces-tour/ http://mtviggy.com/content/38963 Regards, Ram.. ~ Rαнмαη αddicт™ ~

[arr] To Raavan bashers
To all Bashers: If A.R's music is of a certain pattern / style, and you are not comfortable wth it? You are ignorant of what is actually the reason behind the music. AR is not some yet another composer that composes music for the heck of it. He is someone who know what he's doing and why. And for a Maniratnam movie, he'd never let it loose as you think. If you are not still convinced, wait for the movie to know why he did it. AR knows what to deliver, where and when, so dont sweat in advising the legend. Just try to understand the music, after all you need to learn AR music language before you comment on it. Coz, every time you get a new music language. So, it has to grow on you with repeated hearing and then you'll understand. If you don't understand a language, don't tell the language is bad, its you that doesnt understand it. Try to learn the language.

Guys I think its time to relax...Over 95% of ARR's albums are disappointing at first hearing! Remember Taal, Yuvraaj, Blue etc. Atleast I was disappointed at initial hearings! You have to give it time...Our Master thinks long term he knows beforehand what his audience is going to like that his music shall grow eventually...he focuses on giving something different every time please remember he also stays true to the script of the movie! This is not a pop album but a film soundtrack! So the music is bound to be related to the movie! What I have seen of the Movie stills till now, the score seems to be bang on! Thok De Killi!!! I guess many ppl liked Ranjha Ranjha most is bcoz thats the most catchy song on first hearing Javed Ali's smooth vocals are easy to absorb. However, for me its Thok De Killi I loved the most at first hearing! The beats, the surprise instrumental interlude in the midst of the song the pace at which it goes in the end is awesome!

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 ARR form 92 so i am used to this initial not liking, and then getting impressed. But still, I feel this album is a disappointment. It makes me wonder whether is this the combination which gave Vellai pookal, pachai nirame, Dilse, Bombay, thiruda thiruda to the world. From: AJ purev...@yahoo. com To: arrahmanfans@

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. Gulzar with Rahman at the music release of Raavan (Pic: Nilesh wairkar) 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.

Hi frens, i have ripped one of ARR's most matured score in his career. Do listen to each music and see the brilliance in them. Listening to the bgms can give u the pleasure of understanding the scene well. Download it here : http://www.dineshscaranvisualz.com/2010/04/uyire-original-motion-picture.html
[arr] Ranjha Ranjha is mesmerizing
When I first heard the album this was my least-liked song but now I like it so much that it keeps on playing on the back of mind. After hearing the whole album through out the day, the one song which plays in my mind when i sleep is Ranjha Ranjha. Its magical. The music beat which starts at 0:50 and runs till the end of the song is so interesting and keeps you moving through the track. Rekha's and Anuradha's voice is very exciting. The two interludes : one with the instrument that the song begins and the other I think Santoor have a kind of killer effect. The whole is very subtle and is simplicity personified. The Album in the whole itself is very rarest and we are lucky to have it a hear. Long Live ARR
[arr] Padaiyappa Voiceless BGMS
I have ripped this bgm a few months back, just to repost the link here : Greetings my frens, I have ripped yet another excellent movie's BGMs of A.R.Rahman, Padaiyappa, starring Rajinikanth, a 1999 movie. And I must say, the layers of the BGM is truly spellbinding ! You will be surprised to find many hidden beauties, esp themes for Neelambari (Ramya Krishnan). A very important note, because the source of the DVD comes from PYRAMID company, its not 100% voiceless, its only 98 % voiceless. Some of the Bgms have a very low volume of voices talking. So please bare with me on that matter, and u will enjoy it. But no worries, still the audio is crystal clear! http://www.dineshscaranvisualz.com/2009/10/padaiyappa-original-motion-picture.html
[arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..
Hi, First of all we should think about the movie theme and then only we can expect the songs for the film. Even though its not od Epic or Historic film, its base line is something related to the epic Ramayan and that too the title itself says its about the demon king Ravans side of story. A.R.Rahman gives the music Only for the film, and the film is not being made for his music. In that view you cant expect the music of ravan and sita playing around trees kind of songs.I really enjoys the songs with Ravans mind and the more earthy songs with tribal touch. If you want peppy songs or hip hop songs try to listen the films with that genre. This is my personnal openion about this film and its songs. Heard the songs about 4 times with the Original CD of Raavan today. Pretty much disappointed with the songs (Except Beera and Khillie re), all other songs have heavy beats, lot of variations in singing, no simple nature etc. There is not 1 song which is instantly catchable/likable. May be I will like it with more hearings. Very Average score by ARR for a Mani movie. Expected a lot out of this. This may be the weakest of all ARR-Mani (weaker than Guru) combos. - Sathya
[arr] My choice is always considered the weakest song in the movie
Dear All, Has it happened to anyone else that your most favourite song in any ARR album is panned by critics as the weakest song of the album. It has happened to me many times so I just wanted to know if I was not alone. Alaipayudhey - September madham. I simply skip all songs like snehigidhane, kadhal sadugudu and go to this song because I loved this too much. But everyone says this is the weakest song in the album Laagan - Radha kaise na jale. I dont even listen to mitwa, gana na and I skip to this song straight away. Yuva/Aydha Eluthu - Nenjam ellam VTV - Anbil avan sertha Rhythm - Ayyo pathikuchu Now again in Raavan I cant even listen to anything else other than Ranjha Ranjha with Rekha Bharadwaj's voice and I see so many mails claiming that to be the weakest song !!!

[arr] Rediff Reviews Raavan- Exquisite
http://movies.rediff.com/review/2010/apr/26/review-music-raavan.htm Raavan's music is exquisite Last updated on: April 26, 2010 16:58 IST Tags: Gulzar, Raavan, Rahman, Post Beera, Thok de killi Email this Save to My Page Ask Users Write a Comment You can blindly count on some combinations to never fail. The tuning between filmmaker Mani Ratnam and master composer A R Rahman [ Images ] is one of them. The curiously titled Raavan is their tenth collaboration since Roja [ Images ] and the vivacity of this merger has neither lost its ardor nor its willingness to explore. Said to draw contemporary parallels from the great Indian mythological epic, Ramayana [ Images ], Ratnam's eagerly-awaited offering features Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan [ Images ] and Vikram as its lead players. And if the soundtrack, soaked in Gulzar's [ Images ] penetrating imagination, is anything to go by, Raavan is going to be a mostly intriguing experience. Never to give into the comfort zone trap, Rahman delivers a sound mix of zingy rusticity and zealous verve. Inspired by the calypso-flavoured wilds of Africa against the trumpeting dramatics of desi folk tunes, the thumping beats of Beera reiterate just that. Winsome from the word go, Beera's effectiveness is further escalated through the booming fervour of Vijay Prakash and Mustafa Kutoane with some piquant dressing of Keerthi Sagathia's piercing huskiness. The frothiness of this ensemble makes an instant connect with the listener. It takes a while to get off the loop before you want to get on with the rest of the album. Says a lot about Beera, right? From upbeat to intense, Raavan's mood changes gears with Karthik's blazing rendition of Behne de. And while Rahman builds a suitably thunderous aura to match the fierce passions of Gulzar's words, this is essentially a performance-oriented creation. At times reminiscent of Sonu Nigam's [ Images ] feverish chant in Dil Se's Satrangi re, though much restrained, Karthik delivers a sonorous punch. Upbeat returns with a bang, quite literally with Sukhwinder Singh [ Images ] and Am'nico's strapping execution of the rhythmic rhyme play, Thok de killi. Gulzar's rare brand of wizardry concocts some heady visuals with nuggets like Raat ka maal, raaton ne loota. Chaand taaron ke guche udaye. Din nikalna tha. Apna bhi nikla. Kismein dum hai ke suraj bujhaye?' There's enough drama, drum and drive in the stalwart Killi to please all and sundry. Needless to say, it does. Following the chartbuster Killi, Rahman aims to impress with Rekha [ Images ] Bharadwaj and Javed Ali's ravishing, romantic overtures in Ranjha Ranjha. Yet again, Gulzar scoops out some gems from his treasure of insight and invention to assemble a precious poem of glorious attachment and immortal love. A free-wheeling melody embellished with exotic arrangement, Ranjha flaunts its breezy presence and marriage of vibrant vocals with such poise, which is both alluring and inspiring. Remember her delicate whispers in Meenaxi [ Images ]'s Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai Khili re? Reena Bhardwaj returns to her dainty roots with the leisurely, amorous and soft strains of Khili re. Khili's texture brings back memories of Rahman's glass-like lullaby Jaa ri jaa (Duniya Dilwalon Ki). Despite it's fragile disposition, this tender piece makes sure its blithe presence doesn't go unnoticed in an album filled with extrovert songs. Post Beera, the sound of bigul makes another sprightly appearance, this time to rejoice in the celebratory and playful notes of Kata kata. Personifying the bridegroom to a scapegoat, Kata features the collective huskiness of ethnic specialists Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi along with Kunal Ganjawala. Its teasing and raunchy undertones and walloping beats are akin to Roja's Rukmini in spirit but devise a tangy, earthy aroma unique to it alone. That's the beauty of Raavan. Rahman stays true to the element of Ratnam's vision as there's never any attempt to show off or introduce unnecessary elements. The outcome is exquisite. Or should I say expected. Feel free to send in your feedback as well. Rediff Rating: Sukanya Verma in Mumbai

What vijay wrote is absolutely correct.Every one first accept the movie theme then only write comments As for me all songs are excellent .All songs are gems.like a typical rahman album.keep listening.After 2 weeks every one will say the album is excellent.I am sure.For giving a hip hop song or soulful melody is not a big thing for our boss.Because he have been doing that from last 18 years.and today's music directors are also following rahman's steps including yuvan shankar raja and harris jeyraj.Rahman he is always creating experiments in every album.Please listen the instruments rahman used in ravan's songs especially in katta katta and Thode killi.The instruments and rhythem arrangements in katta katta is mindblowing .Beera beera is awesomeThe background vocals are also excelet I recomment you all guys please listen ravan songs in Headset.You can feel the maic of rahman,really he is a genius Milad.M From: vijay anand p_s_v_an...@yahoo.com To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, 26 April, 2010 12:51:31 PM Subject: [arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing.. Hi, First of all we should think about the movie theme and then only we can expect the songs for the film. Even though its not od Epic or Historic film, its base line is something related to the epic Ramayan and that too the title itself says its about the demon king Ravans side of story. A.R.Rahman gives the music Only for the film, and the film is not being made for his music. In that view you cant expect the music of ravan and sita playing around trees kind of songs.I really enjoys the songs with Ravans mind and the more earthy songs with tribal touch. If you want peppy songs or hip hop songs try to listen the films with that genre. This is my personnal openion about this film and its songs. Heard the songs about 4 times with the Original CD of Raavan today. Pretty much disappointed with the songs (Except Beera and Khillie re), all other songs have heavy beats, lot of variations in singing, no simple nature etc. There is not 1 song which is instantly catchable/likable. May be I will like it with more hearings. Very Average score by ARR for a Mani movie. Expected a lot out of this. This may be the weakest of all ARR-Mani (weaker than Guru) combos. - Sathya
Re: [arr] Rahman’s midnight melody
Interesting sidelights. feels nice to know such inside details. It says Rahman closeted himself in his Mumbai studio I wasn't aware that he has a studio at Mumbai or do they mean he hired some studio to compose this song? -- Rawat On 4/26/2010 8:00 AM India Time, _Gopal Srinivasan_ wrote: 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. Gulzar with Rahman at the music release of Raavan (Pic: /Nilesh wairkar/) 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] singer selection in raavan
i'm very slowly getting addicted to raavan. regarding the voices, karthik, reena bharadwaj are excellent. for some reason, i think behne de and ranjha ranjha would have been too good with sonu nigam's voice and udit narayan's voice respectively. jaaved ali's voice is too shallow in my opinion for this song. oh! that's my opinion!!
Re: [arr] Lots of raaga Bhairavi in Raavan?
Swaps, Thok De Killi and Behne De have the bhairavi flavour for sure. Infact, I felt that the interludes of Thok De Killi, particularly the string portions are reminiscent of Spirit of Rangeela. Not exactly same, but somewhat similar, which got enhanced further by the style of execution. But can you please confirm if Raanjha Raanjha is Bhairavi? I am not completely sure? Somewhere i sense Raag Peelu as well. And one of my expectations was that there could be a Veena based song in this album. It was just my expectation, because legend says that Raavana invented the instrument - Rudra Veena and that he was a great musician. I am surprised that there isnt any Veena based song. I know it is too far fetched to expect, but then Mani-ARR did display some lateral-thinking master strokes in the past.

The tuning between filmmaker Mani Ratnam and master composer A R Rahman [ Images ] is one of them. The curiously titled Raavan is their tenth collaboration since Roja [ Images ] and the vivacity of this merger has neither lost its ardor nor its willingness to explore. Said to draw contemporary parallels from the great Indian mythological epic, Ramayana [ Images ], Ratnam's eagerly-awaited offering features Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan [ Images ] and Vikram as its lead players. And if the soundtrack, soaked in Gulzar's [ Images ] penetrating imagination, is anything to go by, Raavan is going to be a mostly intriguing experience. Never to give into the comfort zone trap, Rahman delivers a sound mix of zingy rusticity and zealous verve. Inspired by the calypso-flavoured wilds of Africa against the trumpeting dramatics of desi folk tunes, the thumping beats of Beera reiterate just that. Winsome from the word go, Beera's effectiveness is further escalated through the booming fervour of Vijay Prakash and Mustafa Kutoane with some piquant dressing of Keerthi Sagathia's piercing huskiness. The frothiness of this ensemble makes an instant connect with the listener. It takes a while to get off the loop before you want to get on with the rest of the album. Says a lot about Beera, right? From upbeat to intense, Raavan's mood changes gears with Karthik's blazing rendition of Behne de. And while Rahman builds a suitably thunderous aura to match the fierce passions of Gulzar's words, this is essentially a performance-oriented creation. At times reminiscent of Sonu Nigam's [ Images ] feverish chant in Dil Se's Satrangi re, though much restrained, Karthik delivers a sonorous punch. Upbeat returns with a bang, quite literally with Sukhwinder Singh [ Images ] and Am'nico's strapping execution of the rhythmic rhyme play, Thok de killi. Gulzar's rare brand of wizardry concocts some heady visuals with nuggets like Raat ka maal, raaton ne loota. Chaand taaron ke guche udaye. Din nikalna tha. Apna bhi nikla. Kismein dum hai ke suraj bujhaye?' There's enough drama, drum and drive in the stalwart Killi to please all and sundry. Needless to say, it does. Following the chartbuster Killi, Rahman aims to impress with Rekha [ Images ] Bharadwaj and Javed Ali's ravishing, romantic overtures in Ranjha Ranjha. Yet again, Gulzar scoops out some gems from his treasure of insight and invention to assemble a precious poem of glorious attachment and immortal love. A free-wheeling melody embellished with exotic arrangement, Ranjha flaunts its breezy presence and marriage of vibrant vocals with such poise, which is both alluring and inspiring. Remember her delicate whispers in Meenaxi [ Images ]'s Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai Khili re? Reena Bhardwaj returns to her dainty roots with the leisurely, amorous and soft strains of Khili re. Khili's texture brings back memories of Rahman's glass-like lullaby Jaa ri jaa (Duniya Dilwalon Ki). Despite it's fragile disposition, this tender piece makes sure its blithe presence doesn't go unnoticed in an album filled with extrovert songs. Post Beera, the sound of bigul makes another sprightly appearance, this time to rejoice in the celebratory and playful notes of Kata kata. Personifying the bridegroom to a scapegoat, Kata features the collective huskiness of ethnic specialists Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi along with Kunal Ganjawala. Its teasing and raunchy undertones and walloping beats are akin to Roja's Rukmini in spirit but devise a tangy, earthy aroma unique to it alone. That's the beauty of Raavan. Rahman stays true to the element of Ratnam's vision as there's never any attempt to show off or introduce unnecessary elements. The outcome is exquisite. Or should I say expected. Feel free to send in your feedback as well. Rediff Rating: Sukanya Verma in Mumbai

[arr] Ranjha Ranjha Lyrics [Initial Thoughts]
I must say I am not impressed with Gulzar saab's lyrics in this song. First 2 couplets (female + male) are not his words; as correctly, it has been credited to Baba Bulleh Shah. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi Ve Main Aape Ranjha Hoyi Ranjha Ranjha Saddo Ni Mainu Heer Na Aakho Koyi Ranjha Ranjha Na Kar Heere Jag Badnami Hoye Patti Patti Jhar Jaave Par Khushboo Chup Na Hoye Then the lines that follow - Sotey Sotey Bolta Hoon, Kabhi Bolte Bolte Sota Hoon Kya Jaane Kya Hota Hai, Kabhi Jalti Aag Dadolta Hoon Ek Baar To Aake Dekhe Woh Bhi they dont flow with the compisition at all!! seems like just tucked in there.. rest of the lyrics seem fine though. There hasnt been any song by Rekha Bhardwaj that I didnt like, and this one composed by ARR - has to be a special one. So far I have listened to this song only 3-4 times.. and I am dead sure that I will fall madly in love with this song in upcoming weeks. Just wanted to write how I felt at the start..

Re: [arr] Thamarai.com Reviews Raavan Music
Good Review. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 5:40 PM, AJ purev...@yahoo.com wrote: 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. #8232; 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

It has happened to me many times so I just wanted to know if I was not alone. Alaipayudhey - September madham. I simply skip all songs like snehigidhane, kadhal sadugudu and go to this song because I loved this too much. But everyone says this is the weakest song in the album Laagan - Radha kaise na jale. I dont even listen to mitwa, gana na and I skip to this song straight away. Yuva/Aydha Eluthu - Nenjam ellam VTV - Anbil avan sertha Rhythm - Ayyo pathikuchu Now again in Raavan I cant even listen to anything else other than Ranjha Ranjha with Rekha Bharadwaj's voice and I see so many mails claiming that to be the weakest song !!! Anyone ? -- Regards, Kannan Ekanath

Re: [arr] Raavan - is it the best album so far ?
Whether it's the best album or not is not an objective measure, but a subjective take. For some it might be, others not. For me, so far, Raavan is amongst the very best of ARR's works from my standpoint (musical taste, emotional impact, etc.) The whole album's got a beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary with each song packing a punch. The soundtrack is way, way too short, but very sweet and sweeping. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Aditya Pai adityaco...@... wrote: Best since Guru I can say That doesn't mean others were not good.

[arr] Re: Rahmans midnight melody
Good to know such scoops.. If it is indeed true that even Maniratnam didn't know about it, hopefully this will put all those dubious speculations to rest...All those conspiracy theorists who like to weave stories around why there is always one song that doesn't make it to the first release, etc. may have to look for newer stories now. And AR mentioned during the audio launch that most of the work was done in the last one month..(and he added as usual with a chuckle)..So that leaves very little room for imagination on how T-Series, AR and Mani could have collaborated on this master plan to leave out this one song (which they already knew would be the pick of the 7) from the first release... Hmmm..Reading these contorted versions of what everyone thinks about this, makes me add.. as usual, with a chuckle of course!! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@... wrote: 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. Gulzar with Rahman at the music release of Raavan (Pic: *Nilesh wairkar*) 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.

It has happened to me many times so I just wanted to know if I was not alone. Alaipayudhey - September madham. I simply skip all songs like snehigidhane, kadhal sadugudu and go to this song because I loved this too much. But everyone says this is the weakest song in the album Laagan - Radha kaise na jale. I dont even listen to mitwa, gana na and I skip to this song straight away. Yuva/Aydha Eluthu - Nenjam ellam VTV - Anbil avan sertha Rhythm - Ayyo pathikuchu Now again in Raavan I cant even listen to anything else other than Ranjha Ranjha with Rekha Bharadwaj's voice and I see so many mails claiming that to be the weakest song !!!

Beera beera beera .. Beera ke dus maathe, beera ke sau naam (beera has ten foreheads (heads), beera has hundred names) Chede jo beera ko dum a dum dum (note: not getting this line, chadhe could be implying getting intoxicated, meaning when beera gets intoxicated) (or dum is breath, dum chadhe is saans phoolna, when beera becomes out of breath, exhausted) Beera beera beera .. Arrey beera uthti aandhi, beera ek toofan Saans mein ugle agni beera jalti jaan, jalti jaan, jalti jaan, jalti jaan beera (beera is a growing windstorm, beera is a storm) (beera exhales fire in his breath, that burns the soul) (or could mean the soul of beera is burning, so he is exhaling fire) Janam na pooche, jaat na pooche Poocho jo pehchaan beera ka abhimaan hai, abhimaan hai, abhimaan hai, abhimaan hai beera Beera beera beera dhan dana dan Beera beera beera .. (don't ask what his birthplace is, don't ask his caste) (but if you do ask for the identification, then, the identity of Beera is his proud) Beera ke dus maathe, beera ke sau naam Chede jo beera ko dum a dum dum Beera beera beera ..

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. Gulzar with Rahman at the music release of Raavan (Pic: *Nilesh wairkar*) 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] Now I'm confident about doing more Tamil movies: Aishwarya Rai
By indiaabroad Monday Apr 26 1:45 PM Mumbai, April 26 (IANS) Aishwarya Rai started her film career with Mani Ratnam's Tamil film 'Iruvar' in 1997, but says she feels 'confident' about doing more Tamil films only now after the multilingual 'Raavan' with the National Award winning director. 'I understand a bit of Tamil and speak a bit of it. For me, it is very important that I understand the meaning of my dialogues before I deliver them. I can't just mug up the dialogues. So for 'Raavan', I made sure I knew what I was saying and yes, I have improved a lot on the language and I am confident about doing more Tamil stuff in future,' Aishwarya said. 'After 'Raavan', it was like - 'Come on! Bring on 'Robot' (now 'Endhiran'),' she told reporters at the music launch of 'Raavan' here Saturday. 'Raavan' is Ratnam's much-awaited project and also stars Abhishek Bachchan, southern superstar Vikram and Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan. The movie has been simultaneously shot in Hindi and Tamil, with a slightly different cast. Aishwarya plays Ragini, a classical dance teacher. The first look into the movie shows her dancing gracefully in a song where she has been picturised getting cosy with Vikram, who plays her husband in the Hindi version of the film. One mention of how beautiful the dance moves looked, and Aishwarya said: 'Aww...Thank you so much.' Talking about her role, she said: 'This was an extremely challenging role for me. To shoot it in Hindi and Tamil at the same time was quite a task. But the experience was so wonderful that if Mani sir asks me, I am ready to do it all over again.' According to the 36-year-old, her role was a discovery and a mystery. 'Ragini is a strong woman and very relatable to the modern Indian woman. She speaks her mind. I say discovery because we kept discovering fantastic locations and got to see so many places. We used to trek every morning to be on the sets... 'The role remained a mystery because I was playing the leading lady and there I was with no make-up, no fancy clothes and all drenched in rain with mud all over. But that's what Mani sir expects from us to keep it all as real as it can get,' she said. Aishwarya says they used to give shots with 'snakes a whisper away' and that they 'must have donated blood to 300 leeches'. 'All in all, it was an incredibly original experience. It was almost like being on a 'Fear Factor' show,' she added. The movie, co-produced by Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies, is expected to release June 18. http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/86528/Now-Im-confident-doing-Tamil-movies-Aishwarya-Rai.html

Perhaps because their favourite music director (whoever it may be) however great they were in their era was unable to do what AR has done today. But that is what we call - the circle of life. Because in 50 years time, there may be someone else in the forefront and if this someone else has the ability and does indeed go onto win 100 Oscars, I am not going to 'reject' his/her music purely because AR wasn't given the 100 Oscars and this new kid on the block was. 2) Simply said, there is some sort of Rahman-generation-gap! The times when AR made Roja, Uzhavan, May madam and the likes are now gone. Rahman has moved on and so has music.

The tuning between filmmaker Mani Ratnam and master composer A R Rahman [ Images ] is one of them. The curiously titled Raavan is their tenth collaboration since Roja [ Images ] and the vivacity of this merger has neither lost its ardor nor its willingness to explore. Said to draw contemporary parallels from the great Indian mythological epic, Ramayana [ Images ], Ratnam's eagerly-awaited offering features Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan [ Images ] and Vikram as its lead players. And if the soundtrack, soaked in Gulzar's [ Images ] penetrating imagination, is anything to go by, Raavan is going to be a mostly intriguing experience. Never to give into the comfort zone trap, Rahman delivers a sound mix of zingy rusticity and zealous verve. Inspired by the calypso-flavoured wilds of Africa against the trumpeting dramatics of desi folk tunes, the thumping beats of Beera reiterate just that. Winsome from the word go, Beera's effectiveness is further escalated through the booming fervour of Vijay Prakash and Mustafa Kutoane with some piquant dressing of Keerthi Sagathia's piercing huskiness. The frothiness of this ensemble makes an instant connect with the listener. It takes a while to get off the loop before you want to get on with the rest of the album. Says a lot about Beera, right? From upbeat to intense, Raavan's mood changes gears with Karthik's blazing rendition of Behne de. And while Rahman builds a suitably thunderous aura to match the fierce passions of Gulzar's words, this is essentially a performance- oriented creation. At times reminiscent of Sonu Nigam's [ Images ] feverish chant in Dil Se's Satrangi re, though much restrained, Karthik delivers a sonorous punch. Upbeat returns with a bang, quite literally with Sukhwinder Singh [ Images ] and Am'nico's strapping execution of the rhythmic rhyme play, Thok de killi. Gulzar's rare brand of wizardry concocts some heady visuals with nuggets like Raat ka maal, raaton ne loota. Chaand taaron ke guche udaye. Din nikalna tha. Apna bhi nikla. Kismein dum hai ke suraj bujhaye?' There's enough drama, drum and drive in the stalwart Killi to please all and sundry. Needless to say, it does. Following the chartbuster Killi, Rahman aims to impress with Rekha [ Images ] Bharadwaj and Javed Ali's ravishing, romantic overtures in Ranjha Ranjha. Yet again, Gulzar scoops out some gems from his treasure of insight and invention to assemble a precious poem of glorious attachment and immortal love. A free-wheeling melody embellished with exotic arrangement, Ranjha flaunts its breezy presence and marriage of vibrant vocals with such poise, which is both alluring and inspiring. Remember her delicate whispers in Meenaxi [ Images ]'s Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai Khili re? Reena Bhardwaj returns to her dainty roots with the leisurely, amorous and soft strains of Khili re. Khili's texture brings back memories of Rahman's glass-like lullaby Jaa ri jaa (Duniya Dilwalon Ki). Despite it's fragile disposition, this tender piece makes sure its blithe presence doesn't go unnoticed in an album filled with extrovert songs. Post Beera, the sound of bigul makes another

Regards Yogesh Arey yaar, ARR composed the song the previous night of the show, the track list was already out and millions of CDs were already made, so how can it be included in the CD? :-) :-) It must have happened in several other movies also, but we got to notice it just now. It is the compulsion of releasing the music one or two months before the release of them film, so that the popularity of the music brings spectators to the halls, but film is still being processed, and the director could feel to include/ exclude something in the movie after the CD was released. If that inclusion was not in CD, or that exclusion was in the CD (like blue song yaar mila tha mujhko or dil se song tere ishq nachaya kar thayya thayya), then it becomes noticeable to the listeners. If that inclusion exclusion doesn't involve music, listeners don't come to know about it. I think we have to live with it, the alternative will be to stopping the director from modifying the movie after the release of CD, that would hinder director from making a good film. -- Rawat

It has happened to me many times so I just wanted to know if I was not alone. Alaipayudhey - September madham. I simply skip all songs like snehigidhane, kadhal sadugudu and go to this song because I loved this too much. But everyone says this is the weakest song in the album Laagan - Radha kaise na jale. I dont even listen to mitwa, gana na and I skip to this song straight away. Yuva/Aydha Eluthu - Nenjam ellam VTV - Anbil avan sertha Rhythm - Ayyo pathikuchu Now again in Raavan I cant even listen to anything else other than Ranjha Ranjha with Rekha Bharadwaj's voice and I see so many mails claiming that to be the weakest song !!! Anyone ? -- Regards, Kannan Ekanath
[arr] [semi ARR] - the revival of Ila Arun
A singer whose era of popularity was the early 90's with songs like Choli Ke Peeche, is now seeing herself taking on the role of singer more frequently these days. Her latest song Kata Kata form Raavan in my view marks her Third hit in a row after Slumdog Millionaire and Well Done Abba. Her performance in Kata Kata is simply awsome, as is the whole song, requiring mainly on percussion. Brilliant, which only Rahman could do. Her style and genre is raw and earthy in my view and while does not suit everyone, to me is a welcome change on the current music scene.She did such a brilliant job in Kata Kata, I cannot fathom even singers like Richa Sharma doing half of what she did in there. No offence to the punjabis out there, but i was really getting fed up of every son sounding like bangra, something that even Rahman did for a while (the chiggy wiggy debacle of Blue). Now I am hoping that with tihs breathtaking album and song, that the current trends of Hindi music would change to be or embracing of the rich musical folk music of india in states outside of punjab like Rajastan, Bihar and others. India is so diverce in culture, and its reall a shame that the only style Westerners recognise is bangra. Good going to Ila Arun, A R Rahman and Mani Ratnam for this album.

Re: [arr] Ranjha Ranjha Lyrics [Initial Thoughts]
ha ha ha. in a way, you are saying that ARR didn't compose music well for these lines. no? ha ha ha. H what was there to laugh so much? If you read carefully, my comment was for lyrics only. Also if you watch music launch videos, Gulzar saab said when he is working with ARR + Mani sir, all the responsibility of chosing words falls on him. I love Gulzaar saab's lyrics, he is the finest lyricist of present time.. I just expressed what I felt about a specific portion of the song.

Re: [arr] Raavan - is it the best album so far ?
Delhi 6 was great! but there is something in Raavan that is making it above all of it. it could be because of the earthy, folksy kind of music. or it could be because of my own musical taste. like AJ pointed out, it is very subjective to the listeners' taste. :) I was just checking to see if there is anyone who thought like me.
