 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.
 
 Delhi 6 is still on my play list, btw. :)

   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.

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

2010-04-27 Thread Triply R.

Indmov, you did make an interesting observation that it could be that the 
audience thinks in Tamil which is why they feel that Mani is not that good in 
Hindi. While it is a valid observation, I do not think it applies to me, since 
I am not a Tamilian and do not speak Tamil. The only Tamil I know is what I 
learnt watching Tamil movies. It could be a more general South-Indian mindset, 
but I do not think that's the case. 

Dil Se.., like I said, left me cold the first time I watched it, but the more I 
thought of it, the more impact it had. I felt it can be perfectly summed up by 
the Mirinda tagline a few years back... Zor ka jhatka, dheere se lage. So I did 
like Mani's first foray into Hindi, but still, I felt that Mani was struggling 
to create endearing characters that he can create with so much ease in Tamil. 
Arundhati Nag for example, while good, cannot really compare with the lady who 
played Madhavan's elder sister in Kannathil Muttammittal. 

I guess discussing AE vs. Yuva is a moot point, since we prefer a different 
take on the movie. But, one thing that I felt was a very important scene in AE, 
that was not there in Yuva was the first meeting/ fight between Suriya's 
character and Madhavan's character. That scene was very deftly handled and very 
well made, since it was just the 2 of them getting a feel of each other, sizing 
each other up. This adds more importance to their final fight on the bridge, 
since they both know that it's no longer time for playfulness and it's serious 
business. With that scene missing in Yuva, I think that Ajay's character and 
Abhishiek's character only meet for the first time in the final fight and it 
does not have the same impact as the Tamil version, where they already have 
fought before. Of course, the fact still remains that Abhishiek shot Ajay, but 
did Ajay see who shot him clearly enough to remember him later? I don't know. 
Still, I you have your reasons to
 prefer Yuva, while I have mine to prefer AE. It's different strokes for 
different folks I guess. 

Coming to Guru, I do not think the movie disappointed his usual fanbase since 
it had more commercial than artistic values. I think the Mani's fanbase is so 
big because he can mix commercial and artistic so well. No Mani movie can be 
dismissed as an artsy movie. And no movie can be dismissed as an out and out 
commercial film (well, the jury is still out on Thiruda Thiruda). Even when he 
casts Rajnikanth, the very epitome of entertaining masala films, he manages to 
tell a touching story from the Mahabharata. So, I do not think it's the 
commercial aspect of Guru that let me down. I do maintain that Abhishiek was 
amazing and no other director can make a good actress of Aishwarya like Mani. 
Mithun was great too. But these are more like exceptions that the rule for the 
movie. It generally is the other way round for Mani movies. It's always 
excellent, with just a couple of bad things, if any.

The beauty of casting Bharathiraja or Natarajan in the movies is that Mani does 
still make them very entertaining. I am sure the roles would have the same 
impact even if others were cast. I know this from personal experience, because 
when I saw Alai Paayuthey, I didn't even know Madhavan's dad was Pyramid 
Natarajan. It's only later when I happened to check out my Rahman collection 
that I saw his photograph on one of the cassette covers and realised who he 
was. I know Bharathiraja of course. But I didn't know he'd make such an 
interesting villan. The slime and venom he brings to the role is just so much 
more involving than Om Puri's turn as the corrupt politician.

I also feel that equating writing off Mani after only 3 movies in Hindi is 
similar to writing him off after Pagal Nilavu and Idaya Kovil - is not correct. 
Mani had a lot of classics under his belt before he came to the Bombay Film 
Industry. He had enough experience, which he lacked in his first 2 Tamil 
movies. And actually, his first movie, Pallavi Anupallavi is considered a very 
good movie. So, when Mani started to make movies in Hindi, he carried with him 
a huge baggage of expectations. I personally feel that he hasn't really met 
them, which is why I have lowered expectations for Raavan.

As for another director who has moved out of the South, into the North, I think 
pre-Sarkar Ram Gopal Verma does qualify. Before he became a walking punchline, 
RGV made classics like Rangeela, Satya and Company. He seemed to grasp the 
nuances of Hindi films. It could be that he picked the right script and 
dialogue writers, but you can't take anything away from his direction. Of 
course, he did make turkeys like Daud, Mast and Jungle. But the point is that 
he was able to think in Hindi. I guess I expected even Mani to be able to 
grasp this technique with his Hindi movies. I feel he hasn't, which is why my 
expectations are not that high.

As I ramble on, I just want to address the final point. I am sure a lot of 
people prefer Dil Se to

  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

Lyrics of Ranjha Ranjha Song-

Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi
(note: the above two lines are by Bulleh shah)
(I have been chanting the name of Ranjha so much that I myself have 
become Ranjha)
(Call me Ranjha, there is nobody with the name Heer here)


Oo ranjha ranjha na kar heere jag badnami hoye
Patti patti jhar jaave par khushboo chup na hoye
(o Heer, don't chant the name of ranjha because it would lead to 
infamy in the world)
(the petals of the flowers wither away, but the fragrance doesn't 
become silent and is still there in withered petals)

Begunah pakda gaya (yaaro), ishq mein jakda gaya (yaaro)
Aankh ke dosh mein dil (yaaro), bewajah pakda gaya (yaaro)
(the one who was innocent got nabbed, o friends.)
(he got shackled in the love)
(it was a mistake of the eye that it saw the beloved, and it was the 
heart that got caught for no reason)

Aankh se hatt ti nahin, arrey hatt ti nahin, arrey hatt ti nahin
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
(her image doesn't leave my eyes)
(I start to speak while asleep)
(whereas sometimes I fall asleep while talking)
(I don't know what happens to me)
(sometimes I explore burning fire)
(note: I am not knowing the word Dadolta)

Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi
Oo ranjha ranjha na kar heere jag badnami hoye
Patti patti jhar jaave par khushboo chup na hoye

Jal ja, jal ja ishq mein jal ja, jale se kangan ho
Jalti raakh laga le maathe lagey to chandan hoye
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi
(get ignited, get burnt, get burnt in the fire of love, by getting 
burnt, one becomes a bracelet)
(note: doesn't make sense to me, what he means by kangan hove?)
(by putting the burning ash to the forehead, it will feel cool like 
sandalwood)

Waqt katt ta bhi nahin, waqt rukta bhi nahin

Amazing album that still remains fresh and gives me the goose bumps every time

[arr] Why is it that there are no instrumentals in Raavan?

2010-04-27 Thread Aakarsh

Hi!

I recently watched this interview: 
http://ishare.rediff.com/video/Entertainment/Astaad-Deboo-on-choreographing-Ash-and-Abhishek-in-Ravan/676103

Astad Deboo choreographed a dance sequence that isnt a song as such. I think it 
could be an instrumental. And I still wonder.. why are instrumentals (or Theme 
Music) missing in this album, which appears to be having lot of room for a 
Theme. Something like Theme for each character (especially Raavan's character  
Aishwarya Rai's character). Aishwarya Rai, i heard, plays a classical singer by 
the way.

Re: [arr] Behene De is a monster track

Ok.a bit a about my language..

1) The term eat me is being used figuratively and loosely to describe the 
feeling of being overwhelmed and enraptured by that song, esp. since I 
described that song as a monster.
I thought for once I could use a bit of light, colloquial, symbolic language to 
describe a feeling instead always using high, direct English.  

2) The term freaking unbelievable is meant to describe a superlative feeling 
in a good wayjust too good, amazing, mindblowing.  

I thought people would understand these terms in the context of describing a 
song and not misinterpreting and feeling offended or slighted, but perhaps, in 
this PC world we live in, I was overestimating people's high threshold to feel 
offended.

Well, pardon me, please.

[arr] Indians deserve a place globally: A R Rahman

2010-04-27 Thread Bivin Chandra

A R Rahman is leading a hectic life balancing work in India and Hollywood but 
the musician is not complaining as he wants to bridge the gap between East and 
West through his music.
In June, the music maestro will embark on his 'Jai Ho' tour across the US. 
Rahman says he may be doing more Hollywood stuff but he intends to keep up 
his Bollywood commitments of one or two films a year. The singer-composer, who 
is the only Indian to win two Oscars, a Golden Globe and two Grammys for his 
music in Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire', says his concert is an extension 
of his philosophy.

A lot of things have changed and I got a place here to work. I have a contract 
with Interscope Records...all these things are time demanding to fulfill so my 
time is divided almost half between India and here, Rahman told reporters. The 
44-year-old musician, however, believes that since India has always embraced 
foreign cultures, they deserve a stage in the West.

I wanted to do this concert for many reasons. In the beginning my intention 
was to extend the boundaries of what I was doing for music so we could do 
greater things. It probably is an extension of my philosophy, Rahman said.

After my success I even feel stronger to do this stuff to make a bridge for 
other people to come and if one person succeeds then a lot of other people 
come, he added. Rahman is presently working with artistes like Usher, Nicole 
Scherzinger and Dido. Working abroad has made him realise that there is enough 
space for the two big film industries to produce work on the same platform.

I don't know whether it is right or wrong but what is good is people 
recognising the potential of movies in India and are being more adventurous, 
he said. We don't need acknowledgment from anybody but it's good to have it. 
Rahman also dismisses the lingering criticism that it took a foreign film 
'Slumdog Millionaire', for an Indian to win the Oscar and then a Grammy.

As long as it got recognised I don't bother about all this. It was such a 
small movie and became such a big hit, this is a blessing. Rahman has joined 
hands with Hollywood's creative director Amy Tinkham for his new concert in 14 
cities across North America.

Tinkham, who has worked for pop-music icons, including Britney Spears, the 
Backstreet Boys and Mariah Carey, says the concert will be a mix of Indian 
tradition and modernism. The concert will keep in intact the heritage and 
traditions of India with a new modern presentation. The show will feature 
changing sets, large images on LED screens and a spectacular cast of musicians 
and dancers from across the globe, Tinkham said.

The high-tech, larger-than-life show may be completely opposite of his shy 
persona but the musician says it goes with the music. The music is exuberant 
and it won't do justice to the music to lock it into a room...If you go to a 
Beyonce concert it's mostly about her but in this it's the music that is the 
hero.

[arr] Apunkachoice Reviews Raavan's Music - Sweeps you Away!

Sweeps you away - The Raavan Music Review
By Usha Lakra
Rating: 4/5

2010 has not been much wealthy as far as music albums are concerned which, as a 
whole can become treasures to keep. Yes,Beat! beat! drums! Blow! bugles! blow! 
Through the windows - through doors - burst like a ruthless force. These 
powerful lines by Walt Whitman are just not enough to describe the music of 
Raavan. The songs have tunes and rhythm by A R Rahman and soulful words by 
Gulzar. Stitching it all together is the master craftsman Mani Ratnam, the 
film's director. So, is the killer troika handing us a musical bazooka again?

Brace up for a musical explosion with the first song of the album, Beera, as 
congo beats welcome you to the world of the antagonist Beera (Abhishek 
Bachchan), the mighty and mysterious one who's described as having ten heads 
and hundred names. The track, in the honour of Raavan, is the most intriguing 
composition of the lot, sung by the talented Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane, 
while additional vocals that add drama to the track are by Keerthi Sagathia. 
The song also enthralls you with its fusion of Indian and afro music.

Behne De continues the haunting, captivating mood of `Raavan'. But when the 
song starts, it clearly reminds one of the famous Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai number 
from the movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. The situational track is somber and 
serious, and the feelings expressed as poignant as painful.

Gulzar's poetic genius again shines through in this song. Thok De Killi, Bhagad 
Billi, sung by Sukhwinder Singh, does impress you with its loud, quasi rustic 
and quasi tribal music, but is not a hit in the offing.

There is something inexplicable about the track Ranjha Ranjha belted out 
efficiently by Rekha Bhradwaj and Javed Ali. As the song settles in your heart, 
you are drenched in the richness of Rahman's music. Now that is indescribable.

The thunderous mood gets a balmy touch with the traditional, melodious track 
Khili Re crooned by the first-timer Reena Bhardawaj. With this track Rahman has 
tried to mix contemporary music with retro, quite reminiscent of the 80s 
romantic songs. Indeed, the song gladdens our heart with its melody.

Can you ever forget Kuchi Kuchi Rakma from `Bombay' or Rukmini Kya Hua from 
`Roja'? The gang of Rahman-Ratnam again delivers a song on similar lines. Kata 
Kata with distinct Rajasthani folk rendered by the sensational trio Ila Arun, 
Sapna Awasthi and Kunal Ganjawala has a celebratory tune. No doubt the song is 
picturised on a marriage.

Bewildered, we are now `Raavan'-struck. The bazooka has claimed its victim. 
Simply phenomenal, out of the ordinary, and at times bizarre, the musical score 
of the film doesn't fall short of the expectations. Agreed, some songs are less 
hummable, but it's not easy to break the spell created by the film's music. It 
lingers on for hours and days after.

It's a `Raavan'ous musical treat!

Rating - 4 / 5

Well guys , kata kata has these golden lines , beautifully sung, its the only

  the beauty lies in  the tune in which they are sung, and on the chorus of

Re: [arr] [semi ARR] - the revival of Ila Arun

Well Written there..!!
 
I also admired the very name Ila Arun in the tracklist when i saw for the 
first time..! I always knew that she would rock it up with her earthy and 
rustic voice..!!! Her trademark folksy rendition is always worth enjoying..! 
Not to forget ...Sapna Awasthi as well..!!! Last heard in the mammoth Chaiyya 
Chaiyya.., her distinct voice was long disappeared..!! Good to see these two 
hatke singers binded into one song..!! Hail ARR!!!

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.

[arr] Filmare reviews Raavan

[image: {Raavan}]
Apr 27, 2010 - 05:15 PM Raavan [ 0 ]
http://www.filmfare.com/articles/raavan-796.html#comment


*Director:* AR Rahman
*T Series*
*Rs 160*

Raavan scores from the word go. Beera beera, the opening song, seems to be
the introductory song to Abhishek Bachchan’s character. It reminds you of
Omkara’s title song, which described Ajay Devgn’s character. Gulzar
incidentally has penned both. Let me add here that Gulzar has outdone
himself with his word wizardry. Be it the chant-like Beera, the prayer-like
Khilli re, the Sufisesque Ranjha ranjha, the rhythmic Thok de killi or the
love ballad Behne de (the most poetic of the lot) – Gulzar saab has moulded
his words to fit every situation, they are young and vibrant and show no
signs of ageing.

The same can be said of Rahman’s orchestration too. Every song is different.
They follow different voice and sound patterns. Let’s take Behne de for
instance. The song symbolises the ebb and flow of love and Rahman’s music
too does the same. It’s as if you are suspended on the crest of a wave and
can experience the nuances of the river.

In contrast, Beera has a haunting melody. Drums and human voices are used to
bring out an almost tribal chant. African and calypso influences are
employed to bring out voodoo like effect. Hats off to Kirti Sagathia and
Vijay Prakash for singing this so effectively.
Contrast this with the Sukhwinder Singhj number, Thok de killi, whose
opening bars remind you of Thodi si dhoop from Rang De Basanti. Sukhi has
sung it with a lot of fun, with verve, he’s not gone overtly high pitched
but has sung it in a much mellower tone. Guitar, drums and even the
mridangam are used to create a constant rhythm.

Ranjha ranjha’s opening reminds you of the Akhiyan milaoon (Raja) beat but
then Rahman goes crazy and adds an Arabic twist to it which takes it to
another level. Rekha Bhardwaj is awesome and so is Javed Ali in the
rendition.

Now we come to Khilli re, my personal favourite. This is Rahman of Roja, of
temple bell chants, of ghatam and ghungroo sounds. This is a situational
suhag raat song, sung superbly by new singer Reena Bhardwaj. Rahman has used
sitar, tabla and flute to make inroads into Naushad-Khayyam territory. Take
it out of context and it sounds like some ’60s, ’70s song. Naveen Kumar
(flute) take a bow.

The last song, Kata kata, inverses the Rukmini rukmini (Roja) situation.
There, the song was about the aftermath of the wedding night. Here, the song
is about a would-be-bridegroom. His friends are teasing him that his
bachelor days are over. Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi and Kunal Ganjawala come
together for this folksy song. Rahman uses the Rajasthani vocals and sounds
to perfection, creating an atmosphere where you get transported to the
wedding pandal.

This is another Rahman album which grows on you with repeated listening.
Don’t expect a quick fix, just let go and listen to it on the loop and
you’ll be rewarded with something very earthy and original that’ll create a
place for itself in your heart.

  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.

 AAAaaguuumein...Jal...!!

 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 happenedwhat 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 changeor 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.

 Rahman's albums have always had elements of unconventionality.it's what
 made him so successful and continues to keep him so relevant. However, I
 view 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

Hi everyone I'm enjoying this album from A R R completely. very frankly the 
first time i listened, i was shocked! not a single track which i liked. ( never 
experienced this for any manirathnam's movies even his non A R R ) 

Today i finally started liking all the tracks and true to all Mani and A R R 
combo this is too good.
 
the sound is completely different. Arrangements took a long time for me to sink 
in...but today for about two hrs i could not here to the songs and that's when 
i realized how much i liked it.  

Well going by the songs and the sound i think this movie is going to deal with 
some serious issue...like most of mani's movies

My guess is that Ravan could be about naxalas ..

friends i guess we are in a for a bigger treat in form of the BGM...looking at 
the pics the hard work of the shooting crew would be well complimented by A R R.

The best bgms of A R R have been for Mani's more issue based movies such as 
dilse, bombay, iruvur, kannathil ...going by this I'm sure Ravan's BGM is going 
to be outstanding.

 If A.R's music is of a certain pattern / style, and you are not comfortable

 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.

   described that song as a monster.
   I thought for once I could use a bit of light, colloquial, symbolic
   language to describe a feeling instead always using high, direct
 English.
  
   2) The term freaking unbelievable is meant to describe a superlative
   feeling in a good wayjust too good, amazing, mindblowing.
  
   I thought people would understand these terms in the context of
 describing
   a song and not misinterpreting and feeling offended or slighted, but
   perhaps, in this PC world we live in, I was overestimating people's
 high
   threshold to feel offended.
  
   Well, pardon me, please.

Taimur, very true. Its an immortal album. Taimur, in my view, not only Thiruda 
Thiruda album is immortal, here r my list... if u havent check them out, u 
should give it a try...

1.Thiruda Thiruda (im sure u know in and out of all the songs)

2.Duet (My God, what an album...!! actually, i would rate Duet album higher 
than Thiruda Thiruda)

3.Karuthamma (pure Tamil folk music with modern music/beats...classic!... both 
the version of Porale Ponnuthaiyi is a gem).

4.Iruvar (Wow, wow, wow... says it all)

5. En Swase Katre ( the tittle song, En Swase Katre can easily sweep off any 
songs easily... such soulful song Theendai another great carnatic tune 
blended well with contemporary music, Thirakathe Kaate kulle such blissful 
song and the ever popular Kadhal Nayagara)...

6.Sangamam ( such complete carnatic album from ARRahman. Its just beautiful... 
too good... Sowkiyama, a carnatic tune with saxaphone playing the carnatic 
notes too good...)

7.Uzhavan ( all the songs r too tasty. all the songs have marvelous tunes. 
Pennale Pennale is even sweeter than sugar itself. give it a try)

these albums speaks Quality+Immortality by itself. If u havent gone through 
these songs yet, u should Taimur. :)

 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.

 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.
 Â 
 Â 
 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 
 doingÂ half of what she did in there.
 Â 
 Â 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.

[arr] Sonu Nigaam's song axed from Raavan?

 Sonu Nigaam's song axed from Raavan? *By:* Entertainment Team  *Date:*
2010-04-27  *Place:* Mumbai


Singer surprised it is not included in the just released album


  Sonu Nigaam recently tweeted about not being informed about the Raavan
music launch on Saturday, even though he had recorded a song for the film.
On Monday, he tweeted, Ravana's music launched. I am a part of it, and I
learnt about it from the TV. An hour after tweeting this message, he
withdrew it, when he realised his song is not a part of the album. He then
tweeted, Sang for Ravana. Guess the song doesn't exist anymore. The one in
Tamil is still there by the way. So don't bother guys.

Sonu still doesn't know what happened to the song, whether music director A
R Rahman just didn't include it in the album or had it recorded again by
someone else.

Sonu and Rahman have earlier worked on several hit songs including Kismet se
tum (Pukar), Satrangi re (Dil Se), Ishq Bina (Taal), Saathiya (Saathiya),
Rang De Basanti, Sarfaroshi ki tamanna (Legend of Bhagat Singh), and In
lamhon ke daaman mein (Jodhaa Akbar)

[arr] Do Tamil Ravan movie and Hindi RAvan movie have different stories?

hearing so much about Tamil music of the film having more songs 
compared to Hindi movie.

How is it possible if it is essentially the same story scene by scene. 
Does it mean some particular song has been patched into the tamil 
movie just like that, excluding which (and its visuals) will not 
affect the film at all?

Then why are these tamil-specific such songs put in the tamil version

Ranjha ranjha is surely Bhairavi..no where close 2 Peelu...Bhairavi is a 
complete Raga...the composer has the liberty of using all 12 swaras in this 
raga..so sumwer u may feel glimpses of another raga...but the base is 
Bhairavi...
Thok de killi also is based on Bhairavi..apart frm the 1st Shehnai interlude... 
it resembles a lot 2 interlude of 'Rang hai' frm Meenaxi wer ARR hs quite 
intellegently transposed the scale..makin it sound completely diff frm 
Bhairavi...in Thok de..also he's used a major scale 1st  then returning bk 2 
Bhairavi (minor scale)the fusion is awesum..Agree with ur 'Spirit of 
Rangeela' similarity..
m completely hookd on 2 this album
Khilli re is vivid in its raga-appeal. ..lots of glimpses of Pahadi,Kalavati, 
Patdeep,Yaman. ..
the interlude is a cracker...vintage stuff here! The antara sounds a lot like a 
Naushad or S.D.Burman song specially in the lines' Saari raat mehki hai...sej 
suhani kar jaa'...he's used a Komal Dhaivat...sounds a lot like S.D's Bandini

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.

   Ok.a bit a about my language ..
 
 
 
 1) The term eat me is being used figuratively and loosely to describe the 
 feeling of being overwhelmed and enraptured by that song, esp. since I 
 described that song as a monster.
 
 I thought for once I could use a bit of light, colloquial, symbolic language 
 to describe a feeling instead always using high, direct English.  
 
 
 
 2) The term freaking unbelievable is meant to describe a superlative 
 feeling in a good wayjust too good, amazing, mindblowing.  
 
 
 
 I thought people would understand these terms in the context of describing a 
 song and not misinterpreting and feeling offended or slighted, but perhaps, 
 in this PC world we live in, I was overestimating people's high threshold to 
 feel offended.
 
 
 
 Well, pardon me, please.

[arr] More thoughts on Raavan's music..........shortest ARR album ever?

Guys,

What a powerful album this is...powerful in the sense that it's so 
concentratedone of ARR's most emotionally concentrated albums in a very, 
very long time.  There are so many haunting effects spread throughout this gem. 
 For an album that's so short in length, boy does it have the punch!!!  Each 
song delivers a different mood, a different feel, a different sound and the 
pure emotions in each song are so powerfully communicated, never diluted. What 
a range and what an impact  I'm so grateful that I'm sensitive enough 
musically and emotionally to appreciate what ARR has done herehis hard work 
for this creative masterpiece.  

There's so much going on arrangement wise and instrumentally in each 
track.it's just amazingand because the sound is so crisp, nothing ever 
sounds cluttered or jammed...each layer, each track is crisp and very audible.  
 

I wonder if this album is the shortest film album that ARR has ever made...at 
just under 30 minutes!  Can anyone check this?

As much as I love the music and feel that this album is a sure classic and one 
of ARR's finest works, there's a lingering frustrating feeling when the album 
finishes..perhaps due to the length...I just feel there should be at 
least one more track!  I can't get rid of this feeling!  It's like sitting down 
to the most delicious meal you've ever tasted, but you can only have one 
serving in small portions.  At the end, you've savored the exquisite taste, but 
still want more!  

Some of the songs, like Khili and Beera, have only one antara and you feel like 
the song should just continue for another couple of minutes with another antara 
or stanza.  Beera barely has a music interlude too.  

Anyway, these are just minor things.I am getting more and more addicted to 
this album everyday.

As you've read my first review on it, which was an overall broad review, I may 
write a second song by song review once I'm able to figure out all the small 
musical intricacies in each song.  I'll need a lot of headphone time with this 
album until then!

2010-04-27 Thread pravindersheoran

Hi Rawat,
Thanks for the hard work there.
I guess this was the toughest song to translate.

I can help in the line:

'Ho na gori na angoori bohari lagaiyo na'
(hey beutiful, don't let your colors fade, don't sweep the floors there)

Although I am from Haryana, I come from a village near Rajasthan
Both Haryanavi and Rajasthani are extremly close to my heart.
I was really really surprised that Gulzaar Saab wrote this much tough lines in 
Rajasthani, and then ARR composed exactly the same way the people in Rajasthan 
would love to hear.

Oh my, these guys are wonderfull.
Long live ARR and Guljaar

Pravinder.

[arr] Narendra Modi disapproves ARRs song ???

2010-04-27 Thread Thulasi Ram

Busy in last minute mentoring of 1st May Gujarat’s golden jubilee
celebrations, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday rejected a
newly made song on Gujarat golden jubilee theme, composed by Oscar and
Grammy award winner Bollywood music director A.R.Rehman reportedly due to
“lacking of essence of Gujaratism in it”.

According to exclusive story published in Gujarati daily Gujarat Samachar on
Monday, a song “Dhanya hu thai gayo ahi janma je maro thayo” written by
Gujarat based lyricist and actor Dilip Raval for 1st May Gujarat day
function was composed by AR Rehman and recorded at Kirti Sagathiya’s
recording studio. As the final product was ready, the song was played before
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at his bungalow on Sunday for his
approval.

However Modi seemed not in joy, when the song was being played. As soon as
the song was over, Modi reacted and reportedly said, “this song has nowhere
a tint of Gujarat. Neither its lyrics are powerful nor its beat has Gujarati
essence. This song would not work. You should prepare some other song.”

“It is not necessary that you rope in some big musician like AR Rehman only.
The musician can let say some local person also, but the final product
should have enough essence to propel Gujaratism in listener’s self,” Modi
reportedly instructed the officials present at his bungalow.

[arr] My Unconventional Review of Raavan's Music (Revised)

Sorry about this, guys.  I made the same mistake again...jumped the gun too 
soon.  Anyway, here's the final draft.  Hope you enjoy it.

AAAaaguuumein...Jal\
...!!

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 feel that Raavan's musical strengths and
identity lie 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
happenedwhat 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 changeor 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.

Rahman's albums have always had elements of unconventionality.it's what made
him so successful and continues to keep him so relevant. However, I view 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

  Sonu Nigaam's song axed from Raavan? *By:* Entertainment Team  *Date:*
 2010-04-27  *Place:* Mumbai
 
 
 Singer surprised it is not included in the just released album
 
 
   Sonu Nigaam recently tweeted about not being informed about the Raavan
 music launch on Saturday, even though he had recorded a song for the film.
 On Monday, he tweeted, Ravana's music launched. I am a part of it, and I
 learnt about it from the TV. An hour after tweeting this message, he
 withdrew it, when he realised his song is not a part of the album. He then
 tweeted, Sang for Ravana. Guess the song doesn't exist anymore. The one in
 Tamil is still there by the way. So don't bother guys.
 
 Sonu still doesn't know what happened to the song, whether music director A
 R Rahman just didn't include it in the album or had it recorded again by
 someone else.
 
 Sonu and Rahman have earlier worked on several hit songs including Kismet se
 tum (Pukar), Satrangi re (Dil Se), Ishq Bina (Taal), Saathiya (Saathiya),
 Rang De Basanti, Sarfaroshi ki tamanna (Legend of Bhagat Singh), and In

Music: A R Rahman
Released by: T-Series
Rating: * * * * (out of 5)

Being A R Rahman can't be easy. It's one thing to be competing with the best in
the business, but when the toughest competitor around is yourself, that's when
things get worse. The maestro is back with one of the most awaited albums of
the year, Raavan, where he collaborates with director Mani Ratnam and lyricist
Gulzar (the three of them can safely be said to constitute the Holy Trinity of
Bollywood music).

It's only natural, then, to approach an album like this with super-high
expectations and, sure enough, the music of Raavan does not disappoint. It
ranks, along with Ishqiya, as the best album of 2010 so far, and will probably
end up within the top five of the year.

Is it Rahman's best? No, but it comes close. The music of Raavan is earthy,
percussive and full of imaginative arrangements, but it doesn't scale the same
heights as Roja, Bombay, Dil Se or even Delhi-6. It's clear that many of the
songs are made for the screen, and will appeal more to some listeners once the
videos or the movie itself is out.

That said, this is one hell of a Rahman sucker-punch that should keep listeners
hooked (this reviewer listened to the entire album thrice in the same day). The
album opens with the eminently hummable `Beera', which is clearly an ode to the
titular character Beera essayed by Abhishek Bachchan. Sung by Kirti Sagathia
and Vijay Prakash, this one has chartbuster written all over it and has a nice
folk-rock vibe.

The second track, `Behne De', is an aggressive tour-de-force for singer Karthik
who gets just the right amount of angst in his vocals. With arrangements that
include lush strings, a choir, electronic synth leads and a deliciously angry
electric guitar riff, one can already imagine an adrenaline-pumping montage cut
to this brilliant track in the film.

This level of energy is carried over to the next track, `Thok De Killi'. Here,
Gulzar's lyrics take centre-stage with lines that speak of revolution and
violence, and, really, who better than Sukhwinder Singh to convey that feel,
right? The singer goes all out, while Rahman keeps pace with some impressive
orchestral arrangements.

This leads to the magnum opus of the album, `Ranjha Ranjha'. Sung by Rekha
Bharadwaj, Javed Ali and Anuradha Sriram, this song packs a wallop imagine
`Maiyya Maiyya' from Guru combined with `Liquid Dance' from Slumdog
Millionaire. Gulzar's poetry scales new heights sample the line `jalti raakh
laga ley maathey lagey toh chandan hoy' and when the delectably fuzzy bass
kicks in, your foot will start tapping of its own accord no matter where you
are at that moment.

Rekha Bharadwaj's delectably silken vocals come once again in the next song, a
soft and romantic semi-classical number, `Khili Re'. While Rahman's
arrangements are interesting, the song doesn't compare to a `Badi Dheere Jali'
(from Ishqiya) in terms of creating an atmosphere; however, after the
aggressive gale-force nature of the tracks preceding it, this one comes as a
pleasant zephyr. The album ends with the heavily percussive `Kata Kata', whose
lyrics compare a bachelor getting married to a lamb headed for slaughter. Sung
with tremendous energy by Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi and Kunal Ganjawala, this is
one song that will look and sound better on screen than it does on the album.

The good news: Rahman's only getting better with age. His music is growing more
complex in terms of arrangements and the production quality is par excellence.
Some might complain that the music of Raavan doesn't have as much melodic
strength as, say, a Lagaan, which is absolutely true. However, the music has to
fit the film, and in that regard, Rahman has hit the bulls-eye as usual. The
Holy Trinity can rack up another notch to their credit.

  AAAaaguuumein...Jal...!!
 
  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 happenedwhat 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 changeor 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.
 
  Rahman's albums have always had elements of unconventionality.it's what
  made him so successful and continues to keep him so relevant. However,

 Guys,
 
 What a powerful album this is...powerful in the sense that it's so 
 concentratedone of ARR's most emotionally concentrated albums in a very, 
 very long time.  There are so many haunting effects spread throughout this 
 gem.  For an album that's so short in length, boy does it have the punch!!!  
 Each song delivers a different mood, a different feel, a different sound and 
 the pure emotions in each song are so powerfully communicated, never diluted. 
 What a range and what an impact  I'm so grateful that I'm sensitive 
 enough musically and emotionally to appreciate what ARR has done herehis 
 hard work for this creative masterpiece.  
 
 There's so much going on arrangement wise and instrumentally in each 
 track.it's just amazingand because the sound is so crisp, nothing 
 ever sounds cluttered or jammed...each layer, each track is crisp and very 
 audible.   
 
 I wonder if this album is the shortest film album that ARR has ever made...at 
 just under 30 minutes!  Can anyone check this?
 
 As much as I love the music and feel that this album is a sure classic and 
 one of ARR's finest works, there's a lingering frustrating feeling when the 
 album finishes..perhaps due to the length...I just feel there should 
 be at least one more track!  I can't get rid of this feeling!  It's like 
 sitting down to the most delicious meal you've ever tasted, but you can only 
 have one serving in small portions.  At the end, you've savored the exquisite 
 taste, but still want more!  
 
 Some of the songs, like Khili and Beera, have only one antara and you feel 
 like the song should just continue for another couple of minutes with another 
 antara or stanza.  Beera barely has a music interlude too.  
 
 Anyway, these are just minor things.I am getting more and more addicted 
 to this album everyday.
 
 As you've read my first review on it, which was an overall broad review, I 
 may write a second song by song review once I'm able to figure out all the 
 small musical intricacies in each song.  I'll need a lot of headphone time 
 with this album until then!

Taimur, very true. Its an immortal album. Taimur, in my view, not only Thiruda 
Thiruda album is immortal, here r my list... if u havent check them out, u 
should give it a try...

1.Thiruda Thiruda (im sure u know in and out of all the songs)

2.Duet (My God, what an album...!! actually, i would rate Duet album higher 
than Thiruda Thiruda)

3.Karuthamma (pure Tamil folk music with modern music/beats. ..classic! ... 
both the version of Porale Ponnuthaiyi is a gem).

4.Iruvar (Wow, wow, wow... says it all)

5. En Swase Katre ( the tittle song, En Swase Katre can easily sweep off any 
songs easily... such soulful song Theendai another great carnatic tune 
blended well with contemporary music, Thirakathe Kaate kulle such blissful 
song and the ever popular Kadhal Nayagara )...

6.Sangamam ( such complete carnatic album from ARRahman. Its just beautiful... 
too good... Sowkiyama, a carnatic tune with saxaphone playing the carnatic 
notes too good...)

7.Uzhavan ( all the songs r too tasty. all the songs have marvelous tunes. 
Pennale Pennale is even sweeter than sugar itself. give it a try)

these albums speaks Quality+Immortality by itself. If u havent gone through 
these songs yet, u should Taimur. :)
