Re: Heres the confusion: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?
I have the Boy's DTS audio cd, and I can confirm that, I get to hear 5 different channels from each speaker. You can play this disc only if you have DTS decoder player. I cannot play this cd in ordinary cd players that do not have DTS decoder. I could upload this for you some where, pm me.

Re: [arr] Disappointed by an ARR album?
and for those who are constantly disappointed and complaining, may be it is because you have a different musical taste. try some other music and see if it pleases you. you are not *required* to be an ARR fan for ever. On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 5:22 AM, AJ purev...@yahoo.com wrote: After reading some preposterous comments all over the net relatedDI people's reactions to Raavan's music, here's what I have to say: When you are disappointed by an ARR album, here's what it means: - You have a right to express your disappointment without being disrespectful to ARR or his team. If your words are disrespectful, expect some backlash. - You may need more time with it to settle in and become more familiar. Even after that you don't like it, the music is just not your taste. - It means that your disappointment is your opinion and should be respected as one, which may be shared by others. Here's what your disappointment does NOT mean: - It does NOT mean that ARR's genius is fading or that he needs to be replaced by that particular director for whose film he created music. - It does NOT mean that your opinion is fact. Even if your opinion is shared by a lot of others, it does not make it so. Every ARR album has takers and leavers with very few receiving 100% praise or full consensus, if even that. - It does NOT give you the right to ignore or diminish the hard work that goes into every ARR album, whether you like the music or not. If you express such views, expect some backlash. -- --- http://roshanravi.com http://ramblingsoul.com http://cssheaven.org

Taimur, i have been listening to Ravanan songs for a few days, in my car or when im using the pc, and i feel otherwise. This album would easily find its place in the top 5 of Mani-ARR combo. Lovely songs. It has that typical ARR-Mani touch. Esp Usere poguthey, Keda Kari and Khili Re.The rest sounds new, but its rocking 2 bro. I think u should give it more time. :) Btw,im not sure why everyone was criticizing Anuradha Sriram in Kaate Siriki... I think she sounds cool there. After listening to the Hindi version, im guessing the Tamil number was recorded first? coz the Hindi version has Anuradha's rendition in the second interlude. Ranjha Ranjha sounds good too.

Friends, This Charu is the guy who supported Nithiyananda and now he has no better work, hence wrote a open letter to ARR.

Re: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?
I think DVD Audio CD is another multi channel format. Both SACD and DVD Audio did not catch on and or on their way out. I am finding it really hard or expensive to find SACDs. In my opinion unless the original artist endorses the multi channel mix like Pink Floyd did for DSoM and Depeche Mode did for their remasters or the original recording itself is in Sorround, it can sound gimmicky. Yes it would be a dream to have an AR release on SACD mastered by the man himself!

[arr] Hans Zimmer's Inception: I wish ARR does something like this!
Guys just check out the mindblowing BGM of this trailer. Hans Zimmer has composed such a killer score. I wish ARR does something like this. but that is only possible if he gets more (and bigger) Hollywood projects given that this kind of mystery/thriller/horror movies are not made in India. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66TuSJo4dZM /Jahanzeb

Raavanan/Raavan Songs Easily the worst Soundtrack-album among all Manirathnam movies ever made. That by inference means that this is the worst effort from ARR-Mani combo. Beating Guru takes some effort and they managed to suck so bad that Guru looks better now. I am thinking - is this also ARR's worst album ever? Or has ARR made albums worse than this? Either way Mani needs to find a new Music Director, he has waited too long to dump ARR. Yuvan Shankar Raja would be my recommendation. p.s: don't even try the thamizh version. I thought DilSe(Tamil) DilSe(Hindi) and DIlSe (Hindi) was awesome. But Raavanan is so bad that it reminds me of songs from 80s tamil movies that were dubbed versions of telugu movies. http://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/2010/05/raavananraavan-songs.html Labels: a r rahmanhttp://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/search/label/a%20r%20rahman , manirathnam http://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/search/label/manirathnam, raavan http://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/search/label/raavan, raavananhttp://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/search/label/raavanan , Yuvan Shankar Rajahttp://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/search/label/Yuvan%20Shankar%20Raja *POSTED BY HAWKEYE AT 11:58 AMhttp://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/2010/05/raavananraavan-songs.html * http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7278237postID=565523391410681120 3 COMMENTS:[image: Blogger] Karthikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00612390361279820377 said...

[arr] Raavanan - The Real Hero
Raavanan - The Real HeroIndiaGlitz [Wednesday, May 12, 2010] Perhaps this is the most anticipated film in recent times. Rightly so given the cast and crew assembled. Produced and directed by Mani Ratnam, ‘Raavanan’ stars Vikram, Aishwarya Rai and Prithviraj in the lead roles. The other cast comprises Prabhu, Karthik, Priyamani, Ranjitha, Munna and others. ‘Raavanan’ is inspired from the Asokavanam episode in Ramayanam. It is a modern day version of the episode where Raavanan kidnaps Sita and keeps her in Asokavanam. Later Raman ventures to save his wife and bring her back. The story of ‘Raavanan’ is said to be this. Dev (Prithviraj) is a police officer who falls in love with a classical dancer Ragini (Aishwarya Rai) and marries her. Post marriage Dev is posted in a tribal town controlled by Veera (Vikram) whose writs alone control the people of the town. Veera, the warlord is seen as challenger and the law enforcers lead by Dev believe the key to bringing order to the place is to crush Veera. In an attempt to vanquish Vikram, Prithviraj misses the target and kills Priyamani who is the sister of Vikram. An infuriated, Vikram kidnaps Aishwarya Rai and takes her into the forest. This draws Prithviraj into the forest and the forest becomes their battle ground. The dense, confusing and scary jungle sets in motion a string of events which test their beliefs and change their fortunes. When Prithviraj finds Aishwarya in the jungle he suspects her womanhood. A new battle then begins which becomes a battle between good and evil; Raavanan and Raman and at the end they all confront many truths. You can be sure of a startling climax typical of the creative genius Mani Ratnam. So how are the characters in Ramanyam linked? Prithviraj plays a character inspired by Raman, Vikram enacts the role of Raavanan and Aishwarya the role of Sita. The supporting characters are also worked out something like this. Karthik is the modern day Hanuman and Munna is the brother Lakshmanan. Priyamani plays the role of Raavanan's sister Soorpanakai. The role played by Prabhu and Ranjitha are not known yet. ‘Raavanan’ brings together Prabhu and Karthik after more than a decade. The have the same fire they had in ‘Agni Natchathram’. Vikram has said “Acting in ‘Raavanan’ is like being part of three Mani Ratnam projects, because, each and every scene was shot thrice” Aishwarya also has an equally powerful role. Probably this is the film which would bring out the real talents of Aishwarya. The contemporary and modern Indian classical dancer Astad Deboo has choreographed a climactic life and death dance sequence with a tandav of passion, revenge and liberation for Ash. This is a fusion of kathak, ballet and contemporary dance which will show Ash in a new light. The steps are complex and new and Ash had danced bare feet on slippery ground. She also did the steps twice over and in quick succession, first with Abhishek for the Hindi and then with Vikram for the Tamil. Another surprise from Aishwarya is going to be her voice in Tamil. Ash has painstaking dubbed her voice for Tamil and nobody will be able to say she is not a Tamilian after hearing her speak. And making her more beautiful in the film is the celebrated fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee who has designed clothes for Ash in ‘Raavanan’. The film was extensively shot in numerous locations around India including Pollachi, Ooty, Chalakudy, Athirapally of Kerala, Jhansi, Kolkata, Mahabaleshwar and in the Malshej Ghats in Maharashtra. Picturesque locations like the forest near the Athirapally waterfalls in Kerala is going to be real treat to the eyes. Athirapally waterfalls seem to be Mani's favourite location as had filmed ‘Uyire’ song “Ennuyire”, and the ‘Guru’ song “Venmegam” at the same location earlier. The cinematography is by Santosh Sivan, who replaced Manikandan as the cameraman and he has given the film a never before seen look and feel. Mani Ratnam – Santosh Sivan duo has worked wonders before in blockbuster like ‘Roja’, ‘Thalapathi’, ‘Iruvar’ and ‘Uyire’. ‘Raavanan’ has numerous action scenes of the Kerala martial art form kalarippayattu. Kalatipattu exponents Sunil and his brothers who have trained celebrities like SRK and Jackie Chan have composed the action scenes. ‘Raavanan’ is a tri-lingual also made simultaneously in Hindi as ‘Raavan’ and ‘Villain’ in Telugu. With Abhiskek Bachchan playing the title role and Vikram plays the role of Rama. Aishwarya Rai plays the role of Sita in all three versions. Audience expects ‘Ravannan’ to be the best of Mani till date. By raising intriguing questions on the protagonist like did such a man ever exist? Is ‘Raavanan’ the line that divides Good from Evil? Is there a Ram inside Raavan? And a Raavan inside each of us? Mani Ratnam has opened our minds to question our conscience. Music of the movie is composed by Oscar winner A R Rahman with lyrics penned by Vairamuthu. It features 6 songs and the music was soft launched
