Resul Pookutty and A R Rahman

 The three Oscar winners, A R Rahman, Resul Pookutty and Gulzar, who took
India to the Acadamy Awards with their contribution to the award-winning
Slumdog Millionaire, were seen once again sharing the same platform.

Only this time, it wasn’t for Danny Boyle! It was a literary do in honour of
sound expert Resul and the legendary musician Rahman and lyricist Gulzar
graced the event where the Governor of Maharashtra K Sankaranarayan was the
chief guest.

It’s not often that you get to see the trio together, what with all three of
them leading such busy ‘musical’ lives. So to watch them and support Resul,
many celebs turned up on Friday evening at a suburban five star hotel. S
Sreesanth, Parvati Omnakuttan, Priyanka Shah,

Tisca Chopra, Raj Zutshi, Aditya Hitkari with wife Divya Palat, and others
were present too.

Re: [arr] Re: HT Interview

2010-05-14 Thread V S Rawat

ARR had said that Mani gave him "minimal" guidelines for developing 
any song, just a rough situation, and leaving remaining to ARR to come 
up with the song. So, I think Mani is not interfering in the song 
creating process, that might be a connotation of being the boss.

Still, he has to fit song in the film and if he got 3 songs developed 
that he couldn't fit in the movie now, that is just poor utilization 
of his skills and resources that he has got a genie called ARR who 
will create great music for him, so he misuses ARR talents and makes 
him develop songs that has no place in the film.

He didn't put thayya thayya in dil de. that was the smallest song of 
the album, just one stanza, how long was it? 3 min? 4 min? and how can 
he couldn't find a 5 min slot for such a great song in his film? He 
could have shown at least the location where he wanted to put this 
song, the way Bose had just first two lines of that female lori.

I think Mani doesn't take ARR's music seriously if he wastes 3 songs 
of ARR.

Taimur ji

I don't think anyone felt bad at your criticism of Ravan

because we all ravan lover know in our heart that ravan is great and 
we are happy to get our vintage arr of 90s back after a decade in ravan.

I think only those feel bad on criticism who have some iota of doubt 
in their mind about the quality of a song. When we are absolutely sure 
that it is great song, we don't feel bad at criticism, we feel pity on 
the persons who don't get to like such a great album.

Re: [arr] Khili re... an Ultimate melody...

O man dont start another war of words, i excused so as to clearly convey that 
RAAVAN is not to my liking but apologized because many feel bad about i being 
so critical. 
 
tell you i am not the one who will compose all praise mails so that the group 
loves it and i getting favourable responses. i write what i feel about the 
songs, raavan songs couldnt fit to my music sense that was the excuse and 
apologized for that matter.i am sure you will be cleared now. i  welcome any 
criticism coming on to me i am as humble as you like.
 
now please dont get confused listen to sun ri sakhi second interlude flute you 
will get relaxed . have a good time .

"your" frequent down ratings of Raavan.

[arr] 'Bombay Dreams' heads to big screen

'Bombay Dreams' heads to big screen
Webber musical features music by 'Slumdog's' A.R. Rahman

By Gregg Kilday

May 14, 2010, 12:02 PM ET
CANNES -- "Bombay Dreams," the stage musical produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber
with music from Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman, is getting the big-screen
treatment via Beverly Hills-based production company Marquee Pictures.

Deepa Mehta will direct the film, Marquee's first theatrical release, from a
screenplay by "Monson Wedding" writer Sabrina Dhawan.

The musical hit the London stage in 2002 and ran for two years. In 2004, it
was produced on Broadway, where it picked up three Tonys.

Marquee, established with an eye toward transferring stage musicals to film,
is headed by former Universal executive Jeff Segal, former ICM agent and
producer Steve Waterman, Arclight Films president Gary Hamilton and Azure
Media Group chairman Steve Wilkinson. Jack Crosby, former chairman of the
Sundance Film Institute, serves as Marquee chairman.

The "Bombay" film adaptation will be produced in association with Webber's
Really Useful Group and also is expected to take on an Indian production
partner.

Principal photography of the Bombay-set romantic tale is set for 2011 in
Mumbai.

Arclight is repping sales of the film outside the U.S.

[arr] Floodgates finally open for Kapur's 'Water'

Floodgates finally open for Kapur's 'Water' Oscar-winning director secures
$30 mil for pet project

By Stuart Kemp

May 14, 2010, 12:51 PM ET
RelatedShekhar Kapur plays Russian Roulette with
'Water'
CANNES -- Oscar winner Shekhar Kapur will direct "Paani" (Water) from a
script by David Farr, having secured the $30 million budget from Swarovski
Entertainment and Adlabs founder-turned-producer Manmohan Shetty.

The project idea has occupied Kapur's mind for 10 years and, after pressure
from fellow filmmaker Danny Boyle and Shetty's insistance that "he gets on
and makes it before it's too late," Kapur plans to shoot in November with
additional backing from Walk Water in Singapore, Dubai and on large
purpose-built sets being designed by John Myrhe.

Boyle will get a producer credit of some kind for his efforts, Kapur said
and the project also marks the first full-length feature backed by
Swarovski's start-up entertainment arm.

A. R. Rahman has written two original songs for the project, Kapur said.

The project is a love story set in a mega city in a future where precious
H20 has all but run out and corporations go to war over its control. The
city is divided into two conflicting halves, in which the upper city hoards
all the water and drip feeds the slums of the lower city. A girl from the
upper tier meets a water rat boy and falls in love against this backdrop.

Swarovski backed the project after Kapur wrote and directed short film
"Passage" in Buenos Aires last year as its first project. Kapur said he
plans to make the $30 million budget look like $150 million and will aim to
seal a negative pickup studio deal with the aim of ensuring the finished
film is seen by as many people as possible.

[image: More Cannes
coverage]
"We want and have to get this story out there as widely as we can," Kapur
said. "Luckily, with the partners we have now, we can go and make it without
needing to go to the studios to get money, but will want it on lots of
screens. Water conservation is an important issue for me so this is a film
very close to my heart."

One of the key drivers behind the project is an aim to bring the growing
global issue of a world without clean, drinking water and the threat to
humanity it reps to the top of the global political agenda. "Blue Covenant"
author Maude Barlowe is aboard and hopes Kapur's film will play a part in
taking awareness to a whole new level.

[arr] Re: HT Interview

2010-05-14 Thread AJ

So, there you go...those who are complaining of Raavan's music, keep these 
2 things in mind from this ARR interview:

1) "Mani is the boss"
2) "It's not about having done a great song or having worked hard on the music. 
 It's always about what's good for the movie."

Period.

Re: [arr] Khili re... an Ultimate melody...

2010-05-14 Thread Arijit Debnath

Hello Taimur :)

1st of all you're excusing all Rahmaniacs for "your" criticism on Raavan
music again you're asking apology to those Rahmaniacs who felt bad about
"your" frequent down ratings of Raavan.

I can really understand your conditions here and got traumatized looking at
your sense and sensibilities... I think ironically you have a dual state of
mind based on which you listen to music and compose emails... and others got
confused...

Pls excuse me or I ask you apology if you feel bad (however I'll not dare to
excuse you if I say something BAD)...

Does anyone here know who will be accompanying AR at the Jai Ho concerts in 
terms of singers? Especially in London. Would be grateful for any info on this. 
Trying to sell the event to non-ar  fans so would be useful to be able to name 
a few singers to entice them in ;) and then when they come they'll know what 
AR's music can do to you.  

Thanks

[arr] Resul Pookutty's Autobiography Launch

 Resul Pookutty's Autobiography Launch[Friday, May 14, 2010]

Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty brought out his autobiography on
Thursday, in Mumbai. Titled ‘Sabdatharapadham’ (Way of sound track), the
Malayalam copy was unveiled by Mozart of Madras AR Rahman along with
Maharashtra Governor K. Sankaranarayanan. Eminent lyricist Gulzar was also
present on the dais.

According to Pookutty, the book is a travelogue of an ordinary person who
confronts extraordinary situations. Earlier he had said to media, “Both
Rahman and I were asked to write our autobiographies after the Oscars.” The
English version of the book is reported to be released a little later.

Also present for the event were Tisca Chopra, Parvathy Omanakuttan,
Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Aditya Hitkari, Divya Palat and other noted
people.

  Apologies if this has already been answered, but does anyone know if this 
song, supposedly an unreleased song from Raavan, is authentic or not? I haven't 
heard it but I have seen this mentioned so I was just wondering.

[arr] Mannipaaya - Have to read this [1 Attachment]

Please download the attachment:) Listen carefully to how AR sings this part. It 
is the last line he sings in the song. When he sings "yenna seiven", you can 
hear a mild chuckle (in a sad way). It's like he is really complaining/asking. 
What I am trying to say is, the way he sings this particular part really brings 
out the emotion the lyrics is trying to trigger in the listeners. 
Unfortunately, in the audio, the music is a little too loud for this to be 
noticed... I really hope you guys get what I was trying to say. :)

May 14, 2010 Home  > More
news The
theme song for the World Classical Tamil Conference to be held in Coimbatore
in June 2010 will be composed by A R Rahman. The composing work is underway
and Rahman, true to his style, is creating a symphony of sorts for the theme
song. The list of singers who would render voice for the song gets longer
every single day.

Latest heard, singers who will be part of the song include Hariharan,
Nityasree, Chinmayi, G V Prakash and Rehana. Besides, it’s also learnt that
Yuvan Shankar Raja is also singing for the theme song, which also brings the
legendary TMS in front of the mike after decades. MP Kanimozhi is also
involved in discussions with Rahman regarding the composition, we hear

[arr] Rahman: Honour from home

Rahman: Honour from home


Tomorrow’s function to launch the theme song for the
World Classical Tamil Conference has got a new highlight now. For the
State government has decided to honour A R Rahman, who has composed
music for the song, for bringing home the Oscars and the Grammy. 
An official communication said Chief Minister M
Karunanidhi, who has penned lyrics for the theme song ‘Pirapokkum Ella
Uyirkkum….’ will felicitate Rahman at the function to be held at the
Centenary Auditorum of the Madras University.
Besides, there will be a concert by Drummer Sivamani
at the event to be attended by music legend L Subramaniam, filmmaker
Gautham Vasudev Menon (director for the song’s visual version), Central
and State Ministers, top officials and Tamil scholars.
The song is said to be quite an audio-visual treat,
besides being a fine tribute to the classical language. Over 50
top-notch artists from different genres, including playback music,
Carnatic, folk and Sufi have participated in this rare, special
confluence.
The song would be played at theatres, on television
channels and other forums in the run-up to the conference to be held in
June, in Coimbatore. According to Rahman, he only saw this opportunity
as a boon to pay a tribute to Tamil through the anthem.
