[arr] Rahman,the most downloaded Indian artist
Rahman,the most downloaded Indian artist Britain has become the top country to download Bollywood music abroad while AR Rahman has been declared the most downloaded Indian artist, according to a new research . Bollywood tracks have found particular favour with listeners in Britain, where over one in four tracks downloaded is a Bollywood song. Following suit in the downloading department are Singaporeans at the second spot, who are responsible for nearly a third (31 per cent) of all Indian music downloads outside India. While Finland and Germany occupy the third and fourth slots respectively, Australian music fans account for a fifth of the global total. The UAE, South Africa, Switzerland, Mexico and Russia round off the top 10 respectively. In India, Bollywood songs represent over half of all downloaded tracks (54 per cent), with western pop and ghazal next in line. Among Indian artistes, Oscar-award winning music composer AR Rahman leads the way as the world’s most downloaded Indian artiste. He is followed in popularity by playback singer Sonu Nigam, JoJo, Himesh Reshammiya and Shaan. Udit Narayan, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Salim-Sulaiman occupy the rest of the spots in that order. The research was conducted by a mobile phone company based on the number of downloaded songs across 35 countries until mid-March 2010. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/Music/Rahmanthe-most-downloaded-Indian-artist/articleshow/5985261.cms

In any event, my previous post was specifically drawn to answer Mr. Rawat's contention that younger female singers are at par with the veteran singers. Without further diverting from the topic, I would like to reiterate that Karthik has done a marvelous job both in Behne de and Usure Pogadhe and he deserves all the accolades and credits for a job well done here. Correct me if I'm wrong but your argument was that Sonu and Sukhwinder are more deserving singers as compared to Karthik and you believe that they would done a better job in Behne De. I, for one find it futile to bring Sonu or Sukhwinder into this picture. Don't get me wrong for I've nothing against these two great singers but if ARR decided to have Karthik's voice in Behne De then I'm very sure he has very good reasons for the well-made decision. For one, there is something very unique about Karthik's voice which makes him stand far apart from his contemporaries. He has a deep voice which he uses with great effectiveness. They touch you soul when sung in the low notes and they give you goose bumps when sung in the high notes. And these qualities are very much apparent and (judging from the lyrics) essential to Behne De and Usure Pogathe. Quote - My only submission was that perhaps ARR is being overloaded with too many projects (national and international, collabs etc.) and hence the effort to give a song to the most deserving singer (one who is conversant with the genre and language) - is somewhere getting diluted. Perhaps you're giving ARR less credit than he deserves. I don't believe ARR would compromise on the quality of any of his projects in favour for another. Then again, I don't understand how ARR being overloaded with work has anything to do with the selection of singers. In any event, Sonu and Sukhwinder did sing a song each for Raavan. (It was most unfortunate that Sonu's song got axed but that's not the issue here.) My contention is that if ARR had wanted Sonu or Sukhwinder or any other singers to sing Behne De, then he would most certainly have got them to do so. But clearly he wanted to credit Karthik with this number and it's my humble opinion that ARR has made an apt choice here. --- On Thu, 5/27/10, Gopal Anandan agop...@... wrote: From: Gopal Anandan agop...@...

ARR has introduced so many female singers,you can name any female singer and find that her first ARR song is great and doesn't give any slightest indications that it could be her first song. To begin with, the number of female singers introduced by ARR is relatively smaller as compared to the male singers. Nevertheless to answer you question, yes, I do feel that singers like Harini, Chinmayee, Reena Bharadwaj etc would take years before they can be compared with the likes of Lata Mangeshkar, Asha, S.Janaki, Chitra, Kavitha Krishnamurthy or Swarnalatha. I'm not saying they're bad, but they still have not captured the versatility nor do they possess the talent that is evident in the latter group of singers. I'm not going to bring Shreya Ghosal or Sadhana Sargam into this argument as they were clearly introduced by other MDs and it took them some time (esp in the case of Sadhana) before they got the oppurtunity to sing under

[arr] AR RAHMAN AND GAUTHAM DID IT FREE
AR RAHMAN AND GAUTHAM DID IT FREE Gautham Menon has said that he and AR Rahman did not receive any payment for the World Classical Tamil Conference theme song. The song was penned by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M Karunanidhi. The 5-minute song was filmed for over three months as some of the scenes were shot from a helicopter. Rahman took about three months to compose the music for this theme song, he added. Almost all top singers and musicians from Kollywood are involved in this song. The Tamil Nadu government is making arrangements to have this song telecast in all the cinema theatres. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/may-10-04/rahman-gautham-menon-31-05-10.html

[arr] The Road to Brazil
The Road to Brazil Last year, that all changed. Admittedly, Nepal still does not figure on most Brazilians’ mental maps. But say anything about India, and you are sure to get a bright smile and an ‘Aare baba’ or ‘Bhagwan ke liye.’ That this is hardly the most common Hindi vocabulary is perhaps to be expected, considering its unusual source: Caminho das Índias, a whirling, colourful telenovela (soap opera), inspired in no small part by Bollywood extravaganzas, had Brazilians glued to their televisions from January to September last year. Singlehandedly, the novela took the Brazil-India connection from the dry world of the boardroom and beamed it straight into Brazil’s living rooms.* And the burgeoning relationship did not stop there. A R Rahman’s tunes suddenly blared in markets and discos, Brazilian woman sported bindis, and my Brazilian friends all wanted to know if I knew how to make chai. * * * *http://www.himalmag.com/The-Road-to-Brazil_nw4582.html * -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~

This bilingual, starring Simbu-Trisha in Tamil and Naga Chaitanya-Samantha in Telugu, is indeed a memorable experience for its beautiful camerawork by Manoj Paramahamsa and soul-stirring music by A.R. Rahman. A Red Giant Movies presentation, the movie is produced by Escape Artistes Motions Pictures and R.S. Infotainment. *VTV*, which released on February 26, 2010, has different climaxes in Tamil and Telugu.

[arr] Partition revisited
Mani Ratnam's passionate period film Lajjo, set during the Partition with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead, is all set to be revived. It was earlier set aside after the songs had been written by Gulzar and composed by AR Rahman because the budget for a Partition film was considered prohibitive. But now with Aamir and Kareena's jodi in 3 Idiots proving to be a rage, there were discussions with Mani to look into the project again. According to a source, Mani plans to go into Lajjo before he begins his film with Ranbir Kapoor. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/30/2010060220100602021016210d07b1693/Partition-revisited.html
[arr] Musical encounter
Music maestro AR Rahman is all geared up for his world tour `AR Rahman Jai Ho concert'. It kicks off on June 11 in New York at the famous Nassau Coliseum arena. When Rahman was amidst rehearsals at Washington DC, he received some very special visitors - they were Michael Jackson's elder brother Jermaine and his son, Prince Michael Jackson. A source reveals, Rahman was practicing for his upcoming concert at Patriot Centre and by a coincidence, Jermaine and Prince were rehearsing in an adjoining hall at the same venue. As soon as they learnt about Rahman's presence, they decided to pay him a visit. The late pop star's son Prince told Rahman that he loved Jai Ho. Rahman immediately extended a personal invitation to the Jackson family to attend his concert. Rahman, a selfconfessed fan of Michael Jackson, had issued a very emotional statement following the pop legend's untimely demise. Michael's family, by extension, holds an equally special place in Rahman's heart. Elaborating on the special bond between Rahman and Michael, our source adds, Not many people know that when Rahman won the Oscar, Michael Jackson had personally called to congratulate him and invite him for lunch where he introduced Rahman to his family and three children. The King of Pop liked the Jai Ho track so much that he had expressed a desire to work with Rahman. He had specifically liked the chord arrangement of the Oscar-winning song. Subsequently, Rahman made several trips to Los Angeles, but destiny had other plans. Rahman, who is currently in LA, confirms, Yes I had a chance meeting with Jermaine Jackson in Washington DC during the time I was rehearsing there. We exchanged pleasantries. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/30/201006022010060202100981974a4b4d8/Musical-encounter.html

I worked for most of the upcoming heroes in the film industry. Director Sapan is a good director. I listened to many scripts and liked this story. It is a heart touching story. Subbaraju was my roommate when I was searching for film opportunities. I find to be exciting to work with him in this movie. My character in this movie offers lot of variety.” Deepika said, “This is my first movie. I am feeling happy to make my debut through a different movie like Pappu. I would like to thank the producers and director for giving me this opportunity.” Music director Phani Kalyan said, “I had been a great fan of AR Rahman since my childhood. I was a software engineer. I resigned my job and joined AR Rahman’s music institute in Chennai. I happened to meet the makers of Pappu through my friends. They listened to my 30 seconds demo and selected me as a music director. My mother and my grandparents role is very vital in my career.” Director Sapan said, “I penned this story when was working in the direction department of Ashta Chemma movie. I saw Vinayakudu movie and decided that Krishnudu is my hero. He is a director’s hero and he did a terrific work. Subbaraju is a talented actor and a good human being. He will become a good hero in the time to come. USA born Deepika is doing female lead and Kashmir guy Junaid is making his debut in negative role. I feel very lucky to get a music director like Phani Kalyan. Producers of this movie are like my brothers. I extremely fortunate to get producers like these. We worked in such a way that there is no editing wastage. Pappu is going to release on 18 of June and I hope that it will be successful. -- http://idlebrain.com/news/functions/audio-pappu.html regards, Vithur Are you searching for a reason, to be kind? b Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

[arr] Mani's next is a remake of Subhash Ghai's film
Word making rounds is that Mani Ratnam's next film is a remake of a Subhash Ghai hit. The story is rumored to be a conflict between a police officer and a criminal, who kidnaps the police officer's sweetheart and takes her on a rough journey, as the police officer tries to retrieve her and arrest the criminal. The main difference in the story is rumored to be the ending. The Subhash Ghai movie turns out with the lady taming the criminal as he swears her chastity in an open court, thereby vindicating her. However, the Mani Ratnam version supposedly twists this such that when the police officer questions his sweetheart's chastity, she rejects him outright and goes back to the criminal. When contacted regarding this, no one was willing to talk about Mani Ratnam's movie. A close source said no one should say anything about Mani's movies. If anyone whispers even a clue about the story, an ancient curse, from the time of the Satiyuga vapourises the person and no trace of the person is ever found again. Rumor has it that this curse affected an actress who has a role in the movie when she leaked the ending of the movie. No sooner did she breathe about the movie that she was involved in a scandal all over the news and was forced into hiding for a long time. A spokesperson from Mukhta Arts released the following statement directly from Subash Ghai - The Mani the Ratnam is the remaking the one of the my hits. I encourage such a brave attempt from the one of the best the director's of the India. If the movie has the music by the A R Rahman, my the blessings will the be increased by the ten-fold. The Ghai movie in question most likely seems to be Khal Nayak, but given the similarity between Ghai's films, this is only hearsay. In the meantime, people everywhere wait with baited breath for what appears to be Mani Ratnam's most interesting venture in recent times. - Cornholiosbungholio AintItFakeNews.in AintItFakeNews.in is a subsidary of SpoofNews.in. P.S. The curse seems to be true, since once this story was broken, AintItFakeNews.in and SpoofNews.in were vapourised and all proof of the existance of the sites were wiped out from this world. Your brave reporter only survived due to the annonymity that the Internet offers.

[arr] Project Rahman: Completed!
Imagine that you buy a new Rahman album. You get hyper-excited to put the thing into your player and just soak it in. You want to put it on repeat for a 100 times, hear every instrument that is played, hear every note that is played and find everything the album has to offer. That is what I felt like doing when I bought Raavan (and Raavanan). But then I suddenly thought, instead of listening to one album a 100 times, why don't I listen to a 100 different Rahman albums once? And that set me off to go back to the beginning and revisit every Rahman album! To do this, I set some criteria: 1. Only original albums in their original languages (Yodha, not Asokan. Pudhiya Mugam, not Padmavyuham). 2. Original songs on dubbed/ re-used albums (extra song from Sapnay, extra songs in Saathiya, Star, Alli Arjuna, Nayak etc.) 3. Unreleased songs available in other places (Hyderabad Airport theme song, O Bosnia, We Can Make it Better, etc.) 4. Non-film albums (Vande Mataram, Jana Gana Mana, Pray For Me Brother, new song in Connections etc.) 5. Miscellaneous singles (Raga's Dance by Venessa Mae, Marhaba Mustapha etc.) 6. All available soundtracks of foreign projects (Bombay Dreams, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, The Lord of the Rings) and non-available ones, if possible (Provoked and The Passage) 6. Only A R Rahman albums, no Dileep Kumar albums (so no Deen Isai Maalai, Fantasy/ Andhmaalai, Set Me Free, Colours) With these rules, I dug up all my CDs of Rahman and put them into iTunes. Next, I dug up the backups I had made of my cassettes onto CDs, since there are quite a few early albums I don't have on CD as I couldn't afford to buy them back then. I put all of them onto iTunes as well. That gave me almost the complete Rahman discography on iTunes (the one song I really was missing was Zindagi Se Pyar Karo, since I didn't find my video cassette recording of the broadcast). I then transferred these songs onto my iPhone and started my journey... I must say that it was absolutely incredible. I found old lost gems (Uzhavan) again, found that I enjoyed some albums more now than before (Vandicholai Chinarasu, Gang Master), found that I still didn't like all the songs on some albums (Pudhiya Mannargal, Tenali, Super Police), found the classics as great as ever (Roja, Thiruda Thiruda, Duet, Bombay, Iruvar, Kandukondein Kandukondein, En Swaasa Kaatrey), still loved the albums I was always partial to (Love Birds, Mr. Romeo, Kaadal Desam, Indira), still found albums that were flawed (Paarthale Paravasam), still wished some albums had more justice done to them (Kaadal Virus, Blue) still found some albums over-produced (Godfather, Anbae Aaruyire)... It took me 7 days to finish my journey, listening at over 100 songs a day! The last day was capped with listening to Raavan and Raavanan, followed by the Tamil anthem. Raavan sounded so much like a natural progression in the journey. I was so glad that I had done this... gave me a sense of achievement, even though it was a vicarious pleasure! I really wish Rahman had the time to take the journey as well. It would be great if he could revisit all his music when he writes his autobiography. He really needs to look back at those times when Shahul Hameed (RIP) brought a nice rustic touch to his albums and when Chitra was flawless in every outing with him... he needs to go back and see how versatile he always was and how his albums were so special... go there and back again... he made classics then and he is still making classics now. It's amazing how his music changed and yet excelled. It's also amazing to discover how my taste has changed, but how some things never change, like my love for his music. If there is one thing I really have to complain about, it is the lack of the rustic, folk albums now. There was a time when I felt that the ARR-Bharathiraja combination was the best one, with Kizhakku Cheemayile, Karuthamma, Andhimantaarai and Taj Mahal. I felt that the combo was slightly tarnished with Kangalal Khaidu Sei. It's a pity they didn't work together after that. But that is just a small complaint. The rustic is back with a twist in Raavan and Rahman is still making the most interesting music in India. Maybe another 10 albums later, I will take the journey again. In the meantime, it's time for me to listen to Raavan a 100 times. I am lagging behind everybody on this group right now, so time to catch up!
