ROTFL! good one! :) Aravind Rahmania show interviews: http://rahmania.4shared.com --- On Mon, 31/5/10, Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] Mani's next is a remake of Subhash Ghai's film To: arr fans group arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, 31 May, 2010, 1:03 PM 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] Re: Project Rahman: Completed!
Travelling back time can only be achieved by Rahman's music... not even science :) Well written article ! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@... wrote: 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!

RE: [arr] Re: meenaxi rocks
Yes, I agree with u. Meenaxi is one of ARR Sir best so far, unfortunately the movie did not make it well. My favorite is the song Dua Dua (sorry for the spelling mistakes), I love the interlude piece of music a lot and which ARR Sir create more songs like this one. Take care, Serge.

[arr] Mani Ratnam considers reviving his ambitious Lajjo
Kareena Kapoor-Aamir Khan may come together again as Mani Ratnam considers reviving his ambitious Lajjo 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. An elated Kareena says the revival of Lajjo would mean the world to her. “I will be too happy. Giggly, girlie, Barbie doll roles don’t bring out the actor in me. I want to be challenged. I can’t play the singing, dancing mannequin any more. I’ve realised that as an actor, playing varied roles is what I enjoy the most. I’m starving for good roles. My characters in Ra.One and Saif’s home production Agent Vinod are powerful roles,” she said. Part of the growth curve for Kareena involves learning how to play mom. She actually took basic tips from her sister Karisma and co-star Kajol to play a mother in Ra.One and Stepmom. Kareena says she feels being an aunt to Karisma’s kids has prepared her for a “more mature phase” in her career. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/News-Interviews/Aamir-Bebo-together-again/articleshow/6001681.cms

Re: [arr] Project Rahman: Completed!
Nice read... i just wondered if you have a s dileep kumar's disco disco? :-) *** --- On Sat, 29/5/10, Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] Project Rahman: Completed! To: arr fans group arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, 29 May, 2010, 5:01 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!
Re: [arr] meenaxi rocks
Ya Same here i still remember the day i stole few bucks from my dad's wallet just to buy the digital copy of it and it was worth all the effort. Later i was caught due to my suspicious behaviour of listening to those numbers all the day and night. I was totally engrossed with that. Such a soul stirring album it was. --- On Tue, 6/1/10, Taimur Nadeem taimur.nad...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Taimur Nadeem taimur.nad...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] meenaxi rocks To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2010, 10:32 AM With my tour to the land of sand dunes and desert going superb there is an album of A R RAHMAN which is making my days here just too beautiful.its Meenaxi.each n every song of the movie is just out of the world. one of the very best works of a r rahman . i must say MF HUSSAIN genuinely exploRed the briLLiance of A R RAHMAN IN the soundtracks of the movie.and the feel it is giving me in this scorching heat of the desert land ah i love it .yeh rishta kya , chinnama, rang hai , do kadam , noor my goodness they are treat to the ears. guys had anyone from you felt this same feelings as i am feeling in the desert land listening to meenaxi songs do write about it . i am enjoying every bit of it ... regards,, taimur bahawalnagar, Pakistan.
