[arr] Puli audio CD priced at Rs 60 in Bangalore
Got my Puli CD priced at Rs 60 from Planet M today in Bangalore. It was similar to a Moser Baer Video CD/DVD packing. There was only the CD in the cover, no Inlay cards, lyrics booklet etc. Is this the same case and same price all over India or are there different versions of the CD?

Dear telugu speaking fans, Since the Puli audio is out, for the benefit of non-telugu speaking fans, i request you to post the meaning of each song, if not the literal line by line translation. it would really benefit us by knowing what is sung in the song, rather than plainly hearing it. - Your regards
[arr] July - Rocking month
July 2010 is turning out to be a rocking month for the music lovers... Puli is turning out to be one helluva albumAfter Yuvraj, if any album that I started liking instantly is Puli..Each and every song is instantly catchy and has all the ingredients to be the biggest music hit of the year. And thats not the end, we have so much coming our way this month..so we have a rocking month ahead.. Some of the non-arr albums which have come out in past few weeks have also been really good. My recommendations are Udaan, Lamha, Aisha and the recently released Peepli Live..
[arr] Power Star - One more Bhairavi
The song Power Star in Puli is another one based on raag Bhairavi. Someone in this group asked for a list of Bhairavi based songs sometime ago. Add this to that list. Come to think of it, ARR has been giving many Bhairavi based songs offlate. Agreed that it is his favourite, but I am just wondering, whether he is not bored doing songs in same raaga. The song Amma Thallee needs quite a bit of dissection because there are atleast 4-5 raagas in this song. Regards Aakarsh
Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
Honestly, the language is barely understandable in most of the songs (except for Nammakame). Pronunciation is flung out of the window. Come to think of it, there is not even a single singer in the album, whose mother tongue is Telugu. So I guess language issues and pronunciation issues are bound to happen. The singers might be talented (Vijay Prakash or Shreya), but unless they have a language coach, they cant get the diction right. The lyrics as such are not comprehend-able. Even when some lines are comprehend-able, they rendition went for a toss. Sample these: 1. Noti Muthyaal Jaarneeyakey - It should have been Noti Muthyaalu Jaaraneeyakey. The way it was sung - Muthyaal or jaarneeyakey or Navvrathnaal (it should have been Navvu ratnaalu).. it sounds totally accentized/anglicized. Anyone who understands Telugu will cringe and it obstructs the enjoyment of the song. 2. Maa Te-Lu-Gu Tha-lli-keee - I was really uncomfortable with the way it was broken. Otherwise, I tried hard to understand the lyrics. Jaaved Ali also seemed like a totally wrong choice for that song. His diction was totally un-telugu. Among all singers, I think only Chitra knows Telugu (though she is from Kerala...), out of experience. Thats quite sad, because it might be an ARR album, but ultimately, it is a Telugu film and One would like to understand what is being sung. To sum up, I wish this album came in Tamil(because I dont understand Tamil). Because It is easy to listen to a language that we cannot understand, than to listen to a language we know and still cant follow or rather cringe at the butchering of the language with accents, robbing the whole nativity that is essential.

[arr] Music launch functions
Off late, I have been highly disappointed with the audio launch functions of Rahman's bollywood movies. They have been calling it as a music launch but its been of more off a movie launch kinda page 3 event and with hardly any discussion about the music and people involved in creating it... Have a look at Rahman's two recent regional releases..VTV and PULI, where the focus is on music, the people involved in itI feel, this is what is called Music launch. All the guests speak about the music and share their experience instead of just performing or playing the songs on the stage..in short, Music is at center stage and not the stars... Check out the audio release function of Aa Aaha as well.Its such a satisfying experience for a fan to see such kind of launch functions...They might lack professionalism, but at least the music is given the importance and recognition it deserves...

Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
I think ARR is oblivious about it. Or if he is aware and hoped for 'something different' with words axed like that, then honestly, I think it doesn't cut much with listeners. Yes, I too never understood 'Muvval Muvval' part in Sivaji. I understand if a composer has a penchant for the sound of the lyrics instead of the meaning or the actual lyrics. But it would be nice if that is applied to a word that is new or slang word. Like 'Masakkali'. But it would rob the beauty of language, when lyrics are axed, just to make them sound musically good. Because, how can incomplete words ever sound musical? Past, Present or Future, be it anytime - A composer can really touch people's hearts provided his music has good lyrics. it is understandable that language is a problem for ARR but like I said, the lyric writer or language coach for singers should help ARR and tell him that something is not sounding right. I would like to share a small anecdote, narrated by Gulzar. Composer R.D.Burman too was fond of sound of words rather than their meanings. Whenever he liked the sound of any word, he used to pick that word and played around and made tunes out of that. While composing the songs of Gulzar's film Aandhi, when RD came across the word Nasheman, he loved it and insisted on using it. He didnt know the meaning and remarked Yeh Nasheman kaunsa Shehar Hai yaar. Gulzar used it as Tinkon Ke Nasheman tak, is mod se jaathe hai. In short, it would be even more wonderful of sound of the words are given equal priority with diction, pronunciation and meaning. My all time favourite was Late Rajasri, who wrote lyrics for initial albums of ARR. He wrote them in such a way that we never felt that they were dubbed films.

[arr] Shankar at Final Day Of Endhiran Shooting Photos [14 Attachments]
Hi Everyone, Happy to say that the whole Endhiran shoot is wrapped on 7th July with the shooting of the song sung by AR Rahman, choreographed by Remo at Sun Studios. It was a very very happy moment for everyone. I think this is the first film where I am doing the pumpkin breaking pooja (poosanika udaikiradhu) with the lead stars Rajnikanth Aishwarya Rai. Everyone had this feeling similar to a cricket last over…. like a 2 year college wrapping day where you feel very happy also with a heavy heart … I am amused when I see the same feelings in everyone…. Our producer Mr. Kalanithi Maran gave a big party on July 9th for the crew. In the presence of our honorable Central minister Mr. Dayanidhi Maran, I attended the party along with Rajni sir, DOP Rathnavelu, Resul Pookutty, Editor Antony my crew. We shared all the interesting stories related to the making of the film with Mr. Maran. It was a memorable day for all of us…. A good news… Yesterday morning Rahman gave the tamil songs final mix master to us… it is amazing…rocking, sounding as big grand as the budget of the movie. The first song clearly indicates that our AR Rahman is an Oscar winner. I hope once again our combination lives up to your expectation levels. And we are planning to release the audio in this month end. Yours Shankar http://shankarendhiran.blogspot.com/ http://www.directorshankaronline.com/ Aravind Chan
Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
Parts of what you said is correct .I am a tamalian but grew up in Hyderabad and understand Telugu really well. The language and diction issue which you pointed out is very prevalent in Tamil as well. Even in Rahman tracks and he himself knows this. The purpose of commercial mass market movies like puli etc is to push rhythm not lyrical brilliance. None of these movies are for purists So lets just have fun. Although I agree your point on maa-te-lugu tal-liki .that#39;s a little hmmm esply considering the remix done by Mikey j Meyer in the hit movie leader Which was very straight forward .

Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
If you are talking about Vijay Prakash, then according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Prakash, his mother tongue seems to be Kannada. By writing that there was no singer whose mother tongue is Telugu, I dont mean to say that Telugu speaking singers are the only apt ones for a telugu album. I only mean that the diction of singers in this album is too apparently glaring at us, that the singers are not comfortable with the language. Shreya Ghoshal sounds better of all (pronunciation wise).

Re: [arr] A.R. Rahman to meet fans in Britain before tour
Friends, On reading this, had an idea. I recently discovered that Aamir Khan has this method of meeting fans. All registered fans on his blog are grouped based on city (mostly out of India). Whenever Aamir visits that city, and if time permits, his staff organizes a short meeting with fans in that city. Obviously this is more times NOT possible as compared to possible. Also, they might use some kind of random pick where the fans list is large. Is anything possible like this with AR ? I know its a big ask, but ask I do. Vijay/Gops: Any thoughts ?

Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
I completely second Aakarsh to every point he has made including about Rajshri's lyrics. This album should have been made in Tamil also, so I can avoid listening to the telugu version. Puli has been a disappointment to me, not music wise and sound wise, but as a whole. It's been a curse that I am a telugu, and that and that alone is preventing me from enjoying this album completely. Lyrics are a bit trite, except for here and there, and the pronuciations kill it further. I can appreciate the stylized pronunciations in Power Star song, but in Amma Thalle and Maham Maham, the pronunciations rob the song completely, Naresh Iyer's and Javed Ali's. I cringe when Javed Ali says Chekumukhi and Sashimukhi...Karthik has better telugu pronunciation and would have made Amma Thalle completely satisfying. Its like making a gourmet biriyani but then using sugar instead of salt. It might still be good, have all the beautiful aromas and all, but u cannot enjoy it to the hilt. Before excusing the lyrics here saying that this is commercial album, consider Premikudu, Gentleman. Along with Roja, Donga Donga and may be one or two other albums, these are the only ARR albums I listen to in telugu (the great Rajshri was an awesome talent). Everything else its in either Tamil or Hindi, just because I dont know those languages. In my humble opinion, if these issues are taken care of, most of ARR's songs would be of even higher standard, have a longer shelf life etc. Puli being a big banner straight release for ARR after a while, these languages issues should have been taken care of. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Aakarsh aakarsh...@... wrote: I think ARR is oblivious about it.

Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
I tend to agree. The pronunciation is really bad ( and I am cringing while saying this about AR's songs). We are used to Udit narayan and others sing in telugu and murder the pronunciation, but with AR's music I think we expect a higher standard. As someone said, in the past even tamil albums redone in telugu sound better than this original telugu album purely in terms of pronunciation. Maybe the lack of time for AR has shown up in this aspect. Unfortunately this is the weakest link and AR has very limited control over this aspect. But keeping this aside, and once one gets over the hump with the pronunciation, the music is absolutely fantastic. I somehow enjoy AR's masala movie music and this is one such after Ghajini I guess. Maham Maha maye is absolutely rocking with its cool and funky sound. Maaralante is pure orchestration and AR's passion. Amma thalle is good and namakame is very soothing.

[arr] Komram Pulli A Commercial Brilliance
Success is an equation which is a combination of experimentation and expertise. This album is one example of that equation. It takes a lot to experiment with new sounds and fit in a catchy and commercially viable tune. Every bit of music in Pulli is a commercial brilliance. This album gives you the feeling of the 90s when we used to listen to ARR songs on a cassette. S. J. Surya is a guy who has a lot of commitment towards film making and I like his genuine style of film making. He has extracted the right music from ARR. Maham Maye: Instant hit is the USP of this track. Oh Chako Muke Oh Shishi Muke is ARR naughtiness filled with beats which just holds on to your ears for hours. Javed Ali kicks off the tune in a style that gives you a new vocalist feel. Suchithra is welcomed to the ARR unit with this very sweet song. Trendy interludes containing heavy pads and keyboard sounds should imprint the future for young talents to follow. The techno riff at the beginning of the song is captivating and the first interlude is lost in heavenly stuff. A very catchy and an instantly likeable tune. Amma Thale: Typical ARRish opening followed by a tongue-twisting tune. This song has the flavours of Theekurvil, Naadeshwaram Pollavandal, Moondrilvarthekethavarthe, Sakakra, Jack n Jill and Maarkandhiya. The orchestration is grand with traditional modernised beats. Singers have exceeded their expectations and will fall under the category for its permanence and will make it to the evergreen ARR playlist. The only corn here would be the recording level which reached its peak resulting in cracking the sound towards the second part of the song. Power Star: Tailor made for heroism that has shades of Blue theme. Powerful beats and sounds backed up by powerful rendition by the singers. Dochey: This one easily falls under his best-programmed song. Each and every sound is fresh and exciting. It has an international appeal and will be the anthem for the youth. The Arabic beats and sounds is an outshine effort by the composer and will stun his peers. Clever utilisation of singers gives an erotic feel and a killing instinct throughout. You would just want it played 24/7 in cars, pubs, etc. Maaralente: Patriotic songs are a cup of coffee for ARR and he has succeeded again with this song which is heavily and strikingly orchestrated. ARR himself rendered this highpitch track making it the most favourite track for all his fans. The song would go very well with visuals and stun the audience when they experience cinema. Namakame: In the lines of Oh Palanhare from Laagan and Amma song from New.It is bliss just because it's a journey of vintage ARR and we will never get bored of this genre of songs from him. The choice of instruments is class and the tune ever rings in your ears giving you peace. Overall, a very satisfying album meeting all expectations of various tastes. Enjoy the music instead of comparing it with other albums or composers. Thanks to S. J. Surya that we get to hear some foot-tapping numbers from ARR. I would like this combo to continue and give surprise packages every time Please leave your feedback at http://sharus100.blogspot.com/2010/07/komram-pulli-commercial-brilliance.html
Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
I would also agree to most of the comments posted in this thread and also believe that a good pronunciation adds an extra something to the song which actually 'elevates and liberates' the listeners.Would beg ARR to concentrate on pronunciation's for ALL of his songs, MOST of his do have good pronunciation's. BTW, a good 'Lyrical Pronunciation' is also a SOUND.

[arr] KMMC Choir and maralante
hats off KMMC choir. awesome rendition. flawless chorus and has been backed up very well for such a powerful song like maralante. i have goosebumps when i hear gandhiji nethaji line in the song. ARR rocks!
Re: [arr] Substance Matching up to Style - Puli is Pulling me!
Chord, Do you blog? If so, please post these wonderful reviews on it and give us a link to it. Just a thought. Sorry if I said anything wrong. Waiting eagerly for your review. Thanks Satheesh. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 12, 2010, at 6:19 PM, AJ purev...@yahoo.com wrote: Ok, I confess. When I first heard about Puli and the type of movie and knowing who the director was, I too had certain expectations about what the music would be like..bubble gum teenage music with little to offer for my tastes. I knew that I would like at least one song, as with every ARR album, but I had almost written this album off..almost.. Even when I first heard the album, I was like, Ok, pretty average stuff from AR with some high quality stuff here and there... I wrote my impression about that here. But now, with repeated listening, as usual with ARR's music, I'm noticing more and more about the music that I'm liking and in some cases REALLY liking with each and every track with AR's brilliance. No filler tracks on this album for me anymore. Yes, it's music for a youth commercial flick from a director not known for great music, and yes, the album is not going to be in my top 5 AR album list. Butthere's a lot, a lot to like in this very punchy and energetic soundtrack full of youth, vigor, and flashy theatrics. A wonderful package indeed and this album scores more as a whole than the sum of individual tracks! As is often the case with many soundtracks like this one for this type of movie genre, you get a lot of style, but little substance. But, a big, pleasant surprise for me is that there is an abundance substance in the music of Puli as much as there is style. What is it about the music that I really like? I will soon explain in my detailed review of the soundtrack as I still need to listen to the music more carefully to catch more details. The title of my review will be Substance Matching up to Style.Puli Music Review. For those who are interested in reading my reviews, and I am grateful for your interest, stay tuned! To be continued..

Re: [arr] Re: AMMA THALE Wooohooo !
Swetha was provided the child chorus for Acham Acham illai in indira. She has come a long way. Suchitra did a marvelous job too, is this her first venture with A.R.Rahman ?

Subject: Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans... To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, July 12, 2010, 5:43 AM  Honestly, the language is barely understandable in most of the songs (except for Nammakame). Pronunciation is flung out of the window. Come to think of it, there is not even a single singer in the album, whose mother tongue is Telugu. So I guess language issues and pronunciation issues are bound to happen. The singers might be talented (Vijay Prakash or Shreya), but unless they have a language coach, they cant get the diction right. The lyrics as such are not comprehend-able. Even when some lines are comprehend-able, they rendition went for a toss. Sample these: 1. Noti Muthyaal Jaarneeyakey - It should have been Noti Muthyaalu Jaaraneeyakey. The way it was sung - Muthyaal or jaarneeyakey or Navvrathnaal (it should have been Navvu ratnaalu).. it sounds totally accentized/angliciz ed. Anyone who understands Telugu will cringe and it obstructs the enjoyment of the song. 2. Maa Te-Lu-Gu Tha-lli-keee - I was really uncomfortable with the way it was broken. Otherwise, I tried hard to understand the lyrics. Jaaved Ali also seemed like a totally wrong choice for that song. His diction was totally un-telugu. Among all singers, I think only Chitra knows Telugu (though she is from Kerala...), out of experience. Thats quite sad, because it might be an ARR album, but ultimately, it is a Telugu film and One would like to understand what is being sung. To sum up, I wish this album came in Tamil(because I dont understand Tamil). Because It is easy to listen to a language that we cannot understand, than to listen to a language we know and still cant follow or rather cringe at the butchering of the language with accents, robbing the whole nativity that is essential.
