Re: [arr] Re: ARR T Shirts - New Print

2010-09-02 Thread Vijay Mohan Iyer
Please meet up with Vithur or Faiz near AM studios and get your tshirt from
them.

Its also a good idea to gift these t shirts to people close to you so the
more you take, the better will be your contribution to a good cause.

Special thanks to Vithur for selflessly committing himself to this project.

Naveen Pillai,

I completely agree with you.

It happens in everyone's life and every career in this world, where  
one is about to slip into deep forest from where you might not come  
back at all. This is happening with ARR also. Its time he realises  
that.


Look at where the music is going in Hindi film industry. Whom do u  
want me to name,


Shankar-Eshaan-Loy, Mithoon, Pritam, Salim-Sulaiman, Amit Trivedi  
and the list is endless.


In Tamil, look at what Yuvan does and in Telugu look at Mickey J  
Meyer.


All the above mentioned music directors are very promising. They  
never let the fan's expectations down. They might not have got  
Oscars, but they respect a fan.


In any industry, this is the rule, either you give your best or just  
move out. It is high time that ARR wakes up. Instead of focussing on  
Twitter, iPad, or Social networking sites and letting down great  
directors like Mani Rathnam, take a break and come back to who you  
really are.


Look at Puli, what a pathetic music. How do I go around to my non- 
telugu fans and say that this is the music I listen to and say I am  
a proud ARR fan. It just makes me rethink if I should be proud.
I know it is a lot of criticism, but if I, as an ARR fan, do not  
have this right to express what I feel, then this forum is useless  
for me.


Hoping the scenario changes soon.

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. So much of lyrical value and depth in  
thought, that I never wanted a tamil version of Roja or Donga Donga.

Aakarsh

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.


My 2 cents!

Regards
Aakarsh

 AR Rahman @ Puli Audio LaunchIndiaGlitz [Tuesday, July 06, 2010]

 Oscar winner A R Rahman, the music director of Pawan Kalyan's  
`Komaram Puli'
 will be present at the audio launch of the movie that is scheduled  
to happen

 on July 11th.

 A R Rahman inspite of his busy schedules will make it to Hyderbad  
to attend
 the audio launch. His first straight Telugu movie practically  
speaking as
 both `Nani' and `Ye Maaya Chesave' were simultaneously made in  
Tamil with
 same tunes. So `Puli' will be an album to look out for! Sony Music  
is

 bringing the movie's music to the market.

 Puli's audio launch will happen at Hyderabad International  
Convention Centre
 on the 11th July at 11 AM. The movie's cast and crew will be  
present on the
 occasion along with eminent personalities of Telugu cinema. It is  
also
 learnt that a popular Telugu news channel has bought the exclusive  
rights to

 telecast the event live on television.

 So the `Puli' is finally coming out to roar… Hold on to your seats 
 and watch

 Rahman's magic entertain your music senses!

 18 years fan-hood of ARR does have its few points of discord. One
 recent one had meet my utter condemnation of Chiggy-wiggy.

 Since then, it has not even a full year, and ARR has given us Kata Kata.

 And Kata Kata has:
 --
 Chhoto koi devar hoy to chhaati laagiye
 (if there is any younger brother of the husband, keep him close to
 your heart like your own son)

 Aur saas sasur ke aadar keeje paanye laagiye e e e
 (and pay respect to father and mother of the husband, touch their feet)

 Re jaith jaithani samjhaave to maathe raakhije re
 (if elder brother of husband and his wife teaches something, etch that

 Aur nandan ki saheli jaisi saath raakhiye re, o chori sun, saath
 raakhijo ra
 (and keep the sisters of husband with you like your friends,
 listen, o girl, keep them with you)
 --

 A complete contrast the above has with chiggy-wiggy.

 Chiggy-wiggy was demeaning women, presenting them as brainless objects
 to be won over by cheap, streetsmart tactics of males for their
 pleasure, all this going contrary to the things that ARR stands for.

 Kata Kata has suggetions/ instructions/ tips/ prompts that every
 Indian mother tells her Indian daughter on wedding when the daughter
 goes to a new home for the first time - the home of her husband. It is
 holding the key how to keep the family together, instead of breaking
 the bonds and snatching the husband from him family and establishing a
 personal home for herself.

 I can feel every Indian buzurg (elder men and women) nodding their
 head in deep-felt approval on hearing it. It is nothing new, they
 themselves have been told the same at their own wedding, and they
 themselves have told the same to their sons and daughters at their
 weddings. It is pure indianness.

 And it covers so many aspects of Indian marriages that it is like an
 audio-visual summary of what all happens in Indian marriages. groom's
 male friends are teasing the groom, calling him a goat getting
 sacrificed, brides' female friends are teasing the groom giving him
 funde to do physical exercise to build his body, ladies of the
 bride's family are listing the great qualities of their daughter (paro
 se bhi halki hai) while males of groom's side teasing their bhabhi
 (khatti hai), ladies of bride's family are pleading to the groom to
 safeguard and treat the bride with respect (bohari lagaiyyo na),
 pandit ji is having his priorities kanya ko bulaao, muhurt nikla ja
 raha hai, ladies of bride's family are abusing and mocking the groom
 calling him of black complexion by negation, comparing him to crow, in
 hindi belt there is a reallife ceremony called gali dena (abusing)
 when ladies of bride's family do use demeaning words in songs to mock
 at groom and his family.

 Kudos to ARR and Gulzar saab for creating a song that is going to be
 National Matrimonial Anthem. It is going to be played at every
 marriage hundreds of times, and why not, it have elements for every
 occasion in an Indian marriage.

 This song is what ARR himself personifies unlike chiggy-wiggy. ARR
 will be proud to be the creator of this song unlike chiggy-wiggy.

 Hope comparing Kata Kata with chiggy-wiggy will make the contrast
 clear to you.

 Kata Kata redeems Indian values that were inadvertently cheapened by
 Chiggy-Wiggy
 --

 Related issue:

 I wonder what is in the song that Narendra Modi disapproved for
 Gujarat. Kata Kata shows that ARR has all the capabilities to come
 with a song full of Indianness, so ARR could come with a song full of
 Gujarat-ness. Even Kata Kata itself represents gujarat wedding like
 any Indian wedding. Instead of outright rejecting a song, they should
 have told ARR individual elements that they approve and disapprove of
 in the song, and let him modify according to the feedback. It would
 have culminated into a great song for Gujarat and a treat for music
 lovers. Sad that Narendra Modi acted so high-handedly.

[arr] Re: Raavan songs - not impressing on intial hearing..

2010-04-26 Thread vijay anand
Hi,

First of all we should think about the movie theme and then only we can expect 
the songs for the film. Even though its not od Epic or Historic film, its base 
line is something related to the epic Ramayan and that too the title itself 
says its about the demon king Ravans side of story.

A.R.Rahman gives the music Only for the film, and the film is not being made 
for his music. In that view you cant expect the music of ravan and sita playing 
around trees kind of songs.I really enjoys the songs with Ravans mind and the 
more earthy songs with tribal touch.

If you want peppy songs or hip hop songs try to listen the films with that 
genre.

This is my personnal openion about this film and its songs.



 Heard the songs about 4 times with the Original CD of Raavan today. Pretty 
 much disappointed with the songs (Except Beera and Khillie re), all other 
 songs have heavy beats, lot of variations in singing, no simple nature etc. 
 There is not 1 song which is instantly catchable/likable.  May be I will like 
 it with more hearings. Very Average score by ARR for a Mani movie. Expected a 
 lot out of this. This may be the weakest of all ARR-Mani (weaker than 
 Guru) combos.

I think this is the order of things before a new ARR album:

1) Tentative date of music release appears online in the media.  
everyone is excited, yippee, hooray, can't waitetc. etc.


2) First promo is released. ARR fans download the audio portion  
everywhere..play it in their ipods, their cars, their super stereos,  
even if the clip is 20 seconds in bad sound..but it's new ARR  
music... Discussions abound.is it good? ARR skeptics and  
naysayers chime in..I'm very disappointedalbum will be  
badwhat is ARR thinking


3) Some funny person named Gopal in this group releases a fake track  
list and half of all ARR fans everywhere believe it.


4) Music release date comes.people go to the stores to ask about  
the CD...but no CD and store people give them funny  
lookseven claiming never having heard of the  
film.disappointing trip back home. Where's the CD? I thought it  
was going to release today! Huh? What's going on??? Chaos,  
questions, uncertainty..


5) New music date announced in media! Is it true? What's the source?  
Can we trust it??? Yes, this time it's for real!


4) THE REAL track listing is provided by Gopal and posted on the  
official AR websiteexcitement builds, tensions mountAR fans  
starting to drool..


5) New music release date comes.people flock to stores, wait  
anxiously on the computers searching download  
sites...but.where's the music? Where's the CD? What's going  
on? ARREY YAAR...KYA HORA HAI??? Music was supposed to  
release today Realization sets in that the launch function was  
set for the day, but CDs will take time to come out, another 2  
weeks, due to T-series screwing up something.


6) Another music release date comes out by T-series.AR fans  
everywhere very apprehensive...but willing to  
wait..wait...wait.waitthe waiting gets harder  
everyday.. Will T series deliver?


7)Another promo is releaseda new songsomething to chew on  
while we wait for the feast...more discussions, more analyses,  
more downloads.more doubts.this doesn't sound like  
ARR...album will flop..I don't have a good feeling about  
this...etc. etc. People on this group tell these people to shut up  
and not judge a whole album just by the clips (but inside, they're  
worried)


8) T series release date is changed again the day before the  
expected release date due to problems in packaging and  
distribution.AR fans everywhere curse T series, calling it bad  
names, asking why AR albums releases are always botched up and why  
always with T series... Notable AR fans start to make calls to T  
series people demanding an explanation and a true release date.  
Multiple release dates are subsequently announced and mass  
confusion, frustration, chaos among AR fans developswhich is the  
real date? Huh? Should I go to the music store that morning or  
not??


9) Out of the blue, the album releases unexpectedly while people are  
frustrated and confused. Downloading begins everywhere while AR fans  
urge other AR fans to not download and wait to buy the CD.


10) Discussions, reviews, analyses, opinions all come flooding out  
after hearing the album with at least one person saying the music is  
a complete disappointment.

 There were tremors in the comfortable gated compounds of Bollywood last
 night when it emerged that a Hollywood company had teamed up with Sony
 Pictures to produce a Bollywood-style musical, produced in LA and filmed in
 Vancouver. “Following the success of movies such as *Mamma Mia, High
 School Musical* and *Sweeney Todd*, it’s clear there’s a new appetite for
 musicals in the west that has been neglected,” said a spokesman for *New
 Moon*.

 *Happy Days and Nights* is a big budget production slated to star *Robert
 Pattinson* and *Kristin Stewart* from *Twilight* in a story said to be
 loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. AR Rahman has promised to produce a
 fusion musical score that will span the world. Two versions will be made
 – one with a tragic ending for western markets and the other with a happy
 ending for the North African, Middle East and South Asian markets. “The
 rapidly growing economies of the east provide an avenue for revenue that
 western production houses are only just waking up to,” explained Phyllida
 Lloyd, the director. “This is just the first of a proposed series of three
 musicals that New Moon will put into production this year.”

 *Miley Cyrus* and *Mitch Musso* are scheduled to appear in *Fast Lane*with
 *Billy Ray Cyrus* and *Angelina Jolie* scheduled to play the parents of a
 troubled teenager who gets led astray by a fast-living party-girl, who has
 to face tragedy before discovering true friendship. Up-and-coming singer
 *Paloma Faith* is scheduled to star in *Destiny*, a movie about an
 innocent young woman from Ciudad Juarez, who is kidnapped by people
 traffickers and forced into prostitution before eventually being rescued by
 her childhood friend who never gives up hope of finding her after she
 disappears. But is the woman he finds the same woman he lost? “Isn’t it
 significant that this major announcement should have been made on this day
 of all days,” asked an industry spokesman.

I think it is time someone does an interview cum jam session with

It was such a rocking concert with the singers going all out in showing their 
love for AR by performing each n every song with perfect energy. The best part 
of the whole concert was its songs selection. Simply mind-blowing. The classic 
hits like:

Chiku bukku railae(Suresh Peters, Benny, hari Charan), 
Pettai rap(Suresh, Benny), 
Endrendrum Punnagai(Timothy Madhurkar, Srinivas, Benny, Naresh, Rap by pravin 
mani), 
Minasaara kanna(Srinivas and Swetha Mohan), 
Netru Ilaadha Maatram(Sujatha) , 
Hello Mister Edhirkatchi( Swetha Mohan), 
Veerapandi Kotayillae, 
Humma Humma, 
Taxi Taxi, 
Paatshaala, 
Roobaro, (naresh Iyer)
Masakali(Benny)
Unplugged of Munbe va(Swetha and Naresh), Aaromalae(Alphonse) , Omana 
Pennae(Swetha n Benny), Chinna Chinna aasai(Swetha Mohan), Pudhu Vellai 
mazhai(Sujatha) , Uyirae(Srinivas) , Anjali Anjali(Haricharan)
Other songs were Jumabalaka from En swasakatrae, Enna solla pogiraay(Haricharan 
), Thilaana Thilaana, Shakalaka baby by Suvi Suresh, Pappu cant dance saala, 
Mustafaa. Jai ho, Chaiya chaiya and Ramta jogi by sukhvinder sing.

This is all i can remember. But there were some more. Please do add to it. 
The list, as you can see, was superb. Add to that the perfect singers and the 
musicians. Suresh peters was on fire with the drums giving out the perfect 
rhythm for every song and also singing whilst drumming(:-O) during many 
occasions. Nikhil was perfect with the Flute and Saxaphone. Sanjeev was at his 
usual best with the guitars and the strings section was mesmerising with 6 
violinists. 

It was a perfect concert. Enjoyed it a lot. And for me, the pick of the concert 
was Swetha Mohan. She was just perfect with every song she rendered, just like 
her mom. Just mind blowing. Especially the Minsaara kanna and Hello mister 
edhirkatchi were beyond words to explain.

Alphonse was a man with very little words. But his voice speaks a lot. We spoke 
to him about the groups and he was really happy about our response and said he 
keeps track of every AR related news through here. :)

Thanks to Pravin mani and his wonderful team for organising such a great

 It reminds me of an old saying of half full pot makes more noise than a

 write them of.. but they bounce back with such a force that the critic don't
 get a word to describe their agony. An attitude which say  l should do my

 As people, we can learn a lot from them and infact every individual should

   I think Rahman Offkey  is certainly a loose statement and not worth
 to respond, but since ARR is my Guru, I am doing so,
  
   The songs sung by ARR are those also composed by him so he has every
 right to perform them in whatever way / remix them / change the tone in any
 way he wants. Audience comes to see him performing and not to check if all
 his tones are true to the CD. And let ARR decide how he wants to sing his
 own songs.
  
   If ARR wanted to add any additional lyrics / miss out on some / change
 the tone / tune during concert, it is his song / creation and he has full
 right to do so.
  
   So please refrain from making such statements which none of us are
 qualified to make.

 the field of SOUND ENGINEERING attracted him the most after exposed to the
 unique sound of ARRahman's music and he has chosen SOUND ENGINEERING as his

thanks for sharing these wonderful videos.

The best performance was Mausam  Escape hands down. Next come Jai

Didn't like how they performed some songs without any lead singers,  
like Chaiya Chaiya, Barso Re etc.
Boss was off-tune overall. Rashid Ali killed pronunciations and ate  
words out as always.

Really like the idea of displaying artists' name on grand screen.
Chandralikha performance was wonderful and appreciated the MJ part  
of it.
Can only hope sometime they perform Jai Ho in its full glory i.e.,  
with Sukhwinder.

Either im deaf or dont understand music...my reaction  was specifically to : 
BOSS WAS OFFTUNE OVERALL...i heard the concert live on radio..he may have 
forgotten a few words in a couple of tracks but offtune overall?? Whats that?? 
To me that means offkey...either he was not matching the rhythm or co singers 
or singing in a different pitch etc...

Re: [arr] Rahman Sir The Man Of The Decade! 2000 - 2009 | A Revisit!!

2010-01-02 Thread vijay
: The Rising (Hindi)
 -- Another period film which proved that ARR is the most chosen favorite for 
 the period flicks! Again all efforts made by ARR went in vain, since neither 
 the movie nor the songs were accepted by the people! But performance wise, 
 ARR did magic with Mujras and Qawwalis for this lose script!
 
 
 3) Anbae Aaruyire/ Ah Aah (Tamil)
 -- After New, SJ Surya and ARR united again for this flick which again made 
 news for all the wrong reasons! ARR created a furore in the musical 
 department, but the film's debacle harmed the music score !
 
 
 4)Water (Hindi/ English)
 
 -- Another internationally acclaimed album by ARR which showcaused his 
 talent in handling sensitive subject. Deepa Mehta once again proved that her 
 team up with ARR is unarguably a classy best. The soundtracks proved the 
 classical expertise of seasoned singers Sadhana Sargam and Sukhwinder Singh!
 
 -- ARR almost had a chance of winning the Academy Awards when his Chanchan 
 was nominated for the Best Original Song!
 
 2006
  
 1) Rang De Basanti (Hindi)
 -- In came RDB, and ARR silenced all critics who were going over the board 
 claiming ARR has lost his touch! A massive hit soundtracks backed with a rock 
 strong script made RDB a classic wonder! 
 -- ARR swept away accolades and awards such as
      Filmfare Award for the Best Music Direction  
      GIFA Award for the Best Music Direction
      IIFA Award for the Best Music Direction
      Star Screen Award for the Best Background Music
      Zee Cine Award for the Best Music Direction
 
      Planet Bollywood's People's Choice Best Music and Best Background 
 Music Awards
 
 2) Sillunu Oru Kadhal (Tamil)
 -- ARR bounced back to the kollywood music generating a teenage love anthem 
 thorugh the soundtracks of this flick! Though the movie was not wery widely 
 accepted, the audio tracks created a rage across the nation!
 
 -- ARR won Filmfare South Award for Best Music Direction
     
  
 3) Varalaaru (Tamil)
 -- It was a great year for ARR with back to back superhits. Varalaaru 
 created a history in both music and script! A perfect blend of classical, 
 folk, Melody and peppy songs made all masala lovers go bersek and love them! 
 
 -- ARR won an unsual award at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards for the best 
 music direction
 
 4)The Lord Of The Rings Musical (English)
 -- A Prestigious project for ARR which propelled his growth in the western 
 cinema! The audio sales were super impressive and ARR became a household name 
 across the west.
 
 5) Guru (Hindi)
 -- The Guru of Movie makers and the Guru of Music directors united again for 
 this big blockbuster roping in the Bachchan clan in the lead roles. The most 
 versatile album of the year made Rahman stand all among all his 
 contemproaries! 
 
 -- Yet again, ARR swept accross all the leading awards for both the songs 
 and BGMS for the year! 
    Filmfare Award for Best Music Direction and Best Background Music
    IIFA Award for Best Music Direction and Best Background Music
    Star Screen Award for Best Music Direction and Best Background Music
 
    Zee Cine Award for Best Music Direction and Best Background Music
    V.Shantaram Award for Best Music
 
 6) Pray For Me Brother (English)
 -- The album showed the generosity side of Rahman who made a charity song 
 for the street children suffering from diseases. Since it was not 
 commercialized to the greater extent, this work of ARR remains to be hidden 
 for many people!
 
 
 2007
  
 1)Provoked (English)
 -- A hollywood production house flick with Aishwarya Rai Bachhan in the lead 
 had many instrumentals composed by ARR. Surprisingly, the music did not make 
 any news and it was moderately received!
 
 2) Sivaji -The Boss (Tamil)
 -- A grand Mass entry by ARR in Tamil for the year. Owing to the mass 
 subject for Rajinikanth, ARR belted out mass entertainers which was 
 considered as the year's blockbuster album!
 -- ARR was showered upon the accolades and awards for the album
     Filmfare South Awards for the Best Music Direction
     Sunfeast Tamil Music Awards for the Best Music Composer of the Year
     Star Vijay Award for Best Music Director
 
 3) Elizabeth: The Golden Age (English)
 -- A Shekar Kapur - ARR combo that made little news both pre and post 
 release! ARR composed only Four tracks sung by himself for the movie!
 
 4) One Love (Multilingual)
 -- Just to popularize TajMahal, ARR made this album in many languages like 
 Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Bengali. The result was so 
 enormous that many people voted for the Taj and squeezed it into the list of 
 new 7 wonders of the World!

Subject: [arr] I was rejected because of my voice’

  
I was rejected because of my voice’

Usha Uthup, now in the 40th year of her singing career, admits that she made 
her limitations her strength.

You have a distinct voice that was very different from what was in vogue then. 
Did you face initial rejection when you started out?
I was rejected outright when I did my first audition for a documentary film. 
But I consider myself lucky; I have been blessed by god. I’m an original singer 
and have done well in these 40 years. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but I am a 
very positive person. I made my limitations my strength and now my career is on 
an upswing, touchwood!

Some singers try to copy you. Do you take that as a compliment?
Oh yes! It’s wonderful to see young people not only try to sing like me, but 
also try to emulate my style of singing. I love it! It’s a great feeling.  

You started out singing at nightclubs.. . 
(Interrupting) I still do and I love every bit of singing at nightclubs. But I 
never had any bad incident. I guess it depends on how you carry yourself. Here 
I was, in a saree, singing with all my heart. It was and probably will always 
be the prerogative of some people to come to nightclubs wearing slinky outfits. 
But you see, I came on and I changed it (smiles).

You made the saree and big bindi your trademark style. Who inspired you to 
follow that style?
No one. I wish I could give you some sensational piece of  information but I 
come from a middle class family and it didn’t seem necessary for me to focus on 
how I looked. Yes, it did matter to me how well turned out I am. But honestly, 
the sari, the bindi, the gajra… nothing was planned. 

Earlier, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar or Asha Bhonsle were just voices till 
the electronic media came into the picture and brought them out. This is not to 
say they were not wearing nice clothes. But it wasn’t important for any of us 
to be body-conscious. But I’m happy to see so many youngsters so competitive 
and body conscious. And much of it can be credited to Bollywood.

Is it difficult for you to do playback singing for actresses, because of a 
heavier voice?
(Emphatically) Of course! There’s this pre-conceived notion that songs for the 
good girls have to be Lata or Asha, and bad girls, me. This kind of notion is 
especially true for India. I can’t see it 
changing in terms of playback singing.
What do you think of the present Indian pop music scene?
Sky is the limit. It’s great to see the way things have changed, making way for 
technology and electronica in music. The music reality shows on TV are an 
amazing platform for the youth. 

However, today’s music lacks the soul. Analog recording had more warmth. But I 
do believe that change has to come because life is cyclic and everything has to 
come back to what it was. I’m sure one day, someone might stop and say, “Hey! 
Let’s get that magic and soul back to the songs.” 

What do you think composers like Shantanu Moitra, Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy, Himmesh 
Reshammiya?
They are brilliant! They’ve got both classical and western background in music, 
which is great. Shantanu and Shankar’s teams are wonderful. I don’t know 
Himmesh so much. But he must have done something wonderful to get people going 
crazy over him.

You have performed before Indira Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Jomo Kenyatta. Any 
fond memories you recall?
When I sang ‘Malaika’ for Jomo Kenyatta, the President of Kenya, he told me 
that with my kind of voice, I should belong to the African world. I remember 
that day vividly. Meeting Mandela and Mother Teresa were wonderful experiences 
too.

Any particular composer you’d like to work with?
Yes, Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy and AR Rahman once again.

What was it like to sing for the Celebrate Bandra Festival?
It’s the most magical experience, as a singer, to be on stage. Any artiste 
should give an arm and leg to be there. It’s also the 40th year of my singing 
career, so it was special.

I wouldn’t say that it was like coming home because I keep going to Mumbai all 
the time.

You grew up in Bombay. Don’t you ever want to come back and settle here?
(Earnestly) I love it when I land in Mumbai. I learnt to cook, stitch, live in 
this city. I miss the buzz, the excitement.. . it’s just something so 
different. What pains me is that in my time, we were never scarred by religion.

Any album you’re working on?
I have this album called Kashmir to Kanyakumari coming up. I have sung it in 16 
different languages and the album knits the whole of India. I’m going for the 
premiere of this album to Bangalore, on December 20.http://www.hindusta

I was rejected because of my voice’

Usha Uthup, now in the 40th year of her singing career, admits that she made 
her limitations her strength.

You have a distinct voice that was very different from what was in vogue then. 
Did you face initial rejection when you started out?
I was rejected outright when I did my first audition for a documentary film. 
But I consider myself lucky; I have been blessed by god. I’m an original singer 
and have done well in these 40 years. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but I am a 
very positive person. I made my limitations my strength and now my career is on 
an upswing, touchwood!

Some singers try to copy you. Do you take that as a compliment?
Oh yes! It’s wonderful to see young people not only try to sing like me, but 
also try to emulate my style of singing. I love it! It’s a great feeling.  

You started out singing at nightclubs.. . 
(Interrupting) I still do and I love every bit of singing at nightclubs. But I 
never had any bad incident. I guess it depends on how you carry yourself. Here 
I was, in a saree, singing with all my heart. It was and probably will always 
be the prerogative of some people to come to nightclubs wearing slinky outfits. 
But you see, I came on and I changed it (smiles).

You made the saree and big bindi your trademark style. Who inspired you to 
follow that style?
No one. I wish I could give you some sensational piece of  information but I 
come from a middle class family and it didn’t seem necessary for me to focus on 
how I looked. Yes, it did matter to me how well turned out I am. But honestly, 
the sari, the bindi, the gajra… nothing was planned. 

Earlier, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar or Asha Bhonsle were just voices till 
the electronic media came into the picture and brought them out. This is not to 
say they were not wearing nice clothes. But it wasn’t important for any of us 
to be body-conscious. But I’m happy to see so many youngsters so competitive 
and body conscious. And much of it can be credited to Bollywood.

Is it difficult for you to do playback singing for actresses, because of a 
heavier voice?
(Emphatically) Of course! There’s this pre-conceived notion that songs for the 
good girls have to be Lata or Asha, and bad girls, me. This kind of notion is 
especially true for India. I can’t see it 
changing in terms of playback singing.
What do you think of the present Indian pop music scene?
Sky is the limit. It’s great to see the way things have changed, making way for 
technology and electronica in music. The music reality shows on TV are an 
amazing platform for the youth. 

However, today’s music lacks the soul. Analog recording had more warmth. But I 
do believe that change has to come because life is cyclic and everything has to 
come back to what it was. I’m sure one day, someone might stop and say, “Hey!

 A R Rahman is so inspired by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, so much so
 that he has decided to include Jackson as a subject in the KM Music
 Conservatory, a music institution that he runs in Chennai.

 Rahman will also deliver the first lecture on Jackson. According to the
 music director, Jackson’s life, music and how he inspired him will all be a
 part of the subject.

 The Maestro of Madras has been quoted as saying by the DNA, “I have been
 inspired by Michael and his works for years now. I had met him and though he
 was such a big star, he was always a very humble human being. That really
 touched and inspired me. I think he was an inspiration for an entire
 generation. His music must have influenced countless musicians across the
 world and it would be an honor for me to have the students of my music
 school learn and discuss the artist of the century.”

I agree with HARI's points. Even if Rahman is not directly involved in the 
event organisation, being a person on whose name the entire event is staged, he 
should be made aware of the feedback of the audience / fans. And if the 
situation is  beyond his control, I guess, he should not continue with the 
present setup and go solo. 

To be honest, the audience / fans come to listen / see ARR and ARR alone. 
atleast that's what I and my family did in the Pune concert. If Rahman decides 
to do simple 1-2 hour impromptu unplugged sessions with chosen few artists and 
a simple orchestra, no fireworks, no dancing puppets and songs which he and he 
alone wants to perform, I think that programme will be a stupendous success and 
will not be a logistical nightmare for any event organiser.  

And who can know the true worth of GURUJI  than his own disciples, the 
rahmaniacs ? So if Rahman starts a new trend of organising shows with local 
band or artists / musicians from his fan group, I would wholeheartedly support 
such a venture. This group has huge talent pool of musicians / singers / sound 
engineers / remix specialists amongst us, why do we require outsiders ?

 I am used to the substandard level of service that is offered in India. Any

 hold an event together for any number more than twenty thousand people. For 
 example Internation Cricket matches played in India. Have you been to any? No 
 stadium in India can boast of a descent parking facility for  ten thousand

 be able to park conviniently and to take it of and leave easily itself is not 
 possible. Let alone expect reserved seating, hygienic and versatile top of

Re: [arr] Did anyone notice the whistling sounds in Dil Se Re, second half?

2009-09-07 Thread vijay anand
as per my assumption, arrs first original music watever the language will be 
amazing since the music will be adjusted little bit with the lyrics. but the 
reused or dubbed version would have the lyrics which would not fit very 
properly in the music.thats wat it would be little bit odd.
 
we can find this from rangeela, taal,jodha akbar,doli sajike rahna, gentleman, 
muthu etc in their respective language.
 
manirathnams films are total exceptions since he would concentrate very much 
even in dubbed versions.so guru, yava, saathiya has its own mark.other than 
that, swadesh had a very good lyrics even in dubbed tamil version.

some remixed versions of his own songs in hindi like pukar-key sara  swadesh- 
deko na
are really good comparing to its original versions.even the originals have a 
great music, while hearing the remixes we can get totally new experiance.

Hi Friends..

Our boss knows how to compose the music and what the people like.
We are just listening using an audio cd or mp3 cd and commenting, but think
of him. He is trying with the new music and sounds, which the others never
do. He lives for music. Making the album hit is very easy for our boss. but
he is living with the music and lives for music. (want to know more, read
the article that comes in anandha vikatan, tamil magazine) hereafter for any
reason dont put your idea on this forum. If you wish to listen to others
music which you like, pls go ahead. ARR's songs has music to be felt, not
the sounds,just to make make you happy. Feel the music, by concentrating on
it. then you can feel the wonder. I should not see our friends commenting
bad on our boss's music.

Re: [arr] Revisiting IRUVAR (1997)- A Musical Masterpiece!!!

2009-07-20 Thread vijay anand
I beleive this film got some rare global awards, and special international 
screenings.
Since the film revolves around the most powerful people's (M.G.Ramachandran, 
J.Jayalalitha  M.Karunanithi - former and current chief ministers of Tamil 
Nadu ) personnal life boldly, the film bombed in theatres. But among the film 
lovers this is one of the master pieces in Tamil film history. As of music 
again its a masterpiece of A.R.Rahman, and each song depicts resemblence 
of each decade of tamil film music from 1940 - 1980.
the background also is a great one but has some resemblence with BGM of Fire ( 
also composed by our boss in the same time ).

Iruvar (The Duo)  - the very name strikes an alarm among all the Rahmaniacs 
and Mani Ratnam's admirers..!! This film can be grouped to the number two in 
many ways...

Mani Ratnam  -  Santhosh Sivan 

A R Rahman  - Vairamuthu 

M.G. Ramachandran  - M. Karunanidhi ( On whom the story was based upon)

Mohanlal  - Prakash Raj

Aishwarya Rai  - Tabu

Revathy -  Gouthami

Anybody seen the promos of this movie when it went on floors?? It was the most 
magical announcement by a lady, who more or less spoke the above names in pair. 
I should strongly say that this movie enjoys enormous fan following among the 
Tamils in the world even to this day.The soundtrack of this movie by the 
maestro are in much demand . Both Aishwarya Rai and Tabu made their debuts in 
this movie. But this was Tabu's Tamil Debut only.
  Having said this, i am deeply saddened by the fact that ARR didnt get any 
kind of awards or recognition for his brilliant and much sophisticated work 
which haunts the listener even today and many more years to come.! I think i am 
right here..! Correct me if i am wrong,! Has he fetched any award for this 
magical audio tracks and even more supreme BGMs.?

Kannai Katti  --- Hariharan , Chorus

 A Huge change in the usually till then sober mood singer 
Hariharan's voice. He has gone wide open with his voice in this song. The 
chorus form a very integral part in this song's stupendous success. I believe 
it would be the toughest job for ARR to compose to such an opening song which 
should make audience feel that they are seeing the great MGR on the celluloid. 
A very nice mix of melody and peppyness by the maestro which can make any music 
lover tap their feet and hands. Particularly, Thozha Thozhalalalalla 
lalaalal. .. lines make everybody shake their bodies...:)


Aayirathil Naan Oruvan --- Mano , Chorus

  Another differently sounding popular singer Mano makes a great 
attempt in this visually perfect MGR influenced song.! One yearns for more Mano 
- ARR combo which is dead these days after listening to this song. A great 
instrumentation and a great dancing skills shown by the debutant Aishwarya Rai. 
Great picturisation, great lyrics, even more greater composition and song 
rendition makes this song an anthem of sorts for both the classes and masses. 
Relish yourselves by the chirpy female chorus singing kukukuku... as Mano 
delivers second charanam...! ! ARR has this inborn knack of mesmerising all 
sorts of people which keeps him stay where he is today. Best example is 
Aayirathil Naan Oruvan. 


Vennila Vennila --- Asha Bhonsle

  Haven't captured the Tajmahal during the early dawn and dusk? This song will 
give you that pleasure visually. Aesthetically shot by the ace cinematographer 
Santhosh Sivan. I bet nobody has brought the Tajmahal to the viewers, the way 
Santhosh brings in this seductive song! The legendary bollywood singer Asha 
Bhonsle comes back to Tamil soundtrack after a huge gap (Previously sung for 
Ilayaraja sir in 1980's). Not withstanding her Tamil diction, she oozes with 
oomph through her voice and emotions are high running.And what to say about 
ARR. The saxophone he belts out makes u float in the musical heaven. Strictly 
recommended for the bed time listeners.

Narumughaiye Narumughaiye --- Unni Krishnan, Bombay Jayashree

This song appears as though ARR has created a gem out of Nattai Raagam of 
Carntic Classical.!! What an impact it brings out is to be only expressed 
rather mouthed by words..!! Roping in the two classical giants, Unni Krishnan 
and Bombay Jayashree, who until then wasnt ready for cine songs, ARR gives a 
royal launch to both the singers, even though Unni was launched earlier by 
himself. The initial Mridangams, the flutes, the Veenasall  form a perfect 
unison to please the listeners. Only thing that amuses me is ARR has never 
looked upon Bombay Jayashree after this song, though she's doing great stuffs 
for other MDs.

[arr] kurunthogai(tamil poem) - which song?

2009-04-12 Thread Vijay Anand
Dear fans,

i came across this kurunthogai poem 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_literature , 
but it is familiar to us, as we have heard the lyrics in a song composed by our 
boss.
Try to guess the song and movie.

யாயும் ஞாயும் யாரா கியரோ
எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம்முறைக் கேளிர்
யானும் நீயும் எவ்வழி யறிதும்
செம்புலப் பெயனீர் போல
அன்புடை நெஞ்சம் தாங்கலந் தனவே.

I felt AR is doing a good job in promoting tamil literature.
after hearing the exact lyrics from the song, not sure who modified the tamil 
poem, Vairamuthu or AR.

[arr] [semi-arr] sound engineer

2009-03-08 Thread Vijay
dear fans,

we know that sound engineer H.Sridhar was associated with AR sir for long time 
before his sad demise. And now Resul Pookutty has won one oscar for sound 
mixing in Slumdog Millionaire,

so for future movies or albums will Resul work with our boss ?
Also i have not seen AR praising Resul's work in any of his interviews




Re: [arr] How did the Film Fraternity react wen he got on stage to collect his Filmfare ??

2009-02-28 Thread Vijay Iyer
Karan Johar was the host of the evening...started off by saying before i
say anything ladies and gentlemen, A R Rahman is in the house.HUGE
APPLAUSE...

When he announced A R's name for the best background score and A R went on
stage to get it, Rashid and me kept on clapping and stood up as I couldnt
control my excitement for him. And know what? everyone in the room stood up
and kept on clapping even as A R started his thank you speech. The claps
wouldn't stop. A R says  I feel akward getting these awards. SEL salim
suleiman do a good job too...WHAT HUMILITY MAN !!

So that's what..net net..bollywood was genuinely happy for him and showed
it.

Thanks
