Opposition - The name itself says Opposition, what more can one expect from them. Even if CWG becomes a success, they will oppose it saying that the country didn't need these games and only tax payers money was wasted on this. Media - Not every day they get a chance to publish a news against Rahman. Just to show that they are not partial to Rahman in everything he does, they are publishing these kind of articles. So they are using this opportunity to criticize his work by asking opinions about this song from every tom, dick and harry.. Government - Some of them from Govt are using media to convey their displeasures about this song. Why? To divert the attention from other important things(incomplete venues etc etc) and make ARR and the song the scapegoat. After all, they are the easy targets you see. So called Senior Music Composers - Firstly, they can't digest the fact that why only Rahman was asked to compose a theme song and why they were not...and the most hurting factor for them is the price tag that is floating around for that song.. Fans - Nothing new with these poor fellows...Some of them have genuine reasons for their dislike and others are still in 90's mode. They still refuse to believe that Rahman is a human being. They want Roja's and Thiruda Thiruda's all the time..and when Rahman gives them the album with 90's touch, they say that the song is outdated and Rahman has lost his touch... Just my opinion...not to hurt any one...
[arr] CWG-COMMMENTS IN INDIAFM
these below are some of the comments i came through in Indiafm. they are comparing arrahman with himesh what himesh i dont know whats happened with the music senses of the people. they just want to bash arrahman thats it. God is always with arrahman so whoever is saying that arrahmans music is gone are going to praise him after some time. guys whats happened to you all rehman has lost his touch... by Purusharth on Wednesday 01st September 2010 , 06:15:08 PM after oscar rehman has been on cloud 9 n his music is not doing as gud as it used 2 be...anyways...once HR releases his international album 'At Da Edge'...he would be d most sort after composer from India in d international market... HR would have done justice by arjun on Wednesday 01st September 2010 , 05:07:41 PM RAHMAN is an nice composer,but don't know what happened to him while composing for country,yes Himesh ji would have done justice to this song..already commonwealth games are flop,now its theme song is also flop. AR RAHMAN is good but not one of best! by karma on Wednesday 01st September 2010 , 04:34:21 PM Rahman was good and famous for his hit music until late 9ties, but after that a CHARTBUSTER, BACK-BACK hit music composer Himesh Reshammiya was born and no one in music industery was able to do anything to stop his non-stop chartbuster hit music rage and he continues to be the no1 hit musical rockstar today. Rahman's music doesn't have youth and universal appeal. Music of Rhaman is neither melodious nor rocking. So those who blindly say AR RAHMAN is best must do a reality check!
Re: [arr] Food for thought from ARR Sir: Lets Start September with SOME Positiveness. :-)
Wonderful wonderful Wonderful Very good post Manisha. Thanks for this. Lets all dive deep into this post and observe the essence On 9/1/10, manisha madhavan manisha_madha...@yahoo.com wrote: Just thought would post 5 interesting quotes by Rahman Sir that have caught my attention. I know there is an ocean of others, but felt these were the most relevant at the moment. :) Feel free to add your different 5. 1. There is a story of Michelangelo -- if I am not wrong -- which I heard recently. It seems that he was painting beautiful pictures at the back of the church. People told him you are a fool because you are not painting in the front where people can appreciate your work. The answer was: I do my work for God. I think he can watch it anywhere. I thought it was a brilliant answer because everything doesn't need to have instant appreciation. Even if one of you have appreciated those fine nuances, that is enough for me. 2. No one can be completely original, because the notes are already there. I do a lot of fusion from different traditions including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, reggae, rock and Carnatic music — my favourites. As far as possible, i try to be original. The rest is up to Allah.” 3. We have to push ourselves in any field, whether we like it or not. It is just the question of your mindset. We need to adjust and look into our own selves. The moment you have this attitude that whatever you do is the best, you will cease to grow or for that matter experiment, which is very necessary for creation. I mainly work by instinct.” 4. ”Any great love song, when attributed to a divine source, gets an extra dimension People say any love that is immortal is divine love… The inspiration, therefore, is a divine one..” 5. I also believe in karma. When you do good and think good, there're bound to be good things happening in your life too. The good wishes you earn in this lifetime are the real awards. Good work may or may not get you the awards, but you will always reap the benefits of good wishes, that's the real Reward!

[arr] CWG Theme song!
For crying out loud.. for the flak that the song is receiving from some people its really not deserving. The song is pretty catchy and has a great energy to it. No one has even heard the high quality versions yet and are slating the song. Its got a great rhythm and energy to it. Lyrics are good too. You know what, perception is heavily guided by expectations. You cannot in a sane frame of mind expect that each AR song is going to change the shape of music to come. Its hard composing anything to fulfil such erroneous expectations. If you have criticisms of the songs per say that are constructive than please feel free to express that and if your comments are inane and pointless poison via words than have the limited courtesy to spare a public mailing list your rants for no apparent reason but that of misplaced frustration. I have mentioned this many times before and will do so now again that morally it's unfair that you criticise something that you yourself probably cannot do or achieve or aspire to achieve or are part of in changing as a standard you do not appreciate. My two cents. Just really really disappointed with the level of discussion in this group these days. I have been a part since the early days and been privileged to have read some soul stirring conversations here. Wishing that we can do more of that again.

Re: [arr] rahman sir stop composing for indian films and themes these guys forgotten u
My thoughts on the controversies.. 1. ARR should stop working on Govt projects which involves political influences and avoid working with people who doesnt have musical taste and knowledge as CWG board. 2. concentrate only on west and hollywood movies and gain more oscars and beome more popular ICON on hollywood... 3.

Very nice to see such funny threads. Who forgot ARR??? Everyone is still praising ARR. He is still the undisputed No.1 in the industry. He is still the king. The only thing is some poeple (including me) are comparing the quality of his current songs with some of his previous works. We are comparing him with himself only. Not others.

Re: [arr] Kailash Kher about CWG Theme
It is natural for people to go overboard and question everything after the news about corruption in CWG. I don't think 5 crore is just for song composition alone - I read somewhere that it also includes his appearances and live performances as well. I have also read that more than one song was composed. Can Gopal or Vijay confirm this please? I wish CWG games a rousing success but I guess our media is hell-bent in belittling the event as much as they can and sad to see our ARR caught in this act.

[arr] May I please request that the incessant whining stop?
From KP's post: I have posted this a hundred times in this groups. This is the problem that a lot of us have with you folks. If you don't like an album or even a bunch of albums, fine...tell us why in an intelligent and constructive manner. But, what you guys do is keep beating a dead horse with the same whining and complaining all the time about how ARR doesn't do this and ARR doesn't do that and ARR doesn't satisfy you anymore and ARR isn't composing your fantasy album. You sound like a bunch of brats that are never satisfied with anything ARR does today. We understand what you want, ok? You don't have to keep drilling that in here. Many here don't agree with you. Many of us here think that ARR is in fact innovating at the level that you talk about, but within a different context and direction than what he did back in the 1990s. And even if ARR isn't being as innovative as what you claim, there are so many other strengths to his music of today that we love to talk about, but you whining folks never acknowledge that and many times counter it with the same complaining. Will you guys please stop with the same negativity and whining that goes on and on? Did you read the post by Mathew Islam? Read it carefully! Why don't you talk about something that you appreciate about ARR's music these days instead of focusing on what you think is lacking all the time? Or talk about some of ARR's albums from the 1990s that you love and discuss whywe'd love to join you in your appreciation. Please stop the whining and constant inane negativity! It really ruins the whole point of what this group is about and gets in the way of more intelligent and balanced discussions.appreciation and constructive criticism of ARR's music. If you prefer ARR of the 1990s, I and many others here have no problem with thata lot may agree with you. But, say it once and move ondon't keep bringing it up every single time a new ARR album comes out. If you don't like the album, focus on the album alone and tell us why you don't like it in a constructive manner and quit complaining that ARR doesn't compose for you personally.

As A R Rahman asked media to project 'positive image' of Common Wealth Games.Then media turned against him and they are now portaying his negative image now.They just want some big newsif they don't find any then they will for anything/anyone any try to make news out of it.remember the mumbai blasts..how they indirectly helpled in guiding them.they just need some news and coming to politicians, they had planned it that they would make use of it by disliking the song song just to divert the attention of people from the ACTUAL WORK.ACTUAL EVENT..that REALLY MATTERS .and we as a fans are responsible for all these..the media is watching our group/forum..which is the core source to everything they are getting.we as a fans need to stop all this. A R Rahman needs our support more than ever this time..we need to support him.we need to hate media.If you are truly A R Rahman's ..support him by just replying to this messageYES WE ARE WITH YOU...RAHMAN. Hope you Are understanding what I am saying..and please stop sending negative messages Moderators we need your help please filter the negative messages. Just listen to the track 'The Power of Politics'a BGM from Iruvar/Iddaru..its awsome...this BGM perfectly fits the present situation.

You know what, perception is heavily guided by expectations. You cannot in a sane frame of mind expect that each AR song is going to change the shape of music to come. Its hard composing anything to fulfil such erroneous expectations. If you have criticisms of the songs per say that are constructive than please feel free to express that and if your comments are inane and pointless poison via words than have the limited courtesy to spare a public mailing list your rants for no apparent reason but that of misplaced frustration. I have mentioned this many times before and will do so now again that morally it's unfair that you criticise something that you yourself probably cannot do or achieve or aspire to achieve or are part of in changing as a standard you do not appreciate.

Guys, Honestly, this is below the ARR standards, which are so high and gets higher with time..again this is what I feel, not generalising on any opinion. It failed to grow in me despite several hearings. But its fine...we cannot expect Tendulkar to score a century in every match, Bill Gates to be on the top of billionaires list forever and ARR to have all his songs as super-duper-first-hearing hit. thanks Regards, Ashok Singh Purohit --- On Wed, 1/9/10, wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in wrote: From: wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in Subject: [arr] CWG track..heres my take To: rahman fans arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, 1 September, 2010, 7:42 AM Few years back, i was in a gathering where people were sayin AR Rahman is spoiling the present music scene with 'computer music' and all his songs sound same with 'western beats' and no proper pronunciation. I ignored it and later played this track called Poo Kodiyin Punnagai from Iruvar. They all said look at those days music..what melody and each word is so clear and soft to ears...these days rahman and other can't even imaging to compose music like this! to this i replied ... This track is by AR Rahman ..from Iruvar.. .. they were just dump struck and chewed their own words.. ( for those of you unaware, this track sounds very retro like those in Black and White days..killer track!!) So the point is, if we approach things with pre-conceived notion, nothing can change the mindset. Commonwealth games has a not lot negative air now. What with scams, incomplete works and New Delhi dug up...people are not happy. One theme song can't improve things and it will succumb to pressures. Even if Rahman would have composed a fast track like Waka Waka, Maro Maro ( Boys)...people would have said the same. We are dealing with politicians here...remember!

Re: [arr] Why CWG song is targeted by...
well, u nailed in summing up Indian public's opinion about ARRs CWG. 1.5 years after Oscar, this is a turmoil created by media for absolutely no reason. the senior MDs who raised their controversial opinion abt this song - where were they when ARR received his double Oscar and double grammy? hiding in a dark room to avoid the aura of ARRs victory? just shutting their mouth stinged with envy? On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 5:02 AM, $ Pavan Kumar $ pawancum...@yahoo.comwrote: Why CWG song is targeted by... Opposition - The name itself says Opposition, what more can one expect from them. Even if CWG becomes a success, they will oppose it saying that the country didn't need these games and only tax payers money was wasted on this. Media - Not every day they get a chance to publish a news against Rahman. Just to show that they are not partial to Rahman in everything he does, they are publishing these kind of articles. So they are using this opportunity to criticize his work by asking opinions about this song from every tom, dick and harry.. Government - Some of them from Govt are using media to convey their displeasures about this song. Why? To divert the attention from other important things(incomplete venues etc etc) and make ARR and the song the scapegoat. After all, they are the easy targets you see. So called Senior Music Composers - Firstly, they can't digest the fact that why only Rahman was asked to compose a theme song and why they were not...and the most hurting factor for them is the price tag that is floating around for that song.. Fans - Nothing new with these poor fellows...Some of them have genuine reasons for their dislike and others are still in 90's mode. They still refuse to believe that Rahman is a human being. They want Roja's and Thiruda Thiruda's all the time..and when Rahman gives them the album with 90's touch, they say that the song is outdated and Rahman has lost his touch... Just my opinion...not to hurt any one...

As been one of the biggest fans of ARR since years I m extremly disappointed with the song. Its not bad but its not even close to the capability of ARR n his name in the music world, he should, he could, he would have done much much better than this. The things went wrong in cwg song according to me r, 1. When some media guy asked him is it like waka waka ? ARR responded to that we tried to go beyond than waka waka or some thing like that he replied. With this reply of ARR people started to expect the song better than chaiyyan chiyaan or maa tujhe salaam, he shouldn't have said that but insted he should have said no its not like waka waka its different from that. He also said that i m working on it since 6 months. When he can deliver the whole sound track like slumdog millionaire within 21 days its but natural that people will expect him to give 100 times better a single song than the songs of sdm. 2. I loved waka waka song. Waka waka's tune was simple but melodious. Song was catchy, peppy, groovy easy to sing, easy to tap one's feet on it, superb video n shakira's charm. 3. ARR's music n compositions r difficult to understand for many people, it takes time to grow, though many people cant understand his music even afer 100 times listen. 4. ARR's movies n private albums not ment for whole india but for arr's fans n those people who can understand music very wel. Cwg song is for whole india n every1 wants to be it like their taste. We (arr fans) care a damn when others dont like his music for movies or private album's, but this time the case is different because he was suppose to give a song which can easily sung by every indian n loved by every1 (he tried to do so) but he couldn't reach his goal. 5. This kind of phase which arr is going through is not first time it has happened before also when people tried to demoralise him n tried very hard to lower his popularity, but by the grace of Almighty he only climed higher n higher. This phase is worst. But whenever that happened when his work was critisized at the extreme level he came with a BANG and silented all his critics. First, at the time of Daud n other movies of his at that time, he came with Taal etc., second time at the time of Bose-the forgetton hero n movies of his at that time, he came with RDB. ARR n Sachin Tendulkar r alike, whenever people say sachin is finish now, he hits a century, whenever people stared saying arr is gonna be a history now he came with the best music anyone can give in the world. This is the same kind of phase from which arr is going through right now, but i m very much sure that sooner or later he will make every1 silent once again inshaAllah taala. with best regards, Shehzad.

Re: [arr] May I please request that the incessant whining stop?
Rajib, I appreciate your request for experiences and rare stuff. That should certainly be more a part of our group's discussions. However, this is a FAN group. As fans, we praise and appreciate ARR. A lot of us are emotional about ARR and his music and hence express our emotions here too positively in praise of him. I don't see anything wrong in that. If you don't appreciate that part of our group, that's fine, but please don't expect others to suddenly rake in praises for ARR when a lot of us do feel emotional about him and his music. It only comes naturally to a lot of us. Now, I don't approve of being a fanboy and throwing praises to each and every ARR song or release. I also appreciate constructive criticism and I have been critical of ARR's music in the past. I agree with the overall theme of your post that either extreme is not goodtoo much praise and too much negativity. Some here have alluded and insinuated that I only write about ARR in a positive way or write large reviews just to attract attention from ARR and create hype. That is utterly and completely false. Those who know me personally know that I am sincere about my write ups about ARR and his music and that I just don't hype things up just to attract praise or ARR's attention. For me, it's a form of self expression, almost like another artthe art of appreciating ARR and his music. I repeat, I do NOT consider myself a fanboy and I do NOT create writeups just for hype and praise. I have much better things to do in my life like being a father to my 2 small chlidren, working a professional job, being a good husband and son, and being a good citizen in general. I'm a lot more secure about myself than some of you think I am. So, those of you in this group who like to throw barbs at me every now and then, please stop as your accusations and insinuations have no bearing or ground whatsoever except your crooked thinking.

Or talk about some of ARR's albums from the 1990s that you love and discuss whywe'd love to join you in your appreciation. Please stop the whining and constant inane negativity! It really ruins the whole point of what this group is about and gets in the way of more intelligent and balanced discussions.appreciation and constructive criticism of ARR's music. If you prefer ARR of the 1990s, I and many others here have no problem with thata lot may agree with you. But, say it once and move

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Likewise, you portray the same message in all your mails regardless of the words used. Why does anyone have to compare ARR's work with Thiruda Thiruda? Why can't Thiruda Thiruda and his other releases be enjoyed in their own merits without being compared to one another? Whether you use comparative or innovative equivalent, the message remains the same-you want an album in the range of Thiruda Thiruda.

Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take
if we approach things with pre-conceived notion, nothing can change the mindset. I truly agree with this. I don't think people were expecting a Waka Waka or a Maa Tujhe Saalam or even a Maro Maro from ARR. If yes, then all these ideas would have been expressed to him during composition process itself and not now, when the track has been released. The problem is that everything has become very political and competitive now. It's no longer about hosting CWG, it's about hosting a better CWG than Beijing's Olympics! Why Beijing's Olympics? Because it was a huge hit! If China can do it, then we can do better! When ARR was requested to compose the CWG theme, there wasn't any talks about comparison with any other themes whatsoever. But now that Waka Waka is a huge hit, all of a sudden, we want ARR to compose something better than Waka Waka. If Shakira can do it, why not ARR? Yes, Shakira could do it, because she didn't have the pressure of being constantly compared to every Tom, Dick and Harry. No ministers approved of her song and then turn around saying that they were disappointed with the same. People just enjoyed the song for what it is and it became a huge hit! In my humble opinion, we have just forgotten where our priorities lie. Hosting a CWG is not only a huge responsibility but it's also a great privilege. There is no need to compare ourselves with our counterparts and go around bragging that we'll do better than them. Instead, if we just concentrate on hosting a good games in the manner we know best, I'm pretty sure people will start to appreciate them as well. --- On Wed, 9/1/10, wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in wrote: From: wiredbeats wiredbe...@yahoo.co.in Subject: [arr] CWG track..heres my take To: rahman fans arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 1, 2010, 12:42 AM Few years back, i was in a gathering where people were sayin AR Rahman is spoiling the present music scene with 'computer music' and all his songs sound same with 'western beats' and no proper pronunciation. I ignored it and later played this track called Poo Kodiyin Punnagai from Iruvar. They all said look at those days music..what melody and each word is so clear and soft to ears...these days rahman and other can't even imaging to compose music like this! to this i replied ... This track is by AR Rahman ..from Iruvar.. .. they were just dump struck and chewed their own words.. ( for those of you unaware, this track sounds very retro like those in Black and White days..killer track!!) So the point is, if we approach things with pre-conceived notion, nothing can change the mindset. Commonwealth games has a not lot negative air now. What with scams, incomplete works and New Delhi dug up...people are not happy. One theme song can't improve things and it will succumb to pressures. Even if Rahman would have composed a fast track like Waka Waka, Maro Maro ( Boys)...people would have said the same. We are dealing with politicians here...remember!

I know there is an ocean of others, but felt these were the most relevant at the moment. :) Feel free to add your different 5. 1. There is a story of Michelangelo -- if I am not wrong -- which I heard recently. It seems that he was painting beautiful pictures at the back of the church. People told him you are a fool because you are not painting in the front where people can appreciate your work. The answer was: I do my work for God. I think he can watch it anywhere. I thought it was a brilliant answer because everything doesn't need to have instant appreciation. Even if one of you have appreciated those fine nuances, that is enough for me. 2. No one can be completely original, because the notes are already there. I do a lot of fusion from different traditions including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, reggae, rock and Carnatic music my favourites. As far as possible, i try to be original. The rest is up to Allah. 3. We have to push ourselves in any field, whether we like it or not. It is just the question of your mindset. We need to adjust and look into our own selves. The moment you have this attitude that whatever you do is the best, you will cease to grow or for that matter experiment, which is very necessary for creation. I mainly work by instinct. 4. Any great love song, when attributed to a divine source, gets an extra dimension People say any love that is immortal is divine love The inspiration, therefore, is a divine one.. 5. I also believe in karma. When you do good and think good, there're bound to be good things happening in your life too. The good wishes you earn in this lifetime are the real awards. Good work may or may not get you the awards, but you will always reap the benefits of good wishes, that's the real Reward! Have a great month all :) ManishaM -- regards, Vithur

It is not justice to say that Rahman's image made ppl like his works. Infact, the present situation is similar to that. Due to Rahman's pathbreaking accomplishments of the past, today, there are people to praise any mediocre or below average work from him (Eg: Ghajini), and bash other sincere Rahmaniacs who dislike the same.  Anyway, what ARR today, is ONLY because of his hardwork and pathbreaking accomplishments.  On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 7:03 AM, AJ purev...@... wrote:  This statement is coming from that Weaka Weaka article, which to me sounded extremely biased. Avid music buffs too felt that it was Rahman's image that made people like whatever he composed rather than the music. A minority may think this, but I truly do not think the majority of true music lovers out there think this is true. Yes, Rahman has an image and a brand name, but people can discern quality too and are not that dumb to just go by someone's name when it comes to appreciating good music. Because Rahman's music is often so original and unconventional, it does take time for the music to sink in, th This is scientifically proven in psychology that when a complex, unfamiliar, and unknown stimulus is encountered, the mind has to accommodate (change) rather than assimilate (easily absorb)...which is why repeated exposure is necessary for Rahman's music, which is often complex, unfamiliar, and unknown due to the high originality and innovativeness factors. Brand Rahman exists, yes, but Quality Rahman is still there and still strong according to most. How do I know? A in my family , who have been skeptical of Rahman's music in the past, are head over heels with Raavan's music. They are not the type to just like something just because it has Rahman attached to it. They are critical music lovers who are skeptical of today's music. If they like a Rahman album or song and which validates my opinion (my opinion is not dependent on anyone's by the way), I know Rahman has scored big time.

I just fell in love with the song the moment I first heard it. It has a great blend of carribean, western and Indian music. The increase of tempo was done gradually and tastefully, with the highest tempo saved for the last few seconds. It was absolutely delighful to hear the number! This brings me to the two questions that was running through my mind while reading the criritcms on the song. 1) Wasn't this song inspiring and passionate? I personally felt it was the right song for Commonwealth- in fact, I even feel like participating in the games after listening to the number. It has the right tempo, the right punch, the right feel that you would want to hear from a sports theme song, doesn't it? Someone once said that ARR would have composed a better song if only he was given more time. I disagree. I always believed that ARR gives his best regardless of how long/short the time given to him. And this time too, I believe that ARR has given his best-the song is superb! 2) Comparison with Waka Waka First of all let me confess, I love waka waka but I still don't understand why anyone wants to compare waka waka with CWG theme. In fact, I don't know why the topic of comparison only arise when ARR composes a number. I don't think anyone would have compared Shakira with Anastacia's Boom or Ricky Martin's The Cup of Life -and Martin's song was a huge hit when it was released! Personally, I don't know what people were expecting? Are they genuinely looking for ARR to pull of a Waka Waka? Or even a Maa Tujhe Salam? Someone here mentioned that they were hoping for a number in the lines of Maro Maro. I'm seriously glad ARR hasn't done any of that. CWG is wonderful and fresh as it is. Then again, I also don't think waka waka was cheesy or that Shakira would be finished if ARR had pulled a better number.

Its not bad but its not even close to the capability of ARR n his name in the music world, he should, he could, he would have done much much better than this. The things went wrong in cwg song according to me r, 1. When some media guy asked him is it like waka waka ? ARR responded to that we tried to go beyond than waka waka or some thing like that he replied. With this reply of ARR people started to expect the song better than chaiyyan chiyaan or maa tujhe salaam, he shouldn't have said that but insted he should have said no its not like waka waka its different from that. He also said that i m working on it since 6 months. When he can deliver the whole sound track like slumdog millionaire within 21 days its but natural that people will expect him to give 100 times better a single song than the songs of sdm. 2. I loved waka waka song. Waka waka's tune was simple but melodious. Song was catchy, peppy, groovy easy to sing, easy to tap one's feet on it, superb video n shakira's charm. 3. ARR's music n compositions r difficult to understand for many people, it takes time to grow, though many people cant understand his music even afer 100 times listen. 4. ARR's movies n private albums not ment for whole india but for arr's fans n those people who can understand music very wel. Cwg song is for whole india n every1 wants to be it like their taste. We (arr fans) care a damn when others dont like his music for movies or private album's, but this time the case is different because he was suppose to give a song which can easily sung by every indian n loved by every1 (he tried to do so) but he couldn't reach his goal. 5. This kind of phase which arr is going through is not first time it has happened before also when people tried to demoralise him n tried very hard to lower his popularity, but by the grace of Almighty he only climed higher n higher. This phase is worst. But whenever that happened when his work was critisized at the extreme level he came with a BANG and silented all his critics. First, at the time of Daud n other movies of his at that time, he came with Taal etc., second time at the time of Bose-the forgetton hero n movies of his at that time, he came with RDB. ARR n Sachin Tendulkar r alike, whenever people say sachin is finish now, he hits a century, whenever people stared saying arr is gonna be a history now he came with the best music anyone can give in the world. This is the same kind of phase from which arr is going through right now, but i m very much sure that sooner or later he will make every1 silent once again inshaAllah taala. with best regards, Shehzad.

[arr] Is there a technical problem with replies?
When I try to reply in a thread, there's a message that says, cannot retrieve message such and such number. Anyone else having this problem? About the CWG theme song, I am warming up to it. In my earlier post, I never meant to suggest that ARR only did this because he felt obligated to or was forced to. Obviously, he created what he thought was apt for the theme and mood and I salute him! I was just wondering in general about his emotional investment into the song.not at all meaning to assume anything or cast doubt on his sincerity. I hear the sincerity in this song very much.
Re: [arr] CWG - welcome song from Kerala (Music - Alphons)

ARR, as a very patriotic citizen, felt very inspired to create a whole album in honor of that. In this case, he was asked to compose this song.

[arr] [Semi-ARR] The Misunderstood Rama
Mani Ratnam's Raavan was all about the statement that maybe there is a Ram in every Raavan and a Raavan in every Ram. This is, by no means, a new thought. It has been contemplated in a lot of movies before Raavan. One half of the statement was made into an entire movie by Subhash Ghai. The crux of Khal Nayak was that there is a Nayak in every Khal Nayak. Mani himself handled the subject in Talapathy, without spelling it out. If you consider Rajini's character the Ram in the movie and Arvind Swamy's character the Raavan, Ram (Rajini) does have a Raavan streak, where he kills people. And Raavan, Arvind Swamy, does have a Ram streak, because of his drive to end crime. If you consider the roles reversed, with Arvind Swamy as Ram and Rajini as Raavan, Ram still has a Raavan streak, because he decides to use an underhanded technique to get rid of Rajini, by allowing Ambrish Puri to try to kill him. And Raavan, Rajini, has a Ram streak because of all the good he does to people around him. So, the concept of a Ram in Raavan, or a Raavan in Ram is nothing new to either Indian Cinema, or to Mani himself. But that doesn't diminish the merits of Raavan by any stretch of imagination. If anything, rather than play it subtly like he did in Talapathy, Mani decided to bring it into sharp focus. If anybody had any doubts about who Mani's protagonist is, they are dispelled by the name of the movie. The moment the movie was named Raavan, all doubts about who's point of view the movie is from are erased. In this scenario, it is only logical that Ram would have a secondary role, even though it is vital to the story. But does Mani deliberately go out of the way to show the Raavan in Ram? Is Ram, or Dev in the movie, short-changed? While I do not know what Mani had in mind, I have formed my own theory on the character of Dev in the movie. The movie wants us to take Dev to be a ruthless cop, with a psychopathic obsession to bring down Bheera. He kills, tortures, lies and hurts anyone and everyone for the one goal of killing Bheera. For just a sampling of his many sins: 1. Torture - he tortures Bheera's brother-in-law for information about Bheera, even when the brother-in-law is on the verge of dying. 2. Lies - he lies to Bheera's brother that he will not harm him. 3. Kills in cold blood - he kills Bheera's brother in cold blood. 4. Uses his wife - he suspects his wife and uses her to get to Bheera. But there is one aspect to all this that people may overlook. In the Ramayana, Rama's first and foremost dharma was to the people of his kingdom. The people's happiness and peace was the utmost to him, even at the cost of everything else. When some people felt that Sita was not pure after Raavana kidnapped her, Rama had her banished to the jungle, because not a single person from his subjects should have an iota of doubt on the king's character. Taking this to Raavan, Dev was, above all else, a police officer - an encounter specialist. He was given a job - to kill Bheera. He made that his only goal. When Bheera kidnaps his wife, his search for Bheera becomes more urgent and intense, but for him the goal was always to kill Bheera. Just as Rama would kill Vali treacherously to get help to find Sita, Dev would do anything in his means to get to Raagini and, in turn, to Bheera. After killing Raavana, Rama tells Sita that he does not respect her because she was with another man for a year. He tells her that she was only instrumental in getting him to do what he was destined to do - kill the greatest and most powerful rakshasa of all time. Sita decides to end her life and jumps into a fire. But her purity is such that the fire has no effect on her. Seeing this, Rama says that he always knew she was pure, but he had to prove it to everyone else, so that no one would have any doubts about her. In Raavan, after Dev finds Raagani, he vows that he will come back, because his real job was to kill Bheera. To do this, he is willing to sacrifice his wife. He puts his duty above even his personal life and happiness. He taunts her with Bheera and threatens her with a polygraph test. Disgusted, hurt, broken and finally defeated, Raagani decided to end her life as she knows it and walks out on Dev. There can be no confusion that the scene where Dev asks her to take a polygraph test is only to instigate her to lead him to Bheera. Yet I have read reviews that state that the scene is so awkward and laughable. Could that mean that the reviewer didn't actually understand the simple fact that it was a deliberate taunt? Or is it that I am interpreting this wrong? The movie shows Bheera's companions as naive people and gives you the impression that they are good people at heart, but the world has made them bad. So when Dev kills them, it shows us more of his Raavan side. But is that really the case? In the Ramayana, when Surpanaka's nose and ears were cut off, she goes to her cousin, who lived in the same jungle that Rama was exiled to and goads him to kill
[arr] ARR AND CWG SONG
CWG is hosted not to promote sports but with the main intention of promoting several persons Swiss accounts further.you (the govt) have not even provided the basic amenities to encourage budding sports people so ,where do you have world class atheletes here, fit to compete in the international arena. OK we shall leave it at that and regarding ARR's theme song considered to be mediocre , let me make it very clear that ARR was asked to do it hoping to add some crediblity for this tainted exercise . I believe the purpose is more than achieved and the money spent is worth every penny.Only ARR can command so much of attention for a song and not any Tom Dick or Harry who are producing cacophony in the name of music. So folks why bother about some persons with zero crediblity. RELAX an Indian ARR fan RELAX!

[arr]Criticism about CWG theme
Hi, Regardless of CWG theme song, just i want to share my thought. See the creation of god. Even he didnt create all living beings without defect. There are some physically challenged people. Then how the people can expect all songs from rahman to be a masterpiece. But it doesnt meant that he lost his creativity. Also we cannot put Dil se song to Enthiran film. The music should synchronise the given situation and emotion. Rahman is a legend in bringing the music for the given situation. May be he is not familiar with sports. Please leave him some space. I am feeling very sorry for the criticisms about CWG theme song. Thanks R KARTHIK Rahmaniac.
[arr] ENDHIRAN IS A MINDBLOWING ALBUM
Hi Guys, Iam writing this after listening to this album for a month. This is a treasure to keep. And one of ARR's best. Everytime i keep the lyrics and listen to the album it gets better and find something new to cherish. Hats off to ARR. Music has no boundries, and this album proves it. Iam thoroughly enjoying every moment of it. Cool Jon

[arr] Re: Roja..........still sounds amazing........and my take on general trends....
Great reading AJ! i tend to agree that the breathing space in songs is a little less nowadays...Also simple and catchy melody/tune is losing prominence to probably complicated song structure making it difficult to hum or remember the tunesCan anyone suggest why this is happening??...is this intended to be his signature or is Rahman just pushing himself too hard and experimenting to create a whole new dimension in global music... But I am not saying his complex tunes are not good in quality...they are absolutely marvellous in quality and making one introspect his music much more...and making us think a lot! Some of his best melodies are simple tune with minimal arrangements...Listen to the following to to understand what I am trying to say!This is a random list that came to my mind :) 1)En Mel Vizhundha 2)Athankarai Marame 3)Uyirum neeye 4)Kaiyil Midhakum 5)Rasaathi 6)Kannukku Mai Azhagu 7)Narumugaiye 8)Porale Ponnuthayi (Sad) 9)Azhage Sugama 10)Nila Kaigiradhu --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, AJ purev...@... wrote: Can't believe it...heard Roja today after ages and the sounds are still so clean, fresh, and breezy...not sounding that outdated at all, despite it being 18 years old. Amazing compositions for ARR's debut..melodious, sweet, earthy, straight to the heart. If there was one thing that I liked about ARR of the 90s that I don't hear much of these days is that ARR's songs back then had a lot more breathing room...there was more space in the songs and the song arrangements were not as dense as they are today. The songs just breathed easier back then it seems, if I were to make a very broad and general comparison to today's songs. ARR also used minimal loops and more spacious arrangements, so you could hear more of silence in the slower compositions. Tu Hi Re is a great example of that. I hope you understand what I mean. Again, these are just observations of mine. I like his past songs equally to his current songs in general, but there are some broad differences, signifying Rahman's evolution as an artist and adding and subtracting elements of his compositional style and sound over time. I am just bowled over how NONE of his songs from the 1990s sound outdated whatsoever even today. That says volumes. One more thing..songs in those days...1990s to early 2000s in general were more Indian soundingnot just with ARR, but with other MDs too. The trend in bollywood and perhaps other industries too is to have more Western and global musical styles in film music with gradual shifting away from the ethnic Indian flavor of songs.not completely, but the trend is there. ARR too used to have more ethnic Indian sounding albums back then, even for contemporary films like Saathiya, Taal, Dil Se that were not period films. Later, the Ethnic Indian sound would be confined mostly to period film scores or situational numbers, but with some exceptions. Delhi 6, Raavan, and Jodha Akbar are the 3 most Indian sounding albums recently and look how beautifully all 3 music albums were received and raved about. I think a lot of people are missing more of the Indian Rahman. Rahman's music over time has become more international and less Indian as a general trendagain with exceptions here and there.

I feel there is a reason behind use of minimal instruments. It's going to performed in a stadium, he might have thought anybody shd be able bring the sound with minimal instruments they have. I'm completely satisfied with the instrumentation and it's a great idea for this kind of song. All you need here is to have the crowd sing along, I'm sure that's going to happen.

[arr]: yeh Delhi hein mere yaar for CWG
Hi Rahmaniacs, Was just wondering if CWG committee can try to use Delhi-6 title track (yeh delhi hein mere yaar) at the promotions, hotels, stadiums, etc alongwith the CWG anthem. Although it already sounds international, they can ask ARR to provide a english only version or something similar. Sure that it would sound catchy enough for visiting foreigners and is quite relevant for the locals as well. Regards, Kiran I K

You seem to be regular ARR fan hence used to analyze music, still you are just giving the judgment not even close to the capability of ARR, that's all. Would it be possible for you to give some elements that you didn't like in it, or could you compare it to ARR's other song highlighting some effects that ARR could use to bring such elements that were required in this song please? Asking you to undergo this drill only because you seem analytical so you can do it. I am not dictating anything. Just think that not even close to the capability of ARR wouldn't be any useful to ARR as a feedback. Some concrete element of deeds or lack of them would be useful to him to understand what people wanted in this song. -- Rawat
