[arr] Slumdog millionaire housefull at San Jose
hey guys, We had a free screening of sdm at San Jose tonight and it was gonna start at 7.30 and i had got 2 passes. I thought there would not be too many guys interested in this movie and showed up 15 minutes before the start. There was a long line outside and I assumed they had not let anyone in yet. But to my surprise I learnt that the seats were already full and these guys were waiting in hope that there may be another screening ;)...Nah they dint have anothr screening :(... Damn, I dint know that this movie would turn so many heads.I am glad that Rahman's score is being appreciated by a lot of ppl.. Since I was turned away from the movie theatre i ended up watching a comedy movie... and i guess it was totally worth it i had a great laugh and a good time... probably sdm would have been better... atleast the music 4 sure. u never know ;) have fun, Arun

Re: [arr] My Dream - Celebration Plan for ARR's 100th movie's Music release
Hi Mathan, U have done a good job in compiling this list. But i guess u have added the same movie twice. Anbe Aaruyire and Aa Aah are the same movie. This would then bring the count down from 97 to 96. But that still means we have a reason to celebrate the next year :) 83 Anbe Aaruyire (2005) 84 Aa Aah (2005) Just correct this . have fun, ARun - Original Message From: Mathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 2, 2008 12:51:46 AM Subject: [arr] My Dream - Celebration Plan for ARR's 100th movie's Music release Hi Friends, I would like to share my dream with you… as we are waiting for the Ada's release on Music stores… I am just thinking of the music launching function of our boss's 100th movie.

[arr] My review of JA - Just Awesome
Hey guys, I watched JA on friday in San Diego but dint find time to write abt it though... anyways here it goes... Actually taken right from my blog ;) It’s been a really long time since I wrote about some Bollywoodmovie. Probably its just that I am lazy or that the movie does not deserve myanother one hour or so apart from the 3 I would have spent watching it..(SometimesI would loose interest even half way through ;)) I seriously wanted to write about Taare Zameen Par.. I watched it in India on mywinter break and boy..Was I impressed with it?... Definitely Nosecond thoughts about it. After having watched some really ordinary or belowaverage movies it was like a refresher. Most of the movies lacked in alldepartments while some did have good things in bits and pieces but none of themas a package, did impress me. I did not have time to review the movie on myvacation. But to say in one line, TZP had some very fine acting, a nice script,beautiful music and good direction. Thats how the year 2007 ended in terms of movies for me. 2008, the biggest release in the first quarter Jodha Akbar had allpossible delays and the release dates were postponed like how a softwarerelease would happen. The had some bigwigs from the industry , right from the producer to the director , the lead pair andof course the music director 'A.R.Rahman'. The canvas was big but the promotionwasn’t . If only it were SRK, you could have imagined how he would havepromoted the movie. Either no one was interested to promote of it was theconfidence in the movie and its stars which the producers believed would get theaudience to the halls. Believe me, if there is one star whose movie wouldattract audience even without any kind of promotion would be the TamilSuperstar Rajnikanth. But I don't think anyone else has such a crazy fanfollowing to get the investment back without advertising the movie. Anyways, I had no big hopes on this movie except that it had some great songsby AR Rahman. I just loved all of them when the music was released sometime inJan. He proves now and again as to why he is way above the rest of the league.Well then again Gowariker has given Swades and Lagaan, which according to mewere very good, so thought I should give it a shot. May be he has comeout with some good stuff again, I said to myself. The movie released on 15th of Feb in San Diego at a really small hall in one of the multiplexes.(The hall was super small for any multiplex standard at least I would notgo there again). I was surprised to see a housefull show. (How the heckdid so many of them come to know abt this movie? ... just thinkingaloud). The movie started off with Amitabh Bachchan's narration about India duringthe Mughal period and soon the camera panned on to the battle field. I guessthis was around 9.45 in the night and from then on till 1.20 a.m it was a spectacularshow of audio and visuals. Many complained about the length of the movie butfor me it was worth every minute. You are there to be entertained. Thenwhy not get entertained for a little longer, why do you complain Think itslike a 'Buy 2 get 1 free offer'. a few extra minutes free for the money uhave paid. Probably it is a prejudice that a movie should run for just 21/2 hours only (get that out of your heads guys). I am not reviewing this movie but re-viewing a few moments from my memory whichI thought made this film a piece of art, worth the money I paid. Although themovie has a lot of characters and thousands of extras, it belongs to theelegantly beautiful Aishwarya as Jodha Bai and sophisticated nobleman JalaudinMuhammad played by Hrithik Roshan. They are such a striking pair. I dint saythis when I saw Dhoom-2 though. The chemistry they share is simply superb. Thecasting could not have got better than this for the roles of the protagonists. (Eye)shwarya was more beautiful than ever, should I say cute or charming? Ijust loved the way she played Jodha, seemed perfectly tailor made for her. Thesoftness in the character, her gait, her long hair, everything suited her.The lady in Red mesmerizes the audience with her simplicity. MeanwhileHrithik seems to have enjoyed the character and played Jalal with ease (he hasgiven an outstanding performance). Not sure if anyone would have done justiceto his role. The main theme of the movie is the love story although it does have other plotsjuxtaposed to the story line. Bollywood has beaten this theme in all directionsand has come to a saturation point but still the director has succeeded ingiving us a simple and beautiful story, really well told. There are a lot offine points I can think of. First and foremost, this movie would not have been what it is , if not for thegrandiose music by the Mozart of Asia. The background music isoutstanding, spell bounding. Rahman, who has given some great background scores,is one person who knows its importance and has done his job
