 Frankly, ARR should be in the top ten. His creative powers remain
 underestimated. Vishal B was ranked higher than ARR for his films mostly.

 Hey! Vijay Iyer came in at number 16...higher than ARR! How about
 that!

 50 Most Creative Indians
 Some are famous, some are not. You may agree with the list, you may not.
 But these are in our view the most imaginative men and women in the country.
 *In no particular order.*

 1. ARUNDHATI ROY
 Voted third on Forbes' list of `30 Utterly Inspiring Role Models', the
 author of God of Small Things is a voice you ignore at your own risk, one as
 audacious as it's eloquent in raising questions.

 2. VISHY ANAND
 The first Indian world chess champion, formidably fast on the board,
 inventive with tactics and strategy. He has grown better with age, and there
 remains no perceptible weakness in his game. A master of player psychology,
 in the past two world championship matches held recently, he spontaneously
 adapted his game to the man across the board.

 3. AMIT HERI
 Audiences at the Berlin, Montreux, London and Paris jazz festivals have
 been bowled over by this guitarist-composer. He's jammed with Angelique
 Kidjo, Robert Miles and Zakir Hussain, but oddly enough this Bangalore
 artiste's jazzy riffs remain alien to most Indian ears. For a desi listen,
 try Jhoola, his album voiced by Kota, Mizo and Uttarakhandi chanters.

 4. JITEN THUKRAL AND SUMIR TAGRA
 Pop went the easel, video and installations in the hands of this Punjabi
 duo, affectionately dubbed TT. Ever since the 2005 debut of these
 communication designers, they've artfully trotted out enough material to
 turn even Elton John into a TT collector. The duo, who've shown at London,
 Berlin, Sydney and Shanghai, explore HIV and consumerism with safe-sex
 chaddis and dinosaurs designed from strawberry-syrup bottles.

 5. SACHIN TENDULKAR
 Sachin was the cherub of the team when Kapil Dev took up a bet with him:
 You must play ten years for India. He played 20. He is still playing.
 Earlier, bold strokes were Tendulkar's unique selling proposition (USP).
 Now, it is the way he rations his experience, body and skill to climb peaks
 only he can.

 6. SABYASACHI MUKHERJEE
 When he graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in
 1999, he was heralded as the future of Indian design. In subsequent years,
 he has lived up to expectations by crafting a series of stunning
 collections. By using indigenous techniques like bandhani, gota work, block
 printing and hand dyeing, Sabyasachi creates modern silhouettes that carry a
 rich aroma of India in them. His kalidaar kurtas, lehengas and saris are in
 heavy demand across the world, and his label thrives in countries like the
 US, UK, UAE, Greece, Germany and Singapore.

 7. SIDDHARTH BASU
 The original quizmaster of India, he made general knowledge fashionable
 among youngsters. Starting off with Quiz Time on Doordarshan, he went on to
 host and produce programmes like Master Mind India and India Child Genius.
 Basu's biggest success came in the form of Kaun Banega Crorepati , a show
 that not just marked Amitabh Bachchan's debut on the small screen, but also
 redefined TV viewing in India. Through his company, Synergy Communications,
 Basu is now working on various reality TV formats like Dus Ka Dum¸, India's
 Got Talent and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

 8. PRASOON JOSHI
 As a poet, lyricist, award winning adman and Aamir Khan's chief creative
 officer, Joshi wears many caps. His `Thanda matlab Coca-Cola' campaign,
 which won a Golden Lion at Cannes, was fizzy enough to guarantee his role as
 his advertising mentor Piyush Pandey's spiritual successor.

 9. JAGGI VASUDEV
 Some say he's the coolest spiritual guru since Osho. `Sadhguru', who often
 swaps his trademark beige robes and turban for denims and Orkleys, and
 enjoys the occasional volleyball game, dubs his brand of spirituality `inner
 engineering' and `software for the soul', making him the go-to saviour of
 sanity for millions of stressed out infotech professionals in South India.
 Now, his Isha Foundation is taking the franchise route to reach a suburb
 near you.

 10. DAKSHA SHETH
 Over the last 45 years, Daksha Sheth has created an entirely new dance
 vocabulary by blending Mayurbhanj Chhau, Kalaripayattu, Kathak and the
 spectacular aerial techniques of Mallakhamb. Not one to shy away from the
 unknown, Daksha enjoys moving into fresh territory. Some of her famous works
 include Search for My Tongue, Mahisasur Mardini, Kalia Daman and Sarpagati.

 11. SUBODH GUPTA
 Bihar once had Nalanda. Bihar also housed this artist from Khagaul until
 he stormed the art world with his cowdung

 Please give us your suggestions as to how Rahman should have scored
 differently given the type of movie in mind. Did you want soulful, soft,
 melodious numbers like in Zubeidaa? Sufi music? Kathak music?

 Please enlighten us!

 My point is that if want to bash a music album completely that's tied to a
 film, maybe you should direct some of your ire towards the type of movie and
 the director who extracts the music from the MD and has a say as to which
 songs would be allowed and not allowed. For Enthiran, Rahman had so score a
 type of music that was apt for the film at hand, just like all his film
 albums. If the music is not your cup of tea, say, this music is not my
 taste, but maybe others will like it, but please stop the bashing and

   Hello all,
  
   I have not written a review of any album so far in this group in the
 last 8
   odd years of being around. I think its been that long...what with so
 many
   good reviewers around such as Chord etc, we are well balanced.
  
   I just thought this time i would attempt to sort of share some notes on
   enthiran.
  
   Enthiran did not require any brilliance in actual composition, the
 whole
   sound track needed lot of energy and some out of the world programming
 and
   mixing expertise. The concept of the sound track of enthiran suits all
   gizmos and toys that today almost all good composers have or can gain
 access
   to. It is the balance of what to use, how much to use to strike a
 trade-off
   between noise and music. This trade-off is seen in its absolute best in
 the
   first track of the CD.
  
   I am great fan of electronica - house, techno, beach house,down tempo
 and
   lounge music produced by lables such as Ministry of sound, Hed Kandi
 and few
   select DJ/programmers such as Armin Van Burren, Ferry Corsten, ATB,
 Moby to
   name a few. What these guys ensure is that the overall feel of the
 song, the
   production values are so damn rich that you feel that extra cash that
 you
   spend on your expensive CD system is well spent. They many not always
   produce melody, but the rhythm, the bass, the ambient pads, synths used
 are
   chosen and placed with such perfection that a rather simple 4x4 beat
 track
   sounds awesome. Rahman has a team that achieves and exceeds the
 standards
   set by such international artists. However, in the context of film
 songs
   such brilliance are often interrupted by the demands of the
 song,situation
   and directors brief. And i think striking a balance is very tough given
 so
   many strings pulling. If you remove the strings, Rahman's music becomes
 more
   free flowing and thats why Vande Mataram and his latest god level
 tracks in
   Nokia Connections album are talked about.
  
   Now, if you listen to puthiya manitha, the first track in enthiran disc
 -
   the samples used, the structuring of the song, the reverb and the
 overall
   usage of the stereo soundscape has come out so well that it is an
 absolute
   satisfaction. The dept of the kick (beat), the open and closed HiHats,
 the
   rising and falling synths are right there where the best of the music
   producers operate. I mean when i heard it for the first time and after
 the
   Khatija's lines are over i felt ..It would be great if he introduces a
 layer
   of soft kicks with prominent highs and sort of make the track flow into
 the
   mainline. And it happened and happened so well. This is strikingly
   brilliant. It feels rich.
  
   Same is the case with Khilimanjaro track. The taiko drums sink deep and
   uses all the stereo landscape such an instrument needs. Taiko drums
 have a
   very loud character to it. Once you introduce it in a song, you must be
   careful not to under utilise it because energy levels in the song will
 drop
   so badly that you would start to loose interest. Over usage would be
 very
   irritating. Khilimanjaro is a fairly simple track and has a of space to
   breath. This makes it very catchy and to top it, the production values
 are
   awesome.
  
   The problem comes in the other track - Irumbile oru idhayam. This is a
 very
   sad and average track. It seems to be put in a hurry. Very ordinary.
 When i
   heard it first i felt the track is going to take off in an another
 level
   when Kash n krisshy start their lines, those vocals sounded so classy,
 so
   global and so trance. But then the song remained the same with some
 loose
   lyrics. Not done, this is the weakest track.
  
   Infact, Trance has never been Rahman's forte. That track - Kellamal
 Kayile
   from Azhagiya Tamil Magan was very sad too. It had a template beat and
 fell
   flat in the first 60 second. Infact, i don't like Fanaa from Yuva
 either.
   Its very jarring. Going by the standard set in Puthiya manitha,
 irumbile oru
   idhyam should have sounded something like 9PM by ATB or check out Ferry
   corsten's

 Oscar and Grammy-winner A.R. Rahman's highly-anticipated 'A.R. Rahman Jai
 Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour' was witnessed by thousands of fans
 in New York, Atlantic City and Virgina in USA recently. Rahman even has a
 surprise guest! Kylie Minogue.

 Kylie and Rahman performed 'Chiggy Wiggy', a track from the film *Blue* that
 released last Diwali. After about 24,000 people saw the show in three
 days, the show is now moving across America, Canada and London.

 “I know you are all excited to share pictures and videos from the concert.
 We are going to release a DVD of the concert later this year. Please keep
 the surprise and excitement alive for the remaining cities on the tour,”
 Rahman revealed after the concert.

 The concert, produced by Deepak Gattani from Rapport Productions, will
 travel to over 20 major arenas and cities worldwide. During this period, he
 will have live concerts in USA, Canada, Netherlands, France, Norway, and UK,
 covering the cities of New York, Atlantic City, Washington DC, Chicago,
 Detroit, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Amsterdam,
 Paris, Oslo, Glasgow, Manchester and London.

 Well-known choreographer-director Amy Tinkham, who has worked on the live
 musical concerts of pop icons Paul McCartney, Madonna, Britney Spears, Dixie
 Chicks and Motley Crue, has teamed up for the tour. The live concert will be
 a theatrical experience that will blend new technologies with dance
 arrangements and acrobatics. It will feature changing sets, large images and
 a cast of musicians and dancers from across the globe.

 Aishwarya, Rajnikanth's Endhiran arrives in Aug
  Two Oscar Winners working on film

 Good news for fans tired of waiting - the Rajnikanth-Aishwarya Rai
 extravaganza 'Endhiran' (Robot) will hit theaters this August. There is just
 one song to be shot at a hotel still under construction near Anna Arivalayan
 in Teynampet.

 The Oscar winning duo of AR Rahman and Resul Pookutty have jammed for
 'Endhiran' - Rahman has composed six songs for the film, one of which he has
 sung himself. Sound designer Pookutty has been handed the final edit of the
 film and is busy inputting the big action sound effects to polish the film
 before release.

 The producers of the film have already spent crores on the film but
 director Shankar is contemplating on a 3D version, the conversion would be
 done digitally during post production (like in the new Harry Potter film).
 Shankar's strategy is to bring audiences to the theater, and keep pirates at
 bay, in case you didn't already know, his previous film 'Jaggubhai' was
 widely pirated, and was even available on the internet on the day of the
 release. The director was shown a 3D demo of the film by a leading special
 effects company, and was highly impressed by the result.

 'Endhiran' has already broken a lot of records, AR Rahman is now the
 highest paid musician in India and Aishwarya Rai is the highest paid
 Bollywood actress of all time, with an upfront fee of Rs 6 crore. Aishwarya
 beat out the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin, Trisha
 Krishnan, Shriya Saran, Priyamani and Nayanthara who were approached to star
 in the film.

 Endhiran was filmed in Himachal Pradesh, the US, Vietnam, Brazil, with a
 song shot at the historic site of the Machu Picchu in Peru! Four hundred
 students from the Vellore Institute of Technology were used as extras in the
 film. The fight scenes in the film were choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping, who
 worked on 'The Matrix', the animatronics and puppetry were done by
 Hollywood's Stan Winston Studios, the visual effects/CGI were rendered by
 Industrial Light  Magic. Endhiran releases on 14 April 2010.
