Re: [arr] ARR & Sachin!!

[Mohamed Amin]

I never stressed that this is convent. My point is whats the use in trying to 
point out similarities about ARR & Sachin in this forum. They are both legends 
in their own way but doesnt warrant a lot of discussion about them in 
this group. If you want to discuss their similarities, you are free to start 
another group called ARR & Sachin as this group is purely for ARR and his 
music. Not for anything else.

Huh? I don't think anyone here tried to compare Rahman and Sachin. It's quite 
the opposite. What they are pointing out is 'similarities' . They are legends 
in their own field, they belong to the same era, and icons on Young India and 
have brought cheer and pride to the nation. There are millions of people who 
are big fans of both these legends and I don't see anything wrong in this 
thread. 

I agree if you have an issue about people comparing Rahman with other composers.

Chill dude! This is not a convent with strict disciplines. People should be 
allowed to express what they feel, as far as it's related to Rahman. If you 
don't like a thread, there's a delete button available to your rescue :)

Re: [arr] ARR & Sachin!!

[Mohamed Amin]

I am not sure whether this group is for ARR or for comparing ARR and Sachin. I 
always find that some people in this group doing this. This is not now but its 
been happening some time. Please do understand that this place is for ARR and 
his music. For comparing Sachin, this is not the right forum. Neither ARR can 
become Sachin nor Sachin can become ARR. They are both two dynamic individuals 
demonstrating their prowess in their own skill sets.

Please refrain from comparing ARR and Sachin in this forum. I have been a 
silent member of this group right from 2000 and this sort of comparison takes 
the vital energy of this group. Always someone comparing ARR with Ilayaraja or 
Harris or to some other people. Everybody is unique. Just discuss purely about 
the man and his music.

tks with regards,
Amin

Re: [arr] A.R.Rahman's Statue

I dont think ARR will approve his statue since its against the fundamental

MJ's statue from India could grace Neverland


Indo-Asian News Service
Bangalore, February 06, 2010
First Published: 11:41 IST(6/2/2010)
Last Updated: 12:07 IST(6/2/2010)

   Print   
Over seven months after his death, Michael Jackson is etched in the hearts of 
millions of fans - and also in 12 feet of black granite that its maker plans to 
ship to the late king of pop's Neverland Ranch in California.
The statue is drawing curious crowds at the ninth International Granites & 
Stone Fair  being held in the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (AIEC), 
about 20 km from here.
"It's a personal tribute to the greatest pop singer of our times! He lives in 
our hearts as he was on stage for years," R. Chandrasekaran, managing director 
of RC Golden Granites Ltd, told IANS.
As a diehard follower of the American singer who died suddenly June 25 last 
year, Chandrasekaran, 40, plans to gift the 3.5-tonne statue carved out of 
black granite to Jackson's estate in California. Jackson's sprawling estate is 
located at the Neverland Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara County. The rock singer 
lived there from 1988 to 2005.
"I have written to Jackson's family that I want to donate the statue for 
installing it in his famous estate. I will bear the freight charge, which is 
about $2,500," an elated Chandrasekaran said, while spectators thronged his 
company's stall to touch and feel the legendary singer in awe.
The Chennai-based granite firm spent a whopping $25,000 (Rs.1.2 million) in 
sculpting the statue out of a single block of huge rock that was quarried from 
a mine near Kanakapura, about 50 km from Bangalore.
"We employed six artisans to chisel the granite into Jackson's shape in 45 days 
at our factory in Kancheepuram. As black granite is brittle, the aesthetic art 
work was a test of patience, diligence and skill. His face and eyes were the 
most challenging as we wanted the statue to be expressive and poignant," 
Chandrasekaran said.
The company plans to ship the statue to the US west coast by next month after 
the family's consent in writing for securing clearances.
This is not the first time the four-year-old export firm has carved a statue 
for an icon, as it had sculpted a skeleton in black and white granite last year 
in aid of the campaign against smoking launched by former central health 
minister Anbumani Ramadoss.
"We specialise in sculpting exquisite monuments, statutes and other artefacts 
carved out of granite rocks, which are the oldest geological formations on 
earth. All our creations are exported to European customers on order," 
Chandrasekaran noted.
The skeleton statute, seated on black granite and titled "Hell's Preferred 
Citizen", was displayed at the Granite Monument Stone Fair in February 2009 in 
Chennai and at a fair against tobacco products in Mumbai, March 2009.
"The statue, dedicated to the anti-smoking campaign, has been installed at 
Nirman Bhavan in New Delhi where the health ministry is housed," Chandrasekaran 
noted.
As a music lover, Chandrasekaran also plans to create a statue dedicated to 
music maestro A.R. Rahman, who won two Oscars and two Grammys for the 
film Slumdog Millionaire.
"We will take Rahman's consent for making a granite statue in a pose and colour 
of his choice. At such a young age, he has brought so much fame and acclaim to 
our country from the world over," Chandrasekaran said.
Besides Jackson's statue, the four-day expo during Feb 4-7 is showcasing a Taj 
Mahal and a statue of Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in granite created 
and displayed by other companies.

Re: [arr] Lyrics by Karunanidhi.. Music by ARR

[Mohamed Amin]

I guess, Mannipaya interlude which has Tirukural will be a prelude for this 
kind of song. I am sure ARR will give fitting music for this beautiful words by 
Kalaignar. I really was thinking that ARR will try to use veteran singer T.M. 
Soundararajan to sing these verses along with P. Susheela and other veteran 
singers whose dictions are rarity now a days. Since these song is for posterity 
and will be sung in all government functions from its inception, ARR is the apt 
choice to do justice for his mother tongue. Sun TV's Kalanidhi Maran is 
instrumental in roping ARR for this song. Otherwise it could have gone to 
someother composer. Yet another working by ARR for current and future 
generations.

Amin

[arr] VTV - Music has been sculptured bit by bit by ARR and Gowtham

[Mohamed Amin]

After hearing the music, I find only word to describe is this soundtrack has 
been sculptured with innovation bit by bit. No song has the feel that it has 
been hurriedly composed. I think ARR took his own sweet time to perfect the 
tracks. End result is astonishing. Really ARR brought the tamil songs to 
international level in this album and he has gone to next level after academy 
awards. We can find every bit of internationalization in this track. We wish 
that ARR produces such gems time and again in future for us. Thamarai's lyrics 
are unadulterated tamil. I am enjoying every bit of the soundtrack now. 

Tks ARR for treating us time after time with your innovative compositions.

Re: [arr] Ilayaraja takes a 'dig' at A R Rahman

[Mohamed Amin]

I think, the best way is to ignore people's comment and do our things in right 
way. Sometimes, some people need attention and thats where they utter these 
kind of statements to invoke some debate and turning attention towards them. 
 
We shouldnt even give a damn to these kind of statements. ARR doesnt need to 
prove to anyone. ARR has gone to another league and its his league on his own. 
Naturally, some people are bound to have jealousy over him and cant digest. So 
these are like burbs due to indigestion. We just have to move from these 
comments otherwise its gonna have rotten smell.

Amin

btw, the video is like a 80's cut with a song & music having a 70's touch to

Dear Ramesh,

Being diplomatic, and avoiding arguments is one thing! Not accepting the truth 
when it is staring right on your face is another.

One may argue that the lyrics are suited for the characters of the movie... 
But, if you've followed Tamil industry closely, you will know that attacking 
people through song lyrics, is something IR has done in the past too. That's 
his style. This is NOT the first time! 

BTW, the song is not picturised on any characters of the movie, it is 
picturised on IR himself! It's shot like a music video, having nothing to do 
with the movie itself! Here's the link for the vid http://www.youtube.

About IR criticising "Ella Pugazhum" - I dont need the media to tell me what it 
is! It is crystal clear what IR is saying!

Such statements exist in Hinduism, in vedas and puranas too, where everything 
is attributed to God...It is a to say "I don't take credits for all my 
achievements, it's all given to me by God"...  It is not a matter of 
philosophy, or beliefs Someone who claims to be so spiritual, whom everyone 
calls a "saint" should very well know this and understand, whether he believes 
in it or not! Even if he doesn't believe in it, do you think he should have 
spoken on stage the way he did?
Do you think it is a mature comment, coming from a veteran of the stature of 
IR? It is totally unwarranted and uncalled for! This is the point I'm trying to 
impress upon.

Budapest...)

I can't read Tamil so I have no idea what the Kumudam article that Aravind

Re: [arr] Ilayaraja takes a 'dig' at A R Rahman

[Mohamed Amin]

I think, the best way is to ignore people's comment and do our things in right 
way. Sometimes, some people need attention and thats where they utter these 
kind of statements to invoke some debate and turning attention towards them. 
 
We shouldnt even give a damn to these kind of statements. ARR doesnt need to 
prove to anyone. ARR has gone to another league and its his league on his own. 
Naturally, some people are bound to have jealousy over him and cant digest. So 
these are like burbs due to indigestion. We just have to move from these 
comments otherwise its gonna have rotten smell.

Amin

Carolyn  - Thee Thee Thithikkum Thee (Thiruda Thiruda)

Thumba Raja -  Thee Thee Thithikkum Thee (Thiruda Thiruda) 
Thumba Raja plays Indian-percussion and is a regular in Rahman's team, and is 
the father of Krishna Chetan, Rahman's keyboard player and programmer and the 
man behind remixes like Pon Magal vandhaal, Pappu etc..
I think this is his only song in which Thumba Raja was a singer.

Sivamani - Love check (Parthale Paravasam) 
I think this was the only song he was credited as a singer. The "thir-gidha- 
tha" bit in Vaaji Vaaji sounds like his voice, but am not sure as it is not 
credited!

Ah! To even recollect ARR' s initial journey during early 90's, it gives me 
immense pleasure and makes me sail back to those vintage days..where. .i 
was unconciously inclined towards music only because of this wonder man, A R 
Rahman..! He is the most primary reason for the transition towards Musical 
world for me...:)
 
    This time..i chose "May Maadham"..,  an album with its great melody and 
Rahman's signature sheen its full glory and pomp.! I hold this album to be one 
of ARR's most spectacular works ever..!!! But i am utterly disappointed by the 
fact that this entire album did not do great among the masses. I guess...only 
due to this fact, ARR thought of recreating the same magical score for Hindi 
audiences in "Love You Hamesha.." , but again failed to create sensation due to 
the bad fate of the movie... :-(
 
1) Maarghazhi Poove >  Shobha Chandrashekar
 
( Same as Ek Ladki Thi from Love You Hamesha)
 
    Can anybody confirm me that this singer (Shobha) is the mother of 
popular actor Vijay..??? If so, i wonder why she didnt continue her singing for 
long time..? Nevertheless, comng to the song, it begins with a great flute 
aalap with a royal touch of "Kausalya Supraja Rama..." - the Suprabhata 
chantings- as its backdrops along with the techno beats by Rahman..!! Call it 
fusion/ remixgets ur ears a great morning dose of pleasure..!! ! Perfect 
ringtone for the mobile phonesloved across south india...even some parts of 
North!! Shobha delivers a first class rendition and also the chorus part is 
enchanting.. ." Particularly, towards the end, Shobha and ARR gives us a 
morning classical  feast to our ears!!! 
  An ever memorable Rahman's creation..!! ! 
 
 
 2) Palakkattu Machhanukku  -> Shahul Hameed, G V Prakash Kumar
 
(Same as Botal Tod De in Love You Hamesha)
 
   The demised Shahul Hameed croons this song towards the fag end 
of his life along with ARR's own nephew GV Prakash, who's into music these 
days..!!! One yearns for Shahul to listen more n more after listening to these 
songs. Its a very modern, hep, peppy, trendy song! ARR exhibits his passion for 
technology and western instruments in this song so clearly that one can 
picturise by hearing.!! GV Prakash, with his very shrill and kiddish voice 
provides a naughty atmosphere. 
 Vintage Techno Rahman at his Best
 
3) Madrasa Sutthi Paarka  -> Swarnalatha, Shahul Hameed, Manorama
 
  "Dr r .Drio Na Drio Drio..." Thus 
goes the ever chirpy and every witty Manorama, the senior most Comedienne of 
Southern Cinema. Thanks to ARR a million times...for having used her voice. The 
highly acclaimed Swarnalatha begins her lines with an intention to roam around 
the Madras city...great easy-go rendition by her...!! Shahul Hameed and even 
GVP makes a cameo in the lines.."All- in-all hero". Manorama brings up a 
great wittyness to the ARR tunes...!! 
    A great jolly-go-happy song..!!!
 
4) En Mel Vizhunda  > P. Jayachandran , Chitra
 
(Same as Gupchup Baatein from Love You Hamesha)
 
  The legendary singers Chitra and Jayachandran unite to leave 
behind a resplendent melody which also doubles as a lullaby. A perfect bed time 
song to make your senses ease and relax after a tiresome day. Rahman's lillting 
tunes soothes us to the core with Naveen's ever soothing flute piece, a 
magnanimous Sitar piece and the ever inspiring rendition by the singer duo. 
Vairamuttu's lines again shines as bright as diamond particularly in the 
Antaras..."Mannai Thirandaal Neer Irukkum...En Manadhai Thirandaal Nee 
Iruppai..." Absolute Wonder
    A stunning melody alias lullaby...!! !
 
 
5) Aadipparu Mangattha -> Malgudi Shubha, Sunita Rao, GV Prakash Kumar
   
    The "Paree Hu Main.." girl Sunita Rao makes her Tamil Debut with this 
racy song about a local game involving the playing cards..!! Malgudi Shubha, as 
usual n as expected provides a raunchy, rustic touch to this number. GVP mouths 
few lines for the boy in the film. Though not  a very very memorable song, this 
song certainly has some strange stuff that makes it special. Sunita Rao quite 
fumbles with her Tamil dictions, as is expected out of her..!!! 
  A feel nice song..!!
 
 
6) Minnale Nee  -> S P Balasubramanyam
 
 How can i do justice in describing such a masterpiece by my 
mere words..?? I bet even best critic writer in this world would fall short of 
words to describe the experience he goes through when he listens to this 
song..!! To such an extent i am amaz

the other masterpiece in that album is 'Theendai'. One of the best duets by SPB

vairamuthu. Highly underrated song. ARR must reuse it again in some other 
movies.

[arr] ARR got emotional during the felicitation by Cine Music Union

[Mohamed Amin]

It was a rare sight to see the stalwarts of tamil music fraternity to come on 
one stage. The highlight of the show is the felicitation of Bala Murali 
Krishna, MSV and Ilayaraja. 
 
Harris Jayaraj also spoke during the felicitation in which he said that he 
started to play keyboard after seeing our ARR. 
 
One thing in the show that all musicians came down to show the solidarity and 
they openly praised ARR from bottom of their heart. Many emotional speeches. 
During the speech by legendary singer S. Janaki in which she mentioned about 
ARR's dad. During the moment, it was first time to see ARR got emotional and he 
bowed down to wipe out the tears. MSV and Ilayaraja patted him. It was like 
parents patting their child. Wonderful sight. I think lot of people in the 
audience also got emotional. I am sure many of the people who were watching the 
show also wold have got emotional.
 
Carnatic Maestro Bala Murali Krishna told that he feels like a father and ARR 
as his son and felt so happy within himself. It was heartening to see the 
purist of carnatic music praising ARR.
 
Totally unmatched felicitation show and I guess no other show can be like this 
in felicitating ARR.

I feel it is ARR's greatest ballad.
Anyone feels so ?
There have been some awesome melodies from him.. like 'Thendrale' from Kadhal 
Desam, 'Tu Bin Bataye' RDB.. but this one tops.. 
for the brilliant chords..and the range of notes.

















  

Re: [arr] Ilayaraja hails Rahman as “phenom enal”

[Mohamed Amin]

Thanks Dinesh for your reply. I was also one of the active members but now a 
days I just read and go same as you. I request the members to observe decorum 
to the group. Please dont just blindly criticise musicians.
 
Recently there was a bashing on Pyarelal was going on in this group just 
because he spoke his opinion. I cant take it also. Lakshmikant-Pyarelal pair 
have given us so many hit numbers in hindi. Also they composed for few tamil 
numbers. As a matter of tribute to them, even our ARR has composed 'Ring Ring 
Ringa' inspired from 'Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai'. 
 
Again and again I request our group members to observe decorum of the group. 
Opinions are welcome but not bashing otherwise this group can be equated into a 
group without directions except bashing on people who speak otherwise. 
 
I also expect that people in this group will start bashing me for expressing my 
opinion. Anyway I have got people like you to speak your mind too in favour of 
what I express. I hope this makes sense and this group will continue to focus 
on ARR and his music. 
 
Thanks with regards,
Mohamed Amin

attitudes in nowdays members in our group has made me limit my participation in 
this group.i used to be an active user here with the id "jeansdi". nowdays all 
i do is come here, read the news and leave.

i do hope members of learn to respect and love our very own frends here. we r 
all brothers and sisters that r loving the same A.R.Rahman and his music. do 
not look down or ridicule any1 of them. thank u.

Re: [arr] Ilayaraja hails Rahman as “phenom enal”

[Mohamed Amin]

Guys,
 
please remember what ARR has advised his fans about not to condemn or write ill 
of other musicians. 
 
No one can deny the genius of IR also. IR's story is also like the story of 
Slumdog Millioinaire. Who in this group knows that during IR's first recording 
the power went off. So what a rippling effect it could have been to that man's 
confidence. Inspite of it, he rose and conquered the Tamil film music. Do 
please remember that every person has their own talent. Its wrong from our part 
to deroragete anyone. 

The primary purpose of this group is to discuss ARR's music but not to abuse 
anyone else. We must give credit to good music where its due even its not from 
ARR. 
 
As a person who in this group from the year 2000, I find lately that this group 
is into bashing people whoever slightly speaks in different tune. Hope all the 
members adhere to the recent advice by ARR.
 
tks with regards,
Mohamed Amin

There is nothing wrong in saying that every Tamilian is proud for ARR winning 
an OSCAR.

As a Tamilian I am proud of my language and proud of ARR for contributing so 
much for Tamil music and world music. 

As an Indian I am proud of my country for accepting all languages and all 
culture and all religion. 

These are not contradictory. 

Every one should be proud of his achievement.

Jai Ho, Jay

Re: [arr] Awesome composition by ARR for SUN TV in his early days

[Mohamed Amin]

Guys,
 
any of you has the collection of Vairamuthu's poems with ARR's music? It was 
shown in Jaya TV during his initial days for the period of 13 weeks. I think 
its right after Duet. Also ARR composed special theme music for one of the 
Jaya's functions.

[arr] Musicians in harmony shower Rahman with rhapsodies

[Mohamed Amin]

Guys,
 
please stop abusing others music. This is the strong message sent out by ARR.
 
http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/02/stories/2009030257350200.htm
 
Report from the daily The Hindu:
 
 
To the scores of musicians, who extolled the musical talent of A.R.Rahman on 
Sunday, and to the rest of world, the Oscar-winner had just one thing to say: 
“Music is oneness. Abusing each other in a music industry is unhealthy. I 
request my fans to stay away from degrading someone else’s composition because 
every work is worth its effort.”
As the audience, who were freezing the moments on cameras, looked up to hear 
more, he continued: “This award belongs to every person in the music industry. 
God just had selected me to collect this on behalf of you all.”
A piercing applause rounded off the felicitation function for the Academy 
Award-winner that organised by the Cine Musicians’ Union.
Veteran Carnatic musician M. Balamurali Krishna, said the award was a 
recognition of Rahman’s musical creativity and hard work. Producer A.V.M. 
Saravanan recalled the chartbuster days of ‘Minsara Kanavu’ and the more-recent 
‘Sivaji,’ composed by Rahman, and said both the musical albums played a major 
role in the movies’ success.
He expressed optimism that veterans in the film industry such as 
M.S.Viswanathan and Vaali will be honoured justly for their immense 
contribution to the industry.
Tracing the journey of music in Tamil films, Director K. Balachander said his 
Oscar took the Indian films to a global stage. Films like ‘Nayagan,’ ‘Devar 
Magan,’ ‘Lagaan,’ and ‘Taare Zameen Par’ were not lucky enough to notch the 
Academy award simply because they were not in English, he said.
M.S.Viswanathan blessed Rahman with many more such awards and said the 
recognition was only a start for the Indian music industry. Music Director 
Ilayaraja spoke on the richness of Indian music, which has produced 
“world-class musicians who revolutionised the film music with their 
creativity.” “Musicians who have won more than one Oscars had their awards 
spaced out between a span of good many years. But Rahman made history by 
winning two awards in the same year,” he said.
Other composers, including Bharadwaj, Deva, S.A.Rajkumar, Harris Jeyaraj, Yuvan 
Shankar Raja, Devi Sri Prasad, and singers Janaki, Chitra and Mano participated.

Wow..I never imagined something like this would ever happen...Never thought an

Huge banners / billboards across the city congratulating rahman..I see some of 
them en route to office daily..what a view...what a feeling
 
Most of the city's walls are dominated by posters from politicians, movie 
stars, corporates congratulating rahman..
 
In local news papers you see many advertisements congratulating rahman..
 
Caller tunes, ringtones dominated by Rahman.. people here are like..No one 
else, only Rahman please..
 
I go to local grocery shop, a guy welcomes his customer by saying Jai Ho..a 
Father sings Jai ho with his some 8yr old son..
 
 
All these may be just for few days. .but its our fortune that we are 
experiencing these magical moments in our lifetime..
 
















  

[arr] All praises to GOD

[Mohamed Amin]

As expected GOD has been kind to A.R. Rahman and its the moment of 
proud for all of us. Now the third phase of his musical journey kicks 
in. The first phase started from jingles to tamil movies and hindi 
movies. The second phase started from hindi movies to westend musicals 
culminating with Slumdog Millionaire. Now his third phase has started 
after he has attained the cynosure of all the eyes with 2 wins. So, our 
beloved ARR is a global phenomena now. Congrats and Good Luck ARR. You 
deserve much more and you will go beyond this. 

Its high time the tamil film fraternity makes the planned celebration 
event to much bigger and bigger scale. Its the moment of triumph for 
all of us.

Tks with regards,

Re: [arr] Bollywood artists response for Jagjit Singh

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,
 
I guess ARR's answer will be silent again and he will prove everyone wrong by 
composing powerful ghazal when the situation demands.

Tomorrow some other singer will tell, ARR doesnt know this raga. Only if he 
composes then he is a full musician. Someone else may say some other stuffs. 
ARR knows the best in terms of what to do as a response. ARR evolves in every 
work he does. So change and experiment is the only thing which we can expect in 
his works. That will shut others mouth.
 
Hope the controversy dies by itself. Its just my thoughts.
 
tks with regards,
Amin

Jagjit Singh challenges AR Rahman 
1/29/2009 8:33:07 AM 

Ghazal maestro challenges Rahman to compose ghazals 

AR Rahman's fans maybe raving about the 'Slumdog Millionaire' 
soundtrack, but that hasn't stopped Rahman from being criticised. 
For ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh, Rahman's music is not 'real music'; 
and he has challenged the Oscar nominated music composer to sing 
ghazals.

"It is a fact, just that nobody is saying it, but everybody 
knows...Rahman josh mein aa kar ghazal banayee (If he has it in him, 
he should compose ghazals)," Jagjit Singh said on asked about 
Rahman's music in 'Slumdog Millionaire' . 

The ghazal maestro has accused Rahman of replicating western tunes; 
and he is also not impressed with Gulzar's poetry.

"What to say if Gulzar writes such songs. He can say 'no' if he 
wants. He is a man from great literary background," an angred Singh 
said.

However, his fellow ghazal singer - Pankaj Udhas does not 
agree. "Rahman is a very talented artist; and yes, he can compose 
very good ghazals too," Udhas said. 

Bollywood is, however, divided on Jagjit Singh's response to 
Slumdog's music.

Popular singer Alka Yagnik feels Bollywood music is 
situtional. "Music connected to films is situational, Music 
directors are asked to compose songs accoding to the script of the 
film."

While Yagnik feels Bollywood music is made accoding to the script, 
singer-composer Sonu Nigam completely agrees with Jagjit 
Singh. "Bollywood music is not real music, so that way I agree with 
Jagjitji, but Rahman is very talanted," he said.

Music director Lalit sen also agrees with Jagit Singh. "Whenever 
Jagjitji says something, it is always good...I completely agrees 
with him," he said. But, his bother and co-music director Jatin Sen 
echos Alka Yagnik's views. "We make music according to the script, 
but Jagitji is also not worng. There are no films nowadays where we 
can put ghazals, so we have to keep the script in mind."

As the debate continues, music composer Adhesh Srivastav feels 
Rahman has composed some wonderful music. "Rahman has made some 
beautiful classical compositions like Dil Se, where he has used 
Darbari Raga and Khwaja Mere Khwaja, so he can definately compose 
ghazals." 

Rahman may have bagged several international awards, but the real 
test of Rahman's music lies in the reactions it evokes back home in 
India.

[arr] Oscar - Just one shot away. Inshallah, ARR will be back with the Oscars

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi all,
 
please pray for ARR so that he reaches the coveted award. ARR is just one shot 
away.  Its a matter of pride and prestige for all of us here. ARR's story 
itself is much more interesting that Slum Dog Millionaire.  As a young boy, he 
was struggling to make the ends meet and now he will be getting Oscars. 
Inshallah. ARR's story must be a inspiration to all of us. A humble human being 
who believes GOD. From Chennai to LA. What a fabulous story but its a reality.
 
My dear fans, lets include ARR in all our prayers. 
 
tks with regards,

[arr] SRK wishes ARR to get the award

[Mohamed Amin]

NDTV: A R Rehman has been called the Mozart of India but now he has been 
nominated for a Golden Globe. Is Rehman putting us on the map, finding global 
acceptance that was long over due?

Shah Rukh Khan: Absolutely, I think some of the miss worlds and universes- 
Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen, I am talking only in terms of the media, 
creative world and the modeling world . We got very far on the world map 
because of the presence of these two ladies and then further on lots of girls 
have done very well for us. I think Rehman is a true genius. He has been 
working hard for years and has been going some really different kind of music. 
I have been working with him and am very fond of him. I think that is time that 
some one like Rehman, if he is recogonised internationally it would be rightly 
so, deservingly so. If there is some one who has to get a golden globe from 
India for the first time then there is no one better than Rehman to get it so 
inshahallah. Even if he does not get I think he is the Mozart of the world not 
just of India.

Yuvvraaj - Colossal score by Rahman

IndiaGlitz  [Monday, October 20, 2008]







Yippee! For those who yearned to heed over spellbinding musical scores, here 
comes A.R. Rahman's phenomenal gifts of composition, literary and playing skill 
surmounting to the extremum. The sensational duo combo Subash Ghai-Rahman 
electrified with their scintillating piece with 'Taal' and of course 'Yuvvraaj' 
offers chest-full-of delights. Perhaps, before owning a copy of this album, 
make sure it is not for those of you who want Rahman's full-toned sweet 
melodies, but those who desire to listen to the driving energies of Mozart, 
Yehudi Menuhin, Beethoven and indeed contemporary musician Rahman blended 
together. If you're gonna question, "Are the tunes so entrancing?" Obviously, 
it isn't a clichéd piece of work of turning Gulzar's lyrical lines into tunes. 
Singers have displayed their emotions and it's stupendously balanced by sharp 
clarity of instrumental texture. You're sure to lose yourselves out on the 
purity and sweetness of realistic music.
Dil Ka Rishta – Enchanting score by Rahman
Singers: Sonu Ningam, Roop Kumar Rathod, A.R.Rahman, Clinton Cerejo, Suzanne 
D'Mello, Vivinenne Pocha
The interlude goes on with fortepiano followed by fast flowing orchestral 
violins and stringed instruments played together. The elegantly noble Andante 
cantabile keeps accompanying throughout 7.39mins of songs turning down the 
spotlights and arresting your senses. Never-seen-before vocalisms of singers 
who keep sustaining at high level tones and A.R. Rahman rendering his voice in 
middle parts are fascinating. Sonu Ningam strides with his uttermost spirits in 
churning the best out of him. Roop Kumar Rathod, Clinton Cerejo, Suzanne 
D'Mello and Vivienne Pocha add more to the attractive quotients. Moreover, the 
song has a mix of symphonic genre blended with contemporary western beats and 
of course the carnatic ragas. This should have really evoked your previsions of 
how this exquisite melody would sound. Go ahead; get yourselves transfixed with 
it ….
Shano Shano – Merely for disco floors  
Singers: Sonu Nigam, Srinivas, Kartik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivienne Pocha, Tina.
Again it's Sonu Ningam taking on lead along with Srinivas, Karthik and Sunaina. 
But their exquisite voices get eclipsed by the winkling techno-beats. Well, the 
melodious tunes seem to be bit mediocre at certain parts. But Subash Ghai with 
his sorcerous abilities in cinematography would have got the best on visuals. 
The song would go reiterated over and over straight onto the discotheques.
Shano Shano (Remix) – Sleek and stylish
Ember Rap
Distinctive peppy mix of instrumental synthesizers in hand with brilliantly 
engineered work gets the best sound. Jazzy beat with chorally-stringed chords 
blended with techno-bass all throughout the rap is sure to turn you zippy. 
Preludes are completely played on sync-thick leads and Ember sways tattling 
with rap lines are awesome. With refrains of 'Shano Shano' continually 
recapitulated by female chorus, makes the entire 2.35mins effectually lavish…
Mastam Mastam – Chilling your senses
Singers: Sonu Ningam, Alka Yagnik, Naresh and Benny
Looks like Sonu Ningam haps to be the ducky lad for Rahman. He fleets rendering 
his voice for end-to-end of different genres all throughout the album. Well, 
this song sounds to be having been placed in elated situation. So, what makes 
the song so special? A perfect orchestration of singers and instruments don't 
overshadow voices at any extent… Rhythmic Rumba chords on guitars keeps flowing 
through and last minute of the song you've the best combo of strings and 
percussions blended…. Probably, you can expect a better dance over there on the 
screen.
Manmohini Morey – Mix of classic 'n' western
Singer: Vijay Prakash
Merely, a fusion of Hindustani Ragas rendered by Gulzar and synthesized western 
beats by maestro. Vijay Prakash vocalizes more or less similar with the styles 
of Ustad Ali Khan and 'Sang-froid' would be the best term to entitle this 
number. Surely, you'll feel this to be an already experienced musical and of 
course it's alike 'Dheem Ta Dare' from Thakshak (singer: Suja Bhattacharya, 
Music: A.R.Rahman).
Tu Hi Meri Dost – Ever-cherishing melody
Singers: Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghosal, A.R. Rahman.
Over-the-top! No other words to ennoble this

Re: [arr] Marmayogi postponed!

[Mohamed Amin]

There was a article published in the recent edition of tamil weekly 
'Anandavikatan' in which they covered 'Lifetime Achievement Award' given to ARR 
on behalf of Rotary Club. It seems that during the awards ceremony, they showed 
the clippings of various celebrities praising ARR. One of the celebrity 
clipping was from kamalhassan who told that ARR's awards is not for his past 
contributions alone but for his contributions which he is going to make in 
future. Also he stressed that he will meet ARR in 'Marmayogi'. Atlast he 
understood the value ARR can bring to his film. May be due to his Dasavatharam. 
The movie is running to packed houses but its music sucks. Hope they together 
can create more musical magic in their mega outing 'Marmayogi'.
 
tks with regards,
Amin

Marmayogi postponed!




By Behindwoods News Bureau.




June 26, 2008









The latest news from the stable of Marmayogi suggests postponement! No, not the 
film, but the inaugural pooja. The inaugural pooja of Kamal Haasan's Marmayogi, 
which was earlier scheduled to be held on July 13, 2008, has now been postponed 
to July 25, 2008. It is rumored in Kollywood that Pyramid Saimira expressed its 
inability to conduct the




inaugural pooja, as they would be distributing the film worldwide. But Kamal 
insisted on a grand function and managed to organize one himself. Incidentally, 
Marmayogi, a joint venture between Kamal's Rajkamal Films and Pyramid Saimira, 
is produced on a first copy basis by Kamal. Marmayogi, touted to be a mega 
budget film, will be shot in various important cities across the world.

  This song is undeniably one of rahman's best romantic melodies. Cant
get enough of it... Thanks for the lyrics... Do we have a website for
all rahman's lyrics and translation? Can this group's database be used
for storing all rahman's work? There are so many things we used to say

Re: [arr] After Piya Haji Ali, Khwaja Mere Khwaja, another remarkable tribute from ARR to Khwaja Garib Nawaz of Ajmer.

[Mohamed Amin]

Actually this song rekindled my visit to Ajmer. When I was hearing this song, I 
am transported to Khwaja's Durbar. Sufi mystical magic at its best and it 
brings the ambience of Ajmer. My prayer to ALLAH is give long life to ARR so 
that we can continue to enjoy his compositions.

not to delete the Qawalli Number from the Movie, which is slotted to be

ARR should dedicate similar Songs celebrating the Majesty of Hazrath Khader

Hi Vithur,
   
  I can understand the excitement but it should not go overboard. We are trying 
to give some cult status to ARR. I dont think even ARR will appreciate it. Does 
ARR expects anything from us? We should all think good and do good. It should 
be our default way and we should not do just for ARR's sake. Better we do 
whatever it takes within our capacity for the society.

Re: [arr] Re: Another big Rahman release (JA).......your expectations?

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi all,
   
  basically we must not have any expectations at all. As ARRs music varies from 
movie to movie and all based on the compulsions of the story. So, ARR knows 
best on what form of music will suit. Let us stop our expectations and enjoy 
the music when released so that we dont have any disappointment with us. As we 
all know ARR surprises us with each and every release. Hence we will wait for 
the music to be release and savour it.
   
  tks with regards,
Amin

RE: [arr] To vouch for A.R.Rahman at Madame Tussads!

Dear Guys,
   
  While I can see the love and affection towards ARR, I feel personally ARR 
will not like this idea since form of idol is against the fundamental tenets of 
Islam.ARRs music is in our hearts and its more valuable than the statue at

  Dear all A.R.Rahman fans,

We have had Amitabh Bachan, SRK, and Aishwarya Rai at London's Madame 
Tussads Wax Museum. 

I think it is time we get A.R.Rahman, the living legend's, wax statue 
standing proud there !

The more the number of people vouching for the cause, the more the 
possibility of getting to see him among the ace statues there. 

So please, forward the message to as many Rahmaniacs as possible. 

Thanks,

Its difficult to type when you're speechless. But how can I not inform  OUR fan 
club about the greatness of our beloved Rahman Sir. I'm just back from a 
press conference at GRT Grand days hotel in  Chennai. We went there thinking 
the winners of the finals would be  announced. Our band Srishti has lost the 
semifinals. We thought we had  been called to cheer the other bands. A buffet 
later, we were ushered  into the conference hall. Krish anchored the 
proceedings as usual.We were told Rahman Sir wouldn't be coming as it was 
Ramzan Day and  that the verdict was recorded at his studio and would be played 
to us.  The three finalists in contention were : Oxygen, Zinx and V3.Then 
they played a video about how it all began and where it had  reached now, 
interspersed with Rahman Sir talking about the show and  the talent that was 
exhibited. Then there was a dance performance for  the Ooh La la la song. Then 
there was the vote of thanks, thanking  everyone involved. This
 was followed by another dance performance by  the same group, to Athiradee.I 
could judge the restlessess of the  finalists, waiting for the results! As for 
our band, we were just  waiting to pounce on the winning band, and ask them to 
treat us.Then it was time to announce the results! Krish announced that 
Rahman  Sir would announce the result played on video. Rahman Sir spoke. A  
brief of what he said : Sir felt all the bands exceeded his  expectations. Also 
he said that there were some aspects that were  expected from bands, which were 
not exhibited by some, and some other  aspects which he least expected, but was 
exhibited by the bands.Then came the surprise/shock of the day. Rahman ji 
said that he didn't  like judging because it was very difficult. He also said 
he couldn't  decide on ONE winner alone. So he had chosen 6 winners!!! 
*Silence*And on expected lines, the three finalists were announced as the 
first  three winners (in no particular order). 
 Then he announced Agam, Madras Tunes and Srishti (Yes thats us!!!) as  the 
other 3 winners!This was the moment of my life! The biggest surprise ever. 
Even  thrilling was watching Rahman Sir, the only inspiration behind any  music 
we've made. watching the video of our band perform in the  quarterfinals and 
comment on our performance. Sir said he liked our  boldness of expression, and 
our attitude onstage, and that there was  Jeevan in our music! What 
happened next is just a vague remembrance now... Hugs, photo  sessions, the 
trophy and speaking to the media, thanking Rahman sir, 2  gulab jamoons, a 
sandwich and an ice cream..a few phone calls...Back home.And here I am 
typing this writeup to the group!!!Do watch the final episode tomorrow ie 
SUNDAY , the 14th of October,  on Sun TV at 8.30 PM!  LONG LIVE ARR!!  LONG

Hi guys,
   
  why are we interfering the personal rights and opinions of ARR in selecting 
his film. We should not go to that level that we dictate what kind of pictures 
he must do or not. We are just here to hear his music but not to dictate him. 
So, please refrain yourself from posting these kind of posts about what he must

Hi all,
   
  One thing we are forgetting here. This group is for the music of A.R.Rahman 
and not for dictating ARR. So, we should refrain ourselves from dictating what 
ARR must do and not do. Its his own wish. We are here just to listen and

Rahman's music is similar to Ilayaraja's oldies. The only difference 
is, Rahman used technology & his talent to give right track to those

I am sure Rahman wouldnt credit some composer X, who could be at the

the next generation which should look up to the previous one, with

But again last Sunday, they played athiradhi with elimination mode…AWWWGAWWD 
2lines were eliminated!! !Seriously, Im in explosive mood now..why they behaved 
like that???even they didn’t gave any reason for line elimination.
Is it an official elimination or approval of censorboard? ???Im in big doubt n 
a bit of puzzle.I don’t feel….those lines sound vulgar….it was most ridiculous 
thing which happened to ARR song.Our ARR will never ever sing such vulgar

Hi guys,

Anyone read todays (21st may 2007) issue of Deccan chronicle. In the supplement 
there is a writeup on Tajmahal loosing its position from 7 wonders of the 
world. It says it needs 30 crore more votes to remain as a wonder and some 
organization have started a campaign for saving its position as one among the 7 
wonders of the world. And it is said that AR Rahman has composed a score for 
supporting this campaign and will be aired soon. I am eagerly waiting for that. 
Anyone got any news about that?

thanks

[arr] Sivaji pirated release doing more good than harming claims The Hindu Daily

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi all,
   
  according to the english daily The Hindu, the pirated release is doing more 
good to the soundtracks than harming since the orders have increased after 
people heard the 3 songs. And also the tracks will be released 2 days in 
advance. So, it must be on April 2nd.
   
  http://www.hindu.com/2007/03/26/stories/2007032608160200.htm
   
  `Sivaji' soundtrack, no longer a secret 
  Susan Muthalaly CHENNAI: The soundtrack of Rajinikanth's `Sivaji' is 
no longer a closely guarded secret with three of the seven A.R. Rahman songs 
available on the Internet.   AVM Productions (the film's production company) 
manager K. Viswanathan said there were reportedly about 500 websites from where 
the songs could be downloaded.   Action awaited The company has reported 
the leak to the cyber crime department and is awaiting action.   Due to this 
development, the movie's music may hit stores two days earlier than the 
original launch date of April 4.   But thanks to the talented Mr. ARR, AVM has 
actually recorded an increase in orders from dealers after the illegal release 
on the net, according to Mr. Viswanathan.   He said the response was 
overwhelming and that the current order figures stood at two lakh CDs and two 
lakh cassettes.   The songs that can be downloaded online are `Vaaji Vaaji', 
`Orukudai Sunlight' and `Sahaan Saaral'. 
   
  tks with regards,

Hi Karthik,
   
  cool down man. We are not even supposed to hear the 40 bit sec since its 
officially not released yet. So, just dont give any knee jerk reaction. Wait 
for the soundtrack to be released and then pass your judgements.

what is ARR, shankar and rajini thinking??/

vairamuthu says he took months to write the lyrics.. but no one is
going to understand those lyrics..!

cant ARR compose a hip-hop song with clear lyrics

why should he kill tamil like this? that too it has lyrics like,
pachai tamilan, vellai tamilan.. a bunch of tamil drohis are

Re: [arr] Re: Sivaji-no excuse for rahman!!

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,
   
  we should all stop dictating ARR. Please refrain from posting these kind of 
comments. Also, please refrain from asking for old ARR. Can we go back to our 
childhood now? We cannot. Likewise there is a transition happens in all the 
things in this world. ARR's music is not exempted from this transition. Please 
be patient and appreciate his music. There can be only one Kadhalan or one 
muqabla. So, ARR is unique in all the songs. Let us all wait for the Sivaji's 
music. When Sivaji music will be out, there will be knee jerk reactions and 
someone will say cannot wait for Akbar Jodha. So, stop talking all these things 
and just appreciate his music.
   
  tks with regards,
  Amin

as he has been given time and also a director who can extract work

RE: [arr] The "singlers" list..!

I think you might have omitted Mano, who has sung many songs like Thillanna 
from Muthu, Aathangarai from kizhaku cheemaiyale, kicku eruthey from Padayappa, 
Oh Kaadhale from Kaadhal virus, putham puthu bhoomi, Veerapandi Kottayialae 
from Thiruda Thiruda.
   
  Also Shahul Hameed who sang Rasaathi from Thiruda Thiruda, Usilampatti from 
Gentleman, Maari Mazhai from Uzhavan, Ethukku Pondatti from Kizhaku 
Cheemaiyale, Varayo Thozhi from Jeans etc.

Subject: Re: [arr] The "singlers" list..!

There are few corrections and additions to the list
(Only Tamil and Hindi songs):

I. Following singers have sung more than one song:

1. ANUPAMA has sung many songs for ARR like
"kuch bhi na socho" and "Poovukenna" from Bombay;
"Maaro maaro" from Boys;
"Chandralekha" from Chor Chor;
"Sandhipoma", "Kama kama" from Enakku 20 Unakku 18;
"Love Theme" from Jeans;
"Hello Doctor" from Kaadhal Desam & Duniya dilwalon
ki;
"Ye ye ennachu" from Kaadhal Virus;
"signore" from Kannathil Muthamittal;
"If you wanna" from New;
"July madham" from Pudhiya Mugam
"Spirit of Rangeela", "Aiyaiyoh Kanavaa" from
Rangeela;
"Mercury pookkal" from Ratchakan;
"Sundara en sundara" from Super Police;
"I wanna be free" from Tehzeeb;
"Jaan tum ho meri" from Vishwavidhaata

2. MINMINI
"Saagar se milane ke liye" from Humse Hain Muqabla;
"Paarkathe" from Gentleman;
"Indiraiyo ival" & "Kaatru Kudhirayille" from
Kaadhalan;
"Satten aden thattu nenjam" (BGM) from Kannathil
Muthamittal;
"Pachakili" from Karuthammaa;
"Killigal Rendu" from Manidha Manidha;
"Eduda antha" from Pudhiya Manargal;
"Sambo sambo" from Pudhiya Mugam;
"Chhoti si asha" & "Chinna chinna aasai" from Roja;
"Chithirai" from "Vandi Cholai Chinrasu"

3. P. SUSEELA
"Meettu podu" from Duet;
"Kannamma" from Indian;
"Azhagu" from Pudhiya Mugam;

BTW "Poo koodiyan" from Iruvar is sung by Sandhya.

4. RINA BHARDWAJ
"Baba kichu kichu" from Baba;
"Main vaari vaari" from Mangal Pandey;
"Aaha thamizhamma" from Kangalal Kaithu Sai;
"Yeh rishta" from Meenaxi

5. ABHIJEET (Not Abhishek!!!)
(I simply hate this guy after reading whatever he
said in the Filmfare magazine last year about ARR...)
"Ae naazneen suno na" from Dil Hi Dil Me;
"Chidiya tu hoti to" from Nayak;
"Teri meri baat" from Sapney

II. I am not sure whether Bhattacharya (one who sang
"Jack n Jill") and Surjo Bhattacharya (one who sang
"Dhim da dare" from Thakshak) is the same person or
not. If both are same then he has sung couple of
songs. But I guess both are same person.

III. Kumar Sanu has sung only one song for ARR and
that is "Mil gayi" from Kabhi Na Kabhi. Hindi version
of "Mel isaiaye" from Mr. Romeo is sung by SPB.

IV. "Naramugaye" from Iruvar is sung by Bombay
Jayashree only and it's her only song for ARR. It's
not by Nithyashree.

V. I guess Sunidhi Chauhan has sung two songs for ARR.
one is "Saiyyaan" from Nayak and other one is "Tham
gaya toofan" from One Two Ka Four. Experts please
clarify.

So as far as my knowledge of ARR's songs is concerned,
list can be modified as:

Alisha Chinai ("Jumbalika" - Thakshak)
Apache Indian ("No problem" - Love Birds - Both Hindi
and Tamil)
Arjun ("Chittukuruvi" - Parasuram)
Arvind Swamy ("Udal mannukku" & "Unnodu naan" -

Babul Supriyo ("Taram pam" - Doli Sajaa Ke Rakhanaa)
Bharatiraja ("Kaadupotta" - Karuthamma)
Bombay Jayasree ("Narumugaye" - Iruvar)
Boney Chakraboorty ("Rasiya" - Mangal Pandey)
Caroline ("Thee thee" - Thiruda Thiruda)
Deepika ("Vaa maanava" - Thaalam)
Gopal Rao ("Thulli Thulli" - Oonjal)
Hans Raj Hans ("Saiyyan" - Nayak)
Johnson & Mukesh ("Theekkuruvi" - Kangalal Kaithu Sai
Kalpana ("Tirupachi arivala" - Tajmahal)
Kamal Haasan ("Aalangaati mazhai" - Thenaali)
Kishori Gowariker ("Ghanan ghanan" - Lagaan)

Re: [arr] Guru in Tamil?!

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi Thineshan,
   
  your worries are unfound. ARR composes universally so he can make song in 
tamil and make it hit in hindi or English or vice versa. Take for example, Doli 
Sajake Rakhna, when it was dubbed to Tamil as Jodi, it became a super dooper 
hit. Hopefully, the tamil version will be more enjoyable if it has lyrics by 
Vaali or Vairamuthu.

  Amin

Hi all,     can we just put an end to these. We have talked about these for long. Ultimately, its upto ARR to decide whether he can compose for any director or not but certainly not us. As a fan, our duty is to enjoy the music nothing else. I have seen many mails in this group telling that ARR should compose for some guys, should not compose for certain guys and all these stuffs.  Are we going to dictate ARR about this?        So, please stop debating abt whether there is a rift between some one or ARR should compose only for certain people.     As a fan, we must enjoy the music from ARR other things must not bother to us. Let ARR do his creative stuff and continue to enthrall us for many more years to come.     Thanks with regards,  Amin           $*$ PaVaN

[arr] Godfather movie releasing on May

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,     in the recent edition of tamil weekly ananda vikatan, director KSR was being interviewed and according to him, the movie is going to a be treat for ajith fans since it has 3 ajiths. Also its slated for release on May since one song need to be picturised. Further he guarantees all the necessary items for the success of the movie by remarking 'lateaa vandhalum latesta varan Godfather' (meaning eventhough Godfather is releasing late, but its packed with latest things). Lets hope for the movie's release and KSR further stresses the importance of the music in the film and overall value of the film due to ARRs music.      Also he is busy with dasavataram with kamal. So, more treat waits for us.     Thanks with regards,  Amin__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?  Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around

[arr] Semi-ARR: Sunali Rathod wants to sing for ARR

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,     I was just surfing the channels this morning and happened to see Sony Music where Sunali Rathod(For tamil music fans, she is the one who sang Yamunai Attrilae from Thalapathy for IR) was being interviewed. Finally she mentioned in her interview that she wants to sing for Rehmanji since he is the one who comes out with innovative music and showcases the singer's talent. Then she mentioned other MDs names but again in the last she mentioned again that its her longing wish to sing for ARR.      This shows that when singers sing for ARR, they get instant recognition as well as full show case of their talents which other MDs may notice. (Since most of the Indian MDs always look out for ARRs releases to draw inspiration)     Thanks with regards,  Amin__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?  Yahoo! Mail has the best spam

Re: [arr] GF singapore sales worrying

Guys in Sg, any idea who was the DJ? If we know who was the DJ during that time, then we can call her up during one of her shows and express our displeasure. Certainly they cannot equate any crappy stuffs with a masterpiece. They have to know it.      With regards,  Amin__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?  Yahoo!

[arr] ARR redefines Kuthu paattu with Kamma karayilae

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,     once again ARR establishes that he is a trendsetter and redefines the kuttu paattu with kamma karayilae. Cannot get over the ooha oooha. Its mindblowing. Dont be surprised if this song becomes no. 1 in all count downs. Its very peppy.     And once again ARR-Vairamuthu combination redefines lyrics standard. The lyrics are excellent and sometimes funny also. Wonderful usage of words.     What you guys think abt it?     Thanks with regards,  Amin

[arr] Why ARR has always been mentioned as Bollywood Composer in the International Media?

Hi guys,     I find strange when International Media always project ARR as Bollywood Composer. Can they just mention him as Indian Music Composer. It may sound better I feel. Branding him as bollywood composer makes me feel that he is confined only to bollywood composer.     Thanks with regards,Amin

 I would like to mention something about sufi songs. They are no one's property and these songs have been sung for centuries so anyone is free to use these songs. Further what ARR is doing is to make use of these songs and make them more popular so that it reaches all audience.

Re: [arr] Arvindswamy- ARR combo no more?

[Mohamed Amin]

And also Arvindsamy appeared in a camoe role in Alaipayuthey. Arvindsamy has reportedly bid adieu to the film industry and he is a successful business man in Chennai. Further he is heading his Back office operations and keeping himself immersed in the business.stylegamer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  This cocombo is the unique. I totally rocks. Remember ARvind swamy was the was very first hero for ARR in Roja. In the 90s ARR went on to do his best music for this actor like Bombay, Indira Minsara Kanavu and En swasey Katrea. Even though ESK did not win any accolades, it is stillremembered for 1 or 2 of its catchy tunes and a refreshing break in 1999 after ARRs Cultish Dil Se. ESK was the first album by ARR to release in 1999 , one of his peak years. THen ARR were to do 2 more movies with Arvinswamy
 namely Enginneer and Mudhal Mudalaaga, Both which were shelved in the 90s. All in all Before the mysterious disappaeance of Arvind Swamy in the industry. this combo would have worked around 7 albums and movies.Highest record for any actor/music director combo and could potentially go down in history of tamil cinema as a novel topic.Even though Engineer has been revived, THe lead roles has been replaced with Surya and another actress.Mudhal mudlalaaga may be shelved to the piint of no return.

[arr] A. R. Rahman takes a trip down memory lane

A. R. Rahman takes a trip down memory lane 
Sudhish Kamath 




"It's nice to have a place dedicated to music" he says 



 AT HOME: It was a get-together of sorts when A.R. Rahman paid a visit to his alma mater on Tuesday. The music director inaugurated the piano section at Musee Musical. — Photo: V.Ganesan 


CHENNAI: Little Dilip used to come here years ago, and grew up watching many musicians finetune their skills. 
For many like him, it was second home. 
Musee Musical, the best known landmark for music, musicians and instruments, opened yet another door on Tuesday evening, when a Toyota Innova made its way through a rain battered lane off Anna Salai. 
For Dilip, it was a trip down memory lane as he stepped out of the car to a warm welcome — now as A.R. Rahman. 
New piano section 

Clad in a white embroidered kurta, a blue waist-coast with matching corduroys, he quickly proceeded to cut the blue ribbon to declare the new piano section of the store open. 
After obliging lensmen with a quick 15-second test of the Yamaha piano, he went around to check out the other beauties crafted out of ebony and ivory. 
"I first came here when I was ten or eleven," recalls the music director. "I used to come with my father. I wrote all my music exams here." 
"Jacob John, the piano teacher was his master," M.H. Das, managing director and owner of Musee Musical, adds. 
"It's nice to have a place dedicated to music," says Rahman, fondly recalling his long association with the centre. 
"I was busy and hadn't been here in a while. But I came back last year. The last thing I brought here was a shehnai. I tried to learn and failed miserably," he laughs. After a quick chat on his forthcoming films, he then steps into yet another section of the store upstairs for photographs with the staff. "He's such a humble man. I met him yesterday at 15 minutes notice and he immediately agreed," Das smiles. "He is just the same boy, he hasn't forgotten us." 
The folks at Musee Musicals were thrilled, some of them had their cameras loaded with pictures and others showed off the prized autograph. Dilip, surely, made their day.

[arr] ARR-Shankar-Vairamuthu combo for Sivaji

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi guys,
 
It has been confirmed that the magical combo of ARR-Shankar-Vairamuthu will be back again for Sivaji as reported in the latest issue of the tamil magazine Anandhavikatan. 
 
Hope it becomes true and we can sense that this combo will be back during the cassette release function of Aah Aaha when Shankar described ARR's music as layers of cake which has to be enjoyed slowly and gives surprises at every layer.
 
Its gonna be a musical mega movie.
 
thanks with regards,
Amin

Re: [arr] current events

[Mohamed Amin]

Hi Rano,
 
I expected that referring him as GOD will certainly depress him because its called Kufr in Islam. I raised this point long back and no one seems to abide. I feel that people should love his work and dont ever call him as GOD or anything else. What we have got from his the gift of pure music. We have to cherish that.
 
I appeal to the group that hereafter please dont refer him as GOD of music or anything else associated with GOD. It will depress and hurt our composer.
 
Thanks with regards,

This group is going thru a downward spiral into nothingness. What's the allegation against Margazhi Poove. How is it copied if EVERYONE knows what it is? It's used with a point, just as Saare Jahan se Achchha is used in Hindustani as an interlude I think.Also the comments that Sangamam is not electronic. It is SO electronic. It is full of samples and synths. The folk aspect is new and fresh and awesome, but to say it's not electronic!And A R R requests, please please don't refer to him as God or whatever. It certainly DOES NOT reflect the opinion of the entire group with its varied background, and most of all, it DEPRESSES A R R to say the least.
