But I don't want to talk about them as he has not spoken about them' said Gautham Menon. 'When Mani Ratnam and Illayaraja broke up years ago not many actually paid much heed. Similarly there is no need to give much attention to our break-up as well' added Gautham. Gautham went on to say that filmdom is a highly unpredictable industry and that anything could happen in the future. By saying this, is he hinting at a possibility of Harris and himself coming together for a film in the future? It will sure be good if that happens. About his forthcoming projects, Gautham is gearing up to announce the start of a project very soon. Music would be by A. R. Rahman and the 'Varanam Aayiram' director would work with a new team for this venture which is expected to kick start very soon. Gautham Menon also spoke at length about his father and the reason as to why he made 'Varanam Aayiram', Suriya's preparations for the film and also answered many questions fielded by critics of late.* Proof : http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/43092.html -- regards, Vithur

Vijay Prakash previously sang for ARR in Pal Pal Hai Bhari from Swades. Very good singer. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Anil Nair [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.naachgaana.com/2008/10/16/yuvvraaj-sheru-bhais-music-review/ Yuvvraaj is my most awaited film of the year. Part of the reason why I am eagerly awaiting this film was because of the Ghai-Rahman combination. When they got together for Taal it was pure magic. Just a week ago I revisited Rahman's Taal and after hearing the album I thought to myself that it is going to be a hard task to even come close to this album. So can Ghai and Rahman create magic once again does Yuvvraaj come close to Taal??? Main Yuvvraaj - This isn't a song, it's just Bethoven's famous instrumental and Salman's famous showoff speach combined together. As usual Salman is bragging about himself that he's this and that he's that WHATEVER, JUST SKIP. Tu Hi To Meri Dost - Just when your hear Banista Banista echoing in the back, you instantly tell yourself that Rahman has a wonderful composition up his sleave. Yes, wonderful it is. Rahman Saab uses violins and the piano to create a foot tapping, chart busting track. Doesnt Benny Dayal sound like Kamal Khan? Anyways, Benny does a marvellous job here. This goes out to show how much trust Rahman has in his singers. This song could have been sung by Sonu or Udit, yet it went to a newcomer. Rahman enters the track towards the end as he combines his voice with Shreya's. Shreya is perfect on this track. She sounds more mature and sultry here. This is a catchy track that you will fall for instantly. Shano Shano - Rahman picks up the pace as he uses hip/hop/RnB/techno beats to create this number. The techno beats really stand out and add flavor to this track. This track itself is all over the place. There is a lot going on and sometimes it's hard to catch the lines. Yet the lines that we do pick up are very catchy, for example, Shano Shano get on the floor. Srinivas and Karthik are decent on this track, while Sonu obviously stands out as he enters the scene towards the middle of the track. Some people will like it, some people will hate it. I adore it this is the best track to play in your car trust me lol. The remix version is high on hip hop and rap. As usual Indian singers are trying to act like North American rappers. It's a good remix, today's youth will relate to it .no dull moments for sure. Tu Muskura - After two foot-tapping numbers, Rahman decides to slow the pace down. Rahman gets the 90's singing queen, Alka Yagnik, to lend her voice to this smooth, soft, lovely composition. I've been hearing a lot of complaints about Alka on this forum. But hey, she's survived throughout the 90's and she is still giving us some great songs till today show a little respect please. She shines in this number. She is not screechy, she isn't over the top. She's just perfect. Javed Ali excells on this track. Ali has a lot of range and Rahman knows it, picks it up and uses it wisely. Finally we get some decent lyrics from Gulzar Saab here. Very impressive track indeed. Mastam Mastam - Rahman starts this track off on a different note. Rahman adds some African tribal sort of arrangements and then blends in some European-Scottish type of beats claps. The only thing annoying are those animal noises in the background. Sonu brings his charisma into this number. He is sauve, witty, clever and smooth. He's the perfect choice for this track. Alka supports him wondefully. You get a glimpse of Rahman's magic towards the end of this composition where he brings in all his arrangements together and amazes you. Nice track indeed. Zindagi - First of all let me say that I am very proud of this track. What brings a smile to my face is that this track will be picturized on my favorite actor Anil Kapoor. This track has Rahman written all over it. The harmonica is brilliantly used. It's a mellow, smooth, hearty song that touches your soul. The show stealer here is Srinivas. Srinivas where have you been??? I hope to see more of this singer because he is just way too talented. This is a stand out number. Rahman slows everything down and let's Srinivas shine like never before. Gripping and touchy track indeed. Dil Ka Rishta - One song that even comes close to any song in Taal is this track. This track proves that Rahman Saab is the best musician we have in India. I don't think even the top producers in North America can compose a track like this. Dil Ka Rishta is a haunting yet very touching track. Gulzar has given lyrics in english and hindi for this track. The track is pure magic from the moment Roopkumar Rathod enters the scene. Sonu's vocals blend in beautifully with Rahman's background score. While Rahman's saregamapa ni sa re sa act lives on. The biggest applause goes out to the background vocalists who do an amazing job on this number. They take this track to a higher

Re: [arr] Just a thought on Rahmans recording quality
IMO One 2 Ka Four Sounds anemic. Unfortunately I think some companies are now dynamically compressing ARR's music. That means lowering the volume of the peaks so that the volume of the whole track can be raised. This is not a good thing. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Ada sounded too compressed.

Jagdeesh Remix culture - delighting or sickening?? Posted by: Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] vrvithur Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:25 am (PDT) http://www.kollywoodtoday.com/news/remix-culture-delighting-or-sickening/ This has been the latest topic in Kollywood and of course controversies to have shot with regarding this issue. Remixing songs: do they really happen to great treat for the present generation or an annoying part for the music lovers who were bound together with yesteryear melodies and got sickened after hearing the remix of same songs. Let's take a glimpse through the origin of remix era in Tamil film industry It all started with Yuvan Shankar Raja when he added additional beats to his father's yesteryear Pop song 'Aasai Nooru Vagai'. This song was done for Vishnuvardhan's debut directorial 'Kurumbu'. Then, came the remix star D.Imman who dominated with all his extravaganzas of gimmicks in adding English raps to the songs. However, the entire globe would agree with the fact that AR Rahman, the music-techno-superstar is the king of remix. Not just the songs, he has his creativity laid on each and every tunes he renders music for. His first one ' Thottal Poo Malarum' was out of blue since it didn't carry the same old tune. But an enchanting tune and mild beats picked the attention. Sooner bloomed the market for remixes where each and every music director in tinsel town started to show their works of remix. There was also some of the funny part where music directors like Mani Sharma had no efforts put on remixing the songs. Well, it was more evident with 'Aae Aattha Aathoramma Vaariya' for Malaikottai. No changes were made for the song other than adding sound beats. Yuvan Shankar Raja and Vishnu Vardhan together shored on a blockbuster remake 'Billa' where couple of songs were remixed. My Name is Billa and Vaitthalaya Pottendi were exactly the same in new version. However, feedbacks were that the songs of original version weren't overbeaten by Yuvan. A.R.Rahman, the remix King came up with an astounding score for Vijay's Azhagiya Tamizh Magan on 'Ponmagal Vandhal'. The song was really an excellent piece of work where the voices were superb and of course the music, mild beats and rap relating to the main songs added more colors to the tune. So over here, we have something for our viewers to decide who is the best music director churning out stupendous remixes?

And I'm sure he would never mix the song as same as released in Meenaxi. It would be different and purely for Tamil listeners. I promise you guys, he will never dissapoint his fans. Apart from it, directors wish may be to extract the tunes from Meenaxi. And Rahman can't help it. He has admit this on the latest cut on the above interview.Baba song was used in Swades was not Rahman's wish it was Ashutosh's. He called Rajini sir and ask for permission. And Rahman made it even better than the original version. Guys its always better reusing his own tunes than copying someone else.

This is getting beyond tolerance..consider ing ARR peeps in here once in a while, this is not going anywhere close to good! Firstly, Allow him to do what he feels right and then lets decide on what should have been done otherwise..let' s trust him enough to give him his creative freedom-has he ever disappointed anyone one of us from Roja?? Till ADA? He has NOT!! Then, lets leave it to him to come back to us with the best.. Secondly, he will re use a tune if he feels he can do justice to it..not make it sound repetitive and also satisfy the criteria of the movie..if all this is true..then why debate?! Thirdly, Meenaxi was a grt album but did not hit the top due to other reasons. This meant a loss to the people who did not hear the tracks..my family has not heard meenaxi infact..now this gives them a chance to hear the forgotten tracks through this movie, hopefully.. Like Vithur said, to many many Tamilians this will be a new and fresh experience (actually, to those who've heard em also!) so they get to enjoy this so much..they will be really looking forward to the album and will recieve it with so much joy..

'Gumsum' (again the same duo) is more like a rework of Sivaji's Vaaji. 'Gulfisha' (Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan) is a typical Sunidhi song, butyou don't need a Rahman for this. 'Maherbaan', sung by the big man himself, is good, but the tune being that of Pray for me brother does irk you. 'Tu mera' (Chitra and Sukhwinder Singh) seems to have been inspired by Varugirai of Anbe Aruyire. 'Hai dardh' (Udit Narayanan) is not a great effort but takes you along thanks to the singer. The pick of the album is 'Ishq ada' (female version by Parul Mishra and the male by Rashid Ali). Rahman proves his talent in blending Sufi and western music. 'Muje milo' (Alka Yagnik and Jayachandran) is inspired by Kannathil Muthamittal, which took off from a R.D.Burman number. Rahman always hides his inspirations by rendering the notes in high pitch, this time it hasn't worked. Thanks to uncertainty over the album's release, these songs have been under covers for four years and so Rahman had every right to use these numbers elsewhere. But ARR fans don't want repetition. Rahman's interest over Devi Sri Prasad's music shows in 'Kabhi Kabhi '(Rashid Ali), a reworking of Apudo Ipudo of Bommarilu. 'Pappu can't dance' (Blaze, Aslam, Tanvi, Anupama, Benny, Tanvi, Darshana, Satish) sure makes your feet move but the tune and instruments aren't fresh. More like a Shankar-Eshan-Loy remix. 'Nazarein milana' (Swetha, Naresh and Satish) has great use of vocals blended with guitar. But the resemblance to Yuhi chala of Swades hampers your interest. 'Tu Bole' (Rahman himself) has a feel of the 1970s jazz but since the same feel and instrument arrangement were used in in Silunu Oru Kadhal and Iruvar, there isn't much new here. 'Kahin To' (Rashid Ali, Vasundhara Das) is definitely the pick of the album. The sadder version of 'Jaane Tu' (Sukhwinder Singh) doesn't bore you mainly due to Sukhwinder. The violin bit is again the heard-before variety, this time from Uyire in Bombay.

Ilayaraja too has done some fantastic acoustic guitar and violin solos. Every composer has used solos in different ways. I particularly like ARR's use of the lower notes in the flute. Sridhar once said in an interview that ARR will sometimes try to get just the breath/wind sound of a flute.

Mayya Mayya and Bidi were composed for two totally different situations . Bidi suited the situation in the film to the T. One would expect a nautanki number to be loud . I don't subscribe to this situation bit. ARR has also composed songs which were loud and were good. (examaple? many, his earlier youth songs, like muqabla) VB has also composed songs which were subdued and contemplative (Machis - Pani Pani re) so both MDs are capable of giving both and all types of songs. As such, Omkara didn't really have a nautanki situation. It was VB who wisely composed a song having nautanki mahaul so the visuals were made in a nautanki situation. NOw, as for as mayya is concerned, it was exactly the similar situaion -- a professional girl dancing to public, in which various MDs have given Jumma Chumma de de which was loud, and Tezab's ek-do-teen-chaar-paanch-chh which was deafeningly loud. and we all know how popular these went to become. But is was probably the first time when such a subdued, almost at a whispering level, song was composed for such a public dance situation. ARR went against the established norms and still came out with a gem, a winner, a piece of art. I was just highlighting that in the same year, two songs composed by ARR and VB show that ARR's creation is miles ahead of VB's creation. I didn't say Bidi was bad song. I did mention that Bidi was a good song and I like that one also a lot. I like VB also, though far-second to ARR. OK, to give credit to VB, let me say that even ARR has never given a song in the genre of VB's Machis - Chhod aaye ham teri galiyaan. That song was complex in the sense that this single song had three songs basically -- a chorus mukdha, then solo stanzas, and then there is a sudden switch to a sad version at Dil Dard Ka Tukda Hai. And the freshness, the spontaneity conveyed by the song, it was just superb and ARR has not given any song like this. -- Back to ARR, which are ARR's song in which there is change of emotions in between? Not two different songs or different versions of same song separately shot in a movie, but a same, single continuous song showing two or more emotions, like VB's above song, say sadness and happiness, or anger and calm, or comedy and seriousness? Frankly, I am not able to come up with any single song of ARR that has switched emotions on-the-fly. To clarify, there was the song from movie Black Mail MD: KalyanJi AnandJi, naina mere rang bhare which starts with a happy note and in the middle switches to sad mode at kajra mera kajra. another one is Sharabi (one of the rare best of Bappi Lahiri) song Intehaa ho gayi intzaar ki which starts with a sad, lost-hope note but when Jayaprada comes it becomes all fun-and-dance at Lo main aa gai.

Thus they have started with the TPPL (T-SERIES public performance license) according to which they will not spare anyone caught blatantly infringing their exclusive copyrights. If a person buys a music cassette or a CD it is meant purely for personal use only.

Re: [arr] ARR Come Back Plea
I don't see why we can't do regional comparisons. ARR is an artist who is very popular and acclaimed in both regions, and there are differences between Hindi and Tamil cinema industries. Both cinemas have their good points and their bad points. I'm not saying ARR's track record in Hindi is perfect either. For a while he was doing a lot of period films. At the very least, these days, Hindi filmmakers are a little more willing to stretch boundaries, even if they don't always succeed. I see the articles and promos for upcoming Tamil films and there's nothing different. Maybe the cinematography and editing are flashier, but the stories are the same. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Kalimuthu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can we avoid doing regional comparison?

Whoever releases the audio it is always the same people working on the mixing and mastering (H. Sridhar, Aditya Modi, KJ Singh, maybe a few others).

Only because of quality and the fact that they are truly voiceless.

I want to be able to put the BGM CD in the stereo, just like how I put in a music CD, and enjoy the music. Sometime the ones with the voice tells us exactly what is going on in the movie... so the focus changes to the movie where I start visualizing it..not paying much attention to the music, rather paying attention to the voice and dialogues. This is why I prefer only truly voiceless BGMs. Unfortunatley, kaissiom doesn't post all of his work. Only if Vithur could start posting truly voiceless BGMs..it would be dream come true.

Lifetime Achievement award recently.
*Recognition: Director K.Balachander being honoured. *
It was a delightful evening for the audience at Kamaraj Arangam
recently,
where director K. Balachander was honoured with the lifetime achievement
award by the Rotary Club of Madras, Mylapore Uptown.
There was not only music from singers Chitra, Mano and Suresh of
Sruthilaya,
and his troupe, but also a speech from poet Vairamuthu felicitating
Balachander.
Twin tribute
*It was also a tribute to A. R. Rahman, whose compositions, such as
'Kadhal
Rojave' (Roja), 'Veerapandi,' 'Putham Pudhu Boomi' ('Thiruda Thirudi'),
'Enge Enathu Kavithai' ('Kandu Kondaen Kandu Kondaen') and 'Anjali
Anjali'
('Duet') were sung.*
Vairamuthu spoke at length about the director. He said that only
Balachander
could have opted for 'Neerkumizhi' as the title of his first film.
Similarly, I generally do not want to watch the visuals of my songs,
as I
feel only three of them have proved visually great. One is 'Ayiram
Thamarai'
( 'Alaigal Oyvadhillai'), 'Uyire' ( 'Bombay') and 'Enna Satham'
('Punnagai
Mannan'). Here too he had the guts to insert a song in a sequence
where two
lovers were going to die. I am grateful to him for giving me work in
three
films ('Vaaname Ellai,' 'Annamalai' and 'Roja') when I was jobless.
I feel
he deserves the Dada Saheb Phalke award and I request the State
Government
to institute an award in his name, he said.

And to work with ARR, RGV will need to come up with a script that can win the producers' trust back. And unless he has that financial backing he will not be able to work with ARR. And let me now get out of my territory and tread some dangerous parts by suggesting that ARR might not want to lower his fees for RGV simply because of the risk that is involved in an RGV project (Proof: Daud).

[arr] Re: Director Vasanth 's experiences with ARR - Part I
Sridhar himself has said in an interview that sometimes ARR will just want the breath of the flute. This was on an old Doordarshan interview with ARR. What was the real extent of ARR's role in IR's troupe? I thought he just played keyboard for a brief time. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, rayrai2k [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was a well known fact that ARR was behind the scene for IR to be known as the first music director to use computer in India. However this claim as IR was the first music director to use also cannot be denied because ARR might have been an arranger for him at that time and IR was his music director. what makes ARR special was the way he filtered the waves to produce unique and new sounds was something very new. For example he would just use the noise component (air bursts through the lips) while Naveen is on his flute. The only higher freq envelope he used in Chinna Chinna Aasai from the flute sound is a food for the brain for any electronic engineer. I think he was and is way ahead of any music directors then to use the electronic gadgets and bring music out of sound.

I met him first during Illayaraja's recording in Prasad Studio of Punnagai Mannan. The computerised song. He was in a standing in a corner with a keyboard , with his head down. We didnt know each other that time. Rahman Sir is little bit younger than me . Then I listened to Chinna Chinna aasai in Mani Sir's Venus Colony , when the intial recording was done. That was at the very initial stages. Then Balachander Sir played the same song to me later. The magic of the song, created an impact in me. Many a times, I have felt many songs to have created impact on me. Oh La La song in Minsara Kanavu was another song which created an impact in me. When I heard it for the first time., I felt as if the song was going on for long time. I didnt like it first time. Then, after hearing the song repetitively, it became my life, and I couldnt stay away from it. Initially, I liked Thanga Thamarai Magale song from the same film, and later got hooked to Ooh La La .

Madhushree and Udit Narayan in any Tamil song. Terrible pronunciation. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal have been good in Tamil. Hariharan- Vaaji Vaaji (Sivaji).

Re: [arr] DTS 5.1 or Dolby?
Dolby Digital has nothing to do with Dolby noise reduction. They're just two different things made by the same company. DD runs at a lower bitrate than DTS, but they use different codecs.

Re: [arr] rahman + small time tamil directors!!
Also he has done the music for Sakkarakatti. I believe the director is a first-timer. The problem is that there really are no strong directors in Tamil cinema of the current generation. No Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, no Ashutosh Gowariker. Nobody with any freshness. Everyone is making the same old action/comedy/romance masala movies or boring old romances. Nothing invigorating. So how, in this climate, is ARR supposed to be inspired to create something brilliant? Even the so-called rustic or realistic films in Tamil cinema these days are the same old stories with similar song situations as well.

As if the Rs 80-crore blockbuster Sivaji â The Boss was not enough, filmdom's money spinning hero has now signed up for India's costliest movie. Pegged at Rs 100 crore, director Shankar's Robot, a science fiction film, will see Rajni replace King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan as hero. London-based Ayngaran International, in which Kishore Lulla-owned Eros International picked up a controlling stake last July, is to produce the film. Robot will be released in five languages for a global audience. This dream project of Shankar was also to be produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment. In fact, last year, the film had been planned featuring filmdom's other cash king Shah Rukh Khan. However, owing to differences between Shankar and SRK on the creative front, as acknowledged by the latter in recent statements, the film was dropped about two months ago. Observers say, given Shankar's penchant for large canvas presentations the cost of production of Robot could even cross the Rs 100-crore mark, setting a new Indian record. Ayngaran and Eros Multimedia will be jointly producing Robot featuring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar. The formal agreements will be signed soon, Ayngaran International CEO Rohan Manickavasagar told ET on Friday from London. Film to be released in five languages Eros and Ayngaran had together distributed Sivaji globally, which is said to have grossed between Rs 150 crore to Rs 170 crore from both the domestic and overseas markets. Robot will be a joint production. The film will take anywhere between 18 to 24 months for completion and will be produced at a cost in excess of Rs 100 crore, Mr Manickavasagar said. The film will be made in Tamil, but will be released in five languages, including Hindi and Telugu, besides a couple of other regional languages. It will also have stars from Bollywood. But these finer details will be finalised in due course, he added. Shankar had originally wanted to do Robot with Kamal Hassan over five years ago for Media Dreams, the now defunct film arm of Chennaibased Pentamedia Graphics. Somewhere down the line, even Hritik Roshan's name came up for serious consideration. But Rajini appears to have swung it yet again. With Rajinikanth becoming a national phenomenon after Sivaji, which also generated interests in international markets, Robot is expected to be marketed in a big way overseas too. Tamil films have a huge market in the UK, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Australia and the Middle-East. - Economic Times 5/1/2008, Chennai Edition - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks and Kudos to our member Prathap who informed the same to me - Sundar

Not to worry, we're talking April 2008. Long wait Perhaps the wait will make the heart grow fonder for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa-Akbar featuring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in the eponymous roles. The film has been so painstakingly shot that its first cut clocked in at five-and-ahalf-hours. Now all efforts are being made to reduced the length to a more endurable three hours. Meanwhile, many of the film's supporting actors who gave months on end of their dates for the shooting schedules are simmering under their breath. More work, less pay Not only were they paid precious little money but had to forego other assignments - all in the hope of getting exposure on the Mughal-sized screen. Yet, there is no denying that sometimes there are unavoidable delays. At present, director Gowariker is confined to bed because of a severe back ailment. He has been advised to rest in bed for two months, or so goes the trade talk. He is not taking phone calls or responding to SMSs. First, the film produced by Gowariker with UTV was scheduled to be released during the Diwali season. It was then shifted to January 15 and then again to February 24.

She was married to Ravi Shankerji then and wasn't interested in mentoring me. In fact, I wanted to train under her father Ustad Allauddin Khan but my own father would not permit me to go to Maihar. So, I started frequenting Ravi Shankerji's house pleading with guruma to take me under her wing. She finally gave in. The condition was that I had to forget everything that I had learnt and start from scratch. What drew you to the movies? Hindi movies were a passion. They gave me an opportunity to experiment with orchestration. Yash Chopra was ready to gamble with Shiv Kumar Sharmaji and me. Starting with Silsila in 1980, we composed for several Yash Raj films including Lamhe, Basera, Parampara and Chandni. Despite a classical base, you've never shied away from innovation. You can experiment with the flute because the sound is so soothing. Surgeons have written to me saying that they listen to my music before an operation to ease their tension and enhance concentration. Lately, I have recorded some alaaps as an aid to meditaion. Finally, let's talk about Vrindaban, your music school. I wanted to revive the gurukul tradition with 10 select students. They would study music, watch fellow musicians perform, attend and give lectures and at the same time learn other subjects too. The objective was to give them an all-round education. Vrindaban is not a school for one-line performers. The training is for only those dedicated to music. Hindustan Times

12 songs?

Yes, I am talking about talented director, Ashutosh Gowariker, UTV CEO and producer, Ronnie Screwvala and A. R. Rahman. They first came together in Shah Rukh Khan starrer *Swades* http://www.utvmotionpictures.com/swades-movie.asp. In an interview with India Times, producer Ronnie Screwvala talked about *Jodhaa Akbar*. [image: Ronnie Screwvala]http://us.indiantelevision.com/interviews/y2k3/executive/rscrewvala.htm Here is an excerpthttp://www.hrithikrules.com/filmography/displayArt.php?fname=akbarjodha/utvronie.txtmovname=akbarjodhaof the interview: *After RDB's official entry at the Oscars and Life in a Metro's roaring international success, what records have you planned to break with Jodhaa Akbar? * *Jodhaa Akbar is a once in a lifetime film. It is an epic love story made especially for the younger generation and is an untold story of Jodhaa and Akbar. The grandeur, the sets, costumes, story, performances, direction... everything is simply spectacular and thus we are quite confident that people will appreciate our efforts. Having said that, Rang De Basanti and Life in a Metro are blockbusters but we haven't set them as the benchmark for Jodhaa Akbar. Jodhaa Akbar is global in its appeal. It's a western film. * *What was your first reaction when Ashutosh approached you for this film? * *He gave me the script; I read it and gave him a call at 3 in the morning to confirm my presence in the project. The film is basically a love story with the backdrop of a war. The film traces the love and life journey of Mughal emperor Akbar and his Rajput Hindu wife Jodhaa. Their life from the age of 13 till they are 28 is what is portrayed on screen. 'Alliance' marriages are common in India and how love evolves between such couple is the story of Jodhaa Akbar. * *How has the chemistry between Hrithik and Ash shaped up? * *Their chemistry is the USP of this film. They don't look Hrithik or Ash but they look Jodhaa and Akbar in the film. * *Considering the film's 'historic' genre, how much research was conducted and how factual is the film? * *Every historical film needs fair amount of research and so was the case of Jodhaa Akbar. The director and story writer have made sure that the film is factually correct.* *Jodhaa Akbar* was supposed to be released this year but at the last moment the decision was made to release it next year. When asked about this change in schedule Ronnie Screwvala said that the movie was huge in terms of editing and they needed time to market the movie. Hence the delay has been made. [image: A.R.Rehman]http://www.behindwoods.com/features/News/News29/10-9-05/hindi-movies-news-arrehman.html On the other hand, Allah Rakha Rahman is very optimistic with the music of *Jodhaa Akbar*. This is the third time Rahman is composing music for Ashutosh Gowariker's movie. The music album of *Jodhaa Akbar* contains 12 songshttp://www.behindwoods.com/features/News/News29/10-9-05/hindi-movies-news-arrehman.html. The Hindu http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/009200710161440.htmreports: *Jodha Akbar* is a romantic story about a king falling in love with a princess and I have tried to keep the music contemporary so that it satisfies both critics and the music lovers, he says. The music of the film is very much what is required for the film. We have celebration songs and quawallis, he adds. Rahman, who composed the music of Subhash Ghei's 'Kisna' is once again paring up with the director in his latest flick, 'Yuvraaj'. According to Filmi Khabarhttp://filmikhabar.com/2007/10/10/jodhaa-akbar-music-to-release-on-november-27/, the music of *Jodhaa Akbar* will be launched on 27th November. On 12thOctober, the theatrical promo was released. Unfortunately, two of the songs were deducted from the movie to keep it within three hours. One of the songs was a qawwali sung by A. R. Rahman. Ashutosh Gowariker first sought Rahman's consent for this deduction. Only to shoot the song, a lavish set was built. Aishwarya wanted to add those songs in her upcoming movies but Ashutosh has decided to add the songs in the DVD version -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE GOD OF MUSIC
[arr] Re: Good article - Rahman songs hard to sing
This article inadvertently hits on something important about ARR's music. Before ARR the idea of film music that we all had was that it was instantly catchy, hummable, etc. Even ARR's music for several years followed this idea. But in recent years he has moved away from that idea and much of his music these days is a slow poison. It takes multiple listenings to grasp hold of the music. Which, if you think about it, is a pretty bold idea. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, rayrai2k [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI, Its not just the Rahman sung songs that are difficult. Most of his songs composed are difficult to match the original when tried to reproduce. I have always blamed why the participants in the reality show choose his songs, first for the very reason that the smal piece of musicians cant reproduce the complex arrangements second the original songs is the end piece of continuous song of discretely sung with multiple harmonies. So its close to be called it was not a good attempt. But above all few real talents have crossed those mile and were able to deliver the best in their attempts. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Chord purevibz@ wrote: I've always asserted that despite how much I enjoy Rahman's music and how much his brilliance is obvious, many of his songs are very difficult to sing and hum.

Very easy on the ears, yet totally Rahmanesque. I have observed how these songs are more popular among the common listeners and are remembered better down the line..easy to sing along, thus, better stored in memory. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vinayakam Murugan mvinayakam@ wrote: http://www.mid-day.com/news/otherheadlines/2007/november/166777.htm Music reality shows have been an evergreen hit of our satellite television channels and despite knowing that their participation is almost certainly meaningless, the television audience still votes vigorously for their favourite singer. It was Antakshari in the beginning, then came SaReGaMa, Indian Idol, Fame Gurukul and God knows what. These shows very rarely produce a true winner and the jury is out on whether or not they were rigged. I am not going to comment on the process that selects the victor. Instead, I want to write about my observation about recent trends in music. I don't know if you've noticed, but new songs are too tough to sing if you are an amateur, singer. You can't enjoy singing them, as you will always stumble upon a difficult piece somewhere through the line. Take any composer he will try and compose a song in a high pitch. Can you sing Himesbhai's songs? His beats are fabulous (may be the credit should go to Akbar Sami who does his remixes). But, can you match his nasal pitch? Sukhvinder Singh was awesome in Chak De! India, but will you be able to keep pace with him as he reaches out for sky in song after song? A R Rahman had once famously said he wanted to bring in fresh untrained voices and had kept his word till he got attracted to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his style. After that, Rahman changed wonderfully (I think his transition came with Taal) and what was so electronic sound, changed refreshingly to something more Indianised. However, he also started composing some really difficult tunes. This is not to say that these people are not doing some great work. Rahman in particular has a divine voice and is a joy to watch as well as listen as he transcends into another world while conducting and singing. Sukhvinder, unlike his Punjabi cousin Daler, is so soothing in certain Rahman compositions. Himesbhai is probably at the peak of his career, whether I like it or not. But the point is, can you, for personal joy, sing their songs? Can you hum them? One of the greatest composers Madan Mohan (my favourite along with RD), hardly ever kept his songs simple. He always tweaked his antaras. He achieved critical acclaim, but had to strive to win spots in Binaca Geetmala, the hallmark of popularity in the sixties. Taj Mahal remains his most popular work, while his best songs were compiled by T Series in the late nineties (sung by Anuradha Paudwal). He was one of the most melodious of the composers, and probably believed that his songs were best heard, not rendered by his audience. Maybe, the new age composers think the same. -- Warm Regards ~~~ Vinayak http://theregoesanotherday.blogspot.com/ Don't

Because, if it is then it's great to know that Rahman is tapping in the talent emerging from these competitions. I would love to see Rahman give opportunity to Mauli, Sumedha or Amanat from SRGMP C2007. 2. Re: Sivaji(Hindi) - Does anybody know who is doing the lyrics in Hindi? I seriously hope they rope in Javed Akthar sahab or Prasoon Joshi for lyrics. A lot of dubbed albums have suffered the fate of bad lyrics when translated. p.s. I have been hooked on ATM. The album keeps growing on me, all songs hold their own. Whoever has done the Remix of Ponmagal, has done a great job. But the tortoise of the album, which has slowly and steadily won the race of winning my heart is Kelamal Kaiyile. I didn't like this song in the beginning, I thought it was average, but wow, it was just my brain trying to understand what is going on in that song. It has some serious experimentation - with tamil song and subtle techo/trans beats. Only Rahman can think, create and deliver something like that. People talk about expectations from Rahman albums, having too high expectations etc.. Honestly I do not have any expectations of Rahman. I'm a devotee of Rahman, and take whatever he has to offer, as a boon. All that is good and successful comes from God, all that is bad and failure is because of myself - Rahman himself (I can't remember the exact phrase but it was to the same effect.) Always, Proud to be a Rahmaniac.
Re: [arr] ARR music + Bose Headphones...
Bose products are generally overpriced for the quality. Audiophiles avoid them and consider them to be more marketing than quality. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, RAMESH b.j KRISHNAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can you please tell me how much it is? balaji ramalingam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, Want to feel the true quality music of our boss?...listen the songs in Bose QC2 Headphones...His music speaks We can hear lots of hidden sounds in his songs...

I have been listening to arr since roja but I havent changed one bit (in terms of dissecting his music). where as you guys have become experts and very knowledgable. Maybe thats the curse or disadvantage of knowing these stuffs. In my opinion an innocent listener and a non tamilian will enjoy arr's tamil tracks better :) Gomzy On 10/25/07, Mahesh Ravi maheshravi1980@ wrote: I believe its a bit early to review a rahman album this soon based on a few listenings...and i am sure that the album will make it to the 'rahmania' list. BUT, [not that big 'but',still..] , i am wondering why i am missing the rahman magic in this album;unlike those crystal in his previous works..i am a diehard fan of rahman since 1991 and till this moment,i havent been disappointed once..Being a fan,I can say one thing, this is not what i expect from rahman.. Most of the Bottom layer rythms percs are directly taken from Apple Loops [not even processed]. 'Kelamal' song is a good song,,but resembles a lot of the Anjaaanaa,,,anjaaani' song from Yuva...ANd the 'marlyn monroe' song.. i dont want to believe it came from rahmanji...With some absurd sub-standard lyrics [eg: saturday night partykku pokalaam variya[that to,in loop! horrible]..Valayappatti is worth listening..naresh is good...music is purely rahmanic..i love this song... As i said, its early to review ATM,,so i am gonna shutup and listen to it a couple of times and i am sure i will be able to come up with a smile... thanks guysRAHMAN RULES | Mahesh Ravi | www.paperbird.co.nr -- Seek the Divine in you...Arise!
