[brijesh.anantharam]

Gopal, I am sorry you cannot publish these kind of cheap reviews. He
doesnot even show respect to the tracks eg: for dil ka ristha, he says
skip the next track without any mention of it
There should be some authenticity to the reviews even if it is negative!!!

Re: [arr] Before critizising ARR read it guys....

[brijesh.anantharam]

Rightly said Abdul

I cannot tolerate anything against Rahman now, especially against
YUVVRAAJ. So Gopal/Vijay Iyer, this is too much of criticsm against
Rahman, the guy is giving his life to music and these guys (so called
fans) are giving opinion as if they are PUNDITS...they do not
understand the concept of being fan of RAHMAN.

I do not mind if there are just 100 HARDCORE fans for Rahman group

[arr] Icing on the cake for 2008

[brijesh.anantharam]

Champions League T20 video + Slumdog soundtrack - What a way to end
the year. I think this will go down as one of the greatest year for ARR.

Please donot presurise this guy anymore...He has given us more than we
asked, for almost two decades. 

[arr] Hans Zimmer / ARR

[brijesh.anantharam]

Guys, I thought Dark Knight soundtrack had a good chance to win oscar
this year, but there has been some rumours that it has been
disqualified for nomination for technical reasons. Anyways the point
is, I am certain Hans Zimmer will be shocked after listening to SdM
soundtrack I hope he gets to hear SdM.

Re: [ARR] For an Indian , SDM is ordinary.

[brijesh.anantharam]

Guys, moving further, I thought Mumbai was amazingly captured by
Anthony Dod Mantle with 3 different kinds of camera(including a SLR) I
hope ARR and Mantle get the nod for oscar nominations.

About BGM, Rahman has tweaked a lot especially on O saya and Mausam
and escape which actually sounds amazing, different from the
soundtrack on CD. Now I want the rip of DVD version when it gets released

[arr] Re: Slumdog Millionaire on Wednesday, November 19th

The fact that we came to know about this movie after its release in
various festivals and no mention of this movie in the ARRs website
during production means no audio release. This is entirely my opinion.

Re: [arr] After hearing a bit of the first Yuvraaj song.....

[brijesh.anantharam]

Well Gopal, let them say whateverthis is because ARR is very
unpredictable, as to what to expect and doesnot make run of the mill
stuff. They are also die hard ARR fans and therefore very nervous
before each release!!

Chill out mate, you are on about too much technical stuff and you are
simply missing the point. Moreover, hell bent on your opinion, atleast
respect what academy (a vote from musicians) had to say today.

BFCA, Golden Globes & BAFTA, the Oscar nominations are decided based
on votes from members in the related categories. So only the members
of the music branch in AMPAS can decide the nominations for music
categories.
