Here the lists goes:
(1) Vande Mataram (1997) - songs that talks about peace, freedom and

(2) Jana Gana Mana (2000) - songs by eminent vocalists and

(6) Taj Mahal Ek Mohabhat (2007) - Theme song on love for world list

Each song leaves deep impact on the people who listen to these song.
  I am
sure after listening to these songs everyone will see a small change
(unknowingly) in their attitude towards other religion, other
  language or
other art form.
   
These days, I get lots of goose bumps when listening to Tamil
  Semmozhi
theme song. Especially when the song switches from one type of music
  genre
to another music type. For example (1) When P.Susela mam starts
  humming (2)
When ARR sings Semmozhiana (3) When Blaaze starts his folk+rap
  part of the
song (4) When T.M.Krishna starts his carnatic portion by singing
  agam
endrum puram endrum (5) When Shruthi Hassan starts the modern
  version of
Semmozhi (her voice and humming in this song was truly superb).  I
  can

[arr] Rediff reviews VTV

2010-02-26 Thread catchgops
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is a must watch
February 26, 2010 17:50 IST

Love stories have always ruled the roost in Tamil cinema. But Red Giant Movies' 
and Escape Artists Motion Picture and R S Infotainment's Vinnaithaandi 
Varuvaaya (Will You Cross The Skies For Me) puts a new spin to the age old 
romantic tale.

Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film is possibly one of 2010's most 
anticipated movies.

The best part about VTV is that it revolves around people, rather than events. 
It's like putting a camera into the intimate, everyday life of two people and 
following them on their adventures. The characters go through a whirlwind of 
emotions, laugh and cry, and take you along with them. 

So you have Karthik (Silambarasan aka Simbhu), a mechanical engineering student 
just out of college, who cherishes the hope of becoming a filmmaker. His father 
(Kitty) is not convinced but Karthik is very persuasive. Eventually, he becomes 
an assistant director to K S Ravikumar (who makes the best of the few minutes 
he's allowed and has a blast). He's always around cameraman Ganesh (Ganesh) -- 
the two hunt for locations, share philosophies about life and become best 
friends, despite an age difference.

Then Karthik's life turns upside down. Jessie (Trisha Krishnan [ Images ]) 
passes him by on the street -- and he's instantly smitten (here's where you 
have the delightful Hosanna, sung with enthusiasm). She's dressed simply, 
invariably in cotton saris or salwar kameezes, smiles politely, and never seems 
to even recognise him as she goes to her job at Polaris [ Get Quote ]. But 
everything she does excites him. He starts following her everywhere, eats where 
she eats, drinks what she drinks and in one sudden, completely un-looked for 
moment, confesses that he's 'crazy about her.'

Jessie, however, is more shocked than impressed. What follows is her 
background: Malayali Christians from Alappuzha, her family will never consent 
to this. Jessie is firm, polite, but Karthik is reckless. He believes her heart 
tells a different story. He pursues her in earnest, only to be rebuffed even 
more, every time. They make a tentative arrangement to be 'just friends' -- but 
a train journey shows them that that can't happen.

Finally, Jessie tells him flatly that she's going to get married, and nothing 
can stop the wedding. Life turns upside down for Karthik once again. 

This isn't exactly a story about a boy who falls hopelessly in love -- it's 
more about Jessie. His intentions and actions are simple: he's crazily in love 
with her, and has no idea why he fell in love with her. Jessie, on the other 
hand, is a marvelously complex character. You never know what her real feelings 
towards Karthik are until she talks to him; can't guess her motivations or her 
decisions because she herself doesn't know them. 

She wants romance but not without her father's consent, who would rather die 
than see his daughter married to a Hindu. Jessie maddens Karthik, tossing him 
like a cork on sea-waves and in the process, draws you in. 

As far as acting goes -- kudos to the director for the perfect casting. Simbhu 
finally learns to downplay things, and is a joy to watch, especially when he's 
in the throes of getting Jessie to love him. He's cautious, optimistic, blindly 
happy one moment and yet puzzled by her the next. His reaction to her every 
move is priceless; he does more with his body language than with dialogues. 

Trisha is a revelation. Shorn of her filmi make-up, she dazzles in Nalini 
Sriram's simple costumes. She transforms herself into a complicated person who 
wants something but can't bring herself to accept it. The hurt in her eyes when 
she asks Simbhu if he's 'moved on' is perfect. The two try to outdo each other 
in every scene, and the chemistry between them is palpable. And Gautam Menon 
has given full reign to it. 

Ganesh does a perfect job. Babu Anthony, Kitty and Uma Padmanabhan are 
believable, but this movie is so completely woven around the lead cast that the 
rest barely figure in it. 

Credit for their perfect portrayal, of course, goes to Gautam Menon. This is 
one director who's got the pulse of today's urban youth perfectly. Almost every 
one-liner in the first half earns applause. Despite being the usual love story, 
the plot twists and turns are admirable. There's logic and rationale in plenty. 

On the minus side, VTV suffers from the same defect as Vaaranam Aayiram: the 
second half lags in pace. The dialogues and confrontations are repetitive. 
There's a would-be love-track that seems unnecessary before the story takes off 
again. 

A R Rahman's [ Images ] soundtrack is very romantic; the background score fits 
in and Aaromalae is a delight. But some of the songs in the second half don't 
fit. 

Manoj Paramahamsa's camerawork is sizzling. One moment, the tone is deep, 
soothing and romantic; at others, harsh and in-your-face. Antony's editing is 
sleek. Rajeevan's art-work is perfect.

 I think Rahman Offkey  is certainly a loose statement and not worth to 
 respond, but since ARR is my Guru, I am doing so,

 The songs sung by ARR are those also composed by him so he has every right to 
 perform them in whatever way / remix them / change the tone in any way he 
 wants. Audience comes to see him performing and not to check if all his tones 
 are true to the CD. And let ARR decide how he wants to sing his own songs.

 If ARR wanted to add any additional lyrics / miss out on some / change the 
 tone / tune during concert, it is his song / creation and he has full right 
 to do so.

 So please refrain from making such statements which none of us are qualified 
 to make.

 It's sad that all the technology used in creating the song finally ends up

 quality as well as mp3 quality? I still beleive if we take steps from now,
 we can stop this happening for future audio releases...In one interview,
 during the pen drive release of blue, AR was talking about distributing high

  You got one part of the answer right, not the other part. The reason is
  definitely financial but it's financial feasibility and not financial
  challenges. The age of the CD is over. A market like India was never even
  there. The advent of unrestrained mp3 sharing on the internet and the rise
  of the CD as a medium coincided in India.
 
  Let me give you a statistic, shocking but true. How many CDs of Slumdog
  Millionaire do you think T-Series sold in India? All of 60,000. And T-Series
  printed Over 500,000 copies. For all the chest beating that we do on forums
  like this, the reality of the day is that nobody pays for music anymore. Who
  in his right mind would want to invest in manufacturing and distributing CDs
  upfront in such a market scenario? How many CDs of the Telugu dubbed version
  of a massive flop do you think will sell? 1000? Can you blame T-Series for
  not releasing the CD? Music labels make money only off mobile ringtones and
  ringback tones and TV and FM licensing in today's world. Whatever CDs they
  do release is purely promotional expenditure, it generates paltry, if any,
  income for them.
 
  There is minimal upfront cost in distributing mp3s through the likes of
  Amazon. That is the route any sensible business would take. I would be
  thankful that T-Series is at least progressive enough to provide us with
  that option rather than not release anything at all.

After winning two Oscars on the same night, Rahman has now won the 'Grassroot 
Grammy' award held in the US. 

The composer bagged the top prize for the soundtrack in the Tamil film 
`Godfather' in the 'Best Indian album' category at the 'Just Plain Folks 2009 
Music Awards' held recently. 

Among the other artists nominated in the same category were Bangla band 
'Krosswindz' and south composer Ilayaraja. 

Rahman's composition 'Innisai' (Radio Mix) from `Godfather' also won the third 
place in the 'Best Indian Song' category while his 'Illamai' was fifth. 

Ilyaraja's Music Journey: Live in Italy was third in the 'Best Indian album' 
category. In 'Indian Classical and Traditional Album' category Shweta Jhaveri's 
Avishkar clinched the first position. 

The 'Just Plain Folks 2009 Music Awards' is aimed at supporting grassroot 
songwriters and musicians through networking, education and promotional 
support. The awards received responses from over 163 countries. It has over 
50,000 members worldwide.

everyone worked up.

Re: [arr] Re: Seeking your ideas for ARR

Thanks for all those who responded, every bit helps. I apologize for not being able to respond personally to everyone. If there are more ideas, keep them coming.Thanks,Gopal."We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the nation."

Kennedy- Original Message From: anuja [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.comSent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 10:06:27 PMSubject: [arr] Re: Seeking your ideas for ARRwow!!:) this really is something dreamy, inspite of gopal's warnings  to not get all excited.  We should do something really different and try out what has not  been ever done before! Having said that, here are ideas that Im sure  have been tried before, and many times:) : - Premier theatres (multiplexes) can be selected for publicity  through movie beginning spots (trailers) --- a prelude to ARR.  - Radio jingles advertising his music. - Short movies, documentary kinds about his music, musical history,  future, scope, influences, well that kind of thing, his interviews.  I would love to buy something like that!  - A website with his complete musical reportaire, giving the option  to select music and create our own album and buy it. i think hmv has  a feature like that. - cassettes with booklets offering more information than just lyrics  and summary of all people involved. u know, each cassette/cd can be  used to advertise more cassettes/cds. (especially new stuff, or rare  stuff or stuff that rahman would like ppl to listen) - pricing moderate, naturally, but for some special releases should  not refrain from charging big. like a special photographs coffee  table book. - possibly tie up with some coffee shops, or cool places(!!!), for  some information kiosk, which can be used to promote rahman's music,  etc. especially so, some days before the release of anything. - probably print rahman's music's musical sheet notations, for  musicians to read and recreate.  - find a way to sell rahman's tamil music north of south india!!!   hope this helps:) enjoyed thinking about this   --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:   Dear Fellow ARR Fans,I am excited to share with you an opportunity to make a meaningful  contribution to ARR and his  music.Some very close associates of ARR are on the verge of launching a  music label exclusively for  ARR's music.

The objective of the  people behind this venture is  to provide ARR's music the visibility and reach it deserves and  hope to bring to us fans the  music of unreleased films, background music, singles, concerts and  exclusive promotional  material.The role that we can play here is to come up with constructive  ideas on how such a venture can  be shaped in terms of1.
