[arr] Raavan Rocks !!

[edwardian10]

It truely does. All the six songs. Add to it the ARR song "Jaa Re" and you have 
one classy album in your hands. Certainly one of ARR's topnotch albums. 
Fantastic job ARR!!

[arr] Re: More thoughts on Raavan's music..........shortest ARR album ever?

[edwardian10]

Infact the total play time for the six songs is 29 min and 30 odd seconds.

I started in 1999-2000. Then went off after a few months (as at that time I

That may not be true as the list is in alphabetical order. However, he is 
certainly among the top 20 or so. Ways to go foward though!!

[arr] Latoo!! Great song with excellent lyrics

[edwardian10]

Hi all,

Latoo is not only a great song but the lyrics are excellent. I may 
write them some other time but are actually very poetic. For example 
the opening lines which goes like PALAK KYON PARKAY RAY, DIL MERA 
DARKAY RAY  
It beautifully explains how a girl is waiting for her lover and she 
doesn't know why she is anxious and restless and finally she realizes 
its because her sweet heart is coming :P I am sure the electrifying 
dance sequences and great picturization is going to make this one of 
the biggest hits, if not the biggest one, of the year. It's a straight 
forward dance number but with great lyrics. No BS.

Excellent job once again by Prasoon Joshi. He never disappoints so far.
Well as for the song, and the album. ROCKS BIG TIME. Guys look at the 
promo of BARKAY song. No one could have used ARRahman's music better. I 
mean the whole AAMIR KHAN sequence with his dancing is crazy stuff. I 
am going to watch this movie at least 3 times i am pretty sure.

Take care every body.

[arr] Re: [Non-ARR] - Music Recco - Tabeer

[edwardian10]

Hello my friend,

What a great recommendation. Each number is a gem.

Just to give you a little info, the singer Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan 
was the vocalist of the famous Pakistani Eastern Classical/Rock band 
called "Fuzon", before it split. He belongs to a famous Classical 
music family in Pakistan. His most famous work in India has been the 
song MITWA for Shahrukh Khan starrer Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, besides a 
few more good songs. In one of his interviews almost an year back, 
the band said that they had worked with ARR on a couple of songs. 
That would be a real treat.

Thanks.

[arr] Video: Why A.R.Rahman likes working with new singers ?

http://indiafm.com/broadband/video/Interviews/cLlPpL45/3/A-R-Rahman-

[arr] Rahman's Love !!

[edwardian10]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/entertainment/story/2008/05/080526_bollywood_d
iary_awa.shtml

Translation (from BBC Urdu website):

At the completion of the shooting of Aamir Khan's newphew's 
film "JTYJN", A.R.Rahman took Aamir with him to Chennai. Throughout the 
journey, Aamir asked Rahman but he didn't answer where they were going. 
After travelling by car for 5 hours, they reached the tomb of Amin Pir.

Rahman's love for sufis is known to the entire world. That day was the 
URAS of Amin Pir. When mehfil-i-sama (Qawalis etc) started, both Rahman 
and Aamir were swaying from 1 am till 5 am. There can hardly be a 
better example found of such a beautiful blend of love and music.


THanks.

[arr] RACE song resembles Spirit of Rangeela

Hi all,

I feel some resemblance between Race title song, the part where they 
sing "ALLAH DOHAI HAI" with the start part of the Spirit of Rangeela.

Any comments?

Thanks.

[arr] ARR in Farah Khan's NEXT ??

[edwardian10]

 According to a Pakistani Urdu newspaper, which took a phone interview 
from the singer Amanat Ali of SAREGAMA fame, the singer informed them 
that he was signed by Farah Khan for her next film, in which he would 
be singing 4 songs and the music is by A.R.RAhman. The cast of the 
film is in the process of being finalized these days. He also said 
that he is currently in India and is working on his private album.

Personally, I feel the music of Om Shanti Om was pretty good and Farah 
Khan shouldnt be really too much tempted to rope in ARR but then 
everybody knows ARR is the best and someone like Farah Khan shouldn't 
look for anything less than the best.

I would personally like ARR to compose for her film as her films are 
all out entertainment and would be good to see ARR's music for such a 
movie.

Thanks for reading.

A.R.Rahman in a Lollywood flick

Who doesn't know the famous composer A.R. Rahman? Yes, he is the one 
who rendered music for the best of Bollywood movies. Whether the film 
makes business or not, his songs are sure to create waves all over 
the world. Nah! We don't intend to bore you with stuff that you 
already know. Our actor/producer Humayun Saeed has hooked A.R. Rahman 
for his upcoming movie. The title of the film is still under 
consideration but the musical score is all set to fit in the movie. 
Great news for all the music lovers who want to see the Lollywood 
music flourish just as the pop music. Humayun Saeed has recently 
returned from Norway after selecting the locations of shooting and 
plans to finalise the cast soon. After the turnover of Khuda Ke Liye, 
Humayun Saeed is very optimistic about his movie and he ensures that 
his movie will compel a lot of people to take their families to the 
theatres. It's time to revive the culture of cinema in our country. 
Nice thoughts Humayun!

Take care.

[arr] Re: A R Rahman credited for Shakalaka Baby - Chinese

[edwardian10]

Hi Gops,

So the groups has JUST achieved a breakthrough. So A.R.Rahman will be 
credited each time the video is played or the song from this album is 
mentioned. Great. ARR can be proud of the group :)

However, I still won't buy the argument that Universal Music had 
originally intended to credit ARR. I say this because they never 
sought ARR's permission to begin with and that's why he and his legal 
advisors were informed only by this group. ARR reserved the right to 
say NO. However, they have gone ahead, recorded the song, made the 
video, played it many times and NOW at the end they are saying they 
would give credit to ARR. What would they do if ARR says NO THANK YOU 
i cant permit you to use my tune which I am sure ARR would never do. 
Just wondering.

Thanks Gops anyways for breaking the good news. Since I wrote the 
second email in resopnse, saying it was International piracy since 
the song was also included in ALW's Bombay Dreams cd, I hope my email 
was one of those forwarded to A.R.Rahman. Just tell him edwardian 10 
means Jawad Babar :P

Thanks,
Jawad.

Thanks alot for the article Amit. I remeber giving the link in April 
here on these forums but couldnt translate due to lack of time.

A feedback:

In Away from the Material World, its the writer who said that 
whenever the plane takes off, I think its my last journey and 
ARRahman smilingly agreed saying my thoughts are quite similar to 
yours.


Excellent effort. I would write about the rest of the article later.

[arr] Ghajini's remake songs by ARR (According to Aamir Khan)

[edwardian10]

Hello, hello, hello. Took a few days to recover from my sessions with 
A.R. He works through the night so I'm still jet lagging. By the way 
the work went really well and I'm really liking how the songs are 
turning out.

[arr] Re: Akbar-Jodha, a Sneak Preview.................

[edwardian10]

"Gowarikar has also signed his infamous partner in music, A.R. Rahman 
(with lyricist Javed Akhtar)"

Is the writer crazy or what. He probably doesn't know the meaning or 
correct use of INFAMOUS. Infamous means notorious, i.e., famous but 
not for good reasons.


Anyways, looking forward to the soundtrack

between the Mughal Emperor Akbar and a Rajput princess Jodhaa. The 
princess is originally used as a political pawn in a marriage to gain 
the allegiance of the Rajputs, and initially feels no love for the 
Akbar, but rather holds a fiery resentment in her heart. Akbar may 
have been able to win an empire that stretched from the Hindu Kush, 
to Afghanistan, to the Himalayas to the Godavari River, but will he 
be able to conquer his queen's heart?   Hindi films have tried period 
pieces to varying effects. In recent memory one can remember the 
debacle of J.P. Dutta's "Umrao Jaan" (starring Abhishek Bachchan and 
Aishwarya Rai) and Santosh Sivan's under-rated flawed yet 
beautiful "Asoka" (starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor). If 
there is one director that can perhaps provide Bollywood fans with a 
true classic movie going experience, it is Ashutosh Gowarikar.  
For his latest, he has signed the hot couple

set the screen on fire with their chemistry and the outlawed kiss 
from that blockbuster. If there ever were an actor that could convey 
the intensity of Emperor Akbar it is Hrithik Roshan. Who could 
possibly steal the Emperor's heart? None other than Aishwarya Rai 
could portray the intensity, anger and passion of Empress Jodhaa. 
Here's hoping that the chemistry they shared in "Dhoom 2" is amp'd up 
in the capable hands of a director the caliber of Gowarikar.  In 
addition to signing the hottest lead pair, Gowarikar has also signed 
his infamous partner in music, A.R. Rahman (with lyricist Javed 
Akhtar). The musical score for "Lagaan" is considered to be a classic 
and will stand up to the test of time. The soundtrack to "Swades" 
didn't live up to expectations, but nonetheless contained some 
memorable tunes that matched the mood of that movie. Here's hoping 
that maestro Rahman will provide us with one of the
>  best soundtracks of 2007. Already the anticipation is building for 
the qawwali number, titled, "Khwaja Mere Khwaja" which will feature 
the smooth vocals of Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik.  Backed by a 
solid producer like Ronnie Screwvalla, Ashutosh Gowarikar looks set 
to wow audiences with his latest release. He's spared no expense in 
making sure that the film is historically correct, from hiring 
scholars, to herds of animals, to detailed costumes, to intense 
performances the movie promises to be one that will leave Bollywood 
fans worldwide breathless and caught up in the eternally classic love 
story of "Jodhaa-Akbar".

[edwardian10]

Oh come on guys. Pls. Aamir khan is a professional. If he is 
replacing the MD of a film, he would never say he was bad or such 
thing. The fact is that he says that he liked the songs and BGM etc 
of the tamil version but when it matters most, he turn to his 
favourtie MD and we all know who that is. 
 Infact I hope you guys remember the headline AAMIR BOWLED OVER BY 
RAHMAN, when he recently went to chennai for shooting and heard 
Sivaji's songs, he was amazed.

 So dont make a matter of it, Aamir Khan is a professiona and he is 
expected to be polite to everyone.

Take care.

Yes because he said in an Interview that he is learning URDU so that

[arr] Re: Baron of the Baton

[edwardian10]

Wearing black and a Zen attitude, he smiles and says, "It is Rahman 
with an 'a', not an 'e'. Or else it will never reach me", as he 
patiently repeats his e-mail id to fans.

 This guys is so obsessed with RHYTHM that he cares about it even in 
the spelling of his name. I mean, RAHMAN is one of the 99 beautiful 
names of God Almighty and spelling it REHMAN woulnd't make it any 
different in it's meaning or character. 
 But when it comes to ARRahman, the fact that RAHMAN looks more 
rhythmic and symmetrical than REHMAN, he prefers RAHMAN :P LOLZ
 (I noticed it because i prefer to do the same. I always write him as 
Rahman , just like i prefer my name as JAWAD and not Javad or Jawed 
which some people might right it as).

 Just an interesting point i thought.

Take care.

[arr] Re: Interesting about Ey Hairathe

[edwardian10]

And mind you this is not the first time ARR- Gulzar have been 
inspired by Sufi poets. Their classic CHAYYA CHAYYA, was based on 
Bulleh Shah's THAYYA THAYYA. (The orginal lyrics featured in the 
soundtrack of DIL SE as a remix of chayya chayya, called THAYYA 
THAYYA, again sung by Sukhwinder).
Only a great poet like Gulzar and a great musician like ARRahman can 
do justice with the work of such legendary sufi poets.
Take care,

[arr] Re: A blogger on the flute sample in Mayya

[edwardian10]

-HI guys,
 I was going to mention the same thing, although with a different 
reference. This flute piece was also used in Pakistani pop legend 
Junaid Jamshed's song KAHO NA, from his last album DIL KI BAAT, 
released in year 2002, composed by musician and director Shoaib 
Mansoor. I am sure this is not a copy and probably a smaple. Even, if 
its an inspiration, its very aesthetically done.
 Similary Shoaib Mansoor used a small musical piece, in his legendary 
song SUPREME ISHQ, which is similar to the starting vocal of HELLO 
DOCTOR. Now, im convinced that was a programme too.
 Anyways, its too minor a thing. Just got curious and thought should 
share with you guys.
 GURU is mindblowing. Its going to be a big hit.
Take care,
Jawad

NEWS ITEM 1: (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
The overproduction of Bollywood "Silvaji" begins its running in 
Bilbao The exteriors of the Guggenheim have been the place chosen for 
the first day of recording AGENCIES/BILBAO The actress India Shrya 
Saran incarnates to the heroin of the new overproduction. /Efe 
ImprimirEnviar Bollywood arrives at the Guggenheim Publicity 

Emblematic places of the city-planning regeneration of Bilbao of the 
last decades, like the Guggenheim Museum and the Palace of Euskalduna 
Congresses, have welcomed today and they will make in the next days 
the running of an overproduction of the India factory of the cinema, 
Bollywood. The tape, produced by AVM, one of the leaders of the 
cinematographic production in India for 60 years, has been 
titled "Sivaji" and is carried out by Rajinikanth actor, a superstar 
of Bollywodd and the Asian continent, with more than 150 
largometrajes in its race, and the model and Shyra dancer Saran. 
Directed by reputed Indian director Shankar, the running in natural 
scenes of the Guggenheim and the Euskalduna it counts on the 
participation of 30 originating dancers of London and 40 displaced 
technicians "specifically" from India. The plot of the film counts

points of Bilbao and other cities. First act of the Indian cinema The

overproduction filled of typical and exotic the colorful one of

[arr] Re: London Dreams to have 7-8 songs

[edwardian10]

Thanks gops for the artics.
 Just as my observation over the years, whenever ARRahman composes 6 or 
more songs for a sound track, or when a sound track includes a theme 
music of BGM, its a mega hit.
 Examples include Roja, Bombay, Rangeela, Taal, Dil Se, Lagaan, Range 
de Basanti and so on.
 And the prospect of a Rock album from the man is really exciting. 
Can't wait for that one.
Take care everybody.

[arr] Re: [Possibly-ARR] Aamir confirms team-up with Mani Ratnam

[edwardian10]

Now thats what i call a NEWS. :P
The one movie with Mani Ratnam is the non stop comedy, and it has 
music by ARR.
 The second one the Ghanji remake, even that posssibly has ARRahman 
doing the music as previously  mentioned quite a few times but not 
confirmed yet.
That is great news.
I just have one wish that the songs of Maniratnam movie, although it 
would be an all out comedy, should have serious lyrics and only 
picturized funny (like say Andaz apna apna songs).That would be 
something great. And no need to say i want GULZAR for lyrics.
 just imagine ARR-Maniratnam-Aamir khan- Gulzar
What a soundtrack that would be.
Take care and enjoy.

[arr] Re: RDB soon to be amongst Top 3 grossers of the decade(WRONG Its Already 3rd)

[edwardian10]

Hello buddy,
Plz go to the following site.
http://boxofficeindia.com/00-09.htm
It says Gadar has NET GROSS of 70 crore,K3G has 49 crores and No 
entry has 44.8 crores business. (the figures given in India glitz 
news are ADJUSTED NET GROSS) 
RDB has already grossed 44.2 crores, and it can topple even K3G for 
the second place in 2 to 3 weeks. (In terms of adjusted gross, RDB is 
supposed to do even better, keeping in mind the super hit business it 
has done in USA,UK and other countries, plus the DVDs etc) so i 
expect RDB to be in all time top 5.
Take care.

[arr] Re: A Look Inside the Mind and Soul of Composer A.R. Rahman - India West

[edwardian10]

Hello Gomzy,
 Yes its true. The song Chayya Chayya is inspiration from Bulleh 
Shah's Thayya Thayya (sung by sufi singer Abdia Parvin from 
Pakistan), and Gulzar Sahib based his lyrics on sufi poetry from 
Bulleh Shah, but since the influence is very obvious, both Gulzar 
Sahib and ARRahman never felt shy in saying it was based on Bulleh 
Shah's work.
 Now if you are still having any doubts, the song THAYYA THAYYA (and 
not Chayya Chayya) on Dil Se album, again sung by Sukvindar Singh is 
Bulleh Shah's kalam (or peotry). These are the original lyrics which 
were previously sung by Abida Parvin. These ones are not by GUlzar 
Sahib, but although ARRahman changed the music a bit, the basic  
meldoy remains the same.
 Just like ghazals, the sufi peotry is also something which is ,and 
can be, sung by many people, coz its to do with arts and culture, 
unlike film songs, which are written for a particular film. If you 
remeber, BULLEYA KI JANA MAIN KON, a chart buster from Pakistani Rong 
band Junoon, was re-done by a SIKH singer and apparently he was 
topping charts with it as well.
 So nothing really to worry about, but the news however, is true.
Take care.
Jawad.

[arr] Re: Vishal from Vishal-Shekhar on A R Rahman

[edwardian10]

Come on guys,
 Dont make them heros for that now.
 They are the same guys who after (the less success of)The Rising for 
ARRahman and with their own hit soundtracks such as Kaal etc said, 
ALTHOUGH WE LIKED ARRAHMAN INITIALLY, HE IS VERY MONOTONOUS NOW".

Now that ARRahman has given superhit such as Rang De Basanti, and they 
have a few flops such as home delivery etc, they are saying THEY DREAM 
TO DO WHAT ARRAHMAN IS DOING.
 
Very typical of ppl in showbiz who keep changing their statments. You 
see the difference even here(personality not music). ARRahman is an 
exceptional person (and ofcourse musicican)

Take care,
Jawad.

[arr] Aamir to act in remake of hit Tamil film !!!!

[edwardian10]

http://www.bollywoodworld.com/news/bwnews.php?
subaction=showfull&id=1140167558&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&

Courtesy: Mid-Day 

 
 
Aamir Khan with wife Kiran Rao at the Rang De Basanti premiere at 
Cinemax, Versova
Pic: Rakesh Dave 
His recent marriage to Kiran Rao seems to have helped Aamir Khan in 
more ways than one. 

Aamir has started watching films in south Indian languages — Kiran 
can now help interpret them, and was so bowled over by director 
Murugadas' hit Tamil film, Gajni, that he has agreed to act in its 
Hindi remake.

Gajni, an action-packed film starring Surya and newcomer Asin, will 
also be directed by Murugadas for a South Indian producer, who plans 
to relaunch his banner with a film after a long hibernation, after 
making a series of films with Amitabh Bachchan.

Aamir saw the film in Mumbai with Kiran at a special trial held 
exclusively for him recently, and allotted dates for the project as 
soon as he is through with his work in Yash Chopra's Fanaah.

Director thrilled

Though Khan was not available for confirmation on signing the 
project, an associate of Murugadas confirmed that the director was 
thrilled to be making his debut with the Hindi version of his own 
Tamil hit, with Aamir. 

Though he refused to divulge details about the project, he said there 
were plans to sign on a new face opposite Khan, since the producer 
wants to complete the film in a single, non-stop shooting schedule, 
and release it by the end of the year. 

Pre-production work is underway, and the script is undergoing some 
changes suggested in the story line by Aamir, to make the narrative 
pacy and taut.

( Question no 1.If im not wrong, ARRahman was said to be doing the 
music for the Hindi version of this film called Gajini.
 Question No 2. Is Gajini a comedy??? As we also heard that Aamir 
khan would be doing a full comedy movie Mani Ratnam. )
Can anyone plz clarify
ARRahman/Aamir Khan combo is lethal.  Rangeela/Fire/Lagan/Rising/RDB

Well the music rocks big time.
SOund track we have alrady discussed in detail.
Background music is awesome,esp the rock score for bgm where aamir khan 
was having a race in his truck with his friend on the bike and the bgm 
of the final scene where ARRahman alaaped with music when they were 
dieing is simply oneof ARRahman's best BGM. Its similar in quality to 
bombay theme and spirit of rangeela and thump of daud.
 Rocks big time.
Take care.

[arr] Re: a r rahman's response to the group's birthday wishes

[edwardian10]

Dear ARRahman bro.
 Yes you are very much a part of our lives now and there was no way we 
were going to miss on your birthday.
 I cant thank you enough for praying for all of us (i believe by that  
you meant praying in the KAABA during hajj.) That goes to show how 
great a human being you are that you dont forget to pray for your fans 
in the house of Allah.
 Thank you very much dear. Thank you again.
 Cheers

[arr] Rang De Basanti soundtrack has everything!!!

[edwardian10]

Hi fellows,
 I thought of listening to the soundtrack many times before writing 
something about it.
 Well let me repeat, RANGE DE BASANTI soundtrack has everything.
In terms of music, if you want:
1)Bhangra - Rang de basanti
2)Classical- Luka chupi (esp second half)
3)Techno- Pathshala
4)Love duet- Tum bin bataye
5)Arabian - Khalabali
6)Devotional- Ik onkar
7)Remix- Be a rebel
8)Dialogue song- Lalkar

 I mean almost every song falls into a different genre and how many 
times can one come across such an album.
 If you go to lyrics, they are simply superb. WHY??? Reason is it has 
classy lyrics in songs like RDB, luka chupi, tum bin bataye. But in 
other songs like Patshala, khalabali and roobaroo, the lyrics are 
very simple, yet meaningful and nothing nonsense.
 The lyrics themself remind of early 90s ARRahman songs, stuff like 
Rangeela and Hello doctor songs.I feel more criticism for youthful 
songs is expected from the seasoned fans like say myself, or gops or 
vijay iyer(im saying just for eg) who are now in late 20s or early 
30s. But when i was 18 years old and listened to rangeela, the effect 
would was exactly similar to a college student listening to RDB now.
  But ireally enjoyed the youthful lyrics too. Stuff like SHEESHI 
BOTHAL PEE LEE HAY,RAATH NEELI NEELI HAY, ...GHAR BATHA KE AAYE 
HAIN,.and  DEKHO LAMBOO SHOR HAY, BURBUR KARTHA H2SO4 HAY.

  even the word SALA has only been used twice in ARR's music. 
Incidentally the only time before was in Rangeela's KYA KARAY KYA NA 
KARAY and this time again its in Aamir Khan starrer ROOBAROO. 
 So in my opinion, there are many good reasons to believe that Rang 
De Basanti is one gem of an album and its Vintage ARRahman of mid 
90's .
Take care and comment plz!!!

[arr] Re: Roop Suhana Lagta Hai is an ARR song right?

[edwardian10]

>From what i know, since ARR's Hindi wasnt too good at that time, 
another musician had to be selected to use hindi singers and put hindi 
vocals to his tamil stuff. The music ofcourse, would always remain that 
of ARRahman. Anu Malik acted more like a music conductor for ARR's 
music. It wasnt a copy really but the music should go to ARRahman 
really and thats what is known to the whole world and thats why the 
same song is avaialable for download at ARRahman's sites everywhere.
Take care.

[arr] Re: maniathnam+rahman+amir- A WISH

[edwardian10]

hello everybody,
It would be a really amazing project with 3 geniuses working together.
However i have a wish (i wont say suggestion, as it may disappoint 
some members).
When it comes to the lyrics of a comedy movie, there are 2 ways to go 
about it. One is to go with absolutely normal and serious lyrics, 
great poetry if he could,and have great music but then picturize it 
in a really funny way, so that the comedy touch is enhanced.A classic 
example would always remain ANDAZ APNA APNA (another aamir khan 
classic) where the lyrics were great but serious but still due the 
the funny picturization, all the videos would make you laugh. and due 
to the great lyrics, the songs are still heard and remembered. A 
recent example might be garam masala where songs had serious lyrics.
  Second approach would be to have funny lyrics itself. Although i 
have absolutely no doubts about the music creativity of ARRahman, 
songs with very funny lyrics never become classics,although they may 
be hits. Something like NO ENTRY was the biggest hit of year 2005 but 
the songs are nothing memorable at all.
 So for a MANIRRATNAM-ARRAHMAN-AAMIR KHAN movie,i wont settle for a 
music anything less than CLASSIC,nothing less than DIL SE class :p
 So i only wish (and am not suggesting)that the lyrics are serious 
and meaningful but the picturization is funny, and not funny lyrics.
 I remeber when the songs STRAWBERRY ANKHAIN from sapnay was 
released,all my friends used to laugh at me that this is what 
ARRahman made and i had to defend him by saying that the music is 
really great and lyrics is not his job.
 I welcome you guys to comment.
Take care.

[arr] Re: Worst Music

[edwardian10]

Hello Mr.Shaikab,
I wish you were sensible enough to first see the original message 
where u would find out that the message (and thus the title)wasnt 
posted by me.
 It was my reply to the message, saying although u cant call it his 
WORST music, for an amir khan starrer after 4 years, it (according to 
my opinion, and at the end i repeated strictly my opinion)wasnt upto 
the occassion.
 Be careful and more courteous while using words. You dont need to 
pity my music sense. Better pity your sense of community 
participation.
Take care.

Hello friend,
 Well i personally think MP was not among the ARR's BEST. I myself felt 
let down for the first time by ARR. I mean the music wasn't bad at all 
but after Lagaan and an AAmir khan move after 4 years, i was expecting 
much better music. only Mangal mangal lived upto expectation and to 
some extent MAIN WARI WARI. Anyways, Rang De Basanti is one kick-ass 
album and to me, it has more than compensated for Mangal Panday. In 
comparison, i think BOSE was one of the most amazing stuff ever done by 
ARRahman. SO you see, its also upto individual likes and dislikes. But 
tto end it, we are all fans of the great musician ARRahman and thats 
good enough. :P

in Mumbai this week. Superstar Khan will actually walk down the ramp.

In addition, Daler Mehendi will perform to the tunes of his new hit,

[arr] A Suggestion To A.R.Rahman

[edwardian10]

Hello everybody,
Well to begin with, the promo of RDB Rocks.
The track itself is one hell of a track. The way the keyboard is 
used, could only be done by ARR.
I have a suggestion. I think although having used Daler Mehndi in 
this song, i think he should stop using Daler Mehndi or Sukwinder 
Singh in Punjabi bhangara tracks.
 Daler Mehndi's voice,although he is a great singer no doubt,is not 
very youthful im afraid. I mean if SALAM NAMASTE song was made with 
Daler Mehndi's voice, im sure it wont have been as big a hit.
 I think ARRahman should make even bhangra and punjabi songs with 
other singers like Sonu Nigam, Adnan Sami or Kunal Ganjawala, to 
name a few. Their voices give a very youthful feel which Daler 
Mehndi's voice fails to deliver sometimes. Besides, when he makes 
these different sounds with the song,it is expected from him in his 
songs, but if someone like Sonu or Kunal Ganjawala do that, it would 
be a very new feel to their style of singing and im sure would be 
something new to listeners.
 Although i can foresee Rangeela's heights for both Aamir khan and 
ARRahman with RDB, promised by the promos alone, i would suggest to 
ARRahman to kindly refrain from using Daler Mehndi's voice in such 
youthful numbers in future.
 Does anyone agrees??? Any commments are welcome.
Take care,
Jawad.

Can you kindly tell us the source of the news where it says ARR is 
doing music for Sholay remake. From what i know, having done musical 
chartbusters Rangeela and daud with Ramu, they both split and we 
never heard any quality music again in any of the Ramu films after 
that. At maximum, one song is passable and others are pathetic.
take care.

[arr] Re: Rang De Basanti . . . . .Songs Update. . . . .

[edwardian10]

Thanks for sharing the news. However a small correction.Its not the 
first time that Lata Mangeshkar would be singing with a composer. 
She has already sung with Adnan Sami Khan in film Lucky and he was 
the composer of that film.
Looking forward for RDB.
Take care,

[arr] Re: Habibi Uploaded

[edwardian10]

Hello buddy,
Thanks alot for this track which i was long looking forward to.
Yes it would be great if u could upload it in even better quality, 
even if that makes the songs size bigger. The quality would be even 
bettter then. 256 kbps should make it perfect.
take care,
jawad.

[arr] Re: Bloody shame what happened to Bose and Meenaxi's music.......

[edwardian10]

Together with Tehzeeb, these 3 are my all-time ARRahman most under-
rated albums.
1.Bose
2.Meenaxi
3.Tehzeeb
 Lakeer would be a close 4th.

[arr] garam masala / DOL DOL?????

[edwardian10]

Hello everybody,
 If u have noticed, at the end of the garam masala trailors, when the 
voice of the singer says GARAM MASALA, that sounds exactly like the 
voice that says SALAM NAMASTE from dol dol song in YUVA. Even this 
garam masala voice sounds like that of blaze, who had sung dol dol.
 What do u think guys,
Take care,

[arr] Re: God-fearing Allah Rakha Rahman

[edwardian10]

Thanks for the nice article gops. I think it might be a little old 
because in this ARRahman talks about doing the 4 out of 5 compulsory 
things of islam and talking about the fifth. That is kalama, namaz, 
fasting, zakat and talking about intending to do hajj.
 However, it is to be noted that he already has performed hajj last 
year.(i hope you remember his shaven head :P)
Take care,
Jawad.

[arr] Re: Lyrics & translation of Tauba Tauba from Vande Mataram

[edwardian10]

Dear Jitesh,
Well as u said in EK HO GAYE HUM OR TUM, means Me and you become one.
AIK always means ONE.
but in english,the phrase is quite frequently used in a different 
sense.For example:
ONE HAS TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.
ONE HAS TO GO TO JOB EVERYDAY.
But in urdu/hindi, we would hardly ever say
AIK KO SUBHA JALDI OTNA HAI
AIK KO ROZANA JOB PE JANA HAY
but in this tauba tauba song, he used the word AIK exactly in that 
sense as i just described which is such a common expression in 
English.
I hope i have been able to make it clear :P

Jawad.

[arr] ARRahman's tune stolen in film GARAM MASALA

[edwardian10]

Hi everybody,
 The songs ADA'a main tune from the new film Garam Masala is stolen 
from the song ATHURA of A.R.Rahman's movie U20 E18.
The MD PRITAM who in his last film choclate stole 2 songs 100 % from 
pakistani songs, does it again. While in chocolate his song Zehreli 
ratain was a ballant copy of Jal's Aadat, and song december was a 
total copy of Abrar ul Haque's December, Thanks GOD this one is not a 
100%copy, however the fans of ARRahman should tell this to various 
websites because there is every chance we might get to hear those 
beautiful ARRahman's beautiful compositions in Hindi later but if 
these other composers steal them then who knows BOYS is next to be 
copied by someone else in hindi before ARRahman actually releases the 
hindi version.
 Do something about it guys.
 Take care,
  Jawad.

[arr] Re: Muthu in Hindi

[edwardian10]

 Hi Rawat,
 I just wrote a whole email to u about downlaodable songsof muthu but 
im not sure whether thats sent to the group or not.
 Plz go to coolgoose.com and then music.
Then in search ,try to go to songs uploaded by BLOODHOUND.
 You will get the folowing songs of muth.
 1)PHOOLWALI NE MUJKO
 2)CHOD CHALA NIMOR
 3)KOI SAMJHADE
 
 even there was OOPERWALA MALIK HAY(oruvan oruvan) there but no longer 
there. I hope u enjoy the songs.
 
 Besides,I happened to watch muthu dubbed in hindi on b4u. There was 
especially great and amazing BGM when rajnikanth was ridign teh tonga 
and holding snake and using it as a whip.THE BGM was really amazing.Can 
anyone upload.
Take care,
jawad.

[arr] Re: A lot of ARR bashing for MP

[edwardian10]

 Hello everybody,
 I personally feel that,while the sound track of MP is pretty good, 
BOSE was a timeless classic. I imagine if he had given that soundtrack 
to MP, i cant imagine what it would be like to seee Aamir khan perform 
on QADAM QADAM, ika chal, and zikr.
 Really, just a weird thought

[arr] The rising fever RISING

[edwardian10]

 Hello everybody,
 It was really nice to see a big THE RISING poster of Aamir khan on a 
london double decker bus and seeing ARRahman's name nearby. It looked 
like a blockbuster hollywood movie.
 The fever is rising and it will grip the entire india. The 
expectations are sky high and it looks like beating lagaan for sure. 
Take  my words.
take care,

[arr] A hint to WATER's release!!!!!!!

[edwardian10]

Book on Deepa Mehta
 
By Vickey Lalwani ©2005 Bollyvista.com 
 
Deepa Mehta  
NRI filmmaker Deepa Mehta's daughter Devyani Saltzman is ready with a 
book regarding her mother's painful divorce and the hardships she 
faced trying to make her latest film 'Water' in Varanasi, as Hindu 
fundamentalists threatened dire consequences.

The book entitled, 'Shooting Water: A Mother-Daughter Journey & The 
Making Of A Film' took six years to complete. Key Porter Books will 
release the book across Canada on October 1st. Penguin India has 
bought it, but the release date is to be announced, probably to 
coincide with Water's release in India.

[arr] Bollyvista reviews THE RISING (in great detail)

[edwardian10]

'Mangal Pandey - The Rising' is many things - a huge film with a big 
star cast, Aamir's first release in four years (as he teams up with 
his 'Ghulam' co-star) and the ruling Rani of Bollywood. It boasts of 
an internationally famous music director and the best lyricist in 
the Indian film industry (master of patriotic lyrics). When all 
these top names/talents combine, the expectations assume mammoth 
proportions. So does the music of 'Mangal Pandey -The Rising' 
measure up to the expectations? Let us check out for ourselves, the 
music of a film that marks the comeback of one of the finest actors 
of recent times, Aamir Khan. 

The first version of the title track 'Mangal Mangal' says - "Wake up 
India!! If you have forgotten the sacrifices of Bharat Mata's 
patriotic sons, Bhagat Singh's and Mangal Pandey's." Coming to the 
track, we have to go overboard (as some may think) and make a bold 
statement (repeating what Aamir says) "Here is the patriotic song of 
the decade" and that too in three different flavors/variations. 

A.R. Rahman and Javed sahib have worked wonders together and created 
a song (sorry, we know its blasphemous to term it as just a song) 
that just cannot be described in words. This track will definitely 
move the hearts and souls of all the patriotic Indians, many 
centuries after the sacrifice of Mangal Pandey. Awesome, amazing and 
superlative are a few words that come to mind. 

The first version, termed as the "Prabhati" (sunrise or dawn 
breaking) by the leading man Aamir, is a mind-blowing composition. 
After 'Kisna' and 'Bose', Rahman proves yet again that he is the 
best when it comes to period films (sad that he has announced that 
it will be his last!). 'Mangal Mangal' uses no techno gadgets, no 
drums or guitars, just ancient percussion instruments like 
the 'Dhol', 'Tabla' and 'Daf'. Javed Akhtar demonstrates once again 
that no one knows more about the rich Indian culture and heritage 
than he does. Listen to how he describes the festivities /rituals 
that unfold with the sunrise, the holy dip, the 'Surya Namaskar' 
(that Aamir performs with perfection in the promos) on the sacred 
ghats of the holy Ganges. 

"Bhor aave jo Ganga nahane, Raat har ghaat se hat jaye, Surya kirno 
ki talwar tane, Aur andhiyara sab kat jaye, Koi tat par hi dhooni 
ramave, Koi jhatpat darshan ko jaye." 

In the second version of 'Mangal Mangal', the theme is "Agni" 
(fire). The rhythm and tempo is faster. The song starts off 
with 'Nagada' sounds (an ancient drum used by the rulers before 
important announcements for their 'praja'). Though to some the first 
and second version may seem similar, here 'jago' means the awakening 
of the mind against the atrocities of the British Raj. Kailash Kher 
sings with such zeal and fervor to convey the rebellious mood 
(during the sepoy mutiny of 1857 whose hero was Mangal Pandey), the 
seething anger and the fire within in such a manner that the song 
becomes an ace. Check out the lyrics - "Aag aisi lagi hai dilon 
mein, Na bujhegi kisi ke bujhaye, Man ki agni hai aankhon se jhalke, 
Sar nahin jhukte hai jhukaye.

The third version has a theme "Aatma" (soul). While both the 
previous versions have Kailash Kher as the solo singer, the third 
and slower version of 'Mangal Pandey' has both Sukhwinder and 
Kailash singing another exceptional track. The essence here is 
sacrifice and the pride associated with laying down one's life for 
the motherland. The lyrics are again superlative and the rhythm 
varies in pace according to the mood/requirement of the song 
situation. Javed sahib's lyrics go - "Koi duniya se ab jaa raha hai, 
Kitne gaurav se sar ko uthaya, Dhanya hai bhaagya har us maata ke, 
Jo aisa beta paya, Woh nidar hai, Woh amar hai, Jaan jati hai to 
jaye." We guarantee that a lot of moist eyes will be there during 
this song (on-screen)! 

'Tabla' and 'ghungroo' (anklet) sounds, a perfect welcome to the 
Rani of Bollywood and also to Rahman's first 'mujra', 'Main Vari 
Vaari'. Kavita, who after her marriage has become quite selective, 
sings this composition that deviates from the norms of 
traditional 'mujra' compositions. The song is composed more in 
the 'qawwali' mode as in the 60's and 70's (where qawwals 
combined 'qawwali' with 'mujra' styled songs). 

'Main Vaari Vaari' may not be in the league of 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai' 
('Umrao Jaan') or 'Maar Daala' ('Devdas') but before putting it 
down, one must remember that Bollywood's most famous 'mujra' 'Inhi 
Logon Ne' ('Pakeeza') relied more on rhythm rather than restricting 
itself to the prevailing norms. Kavita is excellent as she sings to 
Javed sahib's lyrics - "Tumhari adaon pe main vaari vaari, Tumhari 
adaon pe main vaari vaari, Har ek baat hai jaise meethi katari." 

  
A Still from 'Mangal Pandey - The Rising'  
Next up is the only average composition of the album, 'Holi Re' 
(which has Aamir's voice too). It's nice to hear Udit singing for 
Aamir once again, as he was Aamir's voice in 'Q

[arr] Aamir sings for The Rising

[edwardian10]

By IndiaFM News Bureau, July 13th 2005 - 1415 hrs IST


After rendering his vocal chords and making an anthem out of 'aye kya
bolti tu', Mr. Perfectionist Khan does it again. In The Rising, we
hear this Mangal Pandey sing a Holi song, titled Holi Re along with
Udit Narayan, Madhushree, Srinivas and Chinmaye.

Whether he is a part of the full-fledged song or just the prelude is
yet to be confirmed.

[arr] Re: BOSE: new controversy-Some important & interesting facts

[edwardian10]

A couple of days ago,Krishna Bose, Subash Chandra Bose's daughter in 
law was in the border city of Peshawar(Near Afghanistan)and she met 
our family's elder,the ex-interior minister Retd.Maj.Gen NaseerUllah 
KHan Babar at his residence. She also met Siraj Khan,the son of the 
freedom fighter Ibad Khan,the person mainly responsible for flaying 
BOSE to Afghanistan. The interesting part is that Siraj khan belongs 
to our village pirpiai and this was even mentioned in the newspaper.
(iwill be scanning and putting that cutting in files section soon).
   Here's the exact english translation of the urdu news.
 "The hero of subcontinent's freedom fight Subash Chandra's Bose's 
daughter in law Krishna Bose is in Peshawar to meet her family's 
helpers.At ex-interior minister Naseer Ullah Babar's residence,she 
met Siraj khan,the son of prominent freedom fighter Ibad khan,the 
person who mainly helped Bose flay away to Afghanistan.She made it 
clear to Siraj khan that she will never forget the co-operation his 
father did to Bose.On monday,Krishna BOse,who is a member of a 
delegation from india,met Siraj khan and Rtd.Gen NaseerUllah 
Babar.Prominent journalist Mr.Rahim Ullah Yusafzai was also present 
on the occasion.
  Siraj khan's father Ibad khan belongs to village Pirpiai of 
district NOwshera.in 1941,Ibad khan helped and cooperated Bose in 
flaying away to Afghanistan.After going to Afghanistan,BOse went to 
Germany.Krishna Bose said that if pathans hadnt fought against the 
British then neither Pakistan nor India would have been free 
today.For freedom struggle,the role of Pathans is an unforgettable 
one.She told Siraj khan that if his father hadnt helped Bose,then 
today he wouldnt have been considered this great a hero of freedome 
fight and that her family would be grateful to him and his family 
for that great help.
 Later on,she went along with Siraj khan to visit Taj Mahal 
hotel,Jehangirapura bazar and cantt. railway station. Krishna bose 
has been a memeber of parliament thrice.She is currently the 
chairperson of Netaji Research Beaureu."

   In a second attached small column,it was mentioned that another 
man Akbar shah made bose stay in taj mahal hotel in peshawar after 
he flayed from india.Since bose was not familiar with Pushto 
language,another local Bhagat ram showed him as his dumb brother and 
kept his name as Ziz ud din.When bose was gonig to Germany,his 
passport carred the name of Arnendo.Lateron in Germany,he met Hitler 
a few times.Later he formed an army for freedom of india.Subash BOse 
was an important Congress leader but he had other ideas than 
Mr.Gandhi.

  I hope u guys found it interesting.I will be putting the newspaper 
in files section soon.Take care.
 Dr.Jawad Babar

[arr] Re: 'Roop suhana lagta hai' from 'Gentleman' YES IT IS INSPIRED !!!!

[edwardian10]

Hi everybody,
 The song ROOP SOHANA LAGTA HAI has always gone as an ARR 
composition.The reason being after Gentleman became superhit in 
tamil, when they wanted to re-make it in hindi,the problem arised 
with ARR's hindi. Thats why anu malik was roped in to rather RE-
RECORD the songs with the duty that he should get the singers to 
sing them well in hindi,wiht ARR's permission.Obviously ARR,at that 
time,with the language problem couldntdo so.The hindi songs of 
GNETLEMAN were mega hits.Couple of ARR greats were roop sohana 
lagata hai and Aashiqui main had se guzarnay ko jee chahy.
 Unfortunately,no one knew much about arr in bollywood so initially 
anu malik took credit for composing those songs.But later on 
everybody came to know that these were arr compositions.
I hope that clears up the thing.
Take care,
 Jawad.

[arr] Re: Some of ARR's best work in last two years

[edwardian10]

 I totally agree...  I personally rate his KANGALAL KAITHU SEI and 
TEHZEEB as one of his all time best,in tamil and 
hindi,respectively.Meenaxi certainly also deserves to be put there. 
 Ofcourse all others are good too.
take care, 
 jawad.

[arr] Re: Translation of ZIKR

[edwardian10]

Dear Shivu,
 Although it's very difficult as most of the words (especially the 
beautiful names of Allah) are in Arabic, I will try my best to give 
u the meaning.

Ahl-e-talab aja tum ko bulai ahed Allah
zikr se burh ke nahin hai amal koiee hai farman-e-rasool Allah
nijaat milti hai unko yaqeenan karein jo qalb se zikr Allah
zikr se sur kat-ta hai Nafs ka beshaq zikr hai saif-ullah

Those of you, who seek Allah's attention, Come, as you are called by 
Allah.
There is no better deed than ZIKR, said the Holy Prophet of Allah.
And those who do ZIKR of Allah from core of their hearts, become 
successful.
And Zikr cuts Nafs (a human being's desire to do whatever he wants, 
good or bad but used mostly for the desire to do evil things) so 
Zikr is sword of Allah.

zikr aman hai zikr hai fatah zikr shifa hai zikr hai dawa
Allah ho baqimil qule fani aur fana hai sub wo muqab-Allah

Zikr is peace, Zikr is victory, Zikr is remedy, and Zikr is prayer
(I can't give exact meaning of the second line but it means 
something like this)
Only Allah is eternal and will be there when nothing else will be 
there, as everything other than Allah will get destroyed one day.

Hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, maafi-qalbi gher-ullah
noor-e-Muhammad sallallah, haq laillaha illallah
 
hu... Allah hu... Allah hu
 
Hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, maafi-qalbi gherullah
noor-e-Muhammad sallallah, haq laillaha illallah

Apart form Allah subhan ta alah's greatness,
Take anything other than Allah out of your heart
And leave Light of Muhammad (May peace be upon him)
The Truth of La ila ha il Allah (the Kalma of testimony or 
shahadath, the basic of Islam, where every Muslim declares that 
there is no one worship- worthy other than Allah)

Har gul mein har rooh mein, har shey mein noor-ullah
Har dil mein har pal mein reh zikr-e-illallah

In every flower, in every spirit, there is light of Allah
In every heart, in every moment, there's Zikr of Allah

zikr hai behtar nafrat se zikr hai behtar ghaflat se 
zikr hai behtar hujat se zikr hai behtar gheebat se

Zikr is better than hatred; Zikr is better than not caring about 
life hereafter
Zikr of Allah is much better compared to saying bad things about 
fellow human beings


Ya Qayum ya Qayum Ya Qayum
Ya Awal Ya Akhir, Ya Awal Ya Akhir
Ya Halleem ya Kareem Ya Azeem ya Raheem
Ya Rahman ya Subhan ya Adnan ya Mannan 
Ya Zol Jallal wal iIkram Ya Zol jallal wal Ikaram


Now he recites the beautiful names of Allah.
Ya Qayum (Al-Qayum mean THE SELF-SUBSISTING i.e. HE WHO HOLDS THE 
ENTIRE UNIVERSE)
Ya Awal (Al-Awal means THE FIRST i.e. HE WHO WAS THERE WHEN NOTHING 
ELSE WAS THERE)
Ya Akhir (Al-Aakhir means THE LAST i.e. HE WHO WILL BE THERE WHEN 
NOTHING ELSE WILL BE THERE)
Ya Haleem (Al-Haleem means THE FOREBEARING ONE i.e. HE WHO IS 
CLEMENT)
Ya Kareem (Al-Kareem means THE GENEROUS ONE)
Ya Azeem (Al-Azeem means THE GREAT ONE)
Ya Raheem (Al-Raheem means THE MERCIFUL, He who gives blessings and 
prosperity)
Ya Rahman (Al-Rahman means THE BENEFICENT)
Ya Subhan 
Ya Adnan
Ya Manan
(The above 3 are not names of Allah but im not in a position to 
write anything about it.)
Ya Zol jallal wal Ikaram (means THE LORD OF MAJESTY AND BOUNTY)

Well it still might not be 100 percent exact meanings but still they 
are the closest. It's such a beautiful peace of devotion, which 
should catch attention of any human being, regardless of his caste, 
religion or language.
 Take care and happy listening,
Jawad.

[arr] Re: arr ftp

[edwardian10]

Yes dear,most certainly YES. Plus kindly put full verson of HABIBI 
SONG FROM TEHZEEB. That 30 second sound clip was amazing and the 
quality was extremly good. Even for that one song alone, the revival 
of the ftp is justified,not to mention other great songs.Kindly dont 
put that fake version of EKAM SATYAM.
  I appreciate you for your great efforts and you are a really great 
ARR fan.
 Take care and all the best,
 Jawad.
