Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song
Well Said! I too had the same thought as you expressed in these below lines. But the situation with CWG is totally unclear. Some wanted the song to have an English version, some wanted a more Indianized tune. Some wanted it to be soulful, some wants it to be of high tempo. With all these different views, what chances are there that the new version will satisy all parties (or any parties) concerned? In my opinion, redoing the song is pointless and will result in nothing more than a wild-goose chase. We have got a gang of people who get popular by finding mistakes. The people who criticized CWG theme has got their name scrolling scrolling in atleast any 1 news channel. Poor Critics... We cannot help it out guys. --- On Mon, 6/9/10, Gayathri Chandrakasan gayathri_c...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Gayathri Chandrakasan gayathri_c...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, 6 September, 2010, 12:34 PM However, if it is a commissioned artist, say, you hire a painter to do draw your mom's or dad's portrait, or yourself's, and what he draws you don't like, you don't think that his portrait is expressing the qualities you would like to see on the pic face of your mom or dad, or on your own pic face. Of course, it is because you never briefed him properly beforehand what feel or expression you wanted in the portrait. But, whatever the history, if you don't like the portrait, you would rather expect the artist to touch it up, OR, you would tear off that painting, or dump that somewhere even after paying the artist full money, and you would commission some other artist and on and on, unless you get what you want. Customer is the king. But whatever improvements or changes needed would have been conveyed during the process of making the art and not after the final product has been given to you, am I right? Likewise the customer in this case i.e. the Government has approved of the song prior to the release. So it's ridiculous to turn around and ask ARR to redo his song now, simply because someone else (Opposition, media) doesn't seem to like it. The act not only insults ARR as the composer but would also makes us to question the Government's judgment in approving the song in the first place. sorry for repeating it 3rd time, but ARR has retouched his work previously as per directors' requirements. Ranjha Ranjha has a film version that was not in the CDs, chiggy wiggy has got some indian voice version when some copyright issue had come up from Kylie's contract, I guess. Palanhare of lagaan has a film version had different voice than the CD version. Gopala of humse has muqabla has a different lyrics in film version (hindi) than in the cassettes. The songs that were mentioned by your goodself had changes only as far as the singers or lyrics are concerned, not the tune itself. In that sense, the above changes cannot be categorised as ARR has retouched his work. On the other hand, Ranjha Ranjha's situation was totally different. The original tune was there in the film (at least it was there in the Tamil version). An additional and different version of the song (the pathos number) was composed only to accomodate the situation of the film. No one knows whose idea it was- it could be ARR's or Mani's, but one thing was clear- the tune was definitely not composed to replace the original number. The other aspect is, Jai Ho's pussycat version might have gone more popular in foreign countries just because it was in a language they could understand. So, what if some other MD releases a remix version of CWG theme that gets more popular than ARR's original, say Himesh or Anu Malik or Pritam releases a remix CWG? Then, wouldn't it be a further war among skills of both the MDs? ARR's skills are undisputed, so it will be bad seeing some other MD of lesser skills getting prominence over him. I very sure that we would not be facing a situation where Anu Malik or Himesh releases a remix of CWG in near future. Not when ARR himself is particular about the copyright of his songs. In fact, Jai Ho's pussycat version was possible because ARR had the rights of the song and he agreed for the collaboration. And there was also a purpose for new version- ARR particularly wanted to new version to reach out to the western market and hence the collaboration. But the situation with CWG is totally unclear. Some wanted the song to have an English version, some wanted a more Indianized tune. Some wanted it to be soulful, some wants it to be of high tempo. With all these different views, what chances are there that the new version will satisy all parties (or any parties) concerned?

[arr] Raavanan Review
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/review/10848.html Raavanan - Ten Faced Persona IndiaGlitz [Friday, June 18, 2010] Mani Ratnam returns to spread magic (or a blunder, as this review progresses) with his ‘Raavanan’ after a splendid show in the form of ‘Guru’. Well lets be positive to some extent now, his team is world class, with Santosh Sivan behind the lens, Srikar Prasad on the editor’s table and A R Rahman handling the music and besides that the stellar star cast! The movie looked like a bouquet of flowers but only the fragrance seemed to fade! Now moral of the story – Never go by hype! Wondering why we started with the moral so soon, well that is what ‘Raavanan’ is all about! It is a celluloid adaptation of ‘Ramayana’ written by sage Valmiki (and interestingly, no name is displayed for ‘the story’ when the titles are showed.) with modern publicity techniques that will attract the audience. Let’s get to the analysis part and wrap this review up as soon as possible, because the movie is just above 2 hours. And about wrapping it soon, anyone among the audience will tell you to get out of the hall as soon as possible once the movie is over! Mani Ratnam, the master of creating art on celluloid has possibly over worked to make a disappointment! He is class apart no doubt but his class on screen is visible only in parts. He has delicately portrayed bits and pieces of modern day Ramayana. Well nothing offending here but Ramayana is a story that is imbibed in to our lives from childhood, seems like this movie was shot to associate every scene with the happenings in the holy epic. Characterisation and Performances Suhasini Maniratnam pens the dialogues of the movie. Her dialogues are intelligent, credible and most importantly, conveying information. Characters and their strengths are informed through these wonderful dialogues. The homework seems to have been done well. Mani Ratnam has sketched his characters amazingly. Every character has a purpose and every actor behind the character has been rightly cast. . Leave alone the fact he was inspired from Ramayana but here in this, the Raavanan is the hero. The title role is played by Vikram (like you didn’t know). He is Veera alias Veeraiah. A tribal leader who’s fighting for their rights. He is strong, genuine and loyal to his tribe. Even other characteristics of his are mentioned through an enquiry scene where the police talk to the tribals to find out what kind of a person this Veera is. Vikram’s performance is simply electric. The next in line is Prithvi Raj, who’s the dynamic Superintendent of Police. He is oozing with confidence as an actor and his chemistry with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is good enough on screen. He makes it quite obvious as being the Rama in this story. So you know the strings attached. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s characterization is simple. She is a loving wife who has been abducted (did we leak the story now?) and her expressions from thereon are simply amazing. She is beautiful on screen (sure is) and has come out with a noticeably extraordinary performance. Only a certain part of the credit goes to her, the rest goes to Mani for getting the best out of her. The other supporting characters like Karthik( apparently Hanuman) as a forest officer, Prabhu as Vikram’s older brother, Munna as Vikram’s younger brother and others are impressively handled characters. The director has made sure all the characters receive the deserved importance. Mani Ratnam is the master unarguably; he has made sure the actors have their presence felt on screen. At this predicament of the review, Priya Mani as Vikram’s step sister has done a commendable job. Her character as a bold sister to the strong brother is much appreciable. Her performance will definitely be applauded and as she’s playing the same role in the Hindi version, she has made an excellent start in her Bollywood journey. Technicalysis Technically speaking, Editor Srikar Prasad has sharp scissors. The screenplay in the first half, though nothing has been conveyed and is an utter waste of film reels, his editing is near precision. Stunts and bomb work by Peter Heines and Shyam Kaushal deserve appreciation and so is art director Sameer’s work, given the fact that most of the movie was shot in and around water. The tribal village, the police camp, a bridge and a marriage set were simply amazing and he would be one technician to make note of. The fight on the bridge just before the climax is an edge-of-the-seat scene that has been well shot and well directed. But there is one man who will be applauded for his work (perhaps the only respite in the movie) is Santosh Sivan and his camera work! Mani’s movies always have natural lighting and Santosh has used it to good effect. Green pastures, water falls, rivers, trees, and all that nature can offer in a forest are radiantly shown. Hats of Santosh, you’ve done a splendid job!

In a way, it would be sacrilegious to critique Rahman's music. Especially if you are a die-hard fan. Especially if he's released an album after six months. And especially if he has teamed up with Gulzar and Mani Ratnam, a partnership, that in the past, has given gems like Dil Se, Bombay and Roja. But in the case of Raavan, blasphemy isn't really a choice. Rahman's genius lies in the unpredictability of his struc- tures and the multi-layered depth that he gives a song, each of which unravels in subsequent hearings. Though, on its face, the music of Raavan is distinc- tive it has a `nukad naatak' type theatrical feel to it but on repeated hearing, the new layers you uncover are reminiscent of older Rahman songs you've heard before. Soft and ethereal to begin with, `Behene de' builds in momentum and ends up resembling Dil Se's `Satrangi re'. `Thok de killi', with its frenetic pace and war cry-like theme, is a `Dhakka laga bukka' (Yuva) meets `Chale chalo' (Lagaan) towards the end. `Ranjha ranjha' sounds, in parts, like a better- arranged version of Blue's `Yaar mila tha'. `Khilli re', though thematically very different, is reminiscent of Lagaan's `O paalan hare'. `Beera' stands tall over the other songs, and is one of the best-arranged, and most addictive songs this year, with a melodious chant that you won't be able to stop humming for a while. Buy the album for `Beera', Gulzar's evocative lyrics and for Rahman's inspired use of ethnic Indian instruments, but don't expect a Roja.

Re: [arr] GV Prakash croons for AR Rahman
GV croons for AR Rahman By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 28 April , 2010, 12:11 The young, hot and happening music director GV Prakash has sung a song for his uncle AR Rahman, after a gap of nearly 17 years! Rahman is composing music for the prestigious Ulaga Tamil Chemozhi Manadu, to be held by the Tamilnadu Government in June in Coimbatore. Prakash has sung one of the songs for the album which will be released at the Manadu. Remember Prakash has last sung under his uncle’s baton for the song Chikku Bukku, Chikkubukku Raile… from the 1993 film Gentleman, when he was just a kid? Says a pleased GV Prakash: “I have not sung for anyone after I became a music director but when Rahman called me to sing under his baton, I was so excited and honoured. To be frank, I was nervous to sing for the legend himself and I am sure that I have satisfied the composer”. .

Re: [arr] Different approaches to listen to a new ARR album
First Approach.. On Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 4:27 AM, Ram Motipally ram.motipa...@gmail.comwrote: Friends, It is that time when a new album from our boss is releasing. Makes me get into a reflective mood in terms of how do I listen to a new album from ARR. I primarily can think of 3 approaches/patterns under which I listen to a new album. Let me know what you guys think. Approach 1: Take the album listen to all the songs at one stretch and then repeat the same process. Advantage I found of this is that you listen to all the songs at one shot, but disadvantage is that first 2-3 times I feel completely lost. I follow this pattern a lot. Approach 2: Take one song at a time, listen to it a few times and then only move to the next song. This I rarely follow. Advantage is, it helps you internalize one song at a time. But disadvantage is it takes lot of patience and effort ! Approach 3: Listen to entire album once, pick the ones that stand out right away and stray towards them. I find this most suitable approach and I easily follow this path. But, downside is that I naturally tend to neglect some songs and never truly enjoy them unless I revisit the album later. This is most preferred approach for me. So guys, what do you think ? I am curious to know how others do this. Ram

Re: [arr] Review of VTV Lyrics (Average). What's your opinion ???
The lyrics are perfect fit for the movie.. Lyrics should reflect the mood of the movie and it happened very well in VTV.. This is the second time, Thamarai is working with ARR.. She worked in Thenali for Injarungo and had won a Tamilnadu State Award for Best Lyricist. On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 2:35 PM, jayram m.n jayram...@yahoo.com wrote: I admire and enjoy some of the good songs written by Thamarai. She has given some memorable pieces like Suttum Velli Sudarey from Ghagni, Kangal irandal from Subramanyapuram and so many others. The list is pretty long. But my overall impression is that the lyrics in VTV was kind of average lyrics (or below average). (1) Hosanna and Ommna Penne - Both these songs can be remembered without any lyrics, because of the catchy tune, main tag-word selected for the songs. (2) Vinnaithaandi varuvaya and Manipaaya - Better lyrics with good flow of words in both these songs. Definitely promising. (3) Anbil Avan : Okay lyrics (most of the lyrics consists of rehashed marriage oaths which is a cool idea). (4) Kannukul Kannai : Sounds more like a dialogue rather than a poem. (4) Since I don't understand Malayalam, I cannot say much about Aromale lyrics. But from the translation that appeared in this forum, the lyrics sounds quite impressive and imaginative. She has definitely struggled to write the songs for VTV. Perhaps she needs to work more with ARR Sir to understand his style of composition and tunes to give much better lyrics. Sorry for being little bit harsh with my review, but I expect more memorable lyrics Thamarai (especially with ARR Sir).

Column
By
Behindwoods Visitor K.ANANTH
The
views expressed in this column are that of the visitor.
Behindwoods.com doesn't hold responsible for its content.
After
proving his mettle with some unforgettable
cop flicks and psycho thrillers Gautham
Vasudev Menon seemed all set to make you
fall in love, with love. In the end however
you have to say that he has managed to
do quite the opposite.
Karthik (Silambarasan) an aspiring film
director, falls head over heals in love
with Jessie(Trisha) at first sight. The
problem? He is a Hindu, she is a conservative
Malayali Christian, she has a job and
is settled while he is still at the crossroads
of life, trying to find a footing in cinema,
having given up his studies already and
to top it all she is a year older than
him.
Despite having a great recipe for a classic
romantic flick Gautham gets it all wrong.
For starters this movie is a big time
overdose of romance with very few enjoyable
moments that you would like to relive
over and over again. The initial sequences
between the lead pair seem so artificial
and contrary to the voiceovers Karthik
gives at many points during the film.
There is no real chemistry between them,
at least for most part. It may be safe
to blame the writing for this which summed
up in one word is, unimaginative.
To
top that there is nothing innovative about
the script and the meandering screenplay
just makes things worse. After a point
in time the movie becomes so much of an
ordeal and a test of patience
that you manage to easily look
through
GA_googleFillSlot(T_200_200);
GA_googleCreateDomIframe('google_ads_div_T_200_200' ,'T_200_200');
some genuinely good moments towards the end.
However to Gautham's credit no one would have
foreseen the twist in the climax. Yes it was practical
and had that element of surprise but does he expect
the viewer, subjected to almost 3 hours of romance,
romance and more listless romance to walk out of the
theatre having been swept off their feet?
Performances wise Trisha single handedly lifts the
film up. Sexy and classy she easily manages to overshadow
Silambarasan. Cinematography is one big reason why
this movie passes muster. Very surprisingly there
is very little to write home about AR RAHMAN's background
score but he sort of makes up for it in the songs.
If only this movie had more than just love in it (Some
healthy humor for example), if only it had packed
in some more interesting events to get rid of the
dryness, if only it had not been so long, if only...if
only..There are just too many of them.
VERDICT: - STRICTLY FOR THE DIE HARD ROMANTICS.
Stars - 2/5.

And in those list the ARR introduced T K Karthik Devan Ekambaram Vasundara Das youtube.com/nithbhas http://www.youtube.com/nithbhas T K Karthik With some of the hottest numbers in town, including two biggies from Baba, MCA kid-cum-playback singer, T K Karthik, is the latest hit with Tamil filmdom's music directors. Karthik comes from a family of bathroom singers. When in college, he arranged to meet singer Srinivas, who happens to be his best friend's cousin. To me, he was big. I am a fan of A R Rahman and Srinivas was his singer. He asked me to sing and liked what he heard. Srinivas eventually turned out to be Karthik's link to Rahman, he says. He remembers the dates well. It was December 17, 1999. Until then, I had never stepped out of home after 8 pm. But that night, my friends and I had planned a midnight birthday party for a friend. It turned out that Rahman wanted me to sing a number that night, and Srinivas kept calling home. It was about 11-45 pm. My parents couldn't reach me. Srinivas finally told them that if I was lucky, I would call him in 10 minutes. Otherwise... Somehow, I got in touch with home and called him immediately. It was past midnight on December 18''. He was just in time in Rahman's studio for the recording. Rahman was like my demi-God, and there he was... in front of me. I was nervous but Rahman helped me, cracking jokes and all. He is a lot of fun when you know him personally. He had been called for a chorus track for Pukar, which somehow was not released. It's a good sentiment, isn't it. From then till about two years, I was doing only choruses for Rahman. It got me very popular in college. On January 31, 2001, Rahman asked me and others in the group to sing an Aalap. Next day, he called me to record for Nendikitten from Star. It was his first solo. Karthik has since then done tracks for Ilayaraja, Harris Jayaraj, Karthik Raja, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Bharadwaj, Vidhyasagar, Deva and others. Most often though, he's not told which movie or actor he is singing for. But when I was singing for Baba, I knew I was singing for Rajnikanth and was very conscious. I had to get it right. Source- The Hindu, Aug 2002 If you ask T K Karthik what the best part about being a playback singer is, he will talk about the countries he got to see...not the 40-odd film songs he has sung covering Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada movies or the bunch of numbers under his favourite music director A R Rahman. Tuning into Karthik is not very difficult. He is the boy next door, 22, once a part of a college band, who gradually shifted from college audi to Rahman's studio as a chorus member. I just had one recording a month in the whole of 2000, he recalls. But lots of stories to tell his friends after the experience. For this DG Vaishnav College student, things started changing after he met singer Srinivas. I used to keep in touch with him and he used to give me a lot of pointers. says Karthik. He took the tips seriously and it wasn't long before Srinivas put him onto Rahman. But when Karthik sang Nendikitten in Star, he didn't know what was happening. I was singing the track and had no clue if Rahman would use my voice, he says. Rahman finally clued him in and Karthik's solo singing career took off. Karthik insists life has always been like that for him - unplanned. He learned Carnatic music for a year and then discontinued. Then he joined ghazal classes. Now, it is Hindustani classical music for him, his teacher being noted singer Sriram Parasuram. I was always passionate about Hindustani music, he says. So after 13 years Karthik is learning what he always wanted to. I was raw when when I started, he recalls. My Carnatic training taught me the fundamentals, singing ghazals helped with voice culture and Hindustani has widened my pitch and outlook. I think it is never too late to learn. And all through his parents (absolute music lovers) gave him all the support they could. They have no clue how a recording happens. They just see me go out to record and come back with money, he says. In between the studios and stage shows, Karthik says, he managed to complete his B Com and is now hoping to finish a Master's at the University of Madras. Like he said, it's never too late to learn. Some of his recent numbers are Aval Ulaga Azhagiyae from Laysa Laysa, Vaada Machan from Run, Maya Maya and Shakthi Kodu from Baba and a number in Five Star.

Rahman’s first album after the Oscars, will be powered by DCI Mobile Studios (a division of Galatta.com) .Sony Music India’s foray into the Tamil movie industry (Kollywood) has created many landmarks and milestones with some of the most successful and prestigious projects. And in yet another pioneering initiative, Sony Music India announced the global launch and world premiere of A.R. Rahman’s most-anticipated and awaited soundtrack from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa – meaning ‘Will you cross the skies for me?’ – and abbreviated to VTV. What takes public anticipation to new heights is the fact that this is the first Tamil album from A.R. Rahman after his double Academy Award win and just before the Grammy Awards – scheduled for February 10. VTV stars Silambarasan (Simbhu) – touted as the next superstar in Kollywood – and beautiful Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The film is directed by Gautham Menon (whose previous Tamil film Vaaranam Aayiram was a critical, commercial and musical blockbuster with songs released by Sony Music). At the sneak music preview of VTV held in London on 19th December 2009, the entire cast and crew (including A.R. Rahman, Gautham Menon, Simbhu, Trisha and all the singers) were present. About this music preview, Gautham Menon said, “London was a great experience. We had a live unplugged performance of all the songs by the singers who have sung in the album. The audience, mostly English, loved the music. Everybody felt it sounded very international, which was hardly surprising, considering it was music by A.R. Rahman. The intention was to reach and test the music on an international audience. We achieved more than that. We plan to do a road show with all the singers now. This was a first of it's kind show. Now the expectation about the film is tremendous and the pressure is on me now.” The music of VTV will be released physically on CDs and cassettes across the world and via Amazon.com for online buyers. Digitally, VTV music will be available on iTunes, Nokia Store, and iPhone application from the first week of January. This unique activity for VTV will be executed through an iPhone music application (app) which will allow users to stream and listen to the complete songs, download the songs, wallpapers and other movie-related information. This initiative, a first-in-the- world for an iPhone application entirely based on movie OST by Sony Music, is the result of the joint efforts by Sony Music Entertainment India and DCI Mobile Studios, a leading Chennai-based software and mobile applications developer, a division of Galatta.com. The service will be available to all registered users of iPhone apps across the world. A user will be charged $1.99 for downloading the application, facilitating unlimited streaming of the songs from the album and $2.99 to download the whole album. Galatta.com has also taken steps to restrict unauthorized sharing of the content through this unique application. A user who downloads the songs on his iPhone or iPod will not be able to transfer it to any other (meaning unauthorized) device. Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, Sony Music India, said, “Sony Music has always been at the forefront of redefining music marketing. This initiative, which is a first in India, will enable a savvy generation of smart phone users to access streamed audio feeds over an active data connection. Our efforts have always been to make the music reach its audience as, when, and how they want to enjoy it. We are quite certain that A.R. Rahman’s fans and lovers of his music will enjoy his genius through this application.” Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Girish Ramdas (President, Galatta.com) said, “At Galatta.com, we recognize that mobile applications are a very personal medium and should fulfill end-users’ desire to stream in personal choice of audio content wherever they are; the iPhone is an ideal vehicle for monetizing Sony’s content. This app will fulfill the dream of mobile subscribers for easy access to the highly-anticipated film’s songs and get to listen to the genius A.R. Rahman. The movie will be released in the second week of February 2010. http://tamil. galatta.com/ entertainment/ livewire/ id/Vinnaithaandi _Varuvaaya_ songs_on_ iPhone_powered_ by_DCI_Mobile_ Studios_34073. html

Well, it just goes out to be an understatement if we all declare A.R.Rahman sir as [b]The Man Of The Decade[/b] in the entertainment category. Raining Filmfares, Padmashree, Doctorates, Lata Mangeshkar Awards, National Awards, State Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs,Swaralaya Yesudas Awards, Grammy Nominations and above all the Oscar Academy awards,not withstanding, Rahman sir clearly won millions and trillions of hearts across the globe. I, personally consider that more than those aforementioned awards, its the love among the hearts of people that has made what Rahman sir is today! Lets all rewind back to his illustrious works and corresponding achievements of the decade 2000 - 2009: 2000 1) Alaipayuthey (Tamil) -- A Manirathnam - Rahman Sir Combination Classic Runaway hit! -- Won Filmfare South Best Music Director Award 2) Fiza (Hindi) -- Graced the movie as a guest composer and composed an anthem Qawwali Piya Haji Ali which no one would ever forget 3) Kandukondain Kandukondain (Tamil) -- A Musical Superhit in Rajeev Menon - Rahman Sir combination after Minsaara Kanavu 4) Rhythm (Tamil) -- A sugary sweet and simple composition by Sir 5) Thenali (Tamil) -- A laugh riot flick in the combination of Rahman Sir - Kamal Haasan - K.S.Ravikumar 6) Zubeidaa (Hindi) -- A classic periodical love story by Shyam Benegal.It was ARR's signature tunes that stood up in the movie and well received! 2001 1) One 2 Ka 4 (Hindi) -- Movie turned out to be damp squib despite the presence of most influential people: ARR Sir and Shah Rukh Khan 2) Star (Tamil) -- Rahman sir re-used most of his Thakshak and 1947-Earth tunes onto this one.The response was moderate though! 3)Naayak (Hindi) -- Remake of Tamil Hit Mudhalvan, the same songs were re-used and the response was great! 4)Lagaan (Hindi) -- One of the most successful Cinemas in the film industry, Rahman sir proved the world that there is no one to replace him in period films. -- ARR swept away almost all awards for the year National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction 5) Paarthale Paravasam (Tamil) -- Hugely anticipated movie of the year since it was legendary director K.Balachander's 100th flick! Songs were well received but the movie sank without a trace! 6) Alli Arjuna (Tamil) -- Another masala flick which had tunes of Pukar, 1947 Earth and One 2 Ka 4 all mixed together. Both the songs and film was soon forgotten since all felt that the songs have already been heard before in Hindi! 2002 1)Kannathil Muthammital (Tamil) -- The year began with a bang with Rahman sir teaming up again with Manirathnam. The result: A Megahit venture! --ARR was again the most favourite among the award presenters National Award for the best Music Direction Filmfare South Award for the best Music Direction 2)Saathiya (Hindi) -- A hit remake of the Tamil classic hit Alaipayuthey -- Songs became a rage among masses and classes with ARR grabbing : Filmfare Award for the best Music Direction Bollywood Movie Award for the best Music Direction IIFA Award for the best Music Direction Zee Cine Award for the best Music Direction MTV Immies Award for the best Music Direction 3) The Legend Of Bhagath Singh (Hindi) -- A revolutionary concept by Rajkumar Santoshi -- Songs and BGMs ruled the music world while the movie bombed due to the interventions of too many movies with the same concept released simultaneously. ARR also received the Filmfare Best Background Music Award for his soul stirring BGMs. 4) Baba (Tamil) -- A mega hyped Rajinikanth starrer which made Rahman sir adapt to Rajni's stardom style. The result was just moderate and movie went disastrous! 5) Kaadhal Virus (Tamil) -- A breezy romantic flick which arrived and departed very quietly without making any news! Only hardcore Rahmaniacs cherish the album till date! 6)Bombay Dreams (English) -- The first

But when it comes to spiritual songs, he likes to leave them untainted by not adding a lots of bells and whistles and rely heavily on the core melody itself. I don't think any other music director (in Bollywood, if not in India) has given us more spiritual songs than the maestro. I like to call them spiritual songs, as opposed to religious or devotional, because although majority of these songs have either Islamic or Hindu flavor, I find them universally appealing and elevating. Here's a list of my favorites from this genre: * Khwaja Mere Khwaja – Jodha Akbar This song was dedicated to the Hidalwali (Saint of India) Khwaja Ghareeb-un-Nawaz, and was rendered by A R Rahman himself. He one mentioned in an interview that this song is very close to his heart, and you can feel his sincerity in the way he has sung this beautiful song. The soul stirring instrumental (Oboe) version of this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. [Trivia: The lyrics of this song were not written by Javed Akhar - who wrote all other songs of this movie - but by someone named Kashif.] * Arziyan – Delhi 6 Backed by harmonium, tabla and continual gentle claps, this mesmerizing qawwali is like an ode to the Islamic culture of Old Delhi. Javed Ali, along with Kailash Kher, does full justice to Prasoon Joshi's meaningful lyrics and A R Rahman's magical tune. * Piya Haji Ali – Fiza This was the first Sufi-style qawwali that A R Rahman composed for a movie. For Khuda ke vali (God's friend) Haji Ali, to be specific. Shaukat Ali's beautiful lyrics give a glimpse of how Islam, the monotheist religion, has blended with the local cultures in India: Yahaan hindu muslim sikh isaai faiz paate hai. [Trivia: This song was performed by Ghulam Mustafa brothers, Srinivas and A R Rahman. Can you identify which lines are sung by Srinivas?] Apart from the obvious Sufi semblance, muqaddar/taqdeer/kismat is another connecting link between the aforementioned songs: Arziyan (Marammat muqaddar ki kar do maula), Khwaja Mere Khwaja (Bekasoor ki taqdeer, tune hai saNwaari) and Piya Haji Ali (Bigadi kismat aap ke dar par saNwarti hai). * Al Maddath Maula – Mangal Pandey: The Rising Unlike the three songs mentioned above, this one has a high tempo, an adrenaline rush and a dark tone of impending calamity. Murtuza, Qadir and Kailash Kher sing this song with a fervor, with intermittent devout spine-tingling calls to maula by A R Rahman. [Trivia: Murtaza and Qadir are the same Ghulam Mustafa brothers from Piya Haji Ali. They also accompanied A R Rahman in Tere Bina from Guru, and rendered 'Doston se joothi-moothi' in Chupke Se song from Saathiya.] * O Paalanhaare – Lagaan There are actually two versions of this song. One sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Udit Narayan, and the other with an additional female singer. It's the latter version that was used in the movie (to distinguish the lines picturized on Gauri and Bhuvan's mother). But I prefer the former one, with Lata's aging yet divine voice accompanied by mellifluous flute and subtle sounds of temple bells. Here's the version that was used in the movie. * Noor-Un-Ala-Noor – Meenaxi Written by the great painter and inept director, M F Hussain, this addictive qawwali raised a controversy because some Muslims got offended (I think the song uses a phrase from Quran to praise the beauty of a mere mortal: Meenaxi). And guess who are the singers of this qawwali? Murtaza and Qadir again! * Man Mohana – Jodha Akbar As I wrote in my review of Jodha Akbar's music, add Mira's pangs of separation (from Krishna) to Radha's passion (for him) and you get the recipe for this devotional song. The way Bela Shende has rendered this bhajan - her unflattering voice and command over the highs and lows of the song leaves you wondering why she doesn't get more offers as a singer. (Isn't Kangna Re from Paheli is her only other song?) * Ek Tu Hi Bharosa – Pukar Lata and A R Rahman joined hands only four times, and the result is always breathtaking. The tune of this song was originally composed for a concert in Malaysia and later used for this movie. * Zikr – Bose: The Forgotten Hero This song

It more sounds like a studio version (work in progress) - unclear vocals, boomy sounds for chiggy wiggy (which is muffling the instrument before Sonu starts singing).

[arr] Great Singers Never to Have Sung For Rehman
Hi, It was when i was listening to Lukka Chupi (Rang De Basanti) by Lata Mangeshkar that a thought struck me of the great singers who have / could not sing for Rahman, and how would his compositions have been if they were to sing for them. One singer i would have loved to listen would be MS Subbalakshmi singing to his tunes. Considering the magic that he created for Lata Mangeshkar in Tu hi bharosa and luka chipi, it would have been a remarkable combination, with Rahman using MS's subtle gamakams into his composition. Would like to know your views as well... Hope this was not discussed earlier. -- Arun Krishnan

I also was surprised at the Rehna Tu. Though I had already read in this list that this song was to be on father Rishi and Son Abhishek, which was not exactly how the characters were related in the film, but it was parallel enough. Rishi being Abhishek's mom's silent lover 25 year ago can be considered like father to him. The lyrics seems quite odd at places conveying a much greater intimacy than is possible between two persons who had never met till then in their life. Firstly, it was not clear where Abhishek was thinking of changing, which might have prompted Rishi to suggest him not to change. But all that, Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Bheegna Ghul Jana, Mujhe Teri Lapat Mein Jalna, Raakh Ho Jana, appear strikingly odd for a father-son relationship. In India, whatever be the friendship and understanding and belongingness between a father and a son, this relation is always a serious one. So, these figures of speech don't go well. All that Tu Zakhm De agar, Zakhm pe bhi mujhko pyar aaye, dariya o dariya doobne de mujhe dariya mein sound so odd. there is no occassion of Abhishek hurting Rishi, while doobna in dariya is more a concept between lovers than between a father and son. I find this song more suitable for a friend motivating a friend. There are echo of lyrics in the song, that could be counted as an effect, but at around 4:40, I find some female voice also joining, that was unexplainable on the Rishi - Abhishek. And whatever prasoon tried to explain in that haath thaam chalna ho, to dono ke daye hath sang kaise, ek daya hoga, ek baya hoga, tham le, hath ye tham le, chalna sang tham le. that went above my head. Even Mehboob, PK Mishra's such explanations sounded much more short and natural. Even Javed Akhtar's such explanations are more directly related. Could anyone explain plz. You spelled it absolutely right. It would have been better if the song's tone was changed from between two males to from a male to a female and that was Abhishek singing (may be in background) for Sonam character in the film who was under a lot of pressure in the film to change. or, a in female voice it could have been Sonam's idol finale song for Abhishek when he was under a lot of confusion and pressure. -- It only proves that most of film directors are just not capable of visualizing proper placement and piturization of ARR's more subtle songs. The ending 2 min musical piece in this song appears so soothing - like when ARR was giving separate instrumental pieces in albums. -- Rawat Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Date: Thursday, February 19, 2009, 2:57 PM Is it ARR or Benny?? the below mail has confused me too much. i am head to toe in love with this out of the world song and cannot bear to know that it is Benny and not ARR who sings the marvelous rehna tu parts (including the thoda sa resham) . i wonder how can i be so wrong in identifying ARR's voice. to me it is 100% ARR's voice. so please someone clarify is it ARR or not?? by the way if it is not, i.e., all rehna tu parts are sung by Benny (which also means Benny starts the song), then why ARR is listed as first/lead singer of the song, should not it be Benny?? --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, Jahanzeb Farooq jahanzebtippu@ ... wrote: what?? it is not ARR who sings rehnaa tu throughout the song?? i cannot believe this. and by this you mean it is not ARR who starts the song as well?? because it starts with rehna tu? and this also means it is ARR who sings the thoda sa resham. section as it follows right after rehna tu? i am hell confused. please clarify. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. . com, Shah Navas shahnavas.arr@ wrote: The obvious faults in Rahman's Hindi diction are always overshadowed by the sheer sincerity in his singing. That he turns *rehanaa tuu* into *rainaa tuu* hardly matters when there are so many interesting elements dotting the canvas. Rahman sings the line *rehanaa tu* only once at 3:40, otherwise it's Benny who sings those lines throughout. And Rahman's diction was perfect when he sings it, while Benny's is subdued and in a good way. For a change I actually liked Benny's way of singing more than Rahman's in this song.
