[kumar0305]

Danny Boyle, an English filmmaker came up with the much appreciated 
film 'Slumdog Millionaire' with the background score of India's very 
own A. R. Rahman. The film was about a poor Mumbai youth who takes 
part in a game show to win the first prize and eventually become a 
millionaire.

The London Critics Association has lauded A. R. Rahman's talent by 
awarding him the prestigious London Critics Award for the year 2008.

'I am happy with this award and I'd like to credit Danny Boyle for 
extracting appropriate music from me. Danny has been so meticulous 
with his work that both of us have become friends now', said Rahman.

A. R. Rahman with his incredible talent is truly going international.

[arr] Shame on Rahman... IBNLIVE

[kumar0305]

You all were sending me crape emails, moderator is not posting any of my
post because I said " Whats wrong with you Rahman". I know moderator  is
not going to post this one too, but he will read this, I hope.
Now what are you guys going to do. Being fans don't mean you support
every thing you idol makes, when its bad try to accept it.


Masand's Verdict: Yuvvraaj doesn't hit the right note

The dialogue is a mix of clunky lines that make you cringe in
embarrassment, and a bunch of unintentionally hilarious gems that will
make you laugh every time you think of the film. Like that priceless
scene in which Katrina scolds Salman for being an insensitive son to his
father: Jo bete ne apne baap ki shakal sapne mein bhi na dekhi ho, woh
beta nahin, woh hardcore anti-family man hai.

There was a slim chance the film might not have hurt this bad if the
acting was any better, but to think the stars of this film were paid
crores of rupees to put up this show makes you realise that indeed life
is unfair. Salman Khan does pretty much as he pleases, walking in and
out of scenes as if he were at home, never mindful of the fact that he's
playing a character here and that some consistency in performance is
expected of him. He just about scrapes through the comedy with a few
light moments, but completely fails to touch your heart in the film's
emotional scenes.

Zayed Khan struggles through even basic scenes in the film, unable to
alter his expressions in keeping with the film's needs, yelling when
he's expected to be intense, and looking away in exasperation each time
he can't come up with a more fitting reaction. A crash course in acting
at Ghai's own Whistling Woods Film School might not be such a bad idea
for Zayed.

Katrina Kaif looks lovely and makes an earnest attempt in the acting
department too -- in a film like this, that's plenty effort. Boman Irani
hams it up as Katrina's doctor dad, and turns in what is sure to be one
of his career's most embarrassing performances.

And then there's Anil Kapoor whose character I had difficulty
understanding - was he autistic, was he blind, did he have arthritis? I
never did get it in the end because of the strange mannerisms and quirks
Anil brought to his performance. And yet, it's the only performance in
the film where some competence is visible.

Ghai spares no efforts in giving Yuvvraaj a fancy feel, there's pleasing
photography and spunky choreography on display, but AR Rahman's
soundtrack throws up only three good tracks which is a shame considering
the film's designed as a musical.

Yuvvraaj doesn't quite hit the right note because it's an archaic drama
that feels too tired. Barring a handful of vintage Subhash Ghai moments
that still work, the film sadly is far from his best work.

I'm going with one out of five for director Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj, I'd
much rather watch Hero or Karmaall over again.

Re: [arr] Yuvvraaj - Rahmaniacs stay away :-x

I agree, and that's what i had in my review. And every one was so upset.

[arr] Re: YUVRAAJ MUSIC

[kumar0305]

I agree.

For the people who says " Rahman music grows as you keep listing to
it"... Please.

Like the famous phrase "Neem tree leaves will taste sweet as you keep
eating it"  even though it is sour because its good for your health.

But Rahman songs are not sour. They are always sweet, and they have
been. Only in the resent years they are not.

That Growing thing is for others like Vishal-shake..etc.. Not for
Rahman.

Thanks

more apt and suiting for that role.  In all of my stories, such as
Kadhalan, Jeans and other such lighter love movies, you can see a
certain super heroism, larger than life.you can see those types of
characters; those have become super hero driven stories.  If you take
any of those, whether Rajni Sir had starred or whether Kamal Sir had
starred, they would have been excellent.  So that is the question of
whether we begin with an artist or whether we begin with a story.but
in terms of this movie (Sivaji), I was thinking about Rajni Sir when I
came up with this story. (Shooting Clips Shown)

certain expectations of him in movies, you have to satisfy those
requirements.  And another thing, because he is there, there are
certain advantages, for instance you cannot take on certain issues
with some other heroes...so because of that, there are no limits to my
creative imagination, but if I placed those same issues on all artists
it just would not work out, so when I approach these issues with him
there it is be quite interesting.for example, in the "Athiradee" song,
you can witness what I'm saying, you cannot do all of those things we
have done in the song with any other hero.so there are many plus
points like that, but of course there are pressures as well, for
instance you cannot change him too much, but then again, people also
expect to see some change in my movies.so essentially, you have to
give and not give.have to reach a certain balance, so it was both
enjoyable and demanding, but finally, I think have solved those
issues. (Shooting Clips Shown)

of you are collaborating together - this Sivaji movie is whose movie?
