I didn't heard such a  news..may be for publicity the producers put 
the news..because 'harikrishnans' was  a movie that which 2 superstars 
mammooty and mohanlal rejoins after a long time... Anyway the movie 
hadn't any musical scope for arrahman.Recently MACTA announced a movie 
and told to the media that ar rahman will score the music..That's also 
a publicity stunt beacase even the movie didn't started yet and MACTA 
dispersed..
>But For the Movie 'Kalapani' ar rahaman was signed up first but 
as per javed akhtar's disicion AR signed an another movie on the same 
time...i think that's a lose by rahamn..Kalapani had been ample scope 
in music and BGM.

[arr] "Rahman is essentially the soul of Rang De Basanti ".....Rakyesh Mehra

2006-01-19 Thread muneer
What can you tell us about the music of the film?
 
For me the music of Rang De Basanti, philosophically is like the 
soul of the film. Rahman has been a very influencing factor in the 
way the movie has shaped up. Not only in terms of the music, but I 
have discussing the film with him since three years. I've been 
wanting to work with him since the past five years. I discussed 
various subjects with him, but then he heard Rang De Basanti. The 
fact that Rahman saw something special in my story made me think. He 
has interpreted the music of the film in a certain way and has 
juxtaposed the story with the sound. He is essentially the soul of 
Rang De Basanti and Prasoon Joshi has given it a voice. Prasoon is 
extremely talented and a true poet. His poetry touches you deep 
down. Commercially, I believe the album is selling like hot cakes! 
It is doing well without the help of major promos. Our marketing 
plan is yet to roll out. In fact, today is the first day that I am 
giving interviews for the film. The music holds on its own and it 
has given us an impetus to release the film.

[arr] Water Review by Indiafm

2005-12-26 Thread muneer
By Joginder Tuteja, December 26, 2005 - 13:57 IST

 Deepa Mehta's 'Water' finally sees the light of the day. As an 
opening film of the 30th annual Toronto International Film, it has 
been back in news after it was stopped from being shot in India 
years back. Third in the trilogy after Fire and Earth, 'Water' is 
director Deepa Mehta's long cherished dream that has finally been 
realized after a wait for number of years. Produced by David 
Hamilton, 'Water' was secretly shot in Sri Lanka and stars John 
Abraham, Lisa Ray, Seema Biswas, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Waheeda 
Rehman, Raghuvir Yadav and Baby Sarala in principal roles. Just 
like 'Fire' and 'Earth', A.R. Rehman gives music for 'Water' as 
well. 

Sukhwinder Singh begins 'Aayo Re Sakhi' in his trademark semi-
classical rendition and just when you start thinking that the track 
would pump up its tempo, Rehman throws a surprise by keeping the 
pace consistent. There are very limited musical instruments in the 
background that makes 'Aayo Re Sakhi' a kind of number that deserves 
to be heard with more attention. A soothing rhythmic track with a 
strong classical base to it, it has a female singer joining 
Sukhwinder after the song is about half way through. Lyrics are 
poetic that convey the message of love, happiness, celebration and 
above all – freedom. 

A song with a Radha-Krishan background, 'Bangri Marorii' has a 
rather strong classical base with again vocals doing all the talking 
(literally) with little or no music playing in the background. And 
this is where Rehman wins in creating a much desired effect by 
composing 'Bangri Marorii' in a manner that would be identifiable by 
people with strong understanding of music belonging to this genre. 
This is a kind of track that has a maximum impact when one wants to 
relax in dark isolation! 

 By the time 'Naina Neer Bahai' begins, you are well aware about the 
style of music that Deepa Mehta and Rehman have chosen for 'Water'. 
This number too is totally subtle in nature and has references to 
Meera-Krishna love. With great lyrics and some excellent singing, 
this slow moving song about selfless love and admiration is an even 
better composition when compared to the earlier too and is a must 
for the lovers of classical/semi-classical music. Ditto for 'Piya 
Ho' that moves at even leisurely pace and is a duet where Sukhwinder 
Singh comes in towards the end. 

'Bhang', 'nasha' and 'masti' are the key elements of the celebration 
song 'Sham Rang Mei' that appears to be a 'holi' song. Beautiful is 
the way to describe this duet that has an innocent feel to it. 
Lyrics too are different from numerous 'holi' tracks that have been 
composed over all these years and has a 'pure' feel to it. The album 
ends with one of the most popular 'bhajans' 'Vaishnava Jana To' that 
is known to one and all. 

One can almost sense Rehman's enjoyment over composing for 'Water' 
where he is not bound by commercial boundaries and has just let 
himself be free. He is completely uninhibited in his approach and 
comes up with a musical score that can be described in three words -
 'Pure', 'Honest' and 'True'! Will the music of 'Water' turn out to 
be a commercial success? Well, this is not the kind of an album that 
requires a verdict on such grounds as it belongs to a class that is 
over and beyond commercial diktats.

[arr] RDB-A must buy !!!!!!! Bollyvista Review!!

2005-12-19 Thread muneer
Rang De Basanti  
By Abid ©2005 Bollyvista.com  
  
It is celebration time yet again for the lovers of high quality 
classy music, as the musical genius A.R. Rahman is back with another 
album for the 'perfectionist ace Khan', better known as Aamir Khan . 
This time however he has Prasoon Joshi (and not the numero uno 
lyricist Javed Akhtar, wonder why?) penning down the lyrics for this 
modern patriotic film of a different kind. Rakeysh Mehra in his last 
movie 'Aks' had Anu Malik as the composer and he had given some 
scintillating numbers. But this time he opts for Rahman as he excels 
in this genre of music. 

We first have 'Ik Onkaar' (meaning the one God, the absolute 
reality) which boasts of an excellent rendition by Harshdeep. The 
approximate translation of this 'Gurbani' piece has to be 
understood. We give meaning within brackets. 

Ik Onkaar (The One, The Reality, Om), Sat Naam (Of name ever true 
and eternal) kartaa purakh (The prime doer, the creator), Nirbhau 
(Fearless) nervier (Without enmity), Akaal moorat (Of eternal form) 
ajooni (Without birth, Uncaused), Saibangh (Self-existent and Self-
illuminating) Gurparsaad (Known by the grace of the enlightened 
teacher) jap (Constantly repeat)." 

An auspicious beginning indeed! 
 
The title track, 'Rang De Basanti' has the Baadshah of Bhangra-Pop 
Daler Mehdi, teaming yet again with A.R. Rahman (after 'Lakeer') and 
the result is explosive! Daler's robust (at the same time full of 
energy and vigour) voice commences this absolutely amazingly 
rhythmic 'Bhangra' style number; forcing one to dance ('bhangra' 
style!) intoxicated with feelings of patriotism. 

The promos being aired on every channel introduces the album to the 
audience (with the superb piece of the commencing 'ektara' music). 
Trust Rahman to come up with something different - A 'bhangra' style 
patriotic song! Daler is amazing as he conveys the feeling of 
patriotism by mouthing Joshi's beautiful (simple) lyrics "Thodi si 
dhool meri dharti ki mere watan ki, Thodi si khushboo baurayee si 
mast pawan ki." 

A.R. Rahman gave us "Mera Rang De Basanti Chola" ('The Legend Of 
Bhagat Singh') but that was in a different league and for a 
different time. The title track of 'Rang De Basanti' literally 
sweeps one off their feet with its rhythm, musical arrangement and 
the excellent Daler, along with an adequate Chitra. It is an 
absolute stunner. What remains to be seen is whether it turns out to 
a chartbuster or not. 
 
In 'Paathshala' (meaning school) Naresh Iyer and Mohamed Aslam join 
hands to sing this absolutely humorous situational number. It will 
be identifiable for the youths of today and a nostalgia trip down 
the school/college days for all. A score that conveys the carefree, 
don't give a damn/rebellious attitude of Gen X. Lyrics are 
situational, apt and at times hilarious - " Loose control, Chehre ki 
kitaben hain, Hum woh padhne aate hain..… Yaaron ki equation hain, 
Love multiplication hain." 

The other version, 'Paathshala-Be a Rebel' has rapper Blaaze (first 
heard in 'Yuva' and recently in 'Barsaat') joining Aslam and Naresh. 
This time around he adopts a completely different rap style and 
gives an insight into India (via his rap!) and what it has to offer. 
It is totally different as only some portions of the 'mukhda' -
 "Loose control, I am a rebel" and "Apni to Pathshala, Masti ki 
Pathshala" are present in the second version. The English lyrics 
here are by Blaaze. 

Moving on to 'Tu Bin Bataye', it is a very slow paced, soft love 
ballad, sung superbly by Madhushree but Naresh Iyer's voice simply 
doesn't suit such numbers. In a way 'Tu Bin Bataye' is somewhat 
reminiscent of M. M. Kreem's 'Jadoo Hai Nasha Hai' ('Jism'). 
However, this song is not a patch on Kreem's composition, even with 
the addition of Rahman's crescendo (it does manage to salvage it 
somewhat). 
 
Next we have 'Khalbali' with the enigmatic A.R. Rahman singing in a 
very Arabic style and showing his class and maturity as singer 
(compared to his initial days). He has for company Aslam and Nacim 
who sings the Arabic verses. It is a superb dance number (again with 
a difference from the matchless Rahman) that should set the dance 
floors on fire, especially if it is picturized on Aamir Khan who 
will definitely do a terrific job. 

Mohit Chauhan sings 'Khoon Chala', an absolutely wonderful 
inspirational number with finesse coupled with emotions/feelings. 
The track is slow to begin with but the tempo is gradually 
heightened and ends with a trademark Rahman crescendo. The lyrics 
are yet again situational, though a bit abstract at times, but 
certainly delivers the message that a "Generation Has Awakened." 

The much talked about 'Luka Chupi' has Rahman teaming up for first 
time (as a singer) with his all time favourite, the ageless 
nightingale Lata Mangeshkar. It is basically a song that conveys the 
maternal feelings, the apprehensions and fears of a mother for her 
son, who just wan

2005-12-13 Thread muneer


By Joginder Tuteja, December 13, 2005 - 13:47 IST

 When 'Rang De Basanti' was launched, most of the people within and 
outside the industry believed that it is one of those patriotic/pre-
independence flicks. Also, one thought that it would mark the hat-
trick of films from such genre for Aamir Khan after 'Lagaan' 
and 'Mangal Pandey-The Rising' with a contemporary 'Dil Chahta Hai' 
in between. In contrast, the promos of this film by Rakeysh 
Omprakash Mehra (who had earlier directed the Amitabh Bachchan – 
Manoj Bajpai starrer 'Aks') tell a different tale as the movie 
appears to be cool'n'hip flick with a strong rustic background. Also 
starring Madhavan, Atul Kulkarni, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kapoor and 
Soha Ali Khan in important roles with veterans like Waheeda Rehman, 
Om Puri, Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher, this UTV production has music 
by A.R.Rehman (who also composed for Aamir Khan's Lagaan and Mangal 
Pandey) and lyrics by Prasoon Joshi who made waves for his work 
in 'Hum Tum' last year.
http://indiafm.com/movies/musicreview/12493/index.html

Album begins on a simple note with a quiet yet effective 'Ik Onkar' 
that has Harshdeep Kaur getting in a devotional mood. The track is 
quiet short and doesn't even last for 1 and a half minute, but it 
still paves for good things to come as the album progresses. 
Probably it was the intention for the people behind the album to 
begin it on an auspicious note and what better way than to have a 
Punjabi devotional track doing the honors! .

As expected, quick acceleration happens in the proceedings with 
Rehman getting into the fifth gear right away with the title 
song 'Rang De Basanti' coming up next. You have been waiting for THE 
song from Daler Mehendi for a long time? Well, the wait is over with 
the bhangra-king in the top form after a long time with this 
celebration song that doesn't attempt to be one of your typical 
punjabi-bhangra tracks! Instead it creates a style of its own with 
the song completely dominated by Mehendi at every level. Chitra 
comes in for some portion of the song as well but her presence is 
akin to an actor doing a cameo in films. A vibrant number that truly 
brings with it 'punjab-ki-khushbu', it is (as expected) highly foot 
tapping and would be lapped by people from north to south, east to 
west across the country. .

 Newcomers Naresh Iyer and Mohamed Aslam unite for 'let's have a 
party yaar' kind of a number 'Paathshala' that has A.R.Rehman 
written all over it. A rhythm based western number; it belongs to a 
style that one must have heard in number of Tamil college flicks 
that had music by Rehman. A fine number, it would be interesting to 
see 40 year old Aamir Khan get back to his college going fun ways 
for this youthful number. The song, that also appears in another 
version as 'Paathshala – Be A Rebel' with Blaaze joining Mohamed 
Aslam and Naresh Iyer, is based on college, campus and hostel life 
with everyone being carefree about things surrounding them. .

Things turn poetic with 'Tu Bin Bataye' that maintains an amazing 
tempo in entirety with not a note getting wayward at any point of 
time. There are no ups and downs and has a plain simple melody with 
a constant flow that works marvelously due to Madhushree's vocals. 
She had done wonders earlier too for 'Kabhi Neem Neem,' [Yuva] 
and 'Hum Hain Is Pal' [Kisna] with A.R.Rehman and she repeats the 
feat with 'Tu Bin Bataye' that can easily be a lesson for many who 
wish to know more about the essence of Indian melody. The best song 
of the album so far with great lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, it amazingly 
adds on an instrument or two as it progresses along. By the time 
Naresh Iyer as a male voice is introduced and the song is about to 
reach its end, you realize many more nuances about the track. In one 
word – marvelous! .

After a song deep rooted in Indian melody, it's time to move middle-
east with 'Khalbali' that has A R Rahman, Mohamed Aslam and Nacim 
[who also writes Arabic lyrics] coming together behind the mike. 
This song is a typical example of how Rehman music works. As like 
most of his tracks, this too takes time to grow and though it 
doesn't reach the dazzling heights to be a big time hit, it makes an 
impression as you hear it a few times. Credit it to Rehman's multi-
piece orchestra that saves the song from turning out to be just an 
also-ran! .

No! 'Khoon Chala' is not one of your tracks that you can hear on 
while working on something else! If you really want to enjoy the 
song in its totality, then hear it very close to your ear, probably 
with a headphone, and with complete concentration. This situational 
song is quite slow and completely belongs to Mohit Chauhan [from the 
band Silk Route] who does a wonderful rendition. With a strong 
melodious base, it belongs to Indi-pop variety and should be there 
in the movie for a right moment. .

 Lata Mangsehskar and Rehman join each other for 'Luka Chupi', which 
is about a mother's call for h

[arr] Aamir khan sings in Rangde Basanthi..

2005-04-29 Thread muneer
Aamir sings and dances with Daler
28th Apr 2005  12.17 IST 
By Agencies  

Aamir Khan will be seen `shaking a leg' in a dance number sung by 
himself with Punjabi pop star Daler Mehandi in his forthcoming film 
Rang De Basanti.

Daler danced with Amitabh Bachchan in Mrityudaata and with Juhi 
Chawla in Arjun Pandit .


 

And Aamir sang the famous Khandala number in Ghulam and then lend 
his voice to a song in Sarfarosh .

But in Rang De Basanti, Aamir found it difficult to dance with Daler.

Reports say that while Daler followed the dance steps quickly and 
without much difficulty, Aamir took four hours to okay this shot.

Not that Aamir is a bad dancer (remember Rangeela ?). It is just 
that the `perfectionist' that he is, he wanted to be satisfied with 
his performance in every way.

Aamir plays a radio jockey in Rang De Basanti , which tells the 
story of an American girl who comes to India to make a documentary 
on martyr Bhagat Singh.

The film is being made in two languages – Hindi and English (Paint 
It Yellow).

Back in tune 
IndiaGlitz 
Thursday, April 21, 2005 
 
 
 
A R Rahman, who was out of action for a while in Kollywood is making 
a comeback with Godfather starring Ajith. Being directed by K S 
Ravikumar, the movie has six songs.

Interestingly, Rahman has also rendered his voice for a song in the 
movie. It's been a long time since Rahman sung a number in Kollywood 
that too to lyrics penned by Vairamuthu.

Rahman is also scoring music for the movie A Aah being directed by S 
J Suryah. 

Rahman says "since I was busy with my commitments in Bollywood and a 
Chinese film, I was not able to commence any project here. However 
with Godfather and A Aah, I am back here".

Rahman is scoring the music for Aamir Khan starrer Rang de Basanthi 
too. In tune again, you can say that loudly.
