Re: [arr] ARR Database Interface Design
Thanks Guys, I'll be designing the other search query pages according to the criteria of singers, directors, year etc, and will be asking for the feedback. Please note that i can help in design purpose only, not very good at coding. I am sure that the friends here are well qualified for this job. I'll do my best with what i know.

Re: [arr] Why the past songs are better
Roshan, Frankly speaking when i see the heading, I though again somebody starting the old better and new lost charm discussion.. again. And other members wil join it and will be a long mail thread. But i am glad when i read it. It was really good and you said exactly what i feel. Its the nostalgic feel of momemts which we associate with a particular song which makes it special and likable. I myself had these memories. I remember going to my best friends house, who is a punjabi and he said, listen to this album and he played Rangeela I cant tell u the feeling when i heard that beats and songs. It was simple anything i had heard before. though expected from Rahman as i was hearing his songs since roja, but the moment come unexpected. On my way back to home, i had new Cassette of Rangeela. I feel people always have this old is gold concept in their mind. let the new songs become old, then they will also be likable and nobody will say its not soul less. Great post buddy.

Though I don't agree with them I have my favorites from the past. Not just from Rahman. From all the composers, musicians and singers. But the fact is that it is not because the songs were better in the past. it is because we always hold on to our past. be it songs, incidents, falling in love, breakups, marraige functions, first job, college graduation, a great friend.. the whole life. We always think that past was somehow better. We are always worried about the future. don't we cherish memories from our childhood and teenage ? It is the same with songs. when we hear an old song, it triggers memories of incidents, people, happiness or sadness that we related to that particular song. Beatles' Yesterday is an absolute favorite of mine. there are plenty of great songs even better than that one. but it brings me back the memory of a great time had in Brunei when I got my first job there in 2003. That is when I started listening to international artistes often and on top of that I was in love. And, when I hear it now, it gives makes me feel like I have lost something but, in reality I haven't. I love Tanha Tanha from rangeela a lot. it is a great song, musically. But the reason I love it the most is because that is when I got my first portable cassette player (Videocon Walkman) along with a cassette of rangeela as a gift. I did my schooling in a hostel, and I became a popular kid because I had a walkman. lots of kids would come to our dormitory to listen to the songs. So, we put some money together and bought a speaker and placed it on top of a cardboard box with a hole in it, so the rest of the kids can hear it. I was so excited. because not only I got more friends, I was doing something with electronics stuff.. cutting the earphones and connecting the wires to the speaker, making the sound go louder with just one cardboard box with a hole! I felt like I was Einstein! now, when I hear that song.. it brings back memories of my friends, that cardboard box, that videocon walkman, and my great school and teachers. We all talk about how great the classics were. we regard RD Burman, Noushad, Ilaya Raja and the whole lot of great musicians as the best and some people even compare them with today's musicians and talk about how music has lost its soul. It hasn't lost any soul. it is because those people related to their most cherished memories when they hear their favorites. give today's music another 20 to 30 years and we will be talking about how great the 2010's music were. It is same for AR Rahman. the reason why some of you think that ar rahman created better music in 90s is because you were probably teenagers or children during that time and probably were having the greatest times of your life. there were lots of things happening, experiencing new things.. and probably ar rahman's music even helped you a lot at that time. and when you hear it now, you are taken back to that golden era of your life. try to understand that fact before saying ar rahman's music lost the soul. it only means that you have grown up, you have become more experienced, aged and wiser ( and probably grayer and fatter - no offense, just for fun.). get into the mindset of a teenager again and see if you all can enjoy the Kala Bandar and Jai Ho and Fiqraana and even Enthiran. I bet you will. sorry about the long post :) --- http://roshanravi.com http://ramblingsoul.com http://cssheaven.org

Re: [arr] Re: Rahman has a Divine Face - Subhash Ghai
Totally agree with you jiban. We have to look forward. Dil se .. Bombay ..

Lagaan, Saathiya, Earth 47, Sapnay, Rangeela etc are class 2. JA, JTYJN, RDB, Guru etc are class 3.

Giving it further thought, I feel that Taal/ yuvraaj music are sort of commercialized , that is how ghai wanted it to be, whereas all Mani's albums have a purity, an innocence, a composed-for- the-listener, -not-composed- for-market feel in them.

[arr] Lyrics First ... Music Second .. or Vice Versa?
Hi all, There has been an ongoing discussions that yesteryear music directors makes music according to lyrics given to them and not vice versa that they give a tune to the lyricist to fill in with words..And nowadays the later is practiced more.. Listen to the track MASTAM MASTAM mainly , and you can clearly feel the music is weaved around the lyrics, keeping the lyrics at the core. The lyrics never stick to the traditional pattern and ARR had done magic with that keeping his music to flow along with the lyrics. This shows why Rahman is in league with great music directors India has produced..SD, RD..Shankar - Jaikishan, OP Nayyar etc.. And i would like to point out an interesting thing.. i hope you all noticed and feeled.. in the same track.. when the words come kahega zamaana .. oo.. suneega zamaana, you are transferred to the 50's era..for these few seconds.. amazing.. No copying.. nothing.. but pure transformation.. Back to the main topic.. what you guys thing about it.. ARR Rules.. Always. Rakesh
Re: [arr]Review Comments
Hi all, Came across this review and the fun part is the comments. u'll enjoy it. http://harryjerry.com/music/review-yuvvraaj-soundtrack/ in between my thoughts : Yuvraaj is in altogether different league and cannot compare it with Taal. Frankly first hearing was OK. Now can't get enough of it. Yesterday the song was played continuously on my player the whole day.Still have urge to listen. Those who started writing the review after the first hearing..i hope they had their lips sealed now. Who can give such a diverse music. First the Historical in Jodha Akbar and jump straight to complete Gen X album JTYJN and now symphony orchestration loaded Yuvraaj. Looking forward to a knockout Ghajini What more one want. .. Obviously more song or better say gems from ARR. ARR Rules.. Always. Rakesh __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Hi all Rehmaniacs, I am a die hard Rehman fan and member of this group for quite a long time and occasionally i write my comments. But i check the emails everyday. But in recent times i have seen a trend coming up in this group that some members question the ability of ARR. Look guys i don't have to tell you what ARR is but its really annoying that someone will have a keeda ( sorry, i couldn't find a better word.) and he says Yuvan is better than ARR, HJ is better than ARR.. HR better..ARR Losing touch..This album not good.. that album was better.. and all that crap..and sorry to say our members fans that small spark to make it a full fledged discussion of sort.. I also like other MD's work and appreciate it when a song is good but never thought that this will de-thorn ARR. Even ARR like other MD's work (recent ex.. he likes Maula Mere Maula from Anwar by Mithoon) If somebody think that ARR has lost his touch and he is not delivering.., then my humble request is plz take your belongings(likings on other MD's..) and join their respective community.. I love it when the members discuss which is the best classical song by ARR, what we felt when we first heard this song and that album.. Com on guys we should discuss all this .. The man..

Re: [arr] Flashes of Extraordinary Brilliance
Hi all This is one topic every member in this group should reply and share. Thanks to Ajit for bringing up this topic. There are two instances when i was completely bowled over by Rehman. It was not in his early days. I have done most of my schooling in North India. I was amazed by Roja, Kadhalan, Bombay and liked ARR very much. But In my heart i was waiting for the first Hindi project of ARR. Yes..Rangeela. I clearly remembers. Those were my exam days and after the last exam, i was very happy as everybody else. After School a friend of mine invited me to come to his home for lunch as he stays near by the school. I was sitting in the drawing room and he said that this new movie had come and the songs are really good. I did not know that Rangeela music has released. There was no day-to-day update of music releases and film releases things like that back then.. He played the songs and I was speech less from the first song itself. First come Rangeela Re, Then Hai Rama, Then Yaroon sun lo Zara..Then Rangeela Theme. Side B started with Kya karen ke na karen, Pyar Yeh jaane kaisa hai and last Mangta Hai Kya I was not believing what i am hearing. I still could not express the feeling while hearing Mangta Hai Kya. If i am correct it was the first song sung by ARR ? His voice, shweta shetty's voice, the music arrangements.Whew !! All my life i have heard hindi songs with Tabla, Harmonium, Jhankar beats and this was totally out of this world. I heard the complete songs atleast 5 times at my friends place and before reaching home i have bought the Cassette so that my brother can also hear. The other instance is of Chaiyya Chaiyya. I was in punjab and we dont have access to cable. But in the stereo system we hear a program at 8:15 every morning, playing 30 sec and me and my brother will wait every morning to hear the songs from Dil se. One more i would like to mention is AE's Jana Gana Mana..The beats of the song is awseome. and i was stunned by the glass breaking effect at the start of the song. I didn't liked the hindi version, mainly bcoz of the lyrics. Guys though all the instance when hearing rehman new song is a new experience altogether. we are really blessed to live in Rehmans Era.

[arr] Lagaan - A Classic
Hi all, Though this may seems a bit late but yesterday i watched Lagaan after a long time. What to say about the movie. I was watching it in my bedroom with the newly installed 5:1 surround sound. And i must tell you, It was pure magic. I couldn't find any single scene where i would say yeh kya hai yaar which happens in most of the films. Each scene, each character, each dialogues is so thought out and fresh that you really marvel the creativity of the director. You are so absorbed in the proceedings that you don't see it as a movie. you watch as is all happening in real and you are overlooking their struggle, fight and the ultimate triumph. In every aspect the film excels.. AND NOW ABOUT THE MUSIC.. I clearly remember the first time i have seen the promo. I was in delhi at my friends home and we were chatting and the TV was on. We are into our conversation and suddenly the promo comes. though we were not watching the tv, the sound Ghanan Ghanan and everybody started looking towards the TV. naztitude [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Band member and lead vocalist of 13AD-speaks on his experineces with arr, his principles, values and professionalism.

Most of the songs have yet to be picturised. Ashutosh Gowariker,who's currently shooting in Karjat,was unavailable for comments. There have been logistics n financial problems hence the release may be postponed. Another reason is that many big banner movies will be releasing during Diwali like Saanwariya,Laga Chunri mein Daag,Aaja Nachley,etc.No official date has been declared yet but the delay in release is unavoidable.

Re: [arr] Mani goes ahead with Laajo
If this is real. then really a great news. Combo of Mani-Arr-Aamir will rock.Check our for this album guys. Arr Rules Rakesh Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mani goes ahead with Laajo Irrespective of problems with producer Bobby Bedi, Mani Ratnam will revive Laajo Back to Section Stories Posted On Monday, July 23, 2007 Mail this Article Print this Article Search View Comments Rate this Article Comments Kunal M Shah Mani RatnamMani Ratnam has not lost heart over his problems with producer Bobby Bedi over the controversial Laajo. According to industry sources, Ratnam is now all set to revive the film. It is believed that he also spoke to Aamir Khan who has expressed his desire to work with Mani Ratnam. In fact, the filmmaker is having constant meetings with Renzil D'Souza of Rang De Basanti fame to write the script and is all goes well, the film will finally go on the floors by next year. A source from the Mani Ratnam camp says, Mani Sir is very determined to make Laajo. Mani Sir was in Mumbai last week where he had a long meeting with Renzil D'souza. He is constantly in touch with him. Mani Ratnam was in Mumbai to grace the premiere of his long time associate Chintu Mahapatra's Jai Jagannath after which he met up with Renzil. The reasons for Bobby Bedi not producing the films are yet unclear. Only Mani Sir and Bobby Bedi would know the real reasons and disputes surrounding Laajo. However, Mani Sir will go ahead and make the film irrespective of Bobby Bedi. However it is yet unclear if Kareena Kapoor is still a part of the film, adds the source. It is no secret that Aamir is equally determined to work with Mani Ratnam and has also written in his blog: I have been very keen to work with Mani for quite a while now and I was very much looking forward to this. However I think I'll have to wait longer. The best person to answer why the project is not happening would be Bobby Bedi and Mani, so I will not venture an explanation. Sufice to say that it has nothing to do with me. And I hope that I will get to work with Mani soon. According to the grapevine, Aamir has also decided not to work with Bobby Bedi after his unpleasant experience with the producer. The latests buzz is that Aamir may now produce Laajo.

[arr] SHIVAJI - IN HONGKONG !!!
Dear All, Yesterday I watched shivaji in Hong Kong. Thanks to the Rajni Fans Association-HK, We could watch the Movie in full screen and in full glory, Where to start, it was really a thrilling experience to see the movie. I think this movie has raised standards not only for Tamil cinema, but raise it for a rajni cinema, Indian cinema, in stunts, in cinematography, in style ..in every department it had excelled. The movie starts at 9:00 and there was already people waiting till 8:00. There was only one show and looking at the Tamil population in HK almost 90% were there. There were some japanese friends also to see the movie. And as soon as the title SuperStar Rajni Come. The noise was deafening. Nobody could control theory emotions and there were whistles and claps in almost every scene. The Movie Story wise it was a simple story of a man who want to do good to the society but the corruption in the administration pulls him down. The story was no different by the execution is mind blowing. And congrats to Shankar for thinking big. When i watched Mudalvan, i thought could the next movie of shankar match it? Then came anniyan again i think - a novel story great stunts - could the next movie match it ?. Though i dont have any doubt in the talents of shankar, rajni kant or ARR but forseeing a future is difficult. Now came Shivaji - A complete Masala Movie - worth more than the money spend on ticket. The first half is comedy , vivek in full form. Rajni was a little subdued in it. I know this calmness is before the Storm. And he comes in What a Force Man.. Amazing.. Simply Brilliant. Just like a roller coaster ride. I a not really getting words to express the experience. Last 15 minutes the film and Rajni's performance reaches to heights, no one match. Rajnikant He was TourDe Force. A complete performance. From Comedy to action to emotional. He done all with great elan.The scene where near the footpath he says that with thsi 1 rupee he will fight ..that was class. You can see the man changing from a simpleton to powerhouse. And what a performance he had given as mottai boss. Complete PAISA VASOOL. Though the ticket was 200 HK dollars but my friend said after the movie. It was worth 1000 Hk Dollars. Songs Background music. ARR Rocks in every scene. Every song is lavishly shot. There was riot of colors. Music by our boss is kick ass. Wether it is Ballelakka, Athirade or, sahaana or style or vaaji vaaji. each song is rendered very well and shot well. I really like the song Athirade and Style for its innovative idea and picturization.Especially Aithrade. One thing i like about Shankar is that he give full justive to Rehman's music and when his film is of certain budget, you can see the whole budget on screen. Shivaji is 80 crore plus movie and in each frame you can see the money put in. ARR Background puts the scene in different level. I noticed the level of greatness in the BG which gel well with the scene. Like in the Music shop fight scene, as they fight from one instrument to another, the bg music changes with stunts.. real genius. Other is outside court when Adi give 1 rupee to shivaji and last but not the least the end stunts rap. Cinematography by KV Anand is very good. Actions are superb. If you want to see how bg can elevate a scene then watch Shivaji and Lagaan. Every background piece is different and according to the scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. One word to those people who says how can he fight 10 peoples, how can he base rich so soon. Com 'on guys what have you gone to do there ?? to write a Phd Thesis on Shivaji Movie ? Enjoy the movie. Have fun. Why are you searching logic in it. You don't find logic in Hollywood Movies. You will digest the movie and accept the hero who wears his underwear over his pants..Don't you ?? Last One word. RAJNI ROCKS.. ARR ROCKS..SHANKAR ROCKS. ALL IN ALL SHIVAJI ROCKS. - Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo! Mail Beta.

Re: [arr] ARR: The bestselling recording artist in history-NO COMPARISION
Dear Rehmaniacs, After reading this article and as we know ourselves before also that ARR is the best. Now we should not waster our energy in future comparing ARR with HJ , YSR or in fact bigmouth Anu Malik. He doesn't stand anywhere near ARR. Lets put full stop to that topic. What you guys say .. ARR Rules Rakesh Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/221954 Arguably the bestselling recording artist in history, A.R. Rahman makes a long-awaited stop in Toronto Jun 07, 2007 04:30 AM Prithi Yelaja Toronto Star A.R. Rahman's loyal contingent of ethnic Japanese fans live in hope that he will one day give a concert in their country. The groupies follow him everywhere. A dozen of them, waving placards besieging Please come to Japan, were camped outside hotels where he was staying in San Francisco and Vancouver. They will doubtless be in Toronto when Rahman lands, along with a troupe of 70 singers and dancers, for a nearly sold-out concert at the Air Canada Centre on Sunday. His huge fan base is a testament to his status, by some estimates, as the bestselling recording artist in history. With more than 200 million album sales, he's arguably bigger than Elvis or the Beatles. But in his characteristically humble way, Rahman, who has a degree in Western classical music from Oxford University, explains it this way over the phone from Vancouver: I'm not a pop artist. Most of my albums are film soundtracks and when the movies become a big hit, so do my songs. It used to be before all the downloading started, you could easily sell 20 to 30 million albums in India. I've had about 10 films that went on to become big cult hits, so it's a calculation of that, says the soft-spoken Rahman, 41, adding with a chuckle, We don't get paid royalties like (in) the U.S. If that were the case, I would be a very rich man. Further boosting his popularity was the fact that Rahman's films previously were dubbed in three languages: Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Miami University in Ohio offers a course on his music and last year 150 students there put on a show with Rahman as the chief guest. To say that his concert here is long-awaited, is an understatement. It was supposed to happen two years ago as part of a world tour that included London, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The North American leg was postponed due to scheduling conflicts with other projects, namely the theatrical production of Lord of the Rings, for which Rahman wrote the musical score in 2006. Indeed, Rahman has often collaborated on crossover projects he composed the music for the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Bombay Dreams, as well for Deepa Mehta's movie trilogy: Earth, Fire and Water. His more recent Bollywood work includes Rang De Basanti and Guru, which had its worldwide premiere here earlier this year. With more than 75 film scores to his credit, Rahman confesses he is on a mission with his music. In these hard times music is really an uplifting shrine where all communities can come together. There's so much turmoil happening in life whether it's religious, political or racial. Music is all about love. It's a unifying force, says the Chennai-based Rahman, who is married with three children. Even in India and Pakistan, when Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was there, most of the Indians were listening to him and Pakistanis were listening to Lata Mangeshkar. Bollywood could not come up with a better storyline than Rahman's true life. Born A.S. Dileep Kumar to a Hindu family in Chennai, India, his father died when he was nine. The family ran a small firm renting out musical instruments. In 1988, after his sister was miraculously cured of a mysterious illness by a Sufi saint, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Allah Rakha Rahman. A devout Muslim who prays five times a day, Rahman says he has never faced a backlash because of his conversion. In life, the journey is what's interesting. Everyone has their struggles. Each person gets led into a path. We had some trouble and we got redemption through this path. Religion is a personal thing and I think people respect that. Rahman was doing jingles for television commercials in 1992 when director Mani Ratnam tapped him to do the score for the movie Roja, which became a massive hit. Aside from performing his film songs, he has a few surprises in store for fans on Sunday. Each concert is slightly different. I go by instinct. Nowadays when you do a concert it's all over the Net ... but you need to keep some mystery to keep the excitement going. Laughingly, he adds, one thing he definitely won't be doing is dancing. I don't dance. You wouldn't want to see me dance. The fans would all ask for their money back. - You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Yahoo! Mail

Hai all ARR Fans, I have been reading all the reviews and all the post on the group. Its very heartening to see our boss is back with a bang (sorry for the word back as he has never gone anywhere) silencing all those peanut head critics who says that he lost his touch This is time for joy and celebration for all the Rahmaniacs. Our Guru had given two back to back knockout albums which has become the rage. His every album is a rage though. He is the most respected and admired person in the music industry and he had proved yet again that how true genius he is when it comes composing music and with the humility he lives certainly strengthens our belief in him that he will give such soul stirring and melodious music in the coming years.
