[arr] ONE OF MY FAV COMPOSITIONS OF ARR
Hi There, One of my fav compositions of ARR is DHEEMI DHEEMI from the movie 1947 Earth. I just love this song. I actually the entire album. But theres something about this song that makes me hear it again and again. Now u guys might comment that.. Well whts new in that.. all ARR songs are like that. Yes. But this particular song grows on you. It is picturized on Rahul Khanna and Nandita das. They are cycling away . Its so romantic. So pure. The pace of the song is slow but very soothing. The words are extremely sensual and so is Nandita in the song. The song , the words and the picturzation compliment each other very well. Beautiful. Hariharan SIr.. My God!! He just takes any composition to another level. Beyond any composers imagination. Lovely. I keep hearing it and find myself in complete bliss. Connect with friends all over the world. Get Yahoo!

Re: [arr] Coffee with Anu - Karthik on ARR
Hello Vithur, I happened to see the show too. I quite agree with what Karthick said about our BOSS. I am also deeply upset that GV didnt say anything about him all through the show. Karthik also said one another thing about our BOSS, which I thought was the Golden words about BOSS. He said, One should also learn from him as how to handle success. He remains so calm even after being such a huge legend. That was the best thing that was said ever on the show. As for GV not saying anything about our BOSS, I remember somebody posing a similar question to him on the audio release of Kuselan , he did thank our BOSS on the podium and also mentioned that he never discusses music when he meets The BOSS. Maybe he thought it would be unecessary to discuss about a legend. Nevertheless, He should have said something.

Re: [arr] Rahman sir taught me to make Omlet - says Krishna Chetan
Real insight to the man. I loved reading every bit of it. --- On Mon, 28/7/08, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [arr] Rahman sir taught me to make Omlet - says Krishna Chetan To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, 28 July, 2008, 8:13 PM Music Programmer and Music Producer Krishna Chetan talks in Rahmania Krishna Chetan's father is a Thumba Player, by name Thumba Raja, and was a close friend and associate of ARR. I am Krishna Chetan. I do Music Programming and Music production for A.R. Rahman. I have been working with him for the past 3 years. I did my five grades in Music, and solo piano. I learnt from a teacher called Venkatesh. His daughter by name I Love you. It was my father's decision that I got introduced to Keyboard. I learnt Keyboard, and my younger brother learnt the Guitar. My father had three sons, and hence he wanted to split it up. My another brother is doing rhythms. Since my father was in the Music field, he guided us to practice it in the proper way. As we grow bigger, and get associated with Big people, we tend imbibe their qualities. I also play the Drums, along with Keyboard. I used to play cricket. ARR 's mother and sister used to feel that Chetan along with the group of kids at that time, were very naughty and used to play pranks to a lot extent. Music Changes people. I think while learning the Drums, you get some aggressiveness. You need to have a lot of energy. But for keyboard players, you need more peace. You need to have a mind set for doing your work. When I started playing Keyboard, the top player at that time was Joshua Sridhar. Boys released at that time, and he was working with A.R. Rahman. I also worked with Joshua for his music production. I have always been inspired by Rahman, right from my earlier days. I was very excited to work with him, but then I understood, that he is also a human being, and that he is kind to everyone. He doesn't have that big attitude at all. Then slowly, I founded it easy to work with him. The first song that I worked was Vaaji Vaaji . My second song was from Rang De Basanthi. I have done a lot of work in Sakkarakatti, Azhagiya Tamizh Magan. In Sakkarakatti, for two to three songs, I think I have done major work, like emini, hip hop beat and orchestrations. In Azhagiya Tamizh Magam, did the Ponmagal remix? We wanted to take it to the next level. That was the only thing in our minds. We just saw the melody in that song, and saw it as a fresh melody. We thought of orchestrating it, if it would have been composed recently. First of all, I be with Rahman from night to day all through. Sometimes, I do the beats in the groove for him to compose. When he is ready with the tune, we take it to the next level. The chords, the base and the entire arrangements. Sometimes, we do it before recording voice or sometimes after recording the voice. After the tune gets Okayed, we take it to the second stage, producing it more. Most of the times, what I have done, and what he wanted me to do, sync well. Very rarely, things have gone the other way, where he has not approved my work. The comfort level with Rahman is slowly increasing, and I am becoming more and more comfortable. More confident. The main advantage is the time. You have all the time, to do whatever you would want to. He won't rush you or push you. Since being with him, you tend to travel a lot, and meet the best musicians around the globe, like Guitarists, flutists. (We work with the best people). Every Instrument and even voices. It always helps keep discovering, something new. Before joining Rahman, I used to spend most of my money in buying instruments and trying to discover something new, but now Sir sponsors everything. I work on his equipments. Even if someone gives you a laboratory, you need to know what is to be done. Do a lot of Research and Development to keep myself updated. We make our own food, when we travel abroad. We go out for shopping. Rahman knows to make omelet (told by Raihanaji). We do bread toast. He also taught me how to make omelet. Once he took me to the Kitchen, and he made that for me. It was very nice. He also said, You know why I did this for you, so that from tomorrow, you would cook this for me. . So, I became the cook from the next day. The song Nee Maryln Monroe from ATM all happened in one night itself. This song was actually an example of a song, which was supposed to be an ordinary one, but reached a different level altogether. Most difficult song was Sahaana (May be). The chords were done by Sir. He did it in one feel and we did the fill over's in the same feel. At one stage, you won't be able to play normal chords. Your ear grows, when u hear to good music, and when you play something usual, you will not like it. You will not be satisfied, until you get something. Fav songs: - Nannare (from Guru), Nee

To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 15 July, 2008, 12:32 PM I guez this album wud create history.. A best album given by Rahman after Boys.. A fabulous stuff.. watt songs.. nearly 500 times I have listened all songs are good.. 1.Eley Waata classy composition. . I felt its a better version than roobarooRDB which has more of an Irish Jazz touch..I feel this bcz Roobaroo has a simple scale transition.. The harmonica and violin are said to be perfectly rendered.. The acoustic guitar scale transition in the Eley when it is repeated seems to be an outta world progression. . No tamil or hindhi song has such a transition, I find a mixture of Jazz Blues genres.. The lyrics seems to very suitable for the tune it carries away anybody to 500 yrs from now.. 2.Marudani This song is gonna be the song of the year.. The melody, the tune and freshness it has in it can beat any track. The loop seems to be very unique and new. The important point is that the tracks tune overlooks the orchestration. . The first Piano interlude starting of with a major transition just flows in ur mind straight away and the middle parah's highlight seems to be our Rahmanji's humm it comes in fades away within phew secs.. the song's lyrics is said to be very colorful based on the tradition of a gurl and her love.. 3.Naan Epothu This song would capture anybody in the first listen.. Watta tune man it kills anybody with its feel.. The best part is that the remade lyrics suits well in tamil.. I feel this song seems to be different in tamil .. The lyrics and feel made me cry.. I simply love it.. 4.Chinnama This song seems to be a pure south Indian composition. . It makes anybody to dance.. A next Chayya Chayya in the making.. The voice of Benny seems to be better than that of Sukhwinder and Chinmaye I doubt whether it was her voice bcz it was totally different from I miss u da this shows her versitalty. This song wud be a mass hitt.. The lyrics and tune seems to be even more better in tamil.. 5. Taxi Taxi This song a pure youth anthem on the cards.. The track has an international ffeel..It has spanish french lyrics..The backgrounds pads and bass seems to be the best part of the song.. The song has French lyrics.. il faut que je me depeche parce qu'on m'attend au chennai il faut que j'aille prendre le taxi à Paris It means it is necessary that I myself depeche because one awaits me to the chennai i must will take the taxi to Paris Another main part is the lyrics on friendship.. 6. I miss u da The song tune is of 50's but the song's beat and orchestration seems to be trance and a bit of arabic in the interludes.. The song is like a dream .. nobody could imagine an orchestration this way.. tamil ppl.. will know more regarding this sorta compositions. .I guezz Well bcz .. These kinda songs where given by MS.Viswanathan in the past 1950's, tracks like Maalai Pozhundhin Mayakam which is considered to be a super hit in the 50's which is too of the same kinda genre. I feel he is trying out new style of compositions like bringing out old 50's music touch with a new unique kinda orchestration. . Well!! tracks like Mayail Iragae,thigu thigu,Munbae Va, Inisaai, Thazhuvadhu , Maja Maja will all come under this catogory.. The track thottal poo malarum new was too a track of M.S.Viswanathan re-tuned version of Rahman.. Tamil ppl like these kinda songs bcz the old type feel is still considered to be evergreen.. And since it has been softwares dominating the period of time.. Well, Rahmanji is trying something to look back, i.e to look back to old music which is said to be lost.. I feel this could be a trend change.. Soon there would be a demand for these kinda songs.. Whenever i listen to this i find something new.. It grows on one slowly... -Normally I wud not get completely satisfied.. with an ARR album.. but this album seems to be something above, it seems to be more than expectations. . This album would surely be noticed for many more years to come.. Sure that its gonna create a history.. Rahmanji has done his best ever.. Lets hope the best pray for the Director to equalize the expectations standards something creative in his videos.. Bcz the video would play an important role to make the songs familiar among ppl..

So naturally, Tu Bole comes with the fate of being chopped off after 30 seconds or so. The same fate with Jane Tu Meri Kya Thi (Sukhwinder version). The situation of the song arrives at the middle of another song After the first para of Kahin To (the most ill traeted song), the opening music of Jane Tu Meri Kya Thi (Sukhwinder version) starts!!!

But one thing I really don't understand why this same story repeats with ARR again and again? Why his songs being treated so badly in almost every film? Hindi film is always identified with music and dance. In last two years whatever movies I have seen and liked are full with songs. Except Aamir and Sarkar Raj, the movies like JWM, TZP, Omkara, Metro, etc all has good music and good song sequences too. The directors of these movies not only succeeded to get good songs from their MDs but also gave their movies a different dimension by using the songs the most beautiful way. Then why this never happens with ARR? The last time I saw ARR's music being used very well was RDB. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, siva_arr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While I can appreciate the concern as ARR's fan, I think we shud be realistic in our expectations about treatment of songs in movie. I thought Jaane tu felt like bit stretched in terms of time and two more full songs wud have made considerable damage to the movie. I am happy that Abbas got two nice songs from Rahman( even though they were just meant to be background) and it is not that those songs didn't reach public as well. I am looking forward for future movies from same combo and def Abbas is here to stay as a director. And yes ARR has probably found a young director who makes cool movies and he has been missing such directors for too long.

The way they treated each song also disappointed me. Poor choreography for Pappu Cant Dance The director made hell out of the beautiful song Kahin To And one more thing you wont get to hear much from ARR in terms of background music. But i know that situation was like that in the film where you dont actually need background music. But who wants to see the film i went there for ARR and i am happy that ARR has done brilliant job in terms of music. But director had done injustice to his music. And more thing the director has also edited Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai from the film. I think ARR should not work with those people who does not understand his music. My rating to this movie is 2/5. ARR's music 5/5. Because it was only ARR's music who made me sit and watch that film. Otherwise i would have straight away moved out of cinema hall. Bring your gang together. Do your thing.

Re: [arr] JTYJN Movie review 5 (IndiaFM)
Hey, I must a great intense review. I wud definitely like to watch it. --- On Fri, 4/7/08, Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [arr] JTYJN Movie review 5 (IndiaFM) To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, 4 July, 2008, 9:38 AM By Taran Adarsh, July 4, 2008 - 08:42 IST Two decades ago, the Mansoor Khan-helmed QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK, starring two newcomers [Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla], focused on teenage love, with parental opposition acting as an obstacle. The story wasn't new, but the treatment was fresh and inventive. QSQT remains one of the finest reference films in this genre and rightly so! JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA is a love story as well, but it's more of an Archie-Jughead- Veronica- Betty kind of a plot, set in the current milieu. We witnessed a gist of it a few years ago in the Shahid Kapur launch pad ISHQ VISHK. JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA doesn't dare to be different. Basically a simple tale about a group of friends, it focuses on one couple that's in love, but is in a state of denial. Haven't we watched similar love stories in the past, you may ask. Sure, we have, but the execution of the subject makes all the difference. Write your own movie review of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na Large portions of JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA have been executed well by debutante director Abbas Tyrewala, but the problem lies in the second hour when the film gets lengthy and also, a few tracks throw a spanner in the otherwise smooth proceedings. Even the climax, although well shot, is passé [very filmy in an otherwise real film], since a number of films have had similar endings. Yet, despite the shortcomings, JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA works for a number of solid reasons and that's what the viewer carries home. A decent fare that takes you back to your adolescence, when friends seem to be the be-all and end-all. Jai [Imran Khan] and Aditi [Genelia] are buddies. In fact, they hang out with their group of friends, but have eyes for each other only. Their friends know that Jai and Aditi are perfect for each other. Their parents know this as well. Everybody knows this. But the couple doesn't. So when do they realize its love? Don't expect fireworks or melodrama in this prem kahani. It's an extremely simple, uncomplicated tale that never goes over the top. The bonding amongst friends is well established. So is the relationship that Ratna Pathak Shah shares with her deceased husband's portrait [reminds you of Ashok Saraf-Priya Tendulkar relationship in the popular comedy show HUM PAANCH]. Besides, the two [popular] songs that come in the initial reels -- 'Kabhi Kabhi' and 'Pappu Can't Dance' -- only spice up the proceedings. The arrival of the 'third angle' in this love story [Manjari Phadnis] is perfect. Everything is faultless in the first hour. But the second hour lets you down. The Ayaz-Genelia relationship is, again, well developed, but the second hour gets a tad lengthy. But what looks completely out of place in this light and breezy entertainer is the Rajput connection and how it saves the lead man from the cop [Paresh Rawal]. This track irritates! Also, the climax, set in an airport, is beaten to death. There's no novelty in it, since we've seen the same ending in film after film. Abbas Tyrewala has the makings of a fine director. A.R. Rahman's music is already a rage and the two songs at the start are superb compositions. Cinematography is excellent. Every member of the cast stands out, but the film belongs to Imran and Genelia. Imran has been presented as the boy-next-door and that works in his favor. He has screen presence and acts very well for a first timer. Most importantly, he looks the part. Genelia adds freshness to her scenes. What makes you take to Genelia is her spontaneity. Also, the mischievous look in her eyes conveys sorrow with equal ease. Wish to see more of her in Hindi movies! Manjari is a complete natural. She is very effective. The group of friends -- Karan [as Rotlu], Alishka [as Bombs], Nirav [as Jiggy] and Sughanda [as Shaleen] -- are excellent. Each compliments the other well. Ratna Pathak Shah is highly competent. Jayant Kripalani and Anuradha Patel [as Genelia's parents] are sweet. Pratiek Babbar [as Genelia's brother] springs a pleasant surprise. He is flawless in an unconventional role. Ayaz Khan [as Genelia's fiancé] registers a strong impact. A good actor! Rajat Kapoor and Kitu Gidwani [as Manjari's parents] are fair. Naseeruddin Shah is in terrific form. Paresh Rawal, again, is wonderful. Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan irritate, mainly because the roles don't work. On the whole, JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA is a breezy entertainer which will be loved by its target audience -- the youth. At the box-office, business at multiplexes should ensure a speedy recovery for this moderate budget film. A profitable venture! Bring your gang together. Do your thing.

Re: [arr] ARR's best pair
Hey People, I dont know whos done the audacity to call Lataji ugly. I really dont know how this debate has fired up. I was the one to who wrote about ARR and Lataji in my post where I mentioned that they ar the best singing pair according to me. It was my personal opinion. I hate to read such things. Especially in a group that believes to be a ARR group. Please for GOD SAKE STOP THIS .

Re: [arr] ARR - A way of life .....
Hey Anil, I quite like what u have just written for Rahman saab. I quite like ur blog too. Well Guess What ?? I completely agree to what uhave to say for rahman. His music is like fragrance... it lingers on.. I often run out of words to describe this master. So everyday I try to come up with new innovative words to glorify this phenomenon called ARR. I am not a Rahmaniac in that sense .. To me he is like what krishna was for Meera. Check out my blog: www.sangeetasabha.blogspot.com Tell me what u think of it.

ARR inspires so many of us in some way or the other.His humility, his grace and of course his music ...inspires so many of us to be better in in whatever we do - to be better human beings in some way or the other. Gopal, Vithur to name a few...and there are several other people/incidents which I have read about - people and their actions - whether its food donations - work for ARR foundation - other charitable events/actions - education (latest being the post I read about the coimbatore fans) - just simply spreading the joy of this man's music around are clear testimonials to the magic ...the aura this man radiates which inspires us . I dont know where I am going with this but I would like to hear from others too on how this man has touched/inspired their lives. I dont think it would wrong in any way to say the ARR and his music are in fact ...for us Rahmaniacs - A Way of Life.rather A Wonderful way of life I dont think a non-Rahmaniac would appreciate or understand these thoughts ..which is partly what led to this post in the first place ..a friendly argument (if it can be called that way) with a colleague recently. -- -A http://viewsnmuse. blogspot. com Explore your hobbies and interests.

His mind, his inner self and his spiritualism. I might sound strange and funny. I happen to see his musical concert with Nelly Furtado. It was great . Micheal Jackson is a spent force now, his past greatness should be confined to history archives. What great can be expected to come out from him?
