  Here is the translation of what's said in trailer:



At 0.15 Aishwarya screams, I will not go.



At 0.25 she says (with fear and anger in her voice), Who are you to kill me, I 
don't wanna die..



At 0.50 Abhishek's voice is heard in background [Voice Over], She is not dead 
yet, (and then he threatens) she will die in 14 hours



The song 'Beera Beera' continues in parts throughout the trailer.



Guys, I think too much has been revealed here, I don't like this kind of 
trailer. After all Mani Sir's film is coming after 3 years, it should be a 
surprise till we go to cinemas.



Cinematography is superb, first class.

[arr] Ranjha Ranjha is mesmerizing

2010-04-26 Thread shalivahan Phoebus
 When I first heard the album this was my least-liked song but now I like it so 
much that it keeps on playing on the back of mind. After hearing the whole 
album through out the day, the one song which plays in my mind  when i sleep is 
Ranjha Ranjha. Its magical.                            The music beat which 
starts at 0:50 and runs till the end of the song is so interesting and 
keeps you moving through the track. Rekha's and Anuradha's voice is very 
exciting. The two interludes : one with the instrument that the song begins and 
the other I think Santoor have a kind of killer effect. The whole is very 
subtle and is simplicity personified.
The Album in the whole itself is very rarest and we are lucky to have it a hear.

  ye-catching first impression 

By Taran
 Adarsh, August 11, 2009 - 08:32 ISTFirst impression counts. No wonder, 
film-makers ensure that the first promo of their film creates the maximum 
impact. The promo of BLUE does exactly that. The promo of this 
keenly-anticipated fare makes a stunning impact, not just because it stars some 
of the biggest names in the business [Sanju, Akshay, Katrina, Lara, Zayed], but 
also because of its backdrop. It's shot underwater, amidst sharks.

The film has an international feel and its makers, Shree Ashtavinayak, should 
capitalise on its theme and take it beyond the Indian diaspora, when they plan 
its release strategy.

On the other hand, the first promo of MAIN AUR MRS. KHANNA brings
 back memories of Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies. Soft and simplistic, the promo 
exudes a lot of freshness. Of course, the first promo features Salman, Kareena 
and Sohail only [not Preity], but the glimpses make it pretty evident that the 
film looks at a pati, his patni and a woh. MAIN AUR MRS. KHANNA has been 
extensively shot in Melbourne, Australia.

Incidentally, both BLUE and MAIN AUR MRS. KHANNA are directed by first-time 
directors - Anthony D'Souza and Prem Soni, respectively.

[arr] Rahman is truly a man of sound.

2009-01-26 Thread shalivahan Phoebus
It was in 1992 when I first met A.R. Rahman, then known as Dilip. One 
afternoon, after managing to fix an appointment, I reached Panchathan Recording 
Studio near Kodambakkam, the hub of Tamil cinema and studios.

After a chat with his assistant Noel, I was ushered into a recording chamber to 
meet Rahman, then only 25. He was sitting behind a recording console that had 
16 tracks, digital mastering stations and computerised soundtracks.

All that I earn goes back into this, he said proudly. It wasn't out yet that 
he had just completed his first feature film, Roja.

Before he hit the big league with it, he had composed ad tracks for Boost, Usha 
Lexus and Pepsi. I found him pleasant but painfully shy; he even refused to be 
photographed.

In the 1980's, Rahman was a part of a rock group, Nemesis Avenue. It was also 
the time when top musicians in Madras were making different kinds of music.

The maestro, Illaiyaraja, had already made a mark in Bollywood. Pop music was 
looking up.

Some musicians were also experimenting with folk music and heavy percussion 
beats. The music scene seemed poised for something new.

I would often end up at the studio to interview musicians or to meet artistes 
landing from Bombay. But in between something had changed, the wait for an 
appointment started taking longer.

He would often come out and speak haltingly but quickly, answer pertinently, 
and disappear in a rush into the studio. Work was piling up on his plate, fame 
came knocking, and he was sought after like never before.

I work through the nights, he told me once. Later, as the national awards 
piled up, he'd tell me with that trademark unassuming smile: Allah ke dua se.

What made Panchathan different were the 'unfilmi' kind of atmosphere and the 
presence of new singers and their fresh voices. I remember bumping into Baba 
Sehgal, crooner Jasmine Barucha, local talents like Mano, Subhaa, Anuradha 
Sriram, Anupama, Sujatha, Hariharan and Sivamani.

They all had vibrant, fresh voices and they were there to work with the man who 
was making different kinds of music. Rahman can be credited with liberating the 
Indian popular singer's voice profile.

Film music in India encompasses only popular music, unlike in the West where 
music business exists independent of cinema. Till Rahman broke the mould, the 
voices that captured India's imagination were often homogenised, even though 
each of the singers was enormously talented.

Rahman is truly a man of sound. A new voice, a new sound challenges him, helps 
him layer what he calls a, fat, chunky soundtrack.

He loves introducing different musical instruments, some unusual, some regular 
to produce different sounds. He has taken this to Bollywood too.

He must be credited for introducing the feverish vocals of a Chaiyan Chaiyan 
Sukhwinder Singh to a Punjabi-dominated Hollywood; the vocal gutso of a Shankar 
Mahadevan; the recent warbling of Karthik, Tanvi Shah, young Naresh Iyer and 
many more. His search for new vocals and fresh sounds led him to assimilate 
popular and marginal sounds with the latest techniques in music to produce 
international music.

Melody is the key, he often says. Thanks to his repertoire, it was natural 
that that operas in Britain came calling and Tolkein plays wanted to make use 
of his orchestration talent.

And yes, it's only fitting that he lifted the Golden Globe this week.

This news is official, our Mozart, Rahman, is collaborating with Australian pop

said this in an interview to CNN-IBN. I tried to get the video clipping of this 
small interview from IBNlive.com however I couldn't. But checkout the following

[arr] MY REVIEW ON JA

2008-01-21 Thread shalivahan Phoebus
this is my personal opinion on Jodha Akbar music


AZEEM -O -SHAAN SHAHENSHA:
this song is very very opulently composed by rahman--the horn sound, the 
percusions, thumps,the chorus all are eloquent. The chorus is so impulsing and 
the back ground percussion makes it a perfect praising song. then comes the 
sword rythms which again proves that rahman is so innovative with his sounds. 
What I loved the most  in this song  is  the part  between 3:46 to 4:40 and the 
last chorus part, which I cannot describe in words, that can be felt only by 
heart. Every time the chorus sings  each time it gives a electric impulse 
feeling as in it shows that Akbar is really great, the  dheem thom chorus part 
gives us a picture of the power of Akbar and greatness of Rahman. We can enjoy 
each and every bit of this song.

JASH-E-BAHARAA:
this one is a singers song. I think that the credit to this song should go to 
Javed Ali (of course after Rahman) for so beautifully presenting the song. This 
one is simple and sweet song and has not many layers like the previous one. The 
tabla are sounds and santoor sounds are so melodious.Just one or two layers 
which makes it very sweet one. This shows Rahman is capable of composing a 
grand song even with not many layers in it. The song is so grand melody song, 
this shows why he is called THE KING OF MELODY. A perfect romantic song


KWAJA MERE KWAJA:
honestly speaking the first  time I heard the song it did not grew on me but 
for the very next time I heard I learned that it  was amazingly beautiful song. 
With this I can understand why Rahman is called the MAGICIAN. Now I am 
listening to this one the most number of times. Rahman's voice is the main 
attraction in this song, he sung so beautifully, its so divine voice. Each and 
every word which comes out of Rahman's mouth show us paradise. This song is 
made in heaven by musical god a r rahman. Whenever I stop playing the CD this 
song wanders in my mind, the sound of kwaja mere kwaja with rahman's voice 
echoes in my mind and I keep on singing myself- Kwaja mere kwaja.The multi 
-layered vocals are amazing. Whenever Rahman comes from anthra to mukuda again 
and sings kwaja mere kwaja it gives me goose bumps, I feel like  to bow down 
before Rahman


Inn Lamhon Ki Daaman Mein:
Initially I thought this one is another different romantic  melody song like 
Jash-e-bahara but no, its a different song. This is a song with a lot of 
variations. This one starts with a melody tune and suddenly goes to a different 
groove and with a nice chorus. Sonu nigam's voice is impressive and chorus is 
also so good. The santor used through the song is melodious. the transformation 
from the mukuda part to anthra is done very well and the return to mukuda again 
is outstanding. i think this song depicts how jodha and akbar get united.


Man Mohana:
I do not know why many did not liked this one but personally I really liked the 
song, just  hearing to the singers voice makes me to listen it again. Bela 
Shende did an excellent job, she sings on varied scales and pace through the 
song thats beautiful. The flute vocals used remin me of Taal. I can suggest you 
a way to like the song, just  start with listening to  only this song and do 
not listen to other numbers before this one and just close your eyes and listen 
how the singer sings through the song, her voice itself makes the song a nice 
one . Sometimes it sounds like Ahistha Ahistha from Swades. I think its a 
situation oriented song and we will like it definitely while watching the film. 
I became a great fan of Bela Shende of this song. the song is growing on me 
each time I listen to it

Intrumentals:
Both the instrumentals are excellent  no  need to mention this specifically  
because  when Rahman composes an instrumental its always mind blowing. Navin 
again did magic with his flute . We can hear two types of flute vocals through 
the song that makes this one a different one and Kwaja mere Kwaja instrumental 
shows that why Rahman is innovative in using different kinds of musical 
instruments like Oboe so nicely. I am sure this one will give a greater impact
