[arr] Mind Language - The Indians at the Oscars
Hi Guys, I had written a post before about having uploaded a photo. I don't know what happened because the area is still blank. I would like you take a look at the blog dualogs.blogspot.com The latest one written over there has the picture. It feels great to me whenever I look at it and get an amazing feeling. Of course, the source of inspiration is A R Rahman, Resul, and their messages to people at the Oscars - or to the whole world - actually. Whenever I want to relive the experience I had that day - when the names were announced - I just pull up this picture. Hope you all liked it. Thanks. Chandra.
[arr] Musicians are God's messengers
Hi everybody, Hope you are fine. Rahman's success at the oscars has influenced me a lot. It has been like that since Roja, but the oscar success and his message has had such an influence on me that I don't want it to go away!! Resul talked about OM at the oscars. He does sound design. It is a very powerful symbological statement that cannot be expressed by words. I have uploaded a photo under the name Musicians are gods. I want to know how you feel about it. It is only a reflection of the influence that the oscar winners had on me. In fact, I've like to know what either of them feels about it. It's just a simple idea. My point of view. Thanks, Chandra.
[arr] Somebody answer me this...
Hi guys, I am gonna get deadly blastings in some replies to this mail but this question is never getting out of my head for quite few days. Thought I will ask you :-) Why does Rahman use Madhusree, Blaaze, Naresh Iyer, Udit Narayanan, Sukhwinder, and such singers who cannot render Tamil that much properly? Is it the lack of good Tamil singers? Is Rahman not aware that people are upset when they listen to such songs? Does Rahman have no choice? Are the producers demanding him to use M'sree, lots of English lyrics, Raps and all such (mostly) unnecessary stuff?? The only benefit I see here is that Rahman can maintain goodwill with that such producers who can give him more projects because if he rejects, they might cry foul and try to bring down his image. Or is it Rahman himself who does this because that is what others do?? Why doesn't he attempt something like this in Hindi? Why doesn't he take a Tamil singer who sings Regeta Hai instead of Rehta hai the proper way? Why cant he create a new style there? Is it because of the fear of producers or is it because Rahman respects Hindi language and bollywood more than kollywood?? Do reply. Thanks guys, Chandra.
[arr] Re: Are we not spending enough time with A R Rahman's new music?
Dear guys, Hope you all are fine! To answer the question above... The truth is that people who generally just love to listen to film music dont reserve time exclusively for a particular person. Only the respective fans and fanatics do that... How other people judge music is by its simplicity and hummability. The Lyrics also play a major part. A music director has to understand these sensibilities and produce a song with these elements. Just a couple of heavy chartbusters will do... he can play with the rest of the songs in his style. Earlier people were the same. They had access to numerous film music releases through TV's and Radios but still songs from Roja were blockbusters and it's success spread like wildfire. People were forced to make time to listen to it. That is how Rahman got popular. Then he maintained consistency. Even in albums like Gentleman and Kadhalan, there may have songs like Chiku bukku and Pettai Rap but there were evergreen classics which people played over and over again. Same thing with many other albums. Now, when Parasuram came, people didn't care. They dont have to... Why should a housewife spend one hour listening to an entire album with songs like Jack and Jill and try to understand the brilliance and musical nuances which Rahman fans seriously claim it is there?? Even though Radio (a simple low-price device accessible to even the poorest of the poor) is changeable anytime, recently people have been stopping it to listen to Kangal irandaal..., Taxi..., some songs from Dhaam Dhoom, and some songs from Saroja because those songs are highly enjoyable. People - when they love a song so much - just need one frame or a couple of seconds of audio to identify it. This is determined by the power of the song, the ability of the song to penetrate so deeply into a person's feelings and provide him that much joy. I am sorry to say but only many of Rahman's earlier compositions pull the strings in my heart. What is amazing is that they still retain the quality. Rahman is not the only player in this field. There are several others who also do good work. Unless he makes songs that have the power to penetrate into the top slots of the TV channels and everyone's personal music devices, even his fan base may start decreasing...

Those were the days when we used to buy a new A R Rahman cassette (yes, audio tape) and listen from start to finish with bated breath, taking in every change of note, every sound of breath, every new twist in the raga, or the odd beat out of sync done purposely so by the master. I wonder if THAT is what has changed... we no longer listen to an album from start to finish the way we used to. i-Pods and MP3s have made it too easy to get bored with a song and switch it even before we begin listening (yes, not hearing) to it. And since many DO NOT spend their hard earned (and saved up) money on these songs (nah... better download it, easier and I don't have move out of my chair!) lesser the motivation to find value in the songs. And hence, we have our wordly wise (sitting in the chair at all times) crowd bashing up and tearing apart every new soundtrack of the master, not nearly listening enough before speaking up professing the decline in standards of the great A R Rahman! How wrong or right am I? hm.
[arr] About the ARR-SPB national anthem retune...
Hi All... Just read an article in Kumudam - A Tamil weekly. Sorry if this is an old post or was already discussed before... The writer - among other things - expresses dissatisfaction about the way national honor or pride is compromised in various situations. Topping the list was the way the National Anthem remake is displayed across the Sathyam theater screens after a movie. These are the two mistakes: 1. The song is too long: Actually National Anthem should be in a specific tune and tempo and should exactly end within a particular time but this song overrides all these things and it seems is legally wrong. 2. There is no certification that accompanies the song, which again is a major blunder. The person concluded saying that he would never heed the request to stand up for the song as it is not legal and hence there is no need to add to the disrespect already created... Any comments?? Thanks, Chandra.
[arr] Some debatable decisions...
Hi All, Some decisions made by Rahman in the recent past regarding Singer selections have been debatable... 1. Nityashree singing Jack and Jill in Parasuram. I still wonder why she even accepted it. Is it because of Rahman?? 2. Janaki singing Enthan Nenjil in a movie. I forgot the name. It was acted by Manoj (Bharatiraja's son), but not Taj Mahal. Do you even remember it??? huh... 3. Sunitha Sarathi singing My wish comes true... from Kisna. It wasn't very proper choice... even for the situation in the movie. No probs with Vasundara Das for Lagaan though! The rendition for Warriors in peace... from WOHE was slightly better, i feel. Just some minor irritations in the otherwise perfect list I guess... Please share your opinions. Thanks. Chandra.
[arr] Forgotten/Shelved/Doubtful projects
Hi All, These are some of the projects which ARR was supposed to do: 1. Hindi version of Autograph 2. Mahabharatha (first by RK Santoshi and again by Mani Ratnam) 3. Satyagrahi (Telugu) (might still happen...) 4. Puli (possible) 5. Yelelo 6. Bajirao Mastani 7. Exclusion (planned by Deepa Mehta i think) 8. A movie on Tansen if I remember correctly... 9.

[arr] Re: Munbe Munbe Vaa is a complete lift of a sample!
Hi Karthik! These are my observations to what you have written. tell me Mr. Brain, why would some one search a song and just use a 10 second sequence from a song to compose some thing which is now a historic tune... Many have similarly accused Harris Jeyaraj for the same thing. The song was Mudhal Kanavae where there was JUST ONE bit resembling the LEO coffee ad - which too is damn historic. Just see the tempo of the Muththu Muththu sirippu part and the airtel tune It is not a 'direct' lift. The Airtel tune is a tune which resembles another tune. In short - it is not an original work. Only Rahman can say with absolute certainty whether he copied it or not. What we say are just opinions and observations... But it is definitely frustrating when you come to know that a tune we love so much was already composed by someone else much earlier... Just because some bald fellow comments in aTV program (Baski in Vijay TV), do not vomit the same thing here again. Whats wrong with that? Don't we share good things? Some go to the extent of copying the audio/video itself (which is sometimes illegal) and putting it on the net for sharing. But calling names and pointing fingers on someone like you have done is what is disturbing. This makes me why , why did IR use this part of the tune (muthu muthu sirippu...in a song where the original starting tune is different as it goes deepankal pesum. This has to do with creativity. Sahana had thiruppavai lyrics in a different tune! Sarfarosh ki tamanna from TLOBS has a change in tempo! Many such Rahman masterpieces can be quoted but for the lack of time and space. Thanks and regards. Chandra.
[arr] Re: Munbe Munbe Vaa is a complete lift of a sample!
Hi All... To say that 'Rahman has never copied' is not that right... There are some instances where he has lifted or been inspired by other musical works and tunes and has used it in his compositions. One such example is the Airtel tune. It is lifted from a song by the maestro Ilayaraja for the film: Devadai This link has that song... http://tamilcinema.dk/songs/songview.asp?songid=1234 There is a chorus line which goes: Muthu muthu sirippu... (2 or 3 lines) and then... Pakkathile neruppaa... (2 or 3 lines) Another example: The song O Bhaavre... (Daud) is inspired from the song O Saathi Re... Thanks.

Can someone try to answer these questions 'coz its bugging me for sometime and I am not able to get a good relevant info on these... 1. What happened to the UOL concert DVDs? Will it EVER get released? 2. Whatever happened to a film called Chamki Chameli? Does someone know about the current status about it? 3. Will there be a Guru BGM CD release as I heard sometime before? Also, is the release of Provoked really confirmed?? 4. Mani is supposed to go with IR again and he sort of confirmed it in an interview. Whats up? 5. What are the next Rahman's FILM releases? Coz I know that he is planning to release a couple of personal albums this year. Any help will be appreciated Thanks. Chandra.
[arr] Re: Whats missing in ARR - my explanation #??
Hi Fans, I dont know what is the number of this explanation, but anyway - thought I will also do my bit here... When you consider seriously, there may be some possibilities as I have listed them below. 1. Guru might not have needed that kind of sound. Mani was probably given some samples and it might well be HE who decided it. 2. Rahman probably hires those equipments as a cost-cut measure and Mani is an MBA. So, they might have calculated a lot of things about what is important rather than going with THE BEST always... 3. Guru involves a period element in its story. That is why they didn't use ultra-modern lyrics and so did away with the ultra-sfx sound stuff and went with something that is warm and original, reminding us to some extent the (g)olden times. That is my reasoning why there was a song like Baazi Lagaa in the first place, but why it DIDNT sound at least like the rest is something I myself am thinking about... 4. I will now return to the old classical arguement and mention ONLY ONE point that suit this writing IN GENERAL - including, but not restricted to Guru. Rahman uses more LIVE instruments and wants them to sound just like that (WHHIWWH (What he hears is what WE hear)) - of course with some manipulations and improvisations here and there... Finally, I DONT get a feeling something has gone wrong. Please reply to the following: Mention some ARR songs which sounded EXACTLY like HR's Unnaale Unnaale. So that... a.

Hi Fanz, Please look at this link below: http://www.indiancdstore.com/ViewDetails.asp?p_id=254 This says Roja DVD is available in the 5.1 Dolby encoded format. A user has even written a review for it (Hope he is in the group!). I know the duo (ARR + Mani) launching a Roja International Version DVD recently, the reason being the storyline will still hold good. The bad thing is that in that DVD (Intl. version), some songs have been trimmed whereas the SFX (videos and songs) stuff have been given a slight makeover.

[arr] Rahman's favo lines from Nee Kattum...
Hi Fanz, Just recently read a post about T L Maharajan talking about the song he sung for Rahman. In a film launch for that film, the song Nee Kattum Selai..., was widely discussed. Vairamuth and Rahman were both present. Here is a small portion which I remeber... Vairamuthu was asking almost all of them about the best part of that song. When it came to our Boss, he praised these lines: Nee vetti vetti podum nagathilellam; Kutti kutti nilavu theriyudhadi. Translation: When you cut your fingernails and throw them; I see that all of them are like small moons (The arc of moon, rather). Superb selection, boss. Thanks for reading. Chandra.

[arr] Some news on Sakkarakatti interview - Deccan Chronicle
Hi Fanz, Nice to read the news that GURU is on the way to its completion. I am surprised how MANI gets to make RAHMAN work like a Japanese train. Also, in the SAKKARAKATTI film-launch event, more news had been given in the Deccan Chronicle daily. Here is it. 1. He works for important films - The importance here is to the banner, people who vibe well with him, the director etc. If these kind of people approach him, he does not (usually) decline. 2. On his future projects, he DOES NOT mention DASSAVARAM as one. The others were - Elizabeth Sequel (Shekar Kapoor), Sivaji, JOK, GURU etc. 3. He is going to cut a personal album very soon. KM MUSIQ will be the collabration arm or something. Thanks for reading. Chandra. Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

[arr] What Rahman can consider...
Hi Fanz, This is a list of movie types/genres/kinds that Rahman can consider scoring for, if it comes his way... Please note that I am not saying he should (or should have) score(d) for the movies mentioned. I just gave an example or a reference. 1. Full fledged Horror films - like Sixth Sense, Final Destination, The Ring, and many others. 2. Action or Adventure type - like Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, Spiderman, The Italian Job, MI, etc. 3. Fantasy films - like Harry Potter or C.O.Narnia type. Even animation films like Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Polar Express etc. 4. Science Fiction films - like The Time Machine, Back to the Future, ET, Jurassic Park, Anaconda etc. There are not much Tamil or Hindi counterparts to the movies mentioned above. Some of the movies above were/are Trendsetters. The only problem is that most of these movies require SFX or BGM type of sounds rather than Strong Melodies, which Rahman likes. But they will provide a lot of variety. Most of these movies deal with situations, characters, or the world itself which are extremely different or non-existant. All this provides tremendous scope for experimentation to the extreme. As for some Non-Film project... 1. What about Scoring for a Game? - NFS, T.Raider, Prince of Persia etc. are wonderful games which have plenty of scope for music. Gaming industry is equally big and second only to (In the US) Hollywood. People like it when Music connects strongly with the Visual aspects of a game. So why not..?? And finally the one we are almost desparate for... 2. Some personal albums - The last I heard about Conf. of the birds is that it is still in consideration. Hope it works out. Thanks for reading.

Hi Fanz, Did you notice that?? I keep ARR-anging things - Rahman..! Now, arranging is a musical term. Shows his strong devotion to music. Even casual language begins to have some professional (in Rahman's case, Musical) terms and connotations. I also remember this statement he said in an interview: I dont blow my own trumpet - Rahman...and then he chuckled. ...and also this (incomplete, though): Hope I (or is it It, referring to some composition maybe) will be remembered for many more EARS to come (Please guys, I am NOT AT ALL sure of this, but remember reading it somewhere).

Zip, Rar, 7Z, etc. Ever since I started using it, I have not used others, but kept my old favorite Win Rar (free edition) just for backup. A request to fanz: Instead of worrying about the T-Shirt, why don't someone release: An A R Rahman Special CD/DVD whose contents would be... 1. Voiceless BGMs 2. Extra Movie Songs 3. Some Wallpapers 4. Some rare interview videos and other stuff which are worth sharing... The one who takes initiative can set a nominal price for the CD as the manufacturing, postage, and handling costs. For fanz like me who dont live life on the broad-ways of the web, it will be really useful. Please give it a serious consideration. Can any of the admins create a POLL for this?? Anyway, thanks.

[arr] Re: God father-a r rahman continue his same style
Hi Joseph and others, It is NOT the variety which is missing. There are 2 things which makes you think this way...it is the selection of projects that is something ARR should consider. 1. We had a string of period stuff like: Bose, Minaxi, MP, and Water releasing one after the other (I forgot the order) and with Aa Aah, RDB, GF and others to follow, we have the modern stuff. It could make some listeners think about Line Assembly. If there was a careful juggling in between these albums with equal space in between, I can say that only very less people would have complained. But of course, the arguement that ARR is NOT responsible for the film or audio releases is definitely valid. 2. Due to the period rut which ARR himself got into (he has pulled out now), the demand was to see the vintage ARR stuff. Even in our group, this has been the talk recently. Our group is definitely a sample space which means the real head count of people's expectations should be mind-blowing. Aa-Aah was (at that time) a sole consolation, but RDB and GF are excellent. They are chartbusters in their respective language areas. The very fact that you find songs in GF reminding you of Bombay and Jeans are strong proofs that it has the old charm! Thanks.

[arr] Re: Anyone feel GF quality of audio CD seems lacking?
Hi Fanz, This (Issues regarding Quality of CDs) seems to be true to an extent...at least for casual listeners. I have a viewpoint for this. My understanding is that ARR used (let us assume) a 40 : 60% ratio of Live : Simulated instrumentation. The reason is that either the instruments were costly or unavailable in India, which explains why others didn't even think of it and also explains why Rahman sounded generationally different than others. He gradually turned the ratio on its head and now is using more and more live instrumentations and stuff. So, the ambience may be different. For normal users (like me) it sounds different I guess... If you take albums like AP or , you will find any given song to have more focus, sharper beats, less diffusion in instrumentation, well defined solos and all that... But listen to something like Boys, you will see some diffusion (I dont know how it is on high-end stereos and 4+ speaker setups) and the punchy sounds will not be as good as (say) Kadhalan or Jeans. The best comparisons would be with Zubeidaa (I feel the sound this has is like Unparalleled) and many others Dil Se, and many others in that time period. Disclaimer: This is just my view. I dont know anything about Music or how the Recording works. I have just written my observations... Thanks for reading.

I dont want this to be happen again as we know we all waited for this godfather songs to be released n to enjoy it. Im sure we're enjoying it but how about in the future when HJ album released? As a true fans, pls we all come up n do something so that our boss's godfather rockz the music world n stay at no. 1 forever unbeated by others. teach a lesson to HJ, Yuvan n others saying that ARR is droping down n became 2nd after HJ as there are people who are claiming that.

[arr] Re: Non-Musical Sounds in ARR's Work
Hi All... This has been discussed MUCH earlier in some other thread. I am just going to give few more details from it. Nothing new about it..! 1. Typewriter sound - Kaathalan - Mukkaala Mukkabula song. 2. Cellphone ring sound - Kaathal Virus - Hey Hey Enna Aachu song. 3. Water droplet sound - May Maadham - Yen mel vizhuntha song. 4. Water splash sound - Meenaxi - Yeh Rishtaa song. 5. Glass break effect - Baba - Baba Kichu Kichu song. In the Re- recording, some Knife sound effects were used in a really cool way. 6. Glass break effect - Yuva/AE - Jana Gana Mana song. 7. Bell sound - Baba - The opening prayer song. The chorus part of this song is believed to be a rip-off from another song. 8. Bird sounds - Kisna - Hum hain iss pal song. There are many more like May Maadham - Margazhi Poovey also... I am sure this will only increase. It says that Rahman likes to work for the situations in the song giving importance to Macro arrangements and thus enhancing the quality of the song. Thanks for reading.

[arr] Re: shelved projects of arr
Hi Fanz, In another post, I wrote that GODFATHER poster was visible in one of the shops off Ritchie Street, Chennai. It is scheduled to release sometime in DECEMBER and this news is 99.9% confirmed. As for RAWAT'S inquiry, I managed to find out this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449800/ I now distinctly remeber that the wordings of the director matched that of another old project called: ADA. Its no surprise 'coz ADA was a project to be done by A R Rahman. Maybe GOPS can help here..!? Replying to this current post, these are some more snippets... 1. Rahman refused Kamasutra. Okay, lets make it a trivia. Anyone knows the reason for the refusal?? 2. Rahman was supposed to do ASHOKA and gave some (snatches of) tunes, but it shifted to Anu Malik. Similar thing happened to FIZA. 3. Rahman recorded for Govind Nihlani first, much before he did for RGV (Rangeela). But something happened and it did not come out. 4. Rahman was supposed to do: Tanzen and Baiju. Donno what happened. 5. Rahman did a small BGM for the Indian Navy (or is it Army?) celebration. If someone has the piece, please pass it on... 6. The Super-Star Flop, BABA had 2 unreleased songs. One is the BABA RAP, which we all know. The other is a song in praise of his mother witten by Vairamuthu. It didn't fit and was removed. 7. 4 tunes were recorded for the movie: MOTHERLAND, supposed to be directed by Subash Ghai. Might never happen. His earlier movie TAAL has a song: KYA DEKH RAHI HO TUM...MERI AANKHON MEIN, which I think was NOT a part of the CD. Please confirm...it's a beautiful piece which finally merges with the opening chorus of: TAAL SE TAAL MILA. And one more info...The KANCHIPURAM WEAVER dream project, if I remember correctly, was supposed to be by PRIYADARSHAN and NOT by Rajiv Menon as mentioned...please confirm. Thanks for reading.

Hi Gomtesh, I meant that when rendering the Hindi vocals, the voice is a bit dizzy, whereas in the Tamil verison, every word seems to be sharp.

Re: [arr] Future Projects of A R Rahman...
Hi Rawat, About Kaza or Qaza, I also remember scantily about that. Not sure of the name, though. I think Water version what we get is almost the final. No review on it mentioned about the number of songs. Only One of them until now had hinted -half-a dozen soul stirring songs, which (I think) almost fixes it there... As I would re-phrase from Keats - Heard melodies are sweet. Those unreleased are sweeter,- I WILL take anything Xtra it has by A R R. Bye and Thanks.

Re: [arr] Future Projects of A R Rahman...
Hi Mirza, Thanks for the post..! The info that Dil Se was NOT inspired is good to know. Hats off to Vijay TV. They do well with this kinda stuff. I remember some other promo where they used a DHOOL song for Jackie Chan movie. I have a doubt...If the LOTR stage show itself begins this Feb (which is 2006, right?), how come the music comes one year late?? I dont remember whether the Bombay Dreams CD came so late, did it??

[arr] DIL SE...something new!
Dear Fanz Recently, someone wrote about how new things are discovered every time you listen to the master's masterpieces. Just recently, I was putting both the Dil Se tracks (Hindi and Tamil) one after the other in my playist and found something interesting. 1. The Tamil rendition by the master is somewhat sharp when compared to the Hindi track. I dont know if this has to do with MP3 conversion. 2. The interlude (one of the BEST unparalleled in the entire TFM till date) is a bit different in the Tamil version. It comes out sharp and has some other wooden stick instrument mixed with the Guitar (Or is it the Mandeline??). The sharpness makes me doubt more on the MP3 conversion...Please confirm. 3. This is not a difference. The ending effects deserve special mention. Just like a buzzing bee shuttling through the left and right ears. I think if there is a DTS 5.1 encoded version in the original DVDs, this would drive you crazy..!! Thanks and share such giggles and googles (findings) often. Chandra. Yahoo!

[arr] Re: Ilayaraja: Popcorn and Food........pls stop
Hi Fanz, Thanks to all those replies. I was in some doubt whether he was targeting the fusion, western, and the semi-classical kind of music, which was pop-ularized by Rahman in a big way...and then later followed up by others thus leaving classical music far behind. There 'were' times like that... Now, after reading these posts, it is clear that he was referring mostly to songs like Manmada Raasa and some other stuff which neither had logic nor lyrical quality. Rahman is way different...Even for a movie like Ah...Aah, he comes up with scores which appeal to both the classes and masses to some extent. Thats why he is loved and liked to some extent even by some of the hardcore IR fanz (as far as I know). One more thing in that show: YSR sung a song composed by IR along with Karthik. He literally destroyed the song to such extent that IR joked about it: Hey, Why are you singing it as if it was YOUR song?? Also, Vaali seems to have run out of ideas when praising someone. It was almost repetitive and the message was like the same he once said about ARR earlier in Chennai concert... Thanks again for the wonderful comments...It certainly helped..!

Hi to both Sudarsan and Krishna, Thanks for your posts. It made me remember the song: Gala Gala vena Pozhiyum Pozhiyum megham engu selludho. Once Sadhana Sargam said that it was one of her favorite songs and made particular mention about its complex rhythm patterns. I am sure there are many more such gems.

Re: [arr] ayaiyo song...
Hi guys... Much of the listings may be true, but there is a point to be noted: When other MDs copy a song or a part of it, *some* ARR fans say blatant lift, copycat and all that whereas Rahman's little-little copies are termed as: inspiration, resemblance, self-accepted inspiration, raga similarity, time pressure, producer/director/actor recommendation etc. Some people have come up with this: there are only 7 ragas and some resemblences cannot be avoided, so thats NOT copying and all that... Is it not possible that the *copiers* faced none of the problems. It might not be known to the outside world, but why do you discount the possibility?? A good musician gets good films, good respect from the singers and those who do business with them and his/her own personality. We should try to take all those into account and pass neutral comments. That way R D Burman, S D Burman, SEL etc. may not be that bad. Even Mozart *lifted* a tune which was played in a Church and which was kept secret so that no one else (other than those who come there) experiences its devine bliss. But because Mozart *did* copy it and distributed the notes, many people were able to enjoy it. Was he right or wrong?? What would you say for Rahman's version of O saathi Re, tere bina bhi kya jeena which was O Bhaavray...dekho in deewaanonko If you know tamil very well, sing this: thanga padakkathin mele (MSV's number for MGR film), which became one of Rahman's hits: Enna viai azhagay. Any non-arr-fan would say: wow. good xerox technology! There are some more examples of this kind of ___ (you can name it), but one thing is for sure... Rahman definitely is blessed with some kind of devine grace. Just like many people say Sachin was *born to just play cricket*, many more people will say Rahman was *born just 4 music*. Thanks for reading.

[arr] Re: Do u feel other MDs have surpassed ARR?
HI Krishna... Replying to this theory, Such instances are abundant in History. They have bought about great changes and each one of them underlined the very fact that Change is the only universal constant. For an example: Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was a great master and Vivekananda was his best desciple. Both had their own artistic methods of dealing with life and spiritualism. Ramakrishna remained in India itself propogating his profound knowledge and experience to his so called inner circle whereas Vivekananda broke the boundaries and went to the U.S. to deliver speeches on Hinduism, other religions, and the greatness of India as a whole. Vivekananda had a good deal of scientific knowledge and gave new ideas on how to use it for the good of India. One of his famous ideas is: To exchange the Indian Vedanta knowledge with the Scientific methods of the west and to develop on both the fronts. I think Ilayaraja and Rahman are somewhat similar when it comes to the art of music composition and of living life, but when it comes to the scientific part, they are worlds apart, just like the above-mentioned duo..! For instance we learn maths at school n college levels.A school teacher teaches us Maths.He is very good at teaching n everybody is amazed by his teaching abilities.One of his students finishes college n takes up teaching in a more easy n understanding manner to the surprise of his students whose standard gradually increases n everybody starts recognising their value. The new teacher gets offers from all over the world 2 to teach n he accepts them n amazes the with his new techniques by breaking old conventions. In spite of a barrage of offers the new teacher hasn't shifted base n continues 2 teach in his place n just goes for guest lectures abroad. So whom do u think is more potent the teacher (IR) or the student(ARR) who has dramatically changed the way the world views Tamil music or Indian music at large.I just gave this wierd example bcos u need view music with another perspective rather than itz glitz or in terms of hits n flops. And to reply to this oncoming segment... If you think passing off Star, Parasuram, 1 2 ka 4, and such albums as mere abberations, then whatever IR did that did not sell is also the same. If you derive the ratio, ARR might be better, but that is because IR had more numbers than did ARR. So naturally, it is bound to have more abberations. And for that matter ARR hasn't given 1 nasty stuff in any of his films unlike IR who yields 2 his diectors pressure cos he has become unsure of his future projects.A classic eg. may be Azhagi where there is a 3rd rate nasty song amidst good ones which could have been so easily avoided demeaning his strature of a so called genius.This is not so with ARR cos he sets his own terms while composing n doesnt yield 2 to the directors whims n fancies.In short only a responsible filmmaker will approach ARR.There may be abberations like Star,Parasuram but they only due to ARR's time constraints n busy schedules. If ARR leads even after the numbers become equal, it could be the case of learning from someone's mistakes Just My Views. No offence intended. Open to suggestions. Thanks for reading. Chandra. Yahoo!

Re: [arr] HT reviews Mangal Pandey; music continues to be pilloried
Hi Rawat, Hope you are fine. It is director choice/ skill that is being criticised in the above. MD gives a song asked by the director. How the director then uses the song, and where, that has nothing to do with MD. ARR could not have helped it in any way if holi song retarted the film unnecessarily. YOU HIT THE BULL'S EYE Holi song is more a failure of Javed Akhtar than of anyone else. Every word and figures of speech used in this song are ages old. LYRICS WERE MEANT TO BE AGES OLD. AROUND 150 YEARS OLD, TO BE APPROXIMATE AT THE LEAST. I haven't seen the film, but I think you meant that the Song lyrics should have been in sync with the language that the characters speak. If that had not been the case with this song, then you may be 150% right..! Or, as in your historic string of arguements around a month back, the lyrics were too much periody compared to the non-period music and so, they didnt mangal...oh sorry- mingle well giving the critics something to mangle with... There could be psychological reasons also. Normally people expect to see a serious, all-business type of personality for a larger than life hero like Mangal Pandey. Hence they could not digest him enjoying small pleasures like playing with colours in the comapny of gorgeous girls, all painted whimsically. YES! I DID EXPECT SUCH A THING BEFORE THE D-DAY (12TH). BUT NOW AFTER READING THE REVIEWS, I AM A BIT CONCERNED. I HOPE THE ENGLISH VERSION IS PROPERLY SCISSORED. Whatever is the case, I will make it someday to the theatres to witness the fictional history. Thanks for reading. Chandra. Yahoo!

Re: [arr] :: Important regd T-shirts ::
Hi... What about this word to describe ARR: His music (this on the top) Then comes the pic. PRISTUNE (this comes at the bottom) PRISTINE means undecayed or something in the actual or original form. So, just modifying a letter, we get PRISTUNE, which means the TUNES in the most original sense. Just some more suggestions: Color of the shirt: White (I know this would be rejected) ARR UOL Pic: The Black one with outstreched hands. Fonts for the ARR Tag: Bright Green (Matrix green, that is) ARR Sig: Dark blue or just black. Yahoo group name at the back with Yahoo symbol. Do consider if possible. Thanks for reading. Chandra.

[arr] Re: ARRMUSIC! (a possible answer to spiteful badmouthing of ARR)
Hi Arijith... I too remember this interview. But the only change is: The song was not Bombay Theme but Tu Hi Re for which H Sridhar was trying to remove dirt tracks from Hariharan's voice. The reason could be that Mani disclosed the shooting situation and ARR felt that since the beaches would always be salty, it is best to retain the natural distortion in one's voice. Also, one more thought. How come Bombay, Roja, or KM miss out on the Top 100 movies list compiled by the Time mag crew??? Was Nayakan so much better than these??? Could anybody (who has seen Nayakan) provide more insights and probably compare it B, R, and KM? Thanks for reading. Chandra. Yahoo!

[arr] Re: a r rahman-vijay ??..dr.dev
Hi fanz. The actual reason for lack of ARR-Vijay combo maybe the Udhaya debacle. I feel that this combo would not work. Even if it works once or maybe twice, it will not keep up. Just look at the recent movies from both. Vijay's type of movies are like Image-Creating, Hero worship kinda stuff. They have an item number, a Dappanguthu type song. As for the roles, they are like stereotypes. Nothing different. Lots and lots of Masala-Bajjis, only good for occassional time-pass. On the other hand, ARR has concentrated on serious type of movies which require music straight from the heart. Even though I am hopeless about Godfather (because Ajith is almost same as Vijay), I am looking forward to Aa Aah, The Rising, Water, and two more in Rang De Basanti, LOTR at the year-end or early next... What do you feel?? Thanks for reading. Chandra. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- What would our lives be like without music, dance, and theater?

[arr] UOL Pic Wanted...
Hi Fanz. Good day to all of you. I need the UOL Concert Pic, the one where ARR is 'pic'ced from the back with hands outstreched in black outfit. I need the 1024x768 (800x600 will also be fine) version so it fits my desktop background. Please upload it on the FTP. If already there, please tell me the filename. Also, one thing regd the T-SHIRT. You can make a quick one yourself if you have. And thats one more reason I want the pic badly. a. A T-Shirt, b. A Pic of your choice. c. Iron-On Transfer Paper. You have to print the pic from somewhere onto that Iron-On Transfer paper and then IRON it on to the T-Shirt. As simple as that. At the least, it makes for a cheaper (low quality) option before you guys decide on the better version. Thanks for reading. Warm regards. Chandra. Yahoo!
