  Dude Arvind ! Thanks for a detailed report on interview. 
Vasanath expressed some nice points on ar. He worked with ar only once, still 
dared to speak on other mds using similar tunes :) Bravo Vasanth !

friday on Rahmania Show on Aahaa FM, they aired the continuation of Director 
Vasanth's interview (Vasanth is the director of the movie Rhythm)... This was 
one of the best interviews on Rahmania and definitely not to be missed... Read 
on!!(I'm uploading the entire interview... Will send the link soon  
It's something to be treasured!)~~~About Songs in "Rhythm"...ARR 
improvises a lot with the songs... Consider Nathiye Nathiye song (Dheem 
Thananaa) song for example. "Dheem Thana naa" was never meant to be the pallavi 
(antara) of the song. It was a refrain that was used in the middle of the song. 
Since it was catchy, he made it as the opening. The entire song did not stick 
to the usual format of 1 antara and two mukhda - there were lot of variations 
in the song - just like how   the flow of a river is never uniform and varies 
throughout... Since each portion of the song was so different, we decided to 
make the "dheem Thana naa" refrain as the common link for each part, and thus 
we finalised the opening of the song. Nathiye nathiye which was supposed to be 
the actual pallavi (antara) of the song,  was made to appear only once or 
twice in the song!!About ARR as a personARR is the only Indian composer, who is 
successful in the regional, national as well as the international arena... 
There may be many who are successful in the regional level. You can even find 
people who are successful in the regional and national level. But, he is the 
only one who has succeeded in all 3 levels... Be it Nagercoil (a small town in 
Tamilnadu) or New York - he is a success everywhere!He is the pride of 
Tamilnadu and India..When you consider   only the film compositions, I see him 
as the major composer in Tamil and hindi film music. In Tamil, he is of the 
lineage following  G.Ramanthan, R.Sudharsanam, KV Mahadevan, 
Viswanathan-Ramamoorhty and Ilayaraja.If you look similarly in Hindi, he 
follows the lineage of people like Anil Biswas, Naushad Ali, Shankar Jaikishen, 
SD Burman, C.Ramachandra, Madan Mohan, Kalyanji Anandji, Lakshmikant Pyarelal, 
RD Burman... He is one of the Titans in Indian Film music. According to me, 
there has been no TITAN music director after the arrival of ARR, in India in 
any language. He is the latest arrival.In this lineage, I include only those 
who bring a totally new style of music. There are new composers who follow his 
style. They may also do some good music, but they have not created a new style 
of music not until now...The most important aspect of his music according 
to me, is his technology + music. It is not technology alone or melody alone..  
 This is something that he pioneered. we have heard lots of melodies.. we have 
heard technology being used... but he put both of them together in the right 
mix and composed music He follows this in all styles of music - be it 
hindustani or carnatic or sufi or soft rock. If ARR had been around in 1960s or 
1970, I think, he would have given songs which are 100 times better than what 
he has given now!Even now he gives the best songs, but what I'm saying is that, 
"story" had lots of importance in movies back then... Important aspects of 
ARR's music  - like the melodic nature of his music, the depth of his 
music, the ability to show different  perspectives, the ability to 
transport us to a different world - all these would have had more importance 
back then. But now, there are not many stories which can fully utilise these 
aspects of his music. Sotry-telling has  decreased   these days!About 
ARR's simplicityHis simplicity is what I admire the most. I had once read about 
what composer Pyarelal of Lakshmikant-Pyarelal fame, had to say about ARR. 
According to Pyarelal, Roja is his fav album, but the most important work in 
ARR's career is Thiruda Thiruda. ARR had met Pyarelal at a party, which was 
their first meeting. ARR himself went and introduced himself to Pyarelal, 
saying "I just wanted to meet you and get introduced to you... I'm A.R.Rahman". 
Pyarelal says that he had never seen anyone being so simple and modest, that 
too being a composer of international fame!Rainahah:  Usually ARR is very 
introverted and would not go and introduce himself to people... but since 
Pyarelal is a composer whom ARR respects a lot, he probably would have gone and 
spoken to   him!As a Director, what's your role in the music creation 
process?According to me, a director's role is to create an environment or a 
situation for the composer to

I think music is never being wasted specilally created by Rahman we 
are listeners...we are not here to check whether it fits to movie or not. For 
me (like non tamilian) most of the times we are not able to watch these Tamil 
moviesbut we enjoy the music to the fullest... so for a bigger audience 
music is never a wastage.   Also how many of us are fortunate enough 
to watch "Bombay Dreams"? Mostly none. But we all are enjoying the 
music so it doesn't matter whether the music used in "Bombay Dreams" is 
wastage or not. Just enjoy the magic/music created by Rahman.   Arijit

gives the music for   the film, and does the re-recording. After that, the 
movie is solely in   the hands of the director and others. The failure of a 
movie AT THE BOX OFFICE does not mean they have devalued Rahman's music. In 
ATM's case,   its purely the case of the fans not accepting its hero in such a  
 different film.Movie is not a flop. It will break even. May be in terms of 
expectation (of the movie, not the music), it could be termed a failure.

Re: [arr] JUST JUST JUST WAITING + some interesting facts

[vijaykumar chiniwar]

Hi Sunder and Everybody,
very well said ya i agree that u love ARR and his music and i have the same
feelings about  him there is no one day that i never missed him and his
songs
i only listen to him becoz i dont get enough time becoz until i listen all
his songs
time get consumed but still i say "tomorrow never dies" isnt it..  ;)
any way i am also saying that no one should compare him with anybody else
and waste our surfing time simply in reading and deleting such silly
comparisons
i request the group moderator to filter the messages and only messages that
praises
my "Lord of the Musica"

  Hi Everybody

I am a serious lover of ARR, infact i started loving mosic only because of
him. I am sure almost everyone in this group would be the same. I recently
joined this great group(a month ago), from the day i joined I am seeing lot
of such mails with so many negative thoughts some way or the other
critisizing ARR's work. For those who doesnt know the difference between ARR
and other music director is that ARR creates music while others compose
music. There is lot of difference between creating and composing. Even
nowadays many mobiles has the feature of composing your own music using some
inbuilt sound bits like drums,keyboard and so on. That also creates good
sound, it doesnt mean that you hace created the music, it is just composing.

 Every music director 8 out of 10 does this kind of work(composing). A
true music album is one when all the songs becomes hit. ARR album would
contain all kinds of music right from fast beat number to a heart melting
melody number. Even in beat songs you can hear the good beats that would
make you tap your legs and some would make you dance rather than close your
ears as it is the in most cases with other music directors.

You people may be wonderring why am i telling this all these stories! This
is to make people realise what is music all about, how much creativity oen
should have to create a music, not only once but do it consistently all over
the years right from 1992(roja) to till date. No one needs to expalin how
much he achieved over the years, and still being humble is really great.

So stop comparing with other music directors with ARR and let us be mature
enough and discuss something realted to music. If our boss comes to know all
these non sense he would really feel for this, afterall we are here to
support him not to make him feel.

I agree with Mr.Kumaran, i also request the moderators to look out for the
rotten eggs which are spoiling the entire group.
Lets be united and share our music experience and above all enjoy our BOSS
music.

Waiting for your comments.

My thots excatly thulasi. My sincere request to this group's moderator is
to filter all messages in the future and delete this kind of irrelevent and
idiotic topics as well as kick out those who does not deserve to be in this
group. This group is for the true fans of ARR who live and breathe his music
and lover's of gud music. Sometimes i feel it is this kind of people who has
brought down the quality of music by telling -ve things in various
forums/groups/blogs,etc and this indirectly has hurt ARR's music and his
movies. It's high time we put a stop to this menace.
