 I love the way how the song starts of with soft traditional traditional

Ha Ha ha !! Nice one :P I Never said anyone else mad here except Sukwinder
 :P  I dont know the reason behind the statement u gave in this mail :P i
just can laugh :P

Anyway ...let's get to the main point..At the time of the Oscars Sukwinder
didnt left any stone unturned to show his anger on ARR ! He said I will
perform on Oscars stage oneday ( Just because he sung an song in an Steven
spielberg film ) ...and said so many Mad things on couple of interviews
!!

and now he is claiming that he dont at all crave this things !! And like all
other Celeb invited on this show he went on praising himself ( I watched
almost every episode ) by saying that even Rahman was shocked that he isnt
at all interested in Oscars !! But at the time of oscars he said ..ARR didnt
took him..and later we get to know that he had a visa proband now we
know he had an Show @ Kanpur ( Anyone attended that show from here ?..Anyone
from Kanpur ?? ) So , he possibly couldnt attend the Oscars ... Weird  isnt
it ? :-) Let's get the fact right !!

If ARR intentionally didnt took sukwinder and he feel it that way why he
aint saying so ? If asked he can also show us some evidence or something !!
What is the need of saying two different things in two diff places ? He is
just so mad about missing the chance of performing at the oscars !! Yes, Mad
is the correct word here in MY view !!

[arr] When A R Rahman kickstarted this desi's career

2010-09-09 Thread A.R.Rajib

When A R Rahman kickstarted this *desi*'s career
September 08, 2010 17:01 IST

*
*

J*effrey Iqbal on how a generous moment from A R Rahman [
Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=a+r+rahman ]
ignited his**musical career.*

http://ads.rediff.com/5c/inmoviesA.rediff.com/movies-article.htm/1684375245/x15/default/empty.gif/6478346e574578584475454142514d46

I am originally from Newark, Delaware. My father, born in Gujarat, India,
and mother, born in Karachi, Pakistan, moved to the United States decades
ago, where they had three children.

As a first generation American *desi*, I felt fortunate being exposed to so
many more diverse cultures, languages, foods, countries, music and people
than my average American friends.

One of those major life-changing things in my home was music. Listening to
1980s pop music on the radio, then hearing Hindustani classical at home, I
was exposed to two ends of a spectrum.

As I got older, one of those styles of music was developed more than the
other. Although I was in the school band and choir, I had also started
learning the tabla, Hindustani classical and light vocals. I taught myself
how to play the harmonium.

It wasn't long before my affinity to *desi* music would turn into pubic
performances and local music competitions. Years past and life moved on.
Eight years on, the music had left my life.

In the summer of 2007, I took my last leap of faith. For years I had tried
to audition for many musical shows and teams but failed. I was down to my
last bit of effort, when I saw an article in *India Abroad,* titled 'A R
Rahman's Talent Hunt.' Even then I didn't see how I could stand a chance, so
I did nothing. As the deadline to submit a recording came near, I had a
feeling inside that told me to just send it.

So I did, with very little expectations of hearing back. Within a couple of
weeks, I got a phone call saying that I made it to the next round and that I
needed to come to New York to audition live.

Keeping this a secret from everyone, I drove to New York where contestants
from all over the US and Canada [
Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=canada ]
were present. One by one I heard these talented people sing, and I knew I
didn't stand a chance. It was finally time for my name to be called. As I
walked toward the room where I was going to audition, I held my harmonium in
one hand while a cameraman from the network recorded my every move. I walked
into the room, looked to my left, and there he was, A R Rahman.

Usually, I'm quite nervous to perform in front of anyone, but for some
reason, I felt very comfortable and reassured. AR was a very down-to-earth,
soft-spoken person. Someone I felt comfortable around immediately. After the
audition process was over, all the contestants were brought into a room
where the winner was to be announced. Rahman, feeling generous, decided to
select six people instead of one. As all the contestants circled around him
and anxiously awaited to hear his selection, I was the only one sitting in
the back of the room on a couch, playing a game of solitaire on my phone.
That is until the second name he called was mine.

I could feel the look of shock on my face. Then a smile I couldn't get rid
of, no matter how calm and collected I wanted to appear.

A few days later I was to perform in New York City at the Nassau Coliseum
for 16,000 people. The moment I walked into that stadium, I was amazed. I
got to meet with A R Rahman, Hariharan [
Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=hariharan ],
Sukhwinder Singh [
Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=sukhwinder+singh
],
Chitra, and many other musicians and entertainers I have been watching and
listening to for years. Watching all of the rehearsals, which Rahman
conducted, meeting everyone, and then finally performing, was a
life-changing experience. It was something I never could have anticipated. I
was on stage with an orchestra including some of the most talented musicians
in the world.

As the anxious crowd settled into their seats, I started to pray. I hoped I
wouldn't make a complete fool of myself and hoped I could impress Rahman and
the audience. The time came, my name was announced, and I was on autopilot
walking onto the stage. Rahman to my left on the keyboard, and in front of
me a sea of 16,000 people!

At that moment I made another prayer. That one day I would be on a stage
like this again, but the crowd would be there to see me, and to listen to my
songs. It was that very moment that changed a part of me. I felt something
like never before, and it was to be my destiny to reach my goal.

In 2008, once again another opportunity was presented to me. A dream of my
mother's, and a secret dream of mine, was to one day perform on the
television show, *Sa Re Ga Ma Pa*. I got wind that *Sa Re Ga Ma Pa* was
hosting a US challenge and auditions were to be held in six major cities
around the states.

Once again, I didn't want to spread

Guys,
can anyone pls clarify the following points clearly.

1. why suki was not part of oscar  if any visa issue then why he was 
subsequently ignored by ARR in all stage performance(jaiho song)  post oscar...
2. post oscar only ARR sings JAIHO without suki and with only tanvi sha and 
other lady performars he could have invited suki also /
3. why sucki didnt get Grammy while others like vijay prakash and Tanvisha was 
part of Grammy , suki is contribution to JAIHO is
huge compared to Viajay prakas and Tanvi sha ?..  is there any intention on 
this issue? why he was not part of Grammy he didnt get any call from  grammy 
.???

4. why ARR didnt mention suki name in the OSCAR speech while he was mentioning 
all like MIA,blazee etc etc

5. why  suki is not part of JAIHO world tour as currently going on.. where in 
the song JAIHO would be perfomed at every concert
 does ARR wants to highlight only himself in the song?  show that he 
can 
be more popular as a pop singer in west??
  i belive ARR worked with suki in Ravan after this issue then what is 
stopping ARR to bring suki on stage for singing JAIHin anystage

am getting confused with these questions in my mind ... ARRis very humble 
and  down to earth person and why he did allow this kind of issues happening 
...this is not the question of integrity and this is the question of the 
getting 
recognanised at the stage like OSCAR ...this kind of oppertunity suki wont get 
again am sure that is why he is crying a lot and making this kind of statements 
especially when ARR failes to impress the people through CWG  anthem

I really don't know where the limited range criticism comes from.  It's just 
ludicrous.  Rahman to me is the most versatile musician everyes, ever.  I 
didn't say he was the best ever, but most versatile.  

I agreethese crticisms are so outdated and in reality, dis-proven.  To me,

 Accusations - Rahman's range is limited, Vande Mataram album by ARR was not 
 good, he has limited calibre, Rahman is worse singer in the country than most 
 blah blah blah...
 
 He says Rehman must realize his limitations and accordingly take up future 
 projects.
 
 This guy does not even know its Rahman and not Rehman!!! Sick...
 
 I dont know of any other composer in the world who has a range better than 
 ARRs. 
 He can compose almost all genres or music with equal brilliance.
 
 Some people are really ignorant and dont let their ego die when it comes to 
 accepting AR Rahman's success!!!
 
 I have always maintained that AR Rehman is a greatly overrated composer and 
 even 
 though he has won an Oscar for the Slumdog Millionaire score, his 
 compositions 
 are more or less similar or have a very limited range. In any case, he is not 
 in 
 the same class as some of great maestros of yesteryears whose melodies 
 continue 
 to rule even now. Rehman in his limited range has achieved excellence and has 
 thrived because there are not too many composers of his limited caliber who 
 are 
 also around. It would have been interesting to have observed Rehman had he 
 lived 
 and competed with the likes of Naushad, Shankar Jaikishen, SD Burman, Hemant 
 Kumar, Roshan, Madan Mohan, OP Nayyar, Sajjad, Khayyam, Ravi, Salil 
 Chaudhury, C 
 Ramchandra, Anil Biswas, Hansraj Behal, SN Tripathi and even Lakshmikant 
 Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji and RD Burman.
 It is no wonder that his theme song for the Commonwealth Games has not gone 
 down 
 too well with the people and he is being accused of giving a mediocre number 
 after charging Rs five crores for his troupe. CWG Chairman, Suresh Kalmadi 
 clarified that Rehman had not accepted any money for himself and the amount 
 was 
 meant for the total performance carried out by the musical troupe 
 accompanying 
 him. Even though Kalmadi has liked the song, most people I know have been 
 extremely critical of the whole composition. Their view is that the music is 
 not 
 catchy, it lacks Indian ness, it has poor lyrics and Rehman is perhaps a 
 worse 
 singer than most in this country. Without being rude, I share the view that 
 any 
 composition, which is meant for mass audiences and is going to be the theme 
 song 
 for an event like the Commonwealth Games must catch the imagination of all.

 cannot certainly say that the composer's freedom to compose anything gives 
 him a 
 license to create a sub standard tune, which is for mass consumption. If 
 Rehman 
 and his troupe alone were to hear it, the justification of composer's freedom 
 would have been okay. But here it will be sung and played out before an 
 international audience of millions all around the world. If the song lacks 
 the 
 spunk and fails to generate enthusiasm, it is a failing of the composer. He 
 should have played it before an objective audience before pushing it as the 
 CWG 
 theme song.
 I do acknowledge that he has given good scores in many movies in his limited 
 range but he has failed to be convincing when he has gone in for mass 
 numbers. 
 Nearly a decade ago, he had done a new version of Vande Matram. But than one 
 could not help making comparisons with Hemant Kumar's evergreen Vande Matram 
 number for Anandmath, which was picturised on Geeta Bali and sung by Lata 
 Mangeshkar. Hemant Da's number scores in every sense of the word and till 
 date 
 no version of the national song has come any where near it.
 I do not know what the CWG organizers can do at this late stage but people 
 are 
 already unfairly comparing Shakira's livelier Waka Waka at this year's Soccer 
 World Cup to Rehman's composition. It is for Rehman to figure out how best he 
 can make amends. Otherwise the song could have generated enthusiasm to lift 
 up 
 the sagging spirits due to the pathetic preparations in the run up to the 
 Games. 
 What it has achieved is that it has spoilt the mood of music lovers

 Pandora's box with mail after mail and article after article full of just 
childish discussions such as the one below. I love AR's music and now beginning

and appreciating his music all by myself. If that's childish, so be it. 

And Raj , yes ARR is a selfish stage hogging arrogant artist who only looks out 
for himself and only himself.  
 ARR  wasn't the first music director in Indian history (EVER) to credit all 
the 
musicians involved in a soundtrack  in the form of a comprehensive credits list 
at the back of a CD. Even a person who hums in a song does not get his/her due 
credit by ARR. Instrumental artists are given a cold shoulder- no mention at 
all. And sound engineers. Who are they? If not for AR, the world of Indian 
music 
would be so advanced and artists would have got their due credit and respect 
without being ignored.  

It looks to me that the majority opinion ( from all the e-mails and articles in

I understand your feelings.  I too am tired of all this negativity over the CWG 
song.  I urge members to please stop posting nonsense articles that do not 
contribute any constructive value to this group, but only fuel angry sentiments.

Please stay here.  I really value your posts and insights.  You contribute so 
much to this group.  I for one know ARR and his music from my heartI don't 
need to explain it.  If there are any doubters out there, it's only because of 
their issues, not ARR's.

I think Raj was just trying to clarify some issues related to Sukhwinder Singh 
and not implying that ARR is selfish, at least that's how I interpreted his 
post.

I really value your membership here and please don't leave on account of some 
noise recently.  I know what you're feeling, however.

2010-09-09 Thread Balaji

Interesting observation. I was speaking to a friend the other day who said a 
lot of ARR's songs these days were too complex for him. The simplicity of the 
old songs possibly was one reason for their lasting popularity (songs that 
immediately come to my mind are Mustafa Mustafa, Urvasi Urvasi, Chinna chinna 
aasai etc). Even such a gargantuan hit like Mukkala Muqabla had a lot of 
openness to it. In fact, coming to think of it, how many songs these days 
(not just ARR but the music in general) can one really categorise as simple, 
hummable songs?

2010-09-09 Thread V S Rawat

You are saying it again, even after being conveyed clearly that an ARR 
fan should not use such words for anyone.

Sukhi getting angry, or Sonu getting angry, or Udit Narayan getting 
angry - they still are contributors to ARR. They are in ARR's team. 
ARR will invite them to sing further songs. anger and happiness and 
various emotions keeps on coming between friends and family members. 
We don't call our father mad or our son mad when they are occasionally 
angry.

We should always remember that while we all mostly badmouth Himesh 
Reshammiya here, ARR still invited him to sing a song in Blue. That is 
ARR. That is his politeness. That's why ARR is respected.

You have no value for my prompting. I am sure ARR will be the first 
person who will disapprove of anyone calling anyone mad. I am also 
sure that ARR will be very sad that a forum running on his name is 
being used to called artists mad.

Guys,
can anyone pls clarify the following points clearly.

disclaimer: I don't know truth about any of these. Just my personal
logic and views are expressed.

1. why suki was not part of oscar

ARR was an invitee in oscar ceremony. I don't think ARR had any say
whom oscar organizing committee calls and whom the committee doesn't
call. I do think that when the committee even called the small kids of
the movie to perform in the show, they should have called Sukhi also,
but again, ARR can't have any role or say in sukhi being invited or
not invited. Ask oscar committee why they didn't invite sukhi.

if any visa issue then why he was
subsequently ignored by ARR in all stage performance(jaiho song) post
oscar...

This is personal speculation on ARR's psychology. I repeat i don't
know whether it is true or not.

So, I guess that sukhi reacted badly on not getting invited to oscar
and he somehow held ARR responsible.

Now, if someone blames you for no mistake of yours, it does affect
your feelings and you do become uncomfortable with the person unduly
blaming you. Same way, I think ARR became temporarily uncomfortable
with ARR.

now that Sukhi probably has get over his temporary harsh feelings and
is trying to approach ARR, I hope ARR, polite that he is, will forgive
him and they will be friends working together again.

The TOI interview had very sensible and welcome words by sukhi towards
ARR, somehow that interview and sukhi got bashed here.

read that interview here:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/music/Rahmans-become-overconfident/articleshow/6484596.cms#ixzz0z30y8pBs

See, sukhi even says I really want to sit with him (ARR) and have a
lengthy chat, seedhe dil se! What more we can want?

2. post oscar only ARR sings JAIHO without suki and with only tanvi sha
and other lady performars he could have invited suki also /

ARR sang it where? In his tours? Again, I think ARR's tours were/ are
also organized by some marketing/ organizing agency that is
independent of ARR. So, it is them who decide whom to invite and whom
not to invite. AFter all, that agency has to pay for all the invited
persons who are performing in the show, even to ARR. So, ask that
agency(ies) why they didn't invite sukhi.

For that matter, there should be about 100+ male and female singers
who had sang ARR's various song in his albums. Did they all go with
ARR in his tours and sang their songs on stage? I don't think so. Some
might be there, some didn't go. Those who didn't go, their songs were
rendered by someone else. That's what happens in each and every stage
show. Then why single Sukhi only for not being there and his song
being rendered by others on stage. Sukhi is busy guy and he must have
high charges for appearing on stage. Tanvi Shah, vijay prakash are no
way as busy as sukhi nor as popular so they had time and had less
charges to go in the tour.

3. why sucki didnt get Grammy while others like vijay prakash and
Tanvisha was part of Grammy , suki is contribution to JAIHO is
huge compared to Viajay prakas and Tanvi sha ?.. is there any intention
on this issue? why he was not part of Grammy he didnt get any call from
grammy .???

Again, like oscar is given to only MD and lyrics writer and not to the
singers (please correct me if I am wrong) Grammy must have there rules
and tradition. I am sure ARR can't have any say in whom to give grammy
and whom not to give. (if ARR has such a say, I wish ARR tells grammy
organizers to give himself (ARR) a grammy every year. ha ha ha)

4. why ARR didnt mention suki name in the OSCAR speech while he was
mentioning all like MIA,blazee etc etc

If so, then it is indeed sad.

Could someone please quote ARR's oscar speech here verbatim.

5. why suki is not part of JAIHO world tour as currently going on..
where in the song JAIHO would be perfomed at every concert
does ARR wants to highlight only himself in the song? show that he
can be more popular as a pop singer in west??

yaar, you are repeating same question many times. I have speculated
above about this.

i belive ARR worked with suki in Ravan after this issue then what is
stopping ARR to bring suki on stage for singing JAIHin any stage

OK. can someone please find out and post what money sukhi charges for
appearing in a stage show? that might hold the answer.

am getting confused with these questions in my mind ... ARR is very
humble and down to earth person and why he did allow this kind of issues
happening ...

[arr] Rahman's gift to Ashaji

2010-09-09 Thread Thulasi Ram

In an industry where relationships hardly ever stand the test of time,
double Oscar-winning composer AR
Rahmanhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=AR%20Rahman
certainly
wants to be an exception.

The musician, who is being criticised nationally for his composition of the
Commonwealth Games track written by lyricist Mehboob, made a hush-hush trip
to Mumbai http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Mumbai just
for a day before boarding the flight to the US for the American leg of his
world tour. BT has learned that while in the city, Rahman shot for a reality
show but his main purpose was to meet one of his icons — Asha
Bhoslehttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Asha-Bhosle,
who turned 77 on Wednesday.

Rahman handpicked 77 roses for the legendary singer to celebrate her
birthday but unfortunately both of them could not match their timings and he
had to courier the bouquet of roses to Asha's residence on Peddar Road. One
of Rahman's closest aides said, It is a mark of respect from Rahman's side
to Asha, a singer he has idolised for many years now. He somehow wanted to
make the day special for her. When he realised that he couldn't meet her,
Rahman made it a point that the roses reached Asha on her birthday. He also
took a confirmation that the roses had reached her residence from the
courier company before boarding the flight. Rahman wanted to keep the visit
secret as he did not want unnecessary media attention on him at a time when
he is being criticised by almost everyone.

2010 – A Promising Year for A.R. Rahman
http://www.cinefundas.com/2010/09/09/2010-–-a-promising-year-for-a-r-rahmanhttp://www.cinefundas.com/2010/09/09/2010-%E2%80%93-a-promising-year-for-a-r-rahman
Published on Sep 9 2010

http://www.cinefundas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/A-R-Rahman.jpgMaybe,
the previous year was his time to get acclaimed as one of the World’s most
acclaimed musician. His grand success of Academy awards, Grammy, Golden
Globe, BAFTA and many more awards kept him high on spirits. And this year,
it’s been a real treat for his fans witnessing his heavy downpour of albums.

It all started with Gowtham Menon’s ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ and its Telugu
version ‘Ye Maaya Chesavo’. Both the versions topped the charts and ennobled
A.R. Rahman for his earnest attempts of taking Tamil music to the next
level. Especially the song ‘Hosanna’ still remains over the top. Apparently,
his next trilingual album – ‘Raavan’, ‘Raavanan’ and ‘Villain’ and these
albums grossed with record-breaking sales in Indian music market.

His direct Telugu album ‘Komaram Puli’ directed by SJ Suryah is already
making good business at audio markets. After a long sabbatical gap, A.R.
Rahman had composed music for a Telugu album and all the songs including
‘Power Star’, ‘Amma Thale’ have become the favorite numbers even amongst
non-Telugu speaking communities.

Doubtlessly, his recent release ‘Enthiran’ has gone higher over the global
charts breaking the records. It’s worth mentioning that ‘Enthiran’ is the
first Tamil album to have taken a position of No. 1 at World level. The
other versions in Hindi and Telugu titled as ‘Robot’ have already become the
chartbusters. The Hindi music channels have been continuously airing the
songs of ‘Robot’….

Apart from these albums, the academy award winner will score music for
Gowtham Menon’s Hind remake of ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’, which will have
couple of additional tunes. He is now associated with 3 international
projects ‘Nair San’, ‘Desire’, ‘Paani’ and ‘Danny Boyles’ Hollywood movie
‘127 Hours’. Not to forget, his next Hindi album ‘Jhoota Hi Sahi’ is fast on
the way to audio tracks and his previous combination with Abbas Tyrewala in
‘Jaane Ya Tu Jaane Na’ was a tremendous success.

Possibly, ‘127 Hours’ should be yet another key for our Madras Mozart to win
yet another academy honor.

[arr] Read this : CWG 2006 theme song..equally slow

2010-09-08 Thread wiredbeats

Most of us forgot one point. The CWG theme songs have always been this way

Listen to Delta Goodrem's - Together We Are One. Its even slower than our 
Rahman's theme for 2010. Knowing this, our panelists and media made a huge 
noise 
of not being close to Waka Waka.

Heres the video for 2006 theme song 
 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNsrzw8T4U4 

Btw Waka Waka is effectively part remix. It's sampled out of an old African 
song 
called zanglewa and has the same chorus lines

See the thing is. Common Wealth Games, Asiad Games and even olympics are more 
to 
maintain international diplomacy and sporting culture. It is not an 
'international contest' in the sense that world cup football or cricket is. 
Hence creating public euphoria by making a dance hall theme song is not the 
purpose. Atleast thats not how it has been for such things..

Heres the theme song for Asiad Games 1982 held in New Delhi 
: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKikKRPiaXE  

So, Rahman's anthem is in-line with the pace and purpose of such games as they 
have always been. Media has just gone mad this time...thats all

 contracts to provide total customer satisfaction.

 This incident is worthy of being taught in TQM classes in industries
 and business schools.

  Coincidentally, Rahman has been busy dealing with the mixed
  response to his Commonwealth Games 2010 track. Wonder if that is
  prompting him to be extra careful with Tyrewala's film? Of course,
  it could be friendship too.

 If it is friendship, than I wish ARR were friends with CWG officials
 also, so as to do something about his that product too.

 All those opposing ARR redoing CWG song might notice:

 - JHS with 7 songs must already be having great music by ARR, just
 like CWG song has to be already great.

 - ARR adding more touches to suit the movie doesn't demean ARR, it
 doesn't show ARR's defeat in any way in composing previous seven
 songs, it is not an acknowledgement that previous 7 songs were bad or
 lacking, the way retouching CWG song would not mean that previous
 version was bad or lacking.

 - The way Abbas is all praises for ARR now and is obliged in heart,
 retouching CWG song would make Government, politicians, media, we
 fans, all have additional praises for ARR and we all will be obliged
 in heart.

 - We get to hear two additional creations in JHS, the way we would
 hear additional version of CWG theme if he retouches it.

 What exactly are we unhappy about? our Ego? Are we fighting a war of
 guts here? I thought it was entertainment. Why this stand-off then?

2010-09-08 Thread DineshVaidya

After listening / reading to all comments on the CWG theme and the so called 
bashing by ignorant sections of Media and our politicians,  somehow I am 
tempted to forgive them because all they are comparing ARR's CWG them music is 
to ARR's earlier (musical) track record. 

I would have been unhappy if the media would have compared the theme to some 
other composer or artist. All they are doing is compare this theme with 
Rahman's previous presentations.

So I must thank the media for acknowledging that ARR's music is uncomparable, 
and if at all comparable, it can be compared with only ARR's music alone !

 contracts to provide total customer satisfaction.

 This incident is worthy of being taught in TQM classes in industries
 and business schools.

   Coincidentally, Rahman has been busy dealing with the mixed
   response to his Commonwealth Games 2010 track. Wonder if that is
   prompting him to be extra careful with Tyrewala's film? Of course,
   it could be friendship too.

 If it is friendship, than I wish ARR were friends with CWG officials
 also, so as to do something about his that product too.

 All those opposing ARR redoing CWG song might notice:

 - JHS with 7 songs must already be having great music by ARR, just
 like CWG song has to be already great.

 - ARR adding more touches to suit the movie doesn't demean ARR, it
 doesn't show ARR's defeat in any way in composing previous seven
 songs, it is not an acknowledgement that previous 7 songs were bad or
 lacking, the way retouching CWG song would not mean that previous
 version was bad or lacking.

 - The way Abbas is all praises for ARR now and is obliged in heart,
 retouching CWG song would make Government, politicians, media, we
 fans, all have additional praises for ARR and we all will be obliged
 in heart.

 - We get to hear two additional creations in JHS, the way we would
 hear additional version of CWG theme if he retouches it.

 What exactly are we unhappy about? our Ego? Are we fighting a war of
 guts here? I thought it was entertainment. Why this stand-off then?

[arr] Re: An open letter from the heart, to all rahmaniac brothers and sisters.

Nice write-up. I totally understand your feelings. I went through the same. 
especially after reading that IBNLive article I felt so sick and grieved, and 
decided to avoid reading anything about it on web or anywhere. And yes that 
tweet from that idiot on Vishal's profile hurt me so much and EXACTLY the same 
thought that how ungrateful we humans are came to my mind many a times. One 
song and all you have done for past 18 years is forgotten. this is what is 
shameful. I don't know whoever that person is but I HATE people like that so 
much. especially the people who do not bother to praise people on their 
achievements but are so willing to bring them down when they are having a 
little off time. I hope this bad time ends very soon and we never ever have to 
remember it again.

 Dear rahmaniacs,
 
 I didn't keep any sort of intention to prove anything while writing this 
 message. It's just an open communication to my beloved brothers and sisters 
 in this wonderful group. This whole fiasco surrounding the CWG theme is 
 killing me. Where ever I go online there's something written about it, and 
 the negativity is suffocating me slowly. For the last couple of days I have 
 stopped visiting movies and news online portals. It's like this fan club is 
 the only place where I can visit. Recently a tweet from a gentleman in 
 Vishal's page pushed me to the brink. I even cried, man.He said something, 
 which was beyond my imagination. Quote, pls ask him abt CWG anthem. Can he 
 do any worse? Shameful. This made me think how ungrateful people can get. 
 Keeping aside the fact that, ARR won 14 filmfare awards, four national 
 awards, sold over 100 million records, won a goldenglobe, a bafta and two 
 Oscars; this is the man who redefined Indian film music. He did good and much 
 for the Indian film industry is the understatement of the century. He made 
 bollywood cool. Not only shaped the music of India, but all new musicians or 
 should I say, this new era of music in the whole south asia is solely  
 influenced by Ar rahamn. I'm a Bangladeshi. Every new musician rises in our 
 country openly acknowledge ARR as their inspiration. I know so many 
 sri-lankans and Pakistani musicians living in USA, and every single one of 
 them said ARR is considered a musical god in their music industry. He's the 
 most recognized Indian world over. Sorry to say, even more than Sachin and 
 shahrukh. I lived in USA most of my life, honestly even before Oscars, 
 everyone knew him and respected him so much. And they still do.  He has 
 worked with western symphony and orchestra way before anyone could think 
 about it. Then how could a man, a legend of his stature be dragged down so 
 easily. The media fucked up we all know that. Not only in India, but 
 world-over , media creates controversy for their own profit. So this is 
 understandable, but how could general people write such things about rehman 
 sir. How could they? 
 
 There are still tears in my eyes, while I'm writing this letter. I thought I 
 should share it with someone, and what this is the only place I felt 
 comfortable doing it. Man we strive, to be like ARR. Young, talented 
 musicians work hard day and night to achieve the musical excellence or reach 
 even one fourth close to it. This kind of reaction from the general mass and 
 media is very discouraging. Then what's the worth of working hard if people 
 don't acknowledge your talent or effort. I know even ARR has his critiques, 
 and always had. It's very normal to dislike someone's work. It's a relative 
 thing, but writing remarks like he brought to this country is disgraceful and 
 inexcusable. I will never forget the people and the things they have said 
 about sir. He's my god, I can't take it. I don't see Lataji or Sachin ji 
 getting ridiculed like this. ARR's contribution is not an inch less than 
 them, it's actually more. It is very unfair. I don't get it. Of he was born 
 in Bnagladesh, he would have been considered as a national hero, the biggest 
 asset of the country, not a pop or musical icon that can be loved or hated 
 anytime. I'm extremely sorry for the way I'm reacting. But he's beyond these 
 things. I have no intention to hurt a yone, nwither I'm tryin to prove any 
 point. I'm just expressing my feelings to lighten myself up. I got very 
 emotional. I couldn't control myself and wrote this letter in the spontaneity 
 of the moment. I consider all the members here my brothers and sisters. If 
 you can't go to your friends, when our down, then who can you go to, right? 
 Anyways I apologize once again, for writing this long, boring letter to you 
 all. I hope you all get the inner meaning that I wanted to convey, going 
 beyond the writings. Take care, bye

 Danny Boyle's 127 Hours

 Many tears were shed at the world premiere screening of 127 Hours at the 
 Telluride Film Festival 
 on Saturday afternoon, reports John
  Horn in the Los Angeles Times. But few in the audience of 
 some 500 cried harder than Aron Ralston, the 
 hiker who famously cut off his right forearm and is the subject of 
 director Danny Boyle's  
 new movie. Boyle has described the film, which Fox Searchlight is  
 releasing on Nov 5, as an action movie in which the hero doesn't move...
   Boyle appears to have taken that as a challenge.
 Ralson's experience is disconcerting enough just to think about, and
  to see it recreated, in Mr Boyle's characteristically fast-moving, 
 immersive style, is jarring, thrilling and weirdly funny, blogs AO
  Scott for the New York Times. At a question-and-answer 
 session after the first screening on Saturday afternoon, Mr Boyle â 
 director of Trainspotting,
  28 Days Later and of 
 course Slumdog Millionaire,
  which snuck into Telluride two years ago â described himself as a 
 thoroughly 'urban' type with no great love for or interest in nature. 
 And the jangly, jumpy energy he brings to a story of silence, solitude 
 and confinement gives the film an irreverent kick that deepens and 
 sharpens its emotional and spiritual insights.
 
 As a harrowing 
 survival film, the picture is first-rate, and Boyle, star James Franco and 
 two 
 ambitious cameramen make the most of a tight space and the suspense of a
  terrifying ordeal, blogs the Hollywood Reporter's Jay
  A Fernandez. A word about that climactic act: Yes, it's 
 excruciating to watch, even as all of us knew it was coming, since Boyle
  and Franco play it very realistically But it's the sound design 
 that really captures the divine agony of Ralston's suffering. What he 
 did is some kind of miracle.
 
 It's gut-wrenching in a queasy, 
 horror-movie way â a shield-your-eyes-from-the-screen, 
 chuckle-in-relieved-astonishment sort of experience, done incredibly 
 well. Eugene
  Novikov at Cinematical: James Franco, who is on screen 
 alone for the vast majority of the film's short running time, is 
 perfectly cast and excellent. A lot of 127 Hours' 
 medical-procedure-like squeamishness actually comes from him â e.g. his 
 look of stunned incomprehension as the dust settles and he first beholds
  his arm crushed under a boulder, and his still-disbelieving frustration
  as he realizes that it ain't gonna come loose.
 
 Hitfix's Gregory
  Ellwood is moved and shaken and notes that Boyle is assisted by 
 exemplary cinematography credited to both Enrique Chediak and Anthony Dod 
 Mantle. AR Rahman, who famously 
 collaborated with Boyle on Slumdog, is back for a second go 
 around with new songs and compositions that eloquently fit the mood 
 (most appear to feature Dido in the 
 vocals). Rahman is also pitch perfect in his score for the film's most 
 dramatic moment, helping Boyle create the unexpectedly uplifting 
 conclusion.
 
 I found some of Boyle's visual ideas to be running 
 out of gas by the end of the film, and I imagine others might feel 
 burdened by a sense of repetition, too, notes Kristopher Tapley at In 
 Contention.

By Subhash K. Jha, September 8, 2010 - 11:32 IST

[image: A R Rahman]Abbas Tyrewala was in Chennai on Sunday and Monday trying
to get the last bit of his much-delayed music in *Jhootha Hi
Sahi*http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/broadband/video/Movie-Promos/9FQzwt32/3/Theatrical-Trailer-Jhootha-Hi-Sahi.html
in
place. The film is just weeks away from release date (Oct 15). And the
master-CD is still not in the harassed director's hands.

The formal music release by *Saregama* has been postponed until the music is
ready. But before that, a formal announcement of the music was to be made on
music reality-show which was recorded on Tuesday.

The 'master' was to be ready latest by Monday evening, so that the director
Abbas Tyrewala and composer A R Rahman could rush back from Chennai in time
to record the show on Tuesday. At the time of writing the music was still
not completed.

Trying to sound brave and not pressing the panic button, Tyrewala on Sunday
said from Chennai, I've been shuttling between Chennai and Mumbai. Staying
awake since Rahman works at nights, I've forgotten what jetlag is. I know
it's cutting it close. We are almost donefinally! We just need to add a
string section in the soundtrack. I am hopeful tomorrow it will be done and
we'll make it for the show.

Abbas jumps to the much-beleaguered Rahman's defence. When you want the
pinnacle of excellence, in the quality of songs in your film that only
Rahman can achieve, then you've to be prepared to be patient. Yes, I have
had to wait. But it's been worth it. Rahman has composed 7 songs and 2
re-mixes. That's a total of 9 tracks.

As for the delay, Abbas defends, What can Rahman do if suddenly three films
are all up for release at the same time, my*Jhootha Hi Sahi*, Danny Boyle's
*127 Hours* and Shankar's *Robot* are all being readied for release at the
same time. Have a heart. *Bachche ki jaan logey, kya?*

 I would have been unhappy if the media would have compared the theme to
 some other composer or artist. All they are doing is compare this theme with
 Rahman's previous presentations.

 So I must thank the media for acknowledging that ARR's music is
 uncomparable, and if at all comparable, it can be compared with only ARR's
 music alone !

delays has always been there. these people expect rahman to somehow have
the powers of superman, batman and spider man all rolled into one.

just because he has a Man in his name, does not mean he is a superhero.

[arr] RAHMAN RULZ DOODZ!

2010-09-08 Thread Triply

BREAKING NEWS!!

A new deadly virus seems to have afflicted the Indian populace. The virus,
dubbed Rahman Rulz Doodz, seem to affect certain Rahman fans. The
affliction seems to cause panic attacks, high blood pressure, ulcers, short
temper and, in extreme cases, depression.

Symptoms: Are you afflicted by Rahman Rulz Doodz? Here is a quick
questionnaire that helps you decide:

1. Do you get worked up when a new Rahman album is launched, but does not
release on the same day?
2. Do you find journalists yellow because they have something negative to
say about Rahman?
3. Is Ram Gopal Verma a useless guy because he thinks Rahman ruined film
music?
4. Is Anu Malik a swell dude because he supported Rahman's CWG theme?
5. Is the CWG is one big mess where no one there can be any good because
they were disappointed with Rahman's theme?
6. Is every new channel a house of lies because they run Rahman's CWG to the
ground?
7. Is IBNLive a wretched spawn of satan because they have derogatory things
to say about Rahman?
8. Do you feel that Rahman is giving his absolute best with masterpieces
like Komaram Puli, Endhiran and the CWG theme?
9. Is every one's opinion invalid, if they differ from yours, particularly
with reference to Rahman?
10. Do you think Rahman is a god?

If you answered yes to:-
A) less than 3 questions - you are relatively sane.
B) more than 2 questions but less than 5 questions - you are about to be
afflicted. Take care. Breathe deeply and calm yourself. You may be an
anorak.
C) more than 4 questions but less than 10 - Dude, you are totally afflicted.
Take a chill pill. Relax. Rahman Rulz Doode, but You Drools and that's
Roode.
D) all 10 questions - get a life. Seriously.

How to avoid the affliction:

1. Don't take everything you read about Rahman to heart. Sometimes, people
like saying nasty things, even if it is unwarranted.
2. Understand that not everything Rahman makes is a masterpiece. Not
everything Rahman composes will be liked by everyone. People can have strong
reactions to things they don't like, just like you can.
3. Understand that Rahman is not a god. He is only human. He can make
mistakes too.
4. Rahman is the best Indian music composer. It is a fact for everyone to
see. You needn't worry about someone not knowing that fact and make it your
personal quest to enlighten the poor deluded fool.

What to do you do to cure yourself of the affliction?

The cure is the other side of the affliction. Rahman has made some of the
greatest music on earth. Listen to it. Disregard external factors. Just
enjoy your private world, drowning in his music. Discuss the positive
aspects of his compositions. Don't get into a whole my gun is bigger than
yours argument with someone who strongly resents some composition. Just
agree to disagree and move on.

This group is one of my favourite hangouts and I have been here for quite
sometime. I love reading the different view points and discussions and I
love gauging the excitement when a new album is about to release. What I
don't like is the venom that is posted here. Whether it is against another
member, or some news channel, a web site, a composer, or anyone else.

Gopal created this for a community of Rahmaniacs. Let's not lose the Rah
and become plain maniacs.

Apologies if I offended anyone.

the song list looks awesome. ,,particularly the choice of singers. i think
'Call me Dil' also had Rahat Fateh Ali Khan along with Rahman. Not sure
though...I think I read that on Wikipedia...Tho now the list has changed a
bit.

Hope the music is good too.

[arr] Rahman composes song in 40 hours

2010-09-08 Thread SADIQ

AR Rahman might have taken six months to compose the theme song for the 
Commonwealth Games but he delivered a new composition for Madhu Mantena's, 
Jhootha Hi Sahi in a day-and-a-half. The maestro saw the film at his studio in 
Chennai last Friday and told director Abbas Tyrewalla that a title track would 
enhance the overall impact of the movie. 
Tyrewala was initially apprehensive as the John Abraham-starrer is scheduled to 
open on October 15. But Rahman assured him that he'd deliver the song in a 
couple of days.

Mantena confirms the news: We had recorded eight songs but no title track. 
Rahman insisted we had to have one and reasoned that it could play in the 
background just before the climax, so we didn't need to picturise it. To save 
time, Abbas suggested he give us only one `antara' (stanza) but Rahman came up 
with a complete song.
OUR BOSS ROCKS

The formal music release by *Saregama* has been postponed until the music

As for the delay, Abbas defends, What can Rahman do if suddenly three

[arr] Re: cry cry full song!!!! :D

I am loooving this song like anything!  It is sweet, soothing, playful, 
jazzy, and beautifully dressed up in a symphonic gown with flutes, bass guitar, 
acoustic guitar, bongos, ghungrus, and saxoophone.  Incredible instant appeal, 
esp. for those who like some jazzy flavors and I do love the lyrics too.  The 
interludes are extremely melodious and impactful and the ending just melts in 
your ears! Both Shreya and Rashid did an excellent job! 

The arrangements are crisp and the sound production seems top notch with no 
clutter. Yes, this song has breathing room, like the ARR of yore!  

I can't wait for the rest of the CD!  Let it release sooon!  I have a 
feeling this album is going to be one of ARR's biggest commercial hits in 
recent times. 

Please buy the CD guys once it releases!  Support ARR!

This one is false.  What is on Wikipedia right now is the correct one without 
the 10th and 11th tracks.

I really hope the official tracklist can go on the ARR website soon to end all 
confusion and speculation.

Atleast in tamil music, ARR was probably ( not sure ) the first MD to add 
something called theme music in cassettes. Before AR, the term 'theme music' 
was unheard, atleast to me.

 So many Out of the world themes from our boss makes me wonder if he is the

 Jeans love theme
 Swades theme
 Bombay theme
 Lathika's theme
 Duet theme - one of the best
 Roja theme
 spirit of rangeela
 vtv theme

 Also reminds me of another point...if ARR buys the director's vision and

[arr] Revisited a true and almost hidden ARR beauty......

The song: Tum Ho Meri Nicahon Main
Singers: Hariharan and Sujatha
The Album: Kabhi Na Kabhi
Year: 1997

This is one of the most beautiful and unique ARR songs ever.  I picture a 
beautiful figure skater when I hear this song...or a warm sunny day and gentle 
breeze...or a gently flowing water stream.or children laughing and playing 
innocently in a green field  I just can't describe the feeling I get when 
listening to that song.  The song itself is so classy, sweet, scintillating, 
innocent, pure, lilting, captivating, soothingneed I go on?  There is just 
no other song like it.

The symphonic soundscape that ARR has used is out of this world to such a 
bouncy waltz rhythm enraptured by Hariharan's and Sujatha's semi soft, nuanced 
semi classical singing.  The interludes are long and elaborated and oozing with 
sparkle, sweetness, and dignity.  I just love the flute in this song.

ARR's sound template even back then was so nuanced and varied and this song 
doesn't sound dated one bit.  

The other song I like very much in this album is Tu Hi Tu by Shreekumar and 
Chitra.  Another beauty!
