Hi Friends,

[arr] Ghajini' outstrips DDLJ to become biggest domestic earner

2009-01-10 Thread Bivin Chandra
New Delhi (IANS): Aamir Khan starrer 'Ghajini', which released to packed houses 
Dec 25, is on its way to create history by taking over the mantle of the 
biggest domestic earner so far, leaving behind 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'.

'Ghajini', a romantic action thriller that explores the life of a rich 
businessman who suffers from short-term memory loss following a violent 
incident, has earned Rs.2 billion ($41 million) in less than two weeks from its 
release.

The film has grossed Rs.1.62 billion in domestic markets and Rs.390 million 
have come from overseas markets till end of second week. The film is still 
running to packed houses and may cross more milestones.

'Ghajini', a film that introduced Asin to Hindi cinema opposite superstar 
Aamir, was released with 1,200 prints in the domestic market and in a lot of 
small towns where films are not often released in the first week.

In the overseas market, it is now second only to Karan Johar's hit film 'Kabhi 
Khushi Kabhi Gham' which collected Rs.440 million.

'Ghajini' first Hindi movie to cross Rs 200cr mark

8 Jan 2009, 2348 hrs IST, Meena Iyer, TNN













MUMBAI: Bollywood has shot to a new high, thanks to Ghajini. 





When booking for the movie opened at a theatre in the UK on Wednesday, the film 
became the first to gross Rs 200 crore at the worldwide box office. What's 
more, the mark has been achieved in little less than two weeks. It has grossed 
Rs 162 crore in the domestic market and Rs 39 crore has come from overseas till 
Thursday. 

An ecstatic Madhu Mantena, the Ghajini producer, admits to being overawed'' by 
the record but trade consultant Amod Mehra is apparently not surprised. The 
film was very strong from Day 1. It has been galloping like a one-horse race 
and, in my estimate, it will cross the Rs-250-crore (gross) mark very easily,'' 
Mehra said. 

Bollywood producer Punkej Kharbanda is also not surprised that a Hindi film has 
broken all previous box-office records. In the last year alone, there has been 
a 40% increase in cinema screens and also a rise in the cinema-going 
population, especially in the age group of 18-35. With most of the theatres 
recording good numbers on Ghajini, the Rs-200-crore mark is hardly a 
surprise,'' Kharbanda said. 

Ghajini released with the maximum number of prints in India (1,200 digital and 
analog versions) and it made inroads into even provincial towns where films 
never get released on the same day as the rest of the world. A trade source 
said, The film is set to take over the mantle of the highest domestic 
Bollywood earner from Anil Sharma's Gadar-Ek Prem Katha.'' 

In the overseas market, the film is, till now, second only to Karan Johar's 
Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna. 

Ghajini has also reportedly earned Rs 4 crore from gaming rights (a first for a 
Bollywood film), Rs 21 crore for satellite rights for India and overseas and 
something to the tune of Rs 10 crore for home video and music.

[arr] Ghajini BGM is Good, ARR's one of the best

2009-01-03 Thread Aaditya(Addy) *COOL*
BGM of Ghajini is like ARR's songs which will take time to grow. I watched the 
movie twice one with my friends and the other time with my parents..I initially 
didn't like the BGM when I watched it for the first time. When I watched the 
movie 2nd the BGM just blew my mind. BGMs were the survivors for the movie 
Ghajini in some parts else the movie would have been very boring to watch.
Some BGM's which were good were:
1.Behka Instrumental.
2.Behka Instrumental(sad).
3.Aye Bachuchu instrumental (soon after the song Aye Bachuchu).
4.Kaise Mujhe instrumental.
5.Flute usage in one scene before the girl narrates story to Jiah.
6.Run was bit different but was good.
7. Aamir's entry (when narration starts) not the first fighting scene.
Great usage of all songs in the movie, songs were lavishly spent. Except for 
Latto all songs were good in the movie. If this supposed to be done by one of 
ARR's assistants then I would say even that person had brilliant job. 
Overall the movie was good to watch and the BGMs were pleasing to ears.

watched Gajini a few days back. what a fantastic movie. the Script 
alone, I am sure, will bring them crores of rupees and make the movie 
a big success . Hope they will get a couple of hundred crores from 
the movie. The editing is excellent.

Unlike few other movies, None of actors have OVER-acted in any of the 
scenes. kudos to the director.

Music is fantastic. All the songs are very nice [few of them qualify 
for a national award].   I also felt the BGM is loud in some places. 
it could be the result of work by different programmers with differnt 
skill set and experience working on the BGM simultanously to meet  
the deadline. [and also Sridhar sir's demise.]

Just came back after Watching Ghajini..
 
For me..It was a superb movie..Three cheers..When I watched Tamil one..i 
doubted if anyone could overtake Surya's performance in the movie..Aamir just 
showed why he is called Mr.Perfect..Stunner of a performance..I am lost of 
words...
 
Coming to Rahman's work..the best placed songs in the movie were Guzarish and 
Kaise muje...Wish they could have shown more of Latoo...neverthless the 
picturisation of all the songs were really good...There was a huge roar among 
crowds as soon as Guzarish started..Lot of discussion has been going on 
BGM's..I felt the bgm's in ghajini were rahman's best of the year..after jodhaa 
akbar..It had Rahman written all over..The way he has used Behka was superb..
 
Overall...a superb movie...dont miss it..

I also felt the bgm was a bit lod , but the title score and the guzarish tones 
simply has rahman qualities written and sealed over it. Could have better a bit 
more audible this discussion would not be happening.

 doubted if anyone could overtake Surya's performance in the movie..Aamir
 just showed why he is called Mr.Perfect..Stunner of a performance..I am lost
 of words...

 Coming to Rahman's work..the best placed songs in the movie were Guzarish
 and Kaise muje...Wish they could have shown more of Latoo...neverthless the
 picturisation of all the songs were really good...There was a huge
 roar among crowds as soon as Guzarish started..Lot of discussion has been
 going on BGM's..I felt the bgm's in ghajini were rahman's best of the
 year..after jodhaa akbar..It had Rahman written all over..The way he has
 used Behka was superb..

 Overall...a superb movie...dont miss it..

  watched Gajini a few days back. what a fantastic movie. the Script
 alone, I am sure, will bring them crores of rupees and make the movie
 a big success . Hope they will get a couple of hundred crores from
 the movie. The editing is excellent.

 Unlike few other movies, None of actors have OVER-acted in any of the
 scenes. kudos to the director.

 Music is fantastic. All the songs are very nice [few of them qualify
 for a national award]. I also felt the BGM is loud in some places.
 it could be the result of work by different programmers with differnt
 skill set and experience working on the BGM simultanously to meet
 the deadline. [and also Sridhar sir's demise.]

  Rainbow FM interview

 I enjoyed ARR's interview in the rainbow FM yesterday. Very clear,
 crisp, realistic and intelligent answers for all the questions

2009-01-01 Thread karthik subramanian
Agree with Gomzy. Besides, the genre of the movie requires pulsating music of 
the kind he's delivered. Some of the pieces are ARR all the way. I thoroughly 
enjoyed the movie and the music!

boss come on. arr might have done because he wont let aamir down esp. for the

addl bgm programming was done by Pravin mani but it is not meant that he had 
done bgm.
 
Ilayaraja known for BGM was also used BGM loudly in a famous tamil thriller

the same technique arr has used and if it is not upto the mark of jaane tu it

I think and believe that Mr. Sridhar's untimely death had halted ARR 's full
time efforts on Ghajini BGMs. Although, the film did have the Divine Touch

I think there was not a single tune in BGM that touches our heart
Else ARR gives atleast one unique tune which doesnt resemble to any of the
song and very melodius...

[arr] Ghajini rakes in big money ( SEMI ARR)

2008-12-29 Thread Vithur
*Ghajini rakes in big money*



After Shah Rukh Khan's
[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=shah rukh
khan
] successful run with *Rab Ne Bana Di
Jodihttp://www.rediff.com/movies/rabne08.html
*, it is Aamir Khan
[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=aamir khan
] who is bringing in all the earnings for Bollywood this year with *Ghajini
http://www.rediff.com/movies/ghajini08.html*raking in Rs 40 crore in the
first four days of its inauguration.

This means, *Rab Ne* and *Ghajini
[Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=ghajini
] *together are likely to contribute over 20 percent to the overall box
office collections of top 50 Hindi films released in 2008. Trade pundits
estimate that 2008 will now generate Rs 900 crore to Rs 1,000 crore, or
about 15 percent more than last year's collections.

Before the release of both *Rab Ne* and *Ghajini*, box office collections of
top 50 Bollywood films was estimated at Rs 700 crore, about Rs 150 crore
short of the collections of 2007 films, say trade experts.

Now the Aamir-starrer remake of Tamil film by the same name, *Ghajini*, is
pegged to generate about Rs 100 crore within three weeks of its release on
December 25, while Shah Rukh's *Rab Ne* has already crossed collections of
Rs 100 crore, including those from the overseas market.

I do not expect any significant dip in the weekday's collections of *
Ghajini*. The box office report is overwhelming, Aamir Khan said on a
television channel on Sunday.

According to a Mumbai-based trade analyst, *Rab Ne* has already generated
profits of Rs 35 crore for Yash Raj Films, while *Ghajini *will do the same
for its producers Geetha Arts and its Indian distributors.

Earlier this month, leading box office analysts, including Komal Nahta and
Taran Adarsh, had told *Business Standard *how these two films were most
likely to bring back audiences to the theatres after the Mumbai terror
attacks [Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=mumbai
terror attacks] at the end of November.

The weekend shows were mostly booked well in advance in our Mumbai and
Delhi-NCR multiplexes. We expect a similar response the second weekend, a
senior marketing executive of a leading multiplex chain said.

In January, the focus will shift from Aamir and Shah Rukh to Akshay Kumar [
Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=akshay kumar], who
will be starring in *Chandni Chowk to China

i dont know who reviewed this. comparing HJ with arrnna. only people dont know 
anything
on music will do that.
 
hj has done good but ARR has done his job well in all the areas.
 
If many people(so called fans) are telling that BGM is not good,then peopel 
from outside
will tell something nonsense.
 
A critic should be perfect in giving his views esp. fans of ARR.
 
Of course Ghajini BGM's are less impressive than jaane tu and sakkarakatti, 
it is not bad and not less than 
tamil version.
 
Dont compare and tell rubbish about the music hereafter.telling nonsense about 
ARR's music esp.
by our fans has increased a lot now-a-days.
 
go and hear the saxophone part in Bekha song, it will tell about ARR.

Ghajini is already declared a Blockbuster… thanks to the buzz Aamir Khan 
created around the movie.
Let's see whether the buzz is justified or not.
Note - I have seen the original version (Tamil), so I'm bound to compare 
them.By now everyone knows the story of Ghajini, so I'm not going to write here.

No doubt Aamir Khan has given a terrific performance, but he beating 10 guys at 
one time is completely over the top. At one point in the movie, I thought that 
the makers should have roped in Sunny Deol and titled it Gadar – 2.Hope Aamir 
Khan does not send Ghajini to the Oscars, because all the respect he got from 
them will be washed out in no time.
I was expecting a lot from Asin, because the only thing I liked in the Tamil 
version was her…I liked her dialogue delivery, her peppiness and the overall 
character… but she disappointed me big time. Her Hindi is not up to the mark… 
most importantly her dialogue delivery is not even close to what she did in 
Tamil. These days we get loads of Tamil and Telugu movies dubbed in Hindi… have 
you heard them speak? They sound ridiculous… I wonder why they don't get 
professional native Hindi dubbing artists. Coming back to Asin, she sounds like 
them. Hope she improves on that in her upcoming movie London Dreams. Anyways, 
her acting is strictly average.
Jiah Khan has a small role to play, and she looks as plastic as she was in 
Nishabd. Sometimes such things work because the opposite actor (Aamir Khan) 
gets the brownie points. Poor girl does not even get to feature in a full 
length item number. The song 'Lattoo' starts… within a minute the focus shifts 
to action and the song is lost.
Pradeep Rawat, who also played the villain in Tamil version, is perfect.
A.R. Murugadoss should stick to Tamil movies because such movies won't work in 
Bollywood. There are too many loopholes in his direction. Ghajini is getting so 
much buzz just because it stars Aamir Khan.
Another disappointment came in the form of A R Rahman. I expected a lot from 
the maestro, but he gave some very ordinary tracks. The original version's 
music (composed by Harris Jayaraj) sounds like a classic comparing to this.
 

The movie belongs to the action genre and it scores in that department… thanks 
to Aamir Khan's Hulk look and rage.
Parents should take extra caution taking their kids to watch the movie, because 
it has some gruesome violence.
Final thought: If you like Sunny Deol kind of movies or Aamir Khan, you would 
love Ghajini, else it would be an average 
watch.http://www.bollynewz.com/review/movie-review-ghajini/-- regards,Vithur

[arr] GHAJINI is all set to be India’s first 100 crore film

2008-12-27 Thread Vinod Raju
Yes, GHAJINI is all set to be India's first 100 crore film
==

By Joginder Tuteja

While it's obvious by now that GHAJINI would break the opening 
record (currently held by SINGH IS KINNG that made 44 crores at the 
end of the first week), talks have steered towards a speculation if 
at the end of it's run, this Aamir Khan starrer would go on to be 
country's first film to net 100 crores. Well to put this speculation 
to rest, after observing the GHAJINI mania closely for the last 10 
days, I can safely presume that we are indeed looking at a 100 
crores milestone being comfortably crossed.

If one looks at the figures pouring in, it isn't rocket science 
actually to be able to deduce such momentous figure for the film. 
Wednesday preview shows, Thursday's limited shows and Friday's full 
fledged release (with RAB NE BANA DI JODI and other films in the 
running vacating some shows after Thursday) have brought in a mind 
boggling 20 crores already (this number could go up to 22 crores 
pending confirmation). With better collections over Saturday and 
Sunday, considering the fact that advance booking has already broken 
records all over), the 44 crores first week record of SINGH IS KINNG 
is all set to be broken by GHAJINI in it's weekend itself.

Even with a 50% fall in collections on the weekdays (which is on the 
higher side though considering this is a festive season all the way 
into the New Year and quite a few patrons are already on a vacation 
mood), 20 crores more are comfortably expected to be added on 
between Monday to Thursday. Add them all up and first week of 
GHAJINI could well be heading towards the 65 crores mark. 
Conservatively speaking, with a fall steeper than 50%, 60 crores 
first week is given.

With two more open weeks to follow before the release of CHANDNI 
CHOWK TO CHINA (on 16th January), it is inevitable that GHAJINI 
would go on to add at least 40 crores more. Though probability is 
that this number would be achieved in the fortnight to come at 
least, even in the worst case scenario we are looking at 100 crores 
milestone being comfortably met before the film's run comes to an 
end.

Aamir Khan has done it. And he has done it in a BIG way!

[arr] ghajini review - by a foreigner (ARR the biggest pull)

2008-12-27 Thread Anil Nair
First up, the music's by A.R. Rahman, and for all the good publicity he's
getting for his work on Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, I just had to
experience yet another piece of his musical magic on a film, besides one
that I've watched much earlier this year in Jodhaa Akbar. One just cannot
imagine how his musical talent will be put to good use in a film which looks
and feels like Memento, and this being the next best thing. Guzarish is a
track used in the trailer, and it is currently my new ear worm.

Yes, Bollywood's version naturally comes with built-in song and dance, which
for once I would have thought looked quite out of place in the movie, if not
for A.R. Rahman's score and music.

Actionhttp://twitchfilm.net/site/categories/category/action/
, Asia http://twitchfilm.net/site/categories/category/asia/.

The tattoos on the body, the Polaroid snaps, the notes scattered around the
house, and the smoking gun evidence? Short term memory loss, happening every
15 minutes. If this doesn't seem like Christopher Nolan's masterpiece
Memento, then I don't know what does. Written and directed by A.R.
Murugadoss, I don't see much of a nod of acknowledgement to Nolan's work,
and falls back on the fact that this is a Hindi remake of Murugadoss' own
Tamil movie of the same name Ghajini, produced in 2005 (Nolan's was in
2000), which joins the ranks of films having their titles named after the
chief villain.

In any case this isn't the first time that we see very obvious similarities
in premise and characters being adopted for Bollywood's own productions, and
the shot-in-Singapore Krrish comes to mind as well, as they had the entire
setting of John Woo's Paycheck incorporated into that film. But of course in
any version some merits could be found, but I believe some form of
acknowledgement would be in order, other than, in this case, a quick flash
of a very wordy disclaimer aboutGhajini being gleaned from various short
stories and material (and another paragraph which I missed given the fine
print, and short duration on screen, but I'm pretty sure no mention of
Memento).

Well, there are some reasons why I chose to watch this. First up, the
music's by A.R. Rahman, and for all the good publicity he's getting for his
work on Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, I just had to experience yet
another piece of his musical magic on a film, besides one that I've watched
much earlier this year in Jodhaa Akbar. One just cannot imagine how his
musical talent will be put to good use in a film which looks and feels like
Memento, and this being the next best thing. Guzarish is a track used in
the trailer, and it is currently my new ear worm.

Another reason is of course, Aamir Khan. Yet another prolific actor with a
penchant for perfection, it was interesting to see how his take on the
protagonist's short term memory loss, would rival that of Guy Pearce's. I'm
embarrassed to say I've only seen him in action in Lagaan, so this would be
yet another opportunity to witness his ability which can be measured against
a benchmark. But don't expect the same though, because Pearce's version was
more of a thinking man who questions and second guesses himself, while
Khan's version was in two parts to serve the story, one as a raging hulk
monster who tears through his opponents with savage violence fueled by anger
and hatred, coupled with the hurt he experienced and recalled (Hulk
producers take note, in case Edward Norton decides against any more sequels,
look in the direction of Aamir Khan), while the other as mild-mannered
Sanjay Singhania, CEO of a telecommunications company in Mumbai.

Yes, Bollywood's version naturally comes with built-in song and dance, which
for once I would have thought looked quite out of place in the movie, if not
for A.R. Rahman's score and music. While half of the movie might be seen as
a copy of Memento's premise and character, the other half served more to
allow the audience to share the pain with Sanjay. Nolan's version had you
experience the frustrating condition of the syndrome through its narrative
presentation, but this one junks the reverse chronology, and plays it out
flat and builds a rich back story for Sanjay, so much so that you'll root
for him as he goes on his rampage of revenge. You'll find yourself
entrenched in the romance between Sanjay and his lady love Kalpana (the
stunning Asin Thottumkal, who reprises her role from the 2005 version as
well), who's a model awaiting her big break, and a girl with a genuinely
good heart. The plot never fails to give her numerous moments to showcase
her good nature, and it's no surprise why anyone would not fall in love

[arr] Ghajini is a dumb film that celebrates its dumbness - Rajeev Masand

2008-12-26 Thread $ Pavan Kumar $
Plays it safe..doesnt mentions anything about the music...
 
He gives it 3/5

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masands-verdict-ghajini-is-dumb-and-celebrates-it/81344-8.html
 
Cast: Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan

Director: AR Murgadoss

Watching him in Ghajini, I don't think I've seen Aamir Khan having this much 
fun as an actor in a long time. 

It's an old-fashioned entertainer with a half-convincing plot, packed with 
enough gratuitous violence to qualify as a B-movie really; and like the most 
popular B-movies ever, the biggest strength of Ghajini lies in the fact that 
it's a fast-moving roller-coaster ride that seldom gives you a moment to stop 
and think how stupid it might actually be. 

In a premise clearly inspired by Christopher Nolan's Memento, Aamir Khan plays 
Sanjay Singhania, a hot-shot industrialist who turns into an obsessed killing 
machine dedicated to tracking down his girlfriend's killer. Having been hit on 
the head with an iron rod, he suffers from short-term memory loss and can't 
remember anything for longer than 15 minutes; as a result he must tattoo his 
body with instructions that will lead him to his prey. 

Abandoning Memento's fantastic non-linear narrative and opting for the more 
conventional flashback device, writer-director AR Murgadoss throws in an 
engaging back-story in the form of leading lady Asin (playing smalltime model 
Kalpana) and a love story brimming with originality and the kind of gentleness 
that you don't see at the movies anymore. It's a romance that takes you by 
surprise, and to an extent puts the film's intense action into perspective too. 

Faithful remake of the director's Tamil blockbuster, Ghajini is over-the-top 
and exaggerated in its comedy, its action and its drama, but what irks you most 
are the half-dozen or so creative liberties and coincidences that the makers 
resort to, in order to bail themselves out of tricky screenplay situations. 
Here's a little sample - you're expected to believe that Sanjay Singhania is a 
well-known millionaire industrialist, and yet no one has seen him in pictures 
or in person. 

Logical loopholes like these would be the albatross of any half-decent film, 
but Ghajini works despite its shortcomings because it's a reliably dumb film 
that is unpretentious in its intentions. Unlike many dumb films that take 
themselves way too seriously, Ghajini is a dumb film that celebrates its 
dumbness. 

Of course much of the film's appeal lies in watching leading man Aamir Khan 
approach his role with an unmatched fervor. Whether it's beefing up for the 
part, or oozing that schoolboy charm, or then the manner in which he explodes 
in rage each time he's reminded of Kalpana's brutal death, you can't take your 
eyes off the screen when he's up there. 

He finds a worthy nemesis in Pradeep Rawat who plays bad guy Ghajini, your 
stereoptypical 80s Bollywood villain, complete with gold chains, white shoes 
and menacing sneer. Rawat is decidedly loathsome, especially in the scene in 
which he enjoys watching our hero writhe helplessly as he offs his girlfriend 
in front of his eyes. 

At the emotional heart of the film is Tamil actress Asin making her Bollywood 
debut as the mischievous, happy-go-lucky Kalpana, who benefits from a 
superbly-written character that is hard to get out of your head even when the 
film's ended. Asin has undeniable screen presence and such joie de vivre that 
you can immediately relate with the hero's anguish over losing her. 

In a thankfully small role as the medical student who helps our hero achieve 
his goal is Jiah Khan who has a screechy voice and a forgettable presence. 

Ghajini isn't a particularly good film, but entertainment it delivers by the 
bucketful. At a running time of 3 hours, the film seldom drags and therein lies 
its victory. For the Singh Is Kinng generation, here's another time pass 
entertainer. 

I'm going with three out of five for director A R Murgadoss' Ghajini, this is 
Aamir Khan's way of telling us, 'Anything that Shah Rukh or Akshay can do, I 
can do just as well.' 

Watch it for the ride.

Watched the first show.

Bottom Line: You will love it if you havent watched the original in tamil.
Its tamil ditto , except for the last 20 mins. And has been improvised.

Music: ARR as usual scores well. As usual plays around with the main themes.
But what struck me is the way uses behka mein bekha tune for tragical
scenes. I thought he would use Kaise Mujhe. He uses the violin to play
behka, which then struck me that the tune is so similar to Nathiye (Rythm).

Kaise Mujhe is used in two halves. There is so much happening on screen that
its hard to concentrate on the music. Got to see it again :P

But there are a few scenes though when you feel that surya was better . A

Fully Agree with Gomzy. Same thoughts.

Liked th way AR has used Bekha. Was expecting some more stylish BGMs from
him for Amir gets down the flight. As it would have matched very wel with
the BMW  Mercedez Cars in the scene

The Director's influence has been much , as the scenes are just the same as
the Tamil ones, except for the ending. At times, it makes me wonder, if the
audience who are seeing the Hindi movie as the original one would be able to
understand. The screenplay has been very fast

The Tamil Movie was very heavy and made me feel pained, where as the Hindi
Ghajini was more on a lighter note, may because of the different ending

Gomzy... We share the same thoughts da,. Happy to know that.

[arr] Ghajini Music Review | 2 / 5 !!

2008-12-25 Thread Sreekrishnan R
Ghajini, AR RahmanT-Series




It may be that one of Bollywood’s most respected actors, Aamir
Khan, known for his studious portrayal of characters and his keen eye
for original scripts, has finally been influenced by Hollywood. Ghajini
is the story of a man who wakes up to find his girlfriend dead and his
short-term memory frayed. So, like Guy Pearce in Memento, he takes to
tattooing questions and notes on himself to figure it all out. The film
has been afforded the best of Bollywood talent when it comes to the
soundtrack, however.

Unfortunately, in spite of the music
director AR Rahman and singers such as Sonu Nigam it is at best soft,
bearable, sincere but mediocre. That is not to say the music is bad.
Given the amount of uninspired scores the industry churns out every
week, Sonu Nigam’s haunting rendition of Guzarish with Javed Ali is
lovely. Shreya Ghoshal’s playful take on Latoo (A Dazed State) is fun
with Rahman turning to a mix of tango to deliver a danceable track on
the album. Ghajini is Rahman’s fourth soundtrack release this year, and
for a man who is mostly known as a musical prodigy, this has been a
fantastic year, with releases such as Jodhaa Akbar and Jaane Tu Ya
Jaane Na, which have set musical benchmarks. But Ghajini, with all its
promise, fails to deliver just the right emotional slant that is needed
for a film with so much energy and acting prowess.

When I was watching NDTV yesterday I thought the stay order is worldwide and
not just for TN. What the hell this producer has been waiting for till the
last minute? This movie has been in the making for a long time. If the court
is meeting only after New Year then it will be a 2009 release, isn't it? I
thought this is one of the best promoted movies in recent times and this is
what you get now.

[arr] Ghajini Movie review - Indiafm

2008-12-23 Thread $ Pavan Kumar $
A.R. Rahman's music is top notch. At least three numbers have the unmistakable 
stamp of a genius -- 'Guzarish', 'Behka' and 'Kaise Mujhe'. Ravi Chandran's 
cinematography is stunning. The film bears a stylish look all through. The 
action sequences are brilliantly executed. The Hindi moviegoers haven't seen 
such scenes ever.

The wait is finally over! An Aamir Khan film is nothing short of an event. The 
supremely talented actor acts in one film a year and no two films are ever 
identical in terms of plotline. No wonder then that you await an Aamir starrer 
with bated breath.

GHAJINI, the Tamil version, has been a massive hit and so was its dubbed Telugu 
version. Will the Hindi adaptation live up to the humungous expectations? The 
hype is unmatched and you expect no less than a present-day masterpiece. 





Now the good news: GHAJINI demonstrates how strong film-making can enhance and 
elevate an already solid concept. 
GHAJINI is a revenge saga, one ingredient that has been the staple diet of 
Hindi films since time immemorial. It is a powerful film. It has the power to 
sweep you off your feet from the word 'go'. It has a riveting story, which has 
been told with flourish by director A.R. Murugadoss. And, of course, it has a 
knockout performance by Aamir Khan. If at all there's a shred of doubt whether 
Aamir is The Best in the business, all you've got to do is check out GHAJINI.

Flaws any? Running time [almost 3 hours]? Not at all! There's so much happening 
in every scene and the screenplay is so gripping that you don't feel the need 
to look at the auditorium ceiling or at your watch at brief intervals. You 
aren't restless. As moviegoers, we've watched countless good versus evil fares 
over the years and although GHAJINI belongs to the same family, not once does 
it take the beaten track. The story has been told differently and most 
importantly, the story offers so many twists-n-turns that you just can't guess 
what would unfold next. 

 Is it violent? It is, at times, but the violence here is justified. In fact, 
every time the protagonist bashes up the evil-doers, you clap and root for him. 
The climax is jaw-dropping -- dissimilar from the original, but it's an out of 
the world experience nonetheless. 

To sum up, GHAJINI is commercial Hindi cinema at its best. The film has 'Hit' 
written all over it. Let me put it this way: Cancel whatever you're doing today 
and go watch GHAJINI instead.

Aamir Khan is suffering from acute short-term memory loss set off by the 
violent murder of his girlfriend Asin. He's got to work around this handicap, 
but with methodical and meticulous determination. Aamir etches a path of clues 
that lead him on his road. 

To aid him in his quest, he carries around a sheaf of Polaroids and when he is 
really sure of a piece of information, he has it tattooed on his body, which 
stands in for the damaged part of his mind. His indelibly marked torso is the 
repository of his grief, his rage and his reason to go on living. 

Any more revelation would do gross injustice to the film and to its viewer. 

First things first! GHAJINI is not MEMENTO. There're minor similarities, but 
GHAJINI takes a completely different route to tell its story. Director A.R. 
Murugadoss tells this one differently. It starts off with what happens in the 
past, comes to the present-day, goes back in time again and returns to the 
contemporary again. This is a breathless, exciting story, heart-breaking and 
exhilarating at the same time. 

 Hindi movies have often depicted people suffering from amnesia/memory loss, 
but GHAJINI is poles apart because the protagonist recalls events only for 15 
minutes. The story is its USP, without a doubt. But what adds sheen and glory 
to the story is Aamir's portrayal of a man suffering from short-term memory 
loss. Aamir hardly speaks. In fact, the leading lady [Asin] speaks more than 
Aamir in the film. But Aamir speaks volumes with his eyes, he conveys whatever 
has to be conveyed through his body language, he says it all with his facial 
expressions and that only makes GHAJINI a memorable, never-seen-before 
experience. 

Director A.R. Murugadoss deserves brownie points for not just coming up with an 
interesting story, but also presenting it [refreshingly] differently. The 
storyteller balances the light moments and the ones demanding intensity with 
expertise. There's dum in every sequence. Even if the director has to depict 
violence, he doesn't resort to blood-n-gore or knives-swords-pistols for 
effect. 

A.R. Rahman's music is top notch. At least three numbers have the unmistakable

[arr] Ghajini music unconventional, but a sure hit

2008-12-23 Thread Bivin Chandra
Music Director: AR Rahman
Lyricist: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghoshal, Suzanne, Sonu Nigam, Karthik, Javed Ali
Rating: ***1/2

This has been an eventful year for music maestro AR Rahman with an endless list 
of his albums being released and most of them hitting bull's eye. Ghajini is no 
exception.

Ghajini not only boasts of Rahman's music but also has one of the finest 
lyricists, Prasoon Joshi, providing the poetic words to go with the tunes. 
Rahman has surely struck a chord with audiences in this movie, which has 
already made headlines for Aamir's look.

The first song Ghajini is already being hummed by many. A romantic track, this 
piece is slightly unconventional in terms of its musical arrangements. Javed 
Ali does not disappoint his mentor Rahman and pleases listeners with his superb 
rendition.

What makes it better is Sonu Nigam's humming right at the beginning and Prasoon 
Joshi's perfect lyrics. This one is a chartbuster for sure.

Aye Bachchu doesn't seem to come from Rahman's house of music. But this fun 
number should get people on the dance floor. Suzanne's rendition is good, but 
the lyrics don't impress as they aren't what one would expect from Prasoon 
Joshi.

Now this one's surely going to be a hit with music buffs. Rahman lives up to 
his name with Kaise Mujhe, a romantic ballad. The music has been kept slow and 
serene while the vocals by Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal are electric.

The use of the sitar gives the track an edge and the piano makes the romantic 
musical more attractive. And Rahman tops it by belting out an instrumental 
version as well!

Behka is also out on the small screen and is known for Aamir sporting different 
looks. The track is very unconventional and distinctive courtesy Rahman.

Karthik brings a youthful and fun feel to the track with his voice, while 
Rahman adds his bit to pep up with the help of slight rock and jazz overtones. 
The overall package is interesting.

Another number that sounds very unlike Rahman is Latoo. There are quite a few 
interesting yet unlikely things about this piece. First, Shreya Ghoshal, who 
has rarely lent her voice for a song of this genre. She, nevertheless, does an 
above average job.

Second, Rahman hardly composes songs of this kind and his stamp is missing 
here. Though Prasoon Joshi's lyrics are nice, his heart doesn't seem to have 
been in it while he penned them.

While the Ghajini album is fabulous, one cannot call it brilliant as certain 
songs don't live up to Rahman's earlier works. But his expertise and the superb 
vocals make up for it. The entire team has worked well and this clearly shows 
in the album.

Hi guys,

Just saw in the news that the producer of the tamil version of the movie has

If you've already booked your tickets for Aamir Khan's much awaited film *
Ghajini*, which was to release this Christmas, you might just be
disappointed. The all-India release of the film has been stayed by the
Madras High Court.

KBC Pictures had recently filed a suit in the High Court against the makers
of the film, saying that KBC Pictures have got the rights for the remake
from the original producer.

The producers of Aamir Khan starrer *Ghajini*, who woke up to the court
summons Monday, have been accused of infringement of KBC Pictures'
copyright. KBC Pictures is producing a film titled *Kahani Ghajini Ki*,
which has an Amitabh Bachchan lookalike in the lead.

[arr] Ghajini music unconventional, but a sure hit

2008-12-22 Thread Bivin Chandra
Music Director: AR Rahman
Lyricist: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghoshal, Suzanne, Sonu Nigam, Karthik, Javed Ali
Rating: ***1/2

This has been an eventful year for music maestro AR Rahman with an endless list 
of his albums being released and most of them hitting bull's eye. Ghajini is no 
exception.

Ghajini not only boasts of Rahman's music but also has one of the finest 
lyricists, Prasoon Joshi, providing the poetic words to go with the tunes. 
Rahman has surely struck a chord with audiences in this movie, which has 
already made headlines for Aamir's look.

The first song Ghajini is already being hummed by many. A romantic track, this 
piece is slightly unconventional in terms of its musical arrangements. Javed 
Ali does not disappoint his mentor Rahman and pleases listeners with his superb 
rendition.

What makes it better is Sonu Nigam's humming right at the beginning and Prasoon 
Joshi's perfect lyrics. This one is a chartbuster for sure.

Aye Bachchu doesn't seem to come from Rahman's house of music. But this fun 
number should get people on the dance floor. Suzanne's rendition is good, but 
the lyrics don't impress as they aren't what one would expect from Prasoon 
Joshi.

Now this one's surely going to be a hit with music buffs. Rahman lives up to 
his name with Kaise Mujhe, a romantic ballad. The music has been kept slow and 
serene while the vocals by Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal are electric.

The use of the sitar gives the track an edge and the piano makes the romantic 
musical more attractive. And Rahman tops it by belting out an instrumental 
version as well!

Behka is also out on the small screen and is known for Aamir sporting different 
looks. The track is very unconventional and distinctive courtesy Rahman.

Karthik brings a youthful and fun feel to the track with his voice, while 
Rahman adds his bit to pep up with the help of slight rock and jazz overtones. 
The overall package is interesting.

Another number that sounds very unlike Rahman is Latoo. There are quite a few 
interesting yet unlikely things about this piece. First, Shreya Ghoshal, who 
has rarely lent her voice for a song of this genre. She, nevertheless, does an 
above average job.

Second, Rahman hardly composes songs of this kind and his stamp is missing

[arr] Ghajini blogger review

2008-12-17 Thread Anil Nair
a reviewer whose words I always look forward to...

http://trublurahmaniac.blogspot.com/2008/12/ghajini-opening-of-kaise-mujhe-is.html

Ghajini

The opening of *Kaise Mujhe* is beautiful, when it opens you think you're
getting a dance
nhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o9SPi0Rbc8E/ST2Pj8Rk7II/ACA/aznUDCSNqHI/s1600-h/2h6vf2t.jpgumber
but it turns into this lilting piece with my latest favorite Benny Dayal who
does a convincing job. Shreya Ghoshal, as usual, is amazing. Dayal's high
notes could have been a little better, but I honestly think if men didn't
sing so high, then women wouldn't be forced to shriek. What is it with
Indian music and considering women who can hold a high pitch, good singers.
I had a friend once say that the only problem with most Indian music is that
the women are singing so high that it gave her the same feeling that she
gets when she hears nails being run down a blackboard. And I agree with her!
Wholeheartedly! If men would sing at a lower pitch women would sound normal.
As much as the instrumental version is beautiful, I think ARR should do
instrumentals like he did for Bombay(*Bombay Theme*). I'd rather hear
something other than the instrumental of a song from the same movie.

*Guzarish*, I think someone with a stronger voice would have been better.
Sonu Nigam sounds great, doing what he does best, crooning. The song has ARR
written all over it! Javed Ali….honestly sounds a little lackluster, like
he's just going through the motions. This song has a strong Enigma feel. I
like the laid back feel to the song. I'm not sure I care for the lyrics
however. *Bas ek haan ki guzarish…Phir honge khushiyon ki baarish….chanda,
aasmaan, baadhal, no chein*…..very cliche! It feels like he ran out of
lyrics and added an extra *paas* here and there. Very hummable however. Good
one.

Talk about experimentation. *Behka* is all that and more. It starts out
innocently enough. Karthik is just A-mazing in this one! I wasn't so sure
about this one when I heard it the first time. It sounded like the cd
whttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o9SPi0Rbc8E/ST89G0i8nwI/ACI/im4Q_Kc8qDE/s1600-h/07.gifas
skipping at that section where Karthik's voice skips. I love the way he
actually sounds like Aamir Khan in his stress on certain words. The sax
interludes and other bits in this song are mind-blowing! This song gives me
goose-bumps every time I hear the crescendo between 2:13 and 2:30. Between
the drums and the sax at this point I'm in heaven. The sax literally follows
the voice, throughout the song. And of course, the little treasures that ARR
always hides in his songs keep popping up each time I listen to the song.
It's like listening to a new song each time I play it on different speakers.
Love the end. It must be obvious by now that this one is my favorite in this
album. The ones that I don't get when I listen to the first time are the
ones that end up being my favorites. It had a *Main Aisa Kyun Hoon* feel to
it. Like the tone of the song was similar.

That's one step for man and a giant leap for mankind….Houston, the eagle has
landed. What the heck?!!! What on earth does it have to do with being *
Lattoo* on your *yaar*? Is Aamir supposed to be playing Neil Armstrong? Last
I heard he was playing a rich businessman called Sanjay Ramaswamy. *Mazari
Mazara Zimbabwe?* Lyrics! I disagree with the general opinion that Ghoshal
should only be singing lilters. I loved her singing in this one. It was
different and suited her just fine. I think she should do more of the same.
I didn't care too much for the constant repetition of *yaara yaara yaar aaya
mera*.

*Aye Bachoo*….nothing really stood out as exceedingly good or bad. Suzanne
D'Mello's same gal who sang for Slumdog Millionaire. Now that's a movie
worth watching. But in my opinion, the music trumps all. I broke out in
goosebumps several times during the movie…..but more on that later.
D'Mello's done a good job. Fresh sounding I like the electric guitar work,
and as always the ARR layering.

I don't know if the songs occur in the same sequence and time in this movie
as they did in the original Ghajini. When the songs from the original
released, they were a big hit, I listened to them fairly often. I think
only *Oru Maalai* and *Suttum Vizhi* were actually good. Of course that goes
with Surya and the red clothes in my head. He was super cute, which may be
why they were so popular. Drawing a parallel between the songs is not a very
good idea but inevitable. Let's see how they're picturized. I just might
watch this movie!

The tale of two songs


A reputed advertisement film maker was roped in by Aamir Khan to direct two 
songs in his forthcoming movie 'Ghajini'.

The
two tracks- 'Aye Bachoo' and 'Lattoo' were included as Aamir felt that
the movie with all its raw and powerful action scenes need to be
mellowed down with some groovy music.

Thus Ravi Udyawar who had
worked before with the star for the Samsung 'Next is What?' campaign
was selected as the right man to do the job after being recommended by
ace cinematographer Ravi K Chandran who knows his style of working well
and the producers getting fully satisfied after watching the various
commercials that he had made before including the ones for Chevrolet
and Limca.

The ad man's job was to visualize and direct two songs in a stylish manner.

Ravi
Udyawar says that 'Aye Bachoo' is the song through which Asin is
introduced in the movie and the paparazzi is shown getting wild as she
appears and walks the red carpet. She is also shown waking the ramp
like a supermodel.

A photo shoot session of the actress with men styled up as mafia gang members 
surrounding her is also there in the song.

[arr] Ghajini music - ARR on overdrive, no holds barred

2008-12-13 Thread Chord
http://www.masala.com/8811-music-of-ghajini

A.R. Rahman on overdrive, no holds barred
by Vishal Oberoi

How does he do it? Each and every time, A.R. Rahman has the ability to
bring forth a product that is not only unusual but also cutting-edge
and contagious, even though it may not seem so at first listen.

Ghajini oozes with a level of musical maturity that is far ahead of
its time. With unique formats and blended sounds, it's almost as if
Rahman has created a genre of his own.

Aye Bachchu is a power-track with a compelling female lead by
Suzanne (reminiscent of some of Rahman's classics like
Chandralekha). It has a rock-ish arrangement, similar in sound to
ARR's work on Rang De Basanti, and has a unique energy to it.

Behka is a classic example of the way Rahman's music grows on you.
The lyrical format of the verse is so outlandish that it can seem
almost bizarre at first listen. But by the second listen, one is
humming and singing along with it. This is the sign of ARR's extreme
confidence in his music, as he is able to comfortably add such
unconventional elements to his music in the effort to create a whole
new convention.

Guzarish has you hooked as soon as the opening mandolin notes and
rhythm unfold. Javed Ali's tender vocals give character to the song.
Along with Kaise Mujhe, these two tracks are haunting and smooth,
which give Ghajini a well-rounded spirit.

Shreya Ghoshal handles Latoo with finesse. The track starts off with
random speeches from space missions (similar to the usage of spoken
samples on the Theme of Daud), and develops into a Latino-Hip/Hop
inspired dance track, which is extremely catchy.

Balance sheet: Ekdum Hatke. That's the best and only way to put it.
Ghajini is Rahman on overdrive, no holds barred. Enjoy the ride!

'Ghajini' to arrive earlier

Post
26/11, film business has been hit hard. Most cineplexes are running to
negligible occupancy and in some instances, the management has been
forced to call off shows due to lack of audiences. Perhaps this may've
prompted people to assume that Aamir Khan's keenly anticipated
‘Ghajini’, which is confirmed for Thursday, 25th December, might get
pushed to the New Year. But it's not true!

On
the contrary, ‘Ghajini’ producer Madhu Mantena says that the film will
arrive earlier. Till now, the film was slated for release on Thursday,
25th December, but the makers have decided to release it on Wednesday,
24th December night. We're organising paid previews across the country
on Wednesday night, which means we're releasing ‘Ghajini’ a day
earlier, Madhu tells me.

Sure, the release date of ‘Ghajini’ has been altered. It's Wednesday, not 
Thursday!!

[arr] Ghajini was shot in sync sound - Asin ( SEMI ARR )

2008-12-10 Thread Vithur
 Hot property


Southern import Asin comes clean on controversial reports about her equation
with Ghajini hero Aamir Khan.

*What kind of response have you been getting after the promos of Ghajini?*
The responses have been very good. People are now waiting for the film to
release. A debut opposite Aamir Khan is an absolute dream-come-true. Though
I have done many films down South, this is like a baby step for me. Not only
the film is my first venture with a superstar, it is being directed by
Murugadoss and has music is by A R Rahman. It is a dream team.

*How comfortable are you with Hindi?*
Quite comfortable. Though I have been born and brought up in Kerala, I have
gone to a Naval Indian school where I have been exposed to Hindi. Many of my
teachers were North Indians, so since childhood I have been speaking the
language. Ghajini was shot in sync sound, and thankfully my Hindi was good,
I had no problems.

*A heroine of an Aamir starrer isn't left with much to do in the film. What
is your take on that?*
But as Aamir's heroine I am sure I will get fabulous exposure both
nationally and internationally.

*There were reports that before filming a romantic scene, Aamir went on long
walks with you.*
(Cuts in) I don't know from where such reports originate. I was comfortable
doing all types of scenes with him.

*Weren't you upset with your hero for not letting you speak to the press?*
That's absolutely untrue. I was completely shocked when I read this report.

*Didn't you want to clarify your stance then?*
As I said, initially I was surprised. After that I laughed it off.

*So, how was it working with the perfectionist Aamir?*
Oh, he's a very supportive and encouraging co-star. The media refers to him
as a perfectionist in the negative sense, but I find him absolutely
dedicated, passionate and focussed on his work. At the same time, he is
extremely down-to-earth without any airs about him. He lets the director be
the captain of the ship.

*Having been part of the Tamil version of Ghajini, what difference do you
find between the two heroes? *
Both of them have brought their own techniques to the role. Surya has
portrayed it in a different way. However, I think we should wait for the
film to release before discussing this further.

*Did you feel a sense of deja vu while performing as you had been there,
done that?*
Character-wise, there isn't anything different between the two. In both the
versions, my name is Kalpana, a girl from a lower-middle class family. She
is a struggler in an ad firm, one of the model types who to wants to make it
big in the ad industry. Though the character is the same, shooting for the
film was a new experience because we have made a few changes in the climax,
tweaked it a bit and added new action scenes. Also, except for the director,
the entire technical crew was new for me.

*Kalpana doesn't seem glamourous...*
No, she is not at all glamourous. A girl-next-door type, she is completely a
non-Bollywood kind of a heroine. But the role is so good that I didn't think
twice about doing it.

*You star in London Dreams opposite Salman Khan.What would you say is the
difference between the two Khans?*
On the contrary, I find a lot of similarities between the two. Both of them
are cool to work with, only Salman is more spontaneous. Even Ajay Devgan is
a pucca professional. He is quite a prankster and the three of us had a
great time. In fact, it was one of my best outdoor shoots.

*We heard you had signed a film with Akshay Kumar?*
No. Right now, I have only London Dreams.

*Are you doing any South films or are you looking at establishing yourself
in Bollywood first?*
I would like to do films that excite me. Language is not a barrier. Right
now, I haven't signed any films in the South, though. My immediate
commitment is to London Dreams, for which we will be shooting in Mumbai. A
major portion of the film has already been shot and only a few scenes and
songs are remaining.

*You are endorsing many brands from Colgate to Tanishq?*
Yes, so far I have endorsed around 60 brands. I started my career with ads.
And films were a natural progression. Besides the Colgate commercial, which
I have shot with Saif Ali Khan, I had done the Miranda ad with Zayed Khan.
Soon, I will be shooting for a Tata Sky ad too.

*With Aamir Khan?*
(Laughs) I don't know.

[arr] Ghajini was a difficult album to write: Prasoon Joshi

2008-12-10 Thread $ Pavan Kumar $
Ghajini was a difficult album to write: Prasoon Joshi

Ace lyricist Prasoon Joshi is the man behind the soulful romantic lyrics of 
Guzarish from Ghajini. He talks about Ghajini, working with legends like Aamir 
and Rahman and the recent terror attacks in Bombay. 



 
Tell us something about Ghajini's music.

All the songs are different from each other. Every single song is very good and 
close to my heart. There is a love song, a fight song, a sad song and a fun 
song. I guess Rahman has done a wonderful job again. It's completely different 
from our previous projects like Rang De Basanti and it was rather hard to make 
also.

Ghajini is a remake of a South Indian film, does the music also sound like the 
music of that film?

No, not at all! The music is totally different from the original film and has 
nothing to do with it.

Which is your favorite Ghajini song?

'Behka' is my favorite because none of the lyricists whom Rahman had approached 
were ready to write the song. It was quite difficult to write it so it is close 
to my heart.

You have been in Aamir Khan's camp since a long time. So do you choose the 
projects because of Aamir or do you read the scripts?

To a certain extent, it is because of Aamir and it is a mix of both 
professionalism and friendship. He is a perfectionist and chooses good movies 
and good scripts so we have a lot of faith in him.


 
How was it working with A.R.Rahman? What have you learnt from him?

Rahman is a chilled out friend. We have worked in many films together. Now the 
dosti has become so strong that sometimes I write the lyrics first and he 
composes a tune after that or he composes a tune and I fit in the lyrics. We 
cannot meet daily but we share a great rapport and mutual understanding. I feel 
at home while working with Rahman.

You have written a beautiful poem called Iss Baar Nahin on the Mumbai blasts. 
Where were you and what was going through your mind at the time the blasts took 
place?

I was in Chennai when the blasts happened. When I saw it first, I thought some 
gang-wars were taking place. But later on we came to know that it was a terror 
attack. On the very next day I took a flight back to Mumbai and was deeply 
saddened by what was happening. Some people come inside our country and damage 
our historical monument and kill our people. I mean the security was so bad.

Do you think the media should boycott Pakistani artists now?

No, why should we punish non-criminals? What have they done? Terror attacks 
have happened in Pakistan also and people have died there too. It is not 
Pakistani civilians who killed our Indians. It's the terrorist who did it. We 
should tighten our security, that's it. We need some strict laws against 
terrorists.

Ghajini Songs
  

Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental)/Kaise Mujhe - Benny Dayal, Shreya Goshal
From being a boring song after the first listening, this song has
gone on to become what I would call a haunting melody, the kind of song
that lingers in your mind long after you have stopped listening to it
and transforms you to a sort of tranquil state. At least that’s what it
has done to me. But, it wasn’t the vocal, but the instrumental version,
that did that to me. The flute parts are so beautiful! I started
enjoying the vocal version only after the instrumental version had me
mesmerized by it.

Aye Bachchoo – Suzanne
This song is in complete contrast to Kaise Mujhe. I liked it
instantly the first time I listened to it. Makes you want to increase
the volume, sit back, tap your feet and enjoy.
Guzarish - Javed Ali, Sonu Nigam
The humming in this song that was there in the first trailer of this
movie had me hooked to it big time that there have been days when I
have spent something like half an hour or so listening to just the
trailer on a loop! I was very eagerly waiting for the audio of Ghajini to 
release soon just for listening to this song. After listening to the
full song, the humming parts are the ones that I still find to be the
best part of the song. Sonu Nigam rocks!
Behka – Karthik
I am listening to it on repeat mode now. Excellent song! Karthik has sung it 
really well. I like the way the music of Guzarish has been beautifully blended 
in between in this song.
Latoo - Shreya Goshal  backing/additional vocal by many more singers
Super song! All the singers are amazing in this song! I just loved the Yaar 
Yaar Yaar Mera Yaar parts and the transition from yaar yaar to O Palak Kyun.
With yet another treat from Rahman for us Rahmaniacs this year, 2008
is always going to remain a year that we Rahmaniacs will fondly
remember for years to come.  Thank you, Rahman!

[arr] Ghajini audio review - Independent reviewer

2008-12-08 Thread AR Rahman The Boss


Song 1 - Guzarish song

Nice start is how a song initially gets through into audience's heart. It walks 
directly through straight and later on it becomes a nostalgia. This particular 
song is of that type. The way Sonu Nigam hums for initially and in the 
background and in the end, sets the pitch for Javed Ali. The little 
inexperienced Javed Ali hands the baton from where Sonu starts and handles it 
nicely till the end. There is no much scope for Sonu here, but without that 
emphatic start and the end the song would feel soulless.

A.R.Rahman's new found singer Javed Ali completely steals the show with this 
song. This flag bearer song is rightly mixed with proportions of melodic beats, 
mandolin (by Seenu), and all other instrumentation. No flaws at all. Prasoon 
Joshi's lyrics also starts to haunt you once you are addicted to the song. Tu 
meri adhuri pyaas pyaas shows the zest and passion of love. Simply amazing 
song.

Five stars for the song.

Song 2 - Aye Bachu

The song starts with a little disturbed or unclear vocal and by the time music 
starts it really bangs. It really bursts into a party mode, not fully though 
but yes in bits and pieces somewhere between. Suzanne hits the right chord and 
pace for the song.

The pace of the song varies from stance to stance. There are at least three 
different pace a slower one while starting with lyrics Jhoom le jhoomjhama, 
it gets little more pace starting Halka sa nasha hai and reaches the maximum 
by Suno yaaron suno ek raaz gehra.

The lyrics are also like flying and seductive. I personally liked the one 
stance starting with Halka sa nasha hai masti ki wine mein.

But before getting to enjoy the song in full, it ends abruptly at 3:40 minutes. 
I had to listen to a second time to fulfil the missing part.

Three stars for the song.

Song 3 - Kaise Mujhe

Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal are the singers. But I would like to give a 
preference in the components first starting with Shreya, lyrics of the song, 
and then Benny. Do not know why I always tend to wait till 2:56 minutes to hear 
Shreya sing even though Benny does a decent job. I would have really loved a 
full version by Shreya also in the CD. She makes the song so smooth and 
soothing to ears that I feel emotionless for 1:30 minutes which she sings.

But this does not in any way discredit Benny's good role. The lyrics of the 
song is clearly audible as it is a slow paced melodious song and thereby 
providing with you a sense of enjoying the song by singing with it. I recommend 
to hear this sound with the best of headphones available in the market.

Five stars for the song.

Song 4 - Behka

Shake you body, baby. Yes this is what I thought and what I did while hearing 
this song, even for the first time. A peppy number, where Rahman is playing 
with all types of instruments (though I am not clear which all, and who cares 
if it entertains you).

There appears to be some distorted music in background at pause of vocals, and 
it is clearly audible at start till 0:23 minutes. I initially imagined it to be 
some trouble with the music system I am playing, but later on was noticing the 
same distorted pitches hanging around with silent beats. Nice work. Can't 
imagine what all are getting into Rahman's kitty to make music. The Sax by 
Martin is also noticeable. 

Hear this song in a 5.1 system with a little bass over treble and dance (even 
if you do not know), and shake your body baby.

Three and a half stars for the song.

Song 5 - Latoo

Ooh. Is this song sung by the same Shreya Ghoshal? I cannot believe this. Such 
an electrification in her voice and high tempo ed Shreya, simply unbelievable. 
I had to check and recheck the printed label on the CD, for any mistakes. There 
are no mistakes, and Shreya astonishes everyone. No one would have thought that 
Shreya can deliver such a note, and pitch. All praises for her.

A sure hit among Shaadi's, this number is a reply by Rahman for the Jab we 
met item Mauja

Three and a half stars for the song.

Song 6 - Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental)

Rahman's keyboard weaves magic along with Shreya's humming. They both makes you 
floating in the air. Therefrom flute (performed by Kiran) handles the track, 
and it is very interesting. But a full vocal number with Shreya singing would 
have made this album more appropriate.

Three stars for the song.

Overall album rating 4.5 stars

At last, I would like to pay my homages to Late H.Sridhar, who has been a 
fitting companion to Music Director A.R.Rahman starting from Roja (also he has 
worked with Ilayaraja), till Ghajini.

Ghajini*Ghajini *
*Artist: *
*Lyricist:* Prasoon Joshi
*Music Director: *A R Rahman
*Genre: -* Bollywood
*Label: -*
--

For all those Christopher Nolan's Memento fans, Ghajini remains singularly
the most awaited film, to see how the remake or borrowed or inspired theme
has turned out. 'Memento' till today remains the most complex film made and
Aamir Khan and the director Ramadoss has some really huge and tough shoes to
walk in. But for the time being the music of the movie has hit the mark.

Guzarish is already a hit. It has the right ingredients in the right amount
to make it the most popular song of the album, not necessarily the best one.
Javed Ali high on Jashn-e-Bahara success has done full justice to the easy
and identifiable words of Prasoon Joshi and a simple but effective tune from
A.R.Rahman. The song caters to almost all class of listeners and therefore
remains the one most played.

Both Rahman and Joshi come into their element with Aye Bachchu. Prasoon
Joshi has used the mix of English and Hindi words in the correct context and
more importantly in the right amount. Rahman has composed this fast track
with much complex change of rhythms, tempo and scale. Though some heavy
Guitar and electronic sounds are used extensively in the song it does not
sound garish or over powering. But the song belongs to Suzanne who has sung
it with a lot of energy and attitude.

Benny Dayal sings the soft romantic duet with Shreya ghosal after the recent
hit Tu meri dost hai, which otherwise would have been sung by his mentor
Rahman. Kaise Mujhe is a perfect song for Rahman himself, from the melody to
the scale, but having said that Benny Dayal does full justice to this
wonderfully written song. In fact this is a much better sung and composed
song than 'Tu meri Dost hai' from 'Yuvraj'.


Karthik sings the most complex song of the album simply and smartly called
'Behka'. Difficult to slot it in one particular genre, Behka meshes
different styles seamlessly. There are various ups and downs in the scales
and tempo and the arrangement is ultra modern. Though the style has been
attempted by Rahman earlier in many of his South Indian projects this is the
first in Hindi cinema. Perhaps the most challenging job was done by the
singer. The antra of the song is a challenge to any of the contemporary
singers.

Shreya sings the fast paced Lattoo, not at all suitable to her style, but
does a fantastic job nevertheless. Her rendition of the song is smooth, not
overdoing nor holding much back. The chorus lines, the arrangements and the
continuous melody are all spot on. All the three songs Aye Bachchu, Behka
and Lattoo are fast paced songs but all are different from each other in its
treatment of the sound and words. Herein lays the strength of this album.

Both Prasoon Joshi and Rahman has worked really well to create truly
different and original work in its music and lyrics with new vocabulary.
Though it is Guzarish that is topping the charts, the other four tracks are
equally good or even better. The only worry is the complete contrast of the
movie genre and music style. But that is the director's problem not the
composer's.

[arr] Ghajini is full of energy

2008-12-05 Thread Vithur
  *Sonia Chopra
*   Not in a long, long time has one heard an album that's so alive and full
of energy while containing its romantic melodic rhythm. The album
encompasses essentially romantic and dancy tracks; but in both the
varieties, the mood is joyful and upbeat. This is Rahman's fourth album in
the year, and is on par with *Jodhaa-Akbar* and *Jaane Tu*'s music, albeit
very different in temperament. You don't want to miss this one! *

Guzarish *
The first song in the album is a romantic one with accent given to its
melodious tune. The star of the song is singer Javed Ali. After singing
Jashn-e-Bahaara in Jodhaa Akbar and Tu Muskura in Yuvvraaj, it appears that
Javed will be a permanent fixture with Rahman.

And one hopes so, as he puts in a wonderfully spirited rendition of the
song, infusing life into every word. (Sonu Nigam as the guest vocalist only
hums, and has no words to perform.)

The mood of Guzarish changes from being pensive to the middle upbeat
portion. Words like Tu meri adhuri pyaas pyaas; tu aa gayee mann ko raas
raas, are simple yet memorable. A wonderful, melodic start to the album. *

Aye Bachchu*
The song begins with the sound of claps and the distorted guitar. You're
going to love this track if you let yourself go for it uninhibited. Singer
Suzanne is untiringly feisty as she blazes through the song singing in her
no-holds-barred style.

The lyrics match the song's madness with words like Masti ki wine mein,
jeene ka hai chaska. Suzzane's singing reminded me of the unaffected nature
of my personal favorite Alainis Morissette. A great song that can be enjoyed
again and again. *

Kaise Mujhe*
Benny Dayal (also sang for Jaane Tu…Na Jaane Na) and Shreya Ghoshal were
last heard in Tu hi to meri dost hai from Yuvvraaj. In this album, they sing
the third song -- Kaise Mujhe.

The first half of the song is only Dayal singing and the mood is breezily
romantic. His singing in some portions reminded one of AR Rahman's style.
The piano bestows a calming effect.

Towards the second half of the song, the familiar strains of Shreya Ghosal's
voice appears. A pure, heart-felt mush song. *

Behka*
The star of the album, according to me. Bekha has been sung splendidly by
Karthik. The music has several hooks and plays around with varied music
genres like pop, hip-hop and jazz. You can hear the saxophone at one moment,
the drums in another, and the violin as well. It makes for a wonderful
medley that must be relished again and again.

Lyrics are wonderful; but it's not so much the words as how they are
rendered that sets the song apart. Bekha reminds one of the songs from
Rangeela, especially Kya Kare (what a coincidence for both to be picturised
on Aamir Khan). *

Latoo *
You double-check the cover to confirm the singer is indeed Shreya Ghosal.
For this song is anything but vintage Ghosal – it's not romantic in the
conventional sense and not mushy. Latoo is the kind of song you'd expect
only Sunidhi Chauhan could do justice to. But Ghosal surprises the listeners
with her upbeat rendition.

A sure-hit at shaadis and parties, Latoo is a super-dancy number with the
beats and all. Lyrics are fun with lines like pani mein pa who hai; dhani
mein dha who hai. *

Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental) *
A calming end to the album, with wonderfully serene music. There are no
lyrics, but Shreya Ghosal's aalap while singing the `theme tune' adds to the
haunting quality of this piece.

*Verdict: *Three-and-a-half stars

[arr] Ghajini is definitely Rahman’s strongest album this year

2008-11-30 Thread Vithur
What seems like a wait that lasted decades is slowly coming to an end. As
cinegoers await A.R. Murugadoss's *Ghajini* to the hit the screens, the
music of the eagerly awaited remake of the Tamil blockbuster (of the same
name) has hit the stores. Partially inspired by Chris Nolan's *Memento*, *
Ghajini*'s Hindi remake stars Aamir Khan and South-Indian actress Asin, who
reprises her original role again for the remake. While the original score
was done by Harris Jayaraj (*Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein*), A. R. Rahman is
sitting in the music director's chair this time round. Accompanying him is
lyricist Prasoon Joshi (*Rang De Basanti* and *Taare Zameen Par*).

*Ghajini*'s list of singers comprise of Javed Ali ('Jashn-e-Bahara' - *Jodha
Akbar*), Benny Dayal ('Tu Meri Dost Hai' - *Yuvvraaj*), Shreya Ghosal, Suzy
Q ('S for Sonia' - *Kidnap* and 'Mahiya' - *Awarapan*), Sonu Nigam (guest
appearance) and South singing sensation Karthik who sings his first
full-fledged Hindi number.

*Ghajini* is produced under the banner of Allu Aravind and hits the screens
on 25th December 2008.

The album begins with the already popular *Guzarish* sung by Javed Ali. The
track commences with guest vocals by Sonu Nigam who is heard through the
song. While Javed Ali's rendition is effective, it lacks the emotion that
the lyrics demand. Sonu's vocals on the other hand, although mere humming,
enrich the song and makes one wonder if Sonu would have been a better choice
to sing the number than Javed. The music has a soothing and relatively
simple melody, almost mediocre. Lyrics have been penned well by Joshi,
especially the verses in the middle that depict the protagonist's fears of
losing his beloved through metaphors of dreams made of glass and heavy
clouds threatening to obscure the moon. It seems that too much emphasis was
put on rhyming words in the chorus, and this may have worked towards it
mediocrity.

Next is *Aye Bachchu*, a hip and rocking track, sung enthusiastically by
Suzy Q. Her western style of singing suits this track to the T and unlike
her peppy number 'S for Sonia' in *Kidnap*, 'Aye Bachchu' does not reek of
pretentiousness. The music is fast-paced, full of cool attitude and oomph
and transcends Rahman's previous so-called dance numbers ('Pappu' - *Jaane
Tu* and 'Shano Shano' - *Yuvvraaj*). Prasoon Joshi pens an excellent track
about seizing the moment and living life to the fullest. Most likely to be
picturised on Jiah Khan, this track will go a long way if it is well
choreographed.

The album slows down with *Kaise Mujhe*, rendered by the Benny Dayal and
Shreya Ghosal, who recently impressed audiences with 'Tu Meri Dost Hai' from
*Yuvvraaj*. Benny gives a power-house performance for someone who has just
debuted. His rendition mirrors the intense emotional lyrics (excellently
penned by Joshi) and tugs on your heart strings. Shreya emerges in the later
portions of the track and also impresses. Musically, the track is relatively
traditional with just the right amount of modern touches. The track also
appears as an instrumental later on in the album.

Karthik's *Behka* is up next. A jazzy track that has all the makings of an
excellent show number, it is brilliantly rendered by Karthik. Karthik has
the lovelorn, head-over-heels feel of the song down pat. A member of *
Ghajini*'s Tamil soundtrack, listeners are urged to check out Karthik's 'Oru
Maalai'. The music is outstanding, especially the drums in the latter
portions of the song. Joshi pens another brilliant song that takes a poetic
and somewhat comic take on being in love from a guy's perspective.

After 'Behka' comes the vibrant and energetic *Latoo* sung by an equally
vibrant Shreya Ghoshal. The track is full of life, very much like Asin's
character, beautiful and playful. Once again the musical and lyrical talents
of Rahman and Joshi create magic. Like 'Behka', 'Latoo' is a sweet and comic
take on a girl head-over-heels in love. Joshi depicts this brilliantly while
Rahman reflects those emotions with a lively mix of modern sounds.

In comparison with the Tamil soundtrack, *Ghajni*'s Hindi remake maintains
the high caliber of music that was given by Harris Jayaraj. Also, like
original, the album is relatively lively and romantic for a movie that is
quite grim and action orientated.

*Ghajini* suffers from the great-expectations syndrome. The prolonged heavy
media coverage combined with the pressure of matching the blockbuster status
of the original, not to mention the scrutinizing eyes of the fans of the
original film, will no doubt cause the music to be heavily construed upon.
As a result, its appeal may vary with varying audiences.

Nonetheless, *Ghajini* is definitely Rahman's strongest album this year.
'Guzarish', while being popular with the masses, is musically and lyrically
quite mediocre. 'Kaise Mujhe' might prove to be too intense and situational
for some, despite it being a power-house of a song. Jazzy 'Behka', rocking
'Aye Bachchu' and the lively 'Latoo'

In
Rahman’s recent Tamil soundtrack ‘Sakkarakatti’, there is this song ‘I
miss u da’, where Rahman tries to bend the rules, break convention on
how not just a Indian film song but any song should sound, but the song
is just that, it just bends the sound but not the music. It is one of
the classic examples where there is more of Rahman’s sound than
Rahman’s music. 

Some of the very deeply emotive and soul
stirring melodic phrases are in “Ghajini” soundtrack like those hums,
hoons and hymns of Sonu Nigam throughout the extremely catchy
‘Guzairsh’, which on surface sounds like a routine love ballad with a
familiar repetitive rhythm. It is Sonu’s soothing interruptions that
take the song a notch higher with its emotional content. Though Kavitha
Baliga’s operatic interlude sounds like an after thought, it is rare to
find a Rahman song with such a simple sounding interlude that creates
an aural ambience around the listener. 

Equally soothing is
Shreya’s humming in Kaise Mujhe with which she starts her part of the
song, after Benny quite uncomfortably wanders through a tedious melody
that has more silence in between phrases which sounds more manufactured
than naturally fallen, so as to bring out the effect and emotion in the
melody fabricated around those silences in between. But inspite of a
very unconventional flow of the melody, with some touching phrases of
melody and with the clever and an aurally alluring orchestration (which
is more so evident in its blissful instrumental version) Rahman manages
to convince at least those for whom a song need not be instantly hooky. 

Bekha is unarguably THE song of the soundtrack where Karthik
seems to have had a blast singing it. The attitude, expression and
rendition of Karthik is mind blowing in this song, just listen to the
way he casually rounds off those rough western notes in a sweet
classical way. Rahman goes a little further from where he left in
‘September Maatham’ from Alaipayuthey (or ‘Chori pe chori’ from
Saathiya) in writing unconventional melodies that makes lyricists go
mad in finding words to fit the tune. The song sounds as if all those
complex phrases of melody and counter saxophone pieces just flew
instinctively out of Rahman’s mind when he went into the same euphoric
and romantic mood in which the character in the movie is when he sings
this song. 

The sound heavy ‘Aye Bachchu’ is an enjoyable
Rahman cliché with abundant layers, e-sounds and loops and head banging
rocking guitars and percussions. Once the song gains momentum with
‘Jhoom le’, it refuses to stop and make us swing with its rhythm.
Coming to ‘Latto’, by using Shreya Ghosal, with the addictive ‘Yaar
Yaar’ hook and the interesting vocal harmonies in the interludes,
Rahman sold it to me. When you put these two songs on your noise
canceling headphones, you are in a unique Rahman’s sound universe where
each sound makes some sense and doesn’t add up as a cacophony. 

To continue from where I left in the beginning, 

When
Rahman’s sound is almost in balance with Rahman’s music, we get a
soundtrack like Ghajini. Sometimes while doing so, Rahman asks too much
from his listeners, he takes them too far a place where they are so
uncomfortable, not because they don’t like the place but because they
haven’t been there before. But indeed by Rahman standards, it isn’t an
extremely unconventional or path breaking soundtrack, it is just (just
is just because it is Rahman) an enjoyable and a vibrant soundtrack apt
for a commercial movie like Ghajini and the one that has its highs and
lows and those who want to like it will like it for those highs,
patiently waiting in those few lows for the next following high. And I
am one of them.

Needless to say all songs are rocking and from the very first

  us. In this song, the instrument (is it strumming???) that creeps in
  from 0:41 and continues thereafter is a piece that we know of, that
  was used recently by boss in one of the other movies. The question is,
  where was it used? In case you dind't understand which exact piece I
  am referring to it is the piece that can be distinctly heard at 0:56
  to 1:01. Should be easy :)

i think its a mixture of Jazz, hip hop, and rock and not finished in it it has 
a good melody inside also like when karthik sings the words jaise phoolon ki 
its awesome man especially the ending of the song is superb with behkam main 
which has rock and jazz mixed in other words it can also be called punk music 
attempt by rahman
just like style from sivaji
