Love it TOO GOOD! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Triply tri...@... wrote: 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.

[arr] Re: Would love to hear your thoughts......
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? --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, AJ purev...@... wrote: Someone from another ARR site wrote this comment which has validated some of my thoughts about ARR's music recently: What I've noticed from JTYJN and the Cry Cry track is that the Tyrewala-ARR songs aren't buried under an avalanche of sound.

Is it constructive criticism to say that some of ARR's songs today are often too cluttered and under an avalanche of sound? I posted something about this a little while back about how ARRs songs of yesterday had more space and more breathing room. Do these factors help to make an ARR album more appealing in general? Please don't get into an ARR yesterday vs. ARR today war.

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.

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. http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117943437.html?categoryid=31cs=1nid=2562 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Indian-Movie-BGMS/146146955399503 http://indian-music-bgm.blogspot.com/Â Please do not add me in YM.

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.

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!

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 interludes are long and elaborated and oozing with sparkle, sweetness, and dignity. I just love the flute in this song.

(Hollywood Reporter) Two years ago, Danny Boyle held the first public screening of Slumdog Millionaire at the Telluride Film Festival. The rest, as they say, is history. Boyle was determined to complete his new film, 127 Hours, in time for this year's Labor Day holiday weekend event, and it premiered to loud ovations -- and a few squeals of terror. Boyle knew he had a narrow window of opportunity to take advantage of the worldwide success of Slumdog, and he decided to tackle a risky piece of material, inspired by Aron Ralston's ordeal when he was trapped in a narrow canyon in 2003. This Fox Searchlight film has disturbingly graphic images, and it presents another challenge for audiences in that for most of the movie, we are confined in the canyon with just one actor, the remarkable James Franco. But Boyle is such a gifted director that he overcomes the obstacles and might even match the commercial success of his earlier Oscar winner. Boyle assembled many of the people who worked with him on Slumdog including screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, producer Christian Colson, composer A.R. Rahman and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (who shares credit with Enrique Chediak). Maybe it's the comfort of the collaboration that helps account for the apparent effortlessness of the filmmaking. The film opens with a bang, with lots of split-screen effects and speeded-up digital images, as Aron heads off for a trip through Canyonland National Park in Utah. Boyle has demonstrated visual razzle dazzle and kinetic editing since his early films, Shallow Grave and

Of course, it's all they wanted – make unsound judgments and seek the fame. Starting off with BJP Leader and Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee Executive Board Member V.K. Malhotra, his statements pertaining to the theme song is completely rubbish. He has uttered that theme songs completely lack soul and this wasn't something they expected from A.R. Rahman, who churned out some of the evergreen songs like `Maa Tuje Salaam'. If V.K. Malhotra wanted same-fangled song, he could have better recorded this song's lyrics with same tune of `Vande Mataram'. Will that make sense? So are his reasoning abilities. A.R. Rahman holds special mention for redefining the New Line of Indian Music at global standards. Even his earliest works delivered in 90s holds great prominence in World famous charts of Billboard. He holds great mention for accomplishing with Next-Gen music from time to time. And about V.K. Malhotra commenting a hefty fee 0f 5.5 Crores reveals of his gaudy gesture. For Rahman, it's not about money, but a great passion for the work he does. If money was interesting him, he wouldn't have refused more than dozen of Hollywood and international offers in the past one year that could have doubtlessly spanned him bigger sum. Rahman's songs cannot be judged at the first time. It's because of his detailing factors he adds to his each number. Say for instance, the CWG 2010 theme song has such innumerable panoramas emblazoning the simple lyrics. It starts off on metal guitars with Santoor and Sitar played on fastest notes. Studded with a wonderful synchronized chorus, the song ends on a different octave with fiestas of Bhangra. Rahman has reached a level of far behind criticisms and such amateurish claims wouldn't affect him. Playback Singer Ila Arun has openly admitted – it's obvious that Rahman's showpieces are bounded to mixed responses in the initial stages, but rightly reaches its epitome of success as the time grows in. It was all illustrious with his `Jai Ho' song in `Slumdog Millionaire' that didn't gain publicity during the time of music release, but later stunned the whole world. Even a year after `Oscar' and `Grammy' triumphs, the `Slumdog Millionaire' stands out at Top 10, in almost all the countries. Thanks to Bollywood music director Pritham, who make a distinct statement saying, It's not just about the song, Rahman's Super Brand will turn entire globe not alone towards the song, but on the complete event of CWG 2010 as well. If music director Aadesh Shrivastava cannot understand the lyrics and music of CWG 2010, it's just revealing that he hasn't been wizardry in musical phase. In his statement, he has commented insisting A.R. Rahman to score 5 different versions of the same song. This poor musician has traveled a long journey of more than a decade in Bollywood and hasn't been able to captivate the music lovers with his tunes. Starting from `KHATRA' in 1991 till his recent release, none of the songs have been acclaimed at least as an average fare. What is the point in comparing this song with FIFA Songs of Shakira's `Waka Waka' and Ricky Martin's `The Cup of Life'. Well for those, who commented on music and lyrics, would they be able to easily grasp the lyrics of `Waka Waka' and `Cup of Life'. Music breaks the barrier of language and nativity and it's an universal feel. Or else our own Tamil albums wouldn't be holding such important places across the World. If at all, Shakira and Ricky Martin were the best ones to compose theme song for `CWG 2010 Theme Song', Mr. V.K. Malhotra could have signed them for same-patterned song.

[arr] Re: Cinefundas churns out a 'fitting' article on ARRs CWG - Sane!
I think you completely missed the point. People have criticized AR earlier and would still do so in the future. My only point was that it'd be only fair if the criticisms were constructed and not just because of an ego-issue. I still remember when AR had won the Oscars and some Hindi news channel asked Aadesh Srivastava for a byte, he had said 'Jai Ho' were his words and that he used to mutter it all the time and that he had composed many songs which were better than Jai Ho. Rather than congratulating AR, he went on a baseless spree of kiddish behaviour. The same went with Bappi Lahiri who compared the song to his 'Ramba Ho' song. Lots of people critique AR, hell, we, fans do it more than anyone. But to say something totally irrelevant is another thing. Aadesh says AR must have made 5 different versions of the song. On some news channel, he said, Senior musicians- the classical ones should have been approached to do the CWG Theme. These are not criticisms, they are just ego- talk. If he had said, AR should have not sung, like how many others have opined.

When they crashland, they can also leave you sore. For some time now, A.R. Rahman has been on song. This time the song is on him. His anthem *`Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeeto*' takes all of four minutes and 16 seconds to expose you to the perils of skydiving without a parachute. But then, this is the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and, like many other things connected with this year's CWG, it happens to be just another kind of cruel sport. The idea of an anthem for sporting events is, it could be argued, to foreground a consistent theme as a focal point of the event and to unify the audiences with the adhesive of a familiar, infectious rhythm. In the present context of a CWG mired in debilitating controversy and hint of sleaze, a rousing anthem could have been the talisman to unlock some positive energy. But the present offering of India's own Mozart, which was launched with much fanfare on August 23, has left even the Group of Ministers unhappy. That must be the ultimate ignominy for a composerthat aesthetic cynicism of such crass proportions can even affect the GoM, although one suspects it was not so much the notations on the music sheet but those on the bill that did the damage. Even as Oscar hero Rahman was concatenating, at super-speed, his CWG jingle that jangles with some of the most pedestrian verses in recent times, he also fed in the punchy figure of some Rs 1.37 crore per minute of the song. Total: Rs 5.50 crore. In 2006, for the inaugural functions of the Frankfurt Book Fair, at which India was the `Guest of Honour Country', a proposal by music composer Ilaiyaraja to present a Carnatic raga using a 120-piece Western philharmonic orchestra was summarily rejected because of the price tag of Rs 95 lakh. But times have changed. The funny thing about Rahman's *Swagatham* number this time is that, after its recitative first part, with lines as stiff and strangulating as `*Junoon se, kanoon se, maidaan maar lo*', the second performative segment breaks into a beat that sounds like a rip-off of his own composition `*Ramta Jogi*' in the film *Taal*. Obviously, Rahman is now famous enough to plagiarise himself and even charge us for it. But the obvious question that needs to be asked is: why did he even try? Why did he not simply offer back the same `*Ramta Jogi*' as the anthem for the CWG? The song has all the right foot-tapping ingredients, including oblique references to playful charlatans that would have blended well with the CWG. Of course, Rahman's anthem cannot be disconnected with the overall plan for inaugural and closing ceremonies of the CWG. The fancy committee for the inaugural events has for a few months now been grappling with the logistics of how to present India in this highly televised event. It is a committee in search of a spectacle. The spectacle of a fake, make-believe India populated with Bollywood dancers and swirling silks, crooning divas and simpering starlets. The last time around, they were thinking of making a sound-and-light show using the sacred `Om'. It is an India that has no specific location on this planet and is far removed from not just the lives, but even the fantasies, of its own people.

But certain fame-mongers try grabbing public cynosures with their cheap publicities. Needless to mention, A.R. Rahman's theme song for Commonwealth Games 2010 Khelo Jeeyo, Hey-O, Let's Go has gained more publicity for gimcracks. To put it in right terms, the goosey feedbacks by few jugheads have got their names published in newspapers and media channels. Of course, it's all they wanted – make unsound judgments and seek the fame. Starting off with BJP Leader and Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee Executive Board Member V.K. Malhotra, his statements pertaining to the theme song is completely rubbish. He has uttered that theme songs completely lack soul and this wasn't something they expected from A.R. Rahman, who churned out some of the evergreen songs like `Maa Tuje Salaam'. If V.K. Malhotra wanted same-fangled song, he could have better recorded this song's lyrics with same tune of `Vande Mataram'. Will that make sense? So are his reasoning abilities. A.R. Rahman holds special mention for redefining the New Line of Indian Music at global standards. Even his earliest works delivered in 90s holds great prominence in World famous charts of Billboard. He holds great mention for accomplishing with Next-Gen music from time to time. And about V.K. Malhotra commenting a hefty fee 0f 5.5 Crores reveals of his gaudy gesture. For Rahman, it's not about money, but a great passion for the work he does. If money was interesting him, he wouldn't have refused more than dozen of Hollywood and international offers in the past one year that could have doubtlessly spanned him bigger sum. Rahman's songs cannot be judged at the first time. It's because of his detailing factors he adds to his each number. Say for instance, the CWG 2010 theme song has such innumerable panoramas emblazoning the simple lyrics. It starts off on metal guitars with Santoor and Sitar played on fastest notes. Studded with a wonderful synchronized chorus, the song ends on a different octave with fiestas of Bhangra. Rahman has reached a level of far behind criticisms and such amateurish claims wouldn't affect him. Playback Singer Ila Arun has openly admitted – it's obvious that Rahman's showpieces are bounded to mixed responses in the initial stages, but rightly reaches its epitome of success as the time grows in. It was all illustrious with his `Jai Ho' song in `Slumdog Millionaire' that didn't gain publicity during the time of music release, but later stunned the whole world. Even a year after `Oscar' and `Grammy' triumphs, the `Slumdog Millionaire' stands out at Top 10, in almost all the countries. Thanks to Bollywood music director Pritham, who make a distinct statement saying, It's not just about the song, Rahman's Super Brand will turn entire globe not alone towards the song, but on the complete event of CWG 2010 as well.

When they crashland, they can also leave you sore. For some time now, A.R. Rahman has been on song. This time the song is on him. His anthem *`Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeeto*' takes all of four minutes and 16 seconds to expose you to the perils of skydiving without a parachute. But then, this is the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and, like many other things connected with this year's CWG, it happens to be just another kind of cruel sport. The idea of an anthem for sporting events is, it could be argued, to foreground a consistent theme as a focal point of the event and to unify the audiences with the adhesive of a familiar, infectious rhythm. In the present context of a CWG mired in debilitating controversy and hint of sleaze, a rousing anthem could have been the talisman to unlock some positive energy. But the present offering of India's own Mozart, which was launched with much fanfare on August 23, has left even the Group of Ministers unhappy. That must be the ultimate ignominy for a composer—that aesthetic cynicism of such crass proportions can even affect the GoM, although one suspects it was not so much the notations on the music sheet but those on the bill that did the damage. Even as Oscar hero Rahman was concatenating, at super-speed, his CWG jingle that jangles with some of the most pedestrian verses in recent times, he also fed in the punchy figure of some Rs 1.37 crore per minute of the song. Total: Rs 5.50 crore. In 2006, for the inaugural functions of the Frankfurt Book Fair, at which India was the `Guest of Honour Country', a proposal by music composer Ilaiyaraja to present a Carnatic raga using a 120-piece Western philharmonic orchestra was summarily rejected because of the price tag of Rs 95 lakh. But times have changed. The funny thing about Rahman's *Swagatham* number this time is that, after its recitative first part, with lines as stiff and strangulating as `*Junoon se, kanoon se, maidaan maar lo*', the second performative segment breaks into a beat that sounds like a rip-off of his own composition `*Ramta Jogi*' in the film *Taal*. Obviously, Rahman is now famous enough to plagiarise himself and even charge us for it. But the obvious question that needs to be asked is: why did he even try? Why did he not simply offer back the same `*Ramta Jogi*' as the anthem for the CWG? The song has all the right foot-tapping ingredients, including oblique references to playful charlatans that would have blended well with the CWG. Of course, Rahman's anthem cannot be disconnected with the overall plan for inaugural and closing ceremonies of the CWG. The fancy committee for the inaugural events has for a few months now been grappling with the logistics of how to present India in this highly televised event. It is a committee in search of a spectacle. The spectacle of a fake, make-believe India populated with Bollywood dancers and swirling silks

The composer found something amiss and made an impromptu decision to record two more songs for the film. After watching the final edit of the film in Chennai recently, Rahman added one song to be played during the start and end credits of the film and another one that will be the title song of the film. Rahman has now sent the songs to his friend Tyrewala. When contacted, Tyrewala confirmed the news and said, Rahman felt that the film needed one song and deserved one song. For me, the album was done and we had seven songs in it but now we have two more making the total number nine. The album will be releasing soon. Rahman felt that for the start and the end titles we should have a romantic track instead of just music. The song has a few English, some Urdu and a few Punjabi lyrics. Apparently, Rahman had suggested that the film should have a title track on hearing that the film was called Jhootha Hi Sahi. Tyrewala added,He said that the film deserved to have a title track. He said, 'I don't care where you use it, whether you use it in the background or not but the film deserves it.' In fact, he was in London at that time. He booked a studio there and recorded it himself. We finalised the song on the Internet. It's very nice of him to do it since he was in the middle of so many things. 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. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/30/201009082010090802062063743d0c81f/Rahman-tracks-changes.html

Because, Abbas's taste of music is mostly very contemporary, usually with a blend of acoustics, subtle rhythms, simple, but peppy and hummable tunes.. (The Kabhi Kabhi Aditi kinda stuff). Abbas wouldnt need an avant garde experiment like Thiruda Thiruda, Rangeela or Iruvar. Abbas's film-making are also colorful, depicting chocolate romance at campus.

The difference in ARR is that, he can cater to the tastes and styles of ANY filmmaker.

Vithur, The news is true. It is a film directed by someone else, but produced by Mani Sir. Earlier too, Mani Sir's production had music by different composeres, maybe because the scale of the project is too small to afford ARR. Earlier Karthik Raja had composed for a Mani Ratnam production. But definitely, for Mani Ratnam's direction..No one is going to replace ARR. Yuvan's film is titled as 'Paki'

But certain fame-mongers try grabbing public cynosures with their cheap publicities. Needless to mention, A.R. Rahman's theme song for Commonwealth Games 2010 Khelo Jeeyo, Hey-O, Let's Go has gained more publicity for gimcracks. To put it in right terms, the goosey feedbacks by few jugheads have got their names published in newspapers and media channels. Of course, it's all they wanted make unsound judgments and seek the fame. Starting off with BJP Leader and Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee Executive Board Member V.K. Malhotra, his statements pertaining to the theme song is completely rubbish. He has uttered that theme songs completely lack soul and this wasn't something they expected from A.R. Rahman, who churned out some of the evergreen songs like `Maa Tuje Salaam'. If V.K. Malhotra wanted same-fangled song, he could have better recorded this song's lyrics with same tune of `Vande Mataram'. Will that make sense? So are his reasoning abilities. A.R. Rahman holds special mention for redefining the New Line of Indian Music at global standards. Even his earliest works delivered in 90s holds great prominence in World famous charts of Billboard. He holds great mention for accomplishing with Next-Gen music from time to time. And about V.K. Malhotra commenting a hefty fee 0f 5.5 Crores reveals of his gaudy gesture. For Rahman, it's not about money, but a great passion for the work he does. If money was interesting him, he wouldn't have refused more than dozen of Hollywood and international offers in the past one year that could have doubtlessly spanned him bigger sum. Rahman's songs cannot be judged at the first time. It's because of his detailing factors he adds to his each number. Say for instance, the CWG 2010 theme song has such innumerable panoramas emblazoning the simple lyrics. It starts off on metal guitars with Santoor and Sitar played on fastest notes. Studded with a wonderful synchronized chorus, the song ends on a different octave with fiestas of Bhangra. Rahman has reached a level of far behind criticisms and such amateurish claims wouldn't affect him. Playback Singer Ila Arun has openly admitted it's obvious that Rahman's showpieces are bounded to mixed responses in the initial stages, but rightly reaches its epitome of success as the time grows in. It was all illustrious with his `Jai Ho' song in `Slumdog Millionaire' that didn't gain publicity during the time of music release, but later stunned the whole world. Even a year after `Oscar' and `Grammy' triumphs, the `Slumdog Millionaire' stands out at Top 10, in almost all the countries. Thanks to Bollywood music director Pritham, who make a distinct statement saying, It's not just about the song, Rahman's Super Brand will turn entire globe not alone towards the song, but on the complete event of CWG 2010 as well. If music director Aadesh Shrivastava cannot understand the lyrics and music of CWG 2010, it's just revealing that he hasn't been wizardry in musical phase. In his statement, he has commented insisting A.R. Rahman to score 5 different versions of the same song. This poor musician has traveled a long journey of more than a decade in Bollywood and hasn't been able to captivate the music lovers with his tunes. Starting from `KHATRA' in 1991 till his recent release, none of the songs have been acclaimed at least as an average fare. What is the point in comparing this song with FIFA Songs of Shakira's `Waka Waka' and Ricky Martin's `The Cup of Life'. Well for those, who commented on music and lyrics, would they be able to easily grasp the lyrics of `Waka Waka' and `Cup of Life'. Music breaks the barrier of language and nativity and it's an universal feel. Or else our own Tamil albums wouldn't be holding such important places across the World. If at all, Shakira and Ricky Martin were the best ones to compose theme song for `CWG 2010 Theme Song', Mr. V.K. Malhotra could have signed them for same-patterned song. Mark our words! A.R. Rahman's `CWG 2010 Theme Song' will undoubtedly carry its success across the globe and no such unwanted buzzes would trivialize its prodigiously surpassing fame.

Chandrima.Pal Posted On Saturday, September 04, 2010 at 08:55:19 PM From Internet blogs to the denizens of Delhiâs South Block, everyone is splitting hair over his compositions. But the man behind it all is ensconced in his Chennai studio, unfazed by the furore around him. Like the proverbial eye of the storm. For A R Rahman, these are the best of times, the worst of times. His art is at its most eclectic, garnering international acclaim heralding him as one of the worldâs best. In his own country detractors are declaring that he has lost his touch. He is buying a five-acre plot in Los Angeles to set up his production facility with sound engineer Resul Pookutty. He is also being accused of being indifferent, aloof to his Bollywood projects, delaying them and churning out music that often stumps listeners. With every milestone in the West, Rahman seems to move a step away from home. His fiercest critics are ironically in the industry that has given him his biggest successes â until of course Slumdog. The Hindi film fraternity has always had an uneasy relationship with Rahman, who is still god down south. Many in Bollywood find it hard to accept his artistic ways â he remains in Chennai, works mostly at night, has his own creative yardsticks for choosing projects and delivers only when he is ready. Some feel his best is behind him, others feel he is constantly breaking new ground. âGiven his style of functioning and his inaccessibility,â says trade expert Amod Mehra, âBollywood always had a problem working with him.â Rahman has never made any excuses for the way he functions. And his studio can seem forbidding, or inspiring. âThere is a divine energy there,â says Subhash Ghai, who has shared an emotional bond with the composer since his Shikhar days. âIt is not your usual sharaab-kebab kind of atmosphere that you encounter in most Mumbai studios.â Ghajini-producer Madhu Mantena, who has worked closely with Rahman since Rangeela, too says watching the maestro in his studio is like entering a very sacred space. CONSPIRACY THEORIES But Rahmanâs inaccessibility â which critics say has increased post his international-success â has not helped. âIf you are a newbie,â says a producer who has met the maestro and is still waiting for his verdict on his proposal. âYou have to make at least 10 trips to his studio to discuss your project with him. Unlike other music composers, money is no criteria for him. There is no saying why or when he will pick one project over the other,â the producer adds. âNow he is zipping around the world,â rues an ad filmmaker who is still waiting for a meeting, âit is almost impossible for one to get his time and consent.â Rubbishing these as conspiracy theories, Mantena points out that Rahman has worked with several newcomers including Abbas Tyrewala, whose Jaane Tu... he had accepted way before Aamir Khan came into the picture. âBesides, he is so dedicated to his work that each song probably goes through more changes than the script itself,â Mantena reveals, agreeing with other insiders like Ram Gopal Varma. âNo matter how pressured he is, Rahman will never let a tune pass until he is happy about it.â On the flip side, that can translate into nail-biting moments for the always-in-a-tearing-hurry Bollywood producer. Thus, the notion that Rahman is delaying projects. Mantena denies the maestro kept him waiting for months for the title track for his latest, Jhootha Hi Sahi. âThere are nine songs and the time taken was the same as any other album,â the producer says. There were also rumours that the Jodhaa Akbar music launch was delayed because the soundtrack was not ready, though the label and the production house denied it. The Commonwealth Games theme took six months, and then it was back to the drawing board after the organising committee wanted Rahman to make changes. âA single failure does not bring anyone down, not at least Rahman, who still has the mass with him,â says Mehra, referring to the Commonwealth controversy. âHowever, Rahman has not been showing his best elements on his recent works,â he adds. âYou cannot judge Rahman on the basis of one song,â says sitar maestro Pandit

I enjoyed the songs of Aisha, and I feel, Amit Trivedi would be a brilliant second choice for Abbas Tyrewala, when ARR is unavailable. Because, Abbas's taste of music is mostly very contemporary, usually with a blend of acoustics, subtle rhythms, simple, but peppy and hummable tunes.. (The Kabhi Kabhi Aditi kinda stuff). Abbas wouldnt need an avant garde experiment like Thiruda Thiruda, Rangeela or Iruvar. Abbas's film-making are also colorful, depicting chocolate romance at campus. I feel, Amit Trivedi and Abbas Tyrewala would prove to be a brilliant. At the same time, Amit cannot work for a Rajiv Menon, Shankar or Mani Ratnam. The difference in ARR is that, he can cater to the tastes and styles of ANY filmmaker.

Don't fan the flames. It's amazing how much of the criticism about the Games has now been focused solely on the music. A few weeks ago when a journalist angrily questioned the delay with releasing the song, I defended her right to ask the question. At that time it seemed that the press was asking hard questions because it mattered and not because of TRP ratings. Now I see it's a facade since they're all after masala stuff to sell.

When people have already formed a misguided opinion it's hard to make them change if you point facts directly. Use satire to make them think about how ludicrous it is. We already know about the awesome conclusion by IBNLive that the film score to Fire was a flop because it was not easily available in India and could be obtained only by mail order from Germany. Extending that thought here are some tweet-lines: * IBNLive says Mughal-e-Azam is a flop because it is not available in Sanskrit dubbing. * V.K. Malhotra doesn't like Australia's 2006 Commonwealth Games song either- Their song is slower than Rahman's. They should have used Shakira. * V.K Malhotra also does not like coconut chutney.

[arr] Re: ARR - his name means a lot and keeps me going and inspired!!!
I agree with u. What ever happens it happens for the sake of good only but we dont know at that perticular time. We come to know about it later. Let every1 fire ARR, he will come out more pure gold. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, yeshrao81 yeshra...@... wrote: Today I sat down to think what AR Rahman means to me and ... AR Rahman - the name does not just stands for world class music - which is a well known fact! For me, ARR is also about peace, humility, perseverance, respect, inspiration, divinity, politeness, patriotism, wisdom, teamwork, creative genius, spiritual, caring, one who respects mother, one who pushes his ability every time to redefine something no one else has achieved and so many other noble qualities. I am deeply saddened by the fact that media does not know the real worth of such a lovely Indian and is too quick to forget the pride he has brought to our country! ARR should come out of this and redeem his lost pride and answer his critics with his music! I thought this episode must have created pain within ARR and upset him a lot...But then I realized his words of wisdom All fame is God's and God given; He does not own anything in this world including fame, money etc... Therefore if fame or money were to go away from him suddenly, he stands to lose nothing and its again God's wish. He is such a great person and proved himself so much that his fame can never be diminished, despite petty events like this one... Something in me says that this will be a new phase in ARR's career and he is going to create several Roja's and Dil Se's all again (though they woul be musically quite different). Something in me says that ARR is going to create path-breaking scores never before attempted. Something in me says the whole world is going to celebrate our man like never before. This expectation and my belief that it will be met 100% by ARR is what keeps me going crazily after him. I wish and would like him to be regarded as the best globally...which is quite within reach given his talents! I am waiting for that day..the day when FIFA asks Rahman to score the anthem or when Spielberg asks Rahman to score for his film or when Rahman releases his own album globally and stumps everyone
[arr] Re: AR Rahman spellbound with Komaram Puli:Allu Aravind
He says Rahman was the first one to say that the movie has come out really well. And he requested them to give him some more time for the re-recording so that he could give his best to it. If Rahman hands over the prints by 7th or 8th, the movie will release on the 9th. :P :P --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Thulasi Ram karoke...@... wrote: can someone translate please? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XetOWdTEEhQfeature=player_embedded

[arr] Re: Swagatham fiasco: Rahman's top 10 duds
What the hell Whoever wrote this article is not only completely out of his mind but a total jerk. Except Swagatham all of the albums listed were either hits or super hits. big blunders include not only VTV but Jeans, Kadhal Desam, Raavan and Fire. I don't know if Parasuram was a hit or flop but it is one of my most favorites albums of his from his Tamil collections with three of my most listened songs from his Tamil collection Chittukurivi, Dolan dolna and Jack Jill. Love Birds's biggest plus wasn't No Problem but Milgaye milgaye which remains one of ARR's best songs to the date. Kadhal Desam's Hello Doctor was a big hit and it is one of the songs I listen even today. Fire is a gem of an album, ARR's best soundtrack-type based album which I consider way better than many of the Oscar winning soundtrack albums. Every time I listen to it I think ARR should have conquered Hollywood years back. It is a shame that only one song and these bastards have forgotten his achievements and what he has brought to India. These type of people are shame not only to India (in fact to any country) but to music. They have forgotten his Oscars, Grammys and Golden Globe from only 1.5 year ago. What a shame I must say what a shame. this is first mail/article I checked today and it has totally RUINED my day. /Jahanzeb --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Jayan jayan...@... wrote: Dear all http://ibnlive.in.com/news/swagatham-fiasco-rahmans-top-10-duds/130209-3.html?from=tn Please read the article.

Where did this image come from?? His current image is only because of the terrific pathbreaking works of his past. It did not suddenly come up, one fine morning. It is not justice to say that Rahman's image made ppl like his works. Infact, the present situation is similar to that. Due to Rahman's pathbreaking accomplishments of the past, today, there are people to praise any mediocre or below average work from him (Eg: Ghajini), and bash other sincere Rahmaniacs who dislike the same.  Anyway, what ARR today, is ONLY because of his hardwork and pathbreaking accomplishments.  On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 7:03 AM, AJ purevibz@ wrote:  This statement is coming from that Weaka Weaka article, which to me sounded extremely biased. Avid music buffs too felt that it was Rahman's image that made people like whatever he composed rather than the music. A minority may think this, but I truly do not think the majority of true music lovers out there think this is true. Yes, Rahman has an image and a brand name, but people can discern quality too and are not that dumb to just go by someone's name when it comes to appreciating good music. Because Rahman's music is often so original and unconventional, it does take time for the music to sink in, th This is scientifically proven in psychology that when a complex, unfamiliar, and unknown stimulus is encountered, the mind has to accommodate (change) rather than assimilate (easily absorb)...which is why repeated exposure is necessary for Rahman's music, which is often complex, unfamiliar, and unknown due to the high originality
