Re: Fw: [arr] The top 10 greatest AR Rahman film soundtracks

[|| V i s h w e s h ||]

IMHO, Mr Romeo has some amazing music, my friend! Agreed that it's not a top 10 
album but certainly not the bottom 10 also, IMO.

Mel Isaiyae has lovely melody with innovative rhythm... I absolutely enjoy 
Muthu Muthu Malai with Ila Arun in full form + awesome chorus part + gr8 
rhythm... Monalisa is a like a fun qawwali... Udit & Hariharan are having blast 
in Romeo Aattam Potal... Thannerai Kadhalikkum is so peppy... Yaar Adhu has 
some amazing interludes...

So all in all, highly enjoyable album!

Re: [arr] The top 10 greatest AR Rahman film soundtracks

[sajin mohan]

Heyyy Vithur...
Your selections are superb...But how can you avoid Taal from your list?? We all 
know that selecting 10 of ARR sir is just like going to sun However deeply 
analyze  each and every song... itz to difficult but i dont think that 
we can not avoid Taal and Kannathil Muthamittal.. Especially the BGM in 
Kannathil muthamittalGoosebumping...Better not to try to find out the best 
10 out of ARR's compositions... all are best...
And what about Munpe vaa frm JOK??? ARR himself told it as one of his 
favourite...

It seems this list is taken only considering songs (except Bombay 
theme)..

What about background score? If you include BGM also then my list 
would be..

1.Bose The Forgotten Hero
2.Warriors Of Heaven And Earth
3.Swades
4.Lagaan
5.Bombay
6.Rang De Basanti
7.Kannathil Muthamittal
8.Roja
9.Dil Se

RE: [arr] The top 10 greatest AR Rahman film soundtracks

[serge belier]

It is very difficult to list 10 best album of ARR Sir. Quite impossible, as I 
think that many of them should be in the list, for example:

 


Kandukonden Kandukonden,
Uzhavan (especially for "Kannilil ennai iramho", "Pennalla Pennalla")
Taal,
Pukar,
Rangeela,
Taj Mahal (especially for "Kuliruthu Kuliruthu")
May Madam (especially for "Minnale")
Boys (especially for "Ale Ale")
Meenakshi,
Jillundru Oru Kadhal (especially for "Anbae Va", "New York")
Swades (especially for "Yeh Jo Desh", "Saawariya", "Aahista")
Indira (what a song "thoda thoda malarntha enna"),
Sangamam (especially for "Mazhaitulli", "Margazhi tingal", "Varaga Nathi karai 
oram", "Mudhal Mudhal")
Fire,
Earth,
Water,
Kaadhalan (especially for "Ennavalae adi")
 

Guys, could not make a proper list, there are too many, I am sure I am missing 
a lot of others

 

Jai Ho! My 2 years old son sings it many times a day. The funiest thing is 
that he wakes up singing it even before having his breakfast.

 

Regards,

Serge BELIER.

plenty: we had atleast one vote for a total of 25 films. (Opinions

album, Endendrum Punnagai, was originally not part of the album. (And 
if I remember right, was missing from the first batch of CDs and

The top 10 greatest AR Rahman film soundtracks
Sidin Vadukut - Wednesday, February 25, 2009 10:34 AM 
Don't take our word for it. 
It's what you, the readers of this blog, told us after enthusiastically 
participating in the poll mentioned in the last post. Many of you left comments 
and dozens of you polled. At the final count, we had exactly 200 votes when we 
decided to analyze results at around 10:30 AM this morning. We had asked you to 
choose from five films of our choosing (Rang De Basanti, Roja, Pudhiya Mugam, 
Delhi 6 and Lagaan) plus Slumdog Millionaire and let you add films of your own 
choosing. And you committed music fans added plenty: we had atleast one vote 
for a total of 25 films. (Opinions made in the comments section have not been 
taken into account. Not because we don't like your comments, we crave comments, 
but because we could be double counting people who commented and polled.)
Here in reverse order of votes won are the top 10 most popular ARR film 
soundtracks according to PlayThings readers:
Number 10: Thiruda Thiruda
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A ARR-Mani Ratnam project from 1993 that did not do too well at the box office 
but won plenty of fans for its music. Every track was a hit including 
Veerapandi Kottayile, Konjam Nilavu and Rasathi. Little known fact about 
Thiruda Thiruda: the writing credits for this movie goes to a then little known 
writer and film maker Ram Gopal Varma. He went on to later make Ram Gopal Varma 
ki Aag and make me want to bludgeon myself to death with a remote control. 

Number 9: Iruvar

Again a ARR-MR project, Iruvar was a controversial lightly veiled biopic of 
Tamil politician, film star and god-on-earth MG Ramachandran. No one will 
forget the Hello Mister song in the movie not just for the music itself but for 
the unveiling of a young, sexy Aishwarya Rai in her debut film. Cue goosebumps. 
And then some. (Also Mohanlal! Yay!)

Number 8: Alaipayuthe

Yes, this ARR-MR collaboration business is beginning to bore no? But whatay 
soundtrack this is. And the rare movie that matches Rahman's music with 
stunning visuals. One of my fave tracks from the album, Endendrum Punnagai, was 
originally not part of the album. (And if I remember right, was missing from 
the first batch of CDs and tapes.) But it was very popular and they brought it 
back into the official OST.
Number 7: Pudhiya Mugam

Collective high five everyone. I won't repeat everything I said before, but if 
you haven't had a chance to listen to music you really must. And try to ignore 
the damp squib Vishwavidaata remix.
Number 6: Delhi-6
 
For a while I was worried about Delhi-6. After the first 100 votes or so, there 
wasn't even one vote for this recent masterpiece. Thankfully it picked up steam 
later. A wonderfully varied and nuanced track if you ask me. That and Dev D 
will take time to be replaced in our iPods.
Number 5: Bombay
 
No surprises here. A critical and popular success in every language. Wikipedia 
adds these bits of trivia:
The track "Bombay Theme" from the soundtrack is an instrumental orchestral 
piece composed, arranged and conducted by A. R. Rahman. It was recently 
featured in the soundtrack and score of the Nicolas Cage film Lord of War, 
released in 2005. It has appeared on several compillation CDs since the film's 
release including on Volume 5 of the chill-out compilation Café del Mar, 
released in 1998. It also appeared on a French TV commercial for Volvic 
starring Zinedine Zidane in 2000. The soundtrack also found success in its 
dubbed versions. 
Number 4: Lagaan
 
What did you say? A three hour musical about a cricket match? HELL YEAH! The 
L.A. Times spokes for us all when they said:
Ashutosh Gowariker's glorious "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India" is to the 
Bollywood musical epic what Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was to 
the period martial arts action adventure: an affectionate homage to a popular 
genre that raises it to the level of an art film with fully drawn characters, a 
serious underlying theme and a sophisticated style and point of view.

Most crucially, its songs and dances are not mere interludes inserted in the 
action, bringing it to a halt--a Bollywood trademark--but are fully integrated 
into the plot and marked by expressive, dynamic singing and dancing that infuse 
a historical drama with energy and immediacy. 

Number 3:  Rang De Basanti

Did you know that Nelly Furtado was, at one point, lined up to perform on the 
album? And while the movie didn't repeat the Oscar nomination success

Don't take our word for it.

It's what you, the readers of this blog, told us after enthusiastically
participating in the poll mentioned in the last
post.
Many of you left comments and dozens of you polled. At the final count, we
had exactly 200 votes when we decided to analyze results at around 10:30 AM
this morning. We had asked you to choose from five films of our choosing
(Rang De Basanti, Roja, Pudhiya Mugam, Delhi 6 and Lagaan) plus Slumdog
Millionaire and let you add films of your own choosing. And you committed
music fans added plenty: we had atleast one vote for a total of 25 films.
(Opinions made in the comments section have not been taken into account. Not
because we don't like your comments, we crave comments, but because we could
be double counting people who commented *and *polled.)

Here in reverse order of votes won are the top 10 most popular ARR film
soundtracks according to PlayThings readers:

*Number 10: Thiruda Thiruda*

















A ARR-Mani Ratnam project from 1993 that did not do too well at the box
office but won plenty of fans for its music. Every track was a hit including
Veerapandi Kottayile, Konjam Nilavu and Rasathi. Little known fact about
Thiruda Thiruda: the writing credits for this movie goes to a then little
known writer and film maker Ram Gopal Varma. He went on to later make Ram
Gopal Varma ki Aag and make me want to bludgeon myself to death with a
remote control.

*Number 9: Iruvar*


Again a ARR-MR project, Iruvar was a controversial lightly veiled biopic of
Tamil politician, film star and god-on-earth MG Ramachandran. No one will
forget the Hello Mister song in the movie not just for the music itself but
for the unveiling of a young, sexy Aishwarya Rai in her debut film. Cue
goosebumps. And then some. (Also Mohanlal! Yay!)

*Number 8: Alaipayuthe*


Yes, this ARR-MR collaboration business is beginning to bore no? But whatay
soundtrack this is. And the rare movie that matches Rahman's music with
stunning visuals. One of my fave tracks from the album, Endendrum Punnagai,
was originally not part of the album. (And if I remember right, was missing
from the first batch of CDs and tapes.) But it was very popular and they
brought it back into the official OST.

*Number 7: Pudhiya Mugam*


Collective high five everyone. I won't repeat everything I said before, but
if you haven't had a chance to listen to music you really must. And try to
ignore the damp squib Vishwavidaata remix.

*Number 6: Delhi-6*



For a while I was worried about Delhi-6. After the first 100 votes or so,
there wasn't even one vote for this recent masterpiece. Thankfully it picked
up steam later. A wonderfully varied and nuanced track if you ask me. That
and Dev D will take time to be replaced in our iPods.

*Number 5: Bombay*



No surprises here. A critical and popular success in every language.
Wikipedia adds these bits of trivia:

*The track "Bombay Theme" from the soundtrack is an instrumental orchestral
piece composed, arranged and conducted by A. R. Rahman. It was recently
featured in the soundtrack and score of the Nicolas Cage film Lord of War,
released in 2005. It has appeared on several compillation CDs since the

Mar, released in 1998. It also appeared on a French TV commercial for Volvic
starring Zinedine Zidane in 2000. The soundtrack also found success in its
dubbed versions. *

*Number 4: Lagaan*



What did you say? A three hour musical about a cricket match? HELL YEAH! The
L.A. Times spokes for us
allwhen
they said:

*Ashutosh Gowariker's glorious "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India" is to the
Bollywood musical epic what Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was
to the period martial arts action adventure: an affectionate homage to a
popular genre that raises it to the level of an art film with fully drawn

Most crucially, its songs and dances are not mere interludes inserted in the
action, bringing it to a halt--a Bollywood trademark--but are fully
integrated into the plot and marked by expressive, dynamic singing and
dancing that infuse a historical drama with energy and immediacy.*

*Number 3:  Rang De Basanti*


Did you know that Nelly Furtado was, at one point, lined up to perform on
the 
album?
And while the movie didn't repeat the Oscar nomination success of RDB, it
did get a couple of tracks on to the long
list
