Re: [arr] VTV review.

[manisha madhavan]

This was an absolute delightful read. 
Here is Baradwaj Rangan's main blog page, where there are TONS of his other 
reviews.

One of the few Indian critiques that i actually enjoyed reading. :)

Re: [arr] VTV review.

[kishore parayath]

Such a POSH review... The BEST so far.. Ofcourse, it requires a lot of
patience, to read lengthy old-fashioned descriptions of Baradwaj Rangan..
But, it certainly takes you to a level of depth, be it any subject!

His comparisons, with the score of Morricone, etc so classy.. And certainly,
he mentions about the unpredictable new format that Rahman has created in
each song!

The article was certainly a treat to read! He is very well aware of who
Rahman is, and who his predecessors like MSV and IR were! So he doesnt make
RIDICULOUS comparisons, as foolish fans of those veterans make today!

Rahman certainly took a different path.. If legends like MSV and IR
travelled east.. Rahman travelled far west ( i.e., in a TOTALLY different
direction)

While, the erstwile chartbusters of MSV and IR became cherishable melodies..
each song of Rahman, becomes a NEW CONCEPT.. which subsequently becomes
'textbooks' for other composers.

Re: [arr] VTV review.

[jarshadnk]

I don't have an issue with Karthik downloading songs from the internet to write 
the review. What I have a problem with is his writing the review even before 
the actual release of the CD. It's unfair to the composer. It's unethical. 
There are certain people who can be considered opinion leaders and their 
opinion influences the purchasing decision of a large number of people, who are 
usually fence sitters. Karthik is a opinion leader, whether he likes it or not 
or whether he deserves it or not. By writing the review, people, who otherwise 
would have bought the CD and maybe decided on their own if the music was good 
or bad, could now ignore the product. Whether we like it or not, sales play a 
big role in a song becoming a hit or not.  
Also, by writing the review he has made more people aware that the songs are 
available for illegal download. Not all would have the high moral values of 
Karthik and buy the CD later on.

VINNAITHAANDI
VARUVAAYAA MUSIC REVIEW*Review by : Malathy Sundaram*Music Director :
A.R.Rahman
Vocals : Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon, Devan Ekambaram, Chinmayee, Karthik,
Vijay Prakash, Suzanne, Blaaze, Naresh Iyer, AR.Rahman, Shreya Ghosal,
V.Alphonse.
Lyrics :  Thamarai, Kalyani Menon, Blaaze, Kaithapram.
Escape Artists Motion Pictures and R.S.Infotainment produce this movie which
has Gautham Menon directing it. Silambarasan and Trisha are the lead pair in
this romantic movie which also has Uma Padmanabhan and K.S.Ravikumar
starring in it along with others. Manoj Paramahamsa (of ‘Eeram’ fame)
handles the cinematography. The film has been shot in picturesque locales in
Malta, Rome and the U.S.A. The ‘Mozart of Madras’ A.R.Rahman scores music
for the album which lists seven tracks. With expectations sky-high for
Rahman, and also for the unique Gautam-Simbhu-Rahman combination, let us
happily check out what our Oscar award winner has conjured up this time.

*Omana Penne**...*
*Vocals:* Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon
*Lyrics:* Thamarai, Malayalam Lyrics are by Kalyani Menon

This dreamy number starts off with a touch of music that reminds you of the
Far East. The feel continues, very
 [image: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa]
[image: Click here to find out more!]
subtly, with the nagaswaram forming the backdrop playing the Bilahari raga.
The lyrics are overpowered by the instruments, sure, but Rahman attempts to
evoke a certain mood in the listeners with this song and he succeeds.
*
Anbil Avan... *
*Vocals:* Devan Ekambaram, Chinmayee
*Lyrics:* Thamarai

A joyful union of hearts, as indicated by the lyrics, the very suggestive
instrumental bit of ‘anandam, anandam, anandame’ sung after marriages in
Tamil Nadu along with the merest whiff of ‘When the saints go marching in’,
two minutes into the song. The chorus is cheery and the use of cello and
mrudangam sounds adds depth. A lovable number, inspite of all the
synthesized sounds.

*Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa...*
*Vocals:* Karthik
*Lyrics:* Thamarai

The subtle nuance of the guitars and violin need to be relished as much as
Karthik’s soulful singing. A song of utter yearning, this is a number that
may take time to sink in, being expressive in an unconventional way. The
scale seems to be Kiravani.

*Hosanna... **
Vocals:* Vijay Prakash, Suzanne, Blaaze
*Lyrics:* Thamarai, English Rap lyric is by Blaaze

Christian tradition defines Hosanna as the cry of adoration of the
Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem’. Rahman has boldly adopted
it to express the joy that erupts in the heart of the hero when his soul
mate walks into his life. This lovely number, a mix of a few genres, is
richly layered with violin, flute and many other instruments and conceived
very differently too. We hear bits of Mohanam and Natabairavi notes all
along.

Could rock the charts.

*Kannukkul Kannai... *
*Vocals:* Naresh Iyer
*Lyrics:* Thamarai

Frantic appeals from the hero to his girlfriend to come back and heal him
and the rhythms also have a fitting urgency about them. The shorter lines of
the second charanam also carry the mood along. Neat notes from the strings
for this number which seems to be based on the Harikamboji raga scale.

*Mannippaya... *
*Vocals:* AR.Rahman, Shreya Ghosal
*Lyrics:* Thamarai

Sabaash Rahman, for weaving some very pertinent Tirukkural couplets into
this song, which has penitence as its strong underlying mood. Shreya’s voice
conveys myriad moods as she moves softly through the song to the sweet
accompaniment of guitars and violin. Again an unconventionally textured
song.

*Aaromale (Malayalam)... *
*Vocals:* V.Alphonse
*Lyrics:* Kaithapram

Oh, this song just defies description! But it has a Rahman-esque addictive
charm that cannot be ignored. Sad and pleasant moods alternate. A curious
blend of guitars and malayala lyrics. The gentle rhythms that break out with
the line’swasti swasti sumuhurtham’ cut into the sobriety of the song in a
refreshing manner. You need some repeated listening to savour this.

*Verdict:*

In a rather telling interview with Nik Gowing of BBC, Rahman expressed his
deep desire to bring South Indian (he sweetly included all the four states)
music out of its narrow confines and popularize it all over the world
because it had so much to offer. He has taken a huge step in that direction
with this album. Though the music sounds global, it has some tasteful native
sensibilities. Don’t look for anything conventional. How is the lay listener
going to respond to this album? Will he allow his conditioned mind to expand
and enjoy? Let us wait for the feedback

Let the person who hasn't sinned cast the first stone.

If Karthik says, he purchases the CDs. I think we should take his word for
it.

I don't agree with his review but hey that's why we are all individuals with
our own tastes and likings.

If you are a regular reader of that site, you must have known by this time that 
he has always reviewed the albums after listening to cheap quality illegally 
downloaded songs - once. All the preaching gyaans about "anti-Plagiarism, being 
ethical and legal" are only for others.

It has become such a normal thing, that it is okay to comment on a public 
platform about something that you don't even own yet.

Oh Cmon! That's another ARR album review even b4 the official release! :P
Criticism is bound as ARR does not follow the conventional pattern (set by him 
years ago and followed by others even now) anymore! He's just wading thru 
uncharted waters and bringing in a CHANGE!!
After all as Karl Marx mentioned "Nothing is Permanent except for Change"!
