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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If so, then it is indeed sad.

OK. can someone please find out and post what money sukhi charges for

Why doesn't ARR remove poverty of the world? why doesn't he brings 
100% literacy in the world, why doesn't he make all 6.5 billion people 
healthy and happy? Why doesn't ARR reduce prices of petrol to 1 rs a 
liter? Why doesn't ARR kill Satan so that Satan can't tempt any human 
to wrongdoing?

Arey yaar, how can ARR do all these. He is a human being l

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[V S Rawat]

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

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

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

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

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[AJ]

Indmov,

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

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

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

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

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[Indmov Buff]

I think I am now on the verge of unsubscribing to this group. There is only 
that 
much negativity my system can take. The CWG theme song has just opened 
 Pandora's box with mail after mail and article after article full of just 
childish discussions such as the one below. I love AR's music and now beginning 
to think that sharing the love for his music here may no longer be the fun 
experience it used to be.  I am probably better off just listening 
and appreciating his music all by myself. If that's childish, so be it. 

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

It looks to me that the majority opinion ( from all the e-mails and articles in 
the Indian media that have come through after the CWG theme song), is that the 
Indian music industry would have been a far  better place if not for Rahman. 
And 
that in fact the commonwealth games was not a sporting event but a musical song 
contest. I am not Indian and for the first time I feel a sense of pride in 
that.

Agreed. Lets not address anyone mad. But I guess addressing Suki as

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

I agreethese crticisms are so outdated and in reality, dis-proven.  To me, 
this kind of article is just noise and not worth reacting to and not worth 
posting here.

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[Chris Raj]

Guys,
can anyone pls clarify the following points clearly.

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

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

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

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

Gops or some one kindly clarify ... I LOVE ARR for his work and as a very good 
human being as a role model to many .. this issue is raising lot of questions 
in 
my mind pls clarify

Re: [arr] Article in yahoo

[Triply]

Suma reads James Hadley Chase!! Ms. Shumway Waves a Wand is one of his best
books!
I agree with a lot of points she raises - Waka Waka is not good, CWG itself
is a big mess, Slumdog is lacklustre. But I think she missed the boat with
no classic Rahman for 2 years. Yes, Delhi 6 was a masterpiece, but VtV is an
excellent album, as is Raavan. I think Endhiran has blinded her to that and
she forgot about these 2. Or, maybe, she has never heard of VtV.

I second it. It's not worth a read. It's been the same since 1995! We need
some fresh accusations. If someone talks about how Amit Trivedi, Ram Sampath
or Salim-Suleiman are better than Rahman, then there is something
interesting to read! Saying Rahman isn't as good as yesteryears' composers
is so passe.

Accusations - Rahman's range is limited, Vande Mataram album by ARR was not 
good, he has limited calibre, Rahman is worse singer in the country than most 
blah blah blah...

He says "Rehman must realize his limitations and accordingly take up future 
projects."

This guy does not even know its Rahman and not Rehman!!! Sick...

I dont know of any other composer in the world who has a range better than 
ARRs. 
He can compose almost all genres or music with equal brilliance.

Some people are really ignorant and dont let their ego die when it comes to 
accepting AR Rahman's success!!!

I have always maintained that AR Rehman is a greatly overrated composer and 
even 
though he has won an Oscar for the Slumdog Millionaire score, his compositions 
are more or less similar or have a very limited range. In any case, he is not 
in 
the same class as some of great maestros of yesteryears whose melodies continue 
to rule even now. Rehman in his limited range has achieved excellence and has 
thrived because there are not too many composers of his limited caliber who are 
also around. It would have been interesting to have observed Rehman had he 
lived 
and competed with the likes of Naushad, Shankar Jaikishen, SD Burman, Hemant 
Kumar, Roshan, Madan Mohan, OP Nayyar, Sajjad, Khayyam, Ravi, Salil Chaudhury, 
C 
Ramchandra, Anil Biswas, Hansraj Behal, SN Tripathi and even Lakshmikant 
Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji and RD Burman.
It is no wonder that his theme song for the Commonwealth Games has not gone 
down 
too well with the people and he is being accused of giving a mediocre number 
after charging Rs five crores for his troupe. CWG Chairman, Suresh Kalmadi 
clarified that Rehman had not accepted any money for himself and the amount was 
meant for the total performance carried out by the musical troupe accompanying 
him. Even though Kalmadi has liked the song, most people I know have been 
extremely critical of the whole composition. Their view is that the music is 
not 
catchy, it lacks Indian ness, it has poor lyrics and Rehman is perhaps a worse 
singer than most in this country. Without being rude, I share the view that any 
composition, which is meant for mass audiences and is going to be the theme 
song 
for an event like the Commonwealth Games must catch the imagination of all. One 
cannot certainly say that the composer's freedom to compose anything gives him 
a 
license to create a sub standard tune, which is for mass consumption. If Rehman 
and his troupe alone were to hear it, the justification of composer's freedom 
would have been okay. But here it will be sung and played out before an 
international audience of millions all around the world. If the song lacks the 
spunk and fails to generate enthusiasm, it is a failing of the composer. He 
should have played it before an objective audience before pushing it as the CWG 
theme song.
I do acknowledge that he has given good scores in many movies in his limited 
range but he has failed to be convincing when he has gone in for mass numbers. 
Nearly a decade ago, he had done a new version of Vande Matram. But than one 
could not help making comparisons with Hemant Kumar's evergreen Vande Matram 
number for Anandmath, which was picturised on Geeta Bali and sung by Lata 
Mangeshkar. Hemant Da's number scores in every sense of the word and till date 
no version of the national song has come any where near it.
I do not know what the CWG organizers can do at this late stage but people are 
already unfairly comparing Shakira's livelier Waka Waka at this year's Soccer 
World Cup to Rehman's composition. It is for Rehman to figure out how best he 
can make amends. Otherwise the song could have generated enthusiasm to lift up 
the sagging spirits due to the pathetic preparations in the run up to the 
Games. 
What it has achieved is that it has spoilt the mood of music lovers further. 
Rehman must realize his limitations and accordingly take up future projects.



 

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[Arijit Debnath]

Rahman earns such respect from his fans (and non-fans also) not only for his
music... but also for his behavior, nature, down to earth personality, and
not bad mouthing against anyone. That's why speaking good of Rahman becomes
intelligent, caring, creative etc etc.

Perhaps other musicians learn these non-professional etiquette to earn
respect like Rahman. Rahman single handedly lifted Sukhi's voice in entire
India, that should not be forgotten by Sukhi. Which Sukhi is telling is
noting but lying and that cant be tolerated (at least by me).

I think if Sukhi is not happy for not performing at the Oscar stage (which I
also wanted him to perform) he could have told that he was never invited by
Rahman and he got unhappy for the same instead of uttering such baseless
lies.

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[V S Rawat]

If someone is finding everyone mad, one possibility is that everybody 
is not mad and this person should get himself checked up whether he 
himself might be.

It is sickening to the soul to see that we are uttering such biased 
statement undermining everybody. Anyone who speaks good of ARR 
instantly become intelligent, caring, creative, considerate and what 
not, and anyone uttering any word that doesn't go well with ARR's 
repute in our mind, that person instantly become loser, mad, 
opportunist, politician, envious, publicity monger and what not.

This list has seen many ups and lows in 11 years, but this phase seems 
to be the lowest ever when we fans are acting like narcissus not able 
to see and appreciate anyone's view point. I hope better sense will 
prevail soon.

I condemn anyone calling anyone mad. If we can't respect one artist 
and one human, it is quite likely that we don't at all know what 
respect is, and our claims of respecting someone else have to be fake.

[arr] Re: ARR songs for meditation/stress relief

[DineshVaidya]

Have been using Rahman therapy for stress relief on myself and others for last 
15 years and find that ANY Rahman song can be used to de-stress anybody.

And if you are part of a group / band where you can participate in exploring 
the Rahman sound, then you are "blessed" !

I would nevertheless recommend entire albums such as CONNECTIONS, Water, 
Swades, Lagaan, Kannathil Mudhalmittal, Parthale Parvasam, SDM, Bombay, VTV, 
D6. I can go on and on.

Once you are "connected" with ARR's music, you are in a blissful world 
altogether...

Jai HO!

i'm curious. do people realise that mp3 is a weaker, watered down sound?

@bezarre yes, nine tracks including a remix and a reprise. its a pretty loaded

Re: [arr] Jhootha Hi Sahi Original Track list

[Anish Gupte]

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

Hope the music is good too.

Anish.

Re: [arr] Waiting for Rahman: Jhootha Hi Sahi director stranded in Chennai?

[Roshan]

another example of media trying to make a big thing out of nothing.

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

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

good thing that abbas has some sensibility.

I think he should create another song, or another version and shut all these 
idiots up. The truth is that song is lacking, given that it is meant for a 
sports event. if it was not, the response would not have been so negative. 
don't know what went wrong in the case of this song but I am sure ARR can come 
up with a chartbuster song which would be liked by everyone, something like Jai 
Ho. I don't agree that there is no guarantee that that song would be liked. 
when it is ARR there is always a guarantee.

Re: [arr] Sukhwinder problem?

[Thulasi Ram]

thanks for the link. i just watched the HD video of ARRs performance at
Oscar with a decent quality earphones. ofcourse the song was
pre-orchestrated. there were some vocals in the song that did not account
for live singers but i did not hear sukhwinder's voice in any bit of it.

there may be other reasons on which sukhwinder could have pointed out, but
his concern on this aspect sounds really childish. if it was not right to do
at the oscar stage, they wouldn't have let it happen in the first hand.

btw, can anyone translate the three options presented in the jai ho
question?

I hope you will read this for better understanding of how the media works.

There is absolutely NO reason for ANY channel to discuss AR's CWG theme, 
especially when there are millions of other problems plaguing our country.

  I think he should create another song, or another version and shut all 
these idiots up. The truth is that song is lacking, given that it is meant for 
a sports event. if it was not, the response would not have been so negative. 
don't know what went wrong in the case of this song but I am sure ARR can come 
up with a chartbuster song which would be liked by everyone, something like Jai 
Ho. I don't agree that there is no guarantee that that song would be liked. 
when it is ARR there is always a guarantee.

beyond these things. I have no intention to hurt a yone, nwither I'm tryin to 
prove any point. I'm just expressing my feelings to lighten myself up. I got 
very emotional. I couldn't control myself and wrote this letter in the 
spontaneity of the moment. I consider all the members here my brothers and 
sisters. If you can't go to your friends, when our down, then who can you go

Re: [arr] IloveCWGTheme.com

Great Initiative...

My comments posted:
More than the wealth that the CWG itself possess, this them by ARR has given 
the right feel of an Anthem. Its hilarious that media is comparing with Waka 
Waka etc., coz this song is meant to be the Anthem with energy and Indian'ness 
in it. It has everything that was expected to be and all of a sudden when its 
projected as a dance number, it obviously sends a wrong message to the world. 
I'm sure AR has delivered with style and grace for what was requested off him 
and the media/politicians have now turned the plate to showcase their evil at 
will. There is literally no point in bullying the song and AR for what it 
already sounds good and rich. 

Bottomline, you can't wake up a guy who is pretending to sleep. To all the 
pretending media/political souls, there will be time when you guys come out to 
the world screaming again, that there is no better composer than AR Rahman and 
that time is not going to be far away. Too much of success has always been the 
problem. Both Humans and the God inclusive don't like one to be on TOP of the 
WORLD all the time. There are testing times that God always enjoy doing it. 
Probably this is one such time to cause few ripples but I'm sure Tsunami of 
great Music coming up would kill all these ripples in no time.. 

Jai Ho !!! 
Swamy (aka Kitcha)

It's really really heart warming to see a fellow musician appreciate Rahman for 
what he is. Thanks Vishal for the tweets in defence of Rahman today. I  wish 
(like a 10 year old would) that the media would be punished in some way or the 
other for doing what they have done in the past week with AR. Really really sad.

I like Vishal's response too.  Very apt.  

And Shakib,

I too understand your feelings.  I don't like this at all.  But, this is a 
passing storm or cloud and will go away.  ARR will shut up the haters once

Seeking honor by dishonoring the musical legend 
Published on Sep 6 2010
Creative pieces of works are always open to criticisms. 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.

[Roshan]

off topic :  Just heard the rang dini on you tube, and it does sound
similar. but only the rang dini part.

question - is there any other sufi song / folk song with that kind of tune..
it sound too familiar. although when I heard the Na Nare, I didn't feel it
that much.
