LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Slumdog Millionaire, the rags-to-riches movie that
took the Oscars by storm, also produced two of the most influential words of
the 2008 Hollywood awards season, a language monitoring group said on
Thursday.

Jai Ho!, Hindi for Let There be Victory and the title of the movie's
Oscar-winning best song, and Slumdog -- the controversial term coined by
the filmmakers for young slum-dwellers in Mumbai -- were named the top
HollyWords of the year that closed with last Sunday's Oscars.

The Global Language Monitor, which uses an algorithm to track the frequency
of words and phrases in the world's print and electronic media, said it was
rare for two words from the same movie to be ranked in its annual list.

Slumdog Millionaire crowned its awards sweep by winning eight Oscars, also
including best picture and director.

Last summer's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull inspired
the new expression Nuke the Fridge -- a phrase coined on the Internet to
describe a moment when a cinematic franchise has run its course.

The phrase came in third on the list, followed by Hmong -- a mountain
dwelling people in Laos -- from the Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino.

What doesn't kill you makes youstranger, the Joker's twist on German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's epigram that was spoken by Heath Ledger in
Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight was also among the Top Ten. along with
the line There are no coincidences from the animated movie Kung Fu
Panda.

[arr] ARR told We are back in form in HT interview

2009-02-27 Thread Sriram S

Yesterday night (at around 11 PM  IST) in Headlines today, ARR was in a LIVE 
telephonic interview with the Anchor and other Fans.
 
When the anchor asked ARR about when can we expect another album like 
Sangamam, AR replied that there are no film makers taking that kind of a film 
and also told Myself, Vairamuthu are teaming up for Maniratnam's next film 
(i.e. Raavan) and we are back in form. 
 
I think we can expect some classical numbers in Raavan. This is exciting 
again.

 There is something new that he tells always which is thought provoking,

 All ARR interviews sound very different from that of any other celebrity. I
 desire that even the Media pays special attention to all the answers, and
 understand his true nature and take an oath to ask sensible , non-
 irritating questions

 ( Like Yday in the Headlines today Interview, the Interviewer asked him his
 favourite Sound tracks, for which he replied that he was little irritated

2009-02-27 Thread Leslie D

I dont think this list makes much sense these days as lots of people are
downloading the music from various sources like iTunes and Amazon music
store. The sales of physical media has dropped considerably. Gone are the
days when a successful album used to sell few millions copies. Rahman would
have got the first 100 million in 10 years but if the current trend
continues the next 100 million will take 50 years. Success these days can
not be measured in terms of sales anymore.

This 100 million figure (Sales) has been around for quite some time now

Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman, above-left, will try to scale the U.S. pop
charts

A.R. Rahman triumphed at the Oscars Sunday night. Now one of America's
biggest record labels is hoping the Indian film composer can conquer the
U.S. pop-music charts, thanks to an unlikely collaboration with the lead
singer of the pop group the Pussycat Dolls.

The morning after Mr. Rahman's twin victories for best song and best score
for the film Slumdog Millionaire, Universal Music Group's Interscope
Geffen AM Records released an English-language pop version of his
prize-winning song Jai Ho. (The title means, approximately, Be
Victorious in Hindi.)
Tune In

Listen to a clip from the remixed version of Jai Ho:

- Jai Ho

- *Full coverage of the 2009 Academy
Awards*http://online.wsj.com/public/page/oscars.html

The new version of the song adds to Mr. Rahman's original music and vocals
a rough English translation of the Hindi lyrics, sung by Nicole Scherzinger
of the Pussycat Dolls. You are the reason that I breathe, she sings in the
song's chorus. You are the reason that I still believe / You are my
destiny.

The remix, titled Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny), was produced by Ron Fair,
the chairman of Interscope's Geffen Records division, and a pop producer and
songwriter who has created hits for the Dolls, Christina Aguilera and
others.

The producers were aiming to have the new song ready for release
immediately after the Oscars whether or not the original won. The remix was
created over about a month, from mid-January until last week, with
contributions from three continents. Mr. Fair and a team of songwriters
worked in Los Angeles, with input from Mr. Rahman, via Skype, in Chennai,
India. On a concert tour with her group, Ms. Scherzinger recorded her vocal
parts at studios in various cities around England.

Mr. Fair enlisted several lyricists to create English lyrics that
satisfied competing goals. The challenge was not to make it too literal,
too

do people pass such comments. Sukhi is a good singer who has many hits
outside ARR domian.

 The worst was when he said, his dream was to see AR win an Oscar, how

 the press, coz he was not there in LA to perform.

 He also indicated he didn't care a damn about performing at the Oscars
 but later said that he was disappointed! :O

 When asked as to why he couldn't perform there, he said he hadn't
 received any calls from the events guys, and that AR had also not
 picked up his calls. But later said AR was in no way responsible for
 him not being there.

 I instantly had a what-the-hell is he saying look on my face after
 all that he said.

 Sukhi, is a great singer, all that he is today is because of ONLY AR,
 I hope he doesn't carry this 'head weight' further.

I have created a page for listing some (which i have entered manually). The

You can also add new links through the interface provided by google docs...
Hope what I have done for myself, will be helpful for anyone who is keeping
track of these articles...

Request you to add links here so that we can have a near-complete list in a

 Divine power works in mysterious ways

 R Rahm.. http://www.itimes.com/users/ar.rahman **Offline ** *
 
  Music is my means of connecting with the divine.
 
 *Source: Indiatimes Spirituality
 Column by Rahman (as told toAtul Sethi)
 
 Music is my means of connecting with the divine. What cannot be put 
into
 words, can be expressed through music. When one listens to music, 
one closes
 one's eyes because music is an expression and celebration of the 
divine.
 
 There are countless names of God, which we cannot utter 
simultaneously, but
 through a soulful composition, we can experience the whole power of 
God's
 presence amidst us.
 
 When I was composing for my first film Roja, I often went into a 
spiritual
 vacuum where nothing else mattered except the music. At those times, 
I felt
 connected with a supreme power. That is why I credit whatever 
success has
 come my way to the Almighty. I feel that the power and grace of the 
divine
 is infinite - it is we human beings who create boundaries and try to 
limit
 this power.
 
 For artists, I believe that this manifests itself in the form of 
inspiration
 which helps you create something wonderful. I often work through the 
night
 because that is when I feel closest to the divine.
 
 The divine power works in a mysterious way to offer you experiences, 
which
 enrich and make you a better person. As a composer, I have often 
felt that
 life's experiences - both good and bad - have greatly added to my
 compositions.
 
 My belief in Sufism has helped me emerge as a stronger person and 
has given
 me the equanimity to view life objectively. Often, when I visit a 
dargah, I
 feel a sense of peace enveloping me. I also believe in the power of 
prayer.
 I had an occasion to experience it for myself, when my daughter was
 diagnosed with a hole in her heart when she was born.
 
 However, by the time she was two, the hole vanished without any 
operation.
 It was considered nothing short of a miracle. I believe it happened 
because
 of the power of prayer. If one is sincere, no prayer goes 
unanswered.

 from then (1992), probably i am the first person to buy his new film

 any idea about what to do welcomes.

[arr] AR Rahman = Talented + Innovative + Dedicated + Humane

2009-02-27 Thread Leslie D

AR Rahman - Talented + Innovative + Dedicated +
Humanehttp://crazyscribbling.blogspot.com/2009/02/ar-rahman-talented-innovative-dedicated.html
AR Rahman has achieved what no other music composer from India has ever
achieved. 2 Oscar awards. He will be known as multiple Oscar award winner.
Not many people in the entertainment industry have been able to achieve this
feat.
Having started his career in music by playing for other musicians, he has
now achieved what others can only dream about. He has done all this because
of some very good and extremely rare qualities that he has.

Talented - He is supremely talented. People were blown away when they first
listened to Roja. It was unlike anything they had heard before. 18 years
down the lane, Delhi 6 evokes the same response. He comes from South
Indian background but was quick to learn the nuances of Hindustani and
excelled in genres like Qawalli and Tumri. His music for films was anything
but filmi. So much variety. One could easily see the effort that he has
taken to sound different from his previous works and his peers.

Innovative - His arrival on the music scene was easily noticed by one and
all because he was different from others. His sounds were different and the
quality was exceptional. Whenever he sees a new instrument he tries it out
and uses it as and when he can. Flutist Naveen was telling a very touching
story about Rahman bringing him new instruments from across the world. Hindi
film music was so monotonous before he broke into the scene. 40 piece
orchestra would always sound the same. He changed all that with his
innovative use of instruments and voices. Some classical Indian instruments
which people had virtually forgotten were introduced back into mainstream
music and was appreciated by the common people.

Dedication - This is probably THE REASON why he is so successful. His
dedication to his work is unparalleled. He selects very few projects and
gives his everything into them. At times he says yes to some lousy projects
and he realizes that very soon. But that doesnt mean that he wont give his
100% to such projects. Enn Swaasa Katre, Ratchagan, Meenaxi, Ada to
name a few. Even if all the things about the movie goes wrong, he makes sure
that it is good as far as music is concerned. The story about making Danny
Boyle wait for 4 hrs because Rahman was in a recording session doesnt show
his arrogance but shows how dedicated he is towards his work. No cell phones
or any other kinds of distrubance. Utmost dedication. Good work always
succeeds and Rahman is a living example of the same.

Humane - Rahman has in his small ways always done his bit for the community
and country as a whole. Maa Tujhe Salaam, Vande Mataram, Taj Mahal
Album, Tsunami relief concert, KM Music conservatory etc are some of
them. He is very spiritualistic but never preaches his religion. Having his
feat strongly on the ground after so much success is no mean thing but for
Rahman it is not a difficult task.

[arr] To be titled as Dr. A.R. Rahman

2009-02-27 Thread yasheer_ar2

To be titled as Dr. A.R. Rahman  IndiaGlitz 
[Friday, February 27, 2009]
Musical Maestro A.R. Rahman has haunted the entire globe with his
trenchant scores. As Vairamuthu said, `Rahman has opened the doors
for Indian Cinema to proceed ahead', it's the right time for
Rahman to be honored as `Doctor'.

Yup! We're gleefully excited to hear that Aligarh Muslim University
of Uttar Pradesh would confer the title of `Doctrine' for A.R.
Rahman for his stupendous achievement in Indian Cinema. On April 25,
A.R. Rahman would be felicitated along with Rathan Tata for his
`NANO' Car-project and `Father of Green Revolution' M.S.
Swaminathan.

Re: [arr] where is sukhwinder?????????

Yeah true, my bad! But of all the songs sukhi has sung, the ones with 
AR has always been in the spotlight. Rahman has had a BIG role in 
where Sukhi is today. Right from the first song, 'Chaiyaa Chaiyaa' to 
now 'JAI HO'. So, when sukhi says he didn't watch the Oscars but his 
dream was that AR should get one. It somehow shows his displeasure 
with AR for not taking him to LA, and obviously AR wanted him but he 
was denied a VISA, AR can't do much about that.

I

 the songs just sounded a little sweeter than usual.

 To see you holding those two Oscars was a wonderful historic moment. 
It was, wasn't it? 

Earlier we missed it. Each time I would see those disappointed Indian 
faces after the Oscars, I wished that someone would go and get it for 
us. This time we cracked it. Resul Pookutty and I getting the Oscar 
have brought India into the centre of the popular culture. That's a 
big high for me. I only wish Gulzar saab and Sukhwinder were there to 
share the moment with me. 

 Why weren't they there? 
I wanted Gulzar saab to be there. The producers had sent him a 
ticket, but he hurt his shoulder and had to cancel the ticket. Anyway 
they called out Gulzar saab's name on stage. I felt good about that.

I wanted Sukhi (Sukhvinder Singh) there to sing Jai Ho, he says 
ruefully. I wanted Sivamani (the talented percussionist) to be part 
of the show too. But then I had no control over the creative aspects 
of the show. The dances were choreographed by Fatima Robinson (a big 
name in Hollywood). I could not coordinate anything. Also, Sukhi's 
schedule could not fit our schedule
