While shooting one such stunt under water, Akshay Kumar had a narrow escape when he accidentally hit his head against the metal of a sunken ship and began bleeding. Blood attracted the sharks, but before any mishap could happen, the actor was safely pulled above water.

He attributed the awards to Gulzar's skills of making the songs phonetically catchy which clicked with the Western audience. Though the Americans are clueless about the meaning of the song, words like Jai Ho, O Saya, Ringa, ringa seem to have caught their fancy and am happy that they are now listening to Indian music, said the Oscar winner, who already has a couple of Hollywood offers at hand. Music has no language and it is this aspect that the film has brought out, said Rahman who humbly dedicated his double Oscars to all his countrymen. I had only five per cent expectation about the Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire. In fact, I was more bothered about my live performance and that was extraordinary and its impact was much more, confessed a jet-lagged Rahman at the first press meet after his Oscar award. Originally, they wanted me to do a live performance of the Hindi remix song, aaj ki raat. But I wanted to present my own composition before the world audience and hence I changed it to Jai Ho, said the Mozart of Madras. Admitting that he felt more joyous and comfortable with devotional songs than beat songs, Rahman felt that the Oscars had doubled his responsibility and that now his priority was doing good films, be it in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu or English. My dream is to connect people with music and probably this incident has unified all of us. I think this is a starting point of extraordinary things, he proclaimed. When queried about the partying and gifts that followed the Oscars, Rahman admitted that he had to leave all the champagne bottles back in the US owing to Customs trouble and brought back only the 2 Oscar statuettes which carried a cash award of $500 each. After all that news, it was my kids who were more relieved to see me back. They bunked school that day and kept on e-mailing me – Daddy, get back to us, said the responsible father. http://keralaonline.com/entertainment/slumdog-rahman_25107.html -- regards, Vithur
Re: Khwaja song - my impression (Re: [arr] Let's keep in mind the attitudes and exposure of the elders)
As I said, when someone tend to like everything, it could be that his artist is really flawlessly consistently great, or it could be that we love the artist so much that we can't make ourselves see his rare drawbacks. I am not just giving a high handed judgment rendering khwaja poor. I have elaborated point by point what I find it lacking in. Yeah, in that mail I did declare Arziyan great without going point by point why i find it great. Some day I will analyze it.

I am a known JA basher so I thought I can say about this song also. khwaja song might be holding additional value for muslims due to its religious connotations, and for general fans it might have got some high weightage due to the anecdotes of ARR having composed it already and then AG using it in the film. But as a song, I find khwaja song quite barren and monotonous if I can say that. It is a sort of introvert song giving a feel that a person must be singing it within his heart and mind. It is his personal pleasure. Others would not be able to connect to it. Firstly, the song has some 1:20 initial alaaps that are quire boring to say and kill the entire beauty of song that comes after that. It is more like the sounds generated when a player tunes up his instruments before starting to really play it up. Such a long wasted part is a sin in current busy time. Those ya khwaja ji, moinuddin, gareeb nawaz are without any lyrical or music value. So, I think the start itself is badly thought up. But then the song starts with lovely music BUT, BUT BUT poor lyrics. A typical lack of creativity in the monotonous, logically-built up lyrics as is usually the case with Javed Akhtar. Khwaja Mere Khwaja Dil Mein Sama ja Bebaso ki Taqdeer Tu ne hai sawari There is no rhyming, no deep devotion. All that dil mein sama ja type of phrases had been used a 1000 times in cheap ladki-pataao songs in 60s and here he comes up with that in a 21st century devotional song. I would say that the major failure of the song remains in the poor lyrics. Then, it fails in arrangements of vocals. None of the voices carry and ethos and pathos. They are just singing an any song, not a religious song for the most respected muslim personality of Indian subcontinent. pronunciations are also not clear. that bebaso ki taqdeer tu ne hai sanwari, has bebaso and tu ne pronounced so pooorly that one has to strain to hear it and make the meaning of it. Sad that it is our man himself. And then Tere darbaar mein khwaza noor ko mainne dekha has noor pronounced so poorly by our man himself, and then there are alaaps, and then the music gives the impression that the line is going to be repeated, tere darbar mein khwaja - but they drop the line unceremoniously and begin another line- sar jhukaate hain auliya. What was so great in mentioning that auliya sar jhukate hain, so what, is that why you feel respect for him? I think the respect should have come from within, not due to seeing how others are respecting him. and then tu hai khwaja - rutaba hai pyara chahne se tujhko mustafa ko paya that xxx is still not clear to my aging ears. and lastly that hai mere peer ka sadqa, tera daman hai thama, tali hai bala hamari, chhaya hai khumar tera, jitna bhi rashq karein beshaq, to ab hai XXX mere khwaja, tere kadmo ko mere rahnuma nahin chhodna gawara. I don't get what exactly is the concept. No rhyming, no poetry, just some words have got hammerred in. It must be the poorest lyrics by Javed. I would say that ARR's voice is also not as sweet enough as he is famed for, there is a rare shrillness, a hollow in ARR's voice that I don't remember having heard in any other song. May be he was trying a new voice but it didn't suit my ears. all the internal aalaaps also are confusing, making it a classical song. They are not even bringing a sense of a trance. And as I already said once that JA music was a personal music and didn't reflect the lavishness of the film. I think I can describe now what I meant by that personal vs lavishness. Listen to the music between 3:40 - 4:05. That Persian sort of. Now, that is what I call a royal music, that has lavishness, that has luxury, that is group music, public music. Also the instrument that stars playing at the backdrop at about 6:10 and continues till the end of song. that

Khwaja song - my impression (Re: [arr] Let's keep in mind the attitudes and exposure of the elders)
There are quite a few ARR songs that I don't particularly like, but for me, Khwaja is not one of them. Oh well, to each their own. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat vsra...@... wrote: As I said, when someone tend to like everything, it could be that his artist is really flawlessly consistently great, or it could be that we love the artist so much that we can't make ourselves see his rare drawbacks. I am not just giving a high handed judgment rendering khwaja poor. I have elaborated point by point what I find it lacking in. Yeah, in that mail I did declare Arziyan great without going point by point why i find it great. Some day I will analyze it. Thanks. -- Rawat On 3/13/2009 7:22 AM India Time, _Chord_ wrote: Wow, Rawat, tell us how you really feel. I pretty much disagree with you completely. I love Khwaja and Arziyan both the same. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat vsrawat@ wrote: On 3/12/2009 3:11 PM India Time, _Jahanzeb Farooq_ wrote: in fact we watched JA together and during Khwaja mere khwaja as I mentioned that music is by ARR, he said I did not see anything special (sadly enough. may because it was in bad quality. also we know that ARR's music grows but he does not). I am a known JA basher so I thought I can say about this song also. khwaja song might be holding additional value for muslims due to its religious connotations, and for general fans it might have got some high weightage due to the anecdotes of ARR having composed it already and then AG using it in the film. But as a song, I find khwaja song quite barren and monotonous if I can say that. It is a sort of introvert song giving a feel that a person must be singing it within his heart and mind. It is his personal pleasure. Others would not be able to connect to it. Firstly, the song has some 1:20 initial alaaps that are quire boring to say and kill the entire beauty of song that comes after that. It is more like the sounds generated when a player tunes up his instruments before starting to really play it up. Such a long wasted part is a sin in current busy time. Those ya khwaja ji, moinuddin, gareeb nawaz are without any lyrical or music value. So, I think the start itself is badly thought up. But then the song starts with lovely music BUT, BUT BUT poor lyrics. A typical lack of creativity in the monotonous, logically-built up lyrics as is usually the case with Javed Akhtar. Khwaja Mere Khwaja Dil Mein Sama ja Bebaso ki Taqdeer Tu ne hai sawari There is no rhyming, no deep devotion. All that dil mein sama ja type of phrases had been used a 1000 times in cheap ladki-pataao songs in 60s and here he comes up with that in a 21st century devotional song. I would say that the major failure of the song remains in the poor lyrics. Then, it fails in arrangements of vocals. None of the voices carry and ethos and pathos. They are just singing an any song, not a religious song for the most respected muslim personality of Indian subcontinent. pronunciations are also not clear. that bebaso ki taqdeer tu ne hai sanwari, has bebaso and tu ne pronounced so pooorly that one has to strain to hear it and make the meaning of it. Sad that it is our man himself. And then Tere darbaar mein khwaza noor ko mainne dekha has noor pronounced so poorly by our man himself, and then there are alaaps, and then the music gives the impression that the line is going to be repeated, tere darbar mein khwaja - but they drop the line unceremoniously and begin another line- sar jhukaate hain auliya. What was so great in mentioning that auliya sar jhukate hain, so what, is that why you feel respect for him? I think the respect should have come from within, not due to seeing how others are respecting him. and then tu hai khwaja - rutaba hai pyara chahne se tujhko mustafa ko paya that xxx is still not clear to my aging ears. and lastly that hai mere peer ka sadqa, tera daman hai thama, tali hai bala hamari, chhaya hai khumar tera, jitna bhi rashq karein beshaq, to ab hai XXX mere khwaja, tere kadmo ko mere rahnuma nahin chhodna gawara. I don't get what exactly is the concept. No rhyming, no poetry, just some words have got hammerred in. It must be the poorest lyrics by Javed. I would say that ARR's voice is also not as sweet enough as he is famed for, there is a rare shrillness, a hollow in ARR's voice that I don't remember having heard in any other song. May be he was trying a new voice but it didn't suit my ears. all the internal aalaaps also are confusing, making it a classical song. They are not even bringing a sense of a trance. And as I already said once that JA music was a personal music and didn't reflect the lavishness of the film. I think I can describe now what I meant by that personal vs

[arr] A.R Rehman's song burnt over the credits
The title pretty much gives away the entire plot of this forgettable romantic and supposedly comedy film, more appropriately the film should've been titled 'Glitch' for the word is monotonous throughout the first half. Secondly, the central theme seems to be accidentally inspired from the Will Smith [Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=will smith] starrer *Hitch*; and this could've been a terrible sequel. This devoid-of-interesting-twist-and-turns love triangle leaves you nothing but bemused as it reaches the rosy and commercially unavoidable happy ending, with the only surprise in it being A.R Rehman's song burnt over the credits as you lazily crawl towards the exit door. Asian audiences will probably savour the subtle snips of Bollywood *ragas* but if not for a one-time-watch this accident should be best avoided. http://www.rediff.com/movies/2009/mar/10husband.htm -- regards, Vithur

[arr] Re: Japanese anyone.(Also my experience at the concert)
Wow! they still do is it. Man this guys are awesome, seriously they are one ardent ARR fans.After Oscar I have seen many of my Indian friends acknowledge themselves to be ardent ARR fan which something was not conspicuous before the happening of Jai Ho.No matter how famous and gifted our boss was before Oscar winning he was always undermined by some sectors of People,that was also partial due to our boss's humbleness.Talkin bout our thala's humbleness the best example of people exploiting our thala's good nature is the facilitation function, many of the veterans were talking non relevant stuff to our boss, only MSV,madam Janaki,vidyasagar and one very old member of the music fertility talked bout our thala in great manner, not to miss out uncle AVM Saravanan who said great things bout our boss, this is not the first he mentioned bout our thala, he also said when I met him in India( sivaji release time).Nevertheless our Japanese,Arab,Chinese, European,American and so on bros never failed to recognize our boss's talent before,this is why ARR is truly international. Coming back to the Malaysia concert experience, it is one of the best moment in my life, when i went to take pic with our thala who was damm tired after a splendid concert, never failed to greet me and my bro and took pics with us, thats the time i realized how great ARR is.All praises to almighty Talent is something everyone can cultivate but good nature is something special these what completes our thala. I pray hard that he remains the same and contribute in large scale to ARR foundation to end poverty.Like every other ARR fan I would like to witness the genius while his working in the studio,wonder when this will happen --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, adamirs...@... adamirs...@... wrote: Just to clear my curiosity, when I went to our boss's concert in Malaysia I met a few of his die hard Japanese fans there, I even asked them if they got any website for our boss but unfortunately they could't understand English.So I wonder if they still travel where ever our boss goes for concert and so on. Any of u ppl experienced this or know bout this matter?
Re: [arr] Need Clarification!!!
If you remember, AR once said in an interview that he does not allow any sub-standard work to get out of the studio. Some of the songs in these movies you mentioned might be an exception for various reasons which we are not sure. But I feel that he might have not personally been there in the studio but would have definitely composed the tunes remotely and monitored the mixing. The main problem with few songs were that they lacked AR's class in orchestration. Still few songs like Udhaya Udhaya are thoroughly enjoyable.

[arr] I have rarely come across somebody who is so passionate about the fight against poverty
http://endpoverty2015.org/english/news/millennium-campaign-supporter-becomes-first-indian-artist-win-two-oscars/27/feb/09 Composer and long-time UN Millennium Campaign supporter A.R. Rahman took home two Oscars at the Academy Awards this Sunday, for best original score and best original song in the hit film Slumdog Millionaire. In accepting the awards, Rahman became the first Indian artist to win two Oscars. Rahman has long been a supporter of the Millennium Development Goals. In 2007, he served as one of three judges evaluating competing singers on Mission Ustaad, a blockbuster television program in India with the mission of making a difference by promoting the Millennium Development Goals. Rahman has also performed at an anti-poverty concert in Delhi, launched an anti-poverty song entitled Pray for Me Brother and appeared in two of the Millennium Campaign's public service announcements. The UN Millennium Campaign works with a wide range of celebrities across the world, but I have rarely come across somebody who is so passionate about the fight against poverty, and that too with such humility, said Salil Shetty, Director of the UN Millennium Campaign. A lot of this, no doubt, comes from his own lived experience of hardship and a humble beginning. We don't see Rahman purely as a celebrity advocate for the Millennium Development Goals and the UN, but much more than that. He is really a fellow campaigner against poverty and injustice. The Millennium Campaign joins with fans around the globe in congratulating Rahman! -- Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate!

Slept hardly for sometime (as I was very excited to watch the show) none of my 4nds turned up (was actually planning to go with my 4nds as i did not had a vehicle)but I was very determined. Some how managed to pick a katara scooter and travelled all the way to the venue all alone and had great great fun. I still remember every moment of it. Rahmanji, A great musician, a great singer, a great composer on top of all A WONDERFUL AND GREAT HUMAN BEING. Having said the above I am not trying to prove that I am a big fan of ARR all I wanted to say is that I have learnt several things from the show, like love for others and respect for others. MY GOD once said *Be a good son to your parents; Be a good husband to your wife and Be a good father to your son, and that would make you a good friend to me AR Rahmanhttp://rahmaniac.wordpress.com/biography/ *.

[arr] Jai Ho is by far the biggest chart beneficiary of an Oscar Best Song win
Source - http://idolator.com/5169688/the-reverse-swift-cyrus-scales-charts-with-l\ ess-funky-more-honky-tonk Snippets from the post... While I was on hiatus last week, the biggest mover on the Hot 100 was Jai Ho, A.R. Rahman's energizing theme from Slumdog Millionaire. The song exploded from No. 100 up to No. 15 in the week just after the song and the movie won their respective Oscars. (This week, it's back down to No. 36.) Digital sales of the song were the primary catalyst for last week's big move, catapulting from about 22,000 in the week leading up to Oscar Sunday, to 130,000 the week after, a nearly sixfold increase. But Top 40 radio jumped on the song also; it ranked 47th among all songs at pop radio last week. The bad news: most of that airplay is coming from the remix featuring vocals from lead Pussycat Doll (and Idolator punchline) Nicole Scherzinger. Hence, on the Hot 100, the song's full credits read, Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny), by A.R. Rahman The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger. (Smells like the solo-career-stoking credit Wham! featuring George Michael used for Careless Whisper back in the day.) The good news: digital-song buyers have better taste than radio programmers - Rahman's original recording is handily outselling the PCD remix. In the week just after the Oscars, the ratio was nearly four-to-one in favor of Rahman by himself (103,000 downloads, versus 27,000 for the PCD version). This week, the ratio's down to about two-to-one, but Rahman still outsells La Scherz (36,000 to 18,000). One last, fun tidbit: Best as I can tell-going just by Hot 100 data over the last 50 years - Jai Ho is by far the biggest chart beneficiary of an Oscar Best Song win in history. No song has ever risen dozens of spaces up the chart just one week after the ceremony. Mostly, that has to do with timing. Jai Ho is an emerging hit right now, whereas most years, the ultimate award-winner either wasn't a chart hit at all, or it had already topped the charts weeks or even months before the Oscar ceremony (e.g., 1971's Theme from Shaft, 1978's Last Dance, 1986's Take My Breath Away, 1997's My Heart Will Go On, 2002's Lose Yourself, among many others). Among the few songs that needed the Oscar boost to fly up the charts, to varying degrees, were such '70s winners as Barbra Streisand's The Way We Were and Evergreen; the Carpenters' cover of For All We Know; Maureen McGovern's The Morning After; and Keith Carradine's I'm Easy. And before Jai Ho, the Oscar winner with the most visible improvement in the week right after the ceremony was Bruce Springsteen's 1993 winner Streets of Philadelphia, which crept up a couple of spaces to enter the Top 10 in April 1994, right after the Boss collected his statue.

Re: Khwaja song - my impression (Re: [arr] Let's keep in mind the attitudes and exposure of the elders)
I disagree. On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 1:44 PM, V S Rawat vsra...@gmail.com wrote: On 3/12/2009 3:11 PM India Time, _Jahanzeb Farooq_ wrote: in fact we watched JA together and during Khwaja mere khwaja as I mentioned that music is by ARR, he said I did not see anything special (sadly enough. may because it was in bad quality. also we know that ARR's music grows but he does not). I am a known JA basher so I thought I can say about this song also. khwaja song might be holding additional value for muslims due to its religious connotations, and for general fans it might have got some high weightage due to the anecdotes of ARR having composed it already and then AG using it in the film. But as a song, I find khwaja song quite barren and monotonous if I can say that. It is a sort of introvert song giving a feel that a person must be singing it within his heart and mind. It is his personal pleasure. Others would not be able to connect to it. Firstly, the song has some 1:20 initial alaaps that are quire boring to say and kill the entire beauty of song that comes after that. It is more like the sounds generated when a player tunes up his instruments before starting to really play it up. Such a long wasted part is a sin in current busy time. Those ya khwaja ji, moinuddin, gareeb nawaz are without any lyrical or music value. So, I think the start itself is badly thought up. But then the song starts with lovely music BUT, BUT BUT poor lyrics. A typical lack of creativity in the monotonous, logically-built up lyrics as is usually the case with Javed Akhtar. Khwaja Mere Khwaja Dil Mein Sama ja Bebaso ki Taqdeer Tu ne hai sawari There is no rhyming, no deep devotion. All that dil mein sama ja type of phrases had been used a 1000 times in cheap ladki-pataao songs in 60s and here he comes up with that in a 21st century devotional song. I would say that the major failure of the song remains in the poor lyrics. Then, it fails in arrangements of vocals. None of the voices carry and ethos and pathos. They are just singing an any song, not a religious song for the most respected muslim personality of Indian subcontinent. pronunciations are also not clear. that bebaso ki taqdeer tu ne hai sanwari, has bebaso and tu ne pronounced so pooorly that one has to strain to hear it and make the meaning of it. Sad that it is our man himself. And then Tere darbaar mein khwaza noor ko mainne dekha has noor pronounced so poorly by our man himself, and then there are alaaps, and then the music gives the impression that the line is going to be repeated, tere darbar mein khwaja - but they drop the line unceremoniously and begin another line - sar jhukaate hain auliya. What was so great in mentioning that auliya sar jhukate hain, so what, is that why you feel respect for him? I think the respect should have come from within, not due to seeing how others are respecting him. and then tu hai khwaja - rutaba hai pyara chahne se tujhko mustafa ko paya that xxx is still not clear to my aging ears. and lastly that hai mere peer ka sadqa, tera daman hai thama, tali hai bala hamari, chhaya hai khumar tera, jitna bhi rashq karein beshaq, to ab hai XXX mere khwaja, tere kadmo ko mere rahnuma nahin chhodna gawara. I don't get what exactly is the concept. No rhyming, no poetry, just some words have got hammerred in. It must be the poorest lyrics by Javed. I would say that ARR's voice is also not as sweet enough as he is famed for, there is a rare shrillness, a hollow in ARR's voice that I don't remember having heard in any other song. May be he was trying a new voice but it didn't suit my ears. all the internal aalaaps also are confusing, making it a classical song. They are not even bringing a sense of a trance. And as I already said once that JA music was a personal music and didn't reflect the lavishness of the film. I think I can describe now what I meant by that personal vs lavishness. Listen to the music between 3:40 - 4:05. That Persian sort of. Now, that is what I call a royal music, that has lavishness, that has luxury, that is group music, public music. Also the instrument that stars playing at the backdrop at about 6:10 and continues till the end of song. that single instrument is giving a royal touch to the song. That type of music is what I expected to be everywhere in JA music and background, but no, we didn't get that. Our man had different ideas about music suitable for the emperor of India. Compare the above two sounds to the sound at 1:20-1:45. Now this 1:20 sound is what I call a personal sound, lacking royal touch. It is a commoner's, a poor man's sound, now suitable for a period film. Seeing so many members liking the song so much, mentioning it as their most fav song, etc., I tried to listen to it several times, but this is one song of ARR that I found lacking in almost each and every aspect. -- Compare that to D6's Arziyaan.
Re: [arr] 'Rahman's music would not have worked for my films' - Director Bala
In my view, IR excels in the kind of music Bala's movies demands. No doubt I would to like to see ARR work on such subjects - which is very rustic. I somehow feel ARR's work is too polished for such themes. Nobody offers him such themes anymore. Gone are the days of Uzhavan, Kizhakku Cheemaiyile and Sangamam.

Re: [arr] 'Rahman's music would not have worked for my films' - Director Bala
The thread has so far been in good spirit. I don't see anything hideous here. We can't discuss without pointing the names of people (of course not when speaking about members, but with celebrities and public personalities that's the way it has to be). ARR asked not to abuse. We are always within our rights to compare different works, not people.
