[arr] Enai Kanavillaye from Kadhal Desam - Need Info

2009-03-17 Thread Sath Murthy
As we all know that the song Enai Kanavillaye was a masterpiece by ARR. Sung by 
SPB and another classical singer named O.S.Arun.

I guess that was the one and only time ARR used Arun's voice for a song. I also 
remember that Arun mentioning that the original tune of this song was based on 
a pakistani ghazal or something.. I don't exactly recollect the words of Arun. 
The article also mentioned that Arun sang this song and ended with the 
pakistani song that he was referring too in that function. 

Do anyone have any info on this... Was it a inspiration or a?  please 
clarify...

Thanks
Sath Murthy.

Even though this song has been credited as Shankar Mahadevan's first tamil 
song. He has already debuted in Tamil film VIP and sung Netru No No along with 
Dominique. May be this can be said as his first Solo song.

ARR produced gems for this movie sangamam.. which was completely wasted by 
Suresh Krishna (another one was Baba).
MSV along with Hariharan song was spectacular Wow what a combo...

Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the style of

Varaaga Nadhikarai is extremely fabulous..Infact the complete
album 'Sangamam' along with BGMs rock big time..

Marghazi Thingal and Mazha Thuli are splendid too.
The freshness in this album is beyond words..I do not know 
single word of Tamil,but song like 'Varaaga'rose above the 
language barrier.
Really Want Shankar M again to sing for AR and bring out another classic like

[arr] Blue release date 14th August

2009-03-17 Thread russel_mohammed
Blue release date on 14th August.

We have to wait till July for Audio Release.

Any other release b4 that..?

Any one hav any information.

'Blue', 'London Dreams' set to clash on August 14 
Mumbai (IANS): It will be a clash of the Titans. Two of the biggest films of 
the year, Vipul Shah's London Dreams and director Anthony D'Souza's Blue, 
are set to release on the same day - August 14. 

To prevent the clash in dates, Vipul has been trying to convince the makers of 
Blue to release it a week earlier. I don't think there should be a problem. 
Not with Akshay (Kumar) being part of 'Blue', Vipul told IANS. 

Vipul had earlier taken friend Akshay into confidence and met Raj Mehta, head 
honcho of Asthavinayak, to request them for a change in the release date of 
Blue. 

It wasn't just any two big films clashing. It was an Akshay starrer clashing 
with my film. Akshay is not just a favourite actor, a close friend and business 
associate. His business interests are my concern. So we did request Raj Mehta 
to shift the date for their 'Blue'. Yes, they've agreed to release the film one 
week before 'London Dreams' August 7, Vipul had said. 

However, Anthony D'Souza, who is shooting round the clock to complete the film, 
insists that the release will be on schedule. 

As far as I know they ('London Dreams') are releasing a week before us. We're 
releasing on Aug 13 (a Thursday) which is a public holiday. The added holiday 
gives us the longest-ever weekend for a film to release and grow. 

Vipul, however, insists London Dreams is coming out on Aug 14. 

To this, Anthony D'Souza said: In that case we'll both come together. There's 
no way we're pre-poning 'Blue'. We want the long Independence Day weekend. Are 
we stupid to give it up because of competition. In any case 'London Dreams' and 
'Blue' are very different films. I believe there's room for two big films when 
they don't clash in theme or star cast. 

However, Vipul seems to think it's suicidal to release both films during the 
same weekend. London Dreams features Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan.

  Well, to start i would like to say that I am a great fan of rahman's
 music.
  I feel he has a unique style which some composers like sandeep chowta and
 at
  times Shankar ehsaan loy, have tried to emulate, but they sumhow fall
 short
  on quality.
  I  first heard Rahman's music in Roja, though at that time I was too
 young
  to appreciate how good it was at the time. After listening to Dil Se..i
 was
  really hooked. But what really made me a huge fan of his music was the
 album
  'Taal'. For a long time i thought that Taal's depth, diversity and scale
  would never be matched..and I was almost right
  The only person who could outd Taal was Rahman himself. Its been quite a
  journey for the maestro. Although some of his albums have been quite
  pathetic (One 2 Ka four, Doli Sajake Rakhna, Mangal pandey..which was a
  disaster)..and some which bordered greatness (Thakshak, Saathiya,
  Zubeida)..his music has always offered new sounds and melodies. . I wasnt
  too impressed with Rangeela..tho it was his first purely hindi album. His
  greatest works include, apart from the ones i mentioend earlier Swades,
  Lagaan, Meenakshi, Jodha Akbar and several others
 
  A little bit about myself...i was a student of indian classical music for
  several years when i was younger..thus Rahmans music appealed to me even
  more. Talking of recent albums, well Delhi-6 is such a great album..it
 ranks
  alongside Taal and Dil se in my books.
  I sincerely feel that Jai Ho did not deserve an oscar. Being an ardent
 fan
  of Rahman I feel that he has made several much better songs in the past.
 Im
  extremely happy for him, and feel that his award was long due..but It
 would
  have been better if he'd got the award for some other song. (eg Luka
 Chuppi
  from RDG or Rehna Tu frm Delhi-6...which are both infinetly better
 numbers)
 
  The greatest strength of Rahman is that he is always up to date with
  technology involving music. Always experimenting with different
 instruments,
  creating new sounds and composing new melodies is what makes him such a
  winnerThere is a great difference in the Rahman of Roja and Bombay,
 and
  now.
 
  Lastly, I would also like to say that apart from Rahman I simply love
  Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music ..they are No.2 on my list of best composers
 in
  the country. ..
  I do not understand any south indian language as im from Mumbai, so
 pardon
  me if I have missed out on Rahmans Tamil films( I know there are many !)

[arr] And The Award Goes To

2009-03-17 Thread Prakash Balaramkrishna
http://backgroundscore.blogspot.com/2009/03/and-award-goes-to.html

A.R..Rahman after winning every possible international award for his background 
score in 'Slumdog Millionaire', is now winning every possible Hindian Best 
Background Score award for 'Jodha Akbar'.
Given the length and the drama of Jodha Akbar, it is evident that
Rahman has worked really hard on the background score of 'Jodha Akbar'
and he himself admitted he composed more than 100 cues for Jodha
Akbar's background score. 

But as I already mentioned here,
though Jodha Akbar has some great background scoring moments, as a
whole, Jodha Akbar's score is not Rahman's best in 2008. In 2008,
Rahman did background score for 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na', 'Jodha Akbar', 
'Ghajini' and 'Yuuvraaj'.
I haven't seen 'Yuuvraaj', so can't really comment on its score, but
Ghajini's score was too loud. Unfortunately, Rahman has gone Harris
Jeyaraj way in its loudness, and it may also be because the movie
director is the same A.R.Murugadass, who directed the Tamil version. 

In
the interview with Raihana in the Rahmania show, Murugadass confirmed
that it is he who wanted the score to sound like the way it is in the
movie. Rahman delivered what Murugadass demanded and hence the
loudness. But all that is an excuse, I thought Rahman with his
influence would reduce the loudness and make the movie sound saner.
There is so much scope in Ghajini for a much deeper and intelligent
scoring, which Rahman didn't make full use of. Finally, 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' 
is the movie which has a consistently good background score throughout the 
movie. 

Moving
away from A.R.Rahman, of all the movies that I got a chance to watch in
2008, two movies had background score that is worth talking about - Mithya and 
Aamir.
Though the main theme sounds heavily inspired from the theme of Requiem
for Dream, Amit Trivedi did a good job in pushing the raw energy, pace,
tension and the suspense with his score in Aamir. If the score is just
as good as the movie, then my best background score award for 2008 goes
to Mithya. Beautifully subtle and adequately expressive is the score
for Mithya. Evoking the feel of classic Nino Rita's Godfather score, Sagar 
Desai’s score for Mithya, to me is the best of 2008.

  rhythm, very similar in pattern to the Taal Se Taal mila, Hai Na, Chale
  Chalo Mitwa ghungru tracks, taken away, then back again for the final
  portion of the song. Just pure magic.
 
  I truly with Shankar M would sing for ARR again.
 
  Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the style
  of Sangamam (folk, semi classical), so we can really look forward to that.
 
  Am curious to know what everyone's favorite song from Sangamam is.

Thulasi,

Thank you very much for the BGM link. Ramesh isn't comparing here and he is 100 
% right. He refers 'homage' as in 'special honor' or 'respect shown' that ARR 
showing towards Morricone. Even I felt the Morriconish sounds when I listened 
that piece. No offence meant here.

[arr] sharing my little SdM/ARR experience in Italy

2009-03-17 Thread Jahanzeb Farooq
last days i was visiting Rome (Italy). there were some small experiences of 
SDM/ARR i want to share. 

once while walking on the famous Via del Corso street i suddenly heard someone 
singing ringa ringa. as i looked there were two Italian guys (both probably in 
their 40s) passing by, one singing ring ring ringa, ring ring ringa to the 
other. i was so amazed and tried to hear more however could not get what they 
talked after that (in Italian language). and after that they started discussing 
Latika (Freida Pinto) :-) probably they were just coming out of the cinema as 
it was located on the same street a little ahead. perhaps one of them was 
describing the other how he liked the songs etc. i was so amazed that how 
general western audience liked the music. i also realized how catchy ringa 
ringa is for westerners compared to other songs of SDM. may be if i had heard 
them a little ago i found them talking about Jai ho and others as well.

later benefiting from my visit i took some time to experience watching SDM 
there (in cinema). although I had already seen it twice (thanks to piracy) but 
not on big screen as it was not released here in Denmark until recently. SDM 
was released in Italy on 5 December under the title The Millionaire. i 
watched it in a fully packed theater. and do i need to add that not a single 
person left the hall until Jai ho was completely ended? i think no. 
watching the experience was overwhelming and i must say altogether new compared 
to watching it on small screen. the BGM was so exotic and thumping which added 
immense energy to scenes. talking about the songs besides O saya especially the 
way Mausam  escape was used was truly awesome. i really loved to see that they 
used the best of the lot (Mausam  escape) twice. it is so energetic and 
thumping especially in the second scene where first it runs lightly in 
background as Jamal sees Latika on platform and then suddenly starts loudly as 
Saleem and his guys run to get Latika. i also noticed that when Mausam  escape 
is played in the first scene (kids escaping) the sitar is played in the 
background, i mean it is not very prominent as if it was dimmed but in the 
second scene it is loud and very clear. the second best piece i liked was when 
Liquid dance is played, loud and right in your face, un-ignorable. also i 
noticed that there is a difference between versions of Riots on CD and in the 
movie. in the later there is some additional instrument, like piano, playing 
throughout, which is missing in CD version.

also on my way to Rome (in Munich) i noticed an article on SDM's Oscars in a 
German newspaper (called Bild) which i found interesting somehow. here is a 
scan of it:

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7792/arrpaper.jpg  

the article circles ARR's in photo. it mentions him with full name Allah Rakha 
Rahman all the way. here is the translation i managed to come up with:

Composer Alla Rakha Rahman (43) is the son of an Indian left politician.


wow... did we know that? lol. or perhaps it is translation error.


Composer Allah Rakha Rahman (best film music) should become a doctor, however 
failed (or dropped) in exam.


wow.. did we know that? at least not me.


The title song  Jai ho (Best song) was written for the film  Yuvraaj 
(Remake of Rain Man) nevertheless its director did not want it.


quite right that Ghai did not want it however it is a surprise to me that 
Yuvraaj was a remake of Rain Main.

chord,
oru poiyavathu song is from the film jodi, not tajmahal.
my fav from tajmahal is kuliridu kuliridu and chota chota, especially in the 
male version the usage of guitar in the beginning and again towards the end is 
just awesome :) all songs from tajmahal rocked, but the film was really a big 
big disappoinment :(

One of ARR's most beautiful albums.  Just oozing with melody and soul and with 
good experimentation too.  My favorites are Senkatte, Karisal Tharisil, Chotta 
Chotta, Oru Poiyavathu, and Eechi Elumichi (mayo mayojust awesome!).

Sangamam is one of my all time favourite albums of Rahman..I can easily say 
that this is one Rahman album which I have heard maximum number of times..Since 
its release no week has gone by wherein I didnt hear the songs from Sangamam 
atleast once..I go totally crazy when it comes to songs from Sangamam.
 
All the songs are amazing in this album...The way MSV and Hariharan bring in 
energy in Alalakanda, the melting voice of sujatha when she starts of with 
Mudal murai, Shankar mahadevan's amazing rendition of Varagzhai, the powerfull 
voice of Nityashree in Sowkiyama, the richness of Margazhi thingal and the 
burst of emotions in Mazhai Thuli..this album is an amazing experience.

2009-03-17 Thread Vithur
ARR-Catch him if U can! IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 17, 2009]

Considering the demand for his compositions, getting A.R.Rahman on board for
a project was never an easy task for the producers back in India. Now after
his twin-Oscar triumph, it has become all the more difficult. In all
probabilities the music maestro will be seen doing less music for Indian
films.

Well this situation is due to the newly formed upsurge in the international
music markets for his contributions. The celebrated pop star Akon has now
collaborated with Rahman for a song titled ‘Beautiful’. A.R.R is also being
featured in the video of this track along with the American Pop singer Colby
O’ Donis and Canadian hip hop artist Kardinal Offishall.

The other person to soon work with the music wizard will be Nicole
Scherzinger, the lead singer of the girl band “Pussycat Dolls”. The band had
already worked on their English version of the song ‘Jai Ho’ from ‘Slumdog
Millionaire’. It looks like Nicole has taken a great liking for Rahman’s
kinda music.She will soon start the work on a full album with Rahman.

There are also murmurs going around that the composer will be working with
the gorgeous lady vocalist from India and a video will also be shot in the
typical Bollywood style.

As much as I look forward to new ARR music, I'm going to value the gap between 
D6 and the next one, which is probably going to be Blue in July.  This will 
allow me to really assimilate all the great music he has dished out in the past 
year, alow time to listen to his earlier albums, and also listen to other 
artists' works, who I have been neglecting.  Nevertheless, I'm eagerly awaiting 
Blue and all the rest of them lined up!

Wise in the ways of personal attraction, and knowing that beauty resides in

last days i was visiting Rome (Italy). there were some small 
experiences of SDM/ARR i want to share. 



once while walking on the famous Via del Corso street i suddenly heard someone 
singing ringa ringa. as i looked there were two Italian guys (both probably in 
their 40s) passing by, one singing ring ring ringa, ring ring ringa to the 
other. i was so amazed and tried to hear more however could not get what they 
talked after that (in Italian language). and after that they started discussing 
Latika (Freida Pinto) :-) probably they were just coming out of the cinema as 
it was located on the same street a little ahead. perhaps one of them was 
describing the other how he liked the songs etc. i was so amazed that how 
general western audience liked the music. i also realized how catchy ringa 
ringa is for westerners compared to other songs of SDM. may be if i had heard 
them a little ago i found them talking about Jai ho and others as well.




later benefiting from my visit i took some time to experience watching SDM 
there (in cinema). although I had already seen it twice (thanks to piracy) but 
not on big screen as it was not released here in Denmark until recently. SDM 
was released in Italy on 5 December under the title The Millionaire. i 
watched it in a fully packed theater. and do i need to add that not a single 
person left the hall until Jai ho was completely ended? i think no. 


watching the experience was overwhelming and i must say altogether new compared 
to watching it on small screen. the BGM was so exotic and thumping which added 
immense energy to scenes. talking about the songs besides O saya especially the 
way Mausam  escape was used was truly awesome. i really loved to see that they 
used the best of the lot (Mausam  escape) twice. it is so energetic and 
thumping especially in the second scene where first it runs lightly in 
background as Jamal sees Latika on platform and then suddenly starts loudly as 
Saleem and his guys run to get Latika. i also noticed that when Mausam  escape 
is played in the first scene (kids escaping) the sitar is played in the 
background, i mean it is not very prominent as if it was dimmed but in the 
second scene it is loud and very clear. the second best piece i liked was when 
Liquid dance is played, loud and right in your face, un-ignorable. also i 
noticed that there is a difference between
 versions of Riots on CD and in the movie. in the later there is some 
additional instrument, like piano, playing throughout, which is missing in CD 
version.




also on my way to Rome (in Munich) i noticed an article on SDM's Oscars in a 
German newspaper (called Bild) which i found interesting somehow. here is a 
scan of it:



http://img7. imageshack. us/img7/7792/ arrpaper. jpg  



the article circles ARR's in photo. it mentions him with full name Allah Rakha 
Rahman all the way. here is the translation i managed to come up with:



Composer Alla Rakha Rahman (43) is the son of an Indian left politician.



wow... did we know that? lol. or perhaps it is translation error.



Composer Allah Rakha Rahman (best film music) should become a doctor, however 
failed (or dropped) in exam.



wow.. did we know that? at least not me.



The title song  Jai ho (Best song) was written for the film  Yuvraaj 
(Remake of Rain Man) nevertheless its director did not want it.



quite right that Ghai did not want it however it is a surprise to me that 
Yuvraaj was a remake of Rain Main.

  I need to express my feelings about this song from Sangamam, which really

  impresses both intellectually and emotionally. The way Shankar M has sung

  this song is absolutely divine. The infectious dholak rhythm with the Mast

  Qalandar like melody (not at all copied) makes this song my very favorite

  from Sangamam.

 

  I love it when the second interlude adds this incredibly infectious ghungru

  rhythm, very similar in pattern to the Taal Se Taal mila, Hai Na, Chale

  Chalo Mitwa ghungru tracks, taken away, then back again for the final

  portion of the song. Just pure magic.

 

  I truly with Shankar M would sing for ARR again.

 

  Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the style

  of Sangamam (folk, semi classical), so we can really look forward to that.

 

  Am curious to know what everyone's favorite song from Sangamam is.

*Oh ! What a Surprise*

Balachander had put the name of Sekar in his movie  Naanal. In future, the
same Balachander produced and Maniratnam directed  Roja, and his son
became the Music Composer. What an Union.

Once when Shekhar went to Mumbai, he wanted to catch a glimpse of famous
Musician  Naushad  from a distance. His desire and dream didnt get
fulfilled. The same Naushad came to his most loved son Rahman's residence
and this wasnt foreseen by Shekhar at that moment.

Seeing Shekhar's Musical Talents, S.D. Burman invited him to Bollywood for
composing music. But he didnt go. In future, the same Bollywood Industry had
put red Carpet for his Beloved Son Rahman, and had welcomed him and this is
such a big surprise.

[arr] Killing them softly...

2009-03-17 Thread Gopal Srinivasan

Killing them softly...
Deepa Natarajan
I shouldnt do something to disappoint the audience as well as myself
A R Rahman

His silence speaks volumes, and his peaceful smile can melt millions of hearts. 
But everyone
knows music maestro Allah Rakha Rahman is known for more than that. With 
soulful notes that
strike a magical chord with the audience, time and again, it wouldn’t be 
incorrect to say that
whatever he touches, turns into gold.  The Oscar-winner took time out in 
between a shoot to
speak to Metrolife.  

The Oscar frenzy is yet to die down with the entire world wanting for more of 
the man. So, what
does he think of his journey so far? He thinks a lot and smiles, “The progress 
has been good,
but very strange actually.” He treasures the National Award he won for Roja as 
much as the
Academy Award. “It was an honour to win the National Award for my first film 
itself,” he says.
“But winning an Oscar feels nice too as it was the first film I got nominated 
for.”

One thing that the genius is careful about, is to not disappoint his fans. “I 
am very careful
about not doing things,” he smiles and adds, “Because I shouldn’t do something 
to disappoint
the audience, as well as myself. I want to satisfy myself as an artist.” 

Currently, the man is working on the music of three films — Mani Ratnam’s 
Ravana, Shankar’s
Enthiran (Robot) and Anthony D’Souza’s Blue. “The music of these films will be 
similar to what
I have been doing all these years,” is all he says. How does he feel about Jai 
Ho making its
way to the Billboards. “It was planned because we wanted to keep the Slumdog 
fever going.
That’s why the Pussy Cat Dolls was chosen for it,” he replies. 
One can’t help but ask him about his experience of working with Kylie Minogue 
in Blue. “Kylie
is like a child,” he says. “She is very sweet. I actually wanted to make her 
sing in Hindi but
I fell ill at that point of time.” He adds, “That song was recorded just a day 
after the
BAFTAs.” The soft-spoken man has had a close association with Bangalore. “I get 
so angry when
people perform here and don’t come to Chennai,” he jokes. Is he referring to 
any artiste in
particular? “No, I am just joking,” he laughs. “But there is a great creative 
vibe here.” He
recollects the time he performed in the City. “I played here only once, under 
very strange
circumstance, with the rain falling over a crowd of thousands.” So when do the 
fans in
Bangalore get to see him perform again? “Oh, very soon,” he pauses, and laughs 
mischievously,
“Once the recession is over.” But he assures that he will perform in the City 
soon.  

It’s been a long journey for Rahman. Ask him to recollect one memorable moment, 
he thinks about
his pilgrimage to Ajmer Sharief, “It was more awkward actually. It was supposed 
to be a secret
visit with family, but the moment I got down there, I got a shock seeing 
hundreds of people,”
he says. And finally, which album of his, has been the closest to his heart? He 
answers softly,
“Roja.”

[arr] A Rahman jugalbandi with Rafi

2009-03-17 Thread Gopal Srinivasan

A Rahman jugalbandi with Rafi

For 27-year-old Mohammed Rafi and his wife Mehnaz, it was a once-in-a-lifetime 
moment as Oscar
winner A R Rahman visited them at their home in Devinagar on Tuesday afternoon 
to give away an
award

PRIYANKA NAHATA AND VINESH VASANTH BETRABET 



It was an all-too-brief meeting at their home just after noon on Tuesday, 
but for Mohammed
and Mehnaz Rafi it’s afterglow is something they will cherish for life as a 
sepia moment.
Oscar-winning music director A R Rahman stopped by at RMV Cluster, Devinagar, 
to say hello and
hand over an award to the couple, after they had won a lucky-draw contest 
sponsored by a cell
phone company for which Rahman has done the ad jingles. 
“Sorry I don’t have any time for bakra calls,” that was exactly what 
Mohammed Rafi, an
engineer, said when he first got a call that told him of Rahman’s visit to his 
house. Rafi, all
of 27-years, says, “Usually it is in a five-star hotel or an airport that we 
bump into
celebrities, but today it was my own house where I hosted one of India’s 
greatest musicians, A
R Rahman.” 
It was on March 15 that the Rafis were intimated about the award they had 
won and Rahman’s
arrival. Rafi had to postpone an important official visit to Delhi. And with 
just two days left
for his arrival, there were many doubts in the couple’s mind. We were very 
excited but at the
same time a bit apprehensive about our small house. We were wondering what to 
do to make this
moment memorable for him, says Rafi. A lot of preparation went in terms of 
security and the
whole apartment was whitewashed, he adds. 
A GIFT FOR MAESTRO 
Rahman, dressed in his usual attire of a Polo T-shirt, jeans and a blazer 
came surrounded
by guards and the marketing executives of the company which had sponsored his 
visit to Rafi’s
house. He arrived at 12.05 pm and straight away went and shook hands with Rafi 
and said, “This
is Rahman. I am sure you must be Rafi.” The two had a private chat where they 
spoke about each
other’s families and jobs. Rahman then went on to narrate his experience when 
he visited Ajmer
recently. His eyes sparkling, Rafi goes on to say, “We offered him a special 
Strawberry-Vanilla
cake. It was homemade and he appreciated its taste and complimented my wife. I 
didn’t want to
indulge in any ‘official’ talk about how he felt winning the Oscars and which 
are his
forthcoming films. We get enough to read about it everyday so we chose to about 
work and
family.” 
EXCLUSIVE PRESENT 
Rafi, although not a very big fan of Rahman, knew that he was a very 
religious person and
Rahman gleefully accepted the two presents which the Rafis gave him. One was a 
table-top
calendar of religious symbols and the other was a prayer book in which a few 
verses extracted
from the holy Quran had been inscribed. After having opened the first one in 
everyone’s
presence, Rahman refused to open the other one saying that it was an exclusive 
present and he
would like to keep it just for himself. “Whatever you do, may God bless you 
with success in all
your endeavours,” were the words on the prayer book. 
MEMORIES FOR POSTERITY 
“A stage had been set up in our apartment and we were supposed to walk hand 
in hand with
Rahman to the podium but that never happened,” says a slightly disappointed 
Rafi. Although not
many people knew about the visit, the news soon spread fast and before no time 
a crowd had
gathered. As Rehman arrived in a Benz, children and elders alike mobbed him for 
autographs and
posed with him for a few photographs too. Everyone around was shouting Jai Ho. 
The Rafis
couldn’t manage to ask all the thousand unformed questions reeling in their 
heads but they did
ask Rehman about his nickname ‘Isai Puyal’. Pat came the answer: “It means ‘A 
musical storm’.” 
We did not even get a chance to hold his hand and walk down the apartment 
or to sit on the
couch for an interview as planned earlier. Everything turned disorderly, says 
Mehnaz Rafi. It
was a short-lived but intense moment of joy for the couple as Rahman soon left 
for an ad shoot.

Why Tajmahl songs went unnoticed; obviously the movie did not do well is

As much as I look forward to new ARR music, I'm going to value the gap
  between D6 and the next one, which is probably going to be Blue in July.
  This will allow me to really assimilate all the great music he has dished
  out in the past year, alow time to listen to his earlier albums, and also
  listen to other artists' works, who I have been neglecting. Nevertheless,
  I'm eagerly awaiting Blue and all the rest of them lined up!
