I'm really excited about this Bhajan being re-composed by Rahman. It's one of my favorite Bhajans and to hear Rahman's touch in it is going to make it an unbelievably blissful listening experience!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!
>From geocities.com/arr4music Movie: River Moon / Water [The controversial 'Water' movie rechristened] Cast - Liza Ray [as Kalyani], Seema Biswas [as Shakuntala], John Abraham [as Narayana], Manorama, Raghuvir Yadav [as Gulabi], Kulbhushan Kharbanda [as Sadananda], Waheeda Rahman [as Bhagavati], Vinay Pathak [as Rabindra], Rishma Malik [as Snehalata] Director - Deepa Mehta Producer - Ajay Virmani, David Hamilton Lyrics - Javed Akthar, Sukhwinder Singh - "River Moon was the working title. It's "Water", my 4-year-old dream. I've relocated it from Varanasi." - Deepa Mehta - all songs finished. A.R.Rahman has rated this as his only album which he would give a 10/10. - 2 songs by Richa Sharma. - "Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye.." by Kaushiki Chakrabarty, along with her father Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty. Says Kaushiki, "Water was a wonderful experience. I didn't even realise that I was singing for a film or that A.R Rahman was recording a song. He called me to the studio and asked me to do a practice session and that is what he recorded. It was as simple as that." [Indian Express] Rahman provided her with no background music, but asked her to sing different variations for the given tune. "I sang all the variations I could conceive of. It was like rediscovering myself," she smiles. - Deepa Mehta : "The two women characters of the film, played by Nandita Das*** and Shabana Azmi***, were in search of liberation from the miserable social and cultural set-up. Ultimately, one widow associates herself with Gandhiji's satyagraha. The film ends with the widow touching Gandhiji's feet with the famous bhajan, "Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye..", being sung in the background". - The market is equally agog about A R Rahman's spiritual odyssey for Deepa Mehta's Water. "The music he has created for Water is simply barrier-breaking," Deepa enthuses. Rahman has reportedly experimented with an assortment of authentic voices. He thinks it is his life's best work, and I tend to agree. The music negotiations are still on. The producer hopes to compensate himself at least partially for the losses suffered during the aborted shooting of Water in Varanasi by selling the music rights. [India Today, Dec 2000] - "It has the makings of a phenomenal soundtrack." - Deepa Mehta. - This movie is all set to open the Toronto Film Festival starting on Sep 8th.
