Re: [arr] [non-arr] TAJMAHAL........A MUST

[Ravi d]

ARR was great for Lagaan it sounded more ancient. Naushad is respected
for his age, If ARR does the same kind then young mass will not
collect, Egs Tajmahal Audio CD when I went to buy the shopkeeper said I
was the first to ask and the sales were dull. Do u expect ARR's music
to be treated that way. More over it depends on the director Tajmahal
also had dialogues which was difficult to understand it was more like
the urdu spoken by scholars. Did Mangal Pandey had that NO.

mood of the film.In our long discussions after MangalPandey, some members hadcommented that Naushad gave the music for then currenttimes, and not for period, but, here, in tajmahal, he stillgives the similar music that you guys had attributed as 1960
music and not a period music.That is the inconsistency with ARR's music that it does notgel with the era of the film. ARR always gives currentmusic. His music was not 1947-ish in Krishna or Earth, nor
1857-ish in mangal pandey, so on. It is like R D Berman's1942 A Love Story music was current music of 1990s and wasnot 1942-ish.At that time, I had no recent period films to cite asexample, but now here is Tajmahal which does not have
2005-ish music at all.Further, Naushad has even used the voices that ARR uses,especially Hariharan, even then he could get a feel of thatperiod, that our man didn't (I wouldn't say, he couldn't).
Apart from the cassette/ CD, the BGM at the meenaa baazaarscene in the film is a joy to listen to. So different, sogenuinely persian. So 1600-ish.Thus, I repeat my that line that ARR never really gave a
period music in his period films.Thanks Gomtesh for bringing it up.--Rawat------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~-->Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups. Make Yahoo! your home page
