[arr] Re: Namakame.....is the only song I love in Komaram Puli
Your music from your Jingle days and the 90s were purely around the carnatic expertise in you...why dont you come back to this realm??? Santosh, this is something i have said a few times in the the group in the past few months. His 90s songs had strong Carnatic flavor in them, and thus this is why people always says his 90s r the best. But if im not mistaken, in a recent interview ARR said that he doesnt want to use carnatic as he is afraid the songs will sound similar to another song frequently and that is why he is trying as much as he can to stay away (not his exact word though) from it. But in my honest Opinion, ARR should use more carnatic bases in his songs nowadays. This does not mean i want ARR to stop his innovativeness, but THE ARRAHMAN STAMP is all about this because he started his career with it and people are remembering his songs for this factor and that is why all this debate on 90s and post 90s songs come about. Songs like Ennavale, Anjali Anjali and such, not only they were extremely modern, but also very Indianized as well. Something that is A.R.RAHMAN all bout... :) IMHO, En Uyir Tozhiye from Kangalal Kaithi Sei post 2000 is by far the most most most soulful melody from A.R.Rahman in recent years which will never fade, ever! :)

Re: [arr] Endhiran for kids only
Taimur and Kishore, its ok to be dissapointed over the album. But to say the album is for kids, was kind of unbearable and an insult to us who r loving it tremendously. Seriously, the album had the typical Shankar - A.R.Rahman combo punch. I feel i was listening to a Kadhalan + Boys album. Very youthful (Kadhalan) and modern (Boys) as well. I will post my review soon, ofcource it wont be musically detailed, but it will be filled with praises and some critics along it.

[arr] Madhushree goes missing in the Tamil and Telugu versions... to ARR Sir
Greeting A.R.Rahman sir, i seriously do hope this message reach you sir. Madhushree has tweeted that she has sung all 3 versions (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) version of her song in Endhiran. This has given us Madhushree fans a BIG dream. But we was disapointed with sir only retaining her voice in the Hindi version. We know you know the best, but it really shattered our dreams. The Madhushree's voice in your composition simply means MAGIC. For instance the ghazal songs of Tehzeeb, Sandai Kozhi Kozhi - Aayitha Ezhutu, Marudhani - Sakarakatti, Vaaji Vaaji - Sivaji, etc etc... I do hope Sir will compensate with giving us more Madhushree numbers in the future... I seriously hope... Thank u Dinesh Scaran

Hi Rivjot... its so nice of u to remember me... haha... ohh yes, i heard the song... but Madhushree did not sing much, and it really did disappoint me. but Chitra madam has done a fabulous job.

Re: [arr] VTV Title song and Emmerson Lake and Palmer
Agreed, Dilse/Uyire comes way behind those albums of Mani-ARR u mentioned. But i personally feel Kandukoindain Kandukoidain was a much more matured composition of ARR compared to Dil Se. Or should i say it reached me better, because of certain personal factors. Every each song had its charm and it was very intact to the Tamil culture and literature. It was a dream to have a Bharathiyar poem with A.R.Rahman's touch. Kannamoochi was a brilliant score. I remember, during the Top 10 songs show at that time, the host explained what and how the Raagams was used in the song, and it had a template which is so complicated and unconventional yet it sounded extremely mind-blowing and sweet to the ears. :). i dun think u should just dismis the album just like that. IF u listen to the album now, and if there is someone to review the album now with complete music knowledge, u will see what kind of album this is and its a sin to say such about this album :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, kishore parayath kishore.paray...@... wrote: Taimur bro..

But there were MUCH BETTER albums of ARR released around that time period, like Kandukonden Kandukonden etc which are seldom talked about these days.

Its been 6 years since Harini sang in A.R.Rahman's composition, and Bombay Jayashree, 13 years. Its another great thing to see P.Suseela singing for ARRahman after 15 years. Great to see a song fully performed by leading Tamil singers and beautiful lyrics about Tamil language. One part it says, A lively language, a world language which will live and grow forever, its our language!. It simply will give u the goosebumps. Such inspiring lyrics. And they way the singers render it, hats off to all the singers. Gautham Menon beautifully shot the video, and Anthony's editing. Its spell bounding... the Gautham Menon-ARRahman combo continues to rock! After listening to this song, the love for my Tamil language has grown tremendously... Such divine song from A.R.Rahman. I read some of the members here was complaining about Blaaze's portion. But i really feel it was very appropriate. Showing the Tamilans are rocking in all genre, even in Rap. Loved it...! Tamil Mozhi Vazhge! A.R.Rahman Vazhge!

To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, 6 May, 2010 7:02:59 Subject: [arr] After Rythm it's VTV! After Rythm it should be VTV in his Filmography. I think so. how? The ARR magic! Rythm is the last ARR album which had ARR's magic. ARR's magic in his music can't be explained; it is meant for experience; the music speaks for itself; there is no need for promoters. After Rythm, there is not a complete ARR album which speaks for itself. Of course there are numbers here and there (Newyork Nagaram, and a few), but not a complete album (alteast 95% magical?). if you remember how you've fallen in love with his music right from Roja, you will accept this. Those are the moments! (It may be harsh; but i am not here to insult his works in this decade! Eventhough they are not having the magic, they are not ordinary scores to be created, just that the satisfaction is missing.) Before Rythm, every album is afresh and a delight to own. We just play the cassettes again and again, unitl we have the next album. No complaints at all. After Rythm, the music of any of his albums didn't speak for themselves, most of the time, we fans were kind of advocating for them; like 'you need to hear it for another two more weeks, and you will like it', 'hey, he has tried something new which is not meant for current generation but will be appreciated in the future', 'i didn't like it initially, but tried hearing it after one year it sounded really good, so try the same', 'you need to have some extraordinary musical senses to understand his music', etc. May be the albums have extraordinary music but they are liked only by a limited number of fans. (Remember, Roja to Rythm has extraordinary music and at the same time liked by everybody). I think if you hear any album for two or more weeks, your mind will accept it and you will start humming it, but you won't feel the refreshness. (What's the need to listen to it?) What happend to him? Where is his magic? Is he saturated? Or am i getting old? Is it becuase of abundance of his kind of music composers? Is there any problem with my senses to capture it, or has he tried something which is meant for future. No clue. That too for a decade. Still unanswered. I am a music fan who has no idea about technicalities of the music creation. I don't want to know any of those technical details in order to enjoy the music. It just has to make us silent and listen to it. It has to renovate us to keep us going. ARR just came in and provided that refreshness (at a time when the music industry started becoming monotonous). I just need the same experience he has given us in the past. I was a bit of disappointed everytime an album released after Rythm. But I(we) waited for his return, since he is capabable of returning the magical experiance. Here comes 2010, here comes VTV, here comes his magic! He is back! This is what we are waiting for. Just play it and listen it. You will be renovated. Absolutely no complaints. Everybody loves the music. (You can refer to the VTV related posts in this group; 95% agree it is awesome). The BGM is perfect and fits the movie. Now it becomes close to our heart. Thanks to Gowtham! I know people, who are not anybody's fans, after hearing 'Hosanna and Omana Pennae', say, 'kaetka kaetka puthusa iruka; he still has the same magic even after 15 years'. This is the same we have experienced in the 90s with his music. And, this is important for his eternal success. We don't want him to give any less of what he has already gifted to us. (Like you want to see sachin scoring 100 in every match). I don't want people to fail, either side! Now, I have retained the hope that he will give us more such gifts. Now, I am happy and going back to listen VTV. Thanks for reading!

Sneghidne and Pacchai Nirame r evergreen. Yaaro Yarodi was a new genre...

Re: [arr] 17 years on, Thiruda Thiruda is still the one to beat
Taimur, very true. Its an immortal album. Taimur, in my view, not only Thiruda Thiruda album is immortal, here r my list... if u havent check them out, u should give it a try... 1.Thiruda Thiruda (im sure u know in and out of all the songs) 2.Duet (My God, what an album...!! actually, i would rate Duet album higher than Thiruda Thiruda) 3.Karuthamma (pure Tamil folk music with modern music/beats...classic!... both the version of Porale Ponnuthaiyi is a gem). 4.Iruvar (Wow, wow, wow... says it all) 5. En Swase Katre ( the tittle song, En Swase Katre can easily sweep off any songs easily... such soulful song Theendai another great carnatic tune blended well with contemporary music, Thirakathe Kaate kulle such blissful song and the ever popular Kadhal Nayagara)... 6.Sangamam ( such complete carnatic album from ARRahman. Its just beautiful... too good... Sowkiyama, a carnatic tune with saxaphone playing the carnatic notes too good...) 7.Uzhavan ( all the songs r too tasty. all the songs have marvelous tunes. Pennale Pennale is even sweeter than sugar itself. give it a try) these albums speaks Quality+Immortality by itself.

[arr] Padaiyappa Voiceless BGMS
I have ripped this bgm a few months back, just to repost the link here : Greetings my frens, I have ripped yet another excellent movie's BGMs of A.R.Rahman, Padaiyappa, starring Rajinikanth, a 1999 movie. And I must say, the layers of the BGM is truly spellbinding ! You will be surprised to find many hidden beauties, esp themes for Neelambari (Ramya Krishnan). A very important note, because the source of the DVD comes from PYRAMID company, its not 100% voiceless, its only 98 % voiceless. Some of the Bgms have a very low volume of voices talking. So please bare with me on that matter, and u will enjoy it. But no worries, still the audio is crystal clear! http://www.dineshscaranvisualz.com/2009/10/padaiyappa-original-motion-picture.html

[arr] Re: 5 years have passed... its drought - I've had it!!!!!!
AJ and co., how does it bother u if fans like Taimur express his feelings here? i find it very genuine. i think its quite simple for u guys to just delete the msgs from ur inbox or just dont read it isnt it? If u still insists on replying to it, do it with maturity. ur last line shows ur far from it. If its his way of expressing is such, why do u go down so low in answering his reply with such words to describe a person? And another thing, U dont own the group to expect what people should and should not post. as a member, just read what u like and reply on it, if u dont like, ignore. if u really want to say something on that issue, say it with respectable words. simple as a b c. Taimur has not used any low graded words to describe the current ARR songs or even u. So why must u say ur 'sick' of him and such?Just appreciating ARR songs doesnt mean ur a good ARR fan. U need to learn to be like ARR. Be humble and tolerate things well.u dont see taimur bashing people who praises his post 2000 style. R u on the same page bro? Back on the issue, his Hindi songs r not reaching the same set of audience as for back then. for ur information, the last hindi arr album that was a hit down here in Malaysia was Taal. Play any songs from Rang De Basanti, Ghajini or Delhi 6 for that matter, people will go huh, what songs r these. Being in India u will not know the difference. Well then again, ARR has to set 2 things with his songs. One is his standard (creativity, etc etc, u name it, he has it all) and whether the songs reached all levels of people ( lacking allot nowadays). I dunno if the common layman is expecting a 90s song, but certainly his current songs r not reaching them. U dont hear the estate people listening to Aayitha Ezhutu or even Sivaji the boss. But back then, everyone will play Minsara Kannavu or Indian songs (remember, back then, that ARR style was NEW and bodiless as well). Taimur is very much speaking the voice of a common layman here. Thats y i see him as a very genuine person. His thoughts very much reflects the people out there. If ur angry with him,it means ur angry with the truth then. Why i say so because i always get the very same comment from many, many, many people. They tend to convey their thoughts to me because im an ARRahman fan. Whether its on the issue that ARR's current style is inferior to his 90s standard as what we brand of, or whether the people's taste have changed, its debatable. but its a fact his filmi songs have lesser impact on people nowadays. Im really glad he has found a new ground to explore (Hollywood). See Jai Ho. He is having his Roja there. He has a whole new process and set of audience to awe. Im happy for it. And ARR songs will always be superior to any other md's songs in term of quality. No doubt. His songs could very much be a study material because of his various patterns and arrangments that is found no where in any corner of the earth. with this, all i wish is that fans here should be an ARR fan by adapting some good qualities from ARR himself. Please oh please, ARR is not just known for his songs, but also his angelic qualities... Please adapt them... well atleast use them in his own home(group).

I know that would disappoint you that I am just writing it off. But I did invest a lot of time listening to the album and it somehow never stuck with me. I felt it was disappointing because it seemed like Rahman on an off day. I'm stepping on another landmine here, but it seemed more like the work of Rahman who made Tenali rather than the one who made Delhi 6. It happens to fans, especially to me. I worship Rahman, but I do not like all his work. SdM is, for me, along with Tenali, his weakest album. It is, bad!  Vimaljk and especially Indmov Buff, yes, I think it was a little high handed to make such a blanket statement. But consider this... all Mani's masterpieces are in Tamil. Watch Aayutha Ezhuthu and Yuva back to back and see which has the Mani Ratnam touch it's AE. Yuva is a disappointment compared with AE. And think about it, AE is itself considered to be Mani's weaker efforts (though it is one of my favorites). Then you have Guru, which, as I already said, felt weak for me. Before this, you had Dil Se.., which underwhelmed me the first time I saw it, but as I thought more and more about it, it really stuck with me. But still, Dil Se.., after Iruvar? I just have a theory that Mani does not have that ingrained knowledge and instinct of Hindi that he has of Tamil. That ingrained knowledge and instinct is the Mani Ratnam touch for me. Remember Pyramid Natarajan in Alai Paayuthey? Remember Bharathiraja in AE? There aren't such characters in his Hindi movies. So, when Mani ends up making another Hindi movie, for me, I have low expectations, since I feel the Mani Ratnam touch is missing. To overcome that, he needs a powerful script with an entertaining story. That is what I want in Raavan. Will it be better in Tamil? I don't know, but I do think it would be better. (On a side note, Is it still called Asokavanam, or is it now Raavan even in Tamil? Last I remember was that there was some problem with calling it Asokavanam.) As for the Mani-ARR combo, I am not saying that other directors are better with ARR. All I'm saying is that we got Jodha Akbar and Delhi 6 with other directors but the last taste of the Mani-ARR combo was Guru, which was, I feel, not as good as the other 2 albums I mentioned. There was a lot of expectation, hype and hoopla that ARR was working with Gautham Menon, and that album turned out to be amazing. I want that magic back with ARR and Mani. I want a great movie with a great background score and a classic soundtrack. And finally, I love Aayutha Ezhuthu. I love the soundtrack and the movie. I revisit the movie at least once in 6 months. For me, that was a hat-rick of great Mani movies, following AP and KM. With three movies that I loved so much, it's no wonder that Guru pissed me off so much that I am wary of the next Mani Ratnam movie!! Another minor grouse I have is, after Mani worked with Suriya in AE (and I think he also dubbed for Abhishiek for the Tamil version), how can he cast anyone else?? For me, even an actor like Vikram, who is of such high caliber, is just miles behind the phenomenon that is Suriya! Feel free to disagree! Currently listening to: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Eagerly waiting for Ravanan, and also enthiran, VM had recently read few words out of the song, which are good. -- Truth is the only God Humanity is the only Religion Love is the only prayer

Producer and Director : Bharathi Raja Music : A R Rahman Lyrics: Vairamuthu Cast : Manoj, Riya Sen, Radhika and Revathy Pls Note: The revisit is too lengthy..my apologies for that..i couldnt make it short...coz my feelings for this album is infinitely large..!! The very name Taj Mahal evokes a lot of passion, romance and warmth! When films with such titles goes to the hands of someone like the Meastro A R Rahman, it gets all new definition and stands in its own glory and vigour! Like how the Emperor Shahjahan built the legendary monument for his lady love, ARR has built this glittering golden palace inside our hearts with his signature styled experimentations and mammoth innovations of new sounds which we never heard of before..! Bharathi Raja - A R Rahman duo may have given many timeless classics, but for me, Taj Mahal stands as tall as the Taj Mahal monument! Taj Mahal was originally planned to have a totally urbanite modern saga as its plot..but Bharathi Raja, with his proven rural,rustic themes, made a U turn and chose to make it as another village based story! He launched his own son Manoj in the lead role along with the very raw, young Riya Sen. Somehow the chemistry never worked between these two and the film's fate turned turtle at the box office..! Nevertheless, it could boast of possessing one of the world's best musicians magical scores..! Thiruppachhi Aruvaala | Palghat Sriram, Chandran, Clinton Cerejo, Kalpana Belonging to the league of Adrenalin pumping, high spirited, aggressive songs of ARR, Thiruppachhi Aruvaala ignites some of our deep buried anguishes. If you give a deep ear towards the instruments in the initial moments of the song, you feel shell shocked..! ARR dwells just with a basic beats rhythm coming out from that basic drums which you see in your everyday life on the streets in the hands of local help seekers! Giving company to these drum beats are the cool whistles blown by probably ARR himself! The singers ooze out aggressiveness in their full throated rendition. Palghat Sreeram is one of those able singers, whom this world should take notice of! He,along with Chandran,brings in the perfect attitude required for the song. Another unnoticed singer Kalpana haunts with her lower octaves lines, particularly in the lines where she makes fun of the male.Clinton Cerejo,provides able support in the second interlude with some wierd western lyrics!! ARR surprises us with some western vintage beats in the second interlude. Total Energy booster..!!! Adi Manja Kizhange | Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, Feju, Kanchana Short and Sweet All-Female , fun filled song!! ARR has constantly belted out the all-woman songs since his Kaadhalan days (Indirayo Ival Sundariyo) to the latest Gendha Phool. Adi Manja Kizhange offers some fun and happy moments both audically and visually! Again ARR goes with a single Rhythm pattern of basic drums with some vague female hummings interlaced. Hats off to all those aforementioned 4 harmony singers who have been with ARR since his Roja days..! It seems like ARR created such a song only to thank them for this long association. ! Kizhakke Nandavanam | Theni Kunjarammal, Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, Feju,Kanchana The same harmony singers continue their spell, but this time in the company of the most unusually sounding singer in ARR's career of songs ever...Theni Kunjarammal. .!!! Everytime this old woman croons for ARR, the song gets its own undefined charm!! She starts the song by calling out the names of many women Machhakanni, Mayyilkunju. .. which are absolutely hilarious to hear!!!ARR offers a very light hearted comic effect composition with some funny beats..!

i have clearly stated there its is not soulful in my definition. Lets put it this way. These are some of the soulful songs from ARR for me, u may compare them with Delhi 6 songs and see why i do not view them as what u do : 1.Anjali - Duet 2.Kannake Mai Azhagu - Pudhiya Mugam 3.En Uyir Tozhiye - KKS 4.Sonnalum - Kadhal Virus 5.Hawa Sun Hawa - Ada 6.Ennavale - Kadhalan 7.Marghali - Sangamam 8.Tu Muskura - Yuvvraaj 9.Hosanna - VTV 10.Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahan - Kisna 11.Kadhalenum - Kadhalar Dhinam and ofcource the list can go on, but these r the 1 strike my mind for now. For me, the songs of d6 r just not in the caliber of these songs. But im happy its a hit for ARR and it has hit the right chords for many, good for him and for u too.

agreed, new kind from ARR and ofcource in general. Masakalli had a very special twist in the song, something unusual but gripping and catchy. This song stands out clearly, no doubt. I do not wish 2 comments on other songs, as i dont want to hurt the feelings of the lovers of the song and create a huge war here. Already known enough there are some very 'well mannered' members around with extremely 'polite' manner to express their view. Anyhow, Yuvvraaj, VTV, ADA were albums of gold.

[arr] Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa has great chemistry
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya review Movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya Director Gautham Vasudev Menon Music A R Rahman Cast Silambarasan, Trisha, Kitty, Babu Antony, Ganesh By Moviebuzz Three cheers to Gautham Vasudev Menon, the big daddy of romance is back with a bang! His Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (VTV) is pure magic. This one works and grabs us where it matters; VTV is straight from the heart. 10 years after his candy floss Minnale, Menon's VTV is a far more mature Valentine. The film is backed by awe inspiring performance and precisely one thing going for it and that's the chemistry between its lead actors Silambarasan and Trisha, Manoj Paramahamsa's eye-catching frames, great screenplay and a stunning climax that is riveting. It is return of romance and will strike a chord with anyone who's loved and felt the unbearable anguish of loss, and knows the feeling that binds people in love together. Menon's creativity is completely home grown though it looks autobiographical. Karthik (Simbu) a mechanical engineer dreams of becoming a film director meets Jessy (Trisha) a Malayalee Christian girl, an IT professional and it is love at first sight. She lives on the top floor with her strict father (Babu Antony), mother and an aggressive brother while Karthik and his family have rented out the lower portion of the house. The first half is all about how he passionately woo her, follows her to Kerala, with his good friend Ganesh (Ganesh) a cameraman and his mentor who was instrumental in him becoming director KS Ravikumar's AD. Karthik's passionate wooing melts Jessy who finally succumbs to his ardent love. But her family and religion stands in the way of true love. The romantic track is engaging because it's innocent, simple and the director nails it right. Silence convey so much more than irreverent banter, and nowhere is this more evident than in the interactions between Karthik and Jessy, whose romance is conveyed through their conversations, eyes and longing expressions. The credit goes to its lead pair who invests sincerity and genuine enthusiasm while attacking their roles. However, VTV is not devoid of minor flaws. It has too many songs which are experimental and are non-structured that act as speed breaker. The pre climax song is unwanted, still Hosanna.. and Aaromale are the pick of the lot. The film at 2 hours and 35 minutes can be trimmed by at least 10 minutes in the second half to make it as racy and interesting as the first half. Count among its major plus points- the technical wizardry of the film. Manoj Paramahamsa's camera and his colour combination especially the night silhouette shots in the backwaters have a touch of class. Art director's Rajeevan's choice of interiors and mixing it with the exteriors are brilliant. Antony's editing without using any gimmicks makes the narration silken smooth. The film belongs to its lead actors. For sure, Simbu has come a long way from his finger wagging punch line spewing days. It's a joy to watch him in the climax scene when he speaks about his love by taking ordinary lines and delivering them so convincingly, and never miss a beat. His sheer agility in the romantic interludes, his composure, his dead pan humour and his tears in the climax are tangible and real, giving it a heart warming immediacy. As a woman torn by the dualities of her existence, Trisha looks good and delivers her career best performance in a knock-out role. Her costumes, body language and gait changes as the story shifts from Chennai to New York via the backwaters of Kerala. There is a super cameo by Ganesh (one of the producers of VTV), which is earthy and outrageous as the cameraman friend of the hero and raises huge chuckles and the bar of the film. The film is a must watch for those who cares for cinema of sense and substance. It stresses the fact that Tamil cinema has to break the mould if it aims to grab eyeballs. Gautham Menon has crafted a movie that will stay in our hearts for a long, long time. Verdict- Very Good http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review.php?id=14933091ctid=5cid=2429

Guys, so IR never give any supportive answer for ARR. As far as i know, IR has never praised any Music director, not even his own sons. I guess thats his character. We should not speak ill of IR. Let him be as he is. As long he is happy with what he is doing, its great. ARR on the other hand has a very periya manase. He has no problem in praising any music director, even if they r a newbie. He has openly said he is afraid whether he could match with Gautham-HJ combo for VTV. I mean, he is a maestro, but he still could think such!

ARR and IR are two different people and have talents of their own. Who is more superior? It comes down to one's taste and this reply is not about their musical skils. What I think Satheesh was saying was that when IR was asked about his thoughts on Rahman being awarded the Padmabushan as well, his response was 'ask Rahman' whilst it would have been nice to see him congratulate a fellow artist/musician. However, he may have not felt the need to at that point and perhaps may have even done it personally with Rahman but it would have been nice to have him say something in the lines of 'I am happy for him as well' or 'I am glad yet another musician has been appreciated for his efforts' because in the very same interview, he'd mentioned how the Padmabushan was not for recognition of his work but appreciation instead. Rahman on the otherhand when asked about IR's Padmabushan, came out with IR and I are family. Both being awarded the Padmabushan only doubles my joy'. IR, like you said is a great elder person precisely why it would have been nice to see him tap a talented growing child (read Rahman) on the back (not literally) and say 'well done to you too mate!'.
