SONY BMG launches the music of GURU
Bollywood Trade News Network

SONY BMG launches the music of GURUSony BMG is proud to present its
latest venture GURU, a project that showcases the work of a stupendous
trio - Mani Ratnam, Gulzar and A R Rahman. GURU is presented by one of
the most respected banners in the country - Madras Talkies. More than
8 years after the magical DIL SE', this ensemble returns with one of
the most anticipated films of this year. GURU's music is composed by A
R Rahman and the songs have been penned by Gulzar. Music fans all over
have been definitely looking forward to these three masters
re-uniting. In GURU, their rich collaboration promises to create a
summum bonum of the classic and the contemporary.

The concept of GURU has been summarized in three words- 'Villager.
Visionary, Winner'. The cast of this film boasts the likes of Abhishek
Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Mithun Chakravarty, Madhavan and Vidya Balan.

There are 7 enthralling tracks in GURU, which feature some of the best
voices in the industry today - Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Hariharan,
Shreya Ghoshal, Chitra, Madhushree, A R Rahman and Bappi Lahiri.

Mani Ratnam and A R Rahman's celebrated association, which commenced
with the trend setting ROJA, has been path breaking, creating landmark
after landmark on the map of music in Indian Cinema. Says Mani Ratnam,
"A R Rahman loves working laterally. You tell him the situation is of
a parting but you would like a love song, which is bustling, his eyes
will light up. He loves to work against the grain and on a level that
compliments the film and not just merely underlines it. A R is a
director's dream and nightmare. Dream because he will give you much
more time than you ask for and nightmare because he will not be
satisfied with the music even if you are. A perfectionist" .

SONY BMG launches the music of GURUShedding light on their
partnership, A R Rahman explains, "In these past fifteen years Mani
and I have gone through more or less everything in this journey
through film and music. Each time, more than us, people are looking
forward to what these guys are going to do. That is a challenge. For
me, when I look at a scene each time I'm wondering what I can do, what
can I do differently. And I'm sure Mani feels the same way when he
hears my music. And this whole film is about that - interpreting it -
with the same soul but with a different approach".

Commenting at the launch, Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director,
Sony BMG Entertainment (India) Pvt. Ltd. Said, "Mani Ratnam, A R
Rahman and Gulzar - the 3 modern day masters working together is
something that is eagerly anticipated by all. Over the years, they
have provided us with memorable and trend setting hits. We at SONY BMG
are privileged and confident that GURU is one more album that every
music lover will enjoy and treasure in this and the years to come."

[vijayr]

ajay, thanks for the links. seeing Mani on video after a long time. dont remember seeing an interview of him in a long time. His voice somehow sounds much younger than himself. He seems to be politely bitter about Thamizh audience :-)

[thamizhvaanan]

He seems to be politely bitter about Thamizh audience Why? :huh:

[vijayr]

I dont know,maybe he just said it in jest (when asked whether thamizh audiences will miss him for a long time he said with a smile that maybe they are glad that he isnt around). But if he is serious you cant blame him. what was the last movie of his that was a superhit in Tamil? Have to go back all the way to Bombay I guess. (alaipaayudhe was borderline)

Tats true,vijay. My cousin Azhagamperumal was an one time associate of MR. After the BO failure of KM and AE Mani sir had expressed his displeasure to make tamil films it seems. AP told me this long back. Only after that he started Guru.

[jaiganes]

chee chee indha pazham pulikkum

[ajaybaskar]

:D :D :D

[thamizhvaanan]

Both his bilinguals, Dil Se and Yuva were terrible flops in Bollywood. Only they ran well (comparitively) in TN, mainly because of his brandname downsouth. I heard he even made significant profits in AE, with film and music rights. I think he shud have no reasons to grudge abt Tamil audience.

[vijayr]

Thats why I am surprised that he commands as much as respect as he does from Bollywood, which usually doesnt give a damn about artistes from down South.On what basis do Abhisek/Ash fall head over heels to give bulk dates to "Mani sir"

[thamizhvaanan]

Not only that, for Yuva, all the stars agreed to act for a subsidised pay compared to their industry standard :D .

I listened to the song Dam Dara Dam - It's too good !

Guru 2nd Trailer featuring "Dum Dera Dum Dera Mast" song which ARR hummed at the music launch function

The name of the song is "Tere Bina" and is sung by AR Rahman and Chinmayee with additional voices from Murtaza & Qadir. Here is the link.

http://rapidshare.com/files/2645109/Guru_-_Tere_Bina_Trailer.avi

I instantly liked the "Dum Dera" tune when ARR hummed it at the music launch function. Now after watching this trailer, I can confidently say this song might actual turn out to be the next "Taal Se Taal".

And rajasaranam, I remember you saying you instantly liked the Dum Dera humming. Watch this trailer and you will fall in love with it.

[Ramakrishna]

Thank u sir :D

[Guess_Me]

That was very fast RK :)

Do post your comments too

[Ramakrishna]

This song really sounds promising. Got to hear the full song

Damn.. I thought ARR himself will sing the dumdera bit. But looks like its the chorus. Its very catchy. Cant wait to listen to the whole track :)

Listen to the Aishwarya Rai track it's even better then this song.

[rajasaranam]

And rajasaranam, I remember you saying you instantly liked the Dum Dera humming. Watch this trailer and you will fall in love with it.

:oops: Oops sorry I've lost the love i had :cry: . Earlier the humming had no flavor of north and it was great to listen to. Somehow iam averted to heavy northie flavor in music. Dont know exactly when i created this aversion but still i like the 60's, 70's 80's and early 90's compositions in Hindi.
I think it is ARR who had found the roots of north indian music and is delivering them in the best form like what IR did for the south indian music. Offlate i find ARR is getting more deeper into the music of north. it should've happened post 2000's probably after lagaan cos I like the hindi albums of ARR pre 2000 and also the songs post 2000 which doesnt have heavy northie flavor :)
Let me try listening to the complete song when released and come back! Hope he does stick on to what he said in the interview it moves on to some symphonic/opera kind of music. where i will love it :)

[Guess_Me]

Oh, you surprised me RS. But what you said is partially true. I feel if ARR himself had sang the "Dum Dera" bit, it would have had more of a South feel. But since Murtaza rendered it in his typical Qawwali style, it has North written all over it.

But I feel the Northies are going to love this track. So are we.

[tscii:110872093b]Bappi Lahri: The Rockstar Rocks Again
Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, November 07, 2006]

He has had been a butt of many a joke because of his flashy gold jewellery and for being ‘inspired’ by tunes from English pop tunes, but still you just can’t ignore Bappi Lahri. The man with a sweet voice and a fantastic music sense lofted into the public imagination once again recently as he was one of the three celebrity judges of the hugely popular ‘L’il Champs’ reality television show. What’s heartening to note is that Bappi Da is getting back to the big league in a different avatar. After having sung the tapori number ‘Mumbai Nagaria’ in ‘Taxi Number 9 2 11’ for composer duo Vishal-Shekhar, the original rockstar is gonna be heard in the soundtrack of Mani Rathnam’s ‘Guru’ where he has sang an A R Rahman beauty.
Bappi Lahri is best remembered for his Kishore Kumar number ‘Chalte Chalte Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rakhna….Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna…’ It is one of Kishore’s best. ‘Disco Dancer’, ‘Yaad Aa Raha Hai Tera Pyaar’, ‘Namak Halal, ‘Sharaabi’…The list of hits from Bappi Lahri factory is a long one. ‘Kaliyon Ka Chaman Ye Kehta Hai….’…Heard this one…Of course you have…Meghna Naidu sprang into prominence with the video of this remix…But very few know that the original composer of this song is Bappi Da….He also won a court case against a US rap band which had used the loop of the original song in one of their experimental numbers.
It’s good to find Bappi Lahri back in action. Both as a composer as well as a singer. It was heartening to note how compassionately he handled the kids while giving them tips. ‘L’il Champs’ has surely helped him rise in the public eye both as a fine music man as well as a good human being. Looking forward to hearing more from Bappi Lahri in the future…[/tscii:110872093b]

MR first film in Kannada had great songs

[aruvi]

[tscii:1f8d68f44e]Pagal Nilavu and Idhaya Kovil had some great songs.

Regarding Guru, I have little hope that it will be a blockbuster soundtrack. Already, looking at the track lists, it seems a bit too western classical. ARR/MR haven't had a huge blockbuster album in some years.

• Alaipayuthey (2000)
• Kannathil Muthamittal (2002)
• Aayitha Ezhuthu (2004)
• Yuva (2004)

None of these albums had the appeal and sensation that the previous ones created. To top that, RDB attracted people more after the film released and became a sensational hit. IMO, ARR is trying very hard to incorporate world music into his songs, that he is missing out on native touch.

On the other hand, I can't but hope that Guru will prove me wrong, and be a great album, in the lines of Bombay or Taal. [/tscii:1f8d68f44e]

• Dil Se (1998)


None of these albums had the appeal and sensation that the previous ones created.

Keeping aside when each individual started listening to music, Alai Payudey's critical review was dull compared to others. A lot of people felt if was pale after a superhit Dil Se. And yes, it was popular then, but it's popularity didn't match the craze of their previous albums together. That is the point. I would say Alaipayudey songs can be grouped with Kadhal Desam. In terms of initial popularity. [/tscii:19ccab681b]

Manirathnam is still a Madras man
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 11, 2006]


Close on the heels of completing Abhishek Bachchan – Aishwarya starrer Guru, Manirathnam would wield the megaphone for another Bollywood movie titled Lajjo. The movie would star Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles.

Now with Manirathnam venturing to do back-to-back Hindi movies, his fans in Tamilnadu are obviously upset.

Adding to it, there were reports that the director had bid bye to Tamil.

However Manirathnam said, 'Both my scripts – Guru and Lajjo are more suited for Hindi audience. Hence I am doing them in Bollywood. I am keen to do a Tamil movie and hopefully by next year, I would do one. Hope my fans like my films and for them I feel language is no barrier', he adds.

hi sonia, welcome to the hub.....one more ARR fan...... :D

ARR's pic in the avatar is one of the best i have seen......wat a smile........i always call him the smiling assasin.......now u all know y...... :D

wikipedia says :


Guru is a forthcoming Hindi film to be directed by Mani Ratnam. It stars Abhishek Bachchan ,Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan (as the antagonist and Vidya Balan in pivotal roles. The movie also stars Mithun Chakraborty in a supporting role and Mallika Sherawat in a cameo role. The movie will also be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. The film's score and soundtrack will be composed by A. R. Rahman

so hope for d best... :D

no sonia....MR has clearly stated he wont dubb this movie in tamil as the story wont suit the tamil audience...... but lets see.... who knows....rite ;)

When do the CDs come out? Some say 12th. Some say 13th and 16th and 18th are the other dates. Whats the exact date of CD release?

[Music4Ever]

Tera Bina looks instantly catchy and very promising. ARR's 7-1/2 year Saturn has probably come to an end (If his birthday is Jan 6, 1966, that is. I think his moon sign is Gemini.) and with it the inordinate delays will be a thing of the past. During this period ARR had to work hard and could not reap much success, which is essentially what Saturn will do to a native suffering from its ill effects. So they say. Hopefully Guru will be a blockbuster music album irrespective of the movie's fate at the box office. It may be noted that three or four previous Abishek--Aish movies were flops.

Guru - Nayagan Part-II Nov 11, 2006


Ace director Maniratnam marked his name in the annals of Tamil Cinema History with Nayagan.Nayagan still remains his best effort till date and is probably the best gangster movie ever to be made in Indian cinema.Testimony to the fact is its selection as one of the top 100 movies in world cinema by the renowned TIMES magazine.So it wouldn’t surprise us if Mani tries to recreate the Nayagan magic again in silverscreen.And he maybe doing just that with his upcoming GURU. Both movies bear several striking similarities.Both are based on real life personalities.Nayagan was of course based on the life history of Varadaraja Mudaliar,a notorious Mumbai Gangster.Guru,on the other hand,chronicles the life and times of Dhirubai Ambani,the founder of the Reliance group of Industries.
Both are rags-to-riches stories,which Indian audiences lap up,whenever presented in a convincing manner.Another resemblance lies in the way both these personalities were perceived by the public.Varadaraja Mudaliar and Ambani are looked upon as saviours by some,and as unscrupulous by others.

The protagonists of both stories are not heroes who could strike down 50 opponents with their physical might,Instead they were strong willed men who braved hostility and achieved glory by master-minding their opppostion’s downfall.
Both movies are set in Mumbai,Maniratnam’s favourite city. Velu Naicker’s characterization and its portrayal by Kamal Haasan played a big role in Nayagan’s success.If the central role in Guru has the same force and if Abhishek could immortalize his role like Kamal’s Velu Naicker,Maniratnam may well have a winner in his hands with Guru..

Mani,an MBA graduate himself,should be at relative ease filming the life of India’s greatest entrepreneur.We hope Guru lives up to its billing and enthralls Bollywood & Kollywood audiences alike,as its predecessor Nayagan did,20 years back.

Barso Re sounds very diff....esp the part " Mitta hai kosa hai,barishka kosa hai,Kosa hai kosa hai..." very very weird & diff...

sorry for the bad hindi lyric.... :P :P...

Dinesh, GURU audio is releasing in Malaysia even b4 its indian release. I think its on 15th nov.

[ajaybaskar]

Last nite, in E 360(CNN-IBN), there was a 10 min footage about Guru. Bachchan clarified that guru was not inspired by Ambani alone but by many other gr8 lives. ARR sang a few lines of Dum Tara..

Hope u guys enjoyed it...

hi sonia, welcome to the hub.....one more ARR fan...... :D

ARR's pic in the avatar is one of the best i have seen......wat a smile........i always call him the smiling assasin.......now u all know y...... :D



Thanks Maddy. :)

Ya I too love the pic, hee we sould open a topic to share ARR's photos! If there isn't already one!

Ramakrishna, according to Mid-day, the CD release is fixed for 18 nov!

I don't understand why MR doesn't want guru to be dubded in tamil! It's unfair for his tamil fans! I taught he belongs to the few directors who do movie by intrest for the topic and not to suit the audience! I personaly don't care about Ambani's achievement, all i want is to watch MR's direction, the scenario, Sujatha's dialogue and the song picturization, in tamil!

Once again thank u guessme :D

[Ramakrishna]

Ey Hairathe song sounds superb and different. Rahman's usual midas touch can be felt with this song.

Mayya song sounds promising but got to listen to the full song to judge this one correctly.

[Ramakrishna]

Mayya song is catchy. but i am not sure how the rest of this may turn out.

But Ey Hairathe, Victory and classic written all over it. I am damn sure this song wud be mindblowing.

[Ramakrishna]

The good thing about these songs are that they sound good at the first listening itself. Teasers ke ippdinaa full songs kettaaa :2thumbsup:

[tscii:c4c1a22706]You work mostly with A.R.Rahman
Yes, but I sing for others too. I enjoy singing for A.R.Rahman. He experiments very well with
the songs he asks me to sing. I believe his songs are very different. I really thank God and
A.R.Rahman whenever he calls me to sing for him and we have been giving good songs together so
far.

You are still known as the Neem Neem girl.
‘Kabhi Neem Neem’ became a superhit and hence I came in the lime light. But earlier also I sang
songs which were hits like ‘Kuch Na Kaho’ and ‘Maahi Ve’. But yes, ‘Kabhi Neem’ was a different
song. I sang for Rani and my voice suited her perfectly.

Are you singing in the film Guru?
Yes. I am. The song is called Baazi Laga. It is a very foot tapping number. It is an item song.
I am looking forward to it.

Is this the same song in which Mallika Sherawat does an item number?
I do not know about that. But this song is not on Aishwarya, I can say that. Rest you have to
wait and watch. That is all I can tell you.

hmmm .. where is the ONE SONG which is gonna bring the crowds to the theatre!!!!! ?????

Cant make anything out from the clips.... if its gonna be like Iruvar .. it better have something in the quality of 'Narumugiye' .... or 'Hello Mr."

Nuthing seems like 'sensational' .. Tera Bina is the only bet...

enna, congress party press release madhiri munnukku purana arikkai vidareenga??? :lol: .......anyways, keep ur negative points coming in sloshed........u r a necessary ingredient in this thread...... 8-) ......esp when ppl. like RS appreciate these songs, we feel like flying, so u need to bring us back to earth...... :D

man, tera bina and ey hairathe are too good......running continously on my system.....also, i have made them my ringtone.......many ppl. in office are like "hey which song is that".......

[sloshed]

I wouldnt know about the congress party... but yeah from the One min clips... nuthing seems to have hit the jackpot.... I will def be there to appreciate the songs.. Offcourse Mani-ARR is always be dear to me.. or to rip them off.. if they even fail to deliver 50% of what they are capable.....

And please I think we had enuf (atleast me) .. of what people in your office think.... Already taking a cue from you .. Dinesh and folks have started on what his chinese/malay/french friends think!!! Now is it necessary to do this!! ... lets see what the general public in India thinks.. I think they are the one who makes/breaks people...!!
Ey hairathey .... My only hope is Mani picturizations.. will keep the audience from smoke break .... I even wonder if this will be picturized as a whole length song...

Tera Bina .. I agree... its good.... but somehow I miss the impact of Mani-ARR combo... i dont know about others.. AE was a smasher... all the songs rocked.... But the I understand its a period film.... but still its Mani!!!!

[aruvi]

Athuvum sarithaan:-)

oh , my office frnds are not general Indians is it??? they are some special kind of species who always listen to watever Maddy plays?? pleaaaasssseeeee........


Ey hairathey .... My only hope is Mani picturizations.. will keep the audience from smoke break .... I even wonder if this will be picturized as a whole length song...

OMG, u r hoping that this song will not be picturised??


Tera Bina .. I agree... its good.... but somehow I miss the impact of Mani-ARR combo... i dont know about others.. AE was a smasher... all the songs rocked.... But the I understand its a period film.... but still its Mani!!!!

after 2 years u will say Guru rocked but i'm really doubtful abt Lajjo..... :lol: .....

sloshed, enna problem, Hj threadla naanga vandhadha??? we visit there once in a blue moon day.........his sainikoodu again opened the "Harris-copies-ARR" pandora box........(infact it was a vijay fan who started that).........we couldnt help it......

but ur criticism of ARR is highly unfair and u just want to criticise him to see us get irritated.......vendam, nalla illa........

just wait and watch Guru's fate ........Swades/KKS madhiri albums dustbinla poradha paarthu paarthu naanga ellam mentally strong-a dhaan irukkom......

[sloshed]

Maddy,

You got me wrong... where is the criticism here??? I never mentioned bad about anything ...... Probably I will after hearing the full length songs and if it doesnt sound good/match the expectations.

And please i care two hoots about you visiting HJ's threads .. I read all your comments some i liked it ..some I didnt.. but thats what ths forum is all about.... In fact HJ deserves thrashing for 'Sainikudu' .... Had I not been out of country I would have trashed him then...

"Critisim of ARR highly Unfair" - now this is unfair... Where did I critise ARR.???.. having seen Mani all through these years... and seen the way he picturised AE songs... I cant help but feel that Ey hairathey will be picturised in full...

I iwll be frank here .. I have no expectations about Guru the movie.. I still feel this is not the kind of movie that he should be doing to get commercial success... but then Mani doesnt have to prove anything anymore.... to an extent you can also say people of TN doesnt deserve Mani...they have been caught in hero worship ..which will take them years to come out off.....

As far as Swades is concerned the 'snail pace' killed it.. and for KKS... two people should be hung for that ...
1.BR_a - taking the movie.....
2.BR_a - for wasting the songs....

and to an extent ARR should be kicked in the back for delivering those songs... to quote from you .. he should have only given what the movie deserved...!!!
"Theekuruvi song picturized in Switzerland!!!"
- "Preposterous MR. Watson!!"

[lancelot]

wats with all this desgretion guys? one listens to the mini clips an says the album sucks.. come onnn how can you say that after a preview.
and the other says that the album rocks after listening to the mini clips.. even this i dont think is possible.
honestly even i tot that the album sound good frm the mini clips. but you cant be sure till the album is out.

lets wait and listen to the full album.

note 2 points : mani-ARR normaly never dissapoint. i dont think they will do it with Guru. :D
other, you have to listen to the album atlest 10 times before commenting. thats wat ill do, coz by now we all know that an ARR song needs repeated listening for brains like ours to know the full value of his music. :lol:

hehe
:D

[Guess_Me]

The MP3s have hit the net

[Guess_Me]

Just now finished listening to the whole soundtrack.

What an album it is......Can't pick out my favorites. My least preferred song cud be "Ek Lo Ek Muft" though it has some beautiful interludes.

Ay Hairathen is wonderful. Tere Bina is magical. Barso Re is rocking. Jaage Hain can bring tears (Chithra is so sweet). Mayya is experimental. Baazi Lagaa is for the masses.

All in all only one word for this period masterpiece - BRILLIANT!!!

And whats even better is this review is after the first listening (barring those samples)

Update:

Baazi Lagaa is catching up. Reminds me of "Hum Rahi Jab Ho Mastana" from Pukar, particularly with Udit Narayanan singing.

[Movies]

Where are u listening to 'em from?

[Guess_Me]

The "usual" sites have the songs for download. And since it is an ARR album, even some tamil mp3 sites are hosting it.

My CD will reach tomorrow. Till then its only MP3.

[Movies]

hmm..

Sorry Vijay and sorry thineshan. I woke up today and has been listening to Guru songs for such long hours that I even forgot to have my breakfast. Before I saw thineshan's message, I left for the table. Now only I came back and has PMmed all the guys who requested.

I saw your PM, Thanks. It makes no sense that you would PM them but not post it here due to privacy issues. , You could have mentioned earlier that you didnt want to post it here, it would have saved everyone the trouble of waiting. Iam not mentioning that link here(is that your private space?) since you dont want to. Continue your PMs :-)

There are lots of people here who just come and read without taking part in discussions. I dont want to share it with them. Whoever I am PMming, I know they will buy the retail discs and this downloading stuff is just bcoz they cant wait till it gets shipped to their country.

[vijayr]

Guess_me, if the songs are already out there, they are already out there. You are not achieving anything by not posting the links. You are just delaying the inevitable for a few ppl :-) By tomorrow, ppl would have figured out the sites and would have D/Led the songs

[Guess_Me]

I know that vijay. But I dont want to be instrumental in that. Let them find it on their own.

i too found the links .. but have ordered my copy from planet m tomm... anyways this movie is worth a mention in rahman's hits list.. the songs r out of the world ... but listen atleast thrice bfore commenting

Now we can expect more reviews pouring in from all directions.

[ajaybaskar]

Hello ,

I am usually a silent reader in this group , but for the first time i decided to send out a review of the songs of guru in the group. enough of the intro , so let me start with the summary of the album.


Summary:

A.R.Rahman, the man has grown from a vibrant young musical genius in Roja to a musical god in Guru. The songs in my perspective are some of the best ARR has ever composed, why ??, it is truly original for starters(no mix or hint of prev tunes). The usage of a wide variety of instruments is growing to a considerable extent in Rahman's tunes, hope he keeps introducing more groundbreaking tunes and instruments not used in repetitive Indian film music.

Song 1-

Jage Hain - I personally was looking forward to hear this song. It starts of with a very soft but tuned recite of the lyrics by Chitra with some orchestra violin and strong base cello in the background. ARR's voice slowly blends in with the cello , i should say the first recite of the lyrics by ARR is as soft as one can get after which he sings the same lyrics in a high pitch , the madras chorus group pitches in with thier recitation. Overall for me this is the highlight of the album, it sets the right tone for the movie and a very inspiring usage of the orchestra skills.

Song 2-

Tere Bina - The humming of :Dhum dara Dhum Dara" was already in our lips even before the album came out. The music has got some wonderful lyrics and gets you calm after the riveting Jage Hain song. Special mention to Chinmayee , my first impression when i heard her peice in this song was " Wow, what a voice to have". This is the first time i heard her and trust me her voice has really worked wonders with ARR's for this song. Another special mention is that ARR has dedicated this song to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - in the album cover.

Song 3-

Ek Harirathey - A top class blend of Ghazal. The catchy

" Dham Dara DHam Dara" is once again thrown into this song for the kicks of it. . Hariharan's voice and pitch sounds like magic. Special mention about Prasad on the tabla , really good.

Song 4

Ek Lo Ek Muft- Well, let me be frank about this song, i think has not done justice to the amount of hype it created. Having said that, let me keep me mind that the director of this film is a guy capable of projecting a donkey like a horse on the big screen, the visuals might justify this song. Let us wait and see.

Song 5

Bazi Laga- A short description of this song

Kind of fast paced, good tune, I guess having Mallika Sherawat dance for this would justify the songs pace and tune. But a good song to listen to it .


Song 6

Barso Re- A great rendition of flute to start of with . Since we know that this is a song picturized on Aishwarya in rain , the beat might just give your foot a little exercise with the foot tapping you would do while listening to this.

Well there you have it, my humble on this album. Before i stop let me tell you my review is only my humble opinion . I have not hyped the songs even to a little extent.

Thanks

Looks like the reviewer confused Baazi Lagaa for Mayya. Mayya is the one for Mallika Sherawat and that song is missing in the review.

[rajasaranam]

Listening to 'Barso Re' The song start and tune sound too south Indian and the whole song would make good in Tamil too :) Iam loving this song. The rhythmic percussion accompanying would make even a physically challenged to stand up and dance.

Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Rajaaaa...

Konjum Konjum Konjum Konjum Konjum Puraave...
Does this ring a bell somewhere! listen to 'Baazi lagaa' from Guru. Even the 'Aiyee aiyee yo' is from an old song which iam not able point right now. it seems this song is mixture many old songs :)
Kurukku Siruthavalae from 'Muthalvan' is being reworked in the charanams of 'tere bina'.Even the beats are too similar
'Ek Lo Ek muft' is definitely inspired too, cant point it right now.
the dialogues from Arabic 'Mayya' has the same ideas from his own Satrangi Re/ Enuyire of Dilse.
'Ay hairathe' is good rahmanic interpretation of 'Ghazal' genre.
'Jaage Hain' is a good composition but will not create an interest as standalone. It will be good with the visuals.
'Barso Re' is the best of the album which can be heard as a standalone song though it has the same arrangements/patterns beaten to death by many composers around.
On the whole the album disappoints in whole without anything new init failing to the hype generated over it. but can be appreciated for the neat packaging of the songs making it a listenable album. Definitely not a passable one!

ennayya paattellam chappunnu irukku.......oru kick-e illa :cry: :cry: :cry:

[dinesh2002]

agreed...one the 1st & second listenin...im tottaly dissapointed !! so many SOK influence too.... esp in Mayya starting sounds so much like Maaricham.....

[dinesh2002]

Mayya Mayya sounds so much like Raasaiya - Mangal Pandey...... the Bappi Lahiri song is the worse in the album... this is all from 1st & 2nd listening... :hammer:

[billrafeek]

OMG!!! the songs r rockin!!! specially Maya Maya song....

[billrafeek]

Even though i listen only one time, i mean now its goin 2nd time Maya Maya and Baazi Lage both out of the world... come on guys this s very nice album...

[arsaregama]

that happens i told u ppl not to comment bfore hearing it at least three times .. why do u ppl spoil others interest ...if u think u are bter reviewers do it after some 5 hearings.....if u can create some new sound without inspiration go and sit with mani for his next movie ....rahman rocks ...its true.. guru is only for a normal listener not for music scientist testing the origin...so shut it...!!!

[ajaybaskar]

Well said, friend

[ajaybaskar]

The songs wud suit the movie for sure

[dinesh2002]

yo bro....we r ARR fans...not ARR jaldra... :notworthy:

[dinesh2002]

Bazi Laga & Barso re is very catchy...... Tera Bina & Ay Hairathe r typical ARR-MR,divine tunes.... :D

[MADDY]

yenna Dinesh, ippave maatram theriyudhu........wat disappoints me is there are no new sounds......if ARR is not giving new sounds then he should atleast stick to some simple rythms or patterns/..........idhuvum illama, adhuvum illama, rendukkum madhiyil maatikkittu muzhika padathu......

neways still listening to it in a dabba speaker....will listen to it in good system when i get to office.... :lol:

exactly Maddy....i dunno y isnt people telling this simple thing to ARR.... the thing is, these 4 songs r the 1 im confartable with...couldnt belive the other songs r under the ARR-MR combo... probably it would suit the movie as Ajay said... but i really dun dare to even look back at previous albums from the gigantic combo & to compare with it with Guru...it will make me fear more... :shock:

Bappi Lahiri song is soo boring... something like Majja Majja,the full stop in a complete album.... [IMO]..... though it sounds good in certain time,it def didint atrack ANY normal listeners.... ARR is too into this experimenting thing.... his music needs to reach the MAKKALS.... which is def lacking in this past few years... lets see how GURU is gonna turn out with the Hindi Audience...

btw...any news on GURU dubbing into tamil ???

*** Barso Re Megha has a pleasantly catchy starting line, chorus and beats.

It has a more Rajasthani than Gujju flavour in the pallavi and a South Indian

flavor in the charanams. I enjoyed the charanam's unpredictable progression

very much. However, considering it's a period film, and assuming this song

comes in the 50's, with a young Aishwarya dancing in the rain, the flavour of

the preiod is definitely missing. It sounds more 90's. Nevertheless, this song

would definitely become popular, especially in nexy year's Navratri dandiyas.

*** Maiya Maiya: It starts off with a neat prelude: "Tu Neel Samandar Hai...

Main Ret ka Saahil Hoon." (You are the blue ocean (whilst) I'm the sand

wave)
The arabic theme is unmistakable. Sounds great overall, with the lead singer

Maryam's voice bringing in the right flavor. However the female chorus that

comes in the first half could have been treated differently or avoided

completely, as it is exactly like the chorus in Dil Se's "Sat Rangi Re (Ishq Par

Zor Nahin... line)". Ditto is another male voice that renders an alaap, which is

quite like ARR's solo song in the Hindi film, "Saathiya". This "Item Number" is

likely to get a lot of attention, not just for its new sound but also because of

the Mallika factor.

*** Aye Hairathein
A Lovely composition.
We get to hear Hariharan's mellifluous voice after a long time. I loved the

'pause' used by ARR in the composition just after the words 'Vat' and 'Mat',

which IR too has used effectively in the past in many compositions.

The orchestration is smooth, with a rich feel brought in by the strings and the

tabla beats brining in a Qawwali feel. Someone like Chinmayee would have

elevated this song to greater heights. Alka Yagnik with her 'flat' rendition does

not do justice to this composition.

*** Ek Lo Aur Ek Muft
This looks like a situational song, announcing the birth of twins to the lead

couple (a la Bombay's Halla Gulla song). I was surprised by Chitra's rendition... very a-typical... the effortless attitude she brings in to the song is plain amazing! (I hope it's the same KS Chitra and not some North Indian singer)?

In spite of many positives, why is that I get a feel that it's not in the same league as some of ARR-Mani combos like Dil Se, Roja and Thiruda Thiruda?

[thineshan54321]

Hey guess me, thanks for the links, i just woke up. Thanks vijay for understanding how i feel. I have to go to school now so i cant listen to it now, :roll: :cry: . When i come back its guru night. BTW i am also going to buy the CD on my way. Please everyone go buy the CD.

[rayan36]

i agree with billrafek, maaya maya n baazi laga are awesome.

Maaya maaya starts like maricham but later changes in its real mood. arabian style rendition, some saranam is like in en uyire(UYIRE) a typical hindi song definitely will suit the northers with Malika in it for sure

Baazi laga is another dance number, very latin ( i liked it), Udit Narayanan n Sadhana has done their part well, somehow the chorus sounded as the same as Maaya maaya at some points

AFTER all the hype and hoopia of Baapi singing for ARR :cry2: waste, maybe it suits the script. other songs have to wait, i'm stuck with these two :mrgreen:

[SVN]

I left out the Baazi Laga song.
It's again a situational number. Has an early 80's Shankar Ganesh song feel to it. May be it was the director's requirement.. Except for the chord change towards the end, there's nothing novel about this song. Strictly OK.

Tera Bina is a shameless rip from Fateh Ali Khan.....i did not expect music wizard to stoop so low.....this album my first impression is failure!

[Ramakrishna]

Listening to Tera Bina song. great song.

[rayan36]

Tera Bina is a shameless rip from Fateh Ali Khan.....i did not expect music wizard to stoop so low.....this album my first impression is failure!

At some point ARR did said he dedicated the song to Fateh Ali Khan. It was intended :wink:

[Ramakrishna]

Ay Hairathe - Superb stuff

These two songs Tere Bina and Ay Hairathe captured my attentiom on the first listening itself. Got to check out other songs.

[Guess_Me]

Yes it is printed in the CD inlay

[rajasaranam]

Ay Hairathe is super stuff, neat rendering by Hariharan But ARR could've avoided that 'Dum dumdera' bit in this song it takes away the feel of a ghazal song. Is this First Ghazal song by ARR ? I know he has done Qawwali but not a typical ghazal AFAIK 8-)
Even Repeated listenings [more than 5 times] have not stirred up an interest into other songs other than Barso re and Ay hairathe :(

[inetk]

100 words, as usual, on Guru's music!

Song 1 - Barso Re

hehe
:D

[Ramakrishna]

Tere Bina song is good but ARR's voice is literally not audible at normal volume. If i keep the volume in full only i am able to hear ARR and Chinmayee voice and lyrics. Tune is good.

[Ramakrishna]

Till now i have been repeatedly listening to only Tere Bina and Ay Hairathe. Not listened to other songs. These two are mindblowing.

[kb]

bappi lahiri song is gud.. after three listenings... its kinda of situational were abhishek is drunk with his partner..

so will be gud in the screen..little humour in this song

[lancelot]

Song 2 - Tere Bina
simply mindblowing. what an amazing song. ARR an chinmai's voice is just beautiful

hehe
:D

[lancelot]

Song 3 - Ek Lo Ek Muft
hmmm am not realy sure what to say about this. may be it needs a touch of Manirathnam touch. lets wait an see

hehe
:D

[lancelot]

Song 4 - Mayya
good stuff. nice song... but not my kind of music.. but will listen to it more... may be ill like it after awhile

hehe
:D

[Ramakrishna]

Baazi Laga - What an amazing foot tapping number. I am really hooked on to this one too.

So far three great songs i have heard.

[lancelot]

Song 5 - Ay Hairathe
pick of the album. amazing music with some amazing singing. hariharan is mindblowing.

:D

[lancelot]

Song 6 - Baazi Laga

amazing music. this just reminds me of the Bombay theam. but with lyrics.
super o super

will give full review of the album after listening alot more...
i have a feeling this album is going to rock...

hehe
:D

[Ramakrishna]

Listened to Jaage Hain now. Scintillating is the least expressive word i can use for this song, there is something more to this song.

So far Guru album has been great for me :D

[Nerd]

Too many negative reviews :shock:

Guys please keep in mind that its a PERIOD film and the music should go well with it. Having said that the songs are better than mangal pandey, which wasnt bad either :thumbsup:

Except the bappi lahiri song all the others are outstanding and would get better. The songs in fact have raised the expectations for the movie :thumbsup:

[Ramakrishna]

I am listening to Ek lo Ek Muft song. I am liking this song. It is surprising that nobody likes this song. it is a nice attempt. :D

The lyrics are entertaining. if u can understand them, this song will be a decent experience.

[MADDY]

RamaKrishna & Lancelot........enna idhu u guys have hijacked this thread literally..... :lol:

hmm, i have just listened to tere bina some 30 times in 2 hrs just to find out what i'm not liking in it........ :lol: ........surely for once, i felt ARR shuldnt have sung a song........esp the way he has killed Hindi words :oops: .....i can now understand y ppl. get irritated when Udit sings in tamil.......apart from that, song is mesmerising......but still i'm finding faults.......please wish me luck........ :lol:

( is it a copy of Nursat's song???? if it is then ARR shuldnt get any credit :cry: )

[popeye11]

Very Good Album .. All songs are fantastic
My Pick are Ay Hairathe and Tere Bina

[baba88]

If anybody couldn't get the cd he can download the songs at www.Tamilmp3tracks.com

I don't wanna spoil A.R.Rahman's Business. This is only an Information for people who live in Europe or in America. They can't get the cd easily. True A.R.Rahman go and buy the CD.

[Surya]

Thank You Rajasaranam for the links! :thumbsup: :D

So far I've heard all the songs once so far...

1.) Barso Re - So far, I think it's alright, but I can tell that this is one of those songs that I'm going to be addicted to soon...8-) :clap:

I really like the Southern Touch that ARR has given to it! 8-)

2.) Tere Bina - The "Dham Dhare Dham Dhare Mastu Mastu" is Enough to get one to be Obcessed with this song! :thumbsup: It's amazing!!

3.) El Lo Ek Muft - .....eh......I don't like this song much at all...I'll stop @ that.

4.) Mayya Mayya - Nice! 8-) Reminds me of some work of ARR before....Can't pinpoint which song yet...Trying to think of it...but who cares? The song ROCKS! 8-) :clap:

5.)Ay Hairathe - Mindblowing! The Song Starts Once Again with the "Dham Dhara Dham Dhara" and Harikaran has created wonder with his voice! :thumbsup: Excellent...Probably my most favorite song in the Album!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

6.) Baazi Laga - Mediocre...Nothin much to say about it...it's a feet tapping song, but personally didn't impress me much.

7.) Jaage Hain - I like the classical Symphony touch that ARR has given to it...It's good! :D

------------------------------------------------------------------


Overall, the Album is quite good! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: There is only 1 song that I didn't like...the others were all good! :2thumbsup:

[dinesh2002]

Maddy...i agree with u...though i dun understand Hindi...i feel its a song ARR shouldnt have sang...... :lol: Chinmayi was mindblowing....

hmm...guys,can anyone tell me the Nursat's song that was an inspiration for this song...thanks...

Guys....im slowly changing my view towards the album....liking all the songs except the Bappi's song......

[nickraman]

GURU - Master Class

So after Dil Se and Saathiya, director Mani Ratnam, ARR and lyricist Gulzar come together after the spectacular chartbusters from the respective films. The hype around this period film with an A cast and A-crew, one wonders how the public will react.

But now comes the million dollar question. Do the trio succeed in another album? To an extent, yes. But enough of my prologue and let's focus on the tracks.

Barso Re starts off the album with a flute instrumental. Followed by singers, Shreya Goshal & Keerthi, the music in this song is very good. It's got some south flavor and it's got potential for a rain scene with Aish. Overall, good start to the album.
****

Tere Bina is sort of lifted from Rang De Basanti's "Rubaroo", but don't worry, it's not a DIRECT lift, just inspired. It's a good number and with good lyrics and vocals from ARR, Chinmayee, one knows that this song has the potential to pick up popularity. Seems situational, but that's just me.
****

Ek lo Ek Muft is however a disappointment. This is the Bappida (Bappi Lahiri) song that was hyped up among ARR fans sometime back when ARR composed the songs for this film. Again, going back to the tune, it's another situational number definetly. Chitra's okay but really, she could've lowered ver vocals a bit. Bappi does his best, but fails. With a little Mani magic, this song MIGHT get picked up. ***

Mayya starts off slow, but then it picks up. Again, ARR seems to be inspired from Dil Se's "Satrangi Re" or rather, Anu Malik's "Asoka". Apparently, it's the "Mallika" item number, hence the beats were heavily heard throughout the song. Rendered by Marya Toller, Chinmayee, & Keerthi, the song is bound to be a hit among masses (IMO). ****

Ay Hairathe is possibly a pick of the album. Tere Bina's repetitive chorus led by ARR is heard about in this song. Sung by Hariharan and Alka Yagnik, the song is excellent in tune, lyrics, and I'm not going further into the album. This song is a MUST HEAR.
****.5

Baazi Laga is a foot tapper in the album. With lifts from latin music, ARR's done justice to the song. With Udit Narayan and Madhrushee the song is another pick of the album. ****

Jaage Hain is a slow symphonic number led by ARR and the Madras chorus group. Very similar to the Bombay theme. Again, it's good for situation/BGM type of thing. ***.5

Overall, the music is first class. Barso Re, Tere Bina, Ay Hairathe, Maaya and Baazi Laga are potential ear draggers. The other two can be considered situational. (Of course think LRMB, when they had all situational and the film worked of course.)

Rating: 3.8 ~ 4/5

[dinesh2002]

ok....now the song im listenin to like 15 times is Bazi Laga...damn!! such an addictive song !!! :D :D cant stop playing it over & over again!!! is the CD released in Malaysia???

i insisted on review not negative poisoning dinesh .. i know u r'ent a jaldra .... remember being a fan ur supposed to kindle interest not spoil the image of rahman with the initial hearings ...... bringing out a Innovative attempt in music is very tough than criticing it in a single sentence ppl .. happy that the actual reviews r coming around now...


after a night full of listening guru in one word is inspirational

[Music4Ever]

Ay Hairathe Aashiqui is my pick, although I haven't yet heard the album fully. This particular number is delectable, simply delicious. ARR has done full justice to this number musically. Hariharan is awesome. I am a great fan Mohammad Rafi and OP Nayyar combo songs and this one is just like that. Vintage stuff. Super song, ARR.

Arya Babbar goes negative in 'Guru'
Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 17, 2006]


Raj Babbar's son Arya started his career with Raj Kanwar's 'Ab Ke Baras' a few years back.

Though he was reasonably decent, the film flopped and along with it Arya's dreams of stardom. His subsequent films like 'Mudda' and 'Thoda Tum Badlo Thoda Hum' sunk without a trace and Arya disappeared from the Bollywood scene for more than two years until Mani Rathnam signed him on for 'Guru.'

In an attempt to build a second innings, Arya is apparently appearing as a negative character in 'Guru' and he is said to have a meaty role in the film.

Starring Abhishek Bachchan in the title role along with Mithun Chakravorty, Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan and Vidya Balan, 'Guru' has music by A.R.Rahman and is set for release on January 12th.

also, u can find a host of sources for various bollywood tunes out there...... :lol: ........Pakistan-la irundhu terrorist mattum illa, pala ustad's tune-galum India kulle infiltrate ayirukku..... :lol:

[thamizhvaanan]

MADDY, ARR is a fan of Nusrat since long time and his songs had distinct influence of fateh ali kahn right from the beginning. Even Rahman's singing style is similar to NFAK. I remember reading somewher that this song is a tribute to him. So no surprises 8-) .

[Ramakrishna]

ok....now the song im listenin to like 15 times is Bazi Laga...damn!! such an addictive song !!! :D :D cant stop playing it over & over again!!! is the CD released in Malaysia???

Same here too :D . I couldn't sit in my college. I was constantly humming this song. Very addictive one.

Mind u i liked even Ek Lo Ek Muft song.

[MADDY]

thamizh i wanted to find it out myself how much they are similar........i dont think the tunes are similar......for me, copying the tune is worst thing to do.....i'm really happy that ARR hasnt done that here.......someone here claimed that ARR has copied Nursat shamelessly.....i was really stung and hurt with that remark..... :D

If you're stressed out, hear this joke:

Annu Malik says he was called Mozart by his father and claims that his Unrao Jaan is the album of the year.

http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1064592

BTW, Guru's track is getting some mixed reviews in the media, with some coming down heavily on ARR on his Baazi Laga song. Has it been released in the Indian music stores yet? Or is it all from MP3 listenings?

WOW these songs are really awesome. I was waiting for these kinda songs for a LONG time i mean a LONG time. Ill bet my life that this soundtrack will become an ultimate blockbuster. I only didnt like two songs on first hearing ek lo ek muft and baazi laaga. Now I am liking ek lo ek muft and almost liking baazi laaga. First hearing on baazi laaga I thought i played wrong song because it didnt seem like a Rahman song. But later while I was sleeping when i heard it on mp3 without bass I clearly heard all the complicated treble sounds. good stuff. GO BUY THE ALBUM GUYS.

Hey arsaregama how r u listening to this album in 5.1? Its mastered to listen on stereo isnt it? I have a 5.1 on my computer but how do i listen to it? is there a special software?
