Rocking the Buddha (Courtesy Express India.com )

Paris-based DJ Ravin brings in electronica into lounge for his new albums

Baisakhi Roy

Mumbai, November 4: YOU see wrath written all over the original Buddha
Bar artiste DJ Ravin. ``I'm appalled at the Buddha Bar fakes that are
doing the rounds,'' laments 48-year-old DJ Ravin referring to albums
such as Buudha Bar Sunset that's just been released in Europe. He
feels that lounge has taken a beating because there are too many
remixes of the original and people are confused about the real thing.

In the city as part of the Red Revelation, the teetotaler was at Red
Light at Kala Ghoda spinning tracks from his new album, Buddha Bar VII
and Siddhartha. Slated for worldwide release in February and September
next year respectively, these albums incorporate heavy electronica and
break away from traditional sounds. ``Besides, night clubs are getting
smaller and trendier, so the music has to be more buzzy but also has
to have a pervading sense of calm,'' says Ravin.

Ravin who is of Indian origin shifted base to Paris as a nine-year-old
to work in a music shop where he discovered one of the hottest
nightspots and his calling—The Buddha Bar. ``The ambience at the club
just set me off. I read a lot on Buddhism. My music is heavily
inspired by Buddhist sensibilities,'' says the pony-tailed DJ in his
heavy Parisian accent, who's experimenting with artistes like Nitin
Sawhney and Talveen Singh.

Ravin's also dying to jam with A R Rahman. Rahman has already
collaborated with another member of the Buddha Bar's clique, DJ Claude
Challe, for an album called Flying Carpet. ``I love his orchestration
in Taal, the music was so simple, the tabla beats were very
soothing,'' says Ravin who interestingly also loved the music track of
Ravi Chopra's weepy saga, Baghban.

The Paris-based DJ will play in Bangalore and Delhi in the coming
weeks. Any plans of a scoring for Bollywood? ``Why not? The music is
so varied in these films,'' he says flashing a wide-eyed smile. Lounge
meets Baghban? We'll wait for that one.

[Oldposts]

ARR will score the music for KS Ravikumar's movie in which Ajith is to
do triple role, Dinkaran reports. Plans are underway and Ajith is also
likely to sing in this one...

In the recent 'thanks to JJ' function ARR-Hariharan-TLM sang an unheard song. Is this is a film song?

[Oldposts]

Ramki,
That's the tamil version of the song "Yun Hi Chala" from Swades. Swades was to be dubbed as Desam, fine, but literally translating the Hindi words to Tamil sucked big time.
And Hariharan really got on my nerves with his "improvisations". Rahman thaane-nu thimuru.
TLM impressed. He was as good as Kailash Kher.

Vazhipokan did u look at the date and it was oct25 and oct 21 and it was competing with films released rite from april and may..and that too south and west have always ben ARR's forte and he is doing very well there.......there is no doubting that ARR is really struggling(in both HFM and TFM) like Sachin tendulkar(3 at kanpur) but beware of them they can smash anyone anytime at their will.......FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT.......

[Oldposts]

good 1 maddy

[Oldposts]

Swades is not a crossover album, I don't think it would do a Rangeela.
And I don’t believe the guy who made Ahista, Yeh jo desh he tera and Phal phal hai bhari could be struggling for form :)

[Oldposts]

What is being touted as Shah Rukh Khan's best performance as an actor ever, will be seen on the global screens on December 17. Swades, directed by Oscar nominee Ashutosh Gowariker, is about a man's inner conflict, between a comfortable lifestyle and belief in an ideal.

UTV is distributing the film and its international distribution general manager Ashoka Holla says that "hopefully, the film will be released in Germany and France simultaneously with its release in India".

To be sure, Holla has been working very hard to ensure a global release for the film. In all, the target is a 275-print release in the international market, the largest ever by a Hindi feature film.

For the last three months Holla has been touring the European Union armed with a shorter version of the film that's been cut by about 30 minutes (the original lasts for over three hours) for the overseas audience.

Interestingly, he's managed to sell Swades even in Poland where Bollywood films have yet to make a mark.

"Generally, when a film does well, say, like in the case of Devdas, the international distributors sell it to territories on the basis of its success," says Holla.

UTV, however, decided to pre-sell the film. While the average minimum guarantee (upfront money paid by film buyers) for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer (inclusive of terrestrial and DVD rights) is not being disclosed, the revenue share for the film once the minimum guarantee has been recovered is set at 50:50.

Made on a budget of Rs 22 crore (Rs 220 million), I expect the film to give us at least 175 per cent return on investment

And yes, he confirms media reports that say the film is very much in the black almost a month before its release. It is expected to do well on the DVD circuit too.

Film industry experts point out that if 20,000 French-subtitled DVDs of Lagaan could be sold without any pre-sell, UTV is likely to reap a richer harvest from subtitled DVDs in the German, French and other languages.

Some of this business has come from Netflix (in North America) which is said to be the world's largest online DVD movie rental service with more than 2 million listed members.

Netflix has placed an advance order for 5,000 DVDs for Swades and an order for 1,000 DVDs each for Lakshya and Phir Milenge. A long-term deal between Netflix and UTV Motion Pictures will give the former access to all UTV titles in North America.

The company is upbeat about the film's success in the global market as it is said to have a universal theme. "Shah Rukh is not as big a star as the Hollywood guys in Europe," says Holla.

So the buyers are not judging the film on the basis of his name, but for its content, he adds. UTV expects the SRK starrer (along with model-turned-actor Gayatri Iyer) to break all records in the international market, on the back of its distribution power.

Jacky, i never told that ARR is struggling for form but he is struggling for success....no one can deny that.....he has not been able to churn out the huge money-generating musical hits that he is famous for.....i feel ARR should produce one heck of an album that sells more than Pizzas and mobile phones and then he shuld continue with his classA movies cos commoners feel thaat ARR's magic is wanning......

[Oldposts]

His last album in Tamil was New.
If that didnt sell, I wonder what did.

[Oldposts]

TV's here just aired 'shakalaka baby' (Bombay dreams) from Macy's Annual Thanksgiving Parade in Newyork(live relay)

ARR plays a Huge part in promoting bollywood, sadly not kollywood Internationaly.

It is through ARR's awsome 'Bombay dreams', the english people here are mad about Bollywood, and of course thanks to the awsome beauty of Aish :))

[dinesh2002]

Another Tamil Project ?? Mazhai - Simbhu & Thrisha


baluradhika asks Hi Chanakya, when r u going to direct your own movie
including music?
Silambarasan says Maybe next year. But the music will be by Rahman


saigan asks wht is ur next film after thotti jaya
Silambarasan says I am doing a movie with S.J Suryah. He is directing
the movie. Rahman is giving the music, Jeeva is the cameraman. I am
also writing a script and the movie name maybe `Mala`.


http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13630879

Simbu and Trisha teaming once again?


After a gap of almost a year and a half, Silambarasan and Trisha will
be coming together in a film titled Malai. Their earlier movie Alai
with a wafer thin story and predictable scenes miserably failed at
the box-office. There were even rumours about alleged romance in real
life too.
P.L.Thenappan produces this film for Sri Rajlakshmi Films.
Interestingly Thenappan launched three projects – Madhavan-Sada
starrer Priyasakhi, Srikanth - Gopika starrer Kanaa Kanden and this
film with Simbu simultaneously.
It is believed that after the super-duper success of Manmadhan (where
Simbu has done the directorial supervision), the producer has
considered Simbu's name for direction too. If not Alai, will Malai do
the trick for them at least this time?

Another Tamil Project ?? 20-40-60 by S J Surya -RAJINI ??

S J Surya to direct Rajini:

Behindwoods
January 28, 2005


After Chandramukhi, Rajini has accepted the offer to act in the Jayam fame ‘Editor’ Mohan’s movie. As Rajini usually plan’s around only three movies a year, many kollywood directors are striving to get a suitable story for him, so that they may get a chance to do their film with the Super Star.

The first among these directors’ is director cum actor S J Surya, who is already ready with a suitable story, exclusively tailor made for the Super Star. The story has been named 20-40-60 by S J Surya.

According to the story line, Rajini stars in triple roles and pairs along two heroines in the film. The story line for the film is also said to move along in a rapid pace such as Rajini’s previous ventures like Muthu and Basha.


As the script for the story is also ready at hand, Surya is looking forward for an appointment with the Super Star.

Rehman still wants more time
IndiaGlitz
Saturday, February 05, 2005



He still continues to be a kind of recluse. He chooses his word with the same measured confidence of a jewellery shop owner. In some sense, he is not what your every day Tamil fan or every day Tamil journo is comfortable with.

Yet, A R Rehman continues to inspire and intrigue lakhs and lakhs across the State.

The good news for them is that the master, after being away in abroad scoring tunes for Broadway Musicals and a Chinese film, is back.

Rehman is now here and says wants to concentrate on Tamil films. Remember Tamil films are what catapulted him to sky-high world fame.

Rehman is currently doing music for Ajith's Godfather, S J Suryah's BF and another film with actor Surya. He is also pencilled to score music for Aamir Khan's next Hindi movie.

Though Rehman is obviously happy to be back in Tamil, he has one grouse.

"Here the budgets are low. Hence, they want to me complete it quick. But to score good music, I need at least three months".

Rehman had fallen foul of some top directors (Balachander, Shankar) because he was seen to too slow for their comfort.

Rehman says the quality of Tamil music is pretty good. He has particularly good words for his competitors like Vidysagar and Yuvan Shankar Raja.

[Vazhipokkan]

ARR's talks about Yuvan Vidya saagar and Harris in his Kumudam interview. His answers on using Udit Narayan seems to be very logical. ARR's real character speaks all through the interview

Read here

http://www.dinamalar.com/2005feb07/kumudam.asp

[dinesh2002]

yo man,what did he spoke bout harris??plz translate that part!

[Vazhipokkan]

He says "Harris does music for current youth taste!"

[Vazhipokkan]

He acknowledges that he(ARR), his sister and Vidyasaagar learn't music from Dhanraj Master. He feels Yuvan has good creativity. He has his own distinct style that he follows!

[dinesh2002]

cool man...atleast ARR has the heart to comment good on his competitors....unlike others!! this is where he stands the best in personality wise!

[dineshmalaysia]

Dinesh,

You are so pathetic! It seems that you are the only one actively but uselessly trying to revive every ARR thread in this new forum mode.

Just accept that you and your ARR are defeated and he is nowhere to be found anymore.

Learn to accept YSR and HR and move on.

[MADDY]

mr.dineshmalaysia......it is IR fans who still r not able to accept ARR's entry for the past 12 yrs.......bloody, ARR is dead as far TFM is concerned and now YSR has arrived, still they think IR is the No.1 MD in TFM.....y dunt teach those pathetic guys some chronology of TFM instead of disturbing our prayers for ARR's success......

[camilleisback]

I am really sick of this ARR bashing. If you cannot appreciate the guy, that's your prerogative, but don't come out with tripe like ARR is dead. What kind of cockermaniac statement is that?

As far as I am concerned, when ARR burst into the scene, he was like a breath of fresh air. I was so grateful that he was able to break the monopoly that existed in the tamil film music scene. I love his music and I still do and I am sure he will rule the airwaves for a long time yet.

[A.ANAND]

KELLAMBITHANGAYA KELAMBITHAAANGAA!!!!!

[A.ANAND]

HALOO MADDY,IF U R THE TRUE ARR FAN PLEASE
DONT SAY 'ARR DEAD IN TFM'PLEASE..
ARR RE-ENTRY IN TFM THIS YEAR AND HE WILL ROCKING..

[MADDY]

hey guys dunt teach me abt. ARR......he is like my god........he is my idol.......his music has been a major calming influence in my life.....i respect him as a successful middle-class person,i adore him as a god-fearing/mother-loving person, i worship him for his good habits in this bad,bad cine industry and i'am proud that i was born in his land and his era......
but reality is something very harsh to accept........he was always considered 2nd to a dying and worthless IR from 1992-2004 and now ppl. dunt even properly remember him in TN.......hey but he is still rocking in Hindi with gr8 songs like "hum hain iss pal" and ppl. always consider him a legend here......he was also touted as a person more powerful than Hrithik roshan and ajay devgan in bollywood...so my ARR will always live outside TN.........but in TN i really doubt anything gud happening to him.....

[NOV]

Maddy, are you going to edit your posts, or do you want me to do it for you?

[A.ANAND]

IF YUVAN,HJ,VDS,BARATWAJ,D.IMAN,SRI.DEVA,S.A.RAJKUMAR ,JOS.SRITAR.,VIJAY ANTHONY,PROYOG,THINA,JASSIE GIFT,SRIDEVI PRASAD..EXT..ALL THIS MD CAN MAKE ROCKING IN TFM Y ARR CANNOT MAKE IT.YOU THINK ARR IS VERY CHEAP?????
YOU DOUBT ABOUT IS TALENT????ARE YOU SICK?????

[dinesh2002]

hey anand,cool it...let him think what he wanan think,for me ,ARR will BE BACK!! for him its over..so we cant change his point of view,neither can he...so..just let him speak out...and we speak out ours!!

ARRAHMAN WILL BE BACK!

[camilleisback]

Why can't people enjoy ARR for his music? There is no need for him "to be back" or to be better than IR/HJ/Deva etc etc because he is a genius in his own right. Do you guys see people fighting over whether The Beatles was better than The Rolling Stones or vice-versa?

There is no need to also idolise or demonize ARR. He is not perfect, so to expect him to churn hits after hits is illogical. For every 1 flop, there are 10 hits, so throw out the flops and enjoy the hits.

Years from now people will still talk about Chinna Chinna Aasai or Vande Mataram. His flops would have been forgotten.

Dineshmalaysia, why don't you go somewhere else and bash ARR? This is the man whose Shakalaka Baby went up the British Top of the Pop charts. I think you are one jealous individual, otherwise you wouldn't knock the success of a Tamilian.

[jaiganes]

Well said camillie!
The saying, "No body can stop an idea whose time has come" applies well to ARR. His entry was not something planned, it happened. So hyper criticizing him for recent lack of superhits or hyper appreciating him is not going to help. Yesterday happened to watch swades songs in local cable. "Yeh Jo Des hai Tera" song gathers much more emotion and effect when viewed with the picture. It was simply scintillating!! Great work by ARR .

[MADDY]

Hey sorry NOV, i know my posts are bit provocative :oops: ......i'll try to stop posting for a few days and then may be do a comeback.......

lekin i cant help it..... i'm a ARR-veriyan and it bugs me when he doesent get his due appreciation.........this has always been my view rite from 1992--> ARR IS NOT FOR TAMIL MUSIC, HE IS FOR A LARGER AUDIENCE AND GREATER THINGS THAN JUST COMPETING WITH IR and HIS KIDS and getting criticised by very limited knowledged critics like subbudu........

some one close to ARR, can u pls tell him this point......it wud be gr8......Hey sorry again NOV, i wunt repeat this.......

[Cinefan]

I read in Sify yesterday that ARR is the MD for Asutosh's(Lagaan,Swades)new film Jodha-Akbar(The legendary romance between Akbar&Jodhabai).Javed Akthar as usual does the lyrics.It's a peroid film&big budgeted.Shooting starts Dec 2005&will release in the summer of 2006.Casting is yet to be done though the leading man has been finalized(name not yet known).

[camilleisback]

Thank you jai. I feel very upset and angry when I read people knocking ARR. I was even more angry when I went to the old forum and read the old responses.

The saying that a Tamilian will always bring his fellow Tamilian down seems so true.

I am not a fan of Illayaraja. I like his music but he too has come out with his flops. I hate his voice but I know that there are other people who love it. I don't call them stupid or lacking in taste, do I?

Bombay Dreams is still running in London. :)

The music from Swades is fantastic. :D

[Nayagan]

YSR pales in comparison with ARR. Yes, he has given good albums like 7GRC, KK and manmathan. That by itself cannot displace ARR. ARR like MSV, IR is a legend. YSR is just another composer who is at present having a whiff of fame. ARR just beats any other MD with the sheer success rate of the songs that he composes. YSR is already ripping songs left, right and center. So much for being a talented composer.

It seems ARR is gonna do 5 movies this year. Of which three we know ie; A AA , GF and AC. At all probabilities the next one is gonna be Maniratnams. Any guesses for the fifth?..

[dinesh2002]

rajini's film pa!

[kbee]

no movie from rajini this year.

No movie from mani this year. Mani has to be extremely careful not to make any mistake like what he did with AA. Its an exact copy of a spanish movie- which the critics and reviewers found out the minute the movie was released. Naaradichchiduvaanunga.

So again, what about the remaining 2 movies?

[Jacky]

it was not a min 2 min copy of amores perros, only the adaptation of the basic theme i.e 3 men from diff strata of society. at least that's what the websites said.
probably some IR fans detest Mani cuz he opted to work with ARR.

There were some reports saying that ARR was going to score music for Gowtham's assistant... Krishna...

So that can be the fourth and Mani's movie the fifth...

But Simbu also told in the Sify chat that the movie he may direct(Vallavan) will have music by ARR.

[MUSIC LOVER]

LAST 5 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ARR IS NOT COMPOSING MUCH COS HES BUSY WITH HOLLYWOOD FILMS......MAY BE I THINK THEY WERE SAYING ABOUT CHENNAI KODAMBAKKAM HOTEL HOLLYWOODLA NADAKARA FILM DISCUSSIONS...PLEASE ARR CAN WE HAVE SOME RELEASE TO KNOW UR ALIVE ATLEAST :roll:

All of us here in TFM always feel the presence of ARR.

So u please ........

[vingem]

1) Godfather

2) A Aa

3) Aezhumalai v/s Chidhambaram (AC)

4) Vallavan [Actor Simbu's directorial debut]

5) Untitled film directed by Krishna Gautham Menon's assistant.

Once A Aa and A/C is over Sj Surya's next movie Isai,music will again be composed by ARR.

Vasanth's 9:30 - 10:00 and Parthiban's Yelelo are shelved for now.


In Hindi

Amir Khan's The Rising
Deepa Mehta's River Moon
Rang De Basanti starring Amir Khan
Sanja Leela Bansali's Bajirao Mastani
and recent news which says Ashutosh Gowrikar's next movie
Akbar-jodha, a movie about Mughal King Akbar and his Rajput wife Jodhabai are ARR's hindi project as of now.

[Dragun]

I think Bajirao-Mastani is on hold for now.

Glad to see that ARR is doing more Tamil projects now.

[baba88]

Vallavan [Actor Simbu's directorial debut] has music by Yuan Shankar Raja not A.R.Rahman.

But Mani Rathnam's next movie (documentary) 'Kural' has music by A.R.Rahman.

S.J.Suryah is planing another movie with Vijay it will have music by A.R.Rahman

K.S.Ravikumar said 100% that he is going to direct Rajnikanths next film. I think it will have music by A.R.Rahman.

[vingem]

http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13630879

this was in Dec 2004, search for rahman on the page, he says he will be directing a movie next year and the music will be by ARR.
i guess it has been said that he's directing a movie called Vallavan so think the music would be by ARR.

[vingem]

Vallavan [Actor Simbu's directorial debut] has music by Yuan Shankar Raja not A.R.Rahman.



do you have an links or article which says music is by YSR ?

[stone cold]

I read in cinesouth few days back Vallavan music dir is Yuvan.

According to someone close to Sammanasu Justin, we can expect the audio to release during the beginning of june as the movie is slated to release the 9th of July.

[Arjuna]

Btw - Do u all know that ARR scored for a drama starring Charuhaasan - some outer space drama during the 1990s..The music for the serial was awesome - something similar to the pudhu velai malai song from Roja!! That was the first time I heard the name of ARR!! He is GOD!!

[dude]

Was a it a drama or a t.v. serial? There was a very famous serial called 'Kanavugalai Ninaivakkum Computer'... It was written by writer Sujata and had charuhasan, sivaranjani, etc. in the cast...

Was the music done by ARR???

[Arjuna]

dude - I guess it that only - charuhasan acted as the alien or some space ship captain or something like that - yes the music by our thalai ARR only - awesome BGMs..

[Arjuna]

(sorry typos)
dude - I guess it is that only - charuhasan acted as the alien or some space ship captain or something like that - yes the music was by our thalai ARR only - awesome BGMs..

[Arjuna]

it was a drama ..

dude - any other info on that?

[svaisn]

It was serial.. in DD

In early 90's

" En iniya eyandira"....... Starring Siva(Eeramaana Rojave fame) and sivaranjini (Cat eyed gal in Vandi. Chinnarasu) and charuhasan....

It was too godd.,.. and u can get the CD of this serial in Raj Video VIsion Mount road.....

[MADDY]

"En Iniya Eyandira"'s music was by Thayanpan and not by ARR......moreover the music and bgms were a direct lift of a Mel Gibson hollywood flick- i dunt remember the name of the flick but he is a captain of ship that goes to hawaii islands in the movie.....so i think ARR wouldn't have scored the music......

[Shankar]

Its Bounty...

[dude]

svaisn,

u are right, it was en iniya iyandira... nice one though.

[Arjuna]

ok fine - I thought the music was by ARR since I remember seeing something like that - and the BGM was too good - and so thought only ARR culd have done that!! It resembled ARR's puthu velai malai - the starting BGM!!

[MADDY]

yaa arjuna, the music sounds very rahmanish but it was not...it deceived a lot of ppl......

I am just listening to Kaadu Pota Kaadu from Karuthaama - This song is such an under-rated melody of ARR!! Its is such an amazing song - and I remember that when I listened to it the first time - during the early 1990s - tears started rolling from my eyes - it has so much soul in it - but sadly it is under rated!!

[muzammil84]

ya right said arjuna i too like very much this song and barathi raja sang well too :)

[music man]

Yes,in fact the serial came during the release of Roja and the title bgm of "En Iniya Iyandira" resembled Puthu vellai Mazhai(atleast in the beats).I simply loved this music.Even today rarely in some documenteries,they use this BGM.Meanwhile Mr.Thayanban is an accomplished MD,has composed for many serials.He was my father's colleague (but Mr.Thayanban is now retired).

[Arjuna]

so was the title music of "en iniya.." inspired/copied or was it done by his own? The music was awesome!! How come we didnt hear abt Thayanban before?

Musicman - any info abt thayanban..

[Arjuna]

muzammi ur right!! bharathiraja sang well - btw was that song malaysia vasudevan's last song..I culdnt hear him afterwards!!

Re: Is KanduKondein Kandukondein ARR last soulful Album?

Arjuna!

I think you are talking about just Tamil Albums and u kidding ARR lacks soulful these days?. Have you heard Meenaxi, TLOBS, Swades, Kisna are they not soulful & now BOSE?

ARR Music have matured a lot and he is well settling in a new dimension. To me it is more soulful these days. Dont expect foot-tapping in every album. BOYS too he has given enough. I can understand that many of the tamil speaking ARR fanatics miss the beauty of the Hindi lyrics and his magical composition. No doubt he is versatile & experimental. But I can see him laying a strong foundation (rehearsal) for the upcoming International projects.

ARR is a masterbrain in picking up the projects too. Do u all want ARR to choose the same projects like Karakattakaran/kari versions for years. Look at the projects he has taken in Hindi and Internationally. On contrary,he never missed to satisfy his tamil fans too by GF, Aa Aah.

Upcoming
a) THE RISING
b) LOTR
c) WATER

& the previous one in VM'sRaaga Dance, WOHE, Bombay Dreams UK/US. Others like VM, Lagaan, SWADES, BOSE.

ARR Desa pattru (from his songs) parthu pullarichu pocchu. Desa pattrunranthu ratthathula irukkanum harmonium thu la theda koodathu. Kodumba pattra vena thedalam.

If ARR signs one album in Hindi or Tamil, the advantage is it can be dubbed in several languages and he gets many awards, more box office collections. Can hear the same song from different singers. Like I can hear from SPB, KJY & Udit etc. How great it is? It reaches wider audiences. One & only with ARR Film Industry can do that.

I wish ARR shud get these titles too. Dr. ARR, 10 National awards, Grammy Award Winner, OSCAR etc.. Definetly he has got that potential and I doubt in future someone will be able to achieve this much from India.

Grow up dudes. Let ARR explore the globe.

[Arjuna]

Scale - again :) - I meant Tamil not the hindi ones - and hope u didnt mistake my immensive love and patriotism towards my ARR!! He is the eternal GOD of Music - and when I told him this - he asked me not to address him as GOD :)!!

[dinesh2002]

yo man...i think KKS had a great soulful music from ARR...thats a complete melody album from ARR since KKKK...BOYS until now is unbeatble by any ARR's album or even other mds...ARR...im waiting for another BOYS!!!!!

Thx for the trailer :) Its evident that ARR is the one to give authentic North Indian folk. The beggining is excellent. can anybody tell me which part of north India does this style belong to? MP?
When is the album being released, eager to listen :)

Godfather ready for release

K S Ravikumar and Ajith, after their earlier hit Villain about a couple of years ago, now teams up once again for Godfather. Ajith plays three roles -an old man, a eunuch and a youthful do-gooder with Asin acting opposite him.
The highlight of the movie is its music. After a gap A R Rahman returns to Tamil by scoring music for Godfather. Besides composing tunes, Rahman has sung a number for the film. According to Ajith, the movie has come out well so far and it has all ingredients to satisfy his fans. He hopes the movie would make it big.
The movie has been completed and is expected to be released next month. In the meantime Ajith has geared up with his next project Naan Kadavul with director Bala , the discussions of which are in full awing.

"Godfather is not dropped. Praveen(owner of ajithfans.com) talked to Thalai and Thalai told him that Godfather is not dropped and it will be delayed so they'll release Naan Kadavul before Godfather. Naan Kadavul shoot starts next month 15th. Thalai and his friends talked to Praveen and they said that he can continue his work perfectly as always and they support him and he should get permission to post any news in the site."

from Ajithfans.com

Who to believe?

there r contradictory news in websites some saying GODFATHER IS READY FOR RELEASE NEXT MONTH,while others say that it is dropped or postponed which is correct info plsss confirm someone.
iam waiting for ARR rocking music.this film is a comeback for ARR by a storm,KSR (excellent masala director)so film a superb entertainer and ajith (a lovable personality)this is his first movie after leaving car race!!!!so expecting a lot.

app_engine, this is the time when my friend took the picture of KH giving the CD to ARR. It was during dasavatharam discussion and this friend caught all of them on the spot. It was not a formal release function. They just asked KH to give one to ARR so that they can officially use their name for marketting! Good CD though.

[njv]

After LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time today I listened to few early hits of ARR. Its all from movies like Iruvar, May Madham, Duet. The songs are very soothing. There is a big difference between the songs now a days and the yester years, may be because old songs remind you of old days and that brings down your age:)

Like lot of IR fans miss 80s IR, I am sure few ARR fans are also missing 90s ARR. I guess the music has to chagne for the need, so they are changing and probably the current generation is liking them. We just need to adapt ourselves and get the benefit out of their music!

Long live the musical legends.

[Scale]

njv!

Its just a matter of creativity. For that, anyone need peace & time to work to get the best. Lots of burden on ARR, a person who is frequently travelling from chennai to every part of the world composing tamil,hindi,english songs & performing live concerts.

It started from BD. Amazing even his current releases Meenaxi,swades, bose are no less than a masterpiece. Its the rite time for him to achieve more and more even in the West too.

I a HC fan, personally request him to sacrifice my(fan) demand and proceed on his own way like what he has achieved in 1990's magnificiently.

Same applies to IR (melodies) too like his mid 70's & 80's.

kasi nanba,

Latest news is Aamir is willing/gonna to do next MR's film (ARR YG). Nothing Officially announced. There is also a rumour that he is dicussing/gathering all khans (AK,SRK,SK) to do Mahabharatam triology.


Irrespective of star,story,banner ARR is sure there. What I am concerned is his health and SUHASINI'S controversy unnecessarily.

[vijayr]

Although its a tad too late now, I have been listening to thigu thiguvena from Aah aah and the song, especially Saadhana's rendition has had me hooked. Every time she sings "thala thala" at the end of the charanams she improvs it in a different way. She has come a long way from her early days IMO. The way the percussion kicks in at a higher volume after an intentionally muted down vocal prelude packs in a punch or two. The tune flow in the charanam is pretty good too. The male voice sucked and the choice could have been better. But the composition is a winner from Rahman, for a situation that demanded a sensuous song.

Andhimandharai a national award winner in film category directed by Bharathiraja starring vijayakumar. I think it was never released in theatres.

It has some nice bgms (piano themes) & 3 songs

1) Oru naal oru poludhu
2) Pachhaikili (same Karuthamma song with different lyrics)
3) Sakhiye by Unni Krishnan

I used a part of the lyrics as a sign from this song

"Ennai Suthi Oru kootam sirikindra podhum UNNAI pathi en udhadu voyamal pesum"

Anything more Dinesh?

[thamizhvaanan]

i havent listend to the audio seperately but i have seen the film alone. the bgm was wonderful and so were the songs. the movie had lots of emotions and i thot the music in the film really suited teh film.

P.S: i felt that the sakiye song sounded similar to thoda thoda malarndadenna from indira and mudal murai killi parthein from sangamam. i am not sure coz i've have listend to the songs only once that too while watching the film. any thots guyz?

Rehman for Harris
IndiaGlitz [Friday, April 28, 2006]



Director A R Murugadoss is all set to direct his Ghajini in Hindi. Aamir Khan would play the lead role with Asin playing his ladylove.

Interestingly, Harris Jeyaraj, who composed the musical score for the original, would be replaced by A R Rehman.

Sources say Aamir Khan had insisted on Rehman working in the movie.

Starting with Lagaan down through Mangal Pandey and now Rang De Basanti, Aamir has hit it off with Rehman.

Ghajini starring Suriya and Asin went on to become a big hit in Tamil and established Murugadoss as a sought-after director in Kollywood.

Currently he is directing a Telugu movie featuring Chiranjeevi and Trisha, Murugadoss would commence the Hindi venture of Ghajini only after completing the Chiranjeevi starrer.

[ansa400]

I think this is a gud 1 for ARR to work on, although I feel Murugadoss should change the original script a little bit. The 2nd half wasn't all that gr8. What say?

[vasanth2006]

There is another film booked for ARR.
film name is sakkarakatti.Kalaipuli S.Thanu producing, his son is directing and k.bhagyaraj son shanthanu is acting as a hero.
source is "Thina thanthi". is it confirmed?
i think ARR has now lot of big budget and variety movies in his hand.(in TFM,HFM also).

[dinesh2002]

Sakarakatti ...big budget??????? :roll:

[vasanth2006]

Dinesh,
i am not saying that Sakarakatti is the big budget. for the reason only i mentioned variety word in my earlier post.Sakkarakatti is come under the different catagory like ARR is the only big artist in the film. so there must be well focus on ARR. what i want to tell is that he has the different genre/types of fims.
anyway Shivaji,JOK,GF,Guru,London Dreams etc are the big budget and big artist's films right?

‘Pray for me brother’, a chartbuster from A R Rahman - co-written with Rap artist Blaaze- on the theme of eradicating poverty is all set to create a buzz in the Nokia smart phones in India. Rahman and the rapper-cum-lyricist Blaaze were present on Friday when Nokia unveiled its plans of distributing the song through their phones. Rahman was, as usual, brief and to the point answering questions to the waiting media men. “I am sure that with the launch of such phone, more and more people would prefer legal downloads to pirated music,” said a dapper looking Rahman.

Ahmed Khan announces football-based film
By IndiaFM News Bureau, May 2, 2006 - 04:55 IST

Remember how choreographer-turned-director Ahmed Khan had announced a film Mazhab based on football just after the release of his directorial debut Lakeer. Unfortunately this ‘Remember the Titans’ kind of multi-starrer project never took off.

However, now his dream seems to be coming true. With the Football World Cup in June 2006, football fever is in the air and Ahmed Khan is one of the many who has caught the fever! He recently announced a film titled Yahaan Ke Hum Sikander, with football as its backdrop.

A big sports fan himself, Khan does not want to leave any stone unturned. He plans to consult India’s ace football player Baiching Bhutia, so that his film looks realistic enough. Also, they plan to bring in a major international football player for the mahurat shot. It will be shot in India as well as abroad.

The film is based on the experiences that a football team has while playing a match against the English team. While Nana Patekar plays the coach, the actresses who are finalized for the project include Sneha Ullal, Rimii Sen and Ayesha Takia. The eleven actors who will be a part of the team are yet to be finalized. A.R.Rahman has been roped in for the music of the film. The makers hope to capitalize on the football mania that the World Cup generates.

Back with a bang with Rang De Basanthi, Rahman is today the most celebrated music director, both in the East and the West. An article on Time carried the title: That old feeling: Isn’t it Rahmantic? The magazine had listed Roja on its Top 10 movie sound track of all time.
