Rahman’s Kollywood ‘comeback’

In 2011, he did not have a single Tamil release. But A R Rahman is set to change all that this year, with some big films in Kollywood.

While he's currently working on the music for Mani Ratnam's Kadal and Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan, he also has Mariyaan - Dhanush's film with Bharatbala - lined up. Also on the cards is Gautham Menon's Yohan with Vijay and perhaps a film with director Shankar as well.

When we quizzed Rahman about it, he says, "Yes, it's a comeback of sorts for me. I'm making up for my absence."

A source says that as the musician had his hands full with concerts and Bollywood/ Hollywood projects last year, he plans to concentrate on Kollywood films this year. "Rahman is very excited to be back on home turf and working with people with whom he shares a wonderful relationship," reveals a source, "When Mani Ratnam called him over to the sets of Kadal by the sea shore, Rahman jumped at the opportunity. He is also working extensively on Rajini's project and is ensuring that the tunes turn out well."

With Mani's flick slated to release first, here's hoping the Mani-ARR magic returns on-screen! Check out Stars Homepage

2011 ஒன்னுமே இல்லை: இந்த வருஷம் 6 போதுமா ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான்!
http://www.tamilfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/250x250tamilfun.gif (http://www.tamilfun.com/)
இசைப்புயல் ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான் போன வருடம் என்ன காரணத்தினாலோ எந்த தமிழ் படத்திற்கும் இசை அமைக்கவில்லை. ஆனால் அந்தக் குறையை இந்த வருடம் போக்குவது போல் கை நிறைய தமிழ் படங்களை வைத்திருக்கிறார் இசைப்புயல். இதில் முதலில் வரவிருக்கும் படம் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினியின் கோச்சடையான் படப் பாடல்கள்தான்.செப்டம்பர் அல்லது தீபாவளிக்கு இந்தப் படம் வருகிறது.
இன்னொரு முக்கியமான படம் மணிரத்னம் இயக்கும் கடல். ரொம்ப விசேஷமாக, படப்பிடிப்பு நடக்கும் கடல்புரத்துக்கே போய் பாடல்களை உருவாக்கியுள்ளார் இசைப் புயல்.
இவை தவிர, விஜய் நடிக்கும் யோஹன், தனுஷ் நடிக்கும் மரியான், கோச்சடையானுக்குப் பின் ரஜினி தொடங்கவிருக்கும் புதிய படம் என ஆறு படங்கள். கவுதம் மேனனின் சீரியல் ஒன்றிற்கும் இசை தர அவர் ஒப்புக் கொண்டுள்ளார்.
இதுகுறித்து ரஹ்மான் கூறுகையில், “நான் தமிழில் கடந்த ஆண்டு பணியாற்றாமல் இருந்ததற்கு எந்த காரணமும் இல்லை. சூழ்நிலை அப்படி அமைந்துவிட்டது. அதனை ஈடு செய்யும் வகையில் இந்த ஆண்டு பாடல்கள் தந்துவிடுவேன்,” என்கிறார் தனக்கே உரிய புன்னகையுடன் ரஹ்மான்!

Isn’t there some talk about a TV series with R Parthiban?

Yes – we’re starting in a month’s time. We’re doing a series of episodes based on a central character who happens to be a cop. It’s set in Chennai and it’s about crime in the city and how cops handle it. It’s also an emotional story about this cop who’s a widower and with a daughter. It’s going to be very interesting. And it’s going to have music by A R Rahman, incidentally.

That’s a first, isn’t it? Bringing A R Rahman to the small-screen? How difficult was it to manage it?

Oh, he was perfectly OK with it. Didn’t take any convincing at all, because he said, We really should improve the quality of programmes on TV. Television is so bad; we must do something to better it. It will be like, one hour episodes, hopefully Monday to Friday.

AR Rahman set to thrill his fans

AR Rahman's last film in Kollywood was Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya (???) but that was in 2010. After that, the music director did not sign up any Tamil film as his focus was entirely in Hollywood and international films.

The Oscar winner has now decided to shift his focus back to Kollywood. As usual, he has a number of prestigious projects in his kitty. Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan, Mani Ratnam's Kadal, Vijay's Yohan Adhyayam Ondru, and Kamal's film which needs a title, are some of the films that has been announced officially.

Apart from these films, Rahman is in talks with some more filmmakers and will decide on signing the dotted lines. Years 2011 and 2012 will be musical treat for music buff out there.

Hi all!!

Met Keith Peters today morning. I was on my way to the office and I saw him buying something from a road side shop. He was so simple. I even had doubts whether he was the real person. I went near him, introduced myself and asked him hesitatingly Sir.......er....u r guitarist?? Before i could complete, he nodded his head.Yes..Then i asked him...Sir!!! U r the great Keith Peters???. He smiled and said yes...

Then we shook hands and I said how i missed him a couple of times near Perambur Loco Works road..He smiled and replied.."I live here".

I was barely able to speak a word..I just said "I am privileged to meet you and I am your biggest fan" I said twice and shook hands again..Didn't want to disturb him...I didn't even get his autograph:-(

I think I am getting what you say about rehna tu, will listen this evening. Thanks SS. My most favorite ARR album post oscars (that's when I listened). Every song in that soundtrack is a gem.

yes it was delhi 6 for me too... but now rockstar has swallowed it... not all of sudden...but slowly... song by song... month by month...

SS,
I think it can open to a nice discussion. :smile: Yes, too adore Rockstar a lot. I mentioned Delhi-6 mainly in terms of every composition in that soundtrack. Normally we like some songs in a soundtrack more and some times we tend to even skip some. If I were to pick my top ARR soundtracks and most listened soundtracks (without able to pick the best and without skipping any song), I know it is way too difficult and it will not reflect the true picture. With my limited knowledge on ARR soundtracks and interests, these would be my choices in that order. Thiruda Thiruda, KKKK, Alaipaayuthey, Delhi-6, Minsara Kanavu, Rang De Basanti, Jodha Akbar, VTV, Sivaji, Kannathil Muthamittaal.

Even as the attention is on big projects like Kochadaiyaan and Kadal, A R Rahman is also quietly working on Mariyan, Dhanush's next with Bharatbala.

"Yes, I've finished two songs," Rahman tells TOI, "The crew is currently shooting these two songs in Africa."

'Mariyan' marks the coming together of Rahman and Bharatbala for a feature film. The duo has earlier collaborated on the famous 'Vande Mataram' project.

மீட்பராக வந்த மானிடன் ஏஆர்.ரஹ்மான் 5

‘ரோஜா’ படத்தில் புதுவெள்ளை மழை இங்கு பொழிகின்றது ஒரு மெலடி.. ருக்குமணி ருக்குமணி பாடல் தளபதி படத்தில் மணிரத்னத்தின் அரிய கண்டுபிடிப்பான கிழவியரை ஆடவைக்கிற தன் தொடர்புடைய பாடல்.தமிழா தமிழா தேசபக்திப் பாடல்.காதல் ரோஜாவே ஒரு சோக மெல்லினம்.இவைகளுடன் சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசை.


முதலில் சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசையின் மிச்ச சொச்சங்கள்.பாடியவர் மின்மினி.அதற்கு முந்தைய காலகட்டத்தில் நிறைய்ய பாடாதவர்.இவரைப் பாடவைக்கும் எண்ணம் வந்ததற்கே ரஹ்மானுக்குத் தனி அவார்ட் கொடுக்கலாம்.மித்தாலி சிங் பாடிய ‘தளபதி’யின் யமுனை ஆற்றிலே ஈரக்காற்றிலே பாடலில் இருந்து அவ்வளவு எளிதாக வெளிவர முடியாத மணிரத்னத்துக்கு மின்மினியின் சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசை தான் வெளிச்சவழி காட்டியிருக்க முடியும்.இரண்டும் கிட்டத்தட்ட ஒரே குரலின் இரண்டு குரல்கள் போல அவ்வளவு ஒற்றுமை இருக்கும்.சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசை பாடலில் ஒவ்வொரு வரியை எடுத்துப் பாடுகிறபோதும்,அதன் இணைவரியை முடிக்கிறபோதும் லேசாகத் தேய்ந்த குரலில் மின்மினி பாடியிருப்பதை உணரலாம்.உதாரணத்துக்கு சேற்றுவயலாடி....இதில் வருகிற "சே".இதற்கு அடுத்த வரியான நாற்று நட ஆசை...இதில் வருகிற "சை".


இவை தற்செயல் அல்ல.இந்த வரியை நினைவில் வைக்கவும்.


ரஹ்மான் திட்டமிட்டு இறங்கினார்.தன் பாடல்கள் பேசவைக்க வேண்டும் என்பதில் அவர் செலுத்திய தீவிரம் ஒன்று இரண்டாகத் தன்னை இரட்டித்துக் கொண்டது.ஏற்கனவே கடந்த முப்பதாண்டுகளாக பழசும் பெரிசுமாகப் பாடல்களைக் கையில் பிடித்தபடி தமக்கென உள்ளம் கவர் இசைக்கள்வர்களை நியமித்துக் கொண்டிருந்த ரசிகன் என்ற பதத்தை நோக்கி அவரது கவனம் இல்லவே இல்லை.புத்தம் புதிதாக தான் நுழையும் போது அன்றலர்ந்த மலர்களாகப் பதின் பருவர்களாக புதிதாய் எந்தப் பாடலும் எந்தப் பழைய இசையும் ஆதிக்கம் செய்திராத வெண்மனது கொண்டவர்களாகத் தனது ரசிக வேட்டையைத் துவங்கினார்.பழைய கூட்டம் மெல்ல வரும்.அது வேறு பிராசஸ்....இது எனக்கே எனக்கு என்பதாக இருந்தது.


பாடலை எப்போதும் பேரிசையோடு துவக்குவதில்லை.மெல்ல மெல்ல ஒரு பாடலுக்கான இசை கிளம்பித் ததும்பி நின்று நிலைபெற்று அடர்ந்து படர்ந்து அப்புறமாய் மெதுவாகப் பாடலோடு இணையும் புத்தம் புதுப் பாணி ரஹ்மான் கொணர்ந்தது.அவருக்கு முன்பு எழுபதாண்டு கால தமிழ் திரை இசைஞர்கள் எவரும் இப்படி ஒரு முயற்சியைக் கூட செய்ததில்லை என்பதை உணருகையில் ரஹ்மானின் புதுமுயல்வைப் புரிந்துகொள்ளலாம்.


சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசையா..?மெலடி...சரி....புது வெள்ளை மழை....இது மெலடி தான்....சரி காதல் ரோஜாவே....இதுவும் கூட மெலடி தாங்க...சரி...ஒரே படத்தில் இத்தனை மெலடி அடித்தால் இசை கேட்டு உறங்கி விட மாட்டார்களா..?அது தான் இல்லை.சின்னச் சின்ன ஆசையின் ஆதி நாதம் இருக்குமிடம் தெரியாமல் ஒலிக்கும்.அதுவே காதல் ரோஜாவே பாடலில் எஸ்.பி.பியின் குரல் மெலிந்தும் அதன் ஆதிநாதமானது வன்மையான ஒரே பீட் ஆகவும் ஒலித்துக் கொண்டே போகும்.புது வெள்ளை மழை பாடலில் குரலும் இசையும் சமசாந்தி அடைந்து இணையென ஒலிக்கும்.கேட்பவர்களுக்கு எந்த அயர்வும் வராத பாடல்கள் அவை.


படத்தில் அவ்வளவு கவனம் பெறாத பாடலாக இருந்தாலும் இசைத்தட்டில் இடம்பெற்ற தமிழா தமிழா பாடல் ஹரிஹரன் பாடியது.அதன் உடனிசையும் கோரஸ் குரல்களும் மிக வன்மையாக ஒலித்தன,.கேட்பவர் உள்ளங்களில் தேசபக்தி ரசம் ஊற்றெடுத்தது நிசம்.அதுவரை அந்தப் பாடலில் கோர்வை எங்கேயும் முயற்சிக்கப் படாதது என்பது தான் கவனிக்க வேண்டியது.


ஆச்சு...‘ரோஜா’ பற்றி இன்னமும் சொல்ல வேண்டியது என்ன..?


பழைய டாக்டர்களில் எஸ்.பி.பி.,சித்ரா மட்டும்...புதிய டாக்டர்கள் பலரை உள்ளே இறக்கி விட்டிருந்தார் ரஹ்மான்..தானே புதுசு...இதில் எதற்கு ரிஸ்க் என பெரும் முதலைகளின் துணைகொண்டு வரவில்லை.தனை ஒத்த மழலைகளின் கரம் பற்றியே இறங்கினார் ரஹ்மான்.மின்மினி,உன்னிமேனன்,சுஜாதா,எனக் கேட்பவர் காதுகளில் பச்சக் என்று பிசின் போல் ஒட்டிக்கொண்டு வழிந்து வழிந்து நிறைந்தன பாடல்கள்.


அப்புறம்...மெட்டுக்குப் பாட்டா பாட்டுக்கு மெட்டா..?இசையால் வசமாகா இதயமெது என்றெல்லாம் பலவிதங்களில் கேப்டன் படத்து வில்லன் போல் சித்ரவதைக்கு உள்ளாகி இருந்த வைரமுத்து இந்தப் படத்தில் தன் இரண்டாம் தனியாவர்த்தனத்தைத் துவக்கி இருந்தார்.எல்லாப் பாடல்களின் எல்லா வரிகளும் மனனம் செய்யப் பட்டன.ஒப்பிக்கப்பட்டன.பத்தாவது தமிழ் இரண்டாம் தாளில் வருகிற மனப்பாடப் பாட்டு என்று ஒன்று இருக்குமல்லவா..?அதனை விட இதனை விரும்பினர் மக்கள்.


‘ரோஜா’ வெளியானதும் சவுத் இந்தியன் நார்த் இந்தியன் தந்தூரி நிலங்களில் எல்லாம் புரட்டி அடித்ததும்,விருதுகளைக் குவித்ததும் மணிரத்னத்துக்கு அதுவரைக்கும் இருந்த தென் முகம் மறைந்து ஒரு ஆசிய முகம் உண்டானதும்,வைரமுத்து மீண்டும் தன் பேனாவைக் காட்டி பிஸ்தா ஆனதும் ‘ரோஜா’ செய்த மாயம்..



ரஹ்மான் ஒரே நாளில் இந்தியத் திரைவானின் அதிகம் தேடப்படும் நட்சத்திரமானார். அவருக்கு முன்னால் வாய்ப்புக்கள் குவிந்தன.


அவர் அதனினும் அதீதமாக கவனமானார்.தனக்கு முன்பாக விரித்து வைக்கப்பட்ட சீட்டுக்களில் இருந்து அவர் தேர்வு செய்த சீட்டுக்கள் ‘புதியமுகம்’, ‘ஜென்டில்மேன்’, மற்றும் உழவன்.

தொடர்ந்து இசைப்போ

ஜென்டில்மேன் படத்திற்கு முன்பு ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான், பாடலாசிரியர்களுக்கு ட்யூனை தன் குரலில் பாடி கொடுக்காமல் கீ-போர்டு இசையாக மட்டுமே கேசட்டில் பதிந்து கொடுத்து வந்துள்ளார்.

"சிக்கு புக்கு ரயிலே" பாடலுக்காக அத்தகைய கீ-போர்டு இசை கொண்ட ட்யூன் கேசட்டை கவிஞர் வாலியிடம் எடுத்துச்சென்றுள்ளார் இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர். அதை கேட்ட உடன் வாலி, " என்னய்யா சும்மா ஏதோ ரப்பபப்பா ரப்பப்பா என்று மியூஸிக் மட்டும் வருது, எங்கய்யா ட்யூன்? இந்த மாதிரி இருந்தா பாட்டெழுத முடியாது, போயி ட்யூனை பாடச்சொல்லி வாங்கிட்டு வா" என்று ஷங்கரை திருப்பி அனுப்பியதுடன், ரகுமானிடமும்," இந்த மாதிரி கொடுத்தால் அதை புரிந்து கொண்டு எழுதுவது கஷ்டம்" என்று கூறியுள்ளார். அதன் பின்னர் தான் ரகுமான் ட்யூனை பாடி பாடலாசிரியர்களுக்கு கொடுக்கும் வழக்கத்தை கொண்டுள்ளார்.

சமீபத்தில் நடந்த ஒரு விழாவில் இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர் தெரிவித்த தகவல் இது..........

SS, The Birmingham symphony happened around early 2004 where Rahman Ji had short hair. MJ didn't look like that in 2004, in fact that's the get-up MJ donned when going to the White House in 1984. Very nice editing to whoever done the photoshop :thumbsup:

IRUVAR - the music

(A post by Venkateswaran Ganesan)

The first images that come to mind when I think of Iruvar are Mani Ratnam, Santosh Sivan, Mohanlal and Prakash Raj. The film is a magnificent epic, possibly the ballsiest tribute to cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu. However, the soundtrack for the film was a complete win. AR Rahman has an absolute ball composing the songs, which are a thrilling joy ride and tribute to Tamil cinema’s music. Nevertheless, what is striking is the breadth of genres he has integrated in one album, from Carnatic and light music to jazz. You cannot separate the film from the music and this is more so the case with the monologs, Udal Mannukku, UnnOdu naan irundha (the tambura in the background from 1:48 almost suggesting to us that the love making is sacred) and en arun thOzhanE, which are inseparable from the background score, the language and music haunting us long after we are done watching the film. The re-recording for the film is a huge triumph in itself, adding a lot of sheen to it. The songs nonetheless, as I said, are a class apart and this has to rank among Rahman’s underrated efforts, considering the acclaim his works get across the globe.

The film starts with Narumugaiye, a fascinating peek into the Carnatic by lanes and Rahman’s brain. The hero, a mystic warrior from the old world, starts the song in NAttai. His lady, on cue, begins her part in Gambeera NAttai, possibly goading her man who is a majestic warrior (?) Genius touch! There are strains of Maand and the song, like an illicit lover, does not remain faithful to one raga. This however adds to the romance in the song, which is ethereal.

Hello Mr. Edhirkatchi is a lovely jazz picturized on the archetypical vamp. It is an ode to the typically delightful Viswanathan-Ramamurthy jazz. The piano in the prelude is inspired from Memphis Stomp but the tune is pleasingly ARR. Harini’s vocals glide along the instrumentation seamlessly. And what is it about an entire interlude as a slow rap (?) in chaste Tamil? Madness at midnight in Panchathan Record Inn and Rahman at his wacky best.

Pookodiyin Punnagai is a beautiful tribute to the old world charm in Tamil music. Rendered by Sandhya, P Suseela’s niece, whose voice is a spitting copy of PS, this song assures me that Rahman would have held his own irrespective of the era and that class is not defined by the period but just by class. Minimal yet gorgeous orchestration and emphasis on the lilting tune and lyrics c ould make anyone listening to it for the first time to mistake it for a re-mastered old song.

TMS was famous for imitating the voice of the heroes for whom he sung. Rahman makes Mano admirably imitate TMS imitating MGR in Aayirathil Naan Oruvan, a song inspired in picturization by this absolutely cracking song tuned by MSV. Yes, ARR would have been at home with MGR too! Both songs inspire pure optimism and Aayirathil Naan Oruvan is one of those songs whose appeal is multiplied by fantastic pizturization. Showmanship from Rahman, Mani, Lal and Sivan at its zenith.

Vennila Vennila is another ode to the characteristically seductive and quirky songs of LR Easwari. The extensive use of trumpets adds to the intoxication, which is the word that comes closest to describing the song. The voice of Asha Bhosle adds to the mood, her middling way of pronouncing Tamil being a sore point, which also adds to the enigma in a way.

Kannai Katti KoLLAdhE is my personal favorite. This song is the definition of goosebumps for me, every time I see it. A clear reference to a popular MGR movie, the song signifies revolution, experimentation and brings forth an exhilarating end product. A brilliant jazz as an allusion to the old cinema inspirational songs could not have been thought about by any other composer. What do I praise here? Hariharan’s podi sangathis at Chittu KuruvigaL en Pakkam, or the electric guitar from the second interlude onwards into the charanam which is electrifying? And may I make another mention about the genius of Mani, Sivan and Lal in this song? I must. Thank you. The lyrics fit in with MGR’s image while the tune ironically breaks every rule about a hero-image-Tamil-song and rebels like the Hero typically does. And when Rahman sings Viduthalai along with the chorus, it is freedom from stereotypes, clichés and a clarion call into the world of Rahman.

Rahman in Iruvar reminds me of the two extremes of romanticism and classicism. It is a marvel he finds a mid-path between the twain and makes them meet. Take a bow Rahman!

People don't recognise me much in LA: Rahman

Busy that he is, AR Rahman sure knows how to balance work and family life. He's working on the film Monkeys of Bollywood, and his People Like Us soundtrack releases in June.

Apart from this, he's working on three Tamil projects (with Mani Ratnam, Bharat Bala and Rajinikanth), Yashraj's SRK-Katrina film and has just received an honorary doctorate from Miami University. Yet, when it came to spending time with his kids, papa Rahman wasn't found wanting for time.

The music maestro took time out to take them to Universal Studios on Sunday, and later that night, to chat with NT. Speaking to us from Los Angeles, Rahman said, "The kids had holidays, so there are here in LA. Plus, I had the doctorate and there were a few sessions for Monkeys of Bollywood too, so it all worked out." But, instead of taking them to Disneyland, where most kids want to go, Rahman took them to the studios! "My kids are very happy that I took them there," he said. But how does the Rahman family handle all the attention in public? "My kids are pretty cool," he said. "They know when to hide... they've been trained pretty well. When I am with my family, people tend to give me privacy. They don't ask for photographs or autographs." Though AR claims that he doesn't get recognised much in LA, on Sunday, when he went out, a West African family spotted him - it turned out they were his fans. "They were around 12 people. It was very interesting meeting and speaking to them."
But there's another musical project that Rahman his working on - the script of his own film. He says, "The movie under my own banner is going to take a while. It needs a lot of music implementation and it will be different, but also very exciting. It could take six months or even a year. Sometimes these things take time. They have to come together at the right moment."
There's no dearth of news in his life though. Just a few days ago, pop diva Madonna was quoted as saying that she was keen on working with the Madras magician. But quiz Rahman about it, and all he says is: "It all happened last night when someone sent me that story. It's still Sunday here, so I don't know much about it. I just posted it on Twitter. There's nothing else on it yet."
So how does he balance life spanning across two continents? "I think you learn to manage things when you're that driven. In Chennai, I have my friends, my family and my producers, who are all waiting for their songs. When I am in LA, I work with them on video. So, it all works out." For geniuses, it always does!

Anytime, Madonnaji : AR Rahman

Pop diva Madonna may be on the wishlist of almost every musician, but the songstress has her eyes set on Indian music composer AR Rahman. The singer apparently expressed her wish to work with Oscar-winner in an international interview.

There’s also buzz that it’s not the first time that the singer has admitted to her desire of working with Rahman and the singer on her earlier visit to the country had also apparently spoken about wanting to collaborate with him.

On learning of this, AR Rahman took to the microblogging site Twitter to post a message to Madonna. “Anytime… You are welcome, Madonna ji…,” tweeted Rahman. The musician also posted the link of the online site that said: “According to her Madgesty, it would be a dream come true if she could get in the studio with Oscar-winning singer-composer AR Rahman! Madge explains: ‘I would like to work with him when the opportunity comes, and things work out. Only then we will be able to decide on the music. I haven't heard a lot of Indian music, but I’mfamiliar with it’.”

While Rahman is known to have collaborated with several international names including Michael Bolton and Mick Jagger, Madonna’s strong attraction towards Indian influences is also well-known. In fact, when asked about visiting the country again, in an earlier interview with DNA, Madonna had said, “Oh yes, I would love to come to India. I’msure if I come to perform sometime it’s going to be a great experience.”

It seems Sachin tendulkar attended the concert in Mumbai and also sang a few lines of rehna tu on stage.

One of my friends called me and said that the entire show was great...But the acoustics were rank bad and it was too loud it seems. He also added that Kadhal Rojave in rock style didn't gel well. khwaja and kun faya kun and naadan parindey were great...these were initial reactions..had to call him tomorrow for further details...

Went to D Y Patil stadium to see A R Rahman's concert and he was simply magical. He sang all his top songs for almost 3 hrs.

[A.ANAND]

Rahman magic

The crowds snaked their ways through bad traffic, worse dug up roads just for one man. A.R.Rahman.

Lasers beamed into the still of the night. And the roars went up. The 20,000 crowd packed to the rafters at the DY Patil stadium began chanting for the man of the moment.

Keyboards tweaked, percussion instruments set in sync, Ranjit Barot was ready to lord it all again. Rahman's unobtrusive presence and chocolate tiramisu vocals wove it's magic as he took listeners into a trance.

Adding to the joy was supernova Sachin Tendulkar who complimented Rahman and borrowed a line from Delhi 6 and besides fulsome praise also said "rehna tu hai jaisa tu". Rahman returned the compliment saying, "This guy is the one reason I started watching the game."

It was really A.R.Rahman redux. Watching his spirited rejigging of Kaadhal Rojave, Chaiyyan Chhaiyyan, Hosanna. Good to see old favourite Suresh Peters who jammed in tamil with Chikku Bukku and Pettai rap.

The magic of Rahman pervaded all through the night as he took us through spirited renditions of Qun faya Qun, Khwaja mere khwaja.

The slight tinge of disappointment was Mohit Chauhan who kept missing the beats and was dare we say it, off key while singing Phir ud chala, Jo bhi main. He however regained composure when joined for a lusty rendition of Sadda Haq with the maestro himself.

26th May was yet another red letter day in the corridors of music. A diminutive composer made giant music strides and kept a colossal crowd in thrall.

Magic as they say comes in small packages.

Grand musical night of AR Rahman

He came, he performed, he conquered. AR Rahman showed Mumbai how to rock the night as he ramped up the amp and put up a spectacular musical pageant at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. The show, presented by The Times of India, had the crowd - a rough estimate pegged the headcount at 30,000 - chanting and swaying to the maestro's musical genius.

And if Rahman on stage wasn't enough, you had Sachin Tendulkar and wife Anjali sitting in the audience. There was a break midway through the show when Sachin was invited on stage. "AR Rahman has taken Indian music to a different level, has made it even bigger," said Sachin, as he was gifted a bouquet by Rahman.

"This is guy who made me start watching cricket," laughed the master from Chennai, as the crowd cheered the two icons.

And then there was the music - spectacular and soul-stirring. Rahman led the band of young musicians with his renditions of classics like Dil Se, Kun Faya Kun, Jai Ho and Rubaroo.

The gang of girls - Natalie Di Luccio, Harshdeep Kaur, Neeti Mohan and Shweta Pandit - belted out one hit after another. Mohit Chauhan and Javed Ali set the stage on fire with their sufi and rock numbers from Rockstar.

And it wasn't just Rahman's new hits. Towards the end of the show, Rahman even had his troupe perform some of his classics from south films, like Chikku Bukku Raile from Gentleman.

As the evening drew to a close, and Rahman started singing Vande Mataram to a standing crowd, one could make out that no one's quite like Rahman - so global, yet so Indian. Check out Music Star Homepages

NIYAZ- "Mazaar" featuring AR Rahman (]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT-DSie2rLA&feature=youtu.be)

I don't know what, if anything, ARR contributed to the composition, since it has the Niyaz sound. But I was wondering years ago when ARR and Azam Ali would collaborate on something. She is from Iran, but she spent her childhood in India, so perhaps her Hindi/Urdu is good enough to where she can sing in Hindi films. Her rendition of the Urdu song Allah Hi Allah is pretty good.

Samantha, who is busy with Gautham Menon’s Neethane En Ponvasantham with Jiiva, has been roped in for Shankar’s next big venture.

Aascar Ravichandran will produce the film; PC Sriram will crank the camera and AR Rahman will compose the music.

AR Rahman does Kannada film for free

The Mozart of Madras, AR Rahman, is known for charging exorbitant amounts for his films. So, it came as a surprise that the Oscar-winning composer charged a very nominal fee — reportedly a crore — for the Kannada film Godfather, a remake of the Tamil hit Varalaaru (for which Rahman had scored the music).

Confirming the news, the producer of the film, K Manju, says, "Rahman did not charge a penny for the film. You can say he did it for free as he didn't charge anything for himself. He charged, approximately a crore, only for the studio, artists, instruments, recording and re-recording of the film."

Quiz Manju about why the composer took a pay cut and he replies, "He didn't compose all the tracks from scratch as they were lifted from the Tamil version. So, the majority of the tracks for the film remain the same. He only composed two new tracks. Also, the length of the Kannada footage is slightly shorter than the Tamil version. The other reason is that this is a goodwill gesture on Rahman's part for the Kannada audience."

Some sources in the industry suggest that Rahman slashed his price because he isn't flooded with offers at present. Manju refutes such conjecture, saying, "Rahman cannot sign projects left, right and centre. He has to keep up his quality work. He spent six months working on the music score for Godfather."

The composer, who was in Bangalore for the audio launch of the film on Saturday, said, "I owe a lot to my fans in Karnataka. I realize I have many fans in this part of the country. I'm indebted to them and it was time to sing back to them."

Rahman also reminisced about his days as a music arranger in Bangalore. "I worked with Kannada composers like Hamsalekha and Vijaya Anand as an arranger and visited the Chamundi studios. So there's lot of history in Bangalore and I'm glad to be back here."

Asad Khan Interview with Ar Rahman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM667fg-SZo&feature=youtu.be

[A.ANAND]

One is always in awe of Rahman: Harshdeep Kaur

The 25-year-old singing sensation talks about her new album Ik Onkar, AR Rahman, Sufi music in Bollywood, upcoming projects and more..

'Katiya Karoon' singer Harshdeep Kaur recently released her first spiritual album Ik Onkar, featuring the complete Japji Sahib – the first sacred composition found in the main Sikh Holy Scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.

Currently busy working on the second season of Coke Studio 2, the 25-year-old singing sensation came over to PlanetRadiocity studios to talk about her new album, AR Rahman, Sufi music in Bollywood, career highlights, upcoming projects and more...

Inception and making of Ik Onkar
The idea came after I sang the mul mantar of the Japji Sahab, which is our Sikh prayer, for Rang De Basanti. It became really popular after the film and its music became a success. I started getting request emails from people to sing the whole Japji Sahab—all 40 verses—in the same style.

So I approached the artist who mixed and mastered the music of Rang De Basanti, KJ Singh, who incidentally is my dad’s friend too, and we decided to record it with harmonies.

After 6 years, it’s finally launched (laughs)! We’re very lucky that Rahman sir came to launch this album in Delhi. There really couldn’t have been a better launch.

Key learnings from AR Rahman
Apart from being a musical genius, he’s a great human being. He’s so down to earth that you won’t feel “The AR Rahman” is standing next to you. He won’t let you feel how big a genius he is. He’s extremely spiritual too.

I remember one incident in particular. We were rehearsing for the world tour in America without him, suddenly he joined us and the entire ambience of the rehearsal room changed. It became so spiritual and the vibes were so good. I think it’s his presence and aura. You’re always in awe of him. It’s always like you’re singing for the first time in front of him.

One Rahman song you wish you had sung?
All of them (laughs)! There are so many songs… I like ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ because it’s similar to my voice texture. There’s one Sufi song that he sang, called ‘Menda Yaar Mila De Saiyyan’, I absolutely love that song. I also like ‘Naadaan Parindey’. I can go on (laughs).

Rising popularity of Sufi music in Bollywood
I think it’s not just Sufi music that is rising, it's good music that is rising. If a certain style goes on to become a hit, it ends up becoming a trend of sorts and then people demand more of that. Also, most of the Sufi songs are very soothing and that’s the reason why people like it.

It’s probably not being used in its true sense. It is being molded according to the situation in the film. It can’t be totally spiritual if Salman Khan is singing a song. Then again, ‘Tere Mast Mast Do Nain’ is a typical Bollywood song but at the same time, it’s got beautiful lyrics and is a very soulful composition. So I think it’s the melody of the song or the composition and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan of course that connects with the audience. People relate to it like Sufiyana Bollywood song. So it has some element of Sufi music in it even if it’s not entirely Sufi.

Highlights of your career
The first highlight was the MTV Video Gaga Contest that I won in 2001. Then it was my first playback song that I did for Aapko Pehle Bhi Kabhi Dekha Hai, which was Anubhav Sinha’s second film. Next highlight was singing ‘Ik Onkar’ for Rahman sir in Rang De Basanti. After that I took part in a reality show called Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka in 2008. That was the show that got me lot of fame. People started recognizing me by face.

Year 2010 was full of shows; I became a part of Rahman sir’s world tour in America, UK, Dubai, South Africa, and Singapore. Thanks to Rahman sir, I traveled the entire world (laughs). During that phase, when we were performing in London, sir called me to record something for 127 Hours so that was my first Hollywood project (laughs). He called me to sing for Rockstar. I consider that to be the biggest milestone ever! In between, there was Coke Studio which also came as a big surprise!

Composers you’d like to sing for
I’m a huge fan of Illayraja sir’s music. Also, I’d love to sing for Vishal Bhardwaj.

Upcoming projects
I’ve sung a couple of songs for Amit Trivedi’s Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. I am also working on Coke Studio 2. This time around they’ve tweaked the concept. There are different music directors for each episode. So I have one episode with Amit Trivedi and the other with Hitesh Sonik. The essential difference between the two seasons is that Coke Studio 1 didn’t have many rehearsals actually. One day before the shoot, we just did one sound-tech check. This time the rehearsals have begun well in advance, thank god! (Laughs)

True ! I have a couple Malayalee friends/colleagues and they all can sing to some extent and none of them is formally trained. They keep humming songs most of the time even while working at their desks. They do have a great passion for singing.

Godfather Kannada Songs

A nice trip down memory lane.

Vijay Prakash completely redefines Innisai with Nannede Sruthiyalli. He completely owns the prelude with his konakkol delivery which was last heard in Manmohini Morey. Nannede Sruthiyalli counterpart, Sarigama Sangamave is also notches above the original, an out and out authentic Carnatic number in Raag Hindolam(?). Thala’s divine performance from Varalaru hauntingly still lingers in my mind.

http:// youtube.com/watch?v=6y6bImNAR3o @3:06 onwards :shock:

Laali Laali Amma – I’m missing Rahman Ji, Naresh Iyer falls flat in reaching the high notes provided by Rahman Ji. However the emotion is retained. I’m oblivious to Kannada and Tamil but the chorus line of Laali Laali Amma sounds better to me as it’s easier to sing along to.

Neene Ee Kanna Honganasu – Sorry to say but Chinmayi does a better job than Sadhna mam but Abhay Jodhpurkar doesn’t even come to close SPB. However, he sounds better in the charanams. In hindsight I wish the original duet was by Chinmayi and SPB.

Sanchhari Manasu and Deepavali definitely sound better in Tamil. I’m a sucker for the arrangements for the arrangements in Deepavali, very inspiring work.

Aalapane replaces Ilaimai. It takes more of a melodic route than it predecessor. The respective beats are very Fanaa and Shano Shano-ish. The interlacing flute and acoustic guitar sound very supporting to this techno dance track. It’s really hard to define what genre this song is. It has the sensibilities of Gospel, Soul, and Hip hop. Blaaze is in top form. Warning – The chorus is really intoxicating. I can’t stop humming it.

Overall there’s not much to elaborate on as I hope we’re all familiar with the original. Hearing Godfather in Kannada iterates that Rahman Ji has broken the barriers of language. I think I could hear a Telephone directory set to Rahman Ji’s melody and still thoroughly enjoy it. Godfather definitely is one of Rahman Ji’s most diverse album. You have carnatic, middle eastern/ghazal and a youth anthem.

Rahman Ji who lives in a suitcase these days still conjures up quality music without any compromise. One minute he is collaborating with Iranian artists, one minute he's patrolling the world with his concerts and yet he comes back home to deliver some whopping music. Take a bow brother!

[Sunil_M88]

There are plenty of songs out there by other composers that baffle us into thinking that they’re composed by Rahman Ji. I like this trait of certain MDs and if I didn’t look at the credits then I would definitely pass them as compositions by Rahman Ji. Hats off to these composers! I’m presenting a list of ongs along with the respected MDs. This is a list of the first and foremost songs that come to mind in no particular order.

Jhin Min Jhini from Maqbool (2004) Composer - Vishal Bhardwaj
Kangal Irandal from Subramaniapuram (2008) Composer - James Vasanthan - no way... not his style of composition... neither the tune nor the voice and orchestration.. when i first heard this song, it sounded very similar to 'sutrum vizhi sudare' and more similarities with the sober male voice in both the songs... but ARR not even remotely connected...
Rang Deeni from Dev (2004) Composer - Aadesh Shrivastav
Hum Ko Malum Hai from Jaan-E-Mann (2006) Composer - Anu Malik
Kalangal from Thadaiyara Thakka (2012) Composer - S. Thaman - hav never heard this...

Cheppave Chirugali from Okkadu (2003) Composer - Manisharmae
Kitni Baatein from Lakshya (2004) Composers - Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy
Uruguthey Maruguthey from Veyil (2006) Composer - G. V. Prakash - again no... i think both this and 'un alagukku thaai' u related to it cos of shankar mahadevans singing style similar to his songs with ARR... and the tune here is simple folk as well which ARR mostly does not chose to do...

Sorry if its a repost.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/tamil/news-interviews/TR-STR-and-ARR-to-team-up/articleshow/14056815.cms

Sources say that T Rajendar is contemplating on producing a sequel to Manmadhan starring his son Simbu in the lead role. It is believed that TR is looking to rope in the Oscar winner AR Rahman for this project.

Interestingly, AR Rahman was a key board artiste in T Rajendar's camp during his initial days and hence sources say that he may agree to do the honours. With Rahman having a number of projects lined up, will he be able to take up the offer?

Simbu signs on Rahman!

Lata Srinivasan (http://www.mayyam.com/toireporter/author-Lata-Srinivasan.cms)Lata Srinivasan, TNN | Jun 15, 2012, 12.00AM IST





http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-14126673,width-300,resizemode-4/Simbu-jpg.jpg (http://javascript<strong></strong>:void(0))

The news is not yet official but it's said that AR Rahman has agreed to score the music for Simbu's film. Manmadhan Part 2 (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Manmadhan-Part-2) has been scripted by the actor himself and is a sequel to his hit film, Manmadhan.

It was for Simbu's Vinnaithandi Varuvaya that ARR had scored the music earlier and, in fact, the music still continues to be a rage. A source close to the development reveals to us, "Simbu has had an initial meeting with Rahman and is all set to work with him. They will be meeting again to finalise other aspects."

If the two come together for this project, it will be new pairing in Kollywood as the collaboration for Simbu (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Simbu) is more than just acting. For Manmadhan Part 2, Simbu will also apparently be writing the lyrics as well producing and directing the film. And he is all set to reprise a double role. Manmadhan, released in 2004, starred Simbu in a double role and was a romantic thriller. The actor also directed that film.

Singer srinivas On A.R.Rahman
It was while watching the screening of the Mani Ratnam film Roja
in 1992 that the singer was introduced to the musical talent of AR
Rahman, and the two have shared a special relationship since. “Being an
ardent Ilaiyaraja fan, I was blown away by the sheer talent of Rahman
when I first heard the songs of Roja, and thought then itself that this man could emerge as a worthy competitor to the maestro,” he recalls with pride.

“My first song composed by Rahman was Mel Isaiye… for the Prabhu Deva-starrer Mr Romeo,
and he has been my pillar of strength for the last eighteen years.
Rahman gives an artist complete freedom to explore his range, and is
responsible for my growth as a playback singer in this film industry,”
the Minsara Poove… singer says admiringly.

A recipient of several awards, a couple of awards are of special
significance for Srinivas. “Winning the Tamil Nadu State Award for Minsara Poove…
is the most special, more so because the great MS Vishwanathan was the
chairman of the Awards committee when I was considered for the award.
Winning his approval is bigger than winning a National Award in my
book,” Srinivas says. Srinivas talks about winning the Kerala State
Award for his song Baansuri… in the same breath. “Being a
Tamilian, it was heartwarming to receive a Kerala State Award for a
Malayalam song that I’d done. It was a special composition by Ramesh
Narayan, and felt extremely rewarding,” he admits.

ஏ. ஆர். ரஹ்மான் - ஒரு ஆச்சர்யம் (பகுதி இரண்டு)

ஏ ஆர் ரஹ்மான் அவர்களைப் பற்றி ஒரு கட்டுரை எழுதவேண்டும் என ஆரம்பித்து, அது எங்கோ சென்று அவரது பாடல்களில் என்னைக் கவர்ந்த பாடல்களின் தொகுப்பாக அந்தக் கட்டுரை முடிந்து போனது. ஓர் இரு நாட்கள் கழித்து அந்த கட்டுரையை படித்தபோது எதற்கும் பயனற்ற ஒன்றாகவே அது தோன்றியது. எழுத ஆரம்பித்த நோக்கத்தை சரி செய்து கொள்ள மறுபடியும் அதன் தொடர்ச்சியாக இதை எழுதுகிறேன். (முதல் பாகத்தை படிக்காதவர்கள் அதை படிக்கத்தேவயில்லை என ஆணித்தரமாக தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்)


சமீபத்தில் ரஹ்மான் அவர்களது ஒரு பழைய செவ்வியை யூடியூபில் பார்க்க முடிந்தது. 1995 இல் திரு பி ஹெச் அப்துல் ஹமீதினால் எடுக்கப்பட்ட செவ்வி, என்னை ஆச்சர்யத்தில் ஆழ்த்தியது. இருபத்தி ஆறு அல்லது இருபத்தி எழு வயதே நிரம்பிய ரஹ்மானின் முதிர்ச்சியும் இசை, சமூகம் தொடர்பான அவரது பார்வையும் என்னை வெகுவாக பாதித்தது. தமிழ் திரையிசை ரசிகர்கள் மத்தியில் ரஹ்மான் மிகவும் பிரபலம் அடைந்த காலம் அது, அந்த இளம் வயதில் கிட்டிய அதிகப்படியான பிரபல்யத்தையும் நட்ச்சத்திர அந்தஸ்தையும் ரஹ்மான் கையாண்ட விதம் அவர் மீது பெரும் மரியாதையை ஏற்படுத்தியது. தமிழ் திரையிசையை புரட்டிப்போட்ட ஒரு இசை சக்கரவர்த்தியாக ரசிகர்கள் அவரை கொண்டாடியபோது அவரது அடக்கமும், அவரது இசை முன்னோடிகள் மீது அவர் கொண்டிருந்த மரியாதையும் வியக்கவைத்தது. இன்று ரஹ்மானின் அடையாளங்களுள் ஒன்றாக மாறிப்போன இந்த குணவியல்புகள் அவரது சிறு வயது முதல்கொண்டே அவரிடம் இருந்துவந்தது என்பது ஆச்சரியம் தந்தது.


தனது பதின் மூன்றாம் வயதுமுதல் குடும்ப பாரத்தை சுமக்கத்தொடங்கிய ரஹ்மான், குழைந்தைப் பருவம் தனக்கு கிட்டவில்லை என்பதை சமித்திய செவ்வி ஒன்றில் கூறியிருந்தார். சிறு வயது முதல் பெரியவர்களுடன் பழகியதும் குடும்பப் பாரம், தொழில்சிந்தனை என்பனவும் தன்னை முதிர்ச்சிப்படுத்தியதாக கூறியிருந்தார். ஒரு சாதாரண சிறுவன் அனுபவிக்க நினைக்கும் எந்த கேளிக்கையும் இவரது வாழ்வில் இருந்ததில்லை, குழந்தை பருவத்தை முற்றிலும் தொலைத்துவிட்ட ஒரு வாழ்க்கை, அந்த ஏக்கத்தை முழுவதும் தனது இசையில் செலுத்தியிருக்கிறார் என்பதற்கு இவர் உருவாக்கிய இசையே சாட்சி. தாயார் மீது அதீத பாசம் கொண்டிருக்கும் ரஹ்மானின் தாலாட்டு இசையில் அந்த பாசம் மேலோங்கித் தெரியும். "என்னாத்தா பொன்னாத்தா", "அழகு நிலவே", "உயிரும் நீயே" போன்ற பாடல்கள் அந்த பாசத்தின் வெளிப்பாடாகவே தோன்றும்.





ரஹ்மானிடம் என்னை மிகவும் ஆச்சரியப்பட வைத்த ஒரு விடயம், தனது இசைப் பயணத்தின் ஏற்ற இறக்கங்களை அவர் கையாண்ட விதம். ரோஜா என்ற இசையினை வழங்கி தனது முதல் திரைப்படத்திலேயே தேசியவிருத்தையும் பெற்ற ரஹ்மான், ரோஜாவின் பிற்பாடு தன்னிடம் எந்த இசையுமே எஞ்சியிருக்கவில்லை என நினைத்ததாக கூறுகிறார். தன்னால் ஒரு இசையமைப்பாளராக நிலைத்திருக்க முடியாது என எண்ணியதாக கூறுகிறார். அந்த ஒரு நிலைமை ஒவ்வொரு படைப்பாளியின் வாழ்விலும் ஏற்படக்கூடியது, படைப்பு வறட்சி ஏற்பட்ட பின்னர் அதிலிருந்து மீண்டு வருவதென்பது சாதாரண விடயமில்லை, ரஹ்மான் இதனை ஒருதடவயல்ல இரு தடவைகள் செய்தது காட்டியிருக்கிறார். ஒவ்வொரு தடவையும் முன்பை விட வீரியத்துடனும் வீச்சத்துடனும் இருக்கிறது அவரது எழுச்சி. ரோஜாவில் அனைவரது கவனத்தையும் கவர்ந்த ரஹ்மான், அதன் பின்னர் வந்த திரைப்படங்கள் மூலம் தமிழ் திரையிசையின் ஒட்டுமொத்த அடையாளமாக மாறினார். இரண்டாயிரத்திற்கு பிற்பட்ட காலத்தில் மறுபடியும் ஒரு வறட்சியை எதிர்கொண்ட ரஹ்மான், மீள வந்தபோது முழு இந்தியாவினதுமே திரையிசை அடையாளமாக இனம்காணப்பட்டார்.


ரஹ்மானின் வலக்கரமாக இருந்த சாஹுல் ஹமீதின் மரணத்தின் பின்னர் ரஹ்மான் இனி இல்லை என்றே பலரும் எண்ணினார்கள், அதையும் தகர்த்து ஹிந்தி திரையுலகத்தில் கால் பதித்தார் ரஹ்மான். தனது ஆஸ்தான சவுண்ட் இஞ்சினியர் ஸ்ரீதர் அவர்களது மரணத்தின் பின்னர் ரஹ்மானது இசை எவ்வாறு ஒலிக்கப்போகிறது என பலரும் எதிர்பார்த்தபோது விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வருவாயா, எந்திரன் போன்ற ஹை டெக் இசையினை வழங்கினார். சிறு வயதிலிருந்தே இழப்புக்களை சந்தித்து வந்த ரஹ்மானுக்கு இழப்புக்களில் இருந்து மீண்டு வருவது எவ்வாறு என்பது நன்றாகவே தெரிந்திருந்தது. வாழ்க்கை மீது அவருக்கு இருந்த அலாதியான புரிதலே இதை சாத்தியமாக்கியது எனலாம்.


சமுதாயம் தொடர்பான ரஹ்மானது பார்வை மிகவும் ஆழமானது. இசை என்பதில் நல்ல இசை மோசமான இசை என இரு வகை இருப்பதாக ரஹ்மான் கூறுகிறார். ஒரு இசையினை கேட்டபின்னர் அது உங்களுக்கு மன அமைதியை அல்லது உற்சாகத்தை தருகிறது எனில் அது நல்ல இசை, அதுவே மனிதனது கறுப்புப் பக்கத்தை தூண்டிவிடும் எனில் அது மோசமான இசை என்பதே ரஹ்மான் கூறுவது. ரஹ்மான் எப்போதும் நல்ல இசையினை வழங்குவதிலேயே கவனம் செலுத்தியிருக்கிறார் என்பது எனது ஆழமான நம்பிக்கை. அன்றாடம் வாழ்கையில் காணப்படும் அம்சங்கள் சமூக நலன் சார்ந்ததாக மாறவேண்டும் என்பது ரஹ்மானது கருத்து. பத்திரிகைகள் விறுவிறுப்பான செய்திகளுக்கும் கொலை, கொள்ளை, கற்பழிப்பு, விபத்துக்கள், கிசுகிசுக்கள் போன்ற சென்சேஷனல் விடயங்களுக்கும், அதிக முக்கியத்துவம் குடுப்பதை கடுமையாக கண்டிக்கிறார். 1950இல் இருந்ததிலிருந்து 2010இல் குற்றங்கள் அதிகளவில் அதிகரிக்கவில்லை என்பது ரஹ்மானது கருத்து. ஊடகங்களில் முன்னிறுத்தப்படும் செய்த்திகளின் அடிப்படையிலேயே அவ்வாறான ஒரு உலகம் கட்டமைக்கப் படுவதாக அவர் நினைக்கிறார்.





நவீன வீடியோ கேம்களில் விபத்து ஏற்படுத்துவதும் ரத்தக்காயம் ஏற்பட வைப்பதும் ஒரு சென்சேஷன் ஆக மாறி விட்டிருப்பதையும் கண்டிக்கிறார். என் குழந்தைகளுக்கு அவ்வாறான கேம்களை விளையாட அனுமதிக்க மாட்டேன் என ரஹ்மான் கூறுகிறார். (இந்த கூற்று இன்சைட் மேன் படத்தில் ஒரு காட்சியாக அமைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும், அந்த படத்தில் ஆரம்ப மற்றும் இறுதி இசையாக ரஹ்மானது தைய தையா இடம்பெற்றிருக்கும் என்பதும் கூடுதல் தகவல்). ரஹ்மான் ஒருபோதும் தனது அடையாளத்தை விட்டுக்கொடுத்ததில்லை. எங்கே சென்றாலும் தான் தமிழன் என்பதிலும் இந்தியன் என்பதிளிலும் அலாதி பெருமை கொண்டிருக்கக்கூடியவர். அவரை தொடர்ந்து கவனித்து வருபவர்களுக்கு தெரியக்கூடிய ஒரு விடயம், உடலலங்காரங்களிலோ சிகை அலங்காரத்திலோ அதிக கவனம் செலுத்தாத ரஹ்மான் சமீபத்தில் தன்னை முற்றிலும் மாற்றிக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறார். இது பற்றி ஒரு செவ்வியில் என்னை ஒரு இந்தியனாக உலகம் பார்க்கும்போது நான் இவற்றில் கவனம் செலுத்தவேண்டி இருக்கிறது என கூறுகிறார்.

மனித உறவுகள் பற்றி ரஹ்மானின் முகநூலில் பதியப்பட்ட ஒரு செய்தி பின்வருமாறு விரிகிறது "ஒருபோதும் அவசராட்டு முடிவுகளை எடுக்காதீர்கள், குறிப்பாக மனிதர்களை பற்றி. எப்போதும் ஒருவிடயத்திற்கு இன்னொரு பக்கமும் இருக்கும், ஒரு நல்ல பக்கம். நாம் எப்போதும் ஒரு மனிதரையோ, இடத்தையோ, கலை வடிவத்தையோ அல்லது ஒருநிறுவனத்தையோ அதன் அழகையும் பெறுமதியையும் பார்பதற்கான வழிமுறையை தேடிக்கொள்ளவேண்டும். நாம் ஒவ்வொருவரதும் பிரச்சினையில் பாதியாவது நாம் இன்னொருவர்வர் பற்றி அவசர முடிவுகளை எடுக்கதிருப்பதனால் தீர்த்துக்கொள்ளலாம்" கேளிக்கை வணிகத்தில் இருக்கும் எவரிடமும் ரஹ்மானிடம் இருக்கும் நுண்ணியமான சமுதாய பார்வையினை நான் பார்த்ததில்லை.


ரஹ்மான் அவர்கள் நேரத்தை எவ்வாறு திட்டமிட்டு செலவழிக்கிறார் என்பது தொடர்பான ஒரு செவ்வியை கட்டுரை வடிவில் மிகச் சமீபத்தில் படிக்கக் கிடைத்தது. இருபது நிமிடங்களுக்கு மேல் அவர் எந்த ஒரு விடயத்திலும் தேங்கி இருப்பதில்லை என ரஹ்மான் கூறுகிறார். படைப்பாளியாக ஒரு விடயம் சரியாக அமையாதபோது நாள் கணக்கில் அதில் தேங்கியிருக்கும் மனிதர்கள் பலரை பார்த்திருக்கிறோம், அவ்வாறு தேங்கி இருப்பது ஒரு வகையான வலிந்து திணிக்கப்பட்ட படைப்பினையே தரும் எனவும் அழகியலுக்கு ஒத்துவராது எனவும் அவர் கூறுகிறார். இருபது நிமிட வேலை பின்னர் சிறிதாக ஒரு இடைவேளை என்பது அவரது பாணி. ஒரு பரபரப்பான இசையமைப்பாளராக ரஹ்மான் குடும்பத்துக்காக எவ்வாறு நேரம் ஒதுக்குகிறார் என்கிற ஒரு கேள்விக்கு ரஹ்மான் அளித்த பதிலே என்னை மிகவும் ஆச்சரியப் பட வைத்தது.





ஒரே சமயத்தில் இசையிலும் குடும்பத்திலும் ஒரே அளவான கவனம் செலுத்துவது தனக்கு சாத்தியமானதல்ல என்கிறார். 2011 இல் தனது ஓய்வுக்கான காரணமும் அதுதான் என்கிறார் ரஹ்மான். தனது மகளுக்கு இருதய சத்திர சிகிச்சை செய்யப்பட்டதாகவும் மகளுக்காக நேரம் செலவழிக்க வேண்டும் என்பதற்காகவுமே இசையினை தள்ளி வைத்ததாக ரஹ்மான் கூறுகிறார். இன்றைய நிலையில் தொட்டதெல்லாம் பொன்னாகும் அளவு போர்மில் இருக்கும் ரஹ்மான் குழந்தைக்காக தனது இசையை ஒத்திவைத்தது சாதாரணமாக தோன்றினாலும் அந்த நிலையை அடைய எவ்வளவு பக்குவம் வேண்டும் என்பது பணத்துக்கும் புகழுக்குமாக வாழ்கையை தொலைத்துவிட்ட மனிதர்களை அண்றாடம் சந்திக்கும் பலருக்கு தெரிந்திருக்கும்.


நல்ல கணவராக, நல்ல தந்தையாக, நல்ல மகனாக, நல்ல குடிமகனாக ரஹ்மானின் அனைத்து பரிணாமங்களும் எப்போதும் என்னை ஆச்சரியத்தில் ஆழ்திக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது. எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் மேலாக எப்பொழுதும் அவருடன் ஒன்றியிருக்கும் அந்த வசீகர புன்னகையும்.


Yes, you have all the talent but the most important equipment that you need to have in order to begin the long climb is a very simple device called a ‘Smile’. Just wear it and you will see how smiles get converted to miles! - A.R Rahman


டிஸ்கி: ரஹ்மானை பற்றி எழுத ஆரம்பித்தால் அதற்க்கு ஒரு முடிவு கிட்டாது போலும். எனவே இத்துடன் நிறுத்திக்கொள்கிறேன். நேரம் கிட்டினால் கண்டிப்பாக ரஹ்மானின் முகநூல் பக்கத்தில் பதிவு செய்யப்பட மயாமி பல்கலைக்கழக டாக்டர் பட்ட ஏற்புரையை இங்கு கிளிக்கி படிக்கவும்.

EXCLUSIVE: A.R. Rahman to compose track for Danny Boyle’s Olympics opening ceremony

EXCLUSIVE: A.R. Rahman to compose track for Danny Boyle’s Olympics opening ceremony

"It's one of the songs for the opening ceremony. It's a secret," he told IFC.
Movies Posted June 27th, 2012, 5:06 PM by Terri Schwartz
A.R. Rahman has made a name for himself in Hollywood working with Danny Boyle. Their first collaboration on 2008′s “Slumdog Millionaire” won Rahman two Oscars including Best Original Score and Best Song (“Jai Ho”). When they teamed up two years later for “127 Hours,” Rahman was again nominated in both categories. Rahman won’t be working on Boyle’s next film, “Trance,” but they are taking their collaborative process to the big leagues.

During a phone interview while promoting his most recently Hollywood score in “People Like Us,” Rahman exclusively revealed to IFC that he would be composing part of the score Boyle is using in the 2012 summer Olympics.

“I’m already doing a track for him for the Olympics. You’re the first person to know!” Rahman said when we asked if he thought he and Boyle would work together in the future. “It’s one of the songs for the opening ceremony. It’s a secret.”

Boyle’s preparations for the opening ceremony have been the subject of much media attention in recent weeks. The $42 million (£27 million), three hour long extravaganza will be called “Isles of Wonder” and is inspired by Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” Paul McCartney has already confirmed his involvement in the production, and the electronic band Underworld will be writing original music for the opening ceremony as well. Underworld composed the music for Boyle’s stage version of “Frankenstein,” which was performed at the Royal National Theatre in 2011.

Though Rahman isn’t working with Boyle on his next film, he told IFC that he has faith they’ll collaborate on another movie in the future.

“I think ‘Trance’ is being worked by his composer who did ‘Trainspotting,’ and I felt good that he was going back to the original composer, but I would give my heart [to work with him],” Rahman said with a laugh. “I think we’ll be working together in the future.”

“People Like Us” is due in theaters this Friday. Tune in later this week for the rest of our interview with Rahman.

The significance K and M in Rahman Ji’s life.

[ajaybaskar]

Kelaamal is one song which I listen every 5,6 days. Underrated gem

[Sunil_M88]

I feel like a turd head when I leave out such numbers from these hearty lists. Kelaamal is one song I regret not listening to a much and it definitely deserves to be in the list. Thanks Anna :thumbsup:

[Sunil_M88]

Mazaar is the latest addition to the list http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthread.php?2928-ARR-as-a-singer&p=894559&viewfull=1#post894559

[Ramakrishna]

At IIFA, ARR announced the best actor award for Ranbir Kapoor in tamil. And there are people here who call him tamil drohi :)

[Sunil_M88]

That's super news Rama, is there a vid link for this

NDTV reported - After the applause actors Kamal Haasan and Sharathkumar got wherever they went in Singapore and the enthusiasm of watching Shahid Kapoor dance to South Indian songs, everyone decided to try out Tamil in their announcements. First Rahman Ji cheekily revealed the Best Actor's name in Tamil, then co-presenter Rekha took the cue and made another remark in the same language. Then, when Sridevi was called upon to present the Best Film award, she also meekly talked in her mother tongue. The audience was maha-impressed.

For those who think Rahman Ji is a Thamizh Drohi - I don't know any other MD was approached for Senmozhi, Rahman put everything in that song, it's my fav single of his compared to CWG and Toyota :clap: He wanted Senmozhi to be special and the result is more than special. Eagerly awaiting his Punjabi track for London 2012.

The True Indian :salute:

we are so gullible :lol2: hope he doesn't stop with these inane tamil speeches but extends his tamil patronage by signing more movies in tamil with lesser known/newbie directors

[Mahen]

He has more tamil films in hand right now..

AR RAHMAN WITH OBAMA

wow... first time am seeing... cool..

[NOV]

and even if does not do another single thamizh film for the rest of his life, it wouldn't make him any less a proud thamizhan

[MADDY]

^looks staged..was it necessary :huh: whoever may be the detractors..this act lends credence to their argument.

singapore has huge tamil presence - it was nice of him to talk in tamil there.......it did make sense and grabbed the moment - isnt this what rahman is known for besides his music :-)

[SoftSword]

varungaala janaadhibadhi Ragumaan vaazhga :clap:

At IIFA, ARR announced the best actor award for Ranbir Kapoor in tamil. And there are people here who call him tamil drohi :)
The idol of one of those kind in the hub was also there on the same rewards function promoting 'indhi' stuff. :lol2: HypocrisymbaaingaLE..

PS: Not being judgemental. avaravar paNam / avaravar business etc.

How many of us here have been fortunate enough to spend times with Rahman Ji in our dreams?

I remember 3 such times and that too at the most of random places.

1. at the airport
2. playing video games
3. at my college on my lunch break

Will elaborate on each point later. Please share your experiences :D

Lucky you :D
1. at the airport

From whatever vague memories I do have, I certainly remember walking amongst gigantic speakers (Guliver's travels) which made me feel like an ant. I saw Rahman Ji from a distance sitting in the corner on the floor conversing with my dad’s brother and brother in-law. I think I was too shy to approach him and in the end he didn’t even notice me. I woke up thinking what a waste of a dream, but I will always cherish it as it is the first recollection I have of seeing him.

2. playing video games

We were playing Crash Team Racing early in the morning for hours and hours. Considering that we were playing for a long time, I didn’t manage to squeeze in any question WRT music as we were too engaged in the game play.

3. at my college on my lunch break

I was walking with him underneath the bridge in an area called Hendon Central, we went to my regular chicken and chips shop and ordered a hefty meal lol we did not chat about music as such. I think I asked him if he would be interested in listening to some of my work and he did not respond but I do clearly remember him saying, “Believe in yourself!” and then he walked off with his laptop bag.

I have been lucky to recall these 3 times, though with this opportunity of a dream it could’ve been more exciting.

I’m just happy I visited his concert (2010) and I vow that I will attend most of his concerts if not all when he comes to London.

சென்னை: பரங்கிமலை தர்காவில் நடந்த உரூஸ் விழாவில் இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் சிறப்புப் பிரார்த்தனை நடத்தி சந்தன குடம் எடுத்தார்.
சென்னை பரங்கிமலை ராணுவ அலுவலர் பயிற்சி மையத்துக்கு எதிரில் அமைந்துள்ளது ஹஸரத் சையத் ஷா அலி மஸ்தான் ஷமன் ஷா அலி தர்கா. மிகவும் புகழ்பெற்ற இந்த தர்காவில் 128-ம் ஆண்டு சந்தன முபாரக் உரூஸ் திருவிழா நடைபெற்றது. கடந்த 28-ந் தேதி கொடியேற்றத்துடன் தொடங்கிய இந்த விழாவில், நேற்று முன்தினம் மாலை சந்தன குடம் ஊர்வலம் நடைபெற்றது.
ஆலந்தூரின் முக்கிய வீதிகளில் இந்த சந்தன குடம் ஊர்வலமாக சென்று வந்தது. சந்தன குடம் ஊர்வலம் தர்காவிற்கு வந்ததும் பிரபல இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் தனது தலையில் சந்தன குடத்தை சுமந்து ஊர்வலத்துடன் சென்றார்.

அதைத்தொடர்ந்து சிறப்பு பிரார்த்தனைகள் நடத்தப்பட்டன. இதில் இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் தனது தாய் மற்றும் சகோதரிகளுடன் கலந்து கொண்டு சிறப்பு பிரார்த்தனை செய்தார்.

[ajaybaskar]

May be there is a bit of contribution by ARR. If my guess is right, ARR may have voiced in the chant used as the film's theme music. Zimmer has thanked 100s of musicians on the label and ARR is one of them.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Here's the pic of the soundtrack cover...Another name to note is that of Shalini Singh alias Pop Shalini....
