The concert will feature 80 performers, the music maestro’s latest super hits, and include India’s top singers and performers such as Hariharan, Sivamani, Sadhana Sargam, Blaaze, Benny Dayal, amongst other celebrated artistes.
MARG Swarnabhoomi is promoted by New Chennai Township Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MARG Ltd. The project has two Special Economic Zones (SEZs) for engineering and multi-services sectors along with R&D facilities and an integrated township. Since the launch in 2008, Swarnabhoomi has in place the basic infrastructure — BVM Global Residential School is operational, and over 600 residential apartments, of the 15,000 planned, are scheduled to be completed and handed over shortly.

RR, Music Man, welcome...
Expecting reviews/pics from Ajay/Maddy/LM & Co....
received a SMS from my friend, the concert is rocking, and Mass attendance :smokesmirk: :smokesmirk: he is almost arai kilometer far from stage 8-) Kalakkunga Thalaivare ! :victory:
expecting a detail review from Lm,ajay,and other devotees :P
just an ok concert.. worst organization .. it was total chaos for people who were seated from 200-1000.. it had its moments.. but too many hindi songs.. i kinda didnt like it :-(
AND CRAPPY SPEAKERS ALL AROUND :banghead:
Same feelings here :(
i would've better driven to hyd on 24th instead of attending this one. They had mentioned that the venue was near mahabalipuram but maha'ram was just a half way mark. The organisers are to be slammed.
The sound system was disappointing. People who had attended the earlier concerts would know this.
I was very much annoyed after reaching the venue bcoz even after paying 500 bucks, we were unable to sit for sometime. After half an hour's wait, we got our seats.
But all this was made to forget when Thalaivar & co played Mausam & escape. Wow!! That was class.
Yes. There were too many hindi songs. But i dont complain. Kozhi kurudaa irundhaalum kuzhambu rusiya irundha podhadha????
all those who should have travelled to-fro pondy-chennai on ECR road yesterday must have become IR fans by now :lol: ........ECR got f**** royally with this concert and it took us almost 4 hrs from chennai to reach the place........and they didnt have the logistics for 70k crowd and 15k cars.......they didnt have the speakers or repeaters(or watever u call it) for such a huge gathering.......
i think the oscar win has multiplied his fame, i saw many many families attending this show.....for many of them it must have been their first rahman concert, hope they come back :) ........as usual, north indian families, guys, girls reaction were over the top - some very good looking girls were dancing standing on top of the "savukku" barricades :lol: ........rahman andha ore mana dhidathha paaratti neraya hindhi songs-a pottu tamil makkala kaduppaakkittaaru.......people were desparately shouting to get a tamil song played :( ..............speakers were rank bad - the speakers through which the rythm had to come - didnt come.....,,,worst affected were almost all the songs with glaring inclusion of adhiradeekaaran........rythm illama andha paattu onnume illaye :) ...........for "frequent concerters" like LM and to a extent me,ram,ajay - the list of songs were pretty much same as last time.........for many, concerts for a particular artiste are just once in lifetime affairs, hopefully rahman sir takes note of these things and takes event management under his own supervision........
having said all these, the energy levels associated with rahman concert was still there.......its a great feeling to be with 69999 people who also think rahman and get turned on by a song which actually turned you on..........yesterday's concert broke my assumptions on female following of rahman - they just freaked out :lol: ........45 yr old tamil aunty trying to dance to a hindi song, 70 yr old bengali old man trying desparately to catch glimpse of rahman, hysterical north indies families, fanatical display of emotions to thalaivar's songs are some of the things i would like to remember from this concert :D
most of his concert-la tamil songs kammi aaki ,hindi songs than thalaivar athigam podararu! :oops:
oru 30,000 makkal attend panni irupangala??
it was 70,000, Anand :D ......very huge gathering -- unbelievable.... :D
rahman was put in a crane and he came upto 10k stands i believe.......he also started with traces of "hello" song from VTV(the one that got leaked in net with simbhu dancing with trisha) 8-) ....it was heavenly :D
Anand,
Official figure is 70,000 people. Not less than 50,000, in my estimate.
Rahman charms crowd with melodies
[html:625d21fba7]http://i38.tinypic.com/a2auc3.jpg[/html:625d21fba7]
Bottles, chairs, palms and even shoes... everything carried a musical connotation on Sunday evening when all roads led to Mahabalipuram for one of its largest and passion-driven music performances, A.R. Rahman’s first-ever in Chennai after his Oscar win, at Marg Swarnabhoomi near Kalpakkam on Sunday and for a cause.
The event, billed as a crowd-puller, drew thousands of Rahman’s fans and pulsated to the Oscar-winner’s music.
Before Rahman hit the stage on the overfed grounds, the crowd rehearsed their jig to gyrate to his music.
As the performer made a dramatic entry by appearing from a glittery box, the audience pumped their fists into the air and the excitement was more than palpable.
‘Kalpali,’ a song from Rang De Basanti served as a laidback starter. He went on with a a couple of hits from Shivaji and clearly it seemed to be the wisest choice.
Bollywood buffs were treated lavishly by singers Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam and Benny Dayal.
After rocking fast numbers, a series of melody, rock and crossover hits followed. As the evening grew thicker, raucousness was clearly in the air. When Rahman sung the ‘Adhiradhi dhan’ from Shivaji, the crowd’s cheers nearly drowned his voice out.
Tamil songs were clearly the winners of the evening. Yet, it was Hindi melodies that carried the emotional resonance. With an apparent relish, Rahman led the way for many others singers who belted his all-time hits.
The troupes swayed the crowd with melodies but later switched gears to alternate between racy numbers and evergreen hits. Both had equal takers. Guys and girls tapped their foot in sync for the music on stage.
Rahman’s characteristic way of acknowledging the frenzied crowd with an unruffled nod was enough to crank up the volume of his fans’ vocal chords. He strutted around the stage very little.
An intense performer, Rahman showed no signs of weariness and his smile stuck to him till he rounded off the show.
woooooooooooow!70,000 :omg: superstar-rukku kuda evvalo kootam varathu pola iruke!unblievable!naan kuda oru 20,000 or 25,000 than varuvangga innu nenachen,but 70,000 :shock: really surprised!
