 Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
A.R. Rahman asked to tweak CWG theme song Posted by IANS-CT in Bollywood
New Delhi, Aug 21 (Calcutta Tube)
Oscar winner A.R. Rahman is ready with the Commonwealth Games theme song but the Group of Ministers (GoM) on the Games has asked the composer to tweak it before the opening ceremony.
‘I presented the theme song before the GoM and it was approved. I have been asked to tweak it and it will be released within next 10 days,’ Rahman told reporters here. ‘I think it won’t be good to release the theme song without making the necessary changes,’ he said when asked about the song. Beginning with the words ‘Oh yaaro, India bula liya’ (Friends, we have called you to India), the song is composed mostly in Hindi with a sprinkle of English. While Rahman will be the lead singer of the theme song, there will be other songs as well for the Commonwealth Games, including one dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and another to the ‘key of knowledge’. ‘The song is about India, about energy, winning and not giving up. We want the crowd to sing along with us at the opening ceremony. It is simple but not simplistic,’ he said. Asked how different it was from Shakira’s popular football World Cup anthem ‘Waka Waka’, Rahman said: ‘It is not ‘Waka Waka’. We wanted to go beyond it. It is complex, difficult to explain but I am sure you will like it when you hear it.’ Rahman said he was initially apprehensive about whether the GoM would like the song. ‘I was a little bit apprehensive if they will like it because the GoM consists of aged people but they all liked and approved it,’ he said. Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi and filmmaker Shyam Benegal, who is a member of the core committee of the Commonwealth Games, were present on the occasion. The GoM chaired by Urban Development Minister S.Jaipal Reddy met for the first time Sunday after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh intervened to take stock of the much-criticised preparations for the Oct 3-14 Games. The three-hour long GoM meeting also discussed other details related to the opening ceremony besides giving approval to the theme song composed by Rahman.

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
 Tutor Rahman sets new goal!PRITHWISH GANGULY, TNN, Aug 24, 2010, 'Rahman wants to relocate India’s only international standard music conservatory to a bigger location'; Double Oscar -winning composer AR Rahman has ambitious plans to expand his state-of-the-art music conservatory in Chennai.
We have learned from highly placed sources associated with the facility that provides classical music education to students, that Rahman is keen to move the institute to a much bigger campus. What’s most interesting about the development is that Rahman is expected to approach the government of Tamil Nadu to help him take his dream project to the next level.
A reliable informer reveals, “Rahman’s institute has already been garnering a lot of acclaim globally and there are requests to expand the institute so that more courses can be started or more students can be admitted for the courses that are already available. Even people from out of India have expressed their desire to learn music there. Rahman also provides free education to 30 underprivileged yet talented students and he wants to lend out his helping hand to more such individuals.”
The source adds, “The current location, though it has enough space for the time-being, will not be sufficient for all the aspirations that Rahman has. He is toying with the idea of moving to a new and a bigger location with a bigger faculty including international heavyweights as guest lecturers. For this, he would definitely need the help of the state government. The Tamil Nadu government has time and again reportedly expressed its desire to help the Mozart of Madras in whatever way it can. And might be very keen to join hands with Rahman for this good cause.”

| Will Rahman win Oscar again? | IndiaGlitz Thursday, August 26, 2010 |
|  |  The winning combo is at it again. Ace filmmaker Danny Boyle and Mozart of Madras A R Rahman, whose alliance in ‘SlumDog Millionaire’ fetched various international honours, including the Oscars, will work together again. Though there is no official announcement in this regard yet, a teaser trailer of the film titled ‘127 Hours’, which was released recently, reveals that Rahman is the music composer of the project. And not just Danny Boyle and Rahman, screenplay writer Simon Beaufoy, who was also part of the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ team, is working in this film, which is expected to hit the screens November this year. Meanwhile, circles close to Rahman say he is planning to take the music conservatory he is running in Chennai to the next level. “For that, he may move to a bigger campus which would accommodate more students,” they add. |

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Printed from Music cleanses the soul: RahmanTNN, Aug 28, 2010, <>var facebookktitle='Music cleanses the soul: Rahman';var facebooksyn='AR Rahman talks to TOI about the language of universe and love that’s also his connect to God.'; AR Rahman talks to TOI about the language of universe and love that's also his connect to God.
I am often asked about my favourite composition and whether I consider Jai Ho to be my best work so far. I think that it's not so much to do with it being the best, but with it being the best at that moment in the film. It's instances like these that make me believe in the power of universe. And when the right things happen at the right time, is when your faith in something is reinforced many times more.
Music is powerful too, because it does what no religion or politics has been able to do... It brings together people and unites them. You will never see a music-lover have favourites based on the singer's religion or the language. Music is the language of universe and love. It connects a person to the soul and this soul to other souls. So, I believe in the divinity of music. I also believe in Sufism and that the music has the power to cleanse the soul. So, am I religious? Yes. Am I spiritual? Yes. There's God in each one of us, no matter what the religion and I respect that divinity present in each one of us. When I pray, it's not only for myself. I pray for peace for everyone.
I am also a firm believer in destiny. But more than destiny, I believe in prayers. I feel that prayers coming from a pure heart can actually change the destiny. I have seen it happen. It's true that you also need to put in your sincerity and hard work, but it's meaningless if there's hatred and contempt in heart for your fellow beings.
I also believe in karma. When you do good and think good, there're bound to be good things happening in your life too. The good wishes you earn in this lifetime are the real awards. Good work may or may not get you the awards, but you will always reap the benefits of good wishes, that's the real reward!

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
  Aug 30, 2010 Oscar and Grammy winner A.R. Rahman launched the theme song of the XIX Commonwealth Games in a glittering function held in Gurgaon attended by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda and the Organizing Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi among Others. Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto (Live, Rise, Ascend, and Win) was Rahman's call to the athletes. The song was praised by all as it was full of energy, vibrancy of youth and spirit of athletes. But the song had a detractor in Mr. Vijaykumar Malhotra, who is the Executive board member of the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games. Mr. Malhotra disagreed with the popular opinion of others by claiming that “The song has fallen short of expectations. We had expected a better song from a composer of Rahman's status.” He added that “He has given some very good songs like 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' but this song is not that impressive. We hope that the song is made better because there is still time left for the start of the Games.”
The launch of the theme song has already been delayed as the GoM overseeing the Games had asked Rahman to change the song.

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Posted: Wed Sep 01 2010 New Delhi: After all the hoopla around the release of the Commonwealth anthem by Oscar winner AR Rahman, all it seems to be getting from critics is brickbats. While former sports minister Shahnawaz Hussain termed it “disappointing”, current Sports Minister M S Gill and Delhi’s Leader of Opposition V K Malhotra also lashed out against the theme song, released in Gurgaon on August 28. What’s more, politicians from Opposition parties are not the only ones to have given it the thumbs down. Members of the public, cutting across states and cultures, have come together on social networking sites to slam the song. The theme song Swagatham has already come under sharp public criticism with allegations that it lacks energy, and the much-required ‘wow factor’. “I found it quite useless,” Delhi-based photographer Raghu Rai said, adding, “Rahman is the brightest of the current crop of music directors, but the Commonwealth theme song is just not Indian enough. In India, where there is a different beat for every little nakhra, Rahman’s song is dominated by Western beats and, thus, lacks the Indian spirit it deserved.”

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Hindustan Times Email Author Mumbai, September 01, 2010 After Rangeela, Bombay, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Yuva, Mehboob has once again collaborated with AR Rahman on the Commonwealth Games theme song. The lyricist says that they have been working on it for almost six months, since the day the Oscar winning composer called to ask him to take the night flight out to Chennai. “Since then, I have made a few more trips to Chennai and occasionally, when Rahman was in Mumbai, we worked here too. We changed the words many times and also the tune. But eventually, we came up something that we both like,” says a jubilant Mehboob, enthused by the overwhelming response to the song. “Of course, there are those who don’t like it but that’s expected. I’m 100 per cent sure ‘Swagatham…’ will be really popular. ” Truly Indian anthem
Will it be as big a hit as Shakira’s FIFA chartbuster, ‘Waka, Waka…’? “Why compare? Shakira has her own place and Rahman his own. Today, when the world’s eyes are on our music, why do we need to draw parallels?” he retorts. Comparisons are being drawn with Palash Sen’s Delhi anthem that the state’s chief minister, Sheila Dixit, has said will continue playing long after the Games are over. In fact, a debate is currently raging about which one is the actual CWG anthem.
“I heard about this song only two days ago and haven’t listened to it yet. But I assume it has more to do with Delhi while our song is about India and welcomes friends to our country. So I’d think it’s the real anthem,” he argues. Mehboob points out that the song upholds the sporting spirit through the lines, ‘Yeh toh khel hai, Bada mel hai, Mila diya, O rukna rukna rukna rukna rukna nahi, Haarna haarna haarna haarna haarna nahi, Junoon se kanoon se maidaan maar lo… (This is a game that promotes togetherness, don’t stop, don’t lose, with renewed zest, following the rules, decimate the competition). He adds that in keeping with the colloquial Hindustani flavour, the lyrics are an amalgamation of different Indian languages. For instance, lines like ‘Laagi re ab laagi re lagan, Jaagi re mann jeet ki agan...’ are drawn from Rajasthani folk. “At the same time we are targetting the youth with simple, easy to understand English words like ‘Let’s go, let’s go, Play o jiyo heyo let’s go…’ And the basic theme in encapsulated in four words… jiyo (live), utho (stand up), badho (move forward) and jeeto (win),” he says. “There’s a lot of energy and excitement reflected in India’s biggest sporting event.” Mehboob had put his directorial debut on hold for this song but expects to flag it off this month. “It’s too early to give out any details about my film. It’s a beautiful script with a blend of commercial ingredients and a subtle underlying message,” he says. Will Rahman compose the music? “Now, you’re fishing,” he laughs. “All I can say is that you’ll be delightfully surprised.” Swagatham: CWG ’10 Theme Song Oh yaaro, yeh India bulaa liya
Diwaano yeh India bulaa liya (bulaa liya)
Yeh toh khel hai
Bada mel hai
Mila diya (mila diya) (2) Oh rukna rukna rukna rukna rukna nahi
Haarna haarna haarna haarna haarna nahi
Junoon se kanoon se maidaan maar lo Let’s go, let’s go
Play o jiyo heyo let’s go
Play o jiyo heyo let’s go (2) Parvat sa uncha hoon dhun toh yeh
Duniya salaami de
Sardil iraade na ho jaayein kahin
Dil toh bas suraj dale
Jiyo utho badho jeeto
Tera mera jahaan let’s go
Kaisi saji hai saji hai dekho maati apni
Bani rashke jahaan yaara ho
Kai rang hai boli hai kai desh hai magan
Yahin jag hai samaaya saara ho, Laagi re ab laagi re lagan,
Jaagi re mann jeet ki agan,
Uthi re ab iraadon mein tapan,
Chali re dholi chali ban than
Let the games take over me
We like the time , the will to win to thrill to drill
Play o jiyo heyo let’s go Kadamon mein ik bhanwar ka hai din
Jashn ka aaj din hai
Seeno mein toofan ka hai din
Baazu aasman yeh din hai
Yeh din hai, Yeh raat din hai
Tu zor laga chal aankh mila
Dhal na aaye din yeh
Jiyo utho badho jeeto
Play o jiyo heyo let’s go
Jiyo utho badho jeeto
Tera mera jahaan let’s go

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Oscar winning music composer AR Rahman has come under heavy criticism for his latest composition which is the theme song of the upcoming Commonwealth games.
| 
| | | A.R.RAHMAN | |
Many politicians and fans of Rahman believe that the said theme song does not match up to the genius of Rahman. They are also miffed by the fact that it took six months and Rs 5 crore for Rahman to come up with such a shoddy composition.
Now, Rahman is re-working on the song since it lacks any appeal. The organisers now want Rahman to compose the CWG theme song on the level of the recent FIFA theme song waka waka which became an instant hit across the globe.

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
ARR’s students leave listeners enthralled The air was filled with exquisite music, from Mozart’s symphonies to Beethoven’s entrancing melodies. Students of the KM Music Conservatory, the school started by India’s most famous music composer A.R. Rahman, showed their sublime skills and high musical standards at the KMMC piano recital. Their flair and passion for music was in evidence, as the students, of varying ages, showcased symphonies ranging from W.A. Mozart’s Arioso to special songs arranged by the Mozart of Madras A.R. Rahman himself. Dr Surojeet Chatterji, handpicked by Rahman, trained all these students in a short span of six months. “These students are my babies. They have learnt music in a little over six months. Rahman saab brought me from California to teach these students and it feels great to make a complete circle and come back to India after living so many years overseas.” Among the performers, there were many who stood out. Some of the hot favourites were P. Shridhar, who enthralled the audience by playing ‘Breakers on the Ocean’ and Jerine Joseph who played ‘Prelude’ in D-minor and received much applause. Then there was Prince Mulla, who moved his hands with skill and grace on the ivory keys and brought the piano to life by playing Webber’s Scherzo. Another whizkid was S. Arjun, whose composition dedicated to A.R. Rahman left the audience spellbound. Being visually challenged, he has overcome the world and proved his passion for music. Madam Fathima, A.R. Rahman’s sister, reports, “Every student’s recital was mind-blowing. Dr Chatterji is another diamond in the crown of KMMC. He has tapped every individual’s talent to the fullest extent.”
Pritpal Halwarvi, a parent proudly notes, “Dr Chatterji has brought the piano to life. The school provides a great platform for children to showcase their talent. KMMC should have many branches all over the country and every branch should have another Dr Surojeet Chatterji.”Adds Pietra Brettkelly, an expat and a documentarian from New Zealand, “It’s amazing to see the love for music in these students, it’s incredible. I had tears rolling down. When the students stated that they had a connection between their love for nature and music, it proved that their musical abilities were out of sheer interest. Now I am tempted to learn music from Dr. Chatterji!”

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Robot: Not Rahman's best, to say the leastSeptember 02, 2010  Sumit Bhattacharya reviews the music of Robot. Chitti Dance Showcase, the third song on the Hindi soundtrack for the Rajnikanth-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Robot, has A R Rahman written all over it in large, sonic letters. Despite the track crediting additional arrangements and programming to Pravin Mani, the incendiary cocktail of break-beats, drum 'n bass, bol-scatting and a soaring string break that would befit a western classical symphony is something only the Mozart of Madras can serve up. And macha, you can bet your last paisa that the Showcase will have some killer moves by Rajni, which generations in Chennai bylanes will pick up and to which's Boom Boom Robo Da refrain many an Andhra guy will breakdance to. But why start a music review with the third track? Because there's not much else to write to you about Robot's music. Sorry if that sounds blasphemous. The album begins with Naina Miley, sung by Rahman, Suzanne DMello, Lady Kash n' Krissy. It lies somewhere between Lady Gaga and Cher's Antares auto tune vocal effect (Believe) territory. It throbs, booms and is not entirely bad, but then that's about it. Pagal Anukan begins with swirling guitars, and is sung with apt sweetness by Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal. It's a nice song, with smart Rahman touches and lyrics like neutron electron bolo naino me kitney hai. After Chitti Dance Showcase comes Arima Arima, heavy on dramatic arrangement, sung by Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam, Benny Dayal and Naresh Iyer, and with lyrics like Atlantic pe dubah jakey agni par na bujhey. And despite the marching feel and distorted guitar dives that give it a suitable 'robotic' feel leading up to a melodic expanse, it isn't a song you will hum for the next two days.  Next up is Kilimanjaro -- robot goes to Africa or what? -- which again has rather strange lyrics like 'Kilimanjaro, ladki parbat ki yaro' and a strictly so-so melody.
Isaac Newton ki leela hai robo, declares track six, Boom Boom Robo Da, which seems to fuse everything from Punjabi folk to hip hop to power chord-guitar riffing to nylon string sophistication, and yet fails to sooth or excite. Last up is O Naye Insaan, sung by Srinivas D and Khatija Rahman (the maestro's daughter), which has a rather sparse, bubbling beneath the surface feel. Like the rest of the soundtrack, it's intelligent, but lacking in emotion. Which is a pity, because Robot's storyline -- which seems a bit like Bicenntenial Man, starring Robin Williams -- is all about a mechanical creation discovering human emotions. ____________ Music forms a part of me again It gives Shape to my faceless Expressions...To my Thoughts. {Alochana}

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
New Delhi, September 03, 2010 A.R. Rahman's theme song for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto has been widely panned as just average, but lyricist Mehboob defends his work and says people forget it's an anthem and not a commercial Bollywood song.
"We have not received any intimation as far as rework on the song is concerned and I don't think we need to rework on it," Mehboob told IANS.
It took Mehboob and Rehman six months to finish the CWG song, which involved a bit of travelling as Rahman sits in Chennai and Mehboob in Mumbai.
"The song is getting mixed reviews but the negative side is being blown out of proportion. People are forgetting it's an anthem and not a commercial Bollywood song," said Mehboob.
 "Rahman's song are usually slow to pick up but have a mass appeal to them when they reach the peak. His music is like sweet poison it starts from the ground level and then reaches heights. I'm sure this song will grow, but the public needs to realise it is not a film song.
"Just because it has Rahman, people expect it to be a fast, peppy number but this has serious sentiments attached to it. The song is not based on a particular game, it is for all of them and we are the host, we are inviting 53 countries to our nation. People need to focus on the lyrics and visualise it." According to a recent report, former sports minister Shahnawaz Hussain has demanded a re-composition of the theme track. "I respect Rahman for what he has achieved but the track simply does not excite me. No one in the Organising Committee (OC) likes it except perhaps Suresh Kalmadi. It is nowhere close to Waka Waka (Shakira'S*** song for the football World Cup) and has failed to lift the sagging spirits of the CWG," Hussain was quoted as saying. "Either it is good music or bad. There is no middle way to evaluate the appeal of a Rs.5 crore (Rs.50 million) track, he can surely re-compose it," he added. Many disappointed fans have also posted their reactions on the micro-blogging site Twitter. "No way near to Waka Waka. We don't want classical wizards to compose for sports event. Five crore rupees went down the drain, time also wasted," a fan posted on Rahman's Twitter page. Another fan wrote: "Very average song..Definitely not worth Rs.5 crores.. Poor music is... well.... poor music... irrespective of where it comes from." "I love your approach to music and creativity you bring about in the Indian sub-continent. But this composition was for the nation and miss the 'deep love' depicting the true soul of India and its rich diverse culture. I dont understand why elements of Rap had to be here at all. It has got nothing to do with the true soul of India," read another post. Rahman and Mehboob have earlier collaborated on projects like Rangeela, Bombay, Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, Daud, Yuva Thakshak and Dil Hi Dil Mein. ____________ Music forms a part of me again It gives Shape to my faceless Expressions...To my Thoughts. {Alochana}

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Young singers get to sing with AR Rahman By FAZLEENA AZIZ
Friday September 3, 2010THEIR voices may be familiar to some as singers Lady Kash and Krissy are making waves in the music industry. They recently made a huge impact by singing with Academy Award-winning musician AR Rahman for his Enthiran album. Enthiran, which means Robot is considered the most expensive Indian movie ever made by director Shankar and superstar Rajinikanth with Bollywood doll Aishwarya Rai Bachan as the leading lady. The song Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam (There is a heart in a steel) is already a certified hit and the girls are humbled by the encouraging response. Saradha Krissy, 19, and Kalai Kash, 20, who hail from Singapore, both met through a social networking site and have been friends for four years. Their genre of music features Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rap, Urban and World Music. They were referred to Rahman by a fellow singer in the Indian cinema industry, who had heard them during a song recording. They two were also part of Rahman’s team for the Tamil anthem song entitled Senmozhi (classical language), which was the theme song for the World Classical Tamil Conference held in Coimbatore, India in June 2010. “On a higher and more powerful level, we believe it was a spiritual alliance as working with Rahman was one of our dreams. “Working on Enthiran was truly a humbling and exciting experience,” they said, adding that they were thankful to Rahman for his faith in them. They also said that music is a boundless ocean and that they would not limit themselves to just one genre. “When we started, it took us time and a lot of hard work to build a fan base.” “Now, our listeners are supportive. Even as we go forth in our musical journey, our earliest experience of working on Enthiran will be most memorable as we had so much fun,” they said. Currently, Lady Kash and Krissy are working on their promotional album entitled Dreams, which is to be released by the end of the year. ____________ Ae zindagi yeh lamha jee lene de

Re: Life Of A. R.Rahman
Komaram Puli Music Review September 07, 2010  Last time AR Rahman composed for Telugu, it was to create magic in Ye Maaya Chesave. Lyricist Chandrabose, who has written all the songs in Komaram Puli, adds a very different touch in combination with Rahman. After Nani's effervescent songs, Rahman, SJ Suryah combination lives up to the hype. All the tracks in the movie have something to offer, and songs like Maaralante and Dochey are very appealing. Of course, the wait, the hype and the additional Oscar's bound to get people to have unrealistic expectations out of Komaram Puli's music-but the truth is it's standard fare by Rahman. And that means it can only be good. Read the complete music review here.____________ "I am a dreamer,I collect all the smiles from My yesterday,
Neatly pack them into words and hide them in my heart,
I call them "MEMORIES" Music has no boundary.
