Thats ok, RS. Like I said I dont want to be instrumental in that. Glad that you posted it.
Now we can expect more reviews pouring in from all directions.
Hello ,
I am usually a silent reader in this group , but for the first time i decided to send out a review of the songs of guru in the group. enough of the intro , so let me start with the summary of the album.
Summary:
A.R.Rahman, the man has grown from a vibrant young musical genius in Roja to a musical god in Guru. The songs in my perspective are some of the best ARR has ever composed, why ??, it is truly original for starters(no mix or hint of prev tunes). The usage of a wide variety of instruments is growing to a considerable extent in Rahman's tunes, hope he keeps introducing more groundbreaking tunes and instruments not used in repetitive Indian film music.
Song 1-
Jage Hain - I personally was looking forward to hear this song. It starts of with a very soft but tuned recite of the lyrics by Chitra with some orchestra violin and strong base cello in the background. ARR's voice slowly blends in with the cello , i should say the first recite of the lyrics by ARR is as soft as one can get after which he sings the same lyrics in a high pitch , the madras chorus group pitches in with thier recitation. Overall for me this is the highlight of the album, it sets the right tone for the movie and a very inspiring usage of the orchestra skills.
Song 2-
Tere Bina - The humming of :Dhum dara Dhum Dara" was already in our lips even before the album came out. The music has got some wonderful lyrics and gets you calm after the riveting Jage Hain song. Special mention to Chinmayee , my first impression when i heard her peice in this song was " Wow, what a voice to have". This is the first time i heard her and trust me her voice has really worked wonders with ARR's for this song. Another special mention is that ARR has dedicated this song to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - in the album cover.
Song 3-
Ek Harirathey - A top class blend of Ghazal. The catchy
" Dham Dara DHam Dara" is once again thrown into this song for the kicks of it. . Hariharan's voice and pitch sounds like magic. Special mention about Prasad on the tabla , really good.
Song 4
Ek Lo Ek Muft- Well, let me be frank about this song, i think has not done justice to the amount of hype it created. Having said that, let me keep me mind that the director of this film is a guy capable of projecting a donkey like a horse on the big screen, the visuals might justify this song. Let us wait and see.
Song 5
Bazi Laga- A short description of this song
Kind of fast paced, good tune, I guess having Mallika Sherawat dance for this would justify the songs pace and tune. But a good song to listen to it .
Song 6
Barso Re- A great rendition of flute to start of with . Since we know that this is a song picturized on Aishwarya in rain , the beat might just give your foot a little exercise with the foot tapping you would do while listening to this.
Well there you have it, my humble on this album. Before i stop let me tell you my review is only my humble opinion . I have not hyped the songs even to a little extent.
Thanks

Looks like the reviewer confused Baazi Lagaa for Mayya. Mayya is the one for Mallika Sherawat and that song is missing in the review.
Listening to 'Barso Re' The song start and tune sound too south Indian and the whole song would make good in Tamil too :) Iam loving this song. The rhythmic percussion accompanying would make even a physically challenged to stand up and dance.
where did u get the cd,buddy?Quote:

ajay,
It seems you dont read all the posts dude. See the first post in this page :wink:
Sorry,friend. i did'nt see that..
thanks for links RS!!
Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Pokiri Rajaaaa...
Podhumey Podhumey Podhumey Podhumey Podhumey Thaaja...
Kunguma Kunguma Kunguma Kunguma Kunguma Poove...
Konjum Konjum Konjum Konjum Konjum Puraave...
Does this ring a bell somewhere! listen to 'Baazi lagaa' from Guru. Even the 'Aiyee aiyee yo' is from an old song which iam not able point right now. it seems this song is mixture many old songs :)
Kurukku Siruthavalae from 'Muthalvan' is being reworked in the charanams of 'tere bina'.Even the beats are too similar
'Ek Lo Ek muft' is definitely inspired too, cant point it right now.
the dialogues from Arabic 'Mayya' has the same ideas from his own Satrangi Re/ Enuyire of Dilse.
'Ay hairathe' is good rahmanic interpretation of 'Ghazal' genre.
'Jaage Hain' is a good composition but will not create an interest as standalone. It will be good with the visuals.
'Barso Re' is the best of the album which can be heard as a standalone song though it has the same arrangements/patterns beaten to death by many composers around.
On the whole the album disappoints in whole without anything new init failing to the hype generated over it. but can be appreciated for the neat packaging of the songs making it a listenable album. Definitely not a passable one!
ennayya paattellam chappunnu irukku.......oru kick-e illa :cry: :cry: :cry:
agreed...one the 1st & second listenin...im tottaly dissapointed !! so many SOK influence too.... esp in Mayya starting sounds so much like Maaricham.....
Mayya Mayya sounds so much like Raasaiya - Mangal Pandey...... the Bappi Lahiri song is the worse in the album... this is all from 1st & 2nd listening... :hammer:
OMG!!! the songs r rockin!!! specially Maya Maya song....
Even though i listen only one time, i mean now its goin 2nd time Maya Maya and Baazi Lage both out of the world... come on guys this s very nice album...
that happens i told u ppl not to comment bfore hearing it at least three times .. why do u ppl spoil others interest ...if u think u are bter reviewers do it after some 5 hearings.....if u can create some new sound without inspiration go and sit with mani for his next movie ....rahman rocks ...its true.. guru is only for a normal listener not for music scientist testing the origin...so shut it...!!!
Well said, friend
The songs wud suit the movie for sure
yo bro....we r ARR fans...not ARR jaldra... :notworthy:
Bazi Laga & Barso re is very catchy...... Tera Bina & Ay Hairathe r typical ARR-MR,divine tunes.... :D
yenna Dinesh, ippave maatram theriyudhu........wat disappoints me is there are no new sounds......if ARR is not giving new sounds then he should atleast stick to some simple rythms or patterns/..........idhuvum illama, adhuvum illama, rendukkum madhiyil maatikkittu muzhika padathu......
neways still listening to it in a dabba speaker....will listen to it in good system when i get to office.... :lol:

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

It has a more Rajasthani than Gujju flavour in the pallavi and a South Indian
flavor in the charanams. I enjoyed the charanam's unpredictable progression
very much. However, considering it's a period film, and assuming this song
comes in the 50's, with a young Aishwarya dancing in the rain, the flavour of
the preiod is definitely missing. It sounds more 90's. Nevertheless, this song
would definitely become popular, especially in nexy year's Navratri dandiyas.
*** Maiya Maiya: It starts off with a neat prelude: "Tu Neel Samandar Hai...
Main Ret ka Saahil Hoon." (You are the blue ocean (whilst) I'm the sand
wave)
The arabic theme is unmistakable. Sounds great overall, with the lead singer
Maryam's voice bringing in the right flavor. However the female chorus that
comes in the first half could have been treated differently or avoided
completely, as it is exactly like the chorus in Dil Se's "Sat Rangi Re (Ishq Par
Zor Nahin... line)". Ditto is another male voice that renders an alaap, which is
quite like ARR's solo song in the Hindi film, "Saathiya". This "Item Number" is
likely to get a lot of attention, not just for its new sound but also because of
the Mallika factor.
*** Aye Hairathein
A Lovely composition.
We get to hear Hariharan's mellifluous voice after a long time. I loved the
'pause' used by ARR in the composition just after the words 'Vat' and 'Mat',
which IR too has used effectively in the past in many compositions.
The orchestration is smooth, with a rich feel brought in by the strings and the
tabla beats brining in a Qawwali feel. Someone like Chinmayee would have
elevated this song to greater heights. Alka Yagnik with her 'flat' rendition does
not do justice to this composition.
*** Ek Lo Aur Ek Muft
This looks like a situational song, announcing the birth of twins to the lead
couple (a la Bombay's Halla Gulla song). I was surprised by Chitra's rendition... very a-typical... the effortless attitude she brings in to the song is plain amazing! (I hope it's the same KS Chitra and not some North Indian singer)?
In spite of many positives, why is that I get a feel that it's not in the same league as some of ARR-Mani combos like Dil Se, Roja and Thiruda Thiruda?
Hey guess me, thanks for the links, i just woke up. Thanks vijay for understanding how i feel. I have to go to school now so i cant listen to it now, :roll: :cry: . When i come back its guru night. BTW i am also going to buy the CD on my way. Please everyone go buy the CD.
i agree with billrafek, maaya maya n baazi laga are awesome.
Maaya maaya starts like maricham but later changes in its real mood. arabian style rendition, some saranam is like in en uyire(UYIRE) a typical hindi song definitely will suit the northers with Malika in it for sure
Baazi laga is another dance number, very latin ( i liked it), Udit Narayanan n Sadhana has done their part well, somehow the chorus sounded as the same as Maaya maaya at some points
AFTER all the hype and hoopia of Baapi singing for ARR :cry2: waste, maybe it suits the script. other songs have to wait, i'm stuck with these two :mrgreen:
I left out the Baazi Laga song.
It's again a situational number. Has an early 80's Shankar Ganesh song feel to it. May be it was the director's requirement.. Except for the chord change towards the end, there's nothing novel about this song. Strictly OK.
SHANKAR GANESHAA :shock:Quote:

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