A MUST READ

AR: I see two kinds of things happening. One is a step forward, and one is a step backwards also. Because people are seeing loads of things on satellite TV and stuff. They know that nobody can bullshit them now -- nobody can copy anything or rip anything off because now they know it bang on that this is something. So that's all good. And I think there are two things, one kind of filmmakers are avoiding songs -- saying that its going to break, and another filmmaker is going full fledged with songs: 'this is the music I'm really proud of' --that sort of thing. I'm getting associated with both of them.
A R Rehman composes music for Chinese film
- 19.04.2006
The music for the stage production of ‘Lord of the Rings” is quite different from Tamil film songs. According to its composer A R Rehman, Canadian fans seem to like it immensely. Rehman has fans all over the world but his Hong Kong fans are rather special. Maybe that’s the reason he has composed music for yet another Chinese film.
“I have been listening to Chinese music for the past 15 years. It’s really beautiful.” Rehman has composed music for ‘Between Heaven and Earth.’ In Tamil, the music for ‘Jillendru Oru Kaadhal’ and ‘Sivaji’ are his only latest, because ‘Godfather’ music is already old hat by now.
Compared to Tamil, the Hindi scene seems to be much better. He is composing music for ‘London Dreams’ directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, ‘Jodha Akbar’ and for ‘Guru’ directed by Mani Ratnam featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. There are also discussions about composing music for some other films.
After the isai puyal’s re-mix in ‘New,’ many other re-mix songs have been released in Tamil. As the person who started the re-mix trend here, he was asked if re-mixing was right or wrong and his stand was half way.
“There’s nothing wrong in re-mixing old songs, but one should see to it that the soul of the original song is not lost.”
If there was soul, this question would not have been necessary!

Indian film screened at American university
- 20.04.2006
Here’s another example of Indian cinema getting international exposure. ‘Rang De Basanti’ is a film about 5 young men who protest against low quality spare parts for planes that result in many fatal crashes.
A R Rehman’s music gives life to this film which encourages patriotism as well as social awareness among the youth, so it is being screened in American universities. :clap:
For 3 days from April 16th, the film was screened at East Michigan University. For this purpose, the film’s director Rakeysh Mehra and music composer A R Rehman had already gone to the US. After the screening, there was interaction between the director and university students.
The American youth are impressed by the acting of Aamir Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Siddarth, Atul Kulkarni and Madhavan and the music of Rehman. “Plane accidents are happening everywhere in the world. That’s why ‘Rang de Basanti’ is not for India alone but has a universal message,” says Rakeysh Mehra explaining his reasons for screening the film in American universities.
After the East Michigan University screening, ‘Rang de Basanti’ will be screened at some other universities too. Earlier, Indians were in awe of Hollywood. Now it’s Hollywood’s turn to look at India in appreciation.
When will a Tamil film perform such a feat?

When will a Tamil film perform such a feat?
1.when they stop remaking from eng/telugu/malayalam movies
2.when they stop giving masala crap ...
3.when they give story the HERO role
4.when they give importance to QUALITY MUSIC!!
Dinesh,
Agree with you in portions. But Rang De Basanthi is a film that became a hit on 2 grounds. One, because of the excessive hype giving to it by the media, and I mean, the international and national indian media. Second, absolutely no other major star's film was competing and was a threat for media bias.
The music won't even afford a spot in my top 10 arr list.
Agree with everything you said about tamil films. Include music (tamil) scene in there as well.
EMUconcert newsa appadiye marachitthanga!!!!
