:redjump:
I dont think it's by ARR. Music is quite similar to prelude of an old hindi number "aaja aaja meh hun pyar tera". Even the fonts and site design is quite unlike Madras talkies stuff. May be some enthusiastic fan!

Loved the music on the site!! Nice work, different and something to expect.
Sure Maddy the instant the music started I started liking it. and kept it playing for more than half an hour in my system and i memorised the music :) It has a cool jazzy/rock n roll feel it :thumbsup:Quote:

Just a wild guess, does it have anything to do with Iruvar?
The photo of Abhishek standing in the balcony with hordes of people waiting in the rain reminds me of the scene in Iruvar where Prakash Raj drags Mohanlal to the balcony to see for himself the kind of support he had gathered.
Well, come to think of it, even Nayakan had a similar scene. I guess it's Mani's trademark..
SVN, you are right in that a lot of things about Guru remind me of Iruvar - the biopic-kind of presentation set in the 50s, the recent stills, the Aishwarya Rai presence,even the Jazz-laden music etc. I hope Mani doesnt repeat himself for the Hindi audience
Yes, apart from the period setting and the music, there are some other aspects as well, which link it to Iruvar: the presence of Madhavan as a co-star (who was originally considered for Iruvar); the initial portions that are set in a village (Suhasini is apparently assisting with this part of the script); the hero's character being an ambitious leader, with shades of grey ...
My guess is it may not be entirely based on Iruvar:
1. Tamil audience rejected it as a slow movie, which was dialogue-heavy. Mani who's looking for the ever-eluding box office success in Hindi would not want to take a huge risk like that.
2. Tamil audience could relate to the politics-cinema-literature mix in the 50's and 60's and the real-life incidents as reference points. The same can't be said about the audiences up north.
I just hope he gives us something new, sensible and entertaining- the kind of cinema which he was famous for. And I hope ARR too gives us something to relish and celebrate. It is a challenge, no doubt, when one has to trace over 4 decades of music, however ARR Mani combo can weave its magic yet again. The Reshammiyas and Pritams are getting on my nerves.
That’s truly rocking! This is what I generally expect from every ARR's album - Instrumentals. I have been a huge fan of Jazz music don’t know why only to instrumentals. Vocals in Jazz music irritates Me (from my var. intl collection) Is that the genre?… Wish Rahman released JOK title track (a perfect Jazz no in every form) as a mere instrumental track (only with S…O…K & shikkaku boom ba… :lol:) Listen to the piano strokes & trumphet blow (sok) at 3.11 is truly mesmerizing.. Even IR's -MX's fills my playlist in karoke mode. Parineeta's Jazz no (Rekha) is what I instantly liked it may be I didn’t follow the lyrics properly.
Can anyone point out few superhit Jazz songs w/ Vocals .. in TFM ? :roll:
is it just me .. or anybody else have this feeling....
Guru has flop written all over it.... Somehow its not a MR film I am waiting for... it just feels different ....be it the posters...the "supposed" story .. cast... doesnt ring a "hit" bell.... If the story is actually the story of a man ... visionary... this will be a super flop....
I dont know why MR has chosen such an outing for his hindi venture.... MR strenth is relationships... period...!!
or maybe MR isnt interested in commercial success.. and only interested in critial acclaim during his last few years as a director...maybe...
for me .. GURU just doent feel like it will hit the chord...
sloshed, its very easy to predict a flop than predicting a hit......it becomes easier when u find MR,ARR name in the lineup, isnt it??cos u know from now on, 4 out of 5 movies from this combo will fail.....Quote:

Maddy ...
In fact .... RDB was one of the films which i knew will be a big blockbustur... I knew a bit about the film from the media... and I had a good feeling about Rakesh Mehara.... and his care for good screenplay....
In fact all this while I had this strange notion about how only MR can do justice to both art and commercial cinemas in the same visual media.... I am happy to find .. a lot of people are coming forward on that thought... RM,selvaragavan,bala, etc..
Coming back to your point.... If I find MR and ARR inthe same lineup ... alomost everything points to a hit... why not?? ..its just that ...I feel MR has chosen a subject .. which may not vibe well at this present time....I dont know anything about this moive.. except for the fact that its about a visionary... still I dont think its a subject with "super hit" written all over it... I dont think Mani will hit off with the north this time around.. I wish he had taken a more "saleable" story .... but lets see...unless promos come out.. we cant say nything.. but I just feel this one will be a big flop....
And maddy .. in a way ur rite.."RDB" didnt belong to the 45 yr old actor or the 40 yr MD... it all belongs to one man ..Rakesh ... his vision was excellent... the other two can take credit to the fact that they helped his vision... I think RM will be one of the finest directors in this era... good luck to him....and good luck to Mani...
I forgot to add....
I am actually hoping for something that will better "Iruvar"
IMO.. its the finest Indian Movie ever made.... If I made a checklist on the aspects of an excellently well done movie... Iruvar is up there..... Though I dont care about the BO success.. I want success atleast for MR sake.. he deserves it and i think its long due in the north....
i totally disagree with u.....ARR and Aamir were very vital for this movie's success.......ARR had suggested the situations/feel of the movie etc etc. to RM, so i guess he was very much a part of it.....for me this was ARR's biggest success post-2000....Quote:

RDB has ARR's best BGM since Thiruda Thiruda :thumbsup: The success of the film largely owes to the BGMs and camera work :clap: They carried the punch of the scenes... especially scenes like jallian wallah bach.... otherwise the film wud have ended just like another documentary. The strings were amazing in the BG (recently saw VV.. strings in BG were as bland as they can get :banghead: and they call this as gr8 BG :banghead: )
Maddy/Scale....
I dont deny the part in their success... BUt dont you think that the movies success was "pre-defined" by the script of RM.... Scale.... the "two-crowd pullers concept" doesnt vibe well with me.. in fact that same two crowd pullers were also there for a dud called "Mangal Pandey" ... Rm chose to think different... gave the concept of patriotism in a pulse that captured the youth's imagination.... The credit should go to him...
This talk of BGM's and Camera work are only secondary ... I dont think it was ARR best since "Thiruda Thiruda".... IMHO .. "Dil se" ,AP, KM.. had far superior BGM's that RDB....
I agree to an extent.. Amir gave the movie the opening ...but RM deserves everything in sustaining its run.... and as Maddy points out.. ARR needs success to make sure his songs dont perish .. actually someone pointed out ..that RM didnt do justice to the songs as they werent picturized in effect.... the movie in totality rocked...and I am only suprised nobody here mentions of the powerful script RM had in the furst place....
BTW.. the other good movie in recent times with a powerful script.. is "Bommarillu" .... though I dont speak the language .. I loved the film... thats powerful moive making again... Again I wouldnt say .. its becos of the actors/MDs... the battle had been won already ...
"Guru has flop written all over it...."
I said the same thing in a popular blog only to get brickbats. Abishek plays Ambani, Mithun Chakrabarthy plays his business rival and it's all about corporate battles, and rise of Ambani from 50-80. Certainly not a commercial story and an imminent flop. Movie would be well made and ARR would churn out some amazing numbers for mani - that's a routine affair.
I’m forcibly switching my loyalties to Lajjo, Aamir, Mani, ARR, PC Sriram, and Bobby Bedi for good production values!
Sloshed, i completely agree with u on the script on RDB....one of the most scintillating ones i have ever seen in my life.....infact, i place Raykesh on par with Mani, Ghai (guys dont laugh, he is also my fav.), RGV and above Gautam/Selvaraghavan/Ashutosh Gowariker..........
sloshed, did u know that Mangal Pandey had one of the biggest openings ever for that time?? it was purely bcos of Aamir/Marketing/ARR.......so RDB's opening had to do with Aamir and ARR a lot.....but the movie sustained bcos of its gr8 script........but wat r the industry standards we have now?? Arindhum ariyamalum, Kadhal Kondein, Pattiyal were gud movies and ran mainly for their scripts but still we consider it as a success movies for YSR, isnt it??? same way, i guess ARR shuld be credited for RDB's success....
jacky, u never know, Mani is gr8, he might pull out some surprises in Guru......did u know dil se was the first Indian movie to be declared a flop in India and a hit abroad......u never know Guru mite start another new trend of its own./....
Maddy,
Not just dilse but any Mani movie does well in overseas and in our metros. Period films have always been rejected by the Hindi audience, even Shahrukh’s Ashoka was a flop.
If Mani needs his first elusive hit in Bollywood, he has to work on a contemporary subject like DCH and his great technical crew will enhance it better.
When creativity is at an all time low in Bollywood that Don, Sholay, AAAnthony are remade, it's just the time Mani can pull a surprise but with Guru I don’t think he has a chance. Lajjo may be the one. We'll see!
hey how can u forget Anjali/Roja/Bombay/Saathiya which were huge hits......Quote:

I meant a direct hit and not dubbed ones.
But nevertheless dubbed hits are to be reckoned as well.
>>>>>>
Shahrukh’s Ashoka was a flop.
<<<<<<
How can anyone expect that piece of Cr*p called asoka to be hit ? It was not a period movie in any sense (SRK roaming around with a totally hip hairdo in 250 BC or so :-) )...
kadavuLE vandhu nadichAlum andha stupid script would've flopped big time. Is this the same Santosh Sivan who made terrorist ?!?!?!
It has nothing to do with weak script, it flopped cuz it was a period film. I don't think SRK's audience ever expected a good script! And in Ashoka his name was Ashok and not Raj or Rahul. Besides he wanted to die for his country, normally ppl expect SRK to die for his love!
FYI: Saathiya was not directed by Mani, it was remade in Hindi by Shaad Ali only screenplay was by Mani

The Mallika Sherawat item song with Abhishek in Guru
By IndiaFM News Bureau, October 13, 2006 - 04:45 IST
Here are some exclusive pictures from Mani Ratnam's forthcoming film Guru … and remember you saw it first only on IndiaFM .
Firstly we see Abhishek Bachchan in a clean shaven look after a very long time. It is rumored that he is playing the reel life role of the late business magnate Dhirubai Ambani. Check him out in his polished suit in this title role. On the right corner is him again in another look, however this time being more casual with a cap on.
In the picture in the middle we see Abhishek and none other than Mallika Sherawat on a horse carriage somewhere in Europe. This is taken from the special ‘item number' song that has been picturized on Mallika. The song is the only part of the film where she will be prevalent.
Apart from Abhishek Guru also stars Aishwarya Rai as his lady love with Vidya Balan, R Madhavan, Arya Babbar and Mithun Chakravarthy in pivotal roles.

I have seen the trailor in sathyam theatre 3/4 days back . Photography looks promising its 70s kinda setting obviously Music would have major weightage in Mani movie !!! Hope Mani gets lucky atleast this time in Bollywood.Quote:

Maddy, he hasn't had any direct (non-dubbed) hits in Hindi yet. Dil Se supposedly did well overseas, and probably does well on DVD.
:lol: Get the difference between dubbed version and direct movie first 8-)Quote:

That does'nt mean that they've watched only his hindi films.
Guru's trailor is damn good,maddy. I watched it in Sathyam this weekend. When u come here to chennai to watch Varallaru, book your tickets at Sathyam for the double dhamaka...
