A.R.Rahman - Mani Rathnam - Rajeev Menon - GURU

Vijayr, Thanks for the review.

This was from Suresh's Mouthshut review - comments section Not so sure, but the track is truely mesmerising and I checked its the main theme played in the trailor as well. Here is the translation from Mr. Durba - ARRYG

Jaage hain der tak - Had been awake till late
Hamein kuchh der sone do - Let me sleep some more time
Thodi si raat aur hai - Little night is left now
Subah to hone do - Let the dawn come
Adhe Adhure Khwaab - Those half fulfilled dreams
Jo pure na ho sake - That couldn't come true
Ek baar phir se neend mein - Once more in my sleep
Who khwaab bone do - Let me plant the greams again /* [ bona= to
plant, here it is used to live the dream again]

Simply Mindblowing!

Dear Friends,

I am very much pleased to hear from my friend in canada that "Maya Maya" sung by Maryem Toller from the recent release Manirathnam' s Guru is creating waves in Canada and the Chorus song titled "Ek lo Ek Muft" rendered by noted Music director Bappi Lahiri is a run away hit in West Bengal and Himachal Pradesh.

I dont no the status of other songs.

Long live Rahman and all his Global Fans,

With warm wishes and greetings to all Rahmanaics.

Guru's soundtrack is typical Rahman

November 20, 2006 17:14 IST

In this reviewer's humble opinion, there is a fine line between having your own sound and being repetitive.

A R Rahman is one of the few music directors in Bollywood -- or for that matter anywhere -- who can tread that line with �lan.

And the soundtrack of Guru -- Mani Ratnam's upcoming film which features a Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan, Mithun Chakraborty and Mallika Sherawat -- has A R Rahman written all over it in all caps.

As you listen through the soundtrack, you get the feeling that some songs you don't like too much might grow on you. And you also get the feeling that once you see the film, you might want to revisit the soundtrack.

Guru is generating buzz for a number of reasons. It is rumoured to be inspired by the villager to tycoon story of Dhirubhai Ambani. And the movie sees Rahman reunite with Ratnam, a duo that has given us memorable soundtracks like Roja.

The album of Guru kicks off with Barso Re, a peppy rain song sung by Shreya Ghosal and Uday Mazumdar. It is sparse, Rahman style, and injected with intelligent loops and percussion staccatos. But it does not tug at your heart-strings.

Which cannot be said about Tere Bina. This is Rahman at what he does best: ballads. The heart-warming song also bears testimony to the fact that the composer has evolved from a shy singer to a confident vocalist, never mind that his voice is not what most experts will go ga ga over. Tere Bina -- marked as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan -- is one of the two best songs of Guru.

Next up is Ek Lo Ek Muft, a bhang number sung by none other than Bappi Lahiri. His accent almost disguised, Bappida seems to be enjoying the song, which sounds like a tribal chant at times. So-so, is the verdict. (Guess these ppl have listened to this song only once :bangcomp: )

Then comes Ms Sherawat's belly dance moment. Mayya, with its sensual sibilance and speaker-phone vocals, is very Middle Eastern. The singer's accent is a bit of a put off but I don't think anyone will be bothering about her accent with Ms Sherawat's accentuated curves hugging the screen.

Track number five is Ay Hairathe, sung nicely by Hariharan and Alka Yagnik. The smooth transition from what is almost a ghazal to a Scottish highland interlude and back demonstrates the composer's ease with both Western and Eastern music.

Up next is the techno-beat-meets-Udit Narayan's-voice offering called Baazi Laga. A tad pedestrian, but you never know with the right moves on screen.

The finale is the goose-flesh moment, undoubtedly the best song of the seven-number soundtrack, Jaage Hain. The orchestra rises and the strings swell to conjure up visions of a great beyond. A song full of cinematic promise.

The bottom line: If you want an album to play at a party, give Guru a miss. If you want to ponder over life's deeper questions and listen to music that tugs at your heart, buy it just for Tere Bina and Jaage Hain.

Rediff Rating: 3 star (Pretty Good )
