Ramki, yeah, I wouldnt take the papers seriously. But the following line proves it was Asha Bhonsle indeed - the following line was "Pancham is the greatest ever", which is her mantra. So, I have no doubts she said that - she also said "I won two international awards before but nobody bothered now I am sure a major appreciation will be made for Rahman". Konjam poramai kooda theriyudhu.
Raagas is talking about IR fans worrying about Bhonsle not mentioning IR. IMO, she hasnt even praised Rahman in that -all I can see is self-dabba and RDB-dabba. My point is she has form for this so yeah in this instance, I dont have a doubt it was her, times of india notwithstanding!
Anyway, who cares? She will be shut up when Rahman brings the oscar home.
Plum... different people have different eccentricities...and talented people, more so. Lets not get into rights and wrongs of their personalities, because we might find many. All thats matters to us is only talent..be it Asha Bhonsle or anyone for that matter. Rest all, we neednt bother. I agree with you... that there was lot of self-dabba and it is evident.. But then.. thats how world is..
It is up to us..to ignore crap :)
its up to us to ignore crap...says Raaga
its up to us to ignore crap or just laugh at it and then ignore - says me
purinjidha?
yaa.. Do that Plum..because thats what i too did. i dont take Asha Bhonsle's interviews that seriously, with due respect to her talent. That I am a fan of R.D.Burman is a different story, but then she doesnt talk much of other greats with whom she worked, including Naushad, S.D.Burman, Madan Mohan, C.Ramchandra, O.P.Nayyar etc (although she respects them..she doesnt give them any media mileage). And she talks a lot about only RDB.Now thats unfair, with due respects to RDB.this is the reason i dont take her interviews seriously although i like the talent she has got and her achievements.
Anyways, this is all for a different thread.. I am just reasoning out why i laugh and ignore. :)
something else i noticed - while the Indian media always goes over-the-top if someone like Amitabh Bachan even visits a temple somewhere (forget abt him getting something like Golden Globes), on a relative scale, the media has been playing it very low-key abt ARR's winning the Golden Globe, which by all means is something extraordinary !(am a HCIRF - but an award is an award and recognition is recognition, and am happy)
even media reports abt the Golden Globe do not carry any in-depth view of ARR's career highlights, his music, the recording finesse that is one of his music's highlights etc
its all simple, naive, reporting - "ARR virudhu petraar" kind of reports - that probably reflects the overall trend in Indian journalism with not many qualified people reporting on music related news
irir - our tamil media only talks if there are some politicians get some doctorate or some one "fights well in a movie" - like he didnt use make up or dummy, he himself jumped from 2 feet above the ground etc.
lot of hindi channels covered ARRs life journey, from Roja onwards. Ofcourse their version is ARR is a "Bollywood composer, first introduced in Roja Hindi movie" etc.
Hope one of our tamil channel (Usually Vijay TV does this) step up and celebrate this with all other MDs across India.
Getting Golden Globe or Oscar (I am sure ARR will get this) is not a joke. Apart from Music, it require dedication to consistently look for international assignment, understanding what international music demands, lobbying etc. Hats off to ARR. In the interview, ARR mentioned that he was interviewed by award comittee to assess his abilities and to see if he is really worth the prize. All other aspiring MDs has to chat with him to understand the process.
Hope this trend continues for India music industry.
Hope this is a thread on IR.
If you don't want us to talk anything bad about ARR , it holds also for people who appreciate ARR here .
If you want to talk about ARR and his GG win etc, please have it on ARR section.
Yeah, I read that bit about ARR humbly meeting the award committee members and 'proving' to them why he deserves the award. When I read that I chuckled - because I knew then and there that if not for any other reason, IR will never get this award for this reason alone - and I am fine with that. Good point about lobbying, njv. Ippollam nalla product succeed aradhukke lobbying thevai padudhu.
As for media, Times of India actually consoled itself saying today "Even though Rahman won the award, Anil Kapoor and Sharukh Khan 'distinguished' themselves(single quotes mine, with a snigger) by showing passion etc. While the hollywood guys were showing appreciation by politely clapping, Anil showed true Indian passion(!, exlcamation mine) by 'clowning around'(words mine - have substituted the eulogy of times for his clowning), and Sharukh Khan rocked by blowing kisses to the crowd"
I mean, can anyone of you react to that?
There is one word that crossed my mind when I read that - "Thoo!"
idhu dhaan bollywood media coverage latchanam.
raja_fan - sorry i am ignoring your commandment.
