Allah-Rakha Rahman to be named cultural ambassador http://nation.sc/article.html?id=246...lrR9k.facebook
I did hear ARR been presented in the French National Channel during prime time [Vivement Dimanche (a French expression meaning 'Can't wait for Sunday') with the host Michel Drucker]. I was in India, and was sure that I will find the clip here, thanks Anand.
(0:00-02:45)
The Host Michel presents Bharati, an Indian Dance-Theatre putting a show January 2016 at Grand Rex, Paris, followed by a promotional clip.
(02:45-03:10)
ARR is introduced as a name that every one in the worlds knows/recognises but a face no one has seen. [He pronounces ARR name with a thick French Accent - AR_RAKHAMAN]. He invites ARR as an exceptional musician after the intro about Slum Dog Millionaire.
(03:27-03:42)
Host : [Asks Mika (Lebanese singer/composor) to translate]. I welcome you (read ARR) and I am very proud to have you with us, as you are a very famous and known musician here (read France). Slumdog Millionaire was N°1 at the world box office during 2008 and congrats for the 2 oscars.
(03:52-03:58)
Host Question 1 : How did you start your career ? Is there a musician in your family ?
Mika Translates what ARR speaks.
(04:13-04:18)
Host Question 2 : How do you explain the phenomenal sucess of Slumdog Millionaire ?
Mika Translates what ARR says.
(04:52-05:25)
Mika : What is astonishing is that ARR is one of the composers with the most sucess in the history of music and in the world. (Host murmurs : 'On the planet'). 200 million albums sold. (His sucess) shadows the big stars like Madonna. He is a very simple human who is extermely spiritual, and has worked in 130 OST of films; 130 different films !
(05:25-05:29 )
Host : Is the Television Show 'The Voice' a famous telecast in your country (read India) ?
Mika continues by explaining the viewership count by comparing India with France, where the ratio of spectators is about 300:20 million respectively.
ARR announces that India is a Musical country ...
The host makes a sarcastic joke that even 20 million viewers would be a dream for the program's producer and ends the show by thanking ARR.

New York honour for Rahman
The Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan of New York honoured music maestro A R Rahman with World Icon award recently. The Mozart of Madras is obviously so happy about it.
“I felt nostalgic and humbled by NewYork Nagaram’s Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s honour today. எல்லாப் புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே,” the Oscar-Grammy winner posted on his online page.
Presently, Rahman is composing music for football legend Pele’s biopic, titled ‘Pele: Birth of a Legend’. In Kollywood, he is busy with a string of projects, including Gautham Vausdev Menon’s ‘Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada’.
Recently, Rahman met Pele in Kolkata. Before meeting Pele, Rahman posted on his micro-blogging page, “Excited to meet Pele this evening in Kolkata!” After the meeting, he uploaded a picture of him with Pele and wrote: “With the awesome Pele in Calcutta…!”
AR Rahman receives Hridaynath Mangeshkar Award
Mumbai, Oct 26 (PTI) Renowned music composer A R Rahman was conferred with Hridaynath Mangeshkar Award here this evening.
Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai presented the fifth Hridaynath Mangeshkar Award to Rahman on the 78th birthday of Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, well-known composer and the younger brother of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
"The music of Hridaynath-ji is an inspiration," Rahman said, adding that the Mangeshkar family has been upholding a great musical traditions across generations.
Ghai, who has worked with the 48-year old musician in "Taal", said more than being a celebrity, Rahman is a beautiful soul.
"He didn't know Hindi or Punjabi but worked 70 nights on the music of "Taal" and proved he is the best musician. He is not only a big celebrity, he is a beautiful soul," Ghai said.
Hridaynath Mangeshkar said Rahman had made the country proud with his outstanding contribution to music.
Grammy Award winning Hindustani classical musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and 2014 Grammy winner Ricky Kej were also present at the event.
The first Hridaynath Award was given to Lata Mangeshkar.
Asha Bhosle, Amitabh Bachchan and veteran actress Sulochana have also received this award in the past.
Rahman won the Oscar for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, sharing it with lyricist Gulzar, for Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" in 2009.
The composer has also won four National Awards in a career spanning over two decades.
He has recently composed for Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer romantic-comedy "Tamasha", directed by Imtiaz Ali.
MSV cried while speaking about A.R.Rahman's music - Y.Gee Mahendra | Paritchaikku Neramaachu Drama
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2BOBO13xa4
Thanks for the links Anand. I knew YGM is a crazy fan of MSV. He once mentioned that while Ilayaraja is a great music composer, he is not as great as MSV (his opinion, ofc). What I find honest is that he still thinks that MSV is the greatest but he thinks Rahman is a great human being. It might be true that he had to praise Rahman so much considering that a person of Rahman's stature watched his drama (medai alangaram) but still, there is some truth in his opinion that Rahman is a good man. As a fan of Rahman's music, it means little to me that YGM thinks Rahman is a great human being. But I share his opinion on "khwaja mere khwaja".

mom : a ar rahman musical
Mom, starring Sridevi, is an intense play. The dramatization of the incident - sex shoved with violence and then - violence provoked after the sexual act - are visually balanced between bloodshed and sentiment. What attracted me to watch the film is AR Rahman.
There is a virtual industry producing emotions inside. How would it be like to gain access into the corner of this factory, where a collection of all those ugly emotional break downs like anger, agony, shock, etc., resides. Inside this manufacturing den, a continuous chant echoes – a voice reciting the words of despair.
Siting in a corner of this haunted plant is a manual for retribution.
'I cannot be present everywhere, so I created Mom', the front page of the manual reads the author's note signed by God.
The instructions continue right away, "Not all is visible; few things could be seen only with eyes wide shut. At times righteousness is achieved through sinful acts. Neither one is justifiable though. That’s the wicked nature of Love. Get them all, set her free."
The key to exit this frightening industry is obtained only after distinguishing worse from worst.
'Raakh Baaki' is a tour into this scary part of the factory of emotions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj2JijuYYEY
AR Rahman pops emotion out of the industrial sounds. The song is a short travel, yet an unforgettable one. Its gripping at the same time haunting, locking the listener inside a specific mood.
There are other fabulous songs in the soudntrack of Mom, just like the above one. About the movie, it does not depend who is watching, but what the person is looking for in the film. Mom-the film is a melodrama that explores couple of its characters in depth, and leaves the rest of them wander aimlessly in the film. Sridevi breaking down in tears at the hospital and then starring at the emptiness in the court room are scenes filled to the brim with emotion. As usual AR Rahman discretely stamps his mark.
MoM - Mind of Man
PS : 'God cannot be everywhere, thats why he created Mom' / 'distinguishing worse from worst' are both dialogues in the movie.
