ARR on IR style??? no way......ARR is always unique and will stay so.......thats y we like him, if he had bbeen like IR he wud have bcome another deva only..........the sluggish tunes/rythms that u see now are a sign of maturity.....he wants to xperiment........how long can he churn muqablas and mustafas??? its like Sachin who has stopped playing like wat he was in 90's.....

Mangta hai kya - Shwetha shetty and ARRahman - it was probably the first ARR hindi song.....

.......with catchy rythms and interesting interludes, this song was a immediate crowd puller.......the first interlude has a african touch supported by pretty good beats.....a feel good song which had sounds of Ramu as well........wish ARR works with Ramu again.....

Mangta Hai Kya....

I think this song was way ahead of its times... the arrangement .. voice .. mixing. .. broke all conventions....
Its only an irony that the success of this song was masked by the enitre album of superlatives...

Hulkster... ARR was never on IR's way... infact, ARR is creating a new path & an eye opener for all the current MD with his Pray For Me Brother .....

and def he isnt on IR's path when it comes to music.... if not... he would be just like another Deva for IR ....

....

about Rangeela... goodness...the effect of Rangeela in Hindi Film Industry is phenomenal !! the best i loved was Kadhale..... Ennai Seithayo....Yen Kangalil....Pugunde Kondaiyo... excellent love melody.... aahh... wut about Hai Rama... ?? excellent arrangments of loops & instruments used .... remember how it was aped by Deva in Hello movie [Intha Nimisham]...

and the anthem of India - Rangeela Re.... ....

hulk anna ARR and IR completely different styles

ARR brought in new music wid singers.........ARR brought the drums da beats da passion

Yen arumaiyaana nanbargaley..IR style does not mean IR style of music..it means he is treading the similar path of IR where IR used to gave hit albums one after another during his peak but once global stage came calling he focussed on some albums and gave hit songs(one or two) in another...misunderstanding pa misunderstanding :P

i think this factor is more of " the cycle of time " .... history repeats :P

I really don't know at first that Rangeela was a Hindi movie

It's really took a few months to know that............IMO this is one of the best Hindi to Tamil transition ever, be it the lyrics or the choice of singers absolutely perfect,one of my ever top ten songs is Kya Kare/Kamban Shelly & Haiyaiyo, both songs are very very rare in Tamil, if I played now someone will ask me is it a new song

SPB 'n Udit's voice perfectly match the music

In that case is another talent coming to break ARR?..well even if he comes he wunt break ARR as ARR is already a global icon...the same when ARR broke IR when IR moved on to symphony and instrumental albums...its a recurring process as u said :P

Rangeela..if i am not wrong this was ARR's first with Ram Gopal Varma and also first in hindi. Fantastic tunes with a deep longingness of romance displayed in the songs which probably reflected on the movie in which aamir only gets urmila at the end. Somehow the songs did not propel ARR to the heights he is now in HFM then . Before this film came ARR's pudhiya mugam which highlighted his penchant for mixing the situation's atmosphere within the tunes of his songs which really made him unique. :P Same bodes here as well. If RGV's picturisation was better the songs would really have been a blockbuster on screen.

**dinesh2002** · 4th March 2007, 04:08 PM

yup Hulkster... agreed with both ur post above...

but i think Rangeela's BLOCKBUSTER HIT status was satisfying... i mean...gosh...the amount of times the songs was beein played around...though i was young that time...i still can remember its effect... and also Kadhalan's effect... one of ARR's greatest time in his career....
