A.R Rahman's son gives debut performance at CIFF

.Chennai, Dec 13 (IANS) Oscar-winning Indian composer A.R Rahman's son Ameen gave his first public performance at the opening ceremony of 10th Chennai International Film Festival (CIFF) here Thursday.

The 10-year-old Ameen performed a short medley on the piano from Mani Ratnam's "Roja" to a full house here, while students from Rahman's KM music conservatory also entertained with exhilarating performances.

Members from KM foundation choir performed "Al Maddath Maula" from Aamir Kan starrer "Mangal Pandey" and two of Rahman's greatest Tamil hits from "Thiruda Thiruda" and "Kadhalan".

The event was led by Tamil actress Suhasini Maniratnam along with Tamil actor R. Sarath Kumar, president, South Indian Artists Association and Tamil director Ameer and cinematographer S.P Jananathan.

Speaking at the event, Sarath Kumar said: "This event wouldn't have been possible without the support of Tamil Nadu government and the relentless effort of Suhasini and her team".

"We've requested the state government to sanction us funds to have separate screening theatres to organize film festivals and encourage the development of arts," he added.

The eight-day long event will screen 154 films from over 50 countries. Out of the 154 films, 12 Tamil, 9 Indian panorama and 133 foreign films will be screened.

The 12 Tamil films will compete in a special category competition to be judged by Veteran Tamil actor Sivakumar, cinematographer B.R Vijayalakshmi and national award winning Tamil director A. Sarkunam.

The winners will receive trophies from megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Dec 20. The opening film of the festival was French drama "Amour".

Music Review: Kadal

And the magicians are back! Music genius A.R. Rahman gives his best for a Mani Ratnam and Kadal is nothing less than a musical treat. The duo has once again taken Tamil film music to the next level. Here we take a look...
The album begins with the soft and serene 'Chitirai Neela' rendered in the soulful voice of Vijay Yesudas. Vairamuthu's magical words have further uprised the emotions. This song is about a new born baby's cry... Then comes the gospel-styled 'Adiye' sung by Sid Sriram. Madhan Karky's lyrics are soulful and Rahman gives a new touch to this choir like track. Abhay Jodhpurkar and Harini have rendered the soft haunting melody 'Moongil Thottam' with supreme confidence while the man himself, Rahman, has sung the mond blowing 'Elay Keechan' which takes music to next level. Nobody expect Rahamn could think of adding such elegance to this country styled fishermen track.
And finally here we have the whimsical 'Nenjukkule' sung by A.R. Rahman and Shakthisree Gopalan. This song, which was premiered at the MTV Unplugged, is already a viral hit. It is pure magic indeed. Rahman has roped in Chennai Chorale for the choir-ish 'Anbin Vaasale' crooned by Haricharan. The album ends with the refreshing 'Magudi Magudi' in the electrifying voices of Aaryan Dinesh, Chinmayee and Tanvi Shah.
Mani Ratnam-Rahman never fails, and we agree that. This album is a pure magic.
