Thalapathi !!

Shankar and AR Rahman

Shankar – “Enna Sollareenga, Rahman !!”
Rahman – “Panalaam. Kandippa Pannalaam”

These were the last lines overheard from Shankar and Rahman’s conversation, during the audio launch of S J Suryaa’s NEW film, Ah Aah !![Anbe Aaruyirey]. You are free to imagine/share the rest of the discussion.

I hate this kind of a gossip post. But then after the Anniyan mishap, I am forced to. Sometimes it’s fun, like this one.

    Ashwini: Porumai romba mukkiyam, particular in case of ARR. But this album seems to have at least one or two gems – Mayil Irahai and Anbe Aaruyire for example.

    And as I read somewhere, thats all someone like SJS deserves. A movie like New does not deserve something like Thottal Poo Malarum and Kalayil Dhinamum.

    Btw, Naresh Iyer (the guy ARR picked out of Channel [V]’s Super Singer contest) seems to be a good find. Ideally he should go the Karthik (who he reminds me of, incidentlly) way rather than the Balaram way.

    from the trailer of Ah AAh, I think it will be exactly like NEW, filled with vulgarity, and will make probably more money than NEW.

    Liked thazhuvudhu the most.
    Found the title track good too…but somehow I felt the music was too complex overall…even the names of the songs are not conventional rahman style..everything is pure tamil…is it some kind of signal to the PMK, that they have surrendered in front of the pervasive and powerful chauvinists?

    Great so many like Ah Aah. Anti and Shan, true AR’s music grows on you…the more u listen the more you like. But this time…according to me its just sheer noise with abaswaramana songs with equally terrible choice of singers…but if this is known as new sound I will put every effort in listening to the songs hoping it will grow on me!

    And Shan I hear no “delicate thoughtful vocals” in this album. No offence meant just my opinion.

    ‘Aa aah’ music turns out to be ‘Ayoh aah..’ for me…even the so-called ‘Mayilarahai’ sounded like a stale remix of some yesteryear MSV numbers..it looks like Rahman composing for it in a highly doped state…don’t ask abt other songs.

    Ashwini,

    I like Anbe Aaruyire !!. Probably because of the ‘tamizh’ lyrics and rahman’s vocals. he just goes to that pitch so well. not that it isn’t do-able.

    It also sounded like an MGR song owing to SJ Surya being a MGR fan and we know that he comes from Bhagyaraj school of film making.

    Have to listen to other songs yet.

    I guess ARR did a good job in ‘Ah-Aah’. As someone said thats more than deserving for a SJ Surya film.

    Btw, ‘Anbe Aaruyire…’ reminds me of Nagoor Haniffaa. Anybody felt the same?

    A Aah songs are Ok but what i wonder is ARR happily compose for semi-sexual NEW and Anbe Aaruyiree but refuses to score BGM for the [Poor and Pity and bit real life storeyed] Boys.

    Shankar is an egoless guy. But it worries me that ARR, inspite of his Busy UK Shedules, has time to work for guys like S.J surya but have no time to work for Anniyan ???

    Hope guys you get this conteroversial behavior from ARR

    I don’t see any controversy there. There’s a huge difference between composing songs and composing background score for a film, which obviously involves studying the visuals. Maybe that makes ARR a bit uncomfortable. As for Anniyan, when the film was being conceived, ARR was busy with his international assigment. Anbe Aruyire came much later when he could commit himself to it. I’m sure ARR & Shankar will work together again.

    ARR has mixed SUFI music with a bit of pop. It sounds more like Strings and Fuzon of the pakistani pop scene. Thats pretty new to the indian music stage.
