The Perfect AR Rahman Concert – Part II

And this is where we see the Part II of The Perfect AR Rahman Concert. Part I is here.
16. Aathangara Marame (Kizhaku Cheemayile):

The rural tone is done so incredibly well that they made sure they captured the rural milieu well on screen. Even with those faces!
17. Kannaikatti Kollade (Iruvar):

The Perfect AR Rahman Concert – Part I

Karthik coined this phrase – Rahman Realization Point – wherein you finally became one with the genius of A.R Rahman. The moment of truth when it would have struck you that here is someone special. Someone whose sound will transcend borders within and out of the world. It could have happened with the very first [...]

An Ode to a Beautiful Soul

Men of very few words are either geniuses that let their work do the talking or mavericks upto some crime or the other. Fortunately, we in India, have seen the former ones more often than not. There are only two names that spell inspiration and joy to India in the last two decades. One is [...]

Rahman’s 2008

5 Hindi films were composed by Rahman in 2008. 1 Tamil and a Hollywood film, with Oscar hopes, and Hindi numbers.
It has been a mixed bag year, with some truly brilliant compositions and some that were mediocre. The lofty expectations from a Rahman album is to be blamed, but that’s the flipside of setting high [...]

Ghajini and Slumdog Millionaire

Max is probably going to flame me. We agreed, once upon a time, that the music of Ghajini is very mediocre. I am going to go back on that statement. Ghajini is the most infectious soundtrack of Rahman ever and it grows on you like no other album of his. It’s not the best ever [...]

Are you Listening?

I have nothing to write about. I have a lot to code but nothing to write. There is Preeti’s tag but that I’ll do  it sometime this weekend. I keep switching music genres and if it’s youtube, it is mostly carnatic. The thing about carnatic music, there are some songs that particular singers make their [...]

Sakarakatti: Rahman in Top Form

So, I’ve been listening to the music of Sakarakatti- the new Tamil album from AR Rahman with all new faces. I don’t know much about the movie but the music sure is Rahmanesque!
There are 4 new songs and 2 old ones by Rahman rehashed. Taxi Taxi that is a fun number relating friends to Taxis [...]

What About Everything?

Nothing to write now. I fiddled with few of the themes and settled for this one. But I guess I’ll change it to a better one after some time. There were many issues concering readability in the old theme. This serves the purpose for now. Hope it makes Maami and others happy!
And I just heard [...]

Meherban…

Just when you thought, he cannot get better than this, he comes back with one of the most heavenly compositions I’ve heard in a long time. Including those from him and considering his standards. This is brilliant stuff! My room mate’s often used phrase is very apt – ” Adhu epdi adhu avanala mattun mudiyudhu!” [...]

Hooked!

I caught up with some English movies after a long time. I don’t know why but for a long time I was stuck in watching Tamil and Hindi stuff. That too, repeat viewing of old ones. I saw Indiana Jones yesterday and 21 today. Liked both of them. You need to remember the old Indiana [...]
