A R Rahman : Non-Hindi works - Page 12

Hi all

Oh I'm so late on this topic....my fav MD....vidyaah ji shared almost all my fav....I'm a Telugu but I probably hear more Tamil than Telugu....I just love Kandukondein, Iruvar,Indira, Kannatthil Muttamittal, Alaipayuthey.

A special mention shud go to...
DUET - Anjali Anjali....the humming in between by Chitra is just fantabulous....there is also a En Kadhalae...I luv this song...u shud hear this
http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/movie/T0000042.html also the lyrics in En Kadhalae...

In all his movies atleast there r two songs which r worth buying the CD
In Boys - Enoo Eno ondru(I guess sung by Karthik n Gopika Poornima)
Baba - Taayum neeye or Sakthi Kodu)
Jodi - almost all good songs
Kadal Virus - I luv Sonnaalum Keppadillai
Love Birds - Malazhgale

and the list goes on n on....
Harris Jayaraj shows a great influence of Rehman in movies like Kaakka Kaakka, Minnalae and Anniyan...

And also I luv the way AR Rehman acknowledges his instrumentalists on CD/cassette covers....in case of any special pieces in songs, he makes sure the company prints the credits.Also the way he introduces new singers...there r so so many of them who have been introduced by him n r flourishing now....atleast the ones who came into light after singing for him wud be Harini,Karthik,Srinivas,Ganga,Chinmayi,Tippu and lots more.

He also asks the music company to print the name of chorus singers on covers...I had seen the practise only with Rehman for the first time...not sure if anyone else also did that....

arun ji, I've been living outside for so long now that its not even funny!! my telugu is really bad.. i spoke to a friend of mine in telugu recently..he was like dont even try !!

as for tamil/telugu music.. i am sure tamil sounds best coz its original..but often u appreciate the song more because of lyrics..they sound gorgeous in tamil but when i hear them in telugu or hindi they make more sense.. sum1 mentioned harris jayraj.. he sounds like a rahman clone !! i still cant believe that Rahman DIDN'T give music for RHTDM or Anniyan..

on a side note.. i thought anniyan/aparichitudu was one of hte best movies to hit indian cinema off late...

Sorry missed this one. Read first 5 pages, don't know if anyone mentioned 'Sangamam' (Tamil) Some good classical numbers like 'Varaga Nadhi karai' by Shankar Mahadevan. , and 'Sowkiyamaa' by NithyaShree

I also found the instruments to be more traditional, rather than the techno-sounds. Definately a little different for ARR.

Ok guys - here goes one song by ARR from the upcoming tamil movie : Godfather.

thanks soul soup. Hey I need links will let U know ok pal.

Soulsoup ji,Wat song is that?
There's a song called "Kaatril" by SPB n Sadhna Sargam
Pretty Good compostion

Guys am sorry for the late entry...but i just saw a comparision between ARR and Illayaraja and someone said that ARR is better than IRR.
I beg to differ....ARR has a long way to go to meet IRR. Since ARR has impressed audience with his new age music he is now worshipped. Dont mistake me here, am a greattt fan of ARR, one of the greatest if i can say so.
But comparision with IRR cannot be done at this stage. IRR during his hay days, 70-90s was awesome. His melodies are still remembered. He hasnt composed many hindi movies- So the non-tamil/non-telugu audience are nt able to appreciate him.

For me.....He is the best, anyday!

great post:) hahahha
i absolutely love AR Rahman's work... and would anyone happen to have the soundtrack from Warriors of Heaven and Earth? and uhh...mandarin also?! mygoodness he's everywhere:):):)
