Changing Seasons (RAAVANAN OST) Artist - AR RAHMAN Lyrics - Vairamuthu MY RATING - 10/10   This arrival of this had been making waves among billions of Rahmaniacs. We were hinted with a few photographs of Rahman walking past a chopper etc, and finally the video is out. It is called CHANGING SEASONS, which is in fact, the OST of Raavanan, the track previously known as NAAN VARUVEN. Naan varuven meendum varuven unnai naan thodarven uyiraal thoduven… oru pillai ezhuthum kirukal dan vaazhkaiyo athil artham thedi alaivathe vetkaiya artham puriyum poothu vazhuvu maaruthe Vazhvu kazhiyum pothu artham konjam maaruthe azhuthuk kondu odi vanthom sirithu konde vaanam povom oru pillai ezhuthum kirukal dan vaazhkaiyo athil artham thedi alaivathe vetkaiya Naan varuven meendum varuven unnai naan thodarven Naan varuven meendum varuven Oh Veera… TRANSLATION by Pranesh ... i will come emerge again to follow you where ever you go and touch your soul with my life again

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAHMAN Rahman's big work??? What's that? On his 45th birthday he has tweeted a new sensation! A video where ARR is shown on alternate frames containing hungry coyote (or wolf???) and a damsel in distress (Dido? face not shown! So can't really tell).... His highness is walking away from a helicopter, somehow implicating Himesh Uncle's Aap Ka suroor Strides ...(I wouldn't compare the two...coz ARR is the best!) Excitement's all hands up especially since he has taken a temporary retirement from Films in 2011 after Imtiaz-Ranbir's Rockstar. Everyone's excited!!!

If I Rise Dido & AR Rahman 127 Hours OST Music : AR Rahman MY RATING - 10/10 Reflections If I Rise? What shall I do? Ever thought about that, Mr. Rahman??? in fact, have ever given it a thought that how much you already risen??? NO??? Hehe! he just gets better and better....there's PEAK for him...although his latest golden globe nominated track IF I RISE is an original soundtrack scored for Danny Boyle's latest film 127 HOURS...which is based on the story of a mountaineer. This track is perhaps a soul touching track! Rahman has touched almost everything available in the Himalayas for this song...you can in fact feel the fresh mountain breeze hitting you gently on your face as the smell of freshness touches your mind and relishes your spirit within! Deep within! Dido gives the balming effect! Slicing her holistic accent to curl up the final words of every stanza in the way of the elves! And when you start thinking that the song only has the repetitive hoking sou

pollcode.com free polls Rate this movie (out of 5) 1 2 3 4 5    There are somethings that really bother me... and one of those things is when unworthy things get all the undeserving praise while deserving one's go unnoticed....or even worse..are spit upon... Such is this movie....Jhootha Hi Sahi This is the second movie by Director Abbas Tyrewala, who's last tryst with Bollywood was Imran Khan - GENELIA (brainless) starrer Jaane Tu ya jaane na...which was quite undeserving..yet a huge blockbuster...among the Indian youth...However the second movie has failed to register any good impression in the minds of the same youth. The movie is a light romantic comedy, and picks up slowly with John attending an Indian Suicide hotline...coz of a little mistake on the side of the NGO or whatever run by Nandana Sen. That's how he has an encounter on phone with Mishka played brilliantly by Pakhi! John and Mishka become phone friends...although she still doesn't know anyt

Song Name: Hello Hello Jhootha Hi Sahi OST Singer(s): Karthik Music Director: A R Rahman Lyricist: Abbas Tyrewala My Rating - 8.9/10 Reflections Hello Hello is a midnight song...something that takes off from Karthik Calling Karthik's title track....with almost the same feeling...and and wonderful rendering by KARTHIK...the singer  lol! This is a good track....by Rahman Sir! HELLO HELLO (English Translation) Hello hello, hello hello Iss andheri kaali raat mein koi Sune to sunaye haal-e-dil pe haal-e-zindagi Hello hello, hello hello Koi jawab do na Jeenay ko khwaab do na Ik dost ka chehra Ya phir naqaab do na Hello hello, hello hello Hello Hello....in this dark night... if someone's eager I would narrate the story of my life.. Hello Hello...someone reply!!! Give me a reason to live.... get me a friend or a mask to hide my face.. Hello Hello! Telephone ki iss dor se, bandhi meri zindagi Koi khol do bas todh do, main choot jaaun abhi Mujhe chodh do,

I have been expecting a lot from this movie and it's obvious from the way I was trying to promote this movie on my blog. It's not just me, It's the entire Southern Part of India, that's been eagerly waiting for the release of this epic. What makes it more special is that, it's going to be my first Rajni padam (film). Although, I saw Baasha at the time of it's release, but then I was a little kid and didn't understand anything. Now, decades later, Rajni Sir is back with Shankar's Endhiran. Endhiran starts off with cute as well as dirty humor which can make the young and old chuckle indifferently. The Robot 'CHITTI' is shown as an innocent learner in the first few scenes and his innocence perfectly gels with Santhanam & Karunas apt one liners. There's special cameo by Malayalam actors late Cochin Hanifa & Kalabhavan Mani and an entire scene with the mosquitoes of Chennai (:P)....and mind it! It's really funny. Rajni as Dr.Vasigh

The Excitement is colossal and so is the expectation from this magnum opus by Shankar. Endhiran has the greatest names in Indian Cinema & World Cinema alike amalgamated together. These names include- Shankar - Director of Sivaji, Kadalan, Anniyan, Indian (Hindustani)---In short, directors of Blockbusters Thalaiva Rajnikant - The highest paid actor in Asia! Nothing more to say about him! He is a demigod in himself! AR RAHMAN - The double oscar winner scoring some of his best works...The songs are awesome....all of them! Aishwarya Rai - The eternal beauty of India..... SUN PICTURES - The biggest production house of Asia (since it has whooped out 190 crore rupees for this Film) Stan Winston Studios - Takes care of the animatronics in the film... Industrial Lights and Magic - take care of the special effects (40 crore spent on sfx) Yuen Woo Ping - The best from Hong Kong and Chinese films! When such is the lineup, it's natural to have high hopes pinned on the film...I

Cry Cry (Jhootha Hi Sahi OST) Singer(s): Rashid Ali, Shreya Ghoshal Music Director: A R Rahman Lyrics: Abbas Tyrewala Director: Abbas Tyrewala MY RATING - 9.1/10 REFLECTIONS Wow! That's how I begin my REFLECTIONS on almost every Rahman song! This one's no exception....it's a jazzy night time song....very peaceful & melodious alike! Sounds like Abbas Tyrewala hasn't really taken off from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.....The song's quite similar to the songs of Jaane Tu...Maybe it's the perfect use of Rashid Ali's silky voice... No..No I am not criticizing Rahman...this one's distinct from the Jaane tu songs..although they are on the same vessel. Cry Cry is a new twisted Angrezi Desi repentance song with the freshness of being jazzy. It's a nice one.... Rotey kaayko hum hey Rotey kaayko hum Why do we cry?? Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum Let things happen as they will...why do we get sad?   Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko Itn

पागल अनुकण/ Paagal अनुकन Music - AR Rahman Singers -  Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire MY RATINGS - 9.5/10 Reflections "Ho...baby....O baby....pyaara tera gussa bhi....Oh Baby...O Baby...."... OOps, I'm sorry, i didn't realize I was making this post! I'm sorry...it's just that ever since I have started listening to this track...I have been humming along....continuously.... Ahem...This is the hindi version of the song KAADHAL ANUKAL (Love Microbes) from the Mega Rajni movie- ENDHIRAN (ROBOT in Hindi). As you can already see...I am high...and no m not on drugs (lol..except for d painkillers I am taking for my injured limb :P )...it's the intoxicating nature of this song...that's given me this high! Listen to it....I even loved the video...Rajni looking out of his shoes! The 60 something demi-God looks a mere 30 in this one.....love the locales of the song.... AMAZING! Besides...it's Mohit Chauhan!!!! Ooooo....teaming

Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto ( Oh Yaro Ye India Bula Liya) Music & Singer : AR Rahman Lyrics : Mehboob MY RATING - 9.1/10 Reflections It's total bullshit what the media has resurged with, claiming that the CWG's official anthem is disappointing and off-theme! BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT! It's not like waka waka...you know why??? C oz it's better than that! Its just that Rahman demanded 5.5 crore as renumeration for the song, that hasn't gone well with the 'Critics'. But, considering the fact that more amount in hundreds of crores have been going into the pockets of the OC, this amount seems too little and at least it's been dealt in the open, unlike the OC. The track starts slowly....like an early morning sunrise...when people rise from their beds...and then after a minute or so....the track changes it's pace completely...it's fast and awe-inspiring throughout! RAHMAN rocks....although not as good as Maa Tujhe Salaam. Maybe they should ha

Excerpts from oneindia.com It seems Endhiran bug has finally bitten cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan. Murali, who is a big fan of superstar Rajinikanth, has said that he is eagerly waiting for the release of the film. Muralitharan, who recently retired from cricket after reaching 800 wickets milestone, is a Tamil movie buff. He says that he has seen Rajini's Sivaji more than 15 times. He hopes that Endhiran will be big hit and break all the previous records of Rajinikanth. Endhiran is said to be releasing on September 24. The movie stars Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Bachchan in the lead roles. Oscar winner AR Rahman has composed the music, R. Rathnavelu has handled the camera and it is directed by S. Shankar.

Jhootha Hi Sahi - झूठा ही सही (The Liar's honest/right) Directed by - Abbas Tyrewsla Cast - John Abraham, Pakhi Tyrewala, Anaitha Nair, R Madhavan (Cameo) Produced by - Madhu Mantena, Sharan Kapoor Music - AR RAHMAN (Irshad Kamil - lyrics) MY RATING - 9/10 So waht? I was surprised when I first saw the promo! Of course, everybody would, who has seen John in glam roles is bound to be surprised. At first, I was like...Who's this geeky guy wearing huge specs??? And then! My eyes popped out...Oh My God! that's John....the Persian Malayalee is way out of his HOT BOD shoes and fits perfectly as the LOVEABLE CUTE GEEK...who well...of course...stammers.... Previously titled as 1-800-love....It seems like the director of Jaane tu ya jaane na...Abbas Tyrewala likes to make Hollywoodish stories with totally unknown casts. Hope it works....again....the promo was good...and I expect it to be better than the previous flick - Jaane Tu...(which by the way..I believe is the most ove
