It is a known fact that with Baba, ARR has marked his 10th year in TFM in a Big Way.
The beneficiaries of this prodigy's talents, tat’s us the fans, have decided to call for Celebrations in a Big Way.
Hence, a Constellation of ARR Fans from the newtfmpage Forum got together and took a walk down memory lane, through each year of A Decade of Rahmania.

The fruit of our labour saw the creation of a whole new Website, "10 Years of Universal Conquest", in Dedication to ARR.

Hey what happened to you, Are u caught by the Virus ???

Hey!! Hey!! Enna aachu unakku [Hey, what happened to you] is the most talked about song in the Tamil world. A R Rahman coming back with his youthful tune and Vasundra Das rocking the teenagers world with her shakalaka voice in the movie Kadhal Virus. Similar song to the one in Nayak [Mudhalvan in Tamil], this has a hip-hop tune and in the lyrics the girl asking her guys to be of certain principles and qualities, many of them are youthful and some really useful.

This is A R Rahman's come back music after Bombay Dreams because his music for Baba [Rajinikanth's latest movie] was criticized for lack of attention given to songs and background score. The movie also sports 5 more songs each of a different variety. TR Simbu, the latest addition to the youngster heroes in tamil has contributed a techno song to this movie called 'Bailamore'. 'Vaannila' by Srinivas and Karthik is the next best after 'Sonnalum' in the melodious mood rendered by Unnikrishnan and Harini. SP Balasubramanian with his evergreen voice also comes back after some time with a melodramatic 'Enthan Vaanin'.

Kadhal Virus is the most expected movie with Kathir’s direction. His previous movies have been trendsetters like Idhayam[Heart], Kadhal Desam[World of Love] and Kadhalar Dinam[Valentines Day]. However it is a feast for A R Rahman lovers.

where did u c this interview?? KTV?
I missed it :(
From: WN (@ 203.24.100.132) on: Mon Nov 11 04:51:23 EST 2002

Thanks magix. on KTV. I got some confused emails. I translated the interview myself and did not c&p from some other website.

Interview lasted for abt 15 mins. I'll translate Kadhir's interview later if I have time. The questions mainly involved the music and ARR. Kadhir was raving about ARR and said he was an inspiring MD and that if u work with him once, u'll never want to leave him as his music too magnetic, etc etc. He also said that he gets the best out of ARR by not putting any pressure on him. He said Bailamore is for a fashion show and it is a new sound in TFM.

Thiru the probs with many would be, including me, is that they don't have that much time to click the link and browse thru the pages. If the relevant contents are posted here then it would be easy. newtfmpage browsing haas become a addiction sort of thing and with what ever little time we get at office hours, we only prefer to browse newtfmpage. So please post the contents too.

By copying and pasting here, you are possibly violating the copyright owner's rights. Also, by doing so (ie., copying and pasting instead of providing the link) you are possibly preventing some legitimate hits to that website which is what websites monetize upon (there by economically affecting them).

For example, the Times of India web site lets you print and disseminate information from their web site if it is for non-commercial/personal use. However, it also states that it not okay for their content to be reproduced at any other websites, so copying and posting here may be a potential violation of copyright. An extra click of your means respecting the rights of the content owner in most cases.

Just trying to put things in perspective. Really wouldn't mind if you folks copy and paste here, but something to think about.

Just a Thought,
u might have some valid points..at the sametime pls note that there are 100s of websites having information about cinema and some of them do require a userid/password/subscription stuff.. It makes sense to post comments from those websites because every reader who wants to read that news has to go thro the hassle of registering and subscribing stuff just for that 10 line article... Also most of the ppl surf the web from office, there are certain companies who have a firewall with content like movies, sex, masala etc... those ppl can read this content through this newtfmpage.... and few of them do surf the web from internet cafes at a lower dialing speed and its better for them to read the news at a faster loading page like newtfmpage rather than the vikatan or kumudham pages which are loaded with images and stuff...
From: Just a thought (@ 131.107.3.67) on: Wed Nov 20 20:33:12 EST 2002

Thiru,

I agree with all the hassles you mention. I am not going to report TFMPagers to the content owners :-) (not that they would take action if I report because this site is not commercial). My point is that we seem to take things for granted (like copying stuff is okay) with little or no concern for copyright owners (and with solely our convenience in mind)! Too bad. However, this is a less inappropriate behavior compared with putting up the latest songs on the net. (I am guessing this has been discussed to death in newtfmpage before, so I am skipping that).

To be a little more conscientious, posters should at least acknowledge the source URL, which people seem to be doing in the thread anyways. That way, may be you are driving traffic to that website when they like an article and want more of the same kind.
