6 Songs : Mind Blowing!!

Simply mind-blowing

November 20

Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi can’t stop raving about the songs of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. “A.R. Rahman and Mani Sir and dynamite together,” says Vivek on the sets of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria’s Masti, and adds, “The six songs Rahman has recorded for the film are mind-blowing.”

Ajay Devgan, his co-star in Yuva and Masti, uses the same words to describe them. Incidentally, when the film was launched earlier this year, Mani Ratnam had decided not to have a single song in it.

Vivek also feels that Abhishek Bachchan’s is the best role and best performance in the film. “That guy’s career will take off in a big way after Yuva,” predicts Vivek.

  Hi again everyone! And aish, the vcd released on 25 Jun 04. So, I was right in saying it might release in July! Juz that I said late july - a bit too long.
  
  dinesh, Why do you even care about Arul - its a BIG flop even Hari is worryin abt. ARUL VCD goes in a special discount (in Olis m3), they couldnt possibly sell more than 5! AE is the top movie in S'pore. As well as songs. ARUL gets 6th in Super 10, Suntv. While AE beats Gilli both in Singapore & India. Sandai Kozhi is the top. I donno when's the next time I'll be here b4 nov. But surely for a few more hours... Now that NEW released, ellarum antha thread-ku odi vangga. AE-ku bye, NEW-ku hello sollunga!

  Mani Ratnam Vs Bollywood: Courtesy: CineSouth.com
  Yuva is a second blow to Mani Ratnam in Bollywood. The 1998 flop Dil Se.. was his first blow. Though directors like Balachander and Bhagayaraj had done some very successful films in Hindi, it is Mani Ratnam who is acknowledged as the South Indian director. He had directed about 18 films and with exception to Pagal Nilavu and Idhaya Koil, almost all the other films had been either dubbed or remade in Hindi.
  Only Roja and Bombay did well. Everything else failed. These are films that did very well in Tamil.The reason behind this is baffling- though Mani Ratnam is very talented in composing frames, he is still a very Tamil director. In the case of Roja and Bomba, he didn’t have any ideas of remaking the films in Hindi. But the success of these films inspired him to make Dil Se.. and Yuva.
  In Bollywood, the narratives are very much like those in Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Company. But, Mani’s narrative belongs to neither the former nor the latter. Abhishek Bachchan’s character in the film ‘Yuva’ was done a hundred times better in Ram Gopal Varma’s Company.
  When Mani was asked if he will remake the film Kannathil Muthamittal in Hindi, he replied that films have to be made keeping the nativity of the people, their lifestyles and culture in mind.
  But, he has forgotten this and this is the reason why the film Yuva bombed. The films that he didn’t make for the Bollywood culture has done so well there and the film that was specifically made for them had bombed. This only shows that he is a typical Tamil film director.
  Ahead of its time: Courtesy: The Hindu
  These are the criticisms that have surrounded Mani Ratnam's latest bi-lingual, Aayitha Ezhuthu (Tamil) and Yuva (Hindi). Here is a review of Aayitha Ezhuthu (Tamil) from Chennai Online.com. Here is a review by Taran Adarsh from IndiaFM.com of Yuva. "YUVA" AND "Aayitha Ezhuthu," Mani Ratnam's latest have opened to mixed reactions from the youth. Those who love it, love it and think it is the best movie of the year. As a friend says, "I loved the violence in the movie. I think it's reflective of the frustrations we want to take out and our desire to kick evil out of the system." One would quite agree.Those who don't like the movie, have their issues, like a colleague, who found it to be "an assault" on her senses. The other common reaction was: "How can Mani Ratnam make a movie with a Shankar kind of Utopian ending?" But that is understandable given the story was essentially about three men and their roles within a violent system: good, bad and indifferent. And, why should one look at it as a Mani Ratnam film? Why not see it just as a movie that entertains and makes you think? Besides, the director has had a history of finding conveniently easy solutions to his conflicts like in "Roja," "Bombay" and now "Aayitha Ezhuthu." And if not for the movies, where can we see such optimism?
  "Real life and corruption aren't inspiring. We need the movies for that. I was inspired watching this movie. We can make a difference," says Sravan, who has just passed out of college.The conservative women in the audience, however, are objecting to the portrayal of the women in the movie. "What is this woman doing going back to the man who keeps hitting her? And what is the other girl doing with a useless boy she met at the disco? Practising swimming? And couldn't he find any other actress who at least could speak the language for the doll role?" But the point is: Haven't we seen them around? The women in the slums who live with the men they love in spite of all the abuse? Haven't we seen the girl in college who goes out for coffee with another guy even when she's engaged? And the romantic one who is even willing to move in? Maybe some people find the movie "ahead of its time," but that's only because they are losing touch with the current crop of young people living in the metros. It is a metropolitan movie. Mani Ratnam delivers a classy film, which truly reflects the different ideals of the youth of today. He stops the film just short of realism, shirks away from telling us more and stops his fantasy a little abruptly. But isn't cinema about living the fantasy and not waking up before the climax? SUDHISH KAMATH
