To all the Decade of Psycho Vaitheruchal Sh*ts here,
What happened to all the sweet talk trying so hard to convince the normal ppl here that you are not sick m*****r f*****s! Tortured souls trying to infiltrate into IR forums in a unpleasant way eh? :) What happened? Caved in due to too much pressure? Please let us know. Coz it makes us happy.
You are only making all of us just too happy. Apart from showing your sudden volcanic stomach eruptions, ie. just because of the all the attention that IR is getting from BBC and just because many ppl are re/discovering him and his movies of late and his works of late, you poor ruptured souls have resorted to so many indirect mud slinging. Gosh, you are even bigger bigot than al-qaieda.
It still doesn't end. AY, while he is still AY, he will certainly behave like AY.
WN, while trying to say nice things about IR, gives it away, intentionally or unintenionally, about how he disapproves of IR and what is going on. Another one who really 'thaanga mudiyavillai' all the happenings of IR. WN lost it.
And to another real goon who tried to put down IR's Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu song with this quote,"If Mani had not given such a situation, with all the possibilities open, this song may not have come about." I got news for you, if the same Mani did not discover or get recommended to take ARR, then which sh*t hole do you think he would still be in still producing pathetic Airtel like commercials with Riverdance's or Enya's 'inspirations'?
While so many IR forums here are bustling away with activities, you decade of pathetic psychos are trying so hard to do the same for all/any ARR forums. Just take a look how many ppl visit here and also take a look at how many different people this decade of shit. Also take a look of what you talk about and the constant patting on each others
backs ALL THE TIME ....seems more like gay activities goin on here. errrr....shivers!
Halo, gentleman or gentleponnus or wateva you are, please go shove yourself. No problem if you want to retaliate. It makes us all...all the more happier :)

A little late in the day... TMZ's Kadhal Virus music review
------------------
Sony Music has finally arrived in tamil and they have chosen Kadhal Virus as their launch pad. This movies is in the making for a long time and is directed and produced by Kadhir. The audio which was released recently is a mixed bag. It is being hailed by some in the metros as the next big hit in Kollywood but honestly it is not extra ordinary. Barring one song all others have average music and mediocre lyrics.
Kadhal Virus starts with Theme song itself which is titled Enna Aachu, sung by the ultra modern Vasundhara and man this girl has got a terrific voice and that adds to the different tune. A.R.Rahman has experimented with this song and it is good indeed with repeated hearings. Sound design is good in the song with sounds varying according to the lyrics. Sonnallum comes next with Unni Krishnan making a comeback after a long time and Harini. This tune is a haunting mix of a Hindustani raga with a classical raga and some of A.R.R's old hits. The result is good and people at the audio release had a glimpse of this song, picturised in a blue backdrop of clouds with the lead pair and some say it was good to watch. We have a utter let down in the next number Vaannila sung by Sreenivas and Karthick and Rahman has lost his touch with his beats.
S.P.B. tries hard with Swarnalatha in Yenthen Vanil but average music and lyrics let us down again. Before going to the next one, we will hear the last number O Kadhale sung by Mano and Clinton which is a sad number but it slowly grows on you and has some terrific interludes but the beat is too slow and tune is too complicated.
All this above mentioned songs have some interesting interludes and Rahman sparkles in patches and it is very evident that he has experimented with his instruments and tunes are a bit complicated. One song which stands out easily is sung by the latest sensation T.R. Simbhu and Tippu. It is titled Bailamore. In this song Rahman proves why he is considered the Mozart of Asia, he is way ahead of the competition and it is very catchy too. It is a apt one for the discos and with a terrific beat which is full of trance we have a chartbuster in our hands. Full credit to Tippu and Simbhu for their vocals are really exciting and equal credit to the sound design and recording. This song is almost equal to any new western trance hits and it is sure different from the normal tamil numbers.
Rahman has to realise that he is considered a genius and he is expected to dish out at least 4 sons like Bailamore in one album rather than one so that the movie gets a facelift. Now it is left to Kadhir to really lift the songs with this picturisation. Bailamore needs a lot of creativity to be picturised and Rahman has done a fair job and it is happier to have six new songs instead of some dubbed songs. Vaali and P. Vijay have done the lyrics with the latter writing for the first song in Side A and Side B.
APPLAUSE : Simbhu and Tippu
AHEM! : Vaannila
UTHHEAVEN TOP 3 SONGS :
1-> Baila Moore
2-> Enna Aacchu?
3-> Sonnalum
COVER : Great job and good color combo.
TAPE QUALITY : Good.
PRICE : 45/-
VERDICT : It would have been better if Sony had released only Bailamore has single like Laysa Laysa. Boys gets huge pressure after this dud and that well may decide Rahman's stand with serious fight from Vidyasagar who is churning out hits. Rahman has to bring back his magic in rhythm programming, we want beats like Jeans, Indian, Mudalvan, Thiruda Thiruda and Kadhalan.

Bombay Dreams, T.O. reality?
Lloyd Webber pitches Bollywood musical to Mirvishes
MARTIN KNELMAN
The cavernous Apollo Victoria theatre, near Victoria Station, is more
slightly off the beaten track of London's West End, but that hasn't
stopped audiences from flocking to see the outlandish and flamboyant
Bombay Dreams.
What's revolutionary about the show is that it's the first big
Bollywood musical to reach the stage in the western world, and it is
drawing crowds of South Asians who don't usually go to the theatre.
Indeed, when I caught the show on a Tuesday a few weeks ago, about
half the audience were Indian, and there was such a buzz of
excitement in the lobby that I found the audience as intriguing as
the show. One of the first thoughts that occurred to me: Given the
nature of the show and the audience and the population of Canada's
showbiz capital, Bombay Dreams could be a huge hit in Toronto.
And who took the gamble on producing a $12-million show with no
guarantee that it wouldn't be a colossal flop? Sir Andrew Lloyd
Webber, who most of the time is involved in producing only shows he
has written.
But in this case Sir Andrew was so knocked out by the score -
composed by A.R. Rahman, celebrated in India for his film music - he
felt compelled to give it a shot. (Lloyd Webber is not only one of
the wealthiest people in British show business; he also happens to
own several London theatres.)
Now Lloyd Webber wants to use Toronto as the show's entrée to North
America.
From a critical perspective, Bombay Dreams is a mixed bag, offering
spectacle, dancing and the kind of over-the-top melodrama and emotion
that have helped give Bollywood movies (Bombay's answer to old-
fashioned Hollywood glamour) a distinctive, cheerfully campy
identity. Even Steven Pimlott, who directed the London production and
is now preparing to conquer Broadway, admits that Rahman's marvellous
score is offset by a somewhat awkward book.
Alluding to the greatest libretto ever written for a musical, Pimlott
said in a phone interview a few days ago: "I don't think Bombay
Dreams will ever be My Fair Lady, but it's a great spectacle with
strong music and gorgeous ethnicity. We have all the ingredients of a
very tasty cake, and we've had a great success with it.
"When we take it to North America, the challenge will be to smooth it
down, and tell the story better musically. This is the kind of show
that reminds you music and drama can happily co-exist. What's great
about Bollywood as a phenomenon is its tremendous zest and energy,
and I think we've caught that."
The story - about a poor boy who becomes a film star - is told in the
fashion of a Bollywood movie, which means that the characters often
break into song at the most unlikely moments. So in a way, what seems
ridiculous about the storyline is deliberately so.
But there are problems that can't be explained as fidelity to
Bollywood tradition. The story gets too complicated, and goes down
too many byways. The plot goes on way too long. And the jokes are
often feeble.
Pimlott, who has spent much of his career staging opera and working
with the Royal Shakespeare Company, is familiar with the challenge of
building a commercial musical for a North American audience, having
directed Lloyd Webber's Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
when Garth Drabinsky produced it in Toronto and toured it all over
North America.
"A couple of years ago, I went round to see Andrew about another
project," Pimlott recalls with a laugh.
Lloyd Webber was much more interested in discussing Bombay Dreams -
and by the end of the meeting, he had persuaded Pimlott to start
thinking Bollywood.
"We had to confront the considerable problem of finding an all-Asian
cast in England," he explains. "The whole thing was a very big risk,
but to his credit, Andrew laid himself open because he genuinely
believes Rahman is a great composer. And the risk paid off. The show
is on track to recoup its investment."
Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group has announced Bombay Dreams will
open on Broadway in April 2004. The question is: Where will the North
American production be mounted and nurtured before its New York
opening?
"We would very much like to start the show in Toronto next October,"
says Pimlott.
"Andrew is in negotiations with the Mirvishes. We'll have to get it
sorted out in the next month or so if we're going to have time to
organize things."
But for the Mirvishes, there are a couple of major problems.
The Canon Theatre will be occupied by The Producers; the Princess of
Wales and Royal Alex are tied up with The Lion King and Mamma Mia!
The Elgin has commitments to a variety of regular tenants.
That leaves the Toronto Centre for the Arts in North York.
A lot of producers don't like its location, but for Bombay Dreams, it
might be fine. And it's familiar turf for Lloyd Webber, whose Sunset
Boulevard was produced there in 1995.
The Mirvishes also fear that having a fourth big musical could hurt
the box office for their other shows.
Pimlott relishes the chance of using Toronto to take Bombay Dreams to
the next level. In London he was hampered by the technical
limitations of the Apollo Victoria, which is basically a movie house
with no wing space and no backstage.
"We can do more with a better stage and better facilities," says
Pimlott.
"We can strengthen the design elements in a more traditional theatre.
I'd like to have a bit less pop and bring out the ethnic side. We can
improve a couple of the numbers.
"And we have to reduce some of the avenues and diversions in the
first three quarters of an hour to make the first act less clunky. I
would like to achieve an easier rapport between the actors and the
audience."
As far as Pimlott is concered, it can only help the show to start in
a city with a large South Asian population.
"When I was directing Joseph, I really enjoyed working in Toronto.
It's much less volatile than New York. I have no doubt Toronto is the
right place for us."
