AR Rahman's Tamil Blockbuster "BOYS"

Rahman's much anticipated "Boys" is set to release soon and everyone is keen on finding out more about this album. Who are the singers? What are the soundtracks like? When is the release date? Will the album be delayed? If anyone has any idea; please post here....

Also; use this thread to discuss this album..

Here is what i found::

Typical of Shankar, the director is not prepared to say much about the film at this point. However, it is known that the film will be very youthful, almost teeny-bop, in content, with the majority of the cast being in the 16-23 age group.

Shankar, apparently, has decided to cast all new faces in his film – and the younger the better.

In fact, a mention in various Tamil periodicals, and an accompanying advertisement to the effect that Shankar was looking for new faces, has created a headache of sorts for the producers. Curriculums vitae have been pouring in to the Surya Movies post box ever since the ad and the story ran in the vernacular press – and last heard from, the flood shows no signs of abating.

Curiously enough, the ad appears – thanks to emails and discussion groups – to have reached an audience abroad as well, with the result that newer batches of applications have US, British and suchlike stamps on them, which suits the producer and director fine since the film does incorporate a lot of NRI faces.

For Shankar, Boys will be a return to romance after Kadhalan, and to comedy after the Aishwarya Rai-Prashanth starrer Jeans. Though the film will feature fresh – and ergo, inexpensive – faces, Shankar maintains that the film will be typical of his style, which means lavish budgets, and expensive production values.

  Was disappointed the with the first six songs that I heard. Ale Ale seems to be much better and would keep you humming the tune for a while.This looks like the pick of the album so far.

  What the heck?
  
  How stupid to trust these money-making medias? One site has to think and put a rumour and suddenly everyone claims its Pravinmani, just to put ARR down. Its not pravin mani he is just part of the team. Get a life mottai.
  
  Boyz is the hottest album in tfm today!

  Kum....
  
  dont blame them..for believing that...
  
  they need some kinda "stone" to throw at ARR and his fans...
  
  this time...they couldn't complain in the songs..and so...they r talking abt so-called the "original composer"....hehehe
  
  
• From: mottai (@ 207.46.228.14) on: Mon Jun 30 04:13:32 EDT 2003
  
  the songs sucks big-time...thats why i am now sort of convinced it is praveen mani....i really wish the songs had the arr touch....even after multiple hearings they sound bland...IMHO...
  
  
• From: MADDY (@ 203.94.233.222) on: Mon Jun 30 04:16:42 EDT 2003
  
  public who think it is Pravin Mani pls compare the songs of BOYS with LITTLE JOHN(pravin's composition) and then come to an conclusion.... Boys is Rahman's property and nobody else can claim it... God save Mottai and other IR fans...
  
  
• From: music man (@ 219.65.97.252) on: Mon Jun 30 04:35:29 EDT 2003
  
  Superb effort by A.R.Rahman.He has come with a bang on BOYS.I can see the electrifying ARR again.On hearing the songs my first impressions are :
  1)BOOM BOOM-sure hit with catcy rhythm,and with good bass(guitar)effect.
  2)ALE ALE-pick of the album with a good folk song feel and one wonders why ARR had composed below average songs in his previous movies(particularly PARASURAM)
  3)GIRL FRIEND-Another good song by Karthik.and a very different music by ARR.(probably entering into a new dimension of music)
  4)SECRET OF SUCESS-Good catcy rhtym.Only sore point is that though music and tune are good,we hardly hear the words(What are the words).I could hear only few tamil words.
  5)Rest of the songs I didn't hear it properly for they are more westernised and they are good for we have to bear with the buffering in the net.
  A GREAT ALBUM!!!!
  Please buy original cassettes and CD's
  bye,
  music man
