ARR's 10th Anniversary in TFM - A Decade of Fans

Topic started by A Constellation of ARR Fans (@ 12.234.180.182) on Tue Aug 20 11:40:13 EDT 2002.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

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.

  I don mind what songs wud be played, as I like most of ARR's songs. But I want as many as them to be played as live as possible. I don mind if they sound diferent from the original, in fact I want them to sound diferent from the original.

  Bombay Dreams crosses 10 million pounds
  Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical will celebrate its 200th performance in London
  
  Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, Bombay Dreams, which features music by A R Rahman, has broken through the 10 million pounds barrier at the box-office, said theatre officials in London.
  
  So far, over 300,000 people have been to see the show, which celebrates the Bollywood movie musicals of India.
  
  The show, which opened in June, celebrates its 200th performance tomorrow at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre.
  
  Bombay Dreams, which has lyrics by Don Black, focuses on a poor but handsome young man who dreams of becoming a Bollywood movie star. It is directed by Steven Pimlott, who directed the hit revival of the Lloyd Webber musical Joseph And the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
  
  Bookings are now being taken until October next year.

  "Colourful start to National Games in Hyderabad
  
  HYDERABAD: Never forget to dream. That was the message from the President, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam before he inaugurated the 32nd National Games at the Gachibowli Stadium here on Friday.
  
  Fireworks set the sky afire as the lasers danced far into the distance, touching the skies. It was a proud moment for every Hyderabadi, after K Eswar Rao and Mulini Reddy jointly got the Games flame going and a crowd of nearly 60,000 spectators stood up as one and added their voices to the thunder of crackers. The Flame was lit to the strains of a special composition by music maestro A R Rahman while Sivamani belted the drums."

  Let me post the message itself.
  ---------------------------------

  Rahman will score for Shekhar Kapur's Paani
  70 per cent of his compositions these last two years never saw light
  of day!
  
  
  Subhash K Jha
  
  A R Rahman will compose the score for Shekhar Kapur's Paani. The
  film, set in a Mumbai 20 years from now, will be scripted by Andrew
  Niccol who wrote Peter Weir's Jim Carrey starrer, The Truman Show.
  
  Paani will mark Kapur's second collaboration with Rahman after Andrew
  Lloyd Webber's hit musical, Bombay Dreams. That show -- Kapur
  suggested Rahman as composer to Webber -- recently crossed the 10
  million pounds mark in London and staged its 200th performance on
  December 11.
  
  After Bandit Queen and Elizabeth, Kapur briefly made waves last
  September with The Four Feathers. The film was not a box office
  success.
  
  
  
  Rahman reveals that Webber wants to work with him again. This time on
  an opera, "though I have no clue what he wants," he chuckles.
  
  The affable composer is riding high with his score for debutante
  director Shaad Ali's Saathiya. "After Taal all my music, like Lagaan,
  Zubeidaa and The Legend Of Bhagat Singh was period-specific. After a
  long time, a soundtrack of mine has been liberated from a specific
  situation. That is why Saathiya has been liked."
  
  "A lot of Saathiya's music is from its Tamil original Alai Payuthey,"
  he continues. "That is because it is the same story. When I heard the
  story, it immediately conjured a specific set of ideas in my mind.
  When I had to do the same thing again in Hindi, I could not revise
  those images. There were two tunes from the original Tamil that did
  not work in Hindi . So I composed two new ones, Banjar hai and Naina
  milaike."
  
  In a startling revelation, Rahman says 70 per cent of his
  compositions in the last two years never saw the light of
  day. "Between 2000 and 2002, nine of my projects in Hindi and a
  couple in Tamil never took off. So 70 per cent of my output during
  this period never came out. It was very frustrating. There are so
  many people waiting to work with me. I had to turn them down to do
  work that never got released. But I can't complain. I know what the
  film industry is going through. I am hoping something like my work in
  Deepa Mehta's Water gets released."
  
  He is off to London again which, he says, has become his cultural
  centre, midway between India and the US. This time, he will compose
  his first-ever English set of songs for musician Karen David.
