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.

  Hope MR gets it right at the earliest!
  
  There was this Kamal Interiview in Kumudam in which he talks about Thevar making-remaking-reremaking his movie "Deiva Cheyaal".When Kamal asked Thevar innocently replied "Athu oru nalla Kadhayappa".
  
  MR s "Pudhu Mana Dhampathy Thanik Kudhithanam and allied romances" is certainly repetitive.Even its admirers "the unmarried 18-25 women with dreams" have complaints about this of late.

  Folks
  Check out this one about Roja 10 years after it is made. The kind of impact it had on Indian films later.

  Gosh, what have I done. I'm seeing unrelenting posts between the same pathetic few again after a long dead spell. Guess I must have triggered this huh. All this jus to prove me a point? WOW!
  
  It reminds us of the former hindus(the pakistani's) how they want to make themself too vociferous so that arab states would be impressed and also hoping they, the new converts, will be accepted by them.
  
  Like i said, is muar that powerfil? :)

  Excuse me, Ambleen. I started this...for your kind information. We may be just 1 or 100. But why is it bothering you ? We may be pathetic losers. But instead of being negative we are trying out something positive taking care not to enroach your territory. Is it too much of a courtesy to ask of you ?

  Ambleen...Couldn't resist after reading your example...
  
  It is like the Israeli Jews making a big issue of the Holocaust and progating throughout the world how they suffered and were tortured by the Germans...Now Israel is repeating the same thing with the Palestinians.
  
  I hope that you don't repeat the same mistake.

  Thanks for the link WN....should settle many doubts.

  Forgive ambleen.
  
  He is just frustrated that IR is not getting any attention.... from the world...from India...from TN makkal...and not even at this forum!
  
  So, he does what losers do best.

  Started again?
  Why is it IR threads enjoy relative peace as compared to ARR threads?
  
  ambleen, without going into old responses, you can find new participants like Maverick, VV and aruvi. Exactly, what is bugging you? Or rather, what is your problem?

  Here's some more intersting info about the Bombay Theme tune
  conquering the world.
  
  I came across a Japanese film "MONONOKE HIME" (PRINCESS MONONOKE)
  which was released in the west by Miramax. And one of the trailors
  of the movie has the 'Mumbai Theme Tune' as its background. It
  seems like a trailor made by fans, as the official Miramax trailor
  didnt impress many. And they have credited A.R.Rahman/Mumbai theme
  tune too. According to the author of the trailor, Christian
  Parkes, he got the 'great' music from 'Anokha'.
  What more, this film went on to win the Japanese National Film
  Awards for The Best Feature Film.
  see http://www.fierceforward.com/video/last.htm
  View the trailor from

  (scroll down for 27 Apr 99 update)
  trailor download link

  On another note, there has been a number of international
  compilations featuring Bombay Theme tune. I found one more, title
  "Variour Atrists - Theresa", which is a German compilation.
  see
  http://www.public-propaganda.de/ppsales/salesfolder/VA_Theresa.html
  
  
  Also came across a nice review of Bombay Theme Tune:-
  
  http://www.randomshiznat.com/WhatsSpinning/1999092400.html
  
  Track 6 Mumbai Theme Tune by A.R. Rahman is particularly emotive.
  I'm reminded of Mozart's Serenade for Winds K.361, the way a
  light, airy woodwind, Rahman's digital flute to Mozart's clarinet,
  is supported by the low, humming rhythm of deeper instruments
  (electronic bass for Rahman and oboes and bassoons for Mozart).
  Both pieces tell the story of sadness and loss with the main
  instruments, but allow a glimmer of hope to break through via the
  supporting instruments. Whereas Mozart lumbers towards a note of
  optimism, Rahman finishes somewhat abruptly, with a more ambiguous
  conclusion.

  Are Yaar and WN
  Thanks for those links. Interesting to know where ARR's music is reaching.
  
  Everyone else: Please keep this stuff going and ignore all the ambleens of the world. I guess that is the best thing to do.

  Oh yes, nice going all. Here's one more link which wraps up the constellation.
