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.

  Kalki has also given a scathing review of Boys .
  There is no mention of ARR's music and the reviewer has commended only the camera work.

  I dont see the point of viewing the merits and demerits of movies with people living in india when movies like dum are hits and kannathil muthamittal & anbe sivam are flops.
  
  
• From: Roja (@ 209.148.142.31) on: Fri Sep 19 20:07:38 EDT 2003
  
  I so agree with The above person. Why are amazing films liek kannathil muthamittal and anbe sivam flops. They're so good!!!.
  DUm is crap! ITz the typical style movies.Romance, fighting and then in the end everyone is happily ever after.
  Why don;t ppl like change with movies like kannathil muthamittal and anbe sivam .

  Tamil Nadu dunt accept FActs!!!!
  
  Tamil Nadu accept FActs in TI.But you guys did not accept that time.Shankar got impression with TI then made BOYS. THen you people realisen the fact in BOYS.
  
  What is that FACT.
  
  I could understand your broad mind. TI is a worst movie.Because it was not by ARR.BOYS(a copy of TI) is a great movie. Because of ARR.
  
  Hahahaha

  Boys was half way done b4 TI,when shankar went to wath the movie,he got shocked that this movie & his boys (half way done ) was very simular,so he quickly changed the scenes which is very much simular,thats y the movie & the audio release got pushed back...if u still dun understand simple eng language,COMITTE SUICIDE MAN!!!!

  hi
  
  the movie is really good, music is excellent and shankar should be much appreciated for his work and his courage to venture with all new faces and a very different story. I would like to appreciate the Team@Boys for the good work and the movie is still running well.
  Regards
