THUMBS DOWN FOR A.R. RAHMAN

2010-09-05T04:36:00.000-07:00

Oscar and Grammy winner A.R. Rahman launched the theme song of the XIX Commonwealth Games in a glittering function held in Gurgaon attended by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda and the Organizing Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi among Others. Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto (Live, Rise, Ascend, and Win) was Rahman's call to the athletes. The song was praised by all as it was full of energy, vibrancy of youth and spirit of athletes.

But the song had a detractor in Mr. Vijaykumar Malhotra, who is the Executive board member of the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games. Mr. Malhotra disagreed with the popular opinion of others by claiming that “The song has fallen short of expectations. We had expected a better song from a composer of Rahman's status.” He added that “He has given some very good songs like 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' but this song is not that impressive. We hope that the song is made better because there is still time left for the start of the Games.”

The launch of the theme song has already been delayed as the GoM overseeing the Games had asked Rahman to change the song.

SINGAM MOVIE REVIEW

Review by : Behindwoods review board

Starring: Suriya, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Manoramma.Direction: HariMusic: Devi Sri PrasadProduction: BIG Pictures

The much-awaited Hari-Suriya combo is back in this landmark 25th film of Suriya. The story was initially narrated to Vijay for his 50th film by Hari but for some reasons Vijay could not do it and Suriya lapped it up.

Throughout the career graph of Suriya, the actor has diligently worked towards balancing the niche and the mass and this time around he has proven once again that he can deliver a commercial masala flick with as finesse as he can deliver a performance-oriented film. It is Suriya all over; the guy stumps with some gravity defying stunts, mouths a few intense sentimental dialogues, floors his lady partner passionately and challenges the baddies and cleanses the society from obnoxious elements.

Durai Singam is the SI of Nallur police station who is into the police force mainly to satisfy his father. His ambition is to expand his provision stores

business to a super market. All the same, he is sincere in his work and is the darling of his town as he settles many disputes in his town amicably. Mayilvaganan (Prakash Raj), the fraudster from Chennai, involved in criminal activities, gets trapped into a police case which requires him to sign in Nallur police station for a period of 15 days. There is a proxy who comes to do this job in the police station which triggers an encounter between Prakash Raj and Suriya that leads into a series of events between the two which form the rest of Singam.

Meanwhile, an offshoot of this plot is the love angle between Anushka and Suriya, the former comes to the village to her grand parents place for vacation and bumps in to the latter. Thankfully, it is not love at the second meeting but something that happens gradually with believable events.

Vivek as Erimalai takes charge of comedy in Singam as Suriya’s subordinate and acquits himself well. The comedy scenes do bring the intended effect and the lorry scene which results in Vivek’s suspension tops the list. There are many such enjoyable instances which are sure to get into the comedy channels soon.

Anushka looks good and acts too. When she is on the phone with Suriya and gets caught by her father Nasser, the instant play of expression to get out of the situation is noteworthy. The lady does have a good future. She rides on twin horses with glamorous costumes in the song sequences and a homely demeanor in the rest of the film. Radha Ravi and Sumithra as the parents of Suriya do a convincing job. The other supporting cast members are satisfactory.

Music by Devi Sri Prasad is nothing to rave about except the En Idhayam number. However, the morphing technique adopted to cover a few frames in this number is unwarranted. Background score is also ordinary. True to the name Singam, the film is dominated by action sequences but there is no blood and gore. Cinematographer Priyan has done a decent job.

Director Hari has stuck to his genre and has delivered a crisp film. Although the events and the premise are not something new in Singam and the formula of one scene each of ‘action-romance-sentiments-comedy', is strictly adhered to, he should be credited for rendering an engaging and entertaining product. He succeeds in holding the interest of the audience to a larger extent and satisfies the viewers.

However, in the second half, the interactions between the villain and hero get a bit drab and seem to drag on. There is not much of an intelligence displayed by the villain to counter the hero except in the climax. On the whole, Hari has concocted and packaged his masala contents in the right proportion and has served a tasty dish. Verdict: Engaging masala

Hinduism: A way of life

2010-05-25T08:35:00.000-07:00

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other monotheistic religions in that it does not have:

a single founder,
a specific theological system,
a single concept of deity,
a single holy text,
a single system of morality,
a central religious authority,
the concept of a prophet.

Thus Hinduism is not a religion in the same sense as Christianity is; it is more like a way of life -- much as Native American spirituality is.
Hinduism consists of "thousands of different religious groups that have evolved in India since 1500 BCE." ₁ Because of the wide variety of Hindu traditions, freedom of belief and practice are features of Hinduism.
Hinduism has grown to become the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. It claims about 837 million followers -- about 13% of the world's population. ₂ It is the dominant religion in India, Nepal, and among the Tamils in Sri Lanka. According to the "Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches," there are about 1.1 million Hindus in the U.S. ₃ The "American Religious Identification Survey" is believed to be more accurate. ₄ They estimated smaller number: 766,000 Hindus in 2001. Still, this is a very significant increase from 227,000 in 1990. Statistics Canada estimates that there are about 157,015 Hindus in Canada. _{5 Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion.}

Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic religions. They recognize a single deity, and view other Gods and Goddesses as manifestations or aspects of that supreme God. Henotheistic and polytheistic religions have traditionally been among the world's most religiously tolerant faiths. However, until recently, a Hindu nationalistic political party controlled the government of India. The linkage of religion, the national government, and nationalism led to a degeneration of the separation of church and state in India. This, in turn, has decreased the level of religious tolerance in that country. The escalation of anti-Christian violence was one manifestation of this linkage. With the recent change in government, the level of violence will diminish.

RAAVANAN MUSIC REVIEW

2010-05-16T06:02:00.000-07:00

Review by : Malathy Sundaram

Music Director : AR Rahman
Vocals : Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane, Keerthi Sagathia, Karthik, Benny Dayal, Shankar Mahadevan, Anuradha Sriram, Shreya Goshal, Bhagyaraj, Rayhanah, Tanvi Shah.
Lyrics : Vairamuthu

Produced by Madras Talkies, this long-awaited movie brings together so many talents - Mani Ratnam directs, Suhasini Mani Ratnam pens the dialogues, Santosh Sivan cranks the camera, Vairamuthu handles the lyrics and Sabyasachi Mukherji designs the costumes. To top it all, our own A.R. Rahman takes charge of the music section. Explosive, isn’t it? The title itself suggests that ‘abduction’ could be the central theme of the story. By the way, the actors are Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Prithviraj, Karthik, Prabhu and Priya Mani. All lyrics are by Vairamuthu.

Veera...
Vocals: Vijay Prakash, Keerthi Sagathia, Mustafa Kutoane

A taut tempo dictates this song which seems to touch lightly upon African music and rhythms. The

rhythms conjure up a dense forest atmosphere. The defiant tone of a man, who fancies himself as half-asura, half-God. May climb the charts.

Usure Pogudhey...
Vocals: Karthik

An intense number with brooding drum work, violins and a wee bit of guitar. Very minimal input from instruments. The song reflects the agony of a man trying to reach out for the forbidden fruit. Excellent vocals from Karthik add a shine to this Kiravani scale-based song. Listen to it a couple of times and you are hooked.

Kodu Poatta...
Vocals: Benny Dayal

A rather meaty song for Benny this time around and he has just let rip! The aggressive stance of a man, who does not like being fettered by anything. Well-knit drums and guitars convey the same emotion too, with only the instrumental interludes softening the song now and then. This song is an interesting mix of folk rhythms and Arabian music. Like an Abhang, this song suddenly picks up speed, but at the end.

Kaattu Sirukki...
Vocals: Shankar Mahadevan, Anuradha Sriram

This is a typical ‘Rahman formula’ number, but what rivets you here is the peculiar use of Anuradha’s voice as part of background music. Shankar Mahadevan and Anuradha vie with one another in bringing out minute ‘sangatis’ right through the song which keeps it lively all along. Dramatic lyrics (with exquisite imagery) that portray the moral dilemma of a modern-day Ravanan! Do we hear the Natabairavi scale? With good visuals, it could make an appeal.

Kalvare...
Vocals: Shreya Goshal

Very soft and sensual use of flute (Navin) and sitar (Asad Khan) mesmerize you and so does Shreya’s voice. How beautifully she differentiates the three ‘la’ sounds in the line ‘vali migum idangal---.’ The tabla and ghatam add some more ‘sowkyam’ to this melody. You seem to hear Behag raga, but you can’t be sure. Has a vague S.D. Burman-ish appeal to it.

Kedakkari...
Vocals: Benny Dayal, Bhagyaraj, Rayhanah, Tanvi Shah

This song is all about a rustic wedding celebration, but Rahman being Rahman, brings his own musical sensibilities into it and adds a lot of fizz. Such a happy use of oud, shehnai and nagaswaram! The orchestration too is very rich. This Sankarabaranam raga-based song may serve to lighten up our mood as we sit through this taut film.

Verdict:

The trilingual aspect of this movie seems to have steered Rahman into expressing himself a tad cautiously as far as Carnatic ragas are concerned. Nevertheless, this is a brisk and riveting album. The percussive aspect certainly deserves applause because of its muted nature. Though Karthik’s song looms large, all songs have the possibility of hitting the charts.
