Hi Ramkii

Rangeela made the whole TN proud .

This is the first movie which was immensely popular for the songs composed by a South Indian ARR .

Even today, this songs are being spoken in Mumbai !

RANGEELA

u remember this movie for ARRahman and Urmila......

Kya kare kya na kare should qualify as my most favorite ARR song ever.....

.....wat lyrics - it inspired me so much that i never hesitated to talk to a girl - known or unknown, high heels or hawai chappal

Tanha Tanha - great song.......starts with flute sounds on keyboard, and then asha bosle's gr8 voice......the picturisation was also too good.....

rest later

I even got the cassette.. not knowing a word of hindi .. not that I know too many now...

No super sound system then ... still everytime I am home .. Rangeela.. was played non-stop .... breakfast.. lunch .. dinner time included.... ARR was just mesmerizing..
Folks at home were already fans of him due to "Thiruda Thiruda" which went through the same rituals..

The more I listened ... Rangeela Re became my least favourite of the album .. "Kya Kare" was numero uno .... "Pyare Jaane Kaisa" was number 2 and "AiAiyo" took the third spot... I think ARR really knew how to use Udit.....

One helluva path breaking album... Hmmm good old days...

And the probably the album which sounded alarm to all the reigning HFM MD's .. to go take their respective spots and dare not think about the Numero Uno Chair... And to this date I dont think anybody has dethroned him there...

"And to this date I dont think anybody has dethroned him there..."

As is the case in TFM too. Harris and Yuvan are popular as are Himesh, Jatin-Lalit, Anu Malik, Pritam etc. Both, however, have not dethroned him, IMO. ARR's popularity in Tamil has probably waned, though. His albums are not inducing that craze anymore, at least to me. In every tamil album of late, two or three songs are very very good and the rest are only so so. I don't see this trend changing with Sivaji. May be ATM.

Yeah..ARR seems to be on the IR style...giving hit albums..experimental and refreshing one after another and once they have become established forces and more into international music their output is reduced to two or three hit songs per album or the odd hit album....hopefully ARR does not fall into the global trap and focus more on significant albums and less on certain ones like IR did even though their output and quality is as fresh as ever

**Hulkster** · 2nd March 2007, 09:58 AM

As for HFM besides S-E-L and perhaps jatin-lalit the rest are totally inconsistent and some just producing music totally commercial...besides ARR and S-E-L the orchestration in HFM is of mediocre quality...
