Score it right

Oscar winner AR Rahman has finally said yes to Hollywood! The music maestro has signed a Hollywood romantic comedy called Couples Retreat. The film requires Rahman to do his first full-fledged western score. “It doesn’t have any oriental or Indian touches. So no Jai Ho this time for global listeners who are looking for a similar musical experience. Everywhere I go, I’m greeted by those two words! But now I want to move on. This will be a completely American score, done in my way.”

It would be very interesting to see if A.R.Rahman can give Hollywood his touch. You know in USA they don't care much of the music. For example in a romantic comedy like this there has never been a high class music composer approached. It's not the same like in Indian love stories where you have the best scope to compose good music. In english comedies the music plays just a side role. So I am bit surprised to see ARR composing music for this movie. And if he can now revolutianize Hollywood with adding good music even for such movies, A.R.Rahman will rule the music world.

Yeah that's what has been bothering me too, the scope for music in a rom-com. I guess ARR wants to try his hand at all genres.

Plus, I don't think soundtracks get released for comedy films.

i'd have preferred a musical

that said, Beverly Hills Chihuahua (comedy movie with a chihuahua as a hero :P) was one recent movie I saw and wished ARR was the composer - had very very good background score and immense scope for thalaivar
