A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 8

The film “Dil Se” released in 1998, and by this time A. R. Rehman, has revolutionized the Hindi film music. With the south Indian flavour to his compositions, with various talented singers from the region were flooding the hindi film music world. Mostly his films would be originally made in Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam, and later remade in hindi or sometimes just dubbed in hindi.

His music and rerecording the songs in hindi required, rewriting the lyrics in hindi/urdu to mean and sound the same in hindi films. It was a difficult task for lyricists like Mehboob and later on Gulzar to retain the meaning and spirit of the earlier songs, while converting them for the larger hindi film audience.

The serial “Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey” was a serial I loved watching for its assorted characters, that lived in a apartment complex of North Mumbai. One of the characters, who happened to be a neighbour, friend & almost like family to the central (to the plot) Wagle Family- Daksesh Joshipura who is the secretary of the society. He had a one-liner every time he appears on the screen:- “I am Daksesh Joshipura, honourable secretary of the society & 1st Citizen of Sai Darshan Heights”.

I am sure the followers of the blog maybe wondering where I am leading to.

Yesterday (26 January 2025) was 75th Republic day of India. It was a sunday and I wonder if some people who had to turn up for flag unfurling in their workplaces were unhappy that they had to come to office even on a sunday. 🙂 I also wonder if some school kids felt the same way. Back in my school days (which I am aghast to realise was half a century ago), school kids looked up to this day and 15th august because it meant every student got laddoos to eat. Many school kids even brought their younger siblings (who had not yet started going to school) with them because they too got laddoos on the occasion. 🙂 Perhaps some of these young kids were motivated to go to school later because of this fact.

I recall that one of my classmates had decided that he would become a member of school football team when he reached class nine. His reason was simple, players of the football team got jalebis after each practice session. 🙂 He actually became a member of the football team as he had planned. 🙂 I hope school kids of today have the same motivation alive in them to come to school, play in their school team etc. 🙂

“Jeans” (1998) was a Tamil Film that was produced by Ashok Amritraj (the Indian-American athlete & film producer) in collaboration with Murli Manohar & others. It was directed by S. Shankar who usually works in the Tamil film industry beginning as an actor but turning a filmmaker initially as an assistant director & then full-fledged director with “GentleMan” (in Tamil 1993). He has made many successful movies since and some have been either dubbed or remade in Hindi too. He himself remade “Mudhalvan” (1999) into “Nayak-The Real Hero” with Anil Kapoor & Rani Mukherjee in the lead in 2001.

Hullo Atuldom

Back after a gap of around one & half months.

Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.

At the outset a Happy Deepawali to all the followers of this blog. Today is Bali Pratipada and the holiday fervour/ fever continues. There are still some friends & relatives to be wished, gifts & sweets to be exchanged. Then there will be Bhai Dooj or Bhau Beej (as it is called in Western India) on the 27th. That will be the last of celebrations (I think) for the Diwali holidays.

55th birthday of A. R. Rehman

A. R. Rehman – The musician of 21st century – 1

Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there. – Rumi

Some years ago, I received a Whatsapp forward featuring a sketch with Rumi’s character, in a 21st century setting. This requires careful description, so you all please be patient with me.

There he was, 13th century persian poet and philosopher, Jalaludding Rumi, turban and all, sitting on one end of a small primitive boat. A boat that fits in a New York apartment’s living room. Guess who is doing the honors of ‘Chappu chalauing’ at the other end of the boat? It was Chandler, of ‘Friends’ fame. Imagine a boat on the floor of a city living room, at one end Chandler is roving the boat and Rumi is sitting on the other end. The caption with it, also in 21st century English, read “When you are looking for a Roomie and misspell it!”

Ha Ha Ha Ha. If no one is laughing, I have only myself to blame for thinking of Rumi. “ham wahan hain jahan se ham ko bhi kuchh hamaari khabar nahi aati”
