The 50th episode of Rahman Music Sheets celebrates 30 years of Roja.
The music of Roja by @ARRahman was path-breaking from the word go; its sound was and continues to be astonishingly fresh even after 30 years. With Roja, AR Rahman transformed the very syntax of Indian film songs. He effectively discarded the templatized music of the 1980s.
Besides Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman, this special episode features Subhash Ghai, Ram Gopal Varma, Shyam Benegal, Deepa Mehta, Shekhar Kapur, Andrew Llyod Webber, Ashutosh Gowariker, Ahmed Khan, Kavita Krishnamurti, Alka Yagnik, Sadhana Sargam and Hariharan.
Roja (Director - Mani Ratnam, Starring Arvind Swami, Madhu, Pankaj Kapoor) was released on 15th August 1992.
Rahman Music Sheets - A series to track three decades of an incredible musical journey of Oscars and Grammys winner A.R. Rahman

Shridhar was heavily involved in making spectecular sounds and was involved in success of many of Rahman's works. I know Shridhar is no more. But, you can choose someone to interview who knows both Rahman and Shridhar works. Or, (if possible) may be you ask Rahman how he met Shridhar and experiences with him. Just a suggestion!

I vividly remember watching the Surabhi episode that aired ARR's interview which showed snippets of chinna chinna asai. I hadn't had much exposure to Tamil film music then, but was intrigued by the sound of Roja songs. Being a Maharashtrian, I was happy that Roja soundtrack was also released in Marathi with really good Marathi translation of the lyrics. It's probably the only Tamil movie with a soundtrack translated in Marathi. I used to save my pocket money and purchase cassettes of Gentleman, Thiruda Thiruda, Pudhiya Mugam, Duet, Gangmaster, May Madham, Kadhalan, Bombay and so on. I was and even today am totally captivated by this genius called A R Rahman. I love most of his softer melodies like pudhu vellai mazhai, putham pudhu boomi, oru deyvam thantha poove, uyire, en kadhale en kadhale, vellai pookal ulagam engum, en mel vizhundha mazhai thuliye, uyirum neeye, etc.

What an episode! And what a celebration of the Mozart of Madras!! What we forget though, and what young music professionals would do well to remember, is the kind of hard work that he had put in, even before the Roja breakout happened. Rahman (Dileep of course, then) had been around for close to a decade before Roja and doing all kinds of interesting stuff in the ad jingle world, small indie albums and as a session musician and programmer. Those who have worked closely with him can vouch for not just his creative prowess, but also his knowledge of the technical aspects of live/recorded sound and the use of plug ins, software etc. Bottomline, he didn't emulate what was in trend then, but created his own space and USP, something today's youngsters can get inspired from.

Without talking about late Mr H. Sridhar, ‘90’s sound track of ARR wouldn’t be complete. Sridhar was instrumental as Sound Engineer to Mr. Rahman. Good example I remember, many composers used Pan Flute on their tracks but in Chinna Chinna Aasai Song we hear Pan Flute with more clarity and Sound clarity of every track/RR was explicitly noticeable and transforming.

Goosebumps and Nostalgia .. .throughout the episode!! That one cassette which was stuck in loop on my Videocon Walkman back in 1992, changed everything! I decided right there, that I will not miss another ARR album and till date (I just bought the PS-1 track on iTunes), I do not regret this decision! Thank You O2 India was taking us on this incredible journey and hearty congratulations on putting out 50 amazing episodes! Can't wait to see what else you have in store next ❤❤

Hariharan is so truly right , “Bharat Humko Jaan” is a unofficial Anthem of India for me personally I remember going to Aurora Talkies , Mumbai on 15th Aug 1992 for 12:00 PM matinee show , the ticket counter person told me it’s new film , directed by Mani Ratnam , that was enough for me to buy the ticket , I went alone , later saw Roja atleast 5 times in Theatre The theatre was nearly empty that day , because Rajinikanth’s Annamalai had just finished a 6-8 week near houseful run at Aurora talkies . So audience were tired and not ready for a low budget Mani Ratnam movie as follow up

30 years of Roja soundtrack is a nice tribute on cover than on the episode. Really, the music is way fresh like a hot samosa or pakoda can't be or today's music can't be. It always feels like it released just yesterday. That's the forever impact this album has left on us all! Happy that most of the cover songs are not irritating and atleast a few legends are mentioned who were part of the movie than who were not. Most moving part is the bytes about Rahman's mother who also got moved like the whole nation did at that time. So are Balachander and Mani Ratnam's words. Hariharna bytes about 'Bharat humko' song is quite true. Very relatable even today. Rahman only can break his records is what even is true till date and we are waiting with baited breath for that magnanimous day! I saw a particular error in one of the cover credits about Chinna chinna aasai song showing the singers as Unni Menon and Sujata Mohan is one huge blunder. Everyone knows who the original singers are. But why is O2 India not aware of this? It was sung by Minimini who also sang in Hindi may be after the great Alka maa rejected it and there's no male singer here. There's only bgm vocals by Rahman himself. Can't entertain a blunder about a song of the decades as it was mentioned.

@O2india Жыл бұрын

Dear Mr. Srinivas. Thanks for your comments, appreciation & feedback. Apologies for the error. Credit for Chinna Chinna Asai - is given twice. 2nd time - the credits are correctly given to Minimini. Yes - in the 1st instance - there is an error on part of our post production team. We are trying to corrct it. In fact we ourselves had noticed it but by then the episode had already gone public. We are finding ways to correct it. give us some time. Regards.

From an industry standpoint, A.R Rahman was a mix of good timing, good partnership and talent. This was a time where CD's where spread around through the north and the south, and then he would launch into the next generation of social media sharing and Spotify with strength as well. This adaptation is important as his music has just kept on sounding better, not just being well composed.

@sumanthnagabushan1063 Жыл бұрын

Rahman’s music is tailored to the movie and its situational, story and emotional needs, enhancing them to another astral plane. Judging it purely as an audio experience does the work gross injustice. His music is best for the movie scored for and better to be viewed individually, aligning with the director’s vision. There is an inherent historical problem with Indian perception of film music where songs (mostly) were placed to provide relief from tedious storylines than helping enhance them. Judging on the same principles nowadays needs a thought shift.

@sumanthnagabushan1063 Жыл бұрын

It would be amiss if there was a semi classical score for the visuals of O Saaya for example. That percussive breathless song matches the manic pace of escaping kids. It is a pathbreaking score but we whine just because it doesn’t match what we expect… but when has he ever done the expected 😄??!
