Talent or Heroism..?

Tamil cinema is giving out some remarkable movies these times. Sivaji was one of the outstanding flick with the awesome threesome Rahman- Rajini- Shankar. The movie was apparently a big hit and was one of the most expensive movie of all time in the history of Indian cinema. It was Rajini who ruled each and every single scene in the movie with a mind-blowing background score by the legend, Rahman. On the day of release, Rajini fans filled the theaters and the film was running house-full for about a week. When this is about Rajini, Padmashree Kamal Hasan, a renowned eminent actor who gives out his director's thoughts as a character, has done many challenging roles. One of his remarkable roles include Avvai Shanmugi, in which he plays as a old nanny. Kamal is a three-time National Award winner and 18 times Filmfare Award winner for his extraordinary roles. The contradictory part is that, Kamal has done roles which literally was eye-poping. But when it comes to Rajini, he has not done roles as outstanding as kamal. But still Rajini has enormous number of fans when compared to Kamal Hasan. This is because the aesthetic level of the audience is strongly focused on style and heroism. Actors like Kamal gives out roles which could probably show people some roles which they would'nt even have imagined. Rajini walks easily through peoples heart and finds the right place. Whereas Kamal puts in enormous effort, yet the fame and name is less when compared to Rajini.

There are many actors who takes their profession as their soul. Actors like Vijay found a different approach as a guy-among-the-crowd in his flicks. Whereas Ajith really finds roles which suits him best. In Godfather, Ajith has done double action one as a young lad, and the other as old man. Ajith was also into car racing, but could'nt continue it as he met with an accident few years back. When its comes to Ajith-Vijay, Both has equal number of fans. Vijay was recently honoured with a Doctorate for his acting. The biggest part is, Vijay has not done any exceptional roles in any of his movies. Whereas, Ajith have tried some characters which really was challenging ones. This controversial topic has some reason over it where people must not only support their favorite actors but also must respect skills of actors who really get into acting big time, taking every role with great endurance. Talent, and the way in which they give out perfectly will eventuate in success. Kudos to eminent artists. Wise people are always buoyed by the sucess.

A.R.Rahman.. My Musical GOD..

I would say, no one in the world can bring music which really gets into you and tune every single cell of your body, except one who stands out of everything, A.R.Rahman. I'm a Rahman fanatic, like everyone. Rahman renders his immaculate musical style into every song he composes. I'm really inspired by this legend who always looks simple, yet powerful. Rahman needs no introduction, but let me come up with something i know about him.

It was the ace director Mani Rathnam who gave Rahman a chance to make his movies look even better with music. He came to know about this genius when he went for an awards function, a young man received the award for the best ad jingle for Leo coffe ad. Rahman invited Mani to his studio but Mani turned up only after six months. Mani was flabbergasted by the music Rahman played along with his best buddy Bala, a music he composed on the basis of cauvery river water issue. Mani, without a second thought signed on the composer to score music for his next film. At 1991, he got into his first film as composer, Roja. It was a massive musical hit and hit the chart at number one. After that, Rahman and Mani tagged in giving out some super hits.

Going to the past, Rahman's was born actually as Dileep Kumar to R.K.Sekhar and Kasthuri on the 6th of january 1967. He is the second of four children. He had three sisters Kanchana, Bala and Israth. Kanchana being elder and the other two younger. He started playing keyboard at the age of four and his guru was Dhanraj master. What made him turn to muslim..? His father R.K.Sekhar, who was a composer, died when Rahman was 9. Unfortunately, he died at the same day his first film as composer was released. When his father was suffering from his illness, he was taken to eight to ten hospitals. They even took him to Christian priests and Hindu ascetics. But no hope. For some years, he started believing that there was no God. As Rahman said There was a feeling of restless within me. I realised that there can be no life without governing us, without one God. And i found what i was looking for in islam. We resolved to stick to the faith. His mother encouraged his father's footsteps. He joined as a troupe member of ace music director Ilayaraja. He even played keyboard for one of Ilayaraja's masterpiece Punnagai mannan theme. Continuing his stint in the advertising industry, he composed many jingles. He also composed title music for tv channels like Sun tv, JJ tv and Asianet.

He was given Rs. 25,000 for his first film Roja. He received a National Award and the filmfare R.D.Burman award for Roja. Now, he was given Rs. 1 crore for his latest flick sivaji. Rahman has laid his hands on hollywood, tollywood, bollywood, and other languages and scored the best. He also support to charities and composed many songs related. Recently he released One Love, in favor of The seven Wonders, in six different languages. It reached the people well and it made our very own Taj Mahal stand out of the rest. Now or ever, his music always stays in hearts. Rahman always the best, always the one who produces music in its way.

My very first blog.

Wow, im here for the first time.. This will be my first blog and i dont really know what to scribble.. But one thing im sure of, im exited, contented.. I read hardly some three or four blogs before getting into bloggin.. Those blogs were really very different to my eyes.. I believe even i could create something more useful and valuable.. I would post one soon.. As of now, i would like to share something regarding myself.. I'm doing my engineering in electronics and im in my third year now.. My passion is music.. If you let me sit in a couch and hit some good music, i would apparently sit the whole day long listening.. In short, a music maniac.. Genres does'nt matter to me.. What matter is good music.. I'v heard some musics which literally tears the eardrums, as from my view, its futile.. Maybe there are people who really get into heavy and hard rock.. Head-bangin' to each and every tune of the dexterous guitar players.. I dont say, and i wont say that heavy metal and other related hard rock genres sucks.. But hearing it continuously gives us headache.. I play guitar whenever i get bored or whenever im off my mood.. It really gives something in me which never gives a occasion for frown.. My other interests are collecting Mp3 songs no matter what language it is in.. I have many other interests but I guess this is enough for my first post.. More scribblings, later..
