Guys and Girls,

Hot topic of the week or month...Is this the fall of great ARR?

Please put your views across.

I hear AE have sold record breaking amount of albums. But hearing the songs I belive people only bought the albums expecting it to be good, rather than because it is good. Mani Ratnam movie, ARR, Mathavan, Suriya, Siddarth, Trisha, Meera Jasmine...everyone would have expected the songs to be really good...and also since ARR is coming from hits like Boys, Enakku 20 Unakku 18 and Kankala Kaidu Sai...but they were stupid enough to buy it without listening it on the net.

Or maybe that report is wrong. It was rather sony who bought them to save Rahman's face? What do you think guys? Is this the fall of the great ARR.

I think it won't be the end. He will come back. Hope anyway.

In my view, songs are so bad I laughed after hearing a couple of them. How could that clown Mani Ratnam accept these songs? Couple of songs doesn't have anywords to the songs...dol dol...what a disaster. Is is just he couldn't be botherd making tamil and hindi versions that he rather had a song common to both?

  Hi...i have listened to the Aaiyutha Ezhuthu songs and i think Rehman has come out on tops once again. Dol dol, needn't have any lyrics coz it's just one of those peppy numbers with beats...There is so much soul in each composition, i wonder why it didn't click with you. Let the music seep in and you'll fall in love with it.

  Ae rocks..Hey jackass..if u don't like,keep ur *ss shut..Just because you are a melody-maniac,don't expect everyone to be like you..You should start the topic as 'my personal opinion on AE'etc ..By saying that 'the fall of arr' is too much..

  Undeniably, A.R. Rahman has done it again. And the songs of Aaitha Ezhuthu more than prove the fact, living up to the enormous hype and expectations surrounding it. When three giants - Mani Ratnam, A.R. Rahman and Vairamuthu - join hands to create music, expect nothing but sheer magic and Aaitha Ezhuthu is one of them.
  There are altogether 6 songs in the film and the music has been designed keeping the essence of the youth in mind. A.R.Rahman has not deviated from his formula of composing music first and then writing the lyrics.
  The best song in the album is ‘Dol Dol’. This rap, foot tapping, racy music proves why A.R. Rahman is still the numero uno. This song reminds you of the music played in the nightspots throughout Europe. And, don’t be surprised if it sweeps the Indian discotheques as well.
  The song ‘Jana Gana Mana’ makes one dance rather than stand in attention.
  No Rahman album is complete without a melodious track which comes in the form of ‘Sandai Kozhi’ and ‘Nenjam Ellam’ sung by Madhushree, A.R. Rahman and Adnan Sami (for the first time), Sujatha respectively. These songs are sure to find a place in the Top 10 charts of music countdowns. It is here that Vairamuthu’s class stands out.
  Undoubtedly, Aaitha Ezhuthu is amongst Rahman's best offerings and is going to make the youth dance to his tunes.

  I think it is a compulsory requirement that singers in ARR songs should not know a word of tamil.
  
  The prounounciation of the lady singing 'Sandai Kozhi' is simply horrible.
  
  Is this a planned murder of tamil or ARR just does not care?

  Well, listening to the music itself did not satisfied me. I was much waiting and hoping that A.R.R. will give us something like he did for ManiRathnam's films earlier. I was greatly dissapointed. Lets hope how much the songs are nice to be heard and seen in the movie itself..

  Well, pls dont be mistaken all songs from AE. Sandai Kozhi and Nenjam Ellam are the only ones nice to hear for me...

  You r calling Mani a clown???? shit.
  Dol dol doesn't have lyrics ,well that's not needed at all.The theme of the film itself is youthful and not the classy one as Mani executed in 'Kannathil..' so don't expect 'Oru deivam thantha..' here.A composer should be versatile enough to inject life into the songs with any theme and situation..that's Rahman,give some more time for the songs to creep on you,watch the movie ,.. then let's talk about it,b'fore that don't make 'pisthu' statements like ARR-falling down and all the clownish gimmicks you have tried here...

  I heard the song Hey Goodbye Nanba from Aaiytha Ezhuthu and i haven't heard any tamil song like that before, ever. It's so unique (and not to mention jazzy)from the rest...although some songs like dol..dol..r just so crap with no words whatsoever. I dunno what kinda music people see in that song, it obviously does not seep into most of the normal people who listen to it. So ARR could get a 50% credit for the songs in that movie.
  Cheers!

  The only good songs are "Nenjam Ellam" and "Yakkai Thiri"

  AE is a great album

  i hate the fact that they write it in hindi then recite it, thats just lame!

  Can u give ur qualifications? One who calls Mani Ratnam a clown? Really sad that u couldn't enjoy the songs of AE. But to say that this could be his fall is taking things a bit far. Watch what u write u jerk!

  I seriously think guy has got his head put in the wrong way. Most of the time, the combination of ARR, Mani and Vairamuthu can only be truly appreciated after watching the movie.
  
  At first I took to only listening to 2 songs which is Sandai Kozhi and Nenjam Ellam. After watching the movie, I understand the motive behind each song and really appreciate the entire album.
  
  Dol is a song that celebrates Madhavan's success as a bussiness man. You dun need oruvan oruvan muthalali for this movie. Since the movie itself is set in modern days, in the metropolitan with ultra hype and modern people in the background the Dol Dol really is good. Besides, what do you expect Madhavan to do...run around trees making love to Meera Jasmine? That song is a really fun song for a rough and tough duo who are just happy that they are finally making a good living!
  
  Yakai thiri is my favourite! Jaana Gana Mana is a patriotic song! enuf said!

  sondai kozi is the best song in the film. thanks rahman for the beautiful tune and instrument. its lyrics are equally very very good. the singer madhushree sung beautifully. other songs in this films also good. thanks rahman for the beautiful music. you are the best.
