Rahman is set to compose music for his first full-fledged Hollywood project 'Couples Retreat' and he is determined not to create anything similar to the 'Slumdog Millionaire' tunes. He also stressed that while there wouldn't be any Indian sounds, there would be a touch of Indianess.Source: IndiaeNews.com: Bollywood News | 20 Sep 2009 | 8:00 pm "Couples Retreat will have American rom-com music with a touch of my Indianness" - Rahman
The 'formula' works equally effectively across the cultural divide. If in Bollywood Rahman was expected to do a series of Rukmani rukmani after Roja in the West they want more Jai ho from this composing genius after Slumdog Millionaire.
But Rahman in his own quiet way is determined to not pander to western expectations. He made it very clear to the people behind his first full-fledged Hollywood film that he'd compose exactly what he thought to be the most apt music for the show.
Says Rahman, "Couples Retreat will have music that suits an American rom-com there're no real Indian sound in it. But yes, there will be a touch of Indianness in the sound. Otherwise what is the point of bringing me into the picture?"
Apparently there were numerous brainstorming sessions during which the sound of Slumdog Millaionire kept cropping up repeatedly.
Rahman gently but firmly steered the music away from the expected.
Chuckles the wizard of all composing things, "There's no point in doing something I've already done. I've reached a stage where I've to do new things. There're so many avenues to be explored. So Couples Retreat will be their (read: American) kind of music with my touch, done in my way."
Secretly Rahman agrees with those of his admirers and fans who feel Slumdog Millioniare is not among his best work.
Says a source, "He has done far superior work in films like Lagaan, Dil Se, Roja, Zubeida and the forthcoming Raavan and Blue. Friends keep telling him that. Slumdog was done in a hurry. In about 20 days flat. Rahman feels he could've done a lot better. He now wants the West to see some of his best."
Rahman is looking at Couples Retreat as his real launch into the West.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 20 Sep 2009 | 7:32 pm `Harishchandrachi Factory` to be India`s Oscar entry!Marathi film `Harishchandrachi Factory` will be India`s official entry for the Oscars.Source: Zee News : Entertainment | 20 Sep 2009 | 6:00 pm Man held for blackmailing Anoushka Shankar!A person accused of blackmailing renowned sitarist Anoushka Shankar has been arrested.Source: Zee News : Entertainment | 20 Sep 2009 | 6:00 pm Club gift: Sex workers to go pandal hopping - Times of India
Source: Entertainment - Google News | 20 Sep 2009 | 4:42 pm Subhash K Jha speaks on Wanted
Though National award-winner Prakash Raj's flamboyant villainy and Ayesha Takia's endearing cuteness do miraculously find a place in the plot, this is the hero's vehicle like very few masala-maar-ke products in recent times.
Welcome to the world of the won-man-army
Salman Khan adapts his goon's name Radhe from Tere Naam where he mixed violence with vulnerability in a heady brew. The mix in Wanted is far more brackish and tangy.
Wanted is an old-fashioned bone-cruncher with guns and goons creating a kind of orchestrated anarchy that was done with far more élan in Ghajini. In Wanted the violence is far cruder and guttural. The hero is on a sort of society-cleansing spree where the mode of conduct adopted by the villains and heroes become the same.
Director Prabhu Deva retains the crude edges from the original Telugu material Pokhiri. The villains are vicious and foul-mouthed. They are quite often seen in Khaki and very often represent the kind of unfettered anti-socialism that can only be contained by a law-sanctioned vigilantism that Salman practices in the last-quarter of this blood-thirsty tale. By the time he goes shirt-less the script has whipped itself into a sweaty stupor.
The plot is essentially a one-liner. One-man army takes on a city filled with scums. The villains are everywhere in Mumbai. It was Hyderabad in the Telugu original. But what difference does it make? Cities change, morality doesn't. The two-legged predators are everywhere. In boats and trains. In pubs and warehouses. One khaki-clad spitting and foul-mouthed villain (played with despicable authenticity by Mahesh Manjrekar) even infiltrates a decent woman's house and threatens to sleep with both mother and daughter. Ouch.
Mercifully the daughter Ayesha Takia has Salman for a boyfriend. But the poor police commissioner (Govind Namdeo, in a positive role for a change) is unlucky with his daughter. She gets kidnapped, raped and MMS-ed by the arch-villain. It's a mean world out there. Thank God for the screen hero.
While Vinod Khanna is wasted and Manoj Pawa's role as the overgrown boy-in-a-bubble next door doesn't quite fit into the scheme of things, Prakash Raj as the villain gives celluloid diabolism an interesting new twist. He looks zonked, menacing and ironical. His confrontation with the police commissioner is written with that polished panache that brings a twist to pulp frictions.
But make no mistake. This is a made-to-order film for Salman Khan. As a one-man army Salman springs into every frame with that trademark mix of a bored swagger and agile comicality. His romantic moments with Ayesha have a lived-in credibility except when the songs take over.
That's the cue to run for cover. Strictly for fans of action flicks, and Salman in that order.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 20 Sep 2009 | 4:02 pm Lisa enjoys rickshaw ride in Toronto
