Liverpool creates history!!




Liverpool came in to this match with no goals in Stamford Bridge for 4 years. Liverpool had never scored a goal in Stamford Bridge under their coach Rafael Benitez. Chelsea had never lost a game at home for nearly 4 years but this was Liverpool's best chance as Torres started on the bench. The match started of in a slightly cautious manner. Liverpool were very good as an attacking force but the final ball was missing. Liverpool then got a lucky break as Xabi Alonso tried his luck from 25 yards and his shot deflected of a Chelsea player and Liverpool got the lead inside 15 minutes. Liverpool then started to go on the defensive and chelsea found it very difficult to break down.

In the second half Liverpool started brightly but created very few goal scoring opportunities but on the other hand Chelsea were missing that little bit and found Liverpool's defense hard to break. The match ended 0-1 in favour of Liverpool. Chelsea's first home defeat in 4 years.

Yuvvraaj Audio Review...




A.R.Rahman fans have already been treated by his albums like Jodha Akbar, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Ada and Sakkarakatti. But he never becomes tired. He comes with a better album everytime. This album is full of experimentations. This time the maestro has concentrated more on vocals. Let me take you through the various songs. I wouldn't rate them as I am noone to rate the maestro's work.

1. Main Hoon Yuvvraaj- Salman with the Fifth of Beethoven.
This time AR Rahman has used the fifth of Beethoven in one of his songs with the voice of Salman, who seems to be playing the character of Yuvvraaj in the movie. This is truly an experimentation and has come out very well. The song seems to be situational and I think the song would be go well with the movie.

2. Tu Meri Dost Hain - Benny Dayal , Shreya Ghoshal, A.R.Rahman.
The song starts with the humming by the magical voice of Rahman. Then Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal carry the song very well. Kollywood people would have heard Benny before. He has done justice to the song as his high notes are perfect n soothing. Shreya as always renders her best in this song, especially the ending part is too good. Rahman's stanza in the middle add extra flavor to the song. Overall a very catchy tune which is sure to remain in people's heart. Sure to rock.

3. Shano Shano - Sonu Nigam, Srinivas, Karthik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivienne Pocha, Tina

This song has all the makings of another Pappu cant dance song. This song's orchestration is worked upon pretty well. This will surely hit every dance floor. The lyrics part of it was disappointing though.

4. Tu Muskura- Alka Yagnik, Javed Ali

This is a perfect Rahman melody. The way this song is picturised will have a great impact on this song. Alka Yagnik's voice is so beautiful. Special mention to Javed Ali in this song. He has done a commendable job. A nice n soothing melody.

5. Mastam Mastam- Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik, Naresh & Benny

This song is a very energetic song, something like the Roobaroo song of RDB. However the orchestration part of it reminds me of Poraale Ponnu Thaayi of Karuthamma. No offence meant and i think it is intentionally done sometimes. The vocals are quite strong. The song will grow on you the more you listen to it..

6. Zindagi- Srinivas.

I wanted to hear Srini in Rahman'c compostion and my dream came true with this song. Srini steals the show with his voice. A catchy number which will surely make Rahman fans go mad. The tune is lovely.

7. Dil Ka Rishta- Sonu Nigam, Roopkumar Rathod n AR Rahman.

This is probably the song of the year. My favorite song of late by any composer. Man what orchestrations. What complex tunes. It starts with a classical note to it n then moves on to western style. Rahman's alaap in the middle adds great energy to the song. A special mention to Sonu Nigam. Wonderful singing. A perfect blend of vocals and orchestration. Sure to remain in people's heart for long.

8. Manmohini Meri-Vijay Prakash

This song is just out of the world. It is a perfect fusion of classical and western. Vijay Prakash's voice gives a magical touch to this song. A result of Rahman's effecient experimentation.

9. Shano Remix- Ember

This song is the remixed version of Shano and has been very well remixed by Krishna Chetan. This is sure to hit the parties.

A great album by AR Rahman, who proves that he still can deliver his best. He satisfies every class of audience through this album.

Vaaranam Aayiram postponed to November 14th.




The next movie of Kollywood actor Surya is Vaaranam Aayiram. It is the second movie of the Gautham-Surya combo. Already the songs by Harris are chartbusters and the expectations of the movie has gone sky high. The movie has some special names like Simran, Sameera Reddy, Divya, etc in prominent roles.

The movie is about a father son relationship with both the roles being handled by Surya himself. It was first expected that the movie would be released this Diwali, but however due to lack of theatres the movie has been postponed to November 14th. It will be a worldwide release. Lets hope it lives upto the expectations...

ManUtd wins..




Manchster United continued their good home form against WestHam on Wednesday. United were in awesome form in the first half. United came into this match after 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday. United dominated the first half with some swift movement and the West Ham defence was absolutely bamboozled by the pace of United. Ronaldo came into his goal scoring form with a beautifully executed move. WestHam were absolutely outplayed in the First Half.

Ronaldo then scored his second of the night with some wonderful work by Berbatov who was excellent through out the game. West ham were stifled as an attacking force. United started to relax in the Second Half. They could have easily scored another couple of goals. The match ended 2-0 in favour of United.
