SSR came to the NIFFF today for RRR Screening and he stayed the whole time till mid night. Just watching the Film

Firstly it’s a surreal experience to watch the film with the maker himself. when the scenes are playing I’m recollecting all the interviews and documentary stuff I watched about the movie on how he made all of this possible and he’s right next to us watching the film. Again watching the film, not the audience. He must’ve seen it 1000s of times. Still he’s watching the film with passion and sometimes emoting. You need to have that passion and love and more for your work to reach the level SSR is at.

P.S sorry for the grainy footage. I have an iPhone 13 and it’s dark

The Secret Weapon Behind MM Keeravaani’s God-Tier Action Scores: The Art of Konnakol

KONNAKOL is the breathtaking art of performing rhythmic vocal percussion phrases which is said to be originated from the sounds of Mridangam (Indian double sided drum used in Carnatic music).

The grammar typically contains phrases like "Tha Ki Ta Dhi Mi" etc. which is called as SOLKATTU and Konnakol is the art of performing these vocally.

MM Keeravaani has a deep Indian classical musical background and over the years he mastered the art of blending this art form in modern film scores and western orchestra.

He uses these phrases with powerful vocals to emphasize the action/drama on screen. By pairing the hard going percussions and orchestral elements with these powerful vocals and vocal phrases, MMK excels in structuring the rhythmic exclamation and melodic depth required to empower the grand visuals on screen.

The entire 1v100 sequence in Magadheera is filled with such elements, the chase scene in Simhadri, the statue lifting scene in Baahubali The Beginning and many more like these in his career.

This is a small compilation of his exceptional skill in blending the carnatic art in modern music. Not only Konnakol but he uses other highly powerful vocal phrases such as HEYSSA RUDHRASSA and others too which can be observed in tracks like Undying Glory, War and Passion etc. I truly believe that MM Keeravaani has beautifully carried the soul of our culturally rooted music to the global stage and will continue doing it. Highly anticipated for Varanasi's score

This interview is from Aug 2023! Do you think they’re talking about Priyanka?

If it is not PC, I don’t think we’ll have any other big names from Hollywood, cause we would’ve gotten some news. But if there are any, they’ll definitely use them during promotions in USA. Any news that might be relevant to this?
