		Upon hearing the tune, Tarsem says he was temporarily lured away from the lucrative commercial industry by the pure, young voice of a Pygmy girl singing a cappella at the close of the track.
		Tarsem, who worked on the video -without pay; was inspired to lens a global odyssey to complement the ethereal audio track.
		Tarsem and his crew took a journey of their own to shoot "Sweet Lullaby," crossing eight countries on four continents during a 4 1/2-week shoot late last year.

	The Cell Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tarsem Singh's directorial debut is a dark and often very disturbing look at the inner workings of a serial killer's demented mind.
		Tarsem wants to take us to the darkest side of life, and he portrays it through amazing cinematography, special effects, costume design, and set design.
		And of course, Tarsem is a direct child of the MTV generation.

	DVD Review - The Cell: Platinum Series
		Tarsem, as you'll find on the director's commentary and in the deleted scenes, is a fountain of film references.
		Even the featurette is brilliant, because while everyone is waxing Tarsem's ass in the interviews, we see footage of Tarsem directing the camera and frames and putting actors on their marks or showing them how to move so that it'll be cooler looking.
		But Tarsem needs to learn the non-visual side of his craft, and go work with actors in a theater, where he can't be so reliant on camera set-ups.

	The Hindu : Some bhangra, some reggae
		And while his style separated Tarsem from scores of Punjabi pop singers who were also trying for space in the industry, the singer soon earned the title of being the "father of this unique technique".
		Tarsem claims it is a trend that is not bad at all.
		Tarsem, who claims to be a huge fan of artistes like George Michael and Asha Bhonsle, says his biggest dream in life is to set up a hospital in Jalandhar, and create good music.

	Washington Post, The (DC), October 29, 2000 , p
		Tarsem became interested in the script because the killer’s mind offered him a blank canvas on which to paint his stylized imagery, which he has used to great effect in ads for Levi’s, Nike, Coca-Cola and MTV.
		According to Tarsem, De Luca was alarmed at the level of brutality in “The Cell” after he showed the studio his first cut.
		Tarsem recalls debating whether to edit the second evisceration scene, with the killer winding the intestines of an FBI agent on a spit: “The whole basement scene, the cutting-down-on-the-intestine thing, when those were cut down the numbers didn’t change.

	I live in my own la-la land: Tarsem Singh- The Economic Times (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tarsem Singh's story seems to have been lifted straight out of a make-believe movie.
		Gulshan Grover, who convinced me to shoot in India, might be a part of the project," says Tarsem, who draws inspiration for his latest project from Yohoho, a Bulgarian movie he saw at a film festival in Delhi 21 years back.
		While Tarsem finds Aamir Khan "inspiring" and Lagaan "superb", it's not as if he is in love with Bollywood.

	Production
		"Tarsem and I had been working together for about two years and were aggressively looking for a project that would capture his sensibility and his aesthetic and make the most out of it," says Julio Caro.
		Tarsem met Jake in New York and thought he was just right for the role of Vince Vaughn's partner.
		Tarsem met Dylan in New York and immediately thought he was perfect for the role of Henry, the techie.

	The Cell
		Tarsem has made a lot of videos for MTV, and the only gripe I had about several of the visuals in the film is that he's incorporated several of his music video backdrops and shots into this film.
		Tarsem effectively cuts between both the real and imaginary world in such an effective manner that both become surreal.
		I have a feeling Tarsem and screenwriter Mark Protosevich had something else up their sleeves for a conclusion, because the ending did not feel in line with the rest of the film.

		Tarsem and I also share a sense of trusting and relying heavily on visual expression.
		Luckily, Tarsem and I agreed on almost all of the design ideas for the "specialty costumes," which I was in charge of, and I was really pleased with how all of them turned out.
		The only one that Tarsem didn’t approve right away and that I had some trouble with was the armor that Jennifer Lopez wears at the end of the film.

		Aishwarya's exquisiteness, Tarsem's vision and the esoteric world of vast space, endless horizons, dramatic desert-scapes and jagged mountain heights have synergised in harmony to bring out the essence of Nakshatra.
		JWT and Tarsem's collaboration on the new Nakshatra film with its spectacular imagery is bound to create waves for the brand in the Indian jewellery market.
		The 60-second film conceptualized by J Walter Thompson, is a depiction of how the radiance and brilliance of Nakshatra transforms a dancing Apsara, whose energy and vitality is waning because the universe is in the midst of an eclipse.

	Queer in Your Ear 5
		Tarsem's visual tropes to the spirituality of his homeland of India counterpoint a range of Christian iconography strong enough to get the video banned in Ireland.
		Their deadpan delivery in Tarsem's video, and their reserved personae everywhere, make the exotica of the video all the more anacronistic.
		Tarsem has the guts to ladle homoerotica into his videos, but maybe it's time he showed us he knows not only how to use it, but when.

	Tarsem Singh's The Cell rings another hit for Indian-American filmmakers
		Add to it Tarsem Singh's background as an MTV maverick, and it's easy see why critics have been startled out of a slumberous summer in Hollywood.
		Little is known about Tarsem's Indian background except that he was born there and come to the US at a young age.
		In interviews promoting the film, Tarsem agreed the material is very harsh and expected his ornate visual style will result in ``a graphic opera about trying to understand the mind of a serial killer.''

		And that's unfortunate, because the extras also show that Tarsem and his team were after something like pure cinema: sound and images that sublimate plot and characterization to their whims.
		Tarsem admits as much in his commentary and in the "Style as Substance" documentary included on the DVD.
		Tarsem says he cut it because it was too dark and that the studio wanted a happy ending.

	The Cell review
		A serial killer (Vincent D'Onofrio) kidnaps and encloses women in an isolated cell, a sort of aquarium that is gradually filled with water under the eye of a camera.
		Tarsem's images, a TV ad and video director (Levi's, "Losing My religion" by REM) come from a great aestheticism, in beauty as well as in horror.
		Tarsem uses saturated live colors to contrast between good and evil, and his stylized direction is an aesthetic success.

	The Cell movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		He is formally known as Tarsem Singh, but he has recently dropped his last name.
		This is Tarsem's first Hollywood film and I already can't wait to see his next film.
		Protosevich was probably the first to think of some of the visuals of this film, but Tarsem mostly elaborate from his own vision.

	CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development
		Tarsem's seems to be to ignore every opportunity for deeper characterization available.
		I don't think Tarsem can establish himself in one film, I think he is going to have to make at least 2 or 3 more films to make his name known.
		And with the visual potential Tarsem displayed, it saddens me to lump it in with movies like Titan, which weren't nearly as pleasing on the eyes as this.

	Venice International Film Festival - Mostra
		Tarsem is short for Tarsem Dhandwhar, the visionary Indian director who brought you music videos such as R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion, Deep Forest's Sweet Lullaby, and many commercial spots for Levi’s, Nike, Reebok, Coca-Cola,...
		With influences spanning Dali, Lynch and Caravaggio, Tarsem pulls out all the stops in the psychic sequences, but fails to convince in the realism department.
		Although it met with a rather lukewarm reception at Venice, the Cell will certainly appeal to fans of the buxom Lopez, who can be seen wearing all kinds of exotic costumes and ornaments.

	Desi Movies in American Cinema
		Director Tarsem Singh has the number one grossing film of the week in "The Cell," a psychological thriller in the same vein as "Silence of the Lambs" and "Seven." Look to the top of the video rental list and you'll see M. Night Shymalan with his megahit "The Sixth Sense" on top.
		Tarsem, who prefers the single moniker, grew up in India and went to boarding school in the Himalayas before coming to the United States to study business at Harvard.
		In addition, Ebert writes, "Tarsem is an Indian, like M. Night Shymalan of "The Sixth Sense," and comes from a culture where ancient imagery and modern technology live side by side.

	Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
		You may remember Tarsem from the debacle known as, THE CELL - and Moriarty's famously "racist" tagging of him as "Tarzan".
		Tarsem Singh proves that he's much better than the material he had to work with in The Cell (2000), with a clearly much more personal project (he wrote and produced, as well as directing) called The Fall.
		I truly hope that The Fall enjoys the kind of success that will open the door for Tarsem Singh to work more on his own terms, and not have to do things like the Westworld remake that appears to be his next feature.

	DVD.net : The Cell - DVD Review
		Often speaking at double the speed of sound, Tarsem waxes lyrical on his film and its production process like a man possessed, covering everything from his intentions for the movie’s style (“big, loud like an opera”) to the costumes (particularly lamenting the loss of one key item) and the cast.
		But as it turned out, she wasn’t comfortable with the intense use of water in the film, and Tarsem doesn’t let up about his disappointment.
		A great feature here is the choice, once a scene is selected, of playing it with or without commentary from Singh; the non-commentary audio, by the way, is a very basic track comprising location audio and temp effects.

		Educated at a boarding school nestled in the Himalayas, Tarsem moved to the United States to study business at Harvard.

		She agrees to enter the psyche of the comatose Stargher to try to discover the location of his hidden torture chamber.
		The fantasy world that is Carl Stargher's mind is filled with the same sort of rich, colorful, pseudo-religious imagery, plus a mind-bending combination of weird bondage fantasies and memories of childhood abuse.
		Often, the viewer is more grossed out than scared, which was probably not Tarsem's intent.
