Very bad review about MK background music in behindwoods.com
If there is a let down in the movie it must be the background music by Ilaiyaraja. The Maestro stamp is clearly missing in most places. The music and the scenes do not gel. Two songs grab attention. --- by Karthik and Shreya and Kaasu Illata, a thought provoking number by Ilaiyaraja himself. Otherwise, the album is pretty ordinary.
It is stupid that behindwoods says IR background score is bad ! - My review on Maayakannadi and the music of it .

IR's songs are "silver lining" in the cloud...
There is a nasty dog fight going on between these online media partners aka IndiaGlitz, Sify, BehindWoods. It all depends on who get's selected as the "online media partner" for a movie. For sure IndiaGlitz goes overboard in promoting their movies. Not sure whom to trust.
NormalMan, The old watchdogs (kumudam, vikatan) are much better reviewers than any of these new media guys, IMO...of these kumudam typically reflects box office results (means vimarsanam from a average movie goer viewpoint) and vikatan a above-average movie enthusiast's view point (may not accurately reflect BO, but has sometimes even influenced BO performance after the vimarsanam)
Both kumudam & vikatan praised autograph & TT. If they dump MK, don't bother watching the movie...Till they review, wait...
>>Looks like IR hasn't seen the changes happened/happening to the tfm over the years and still stuck with his old ideas<<
MrJudge, that's usually the case with "trend-setters"...even when they are not setting the trend anymore, they won't follow the trend...enna seiyya?
IR, being the smart man he is, has realised this and that's probably the reason he is signing up more MalayALam movies. I think in Thamizh, he is quite satisfied with the way his son (read YSR) has shaped up and IMO has to be strongly persuaded to take any assignment.
However, since he still has tons of composing talent (which need not depend upon trends and fancies), he should attempt more classical / artistic works is the expectation of his admirers...
I read in msvtimes.com that MSV, after heart surgery and in 70's, is still composing and I'm more than 100% sure he is not following any of these "trends"...(though his `engEyum eppOdhum' is a better hip song than many current ones)...IR is just a 10 year younger version of MSV in this aspect...What's more...he has his team to be fed, his time to be spent...as long as there are people approaching him, he'll churn out what he thinks is good music...
I read in a blog which quoted a 'chitrabhoomi' interview with IR where he says his best songs were for Malayalam movies...(even after removing the marketing part of it, it still has a ring of truth if we consider some of his wonderful songs in Malayalam...)
yes app_engine you are correct and once the same message was expressed by KJJ with different words, "so many forms music are hidden in his heart".Quote:

According to me, cinema is visual medium rather than dialog oriented.
It is clearly known, IR himself disappointed with the film, his RR in the first half was so good esp. while cheran imagination himself as a cine hero, but IMO he confused after that. Believe me, there as no RR many places. yes, silence was the most used RR in this film. Cheran has definitely confused how to finish the movie, before 10 min to end the movie, many people went out theatre because they thought film is over, but?. Eventhough MK disappoined me, i liked the storyline and nice climax. But the main mistake was the presentation and many unwanted scenes/dialogues (length morethan 3 hours :shock:). Padathula rendu mads (Cheran, Nayva) pesikittae irukkura mathiri oru feeling enakku and Cheran's hairstyle too irritated me.
Hi raja_fan, padathul intha paattu than rasikka mudikirathu with IR's wonderful preludes and interludesQuote:

Did anybody watch Mayakannadi? What do you feel?
I watched it last Friday here in Minneapolis. I really liked the first half but the second half was a drag. The movie ran for 3hr 15min. I guess Cheran have might removed some scenes for release in India.
Music. I already like 4 songs in this movie. There was some problem in the theatre where I watched the movie, most part the volume was low with no effects. For Ulagile Azhagi Nee Thaan song, the scene did not sync with the song. I don't know when the responsible people will stop deceving and exploiting the tamilians here.
BGM: I have no comments.
