So is CH an adversary of IR? :roll:

No harm trying out a new combo. But going back and looking at history, KH-ARR chemistry was not a cherished one. VS gave wonderful numbers in Anbe Sivam. KH-VS would have been a wonderful alternative combo.

And finally if KH/CH think Mumbai Express was NOT new stuff, then I'm running out of words to defend IR's capabilities.

Mr. Mahendran, f you ever happen to make a new movie, please work with IR and rekinder the "Jhonny" spirit in him. If only wishes became true .... :(

i donot know ..

NormalMan, CH is just being market savvy like how any producer had approached IR , not because they realized his greatness in music, more so because he spelt audio success in the 80's , was a brand name .
What irks fans like us is when we have been discerning enough to appreciate the smooth jazz and all that stuff of IR from even a flop movie like MumbaiExp, their own producers have decided to walk over him and go towards greenback pastures

yes, ur bang on.. Rajkamal has become market savvy. The fact of the matter is kamal's song picturisation style is also a major factor for the commercial failure of some classic songs from the kamal-IR combo..

I disagree. MX songs were aptly choreographed, and it's a good film. the only issue was the film was like a "soccer game" for the Cricket loving audience. It also has few extreme slapstick humour that fell flat on its face. The audience didn't understand how progressive the "album" was, because they were already underwhelmed of the film sadly..

I agree.
Best example till date is Virumandi !
Think about "onna vida" and "kombula poova sutthi".
Also "Poo poothadhu.." from MX..

Whole world knows who actually owns Rajkamal.If a MD or any other technician is chosen by rajakamal, it very well means that they are chosen by Kamal and noone else.CH may give his opinion but Kamal is the one to decide.

Remember Heyram.I have no complaints about the song picturisation there and what about the songs ghost-directed by Kamal ( Sundari neeyum, Kanmani anbodu kadhalan..) no complaints there too.

i am not saying that kamal picturises songs badly. :lol: his style of picturisation in his recent movies is not at all commercial.. its all about quality/realism for him.. and this wont work well commercially most of the time

my 2 cents on Mumbai xpress.

It is a ridiculously low budget movie with kadi comedies. I just got an impression that the movie was incomplete made without complete thought and planning.

The final comedy sequence where everyone asks to stop Mumbai xpress is somewhat hilarious, but too much of it really gets on our nerves really.

I am also very disappointed that Kurangu kayil song was not played completely. Also, the whole sequence of kidnapping looked so idiotic and pathetic to me - they could have atleast kidnapped differently without those big stunt scenes with a crane etc.....................


I expected a sensible movie, and Singeetham let me down so badly. The other funny thing was this competed with chandramukhi, and quite expectedly this vanished without a trace.

My post is certainly not to offend Kamal or Singeetham fans - it just brings out my utter disappointment with this movie.
