how many songs included in the movie and what are?
It's so long since someone did complete justice to Raja's songs on screen - Mysskin does that. Both 'oNNukkoNNu' and 'thAlAttu kEkka nAnum' are put to very good use that you cannot ask for more. (Should agree I liked the latter more after watching the film). Two tiny bits of 'mella oorndhu oorndhu' squeezed in as well.
Aravind, Did you watch the movie already? :DQuote:

Thanks AravindMano for short note
raajarasigan - Doesn't sound like I have watched it? ;) Went for matinee.
Sanjeevi - My pleasure.
Arvind,
Waiting for your take on Raja's BGM.
For those who know Tamil, here is Cable Shankar's blog about the movie. He has a lot to say about Raja's music.

Suresh ji - என்னத்த புதுசா சொல்லிடப்போறேன்? :) I could almost see how kicked he is to get such space in a film - Like an important twist(I hate this word, but couldn't think of any other) in the plot is conveyed only thru his score. The film is more an assortment of moments, being a road movie, and Raja exploits it to the full extent.
At times the film itself pushes too much for it's point ('இந்த உலகம் எவ்வளவு அழகா இருக்கு பாருங்க சார்? types’) and Raja faithfully orchestrates it. I was a bit put off with this aspect of the film itself and I don't think I can blame him.
The theme piece is just brilliant. Most of the crowd stayed to listen when the credits were rolling.
Almost heard all instruments. And was a bit excited whenever guitars were employed. :)
Aravind,
Thanks for the review. As usual Raja orchestrates as per the vision of the director. Not sure when or whether the movie will be released in Bangalore. Will probably have to wait for Moser Baer to release the movie on CD :D
Great to see positive reviews from everywhere.
Aravind,
I heard that the last 45 minutes of the movie has no dialogues and Maestro has enhanced the viewing experience only with this background score. Is it true or that part is taken off? Thanks for your review.
Suresh ji - My pleasure!
V_S - No, nothing of that sort. In general the film had minimal dialogues though with the BGM taking over.

Serenity in 2 hours

From the titles shot - the waves slowly undulating in the titles credit - and to the same one repeated in climax, Nandalala delights you with the visual and emotive content of refined cinema seldom experienced.
From the first scene where young Aswath Ram (a brilliant performance) waits for a disappeared mom, to the heart wrenching truck driver's beating of Mysskin and to the climax shot (where fittingly there is nothing dramatic), everything proceeds with a calm. You emote with the characters, but you are not distraught with their condition. That is the greatness of Mysskin!
Seeing the film was recalling Tennyson's Song of the Brook. As the story flows along like a murmuring river, you too do so. The visual narration combined with Maestro's mellifluous violin and flute compositions take the story telling to a new peak.
The film demands repeated viewing for the climax alone, as it is novel attempt to encapsule 2 hours of emotions into a single frame. It also bespeaks of the serenity of the Zen..
Thanks to Ayngaran for releasing this in US as well. Going to see this tomorrow and hopefully again wednesday...
njv - is it being screened anywhere in Illinois ? or texas ?

Just back from sathyam (escape cinemas ) .... Film was good in most places , though i wouldn't rate great - its raaja's music that carries the film forward . Amazing stuff from raja !

முதலில் இளையராஜாவின் பாதம் தொட்டு வணங்கிவிட்டு இந்த விமர்சனத்தை எழுத ஆரம்பிக்கிறேன்.
http://www.thacinema.com/2010/11/blog-post_27.html
இளையராஜாவின் இசைதான் அத்தனை காட்சிகளையும் நிரப்பிக்கொண்டேயிருக்கிறது எங்கும் விரவிக் கிடக்கும் காற்று போல. சில இடங்களில் அதுவும் கொஞ்சம் செயற்கைத்தனமாய் இருந்தாலும் மனதை உடைக்கும் உளியாய் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள முடிகிறது. வெறும் காட்சிமட்டும் கொடுத்துவிடாத நெகிழ்ச்சியை, ராஜா வலிந்து கொடுக்கிறார். உடையத் துவங்குகிறோம் நாம். குறிப்பாக மிஷ்கின் தனது தாயை பல ஆண்டுகளுக்கு பின்பக் காணும்போது, ராஜாப் பாடத் துவங்குகிறார், அப்பாடலின் முதல் வரியை. உடலுக்குள்ளும் மனதிற்குள்ளும் அப்படியே அனைத்தும் ஒரேகணத்தில் உடைந்து நொறுங்குகிறது. அதலபாதாளத்தில் வீழ்கிறோம். ராஜாவை இதற்காக பாராட்டவேண்டுமா அல்லது வேண்டாமா என்பதில் குழப்பம் மிஞ்சுகிறது.
.
Some of the great aural & visual experiences
1) The very first scene where you see the kid standing outside the school and with crowd going out of school. the music starts when the visual shows the kid alone , with no one to accompany him back to home .
2) When the kid ( in the night) searches for the kid who is crying and asks if he misses his mom. Central theme .
3) Quite unusually, when the policeman searches for the kid & Mysskin and finds them ..well !
4) When the kid , myskin and the physically challeneged person finds a lady physically assaulted and try to save her .
5) When in Annaivayal , in search of Myskin's mother , the entire sequence was shot like a french movie with world music .
6) The music accompanying when myskin & kid walk over the road in their journey.
7) When myskin hears the word 'amma' from one of the fellow mate and gets angry . the secene preceding that and following that = perfect.
Visited the temple of the other religion - Nandhalala yesterday night with Rajarasigan, TM and Hamid.
First half was bit dragging for me, may be too new for me. 2nd half was very good.
Songs and BGM - Too Good :notworthy: As Ramki mentioned above, IR fills the gap / vacuum with his music wherever necessary and appropriately!
I would not say this as movie of the year (Maybe this kind of movie is too new for me to fathom any hidden meaning). But, definitely worth a watch, atleast for 2nd half.

படத்தின் ஹீரோ சாட்சாத் இளையராஜாதான் என்பதில் மாற்றுக் கருத்தே இருக்காது. அவரது இசையைத் தவிர்த்துவிட்டு இந்தப் படத்தை 10 நிமிடம் கூட முழுசாகப் பார்க்க முடியாது!

“தாலாட்டு கேட்க நானும்...” என்று இளையராஜாவின் குரல் கேட்கும் நொடியில் கண்களில் இருந்து கண்ணீர் வழிந்தோடுவதை தடுக்க முடியவில்லை.
http://www.athishaonline.com/2010/11...post_9288.html
படத்தின் நாயகன் இளையராஜா. அவர் இசையமைத்த படங்களின் உச்சம் இது என்று நிச்சயம் கருதலாம். இளையராஜா இல்லாமல் இப்படத்தை ரசிக்க முடியுமா தெரியவில்லை. அம்மா என்றால் இளையராஜாவுக்கு கசக்குமா என்ன.. வெறியாட்டம் ஆடியிருக்கிறார் ராஜா. முழுக்க முழுக்க இளையராஜாவை நாயகனாக்கி அழகு பார்த்திருக்கிறார் மிஷ்கின். ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் பிண்ணனியில் ராஜாவின் குரலோ இசையோ வரும்போதெல்லாம் கண்களில் நீர்கசிவதை உங்களால் கட்டுப்படுத்தவே முடியாது. கதறி அழவைக்கிற உங்களை உருக்கி வார்க்கிற இசை.
No. Just CA and NJ for now. Check out bigcinemas.com. they may do it eventually.Quote:

At two places
A taut screenplay, scintillating shots and above all the flawless background score by Illayaraja sets up the momentum. A rare attempt on big screen, ‘Nandhalala’ goes on to say loudly that all hope is not lost in Tamil cinema.
The scene stealer is Illayaraja. The maestro has given flesh and blood to the movie. One wonders when was the last time we have seen the background score in a film evoking tears in our eyes. His good use of symphony orchestra is apt. Watch out for an 'Amma' song by the Isaignani in the movie
Nandalala starts slowly (in fact, very slowly as the first shot itself goes for around 2 minutes without moving the camera / background score). The first 40 min will be really a testimony of your patience.. I have to admit that I am NOT used to this kind of melodramatic road movies.. so it took me some time to get into the story. The movie picks up from the song Onnukonnu where Myskin did full justice with his picturization . From there on, it is a real treat to watch. There is NO doubt that IR lifted this movie to a different level with his score. I am very much impressed with the way he used the silence in the BGM .
More than IR's score, I was stunned with the visuals. Athum camerava ovvoru muraiyum pinna pogumbothu, you can expect a surprise. It was there in almost each and every scene. The first scene where Myskin was almost running towards us only to speak from a small hole "***** adichittu vandhurava"..
climax was very smooth and no cinematic (actually, I did NOT understand it well initially )
Performances are adequate to the movie.
Warning:
1. stay away from this movie if you can't watch off beat themes
2. better to book a odd time show. I was irked with the counter comments in the theater as audience were restless.
I hope I can watch this movie again...
Nandalala - A visual treat
I love road movies...that's movies not just have roads...the story happens while traveling... :swinghead:
the characters experience and encounters different kind of individuals, transform in their life.
road movies are all about subtle emotions felt, gorgeous nature & geography of excellent cinematography will increase the visual pleasure... the quite moments :musicsmile:
vinatha.
Give it back i say!Quote:

really delighted to see IR's name back in the headlines after quite sometime.
hope directors notice that he still has the energy and creativity and provide him challenging assignments.

Like in cricket where Sachin Tendulkar is revered as ‘God’ and all other batsman pale off in front of his deeds, Ilaiyaaraja is way ahead of all his contemporaries when it comes to novelty.
There are funny moments and the two characters meet couple of characters with utter frustration in life, regular folks & Villans - manageable troublemakers while they travel.
opening scene is good.
Nasser's appearance in a kutti scene nicely removed the Villan.
It is not a profoundly moving or emotionally touching movie..make you think or ponder about scenes or characters after you leave the theater.
ஒன்னுக்கொன்னு ....ஸ்ரீ.யேசுதாஸ்... song placement is emotional. :thumbsup:
camera is nice.:thumbsup:
movie is OK.
That kid runs Reserve Bank of India from his socks :roll:
vinatha.
When i watched this movie in escape - sathyam , a band of ass holes accompanying a guy ( who featured in a scene in this movie as an irritant husband of the honeymoon couple ) were making constant comments , esp the girls ! If they wanted a night with that person, why not find a better way !!!Quote:

Planning to see the movie again , probably during the day time when the theater will be a bit empty ..THE music is still in my brain ..
I think, It is a rare combination, Emotional + Brilliant. But Nandalala is. Wonderful film with awesome music. :Negizhchi: Tears in both eyes and @ both climax (first half end and film end). Hats off to Myskin, Ilayaraja and the team.
I felt like watching Bala movie at times but with entirely different tone and brilliant visual shots
IMO the best BGM score in recent years from Raaja as well as from India. Myskin definitely a good actor too :)
Best movie of the year :notworthy:
Fortunately I enjoyed the movie without much disturbance (may be because of 'early morning'! (9 am) show)
Ayngran has some interesting links to the movie.

I'm really fond of Kai Veesi but do not understand it. Any enlightenment on how it was picturised.
Sunil_M88 ,
kai veesi is omitted from the movie > I believe it was supposed to be shot on the trio in the second half .
