guys, music sans language - go get yourself Cheeni kum only for the interludes and the orchestral wonder
Thats a riot there @ rediff folks :lol:
Yeah sure we do know this is not Raaja's best but its the best in recent times for an hindi album :P
And what kind of boring lady sonia is!!! commenting upon using the same singer for all songs and telling that the album is repetitive :roll:
and we do know that right! just listen to 3 songs and 2 theme music it makes 5 completely different tracks wat more to ask from an album i dont understand. :?
I found this one too interesting !

Am no music expert n i did not even know cheeni kum music is by Ilayaraja. but i have been listening to the promos in the tv for last couple of days n i thought it sounds so refreshing n different n easy on ears unlike those unbearable nasal deliveries by this baseball cap monkey thrust on you every time u switch to a music channel. even my two yr old comes running to listen to cheeni kum promos!
after reading your stupid review and the tremendous negative responses to it from the message board i've decided to go n get a cd of cheeni kum.
thank u rediff!
Even 2 year kid appreciates Cheeni kum..
Rediff கெடக்கட்டும் விடுங்கப்பா...இதப்பாருங்க...

It almost looks like a crafty IR fan posing... still, IR is finally reaching out to the north.Quote:

it is reallt weird that rediff is resorting to such cheap tactics for publicity!
having read the review and the comments from the readers, I actually went ahead and listened to the album! with an open mind - surprise, surprise, it is completely different from any other stuff i have listened to, so far in Bollywood!
curious to know further, I dug up some info on the composer to learn more - and I was taken aback at the kind of adulation this guy commands not just from people/mass, but from great artistes like classical singers/ musicians/even western classical music conductors like John Scott! surely there must be something about his music, that is beyond north-south distinctions!
I went ahead and read some of this guy's interviews: on one hand, he is very cryptic in his answers, on the other hand, his passion and knowledge of music seem to be pretty deep - he is from the south, but knows indepth about every other composer and their composing styles in India past and present!
i happened to listen to some of his tracks in his website www.raaja.com - and voila! it is mind-blowing - perhaps, had I been born and brought up in the south, I would be as passionate as most of those who have posted in this discussion, but guys, surely someone who composes "surmai" (SADMA) must be something special.
whatever be the case, in the world of money-making media manipulation, Rediff has ensured that it continues to get a substantial no of hits to its website everyday - so maybe this review was deliberate to provoke these kinds of responses from readers! we may never know
