hmm. If they are remixing and re-arranging music, then the one that is doing that should be the MD for this version of the movie.
But the ads say Illayaraja as Music Director and hope he is atleast aware of this :)

Well, still no news of when movies like 'Padithurai' or 'Azhagarswamy Kudhirai' will release. The only 'new' release as of now is 'India 24 Hrs'. I call this new release because this is the first time it has been released widely. When you can get it in Bangalore, I consider it to be 'wide' release :) I had been searching for this album for a long. The only recourse was to 'thiraipaadal' or to the clips that CRV had loaded in his blog.
The CD has excellent production values. I should say I am mightily impressed with the art works of Agi Music. This one has a white cover and looks very neat. The recording quality is top class.
The album is made out of 17 short instrumental pieces. The longest piece is less than 5 min duration. The whole thing was made to go along with the visuals but they do work as standalone pieces. I can't pick one over the other. Each one is lovely. There are quite a few places where the flute plays some very touching tunes. The album is made up of lot of real instruments and some synthesizer. If you understand that the pieces were made for certain visuals and you are ok with short instrumental pieces, then this album is a must-have. What I mean is, don't expect a NBW or HTNI here.
Thanks to Agi Music for getting this out. My feeling is that they will reach a wider audience if they are able to somehow bring down their prices.
I think by buying Agi stuff one can possibly be sure that IR personally gets some royalty.Quote:

Let's hope this Agi guy has ethical business practices!
a new album news - na.muthukumar said on the Yuvan show in vijay TV that he is writing the songs for IR in kalaingar's Ponnar Sankar.
Well said app. That's one of the reasons for me buying IR's albums (HTNI, NBW, India 24 hrs) and other IR compilations from them. The recording quality is very good on all the CDs I bought from them. They even have albums available on iTunes & CDBaby now and it's more convenient to get IR's gems through legal means.Quote:

The Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Sun Pictures are going to produce Mani Ratnam's next project in Tamil Kalki's magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, a period drama!
It is said to be a big budget extravaganza which industry sources say would cost a whopping Rs 200 Crore plus. Jayamohan is said to be penning the dialogues, which would be a full –fledged adaptation of the novel. There are strong rumours that Ilayaraja may team up again with Mani.
Ponniyin Selvan, is a fictionalised account of Chola King RajaRaja 1 and one of the greatest works of Tamil literature, penned by arguably the most celebrated writer, Kalki. The star cast and other details are being worked out on the film which is in pre-production.

MR & IR Combo possibility? :?:
I got personal update from Jeyamohan. Discussions are on for Ponniyin Selvan. JM has not been confirmed yet. Likewise Mani approaching IR is just a rumour as of now.
Thanks for showing some 'Neruppu' :)Quote:
