rAsA to be on visay teevee
Telecast of YSR Chennai show...
I can only guess since Balu didn't give his reasons. It definitely has to do with the melody, movement of the song (the flow), the orchestration and the sangatis in the song. Of course I can understand you being puzzled. All these are there in all the best Raja songs so why pick this up. I think we need to ask SPB that :)
எஸ் பி பி கொஞ்சம் உயர்வு நவிற்சி அணிக்காரர் :-)
அம்புட்டுத்தேன் :-)
yeah..... there are some amazing pahadies Indian cinema has given.
From Khaiyyam, MSV-TKR, Ravi to IR have given zillion compositions with amazing poetry in the voices of Rafi, TMS & female singers etc.. for good situations.
but
mounamaana neram... is indeed extra special for some of us, it is sung by S.P.B.
yeah... it is extra special because of you, my dear Lover boy!
Forever romantic voice of Indian cinema.
We love you, S.P.B.
....... I will give up singing"
Come on, Bala.
You don't mean that.
aahaa...
two celestial pahadies forever fresh from 60s in distinctly different mood.
Classy.
serenity of khaiyyam saab's bahaaro mera jeevan bhi sawaaro...Lata's pahadi.
the elongations and the laid back mood of the composition-
khaiyyam saab is contemporary always.
lag ja gale ke phir hasi raat..... soulful & sexy, slow & longing Madhan mohan dhun(ponmeni thazhuvaamal..)
We love pahadi dhun
vinatha.
Also the exchange between vocal and instruments in charanams..
The song is about two hesitant lovers sharing a moment of quiet loneliness
So the instrumental melody starts the proceedings and the words, verses sung by male and female join..
now male asks a question.. female doesnt answer it, the instrumental melody answers.. female answers it or asks the next question.
Their closeness is not absolute. there is a gap . It reflects the gap between the characters that is later revealed in the movie.. It requires a poetic mind to punctuate a song like that.. Well thought out and perfectly executed..
And the visuals for 'mounamAna nEram' - absolute, absolute treat!
The most enjoyable part is the post-bath scene where Jayapradha settles down in the living room to listen to audio!
Lovely take on the song Jai. I never though of it that till now but now it is so logical. From what I saw in the video SPB was enjoying the melody and orchestration more. So I think even he would appreciate this POV. :) The fact is that you think you have analyzed Raja's music from all angles and something new comes up :)
beautiful job, Jai.
I treated my senses to the 80s IR jewel couple of more times.
love, vinatha.
Didn't realize Mounamana Neram had such depth and thinking behind it, especially the association with primary characters. Thanks Jai for your post.
App - The scene you mentioned is my most favorite part in that song. Beautifully picturized song that did full justice to the music.
In the director-40 video I saw IR too picking out this song when he addresses the Telugu directors (and what a nice response from them also - getting up, acknowledging the praises etc, showing nice honor to IR).

Once Again Hungarian Musicians
For a music lover, using Hungarian musicians may be a feast, but i doubt the market success of such a venture. Let us hope this movie breaks the jinx. This is the only high profile movie that IR has got in recent times.
Folks,
Why are we bothering about High/Low-profile movies. Didn't he give his best in the 80's(still he is)with all the crappyness around? Let him use musicians from Hungary or from India. For me what matters is the output and his recent works are emotionally overwhelming. Lack of original musicians in India is worrying factor for the people who use them ,Isn't?
fan_ir,
Very true. When you get some great musicians from Hungary or whatever, will that not solve the 'synthesizer' problem which everyone cribs about. And as a_e mentions, this movie can hardly be called high profile. And btw, a_e, even 'Paa' had musicians from Hungary and the music was lovely and well appreciated by everyone.

"However, Ilaiyaraaja is scoring the music for the film"
This site converts the rumour to news. It reminds me of the vadivelu joke "maapillai velli sombu kuduthadhan thaali kattuvaaram" :)
thanks,

Vijay as VandiyathEvan!!! Enna Kodulai saar idhu?
This fellow can't speak any dialect of Tamil, forget chaste Tamil! Can't pronounce half the alphabets, and like some of his colleagues, can't differentiate between ல and ள, ன and ண! The legendary creator of this classic, 'Kalki' will turn over in his grave!
Names like பழுவேட்டரையர், வடதிசை மாதண்ட நாயகர் will be butchered! Sample this... "பலு வேட்ராயர் ங்ணா, டும்பன்காரி என்ன சொல்றாங்கண்ணா"!
At least one would imagine someone like Surya (with some intense Tamil training from his dad) fitting the bill to a certain extent!
I hope these rumours remain rumours!
SVN,
Agree with you on vijay. I never managed to complete the first chapter of PS. never learnt tamizh formally and hence PS was too much for me.
Back to the topic. I really doubt if Maniratam would be the right choice to direct this movie. we all know his knowledge of Tamizh. He might be able to bring
in the actors and the producers but i doubt if he can really make an authentic tamizh periodic movie. Maybe someone else would write the script and dialogues.. but still..
If MR makes this movie the way he usually makes ... then its better he doesnt touch PS..... i hope he doesnt make a Raavanan out of PS.
I can think of Kamalhasan as an apt director to make PS.
my half cents :) !!!
Regards,
Ravi

Can Sureshji or anyone else translate as to what is being spoken here ??
Ilayaraja back in Mani Rathnam’s camp
Feb 16, 2011
Mani Rathnam’s period flick, adapted from the popular novel Ponniyin Selvan, is soon to start rolling. The announcement of this project itself has stirred a lot of interest among the movie buffs particularly regarding the lead cast and the crew.
Music has played a pivotal role in all of Mani Rathnam’s films and there were a lot of speculations on who will score the music for this movie. With AR Rahman busy concentrating in international projects, Mani seems to have decided to revert his attention to his yet another favorite music composer Ilayaraja. It now looks like the maestro will compose the music for his historical extravaganza.
The truth is that the news about Ponniyin Selvan movie has more twists and turns that the actual Ponniyin Selvan of Kalki :) I am not believing anything until the film actually goes to the floors.
Sometime back I started a thread in TF section on PS. There were some objections initially as to "do we need a thread simply based on a rumor" etc (as if all threads were discussing only "matter of facts").
In any case, that's still active - initially some of us discussed about the story / who will fit what role etc, nowadays, it's primarily discussing such suspenses :-) As suspenseful as TN election koottaNi discussions :-)
IMO, IR working with MR is definitely welcome (the track record is simply too good to ignore).
The "lakh-crore" question is whether it will happen? (smaller amounts have become meaningless thanks to auditor general's office)
I hope its not IR
