thiruvasakam in symphony

vijayr, there is no point you and me discussing this further. I guess we have done what we can given our buying capacity and gifting capacity. I also guess we have put our views in enough detail. Lets bury it.On the whole, "pitham thelinja sari" for the affected parties.

I just want to put one thing - I dont worry about fans who want to sue IR. If they think IR has cheated TM and it bothers them, I WISH THEY SUED IR. Proof of pudding...

njv, just for argument, oru padathukku 25 Lakhs vaanginalum, avaru buvva, petrol idhukku ellaam selavu pannanum. Tax kattanum. Adhu poga micham dhaan projects-la invest panna mudiyum ;-).

okay, lets say he does 10 movies in a month, to make up 2.5 crore. Thats not my point. my point is IR did dedicate himself on this for 2+ years and i cant believe he did this for the money. may be he wanted to cheat Fr than making money. I can believe that, but it cant be the other way around.

All MDs pay came recently and triggered the tax dept to raid their house. Here is the list

ARR - 90
HJ - 80
YSR - 50
VS - 40
Bhardwaj - 30
IR - 25 (for the last decade)

Rest of them make between 10 to 30.

6 Lakhs... hmmm may be TV serial MDs might be making that.

njv: point taken. We can only keep speculating. Majority opinion here is that IR's past record (as indicated by articles across the web)indicates that he is well capable of cheating and Fr.'s past record implies he wouldnt cheat. I dont know what aspect of IR's past record made them conclude that way - I havent heard of any dishonest financial transactions by IR.
You've got to be media-savvy. Otherwise, indha maadhiri samyathula you will be hung without a trial.

btw,
"may be he wanted to cheat Fr than making money"
idhukku enna artham?

I think IR has been cunning and business minded. This cannot be equated to cheating. Ofcourse its unfortunate that a person who potrays himself to be seeking divinity is business minded too.

I find the whole thing absolutely murky - if we go by what Fr.Jegath says, then it is inexplicable as to why IR turned down a name like SONY, which would have fetched popularity, marketing and a definite sales figures several light years further ahead than what has been achieved with Welgate!

All along, most of us were under the belief that Sony and other companies had turned down the offer and that is why Welgate was roped in - but after reading Fr.Jegath's letter, I am stumped!

if it was to make money only, all that IR would/could have done, is release an absolutely modern sounding album with Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam, Shaan etc and got the same released big time - for IR's calibre, composing such an album would have taken less than a day's time!

therefore, money here is not the objective - definitely, IR's desire for creative ventures, has always been burning and this is the prime motivating factor

but, getting some non-descript company like Welgate release this, while a big name like SONY had already agreed to release the same, makes me wonder, if this has to do with the weird eccentricities of a classic GEMINI (zodiac sign), which IR is!

Madhan,
I agree with most of ur arguments except the one above....I have never seen Raja come up with an album in recent times, which could appeal the masses such as "machan pEru madhurE..." (VS) or "thirunelveli halwada.." (HJ) or songs from the albums released by ppl like amit sana / abhijeet sawant...Pls note that I am NOT saying they are GREAT compositions...Its just that Raja CANNOT / WUD NOT come out with such an album.

I have never listened to any recent album of Raja which sounds modern. ONOK, COA all of the suck big time (kAtril varum geethamE is a good song....But definitely not a great one...We expect more than this from Raja)

I too thot SONY had turned down the offer....I am not going to comment / take sides until we have concrete evidence for the accusation.

Shankar, hmm, sigh! how I long for something like "adiye" (Neengal kettavai) from IR !
