Atrocious :evil:
Times of India is the No : 1 daily in West / North India and has a giant reach . Such a paper not even mentioning a single word about music is something disgusting .
Let them cover the theme and the lead *casting but why total blackout on music ! :shock:
If Himesh or ARR had done the composing, they would have blown heavy trumpheting .

Thoroughly disappointing...!
There are hardly any songs in the movie. No wonder... no one is talking about music in their reviews.
This is the thing that is always happening for poor IR :(
Particularly, the people who claim to be his great fans do this. That is more hurting..
Kamalhassan did this in his Virumandi, MX etc..
Bala did it in Pithamagan..
Now Balki !
Really hurting :(
guys
IR should stipulate a condition to directors that all his songs (atleast some) be played in the movie.
mumbai Xpress was a complete disappointment to me in this regard. The movie is a crap and that movie showed the in-coherence in film making of the well known and renowned singeetham. I wonder how the heck could he make such a crap movie. The movie is illogical and completely boring after a point with some stupid jokes. It could have been saved with some good jokes - but, to add insut to injury, IR's music was also pathetic.
Virumandi - another worst movie with very bad screen play. IR's tunes were excellent and rustic - but Kamal raped these songs by either showing them in bits and pieces or just neglecting them completely. Hey Ram and Virumandi pretty much show that Kamal is a complete tyro in art of directing and he needs to grow up in that regard.
Shiva - another major disaster for IR as a few good songs were neglected by our Indian spooky director RGV. This movie spoilt the pure IR tunes "Saara ye aalam" with some vulgar and obscene sequences by the heroine.
And now Cheeni Kum.... Balki's interviews suggest that he is a veteran of more than 100 movies in his kitty. Well ! If he is not concerned with IR's tunes, he could have atleast chosen a budding MD instead of IR. May be IR is very cheap :) money wise.
IR should quit the film industry as the current generation directors talk big about him before making the movie and completely fail him down in the actual movie.
@Nakeeran,
I don't think it's reviewer's fault. As I mentioned earlier, you can hardly notice any music in this film.
It's a pity that "Vaishnav jan ko" gets more screen time than any of the actual songs.
If I weren't an IR fan, I wouldn't have noticed anything extra ordinary with music either. Director has butchered the music to that extent.
@Hulkster,
may be what you said is true. But the end result of that - no one is going to notice IR's work in the film. Well, Balki could have at least continued the title track "cheeni kum" beyond 10 seconds.
Just 2 lines of that song? Come on!
I was waiting for it to go beyond the words "cheeni kum hai cheeni kum hai"... But no!
Songs last longer in promos, than in the film.
With a fan like Balki, IR doesn't need any distractors.
Teja
For the northies, the tunes are all new and fresh. & they have been well re-orchestrated .
It should be pleasing to their ears too no ?
Seems like the waves of current crop of guys like HR / Ismail D etc have changed the trend totally. I bet, if it had been such guys, the promo campaign would have been totally diff.

Your post is characterized by bad grammar, blind vitriol and abysmal intellect - idhellam correct pannunga first
Thank you :notworthy:
I still have yet to download the xvid torrent (waiting for it)
Balki stated in his interviews that he wanted Raja's tune to fit the background situation. In fact, the reason that Shiva didn't work was the picturization for a RGV film! That and Ramu choose bad Raja tunes to remake.
From MX's audio release, every Kamal knew that MX is nothing by a BGM movie. Granted, Pyar Chahiye/Poo Pothadhu was the only picturized song (the same thing follows for CK folks!) Aila Re/Yeli Adithapa po, Bandar Ki Dugi/Kuzhanda Kayil Malai and Monkey Chatter/Anthem were nothing but BGM and that's fine.
If the film's story is the USP of the film then you would want the songs to not steer you in another direction. Directors are targeting the viewer to understand the story not have part I of story then song 1 then part II of story followed by another song, etc.
Yes I know Raja's a genius in composing but again, Balki's done justice to the songs (read Jaane Do Na/Title Song). The cinema we knew then is slowly going away from us.
mr crajkumar
i assume u to be a kamal fan. i am sorry if i offended u in any ways. i just expressed my opinion that i just couldnt stand watching Virumandi and Mxpress.
If you are upset with my English/other aspects, I dont give a rats ass abt that. U, being a grown up, and technically English speaking big shot should stop visiting such public threads for your own good. come out of ur narrow minded world !
:rotfl: Thanks for proving me right :lol2:Quote:

All I could see from Google News snapshot is
"Vidya Balan may step in the project instead of Rai. 'Pa' will have musical notes from Ilaiyaraaja, who is being appreciated for his work in 'Cheeni Kum'"
thanks,
