IR's New albums - Ver 2008/2009

CRV,

The Trailer clearly says 'Original score by Ilaiyaraaja' I doubt anybody else will be involved in the music score. I had my doubts while seeing another man teaching the kid to sing in the Behind the scenes video, but that could be someone like our own Late. Sundarajan who teaches the song/tune to the singers.
BTW When Raaja composes for the manikantan Geet Mala, the Promotional Bhajan and the original score of the film why do we need to doubt that somebody else will compose for the songs and trailer?!! The grand Trailer music definitely have the stamp of Raaja :notworthy:

I saw Maestro's name in the movie titles as Original Score. Thats why I had a doubt if he will compose songs also. Because when they show another MD, I think they credit him for title song. The song was more like a Kerala traditional song. I will check the video again at home.

CRV,

I saw the videos again and still believe in what I say. I think the team in the studio is matching video & audio and it seems like composing. but still hmmm... Ur point is also valid. Lets wait :|

OTOH the only instance when he scored only BGM where another MD composed the songs (One song was done by Raaja) was for 'Lajja'. Even for 'Heyram' He refused to score only BGM.

I think it is because of 2D animation instead of 3D... But the forest frames at the end looks cool and they are in 3D.

As Judge Says both are different types of Aniamtion. While I dont know how you perceive it, Having worked in the animation industry for few years I know the difference! only in 'manikantan' we have cracked open the nutshell and shown the world what a 2D animation from India would be. No 2D movie which I had seen earlier was this detailed and good to compete internationally.
We have a long way to go for 3D animation movies. 'Sultan' - atleast the trailer was mockery on 3D animation movies coming out from elsewhere in the world. The sets/props and the animation itself was not upto the mark. May be the End product would be different :huh: but looking from the trailer 'Manikantan' Beats 'Sultan' by miles. Take out the Superstar factor from Sultan and you will know the difference

Oneway its better to give a World class 2D movie than an amateurish 3D movie. Otherway its good to attempt a 3D movie cos we should keep failing and learn from mistakes :) Iam just happy for that 'Manikantan' is going to be a success story :D
.

RS,

Thanks for the postings. The trailer music is terrific and I am sure it must be Raja.

I like the MGM album as well. I want to post a detailed review but currently short strapped for time. Will do that soon.

Hope this movie is a big success. The trailer does look enticing. BTW, when is the movie scheduled to be released.

Thumburu / Usha,

See the trailer that RS has uploaded. An enticing Reethigowla at the end. Very brief one.
