தேவா 450 படங்களுக்கு இசை அமைத்தது எப்படி என்று அவருடைய சகோதரர்கள் இங்கே சொல்கிறார்கள். அதில் சபேஷ் 1984-1990 வரை ராஜா சாருடன் அக்னி நட்சத்திரம், சத்யா போன்ற படங்களில் வேலை செய்து இருக்கிறார். சங்கர் கணேஷ் கூட ஆயிரத்து நூறுக்கும் மேற்பட்ட படங்களுக்கு எப்படி வேலையை பகிர்ந்து கொண்டு செய்தார்கள் என்று ஜெயா டிவியில் திரும்பி பார்கிறேன் நிகழ்ச்சியில் சொன்னார். ஆனால் அத்தனை படங்களில் வேலை செய்தாலும், விரல் விட்டு என்ன கூடிய அளவில் தான் அவர்களால் ஹிட் பாடல்களை குடுக்க முடிந்தது. இன்னமும் தொழில் செய்து கொண்டிருந்தாலும், யாரோ போட்ட ரோட்டில் தான் வண்டியை ஒட்டி கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். கற்று கொண்ட அனுபவத்தில் தங்களுக்கென்று ஒரு பாதையை அவர்களால் அமைத்து கொள்ள முடியவில்லை.


ஆனால் ராஜா சார் .... fill up the blanks :-)

I generally dont like this kind of comparison . By doing this comparison - you are inadvertently putting Raaja on the same level as anyone who could have played keyboard or guitar - And succeeding on cinefield - giving hits - idhellaam - periya vishayam illai.
Sabesh and murali have greatly contributed to Deva's success as MD and particularly in BGMs their BGMs in Nerukku Ner, Aahaa and a lot of later movies was very good. Not all have the same fate or desire to succeed madly.. Prolly they were content to see "Brand Deva" succeed and which it did handsomely.

rajaramsgi,

I will agree with Jai here. The comparison was probably not required at all. They are doing their job and they themselves will probably know they cannot reach Raja levels. So why make that explicit!!! I understand where you are coming from but I feel that it a bit harsh on these guys.

And interestingly, Danny Boyle is the architect behind the opening ceremony.

viLaiyAttu reference, may be (sadu gudu)...

I think the strong "pulam peyarndha eezhaththamizhar" population in London / UK (or in EU in general / Canada) has brought Thamizh into some focus in olympics!

I saw an official olympic "welcome" video on youtube yesterday, that starts with 'vaNakkam' by a Thamizh child :-) (Followed by greeting in a ton of other languages; there's another pulam peyarndha thamizhar who says a sentence in Thamizh in that video as well).

Also, the famous singer M.I.A. of UK is of eezham origin who gets connected with such events. (She was on superbowl with Madonna ; it's very much possible that she knows a lot of TFM ; she worked with ARR for SDM)

unga characteraye ennaala purinjukka mudila.
orukkaa - ellaathayum oru kai paathuruvom back out aavadheengannu Mamta to Abdul Kalam(Motte dhaasan - enna oru paeru?) maadhiri pesareenga, innorukkaa "vitrunga saamee" apdeennu solreenga.. what is the matter boss?

adhuvaa? thats because I realized it was inappropriate to bring Raja sir into that conversation.

I meant to make a point that some one working in 100s of movies - means NOTHING. I have no idea how SG managed to sustain upto 1100 movies or even Deva upto 450 when they all are no way close to Raja's or MSV's calibre. Sheer luck can take people to any heights, right?
