" Q: Tell us about the music in the film…
A: I am not that a great personality to talk about music. At the same time, the film has music from a maestro like Illayaraja. Already the audio was proved to be a big hit and we had already celebrated the platinum disc function. The re-recording of the film could be another major asset for the success of the movie."
How do they "count" to award platinum disc nowadays?...
app_engine,
Platinum disk = 1 lakh albums have been sold.
In Bangalore , when I queried Music world about "Anumanaaspadam", they told me whatever stocks they had got sold out, whereas in the Landmark forum, they seem to be unaware of its existence ??? Edhu unmaiyo??
i would think Music World is more reliable
Guys in Landmark Blr are the dumbest I've seen. When I went enquiring for Bach's Brandenburg concertos they 'searched' their online catalog and said it isn't avbl. I said I will search myself and did a lookup, and it was right there. In all probability it would be present in LM, but the guys there are imbeciles.
Read this news in thatstamil.com
Cheran is making his Mayakannadi with utmost care resulting in a slow progress. IR's re-recording and songs have come out excellent and Cheran is very happy about it.
So guys, don't expect Mayakannadi for another 2 months..may be released along with Shivaji..and if that is so, once again IR's songs will go less noticed in the noise Shivaji release creates :(
Has anyone seen Anumanaspadam?
Most of the telugu websites are giving a rating of not more than 3/5.
One thing which is heartening to note is that the re-recording has been highly appreciated ( but has been overshadowed in some reviews by cinematography).. Well, i have also read that the cinematography has been amateurish in some cases where the viewer can notice equipment wires dangling in the frames!
I've started liking `kuyilAlO' more now...(than my initial listening)...After reading somewhere that it's remake of `khajurAhO' from Fazil's recent disaster, I listened to 'khajurAhO'...It's a nice song...(sweet orchestration)...IMHO Hariharan is pathetic though...after the jubilant "dhirana dheemthanA", why he kills the "keerthana" like an azhumoonji?
An after thought...did anyone feel that `khajurAhO' itself is inspired by the Raja classic `thavikkudhu, thayangudhu oru manasu' here and there?
my 2 cents:
anumaanaspadam - the only good song is the tamil rehash song -"mayanguriral oru maadhu".
All songs can be poured down the drain as they just remind me of the same tunes again and again.
Also, the synth is sometimes very jarring.......... Even the tamil version is a much better than this Telugu one....
IR IR IR - where are you ? Why are you trying to mimic others by going for synth. Please produce ur old style melodies as that is the reason why we have been steadfast lovers of ur music for decades.
I just hope the movie will be good and despite not knowing Telugu, I am going to watch the movie just for IR and Vamsi ! Hopefully, it stands up to the best thriller Anveshana !
Vem,
It is "Mayanginen solla thayanginen..." , not mayangugiraal oru maadhu, this song is from a old movie i think Paasa malar :)
What is happening to tfmpage.com ? Frequently the site is down, particularly during the weekends ! Admin, what is happening ?
Anumanaspadam video songs...
http://cinefolks.com/telugu/VideoSon...numaanaspadam/
"Raa Raa Gumma" sounds kinda of different in the film, in IR's voice.
the picturisation for "Raa Raa" SUCKS bigtime! it is so bereft of aesthetics! sagikkavillai
so does "Ninuvethiki" - uggh!
Good that Naser is back with a Movie "Historical" and IR is going to give music.
Hope we shall expect everlasting melodies like "Thendral Vanthu Theendumpothu", etc.....
I now feel that I would be rather happy if IR retires than suffering this loooong wait for his each and every next album
:(
It has been more than a year since we had a proper tamil album of IR..
Will Mayakannadi be worth this long wait ?? Do you think Cheran has good music sense to extract tunes from IR.. ? I really doubt !
>>Do you think Cheran has good music sense to extract tunes from IR<<
May be not. However, there's some hope that this is Panju Arunachalam's family production...Raja has always done decent work for them...
Anumanaspadam is worth a watch

It is evident from the title that Telugu film Anumanaspadam is a suspense thriller. Set in the wild woods, it is not exactly an edge-of-the-seat thriller but it keeps the audience engrossed. The credit for this goes to director Vamsi.
Based on the life of sandalwood smuggler Veerapan, the film opens with gun shots and police cordoning the area located in a dense forest. There is a body lying on the floor and the protagonist Basavaraju Surya, aka Basu, who is a television reporter, reporting the news. The body in question is that of Veerappan. The scribes pack up and are returning when a person asks them a lift to the city. He is an investigative journalist, who spent nine months in the forest gathering information about the brigand and passing it on to the cops.
According to the script, Veerappan has stashed away his loot in the forest and this man knows the place. However, the van meets with an accident and the journalist hands over the material to Basu. Now, Basu wants to go in search of the loot but needs a team to accompany him.
He enlists the help of his best friend, a landmine detector, bomb diffuser, a doctor, a cook, a guide, a driver and a financier.
This motley group then overcome several obstacles that are miraculously cleared for them, and finally finds the loot.
The film is well structured and maintains the tempo thanks to a combination of a clever story, good direction and scintillating music. Maestro Illayaraja and Vamsi come together after Anveshana. The superbly composed songs add romance to the splendid landscape captured magnificently by cameraman Vinda.
There are quite a few episodes that are very hilarious like the one in a village where the entire men folk sport Veerappan moustaches. The songs are choreographed skillfully and full marks to Vamsi for this.
Convincing performances by the new cast make the film enjoyable.

I am not sure if you guys know...but after the film was launched raja is taking care of the situations he will compose for..thats mean like azhagi film he will be choosing the situations to compose and deriving the tunes from there...so theres no involvement from cheran here :DQuote:

I have a gut feeling that "Maayakannadi" album is gonna rock!
I have a gut feeling that it is never gonna be released :-(
However, I am expecting a good effort from Raja on this album.
What happened to the movie Kalaignar???? Is it gonna released?
FYI, MK is gonna release on April 14. ( i seen Ads in the dailies)Quote:

It is Cheran Vs Rajni !
http://indiainteracts.com/gossip/200...Vs-Rajnikanth/
For us, it is IR Vs ARR ? :)
Raja fan - when is the audio of Mayakkannadi to be released ? it should happen at least a month before the actual release of the movie ? I have heard from a reliable source that it is an experimental album by IR!
Shankar is known for releasing the audio 90 days before the movie release date. Not sure if he change his standard for Rajini. Going by that, if he follows his usual dates etc, I dont see Sivaji coming out on Apr 12th. Lets see........Quote:

"This world is like a magical mirror and all the images that appear are illusionary", utters Cheran philosophically. "Can another MGR, Sivaji, and Rajini be created? The movie will answer that question in a lighter vein", states Cheran adding "'Maaya Kannadi' will be a role model movie which people and my fans can look up to". - Cheran
I wonder if 10A and Naan Kadavul will comout at the same time :)
In Coffee with anu
Anu: If you have to attribute your success to one person who that would be?
Malaysia: Ilayaraja
Anu: Who is your favorite music director?
Srilekha Parthasarathi: I didnt sing for him yet. Ilayaraja.
Watched MK trailer in Vijay TV. It is not a trailer..just a slide show of Cheran and Navya !
The accompanying BGM was a nice WCM Violin piece sounding like the classical pieces that come in old English movies ( sometimes in Charlie Chaplin silent movies ).
It ended with "Viraivil.."
Hip Hip Hooray! "Mumbai Xpress" reviewed by a popular progressive music website "Sea of Tranquility"!

enjoy! way to go IR!
I remember the bad reviews Mumbai Express received from some of our own fans claiming it to be IR turning into the dark side("westernised") when it was IR's favourite western forte of jazz. When we ourselves could not appreciate one of the best albums he has given us in decades how do we expect him to give us good and original songs nowadays. :x

Ilayaraja: Ilayarajas Music Journey
Why ReR sent us this CD to review is a mystery. It isn't progressive, rock, metal or fusion - the genres we focus on here at Sea Of Tranquility. It is pure Indian music, characterized by sitar and percussion and those lilting, challenging melodies. Still - good music is abundant in every genre, and for those of us Westerners unfamiliar with the style, this one is actually refreshing and interesting. And it revives teenage memories of a bunch of us, bored in boarding school, sitting in a circle around a batch of burning jos sticks and zoning out to Ravi Shankar - quite convinced we were the coolest thing since the Beatles.
Calling himself 'Maestro Ilaiyaraaja', Ilaiyaraaja Raaja is something of a legend in his native India having composed more than 5,000 songs and scored over 800 Bollywood movies in various Indian languages. that may sound conceited, but let's face it - he is number 48 in the world's top-selling artists (behind celebrities like Elvis, The, Beatles and Led Zeppelin.)
Ilaiyaraaja's Music Journey was recorded live at the "14th annual Angelica, Festival Internatzionale di Musica & l'Altro Suono" in Modena, Italy, in 2004. It's a sort of 'unplugged with a live orchestra' performance, and it's interesting to hear the artist's lighthearted interaction with the audience in English while an interpreter translates into Italian.
The title track starts off with a sort of lullaby, then we're taken on a fascinating 10-minute walk through cultural Indian songs and traditions - with verbal descriptions and brief excerpts of the songs that convey the message musically. On many tracks Ilaiyaraaja is backed up by very pretty high-pitched female vocals - sung in the same Indian style, of course - and "Ilankathu" is a duet that sounds like a love song with 2 people singing to each other - and is a standout track (at least - from this ignorant Westerner's point of view). "Three In One" is a fun piece, introduced as a composition with just 3 notes. He actually cheats and uses a half-note here and there, and he goes up an octave as well - which robs the original idea of a song in three notes. Still, it's an interesting idea showing that that melody has as much to do with rhythm and cadence as with a selection of notes. The song selection cover various sub-genres including carnatic, hindustani, devotional, and others that will challenge your spell-checker.
Besides being proficient in a variety of Indian instruments Ilayaraja is well trained in classical guitar, and judging by the performance on this record, he has a good grasp of how to sway a western audience. So considering the genre, there's a surprising variety of sounds from track to track.
This record is different, fun, and as the title suggests, a real musical journey.

New initiative: En Paiyar Enna
Directior Arpudan had made an attempt to highlight about the social soreness in his short film named as “En Paiyar Enna”, in this film Master Kishore is featuring in lead role. Director Arpudan, is known from earlier films like Mandodu Malzli kalam & Arpudam. But this film has some thing special from his previous films.
In a simple function of the this film’s CD release held at South Indian film chamber, in the presence of Rajathi Amma ( Dr.Karunanidhi’s Wife ) released the film C.D and it was received by Dashto Indra rani wife of Malaysian minister. After seeing the film Indra outlined the performance of Master Kishore kumar’s acting and she assured Kishore in lending assistance regarding making of the film. At the same time he pointed out Govt to undertake the welfare of orphans in larger scale to completely annihilate this kind of menace from the society.
The outline of the story is simple enough to understand by common people, an orphan child how is striving to get into studies and how far he succeed in this race is crux of the story. Master Kishore succeeds in doing the character which assigned to him, after seeing the film Director Bala, was convinced to give a role to Kishore kumar in his forthcoming film “Naan kadavul”. Apart from that many old hands appreciated both director and master Kishore kumar for their valid contribution to the society. Interesting news about this film his there is no Dialogue, Music scored by Illayaraja was played a pivot play in filling the Dialogue column.
Yes - It is blocked .Ur point is too valid .So what do we do ?
Can you post it in some other thread ?
Thanks !
