Madhu review
http://us.rediff.com/movies/2006/may/19maadhu.htm
on the film's music...
"Adding to this is Illayaraja's music, a rehash of his music from the 70s (for such a subject, the maestro has given what it deserves). "
Cinesouth said IR's music is the sole saving grace for the whole film. mixed reviews most probably...galatta.com mentions the songs were too slow paced but the background music was excellent.

Quote:
Q: Normally many singers touch the feet of Music Directors when ever they meet. What do you think about such show of respect?
A: By the time I joined the industry that trend had changed. I did not meet any music director who insisted that we touch his feet and now it does not exist any longer. Everybody is on friendly terms with each other. Such things we should feel like doing then only will it be of any value. But I never had to face any such situation where it was like I won’t be given an opportunity to sing if I don’t touch the music director’s feet. Keeravani garu, Ramana Gogula garu or Krishna Reddy garu none of them asked for such show of respect. But I, on my own touched Ilayraja garu’s feet when I met him for the first time. Whether or not he gave me a chance to sing it was enough to just see him. I respect him that much.
Q: Who is your favorite music director? In whose composition do you feel you should sing at least one song?
A: It was my life ambition to sing an Ilayraja composition, to work for Bapu and Viswanath films. And I have achieved all three. Ilayraja introduced me to both the Tamil and Kannada Industries and in Telugu I sang for ‘Sivaputhrudu’ movie, of his composition.

IR refuses to sing under Srikanth deva?
http://epaper.tamilmurasu.in/2006/may/21/10_4.jpg
No way Raja would have done that. Srikanth Deva shamefully lifted Tiruvasagam music pieces as a BGM in the sub-standard movie Bambarakannaley.
