RS,
I would love to see GM working with Raja for a rather serious movie involving human relations (i firmly believe this guy will beat the master of human relations - mani ratnam in his own game). An effort like pallavi-anupallavi/mouna ragam directed by GM scored by Raja would be interesting.
All said, I dont think he will work with Raja.
I am not so sure. Initially, ARR mentioned he follows or does world/pop music. He even has somebody 'arrange' the strings for his songs. He mentioned what is the point in using so many instruments when you cannot get the emotions right. Agreed. Then all of sudden, I see him conducting the Birmingham orchestra. So does ARR feel, world/pop music can only go so much ? Maybe, he thinks he has to do WCM because already call him, Mozart of Madras ?Quote:

But this stance is what I feel is watering down and changing. The fact is in both these cases, however different the approach is, both IR and ARR have been able to successfully dethrone their predecessor from the commercial top spot.

Call him anything...but why Mozart or for that matter any WCM Gods like debussy, brahms or Palestrina ?!?!?! He has a long way to go when it comes to handling WClassical style compositions...I liked the arrangement of lagaan theme, but to my dismay I read it was arranged and conducted by Guitar Prasanna :-(

Still I feel that Raaja could give some new tunes in every film, whereas others are failing in this aspect.
In one interview, S J Surya like ilayaraaja & "en iniya pon nilavae" song, but still he is not using him.
Once in Interview, director Mahendran said, Mullum Malarum producer saw the film b4 re-recording & said to mahendran, "poochu.... en panamellam poochu..... ennaiyyaa padam idhu, vasaname illaame, oomai padamaatta irukku".
Also, earlier producer insisted not to make rajini as a hero as at that time he is a villain.
But mahendran thought that ilayaraaja will talk using his instruments. Also that is happened & film is a super dooper hit.
Thats Raaja. :thumbsup:
If u need ur good film to get a long standing, use ILaiyaraaja. One of the eg., Mudhal mariyaadhai. Or else leave it. 8-)
Do we have anything new to talk about other than vintage stuff of IR? Gautham Menon and SJ Surya are smart cookies. They would rather use Harris or Deva because they know the trade and current taste of fans. Fans didn't listen to Thyagaraja Bhagavathar in 60s, and MSV in later 70s and 80s and IR in the 90s. Now AR Rahman facing his own now. Life goes on. If IR comes to reality and accepts that he has to do music for the people's satisfaction rather than his own no one other than Mishkin and Bala would hire him. Something changed in IR after 1993 where he was eclipsed fair and square by a young MD with a unique style. IRs ego still couldn't accept the defeat in turn he turned against his faithful fans. Whatever he talks about current music noisy is sour graping.
Mr.Vyasar,
"Life goes on. If IR comes to reality and accepts that he has to do music for the people's satisfaction rather than his own no one other than Mishkin and Bala would hire him"
It is enough for us( IR fans ) if he works with only a set of directors.
What do you mean by people's satisfaction ?
Are you blind to the fact that people are going in search of Raja's old eighties songs and recording them in CDs ( when songs just 3 months old are forgotten these days ) ?
Yes, life goes on ! but creations which came straight from the heart stay always ! Like the Taj Mahal and Madurai temple and IR's music. Thing of beauty is joy for ever !!
