So Thundu Bhai's songs are not worth for the money (I mean 1 crore)? If he reduces his charge, that will imply that he is losing his ground.
I don't believe that his statemetns are misquoted in The Hindu. He gave the same opinions to Ananta vikatan too. He just wants to say that he is better than all these new comers. Commercially he is a gone case in Tamil. Slowly the same trend is happening in HFM too,BOIndia site's prove that.

Why r u getting MAD at me, while i have to appreciate the fact for long posts, owing to many pages, usually the points are getting diluted.. it is frustrating to traverse many pages..
Secondly, i did not pin-point you.. i was generally telling LOOOOONG POSTS
I don't need to be a prez to tell this.. please see it for yourself.
vijay- just out of curiosity...what do you do ?? you seem to have too much energy and time considering the fact that you have been on TFMpage for a really long time :-))
I think both observer and Vijay have valid points. The points made by Jaiganesh is correct as well. I can't speak for others but the music for Samy, Dhool, Gilli, Kovil were excellent. I enjoyed them. I don't care what ARR is doing in other markets but in Tamil nowadays, most of the songs I hear is from YSR, HJ, VS and others. You can't expect people to not listen to music just because there's no major trend-maker since ARR. The new composers have adapted themselves very well to the film industry at the moment. The film music is to serve the cinema industry. I liked ARR for his Tamil film music. Just because ARR feels that the Tamil music industry is not going where he feels it should be, I can't stop from listening to Tamil music. The music for 4 Students by a new composer is nice.
Hi
I apologize for sounding rude to MusicIsLife. My points apply if and only if ARR is planning to regain ground in Tamil music Industry! If that is not his serious intention, then So Be It. Fact to bring to Shri. Nattamais notice is that TFM market has eroded over a period of time. Audio piracy is a killer and for any MD, be it IR, YSR, HJ or anyone to retain a good fees, piracy has to be killed. I could spot so many mp3 CDs of all recent releases in a music shop and people prefer that only. People may argue by saying that mp3's dont last as long as a legally recorded Audio CD, but sorry to say that the songs themselves don't last till the time the mp3 CD starts to wear. In fact my friends in Music world Bangalore say that all 'legends' albums are moving faster than new releases.
Thanks,
Jaiganesh
Jaiganesh,
That is OK. If only recent MD's made everlasting melodies, or all stalwarts made melodies, that could be heard over and over again, this trend will not change!!..

MIL,
How would you know if a song which has just released will be everlasting or not? You would need psychic powers to do that. Also if anyone can do this, maybe the music directors could employ them. If a song would not become everlasting, why release them at all?
And while at it, what exactly do you mean ever lasting? And why should only melodies be everlasting? Yaaradi nee mohini was not a melody, but we still hear it and like it right? Ye aatha aathorama vaariya is not a melody, pettai rap is not a melody...
I was just listening to songs from Desam. What a pleasant surprise. If this music is not a hit with tamil masses, so be it. Good work by ARR.
Dude,
I was not talking about a newly released song, I was just talking on the Trend.. dont pounce on me.. coz for ex if a song just got hit by somekind of craze not by the real worth!! of it, it just becomes a way of trend to follow.. Seriously, dont u get bored to turn on to Sun-Tv programs (more than bored, frustrated) to listen to crappy song, just diluting some good ones out there!!
That is what i mentioned about, probably Everlasting was a wrong word, i do take it back.. probably "likeable" a softer overtone wiould be good, so once in a while, if we get to hear, we dont cringe. ne ways.. suddenly sure.. i have become a looooong poster, let me stop it here!!
I somehow stick to some good ol' melodies, though i come upon hearing some new ones, which are good. Basically i was referring to more towards the trend or the individual MD output!!
I will stop it here, coz, it is disgressing too much on ones opinions.. let us stick to the topic
