Y did Mahendran Stop making movies until 2006? and y does he not direct often? :?: any idea?

Mods, please take out the "guest" part from the title of this thread and make it exclusive to Mahendran in TF section...I couldn't find another, neither it's listed in RR's list in the FAQ thread on top...
I've seen all three now :-) Great movies! MM & UP got their deserved spots in my "best ever 10", in the thread discussing that topic:-)Quote:

tan Q very much.
Awesome film maker and what an impressive collaborator for raasappu.
Many directors have worked with raasappu to get super hit songs, but very few have managed to
get songs from raasappu that makes the listener feel the earth slip out of his/her feet. Mahendran saar,
no matter what later day pundits say about his technique, undeniably and unequivocally was a master
in getting such songs out of our Maestro. The first Mahendran song that created such an effect on me was
this special gem sung by jency. The song had everything in it for a boy to not listen to it or become enamoured by it.
It was a female solo and for a lady who comes to terms with her feelings for a man. Before I can write about it.. Let me insert the
link here..

What a song? the beauty is not isolated in its technique or instrumentation or lyrics or singing - It is in the soul of the song.
It transcends the lyrics and presents the tickling in one's heart like one were holding a beautiful butterfly in the palms of their hands..
Years later the song leaves the same impression in my mind. Balu Mahendra, Mahendran and Shoba put their soul into the song to
make it all the more worthy. Royal salute due for Mahendran to have inspired Raasappu to give us this wonderful treasure.
Look, I am fine with Raaja, or Raja, or Raasa or Rasa even Rasaiyah, or plain IR. Raasappu ellam too much. It reminds me of tEnggApoo, I say :evil: Otherwise continue...:smile:
This Raasappu thing started with Nandalaala for me - but inspiration is Vadivelu who addressed "Prabhu" thus in "Raajakumaran". nemba irritationaa irundhaa korachukkaren..
God Bless sollikaren.
Sorry, but kinda distorts the flow of your excellent writing, ambuduthen, if others got no issue, then go ahead. :-D

Woke up early morning with adi penne playing in my mind..
Then I had the "whoa" moment ..
unlike most of the melodies before this song and later on in 90s, the charanam had a flow that you wouldnt call "free flowing" a term we almost award or burden most of Raaja's songs. The female voice is out of step with the mini-ludes with which raaja punctuates the song. It is like this the nature has a rhythm - the rivers flow quickly, the birds chirp briskly, but this girl is stuck - she is stuck in love - so when the mini ludes that answer the lead voice solo play, it plays in a regular speed while the girl is singing in a "trance" mode -slower than the surrounding rhythm - how can such a song be conceived and be popular with masses too? nowadays we are almost resigned to the marching/thumping dance floor beat in almost every song - even in slow paced melodies.. what prompted Raaja to do an experiment like this? probably the way Mahendran narrated the situation - the way he "inspired him"..
Jai, Excellent point of view. :clap: Neenga neenga thaan. Please continue.
