Yeah, Raja spoils his songs with hallow synth nowadays. Add "average recording feel" to them, they are his products. I think people who know this are afraid to explain to him :(

For Pithamagan also he used synths but recorded and mixed by better sound engineers (I think it was done by Yuvan's team, Thukkaram and some other guy). So I am expecting Naan Kadavul and Nandhalala both are recorded and mixed by some new good sound engineers (or atleast by Yuvan's team) instead of his regular Prasad studios team. If this wish is materialized, we can expect a better output. :D

Amaan Naan Raaja Fanatic thaan Aana Phone Pannavan, Romba naal munnadiyae Raaja ini Velaikku aaga maataarnnu sonnavan :evil: He discusses with me only the songs of Raaja from 80's or early 90's and he never intends to knows any new albums of Raaja unless it becomes a hit. Thats why when he called up, I instantly said it shud be a song from 80's :) When a person who has written off Raaja is excited It speaks volumes about the song. :)

RS,

Thanks. Now I get much confidence :)
But, sung by KJY...? :( That casts doubt on the song..It is high time for IR to give retirement to KJY..

Hardly agree to that Raja fan.Its sad that KJY is not being used the way he should have by mds including Isaignani.How much i wish the songs rendered by sonu nigam and hariharan from Oru naal oru kanavu were in KJYs voice in the usual FAZIL-AYYA tradition.Koncham thira would have wafted all over TN and Kerala.Just remember the brilliant Thanthana thanthana from THAVASI and AARAARIRAARO from RAAM.KJY has got a lot more to offer just like AYYA.

rajaalltheway,

KJY is one of those people in the field who unfortunately fail to realize that they are old aged now :(
Hear his voice in recent Mallu songs..like "Kaiyetthaa" from Vinodayatra..you will know how he has lost his golden voice..

High time people like Mano are utilized...last week i heard malayala karaioram...beautifully rendered by that guy and Raaja shd call back Mano and use him well...he is far more better than the others

While I agree with raja_fan about KJY, especially 'Kaiyeta', I did find his voice quite good in the other Malayalam movie, 'Sooryan', where he sang 'Manase Manase'. I do wish he was at his peak and had rendered the songs in 'Uliyin Osai'. I guess that is the secret of great singers like KJY and SPB. When they render it you don't say, "Wish someone else had rendered it" but I get this feeling when I hear many of the current lot.

<<<<<So I am expecting Naan Kadavul and Nandhalala both are recorded and mixed by some new good sound engineers (or atleast by Yuvan's team) instead of his regular Prasad studios team. If this wish is materialized, we can expect a better output>>>>
I too feel sound engineering definitely matters the most in Raja's songs these days. I was quite thrilled when i listened to the amazing sound clarity and depth in Cheenikum and Siva2006 songs... such an output is definitely missing in his regular prasad studio stuffs. ARR definitely stands a way ahead on this, as almost all his albums are engineered and delivered by none other than H.Sridhar.

I too will vote for 'better sound' :)) As Vkrish has pointed out the songs of Cheeni Kum and Shiva2006 sound much more modern though the tunes belong to the 80s !!! I am sure many of the recent songs of Raja would have got a better reception if sound engineering is better. This has been a mystery to me since even the latest kid on the block is able to get a very good level of sound quality.

VKrish, Sureshs65:

IR's recording was way above than others during 80s and early 90s. But somehow he lost it during the 90s, I don't think good recording is a big challenge because every second rate MDs are doing it right now. I wonder why IR doesn't take care of it even now. Just listen to the songs he sung for Yuvan (Nanda, Pattiayal, PV), and the songs he sings for his own projects/KR, there is a vast difference between them. Hope he should take care of it in the upcoming projects.

Director Mysskin came onto the Kalaignar TV morning programme couple of weeks back, he shared some news about Nandhalala and other general things:

* Nandhalala is a simple story and will be told in simple way
* lots of humour in the movie, everybody will enjoy it from grandmas to kids
* after he finished the script, he wrote down IR's name next to it, he said "Only IR can do justice to this script"
* he is acting in it after a few lead actors denied the role
* "you have changed your friend Sundar babu and gone to IR this time. won't he be angry?"
"no, after he listens to the songs, I am sure he will be happy that I've got good songs. my friend Kapilan has written one song in this movie and he asked a promise from me that whenever I work with IR, I should give him atleast one song"
* "tell us your experience working with IR"
"there are five songs in the movie, earlier we planned for 10 songs. when composing songs, IR gets into many minute details, I was bowled over. He asks like 'what is the landscape? is there a mountain? what colour saree the heroine wears? does she have kolusu? who else dances with her? etc. I was with him for composing for the first two days and I left all things to him. he does everything very meticulously. I usually sit with Sundar babu and my lyricists for composing until they are done with it. But for this movie, I left everything to IR"

* "you have given two hits now and many stars will want to work with you in future. will you accept if they want to change something in your script?"
"No, I won't compromise in my script for anybody. If I can write 80 scenes and someone asks me to change the 8th scene, I won't do it"
"what if there is indeed a flaw in the 8th scene?"
"still I won't do it. we are not making master pieces here. If there is a scene with a flaw, let it be there. I won't change it for anybody"

* "what's your next project?"
"I am doing a project with Surya in the lead. Surya called me after he saw Anjaathey, he congradulated me and expressed his desire to work with me."

But I am less confident that Raja can give Mysskin a popular tune like "Katthaazhai.." or "Vaala meenukkum.." .

He will shine in other songs, but off late his mass kuthu numbers lack lusture..nothing near to "Rasave sitterumbu.." etc.

If he wanted kaththaazha or vaal meenukkum, he would not have come to IR in the first place. So the reason he went to IR is for melodies and also esp for BGM. So please don't expect kuththu songs in Nandhalala.

The beauty of a composer lies in his sincerity to reach out to the people. Didn't he give songs like 'Kaana karunguyilae' ? I would be happy if he is able to give kuthu songs that can rival the other two we saw in the last two myskin films.

Iam Ethirparking a Kuthu Song on the lines of 'Singari Sarakku' or 'Ayya Voodu thoranthuthaan kedakku'.
The best from his recent offering was "Immathundu Manasu" from 'Madhu' The orshestration was great! reminiscing the vintage Raaja of 'Singari Sarakku'. The Energy level was High in the song. Sad that the movie bombed, Else It could have been the 'Manmadha Raasa' of that Year.

Idhellaam summaa..purudaa..
Ennavo..ippo vara IR paattellaam melody-la oori vandhaa maadhiri sollaadheenga..

For a serious "Anjaadhe" script, Katthaazha song was just a relaxer..
Like wise Mysskin will have some situation for Nandalala too..because every director will have a style/formula.

My fear is that Sundar.CB has successfuly set some expectations for Myskkin films now..Namma thalaivar adhai innum perisu pannanum..raja salaithavar illai-nu kaattanum..adhaan..

I am not expecting kuththu song in Nandhalala. The last kuththu song from IR I liked was Kanak karunguyile, (i like oththa rooba thaaren but it comes under folk category?), didn't like that much ayya voodu. Sorry I didn't listen to Immathundu manasu from Madhu. I moved totally away from IR and settled with Yuvan these days. Anyway I hope even if they have a kuththu song, IR should have used manual orchestra to get his trademark energy level. :D

appadi sollala even if you take Mayakannadi, ulagile azhagi is a decent song but I can't find any decent kuththu song from IR recently. So my point is his melodies are still listenable. Another example is Julie Ganapahty, I liked atleast 3 songs from it including thanni konjam.

Yes, you are right. Sunar CB has got only one song right in CP but in Anjaathey all three songs are good including the melody song manasukkul. If IR satisfied Mysskin, then songs should be decent.

rajasaranam vera song mobile ketten, romba nalla irunthathunnu solrar. So lets hope for the best.

In recent years, Raja's "kuthus" are a big bore and a sure turn-off, what with likes of Malathis and Pushpavanams only adding to the woes. Vidhyasagar is the best when it comes to "kuthus" with a melody touch

'Nandhalala' starts filming
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, July 05, 2008]

It is well known that Mysskin is mighty passionate about 'Nandhalala'. The director who delivered two big hits in 'Chithiram Pesudhade' and 'Anjathey' is also acting in his third project apart from directing it. The story is about a six year old kid and a thirty year old 'kid-like' person who go in search of their respective mothers.

The journey they take would also be a journey into the very essence of human nature in all it's splendor.

Four days of filming is over in a rather quiet manner keeping the intensity of the story in mind. Starting off with the portions that involve the boy and Mysskin, the movie will plod on in a smooth manner.

Mysskin belongs to the school of thought that believes in recording the sound portion along with the shooting part. No wonder that this project is rolling on in that fashion. Moreover, online editing is also going on. Shots from multiple cameras cut appropriately on location to get the right effect. Dummy soundtracks have also been posted to gauge the effect and the director is reportedly happy with what he is churning out.

A film on children highlighting the finer points of humanity will surely be a welcome relief for Tamil audiences.

I just watched Mysskin's previous film Anjaathey. While not 100% successful it is a unique and interesting film. I have not seen Chithiram Pesudhadi but going by Anjaathey and the storyline for Nandhalala the latter should be something fresh.

Nandhalala' going strong
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, September 09, 2008]

As reported earlier, director Mysskin's 'Nandhalala' is made with a lot of aesthetic grace and the film is about human relationships pertaining to maternal love. The film stars Mysskin along with a seven year old boy (Ashwath Raman) and both of them go in search of their respective mothers. The story is all about the journey and the people they meet on the way.

Shooting for the film is currently going on in Chennai and reports indicate that the climax scenes are being shot. However, all the song sequences are yet to be filmed. Songs are not going to be featured in the traditional format but as montage sequences.

According to Mysskin, Illayaraja's songs are tremendously intense capturing the mood of the film in a big way and that the songs would be a big boost for the film as a whole.

Scenes involving the mother characters to be shot in Gobichettipalayam.

Will a movie like 'Nandhalala' that delves into human relationships be embraced by Tamil audiences? Only time will tell.

Mysskin to give credit to “Kikujiro”
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, January 07, 2009]

Director Mysskin's 'Nandhalala' is almost wound up for an early release. The director, who has churned out films like “Chithiram Pesuthadi” and “Anjathey”, is keen to make a mark with 'Nandhalala' in which he plays the lead role besides directing it.

The movie is seemingly inspired by Japanese flick “Kikujiro”, directed by Taikeshi Kitano. It is about the journey of a young child. Released in 1999, the movie swept many awards. 'Kathale Kannalae' Snightha is also in the cast.

Interestingly, Mysskin was tight-lipped when the project initially began. However after pointed out buy certain section of media that the movie is actually a take-off of “Kikujiro”, Mysskin has eventually decided to give due credit to the original version in the title card itself.

Meanwhile, sources close to the director say he is planning his next inspired by August “Rush” (2007), a drama film directed by Kirsten Sheridan and written by Paul Castro.

How was it working with Ilaiyaraaja?
Working with Ilaiyaraaja is a totally different experience. When I worked for my first two
films, I was very interactive with my music director. But with him, as he knows everything, there was not much for me to explain. So I gave suggestions only in areas where I felt I wanted something different.
The film’s background score is already creating a buzz. Comment.
Once Ilaiyaraaja saw the film, he
suggested the idea of using musicians from abroad for the score. So we flew in symphony musicians from the Budapest orchestra and we’ve introduced rarely-used instruments like Oboe for the score. The last 50 minutes of the film will have no dialogue and it is only the score that’ll carry the film forward.
Do you think such an experiment will go down well with the audiences?
I hope so. But, what I can tell you is once you get immersed into the score, it’ll be as addictive as opium. We do have a plan of releasing the OST (original soundtrack) as an album but we’ll wait till the film’s release to decide.

:bluejump:
I hope atleast Mysskin keeps his promise, lets see.
