IR New Albums - Ver 2006

I have not listened to Hindi Film music for a while now, but thanks to Maestro, I am......

listen to Devi Sri Prasad's interview -

he tells how ardent fan of IR he is and how it is also impossible to ape IR :)

down to earth interview

You could see Devi sri prasad in Andrum indrum endrum tapping his feet to glory for all IR songs..
The glow on his face could never betray his feelings that he was a HCIRF like us all

IR picks up Filmfare Best music director award in Malayalam category for the movie achuvinte amma.

Cheers IR :clap:.... an offbeat movie that can only be enhanced by his close to heart musical score

though i dont bother about these awards i does give a sense of recognition :clap: - oru alpa santhosham thaan :)
Second in the row after last year's 'Manasinakkarae'.... hope he will get a hatrick with next year too for 'Rasathanthiram' :)

My pick of the album 'Achuvinte Amma' were 'Thaamara kurivikku thaatavidu' and 'Swasathin Thaalam' and the third No. 'Enthu Paranjaalum' with shades of 'Pachamalai Poovu' from Kizhakku Vasaal was slo a good one.

rs, agree there. Achuvinte amma had deja-vu all written over it - but it was soothing and touching all the same. Somehow I fell in love with these songs. Endhu paranjalum is much better than Pacha Mala Poovu(inspite of SPB!) - there was something synthetic about the latter maybe because of the situations.
Also, the picturisation of the song also had deja-vu for me with Oorvashi and Meera Jasmine playing out some sequences from Sujatha-Revathi's "Thaalattu maari ponadhae".
Thaamarakuruvikku is a riot - a good ode to the maappila paattu genre, though IR twists it to his style as usual. I couldnt see any obvious recycling here but I guess cynics would.
