Raja sir should be very choosy abt his projects.. he shud do only quality movies... must outrightly reject other movies.. varusathukku 1 or 2 movies is enough.. this wud increase his market value too and will also create much more expectations from his fans and the public..
saw a song from madhu today.. painful to see that raja sir has composed for such a movie..
>>Seems Hariharan is not any ordinary director<<
Interesting, that there had even been such thought that movies such as 'oru vadakkan veeragAtha' can be made by ordinary directors:-) When you get a chance, please listen to the songs of MalayALam movies by Hariharan / MT combo (Bombay Ravi was the regular MD for this combo) and you'll realize why I'm hoping so much for a good IR score in this project.
Some of the movies by Hariharan with great songs that I relished while at Palakkad: panchAgni, nakakshadhangaL, oru vadakkan veeragAtha, pariNayam...there could be more.
my few cents abt KKP:
1.'malai nila' sounds like a cross between 'oliyiley'(azhagi) (just the pallavi), 'oru siri kandaal' (mallu song by IR rendered by Chitra?) and 'allah un anaippadi' (Chandralekha)
2.'pottumela' is 80s style Raja with shades of 'thanandhana kummi kutti'(athisiya piravi) feel!
3.'nalai inneram' takes off from 'anne anne' and has shades of 'kakkala kannamma' (yatra mozhi) - but the charanam (with shades of 'malaiyyil manjal' from Manam virumbuthey unnai towards the end of the charanam) is classic IR - luv it! - this charanam wud fit well into a song for a Hindi speaking audience
4.'sollum varai' - has shades of 'manasathotta kadhal'(kadhal kavidhai)
overall as someone mentioned, the bits-n-pieces pallavis are irritating, but still its a fresh IR after a hiatus!
R.Man Pasand is just not letting Shreya say anything much/more abt IR than a few words!! each time Shreya mentions IR, RMP changes the topic !?#*!

Interestingly, I expected you to jump in on this :)
If you remember, I have already posted my thoughts on the songs of "Oru Vadakkan veerakatha" some time back.
I liked them.
At the same time, I would say that the movie was good, but not very great to be named a classic style of film making.
But I expect a lot from "Pazhassi Raja" . Even one song like "Sundari kannaal.." with grand orchestration and visuals will make me happy :)
Raja_fan: IMHO, for Pazhassi Raja, IR will not give something like 'sundari' - the context, the movie, the star cast, the filmmaker all are completely different! Thalapathy is big in terms of Rajini, MR etc. Big canvas and grandiose output.
For PR, the 'big' factor is in a different context - the 'big'ness comes from a different filmmaker who would ask/extract something more subtle and sublime from IR rather than grandiose! for MR and RK, IR had to give something very grandiose, while for PR, it will be more refined - this is not to underplay the quality of Thalapathy score
it is like John Williams scoring for a movie like Jurassic Park (big-budget, grandiose product) and something like Amistad (not as big and grand, but still very much a powerful human drama)
For something like GURU, IR went bonkers like Sachin against Brad Hogg, coz of the fantasy like story requirement/content - but with PR, it is rooted in historical facts, and hence the score will be more in-between what IR would have given for 'Marud' (if Kamal had made it) and what IR gave for Guru! its like Sachin playing a more watchful but equally brilliant innings on a two-paced pitch like the one in Headingley -))
irir123,
Ok. I agree.
What I precisely meant is Grandeur + Usage of manual instruments,not synth (his old style) + flowing tunes.
As this movie is slated for an English dubbing too, we can expect something big from this team. Fingers crossed..
