True. Only thing is, movie is scheduled to release by end of 2014, which means, it will be a long time to get a glimpse of music! Lets see.Quote:

His movies are more 'multiplex' oriented and not youth centric so he might as well give IR fans the pleasure of listening to new compositions.
one has got to be a kind of an artistic/aesthetic sadist NOT to insist on fresh/new tunes/music from IR!
Balki maybe his great fan, but a gyaana soonyam as far as using his talent/genius

Thanks Krish! The songs have the expected rustic flavour but there are three surprises in the soundtrack.Quote:

Vanathil is what you call heaven-in-a-song. The usage of harp and piano is so divine here that you instantly feel the bliss. The lyrics and situation indicate a blissful relationship which is pure and the instruments and melody exemplify it to a T.
The usage of harp in most of the songs and the general feel indicates that this movie has a deep focus on "pure" relationships. Looks promising!
A request - Could someone who resides outside India please let me know how to buy "Oru Oorla" and "Thalaimuraigal" songs? I acquired Megha and other recent albums from iTunes and amazon digital, but no such luck with these albums. Thanks in advance.
Thalaimuraigal has no songs, only background score. Oru Oorla i am not so sure but you can try agimusic.Quote:

IR has been roped in for the remake of "Kaksparsh", a marathi movie, in Hindi and Tamil. I think, Mahesh manjrekar is directing it.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/e...w/28789072.cms
"...Illayaraja has been roped in for the project and the film will go on floors on January 16...the film is a love saga set in the 1930-1950s in Konkan. It revolves around the turbulence faced by a Brahmin family when their young widowed daughter-in-law falls in love with her older brother-in-law..."

Review of "Touring Talkies":
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rev...-review-671695
"...The songs on the soundtrack, not performed by the actors but simply accompanying the images, are a dime a dozen. However, the score by veteran composer Ilayaraja, another Jai Hind alumnus, cleverly plays on the film’s tradition-versus-modernity theme..."
thanks,
Krishnan
Came across this. Is this another song composed by IR with english lyrics for "Touring Talkies". Probably sung by hungarian musicians. Simple and nice backgrounds.

P.S.: The last post to this thread was on Jan 18th. WOW! Hey...how are you all doing?
முள்ளும் மலரும், ஜானி, நெஞ்சத்தைக் கிள்ளாதே, உதிரிப்பூக்கள் என தமிழ்சினிமா ரசிகர்களை இன்றைக்கும் திரும்பி பார்க்க வைத்தவர் டைரக்டர் மகேந்திரன். அவரும், இளையராஜாவும் இணைந்த எல்லாப் படங்களுமே தனித்துவம் பெற்றவை.
அப்படிப்பட்ட இந்த இரண்டு பிரபலங்களும் பல ஆண்டு இடைவெளிக்குப் பிறகு மீண்டும் ஒரு புதிய படத்தில் இணைகிறார்கள். அந்தப் படத்தின் அறிமுக விழா இன்று சென்னை பிரசாத் ஸ்டுடியோவில் நடந்தது.
நிகழ்ச்சியில் இசைஞானி இளையராஜாவும் டைரக்டர் மகேந்திரனும் பங்கேற்றனர். இன்னும் டைட்டில் வைக்கப்படாத இந்தப்படத்தைப் பற்றி டைரக்டர் மகேந்திரன் பேசியதாவது,
“நீண்ட இடைவெளிக்குப் பிறகு இந்தப் படம் பண்ணுகிறேன். புதுமைப்பித்தன் எழுதிய ஒரு கதையை மையப்படுத்திதான் இந்தப் படத்தை உருவாக்குகிறேன்.
இந்த இடைப்பட்ட நாட்களில் எனக்கு நிறைய பட வாய்ப்புகள் வந்தன. ஆனால் எனக்கே உரிய சில கிறுக்குத்தனங்களை சமரசம் செய்து கொள்ள முடியாததால் அவற்றை நான் ஒப்புக் கொள்ளவில்லை. இந்தப் படம் ஒரு குடும்பத்துக்குள் நடக்கும் கதை. நீங்கள் எல்லாம் அறிந்த கதை தான்.
இந்தப் படத்துக்கு இன்னும் டைட்டில் வைக்கவில்லை. என் படங்கள் சிலவற்றுக்கு இளையராஜாதான் டைட்டில் வைத்தார். உதிரிப் பூக்கள் என்ற டைட்டிலையே அவர்தான் வைத்தார். அதேபோல இந்தப்படத்துக்கும் அவர்தான் டைட்டில் வைப்பார்.
என் படங்களில் பெரும்பாலான வசனங்களை நான் எழுதவில்லை. இளையராஜாதான் எழுதியிருப்பார். நான் இப்படிச் சொன்னதும் உங்களுக்கு குழப்பமாக இருக்கும். அது வேறொன்றுமில்லை, நான் எடுத்த பெரும்பாலான காட்சிகள் மெளனமாகத்தான் இருக்கும். அந்த காட்சிகளுக்கெல்லாம் தன் பின்னணி இசையால் அர்த்தமுள்ள வசனங்கள் எழுதியவர் இளையராஜாதான். அதனால் தான் அப்படிச் சொன்னேன். அவர் இல்லாமல் என் படங்கள் எப்போதுமே இல்லை,” என்றார் மகேந்திரன்.
The trilingual movie "Un samayal Araiyil" will have different (different tunes, I guess) songs for each language:

any idea which movie are they talking about here?
Sivasub, it must be for the remake of marathi movie "Kaksparsh" in Hindi and Tamil. I had posted the news that IR is composing for this movie sometime back.

This news says IR may be part of Drishyam (Malayalam movie) remake in Tamil (*ing Kamal in lead role). The news is not yet confirmed.

The movie (Drishyam) is a drama-thriller (from Wiki) movie it seems. Very interesting plot.

It seems Bala's Karagattam is IR's 1000th movie. A great milestone indeeed. Feel very proud. Congratulations to IR!

Galatta site says, Karagaattam is IR's 1001st movie! Not sure who is right.
http://www.galatta.com/tamil/news/ba...-1001st/76887/
thanks,
Krishnan
Wow.. that's a great milestone! Can we expect something special..
Karagattam becomes Thaarai thappattai
Film-maker Bala’s upcoming film has been titled as Thaarai Thappattai. The film was earlier titled as Karakaattam but Bala being what he is, didn’t like his film’s name resembling another film’s name and has gone for a change of title. The film would also be Ilaiyaraaja’s 1000th film in an illustrious career which spans over 38 years.
Sasikumar and Varalakshmi Sarathkumar have been paired as on-screen pair in this film which reportedly has the ancient folk dance form of ‘Karakaattam’ as its central theme. Sasikumar plays a Nadaswara artiste while Varalakshmi plays a Karakaattam dancer. The film has already raised huge expectations as it’s the landmark 1000th film for Ilaiyaraaja who has achieved everything and more in his amazing career.
The Maestro is said to have composed 12 songs for the film. In order to infuse a feeling of nativity in the songs, Ilaiyaraaja reportedly brought number of real life Nadaswaram and Thavil artistes to his Prasad Labs in the city during the compsing sessions. Bala, who had been mourning the demise of his mentor and film-maker Balumahendra who passed away a few weeks back, is back to work with Thaarai Thappattai.
Sasikumar would be seen sans his trademark beard for his role in the film. After shaving off his beard, Sasi had gone in for a fifties-like moustache which looks pencil-thin. Taking his role seriously, Sasi has also been undergoing training from some real-life Nadaswaram artistes.

Raaja is scoring for one more bilingual as per the news in TOI dated 25-Mar-14
"Sandalwood director-actor Prem is venturing into Tamil cinema. Prem has been signed up to star in a Kannada-Tamil bilingual, which will be directed by debutant Srinivas. Tentatively called Bumbolenath, the film will be launched officially on April 24. Incidentally, will bring back popular music composed Ilaiyaraaja to Kannada cinema.
According to a source from the film's team, the music man has already started composing the soundtrack, which will have five numbers....."
The below link says Bala's movie is titled "Getti Melam". Not sure how far it is true.

It seems, Prakash Raj was moved to tears after hearing a song from Bala's movie and fell at IR's feat.
Un Samayil araiyl is 1001st movie for IR.

In the latest sleeper hit film, "Cuckoo", I heard that the visually challenged hero only sings Ilaiyaraja songs. Has anyone seen the movie? I am curious to know if the MD Santhosh Narayanan given it a fresh treatment or has he done work similar to that of J. Vasanthan in Subramaniapuram, which had complete songs of IR in many sequences?
Gaaliyaa gives a feel of "Badli ye hawaa" from Shiva..
The first song gives a feel of recent Malayalam hits of IR..
And the Telugu version, Uluvacharu Biriyani, just released a few minutes ago.

Thanks Karthik for the Kannada version! Heard only bits and pieces. Happened to listen to "Manadi belakaayite" almost completely. Charanam tune is pleasing. However,what stunned me was the second interlude (electric guitar!) of this song. What a sound! Need to listen to the songs in better headphones! Kailash kher song somehow hinted me of "Oranjaram" (from Parthiban movie). Similar raaga? Not sure.
Mappi, is there any fresh news that this movie is releasing this year? What an idea to put "this winter" in trailer! It is applicable for any year :). I am really curious about this movie and IR's BGM and songs. Bad that it is not yet released :(
thanks,
Krishnan
