Thyagayya on the life of Sri Thyagaraja will be made in both Tamil and Telugu simultaneously !
Surely a great opportunity for IR to show his genius ! But I would like him not to end up in controversies like in Sindhu Bairavi.. Since it is a life story, I would like him to align with the innovations of Thyaggayya rather than his own experimentations :)

Dhanam Padalgal eppadi?
May be an controversy! But if not for that album, i would'nt have developed interest in carnatic music . Let him do some experimentation, which makes the music reach us easily !Quote:

"Ilaiyaraaja Swamigal"
hmmm..seems to be inspired by "Dakshinamurthy Swamigal" in Malayalam film music..
In Kerala, the title "Swamigal" is respected. But in TN, it has long been made a trivial. Inge idhai makkal kocchai paduthi romba naalaagi vittadhu..:(

It says Jeeva was the cameraman of this film. The theme of this film is different from other films and having Jeeva worked on this film increases my curiosity. Will the film be good?
It is not the word's mistake. IMO depends upon the person who called as Swamigal, the worth of that word changesQuote:

Thanks for link Hulkster. I am going to listen to it now :)
Everything is a gem with freaking scintallating orchestratio...african tribal music..veenai, bass line and unique rhythms....athaadi magamaayi sollavum mudiyavillei mellavum mudiyavillei :notworthy:
Does the link work? It is not playing for me :(
Not working? :frightened:
okay go to this link and click on dhanam then.

One more thing about this album...Illayaraja can EXPERIMENT with a synthesizer :frightened: i know he was playing with the synthesizer for all the other movies for boredom all this while :angry2:
This movie has a good technical team..Quote:

The director is a debutant and is from KB's school.
The link is working but the player doesn't play songs. Let me try a few times. I checked out Raaga, they haven't posted them yet.Quote:

Okay one last comment. All three koothu paathus are semma koothu...this is what i call koothu :cool:
I am hearing the songs now.
Koothu onnu - thalaivar is rocking (ithaanda kuthu!) :)
Kattilukku mattum - great singing by thalaivar, lyrics also good
Kannanukku enna vendum - good one
Other songs didnt impress me on first hearing, need to hear more. Since I am in office, I can't concentrate.
Using firefox only. It used to play Saroja songs without any trouble now doesn't cooperate with me :angry2:Quote:

Give the other melodies especially ilamai kanavugal, unakulley irukkiren a good listen...IR will surprise u how much he can experiment at this age. :cool:
Yes, expecting some decent effort by the team for this movie.Quote:

Listened to all the songs.
Thanks Hulkster for the link .
I won't say "Vow", but note that no song of this album makes a boring listening !
A renewed Raja for sure, a lot of new experimentations within usual synth stuff.
Unakulle - a very good melody, a clever rehash of "Dheemi dheemi" of Shiva-2006 !
Ilamai Kanavugal -
On the first listen, sounded like a typical Bharadwaj tune in Autograph etc . The fast pace of this song makes it interesting and Karthik again shines with IR !
Kannanukku - a melody hangover of UO, with nice carnatic jathis towards the end.
Kootthu onnu - Amused to hear IR's mimickry as a drunken guy ! Thalaivar nadikka pogalaam !
Not much to comment on other songs now.
An above average album :)
Dhanam..Dhanam song is "Dhrishti pottu"
I guess different opinions.....Anyway the orchestration is totally off the hook....i just cant stop raving about this.
Say what I liked than writing a big review that sounds for everybody!! Rediff does this mistake often.
One hearing...not good..mutiple hearing...great....
Leave the review to the listener himself. Don't bias him with opinions..Rather it is better to enlighten his music sense or point out how it shouldn't be...
No sherya ghosal again!!! :( Sherya ghosal was a must in IR's albums but lately she has not been singing for IR...Disappointed!!
Got my player working :sigh2:
Listened to two numbers now, Bhavatharini's song sounds good.
anyone listening to this will think this were an old album composed by IR during the 1980s, with re-adaptation (a lot of karthik raja?) - But the album has the very garam masala that most forummers thirsted for long here !
How is commenting or having a point of view a mistake? Every piece of opinion in this forum is biased - either towards the album or against - bias need not be in one direction alone! If the content of the material is genuinely good, it'll stand the test of many people's opinions, whichever way.
Just a thought!

Kanaukku Enna by Prasanna (somebody said its bhava) .Prasanna had sung thanni konjam song. A semi classical song with superb interludes ! Excellent charanam and nice lyrics !!!NOt sure how some of u missed it .
Unakkul erukiiraen by sriram parthasarathy with zingy orchestration is an instant catch ,esp the anu pallavi part and the interludes.
I wont say this is very diff orchestration , but the three songs remind me of orchestration of sambhu !
Katilukku mattumdhana is real ziny ,orchestration for a pathos song - something raaja has tried less !I enjoyed this song, although the melody line is bit archaic .
Dhanam dhanam is Ok song , a throwback to 90s beats .If at all the movie becomes a hit, this is up the chartbusters. Charanam is bit disappointing, but the rythm compensates.
Ulagam Kidakuthu has some rustic singing by sarathy with zingy orchestration, but already-heard-90s tune. I guess the R&B englishsation of songs works ,but the same thing in POP probably doesn't work. Was plesantly surprised at the use of raaga.com sample.
Overall , 4 good songs in my opinion. UO and now this , things are looking better .
Guys thanks for reviews :cool:
two good albums in a short period and so many albums including much awaited Naan Kadavul are coming.
I think it is not a big task to wake-up big count of raaja's silent fans but IR has to concentrate. 4 languages atti padaicha IR-ku ippo ithukku periya interest illamal irukkalam but good scripts will extract good music from him.
Kannanukku Enna Vendum seems to have been sung by Bhava and not Prasanna (the rough edges are a give away).
Absolutely - I'd trust my ears over Galatta's error-prone credits!
