Mr Sarath gets IR's certificate :-)
http://www.dailythanthi.com/article....ate=11/20/2009
How many different fashions the same statement is being reported by media :lol:
See this :
http://tamil.cinesouth.com/masala/ho...112009-4.shtml
They even try to read IR's mind (published it within brackets), implying that IR talked about eezham when talking about 'Adhi ushus sandhya'.
No doubt most of us get emotional on the subject of people getting forced to evacuate their land.
In IR's case, as reported by him in the dinathanthi varalAru, he was also an eye witness to such a thing during childhood when people were dislocated for vaigai dam, causing a strong impression in his mind.
No wonder he gets emotional when such subjects come across. Possibly that's one of the reasons for his critique on the lyric.
i cant believe that after 2 decades (since 'mullum malarum' faced similar problems and kamal had to intervene then as well!), after 'sethu' faced similar problems (went on to create sensation once released!), even now in 2009, tamil cinema is filled with the same crappy, unimaginative, uncreative, bunch of morons running the show!Quote:

It's getting really interesting to compare the reporting styles of different groups.

This website gives the following funny heading :
இளையராஜா – மலையாளிக்கு ம*ரியாதை :-)
Actually the contrary seems to be true, MalayaLees seem to appreciate him better than those of his current dwelling place.
Also it makes a last line statement :
Quote:
இளையராஜாவையும் இப்படியொருவர் விமர்சிக்கும் போது அவரும் கோபப்படாமல் கைத்தட்டுவார் என நம்புவோம்.
IR and his comments on 'Stars' - strongest case is the Madhiya chennai album.
Un vaazhve song is a case in point.
I donno if it was a personal opinion of Raja about stars. - however since he controls lyrics for quite an extent, the words like 'Rasigaraal uyarvargal, arasukkum alaivaargal' coming from the mouth of an industry insider - seems to be a strong strong statement and frankly raises my curiousity about the movie.
Is IR giving a performance in Dubai?? Any idea??

Here in Dubai, it's promoted as Yuvan's program. Don't think thailaivar will be present, because the promos do not mention his name.Quote:

Another controversy here

Baby defends ONV
Education Minister M A Baby on Friday defended poet O N V Kurup against music maestro Ilayaraja’s criticism that ONV’s lyrics ‘Adiyushassandhya..’ in ‘Pazhassi Raja’ did not capture the desired mood.
“Vayalar, P Bhaskaran and ONV are poets who took Malayalam film songs to a higher level of creativity. Has Ilayaraja forgotten all that?’’ the Minister said.
Ilayaraja had criticised the lyrics during the audio release function for the film’s Tamil version the other day.
The contexts are different. If my understanding is correct, IR was talking about his challenge in making a tune/rythm for the unalterable lyrics of ONV and how he came up with an unanticipated tune. I could see an intelligence there.
Minister interference is unnecessary.
Like i said this is beyond whatever thalaivar said, too much of media exaggeration and now minister?
Minister rombo vetti polarakku, intha matteril yellam intefere pennuraaru.

*******SARCASM ALERT****************
I met a old man, whose brother-in-law's friend has a cousin who is married to the sister of a Blind school teacher, who said that they went to invite IR for a school event, and he not only insulted the said teacher and executives but also snatched their previous collection and asked his watchman to beat them up and left them on the road with not even money to take a bus.

For people who still take it seriously, here's an update:

IR - he had no reason to take a swipe at ARR recently when he ridiculed his attribution of everything to GOD.
Now, he somehow created a controversy on Malayalam writer and also some Super/Supreme star crap.
I think he is a lone and barking nut, and perhaps all his yesteryear friends shun from him to escape from his bite.
His bark could be worser than his bite :) but your statement means that his bite is as powerful as his bark.
If only this guy had been a little courteous and less abrupt, we could have unearthed more gems from him !

of the total no of movies made every year, how many of them are watchable from a story line point of view ?? perhaps IR was referring to that kind of a trend, where every kid wants to be a star without even thinking of how much effort/work perseverence is required to reach that status - its like kids in india wanting to become like sachin tendulkar, without even having a clue of how much effort sachin has put in all his career (spending 4-6 hrs on end, practising in the nets)
its this lack of discipline and work ethics that is characterising our so-called wannabe 'stars' in the making - I take IR's comments as indirectly referring to this trend

Washing a complicated character like IR's laundry is of going to be zero use. We have to learn to look past the character of Raja and focus more on the gifts he has provided by using his talents. Ippadi panni irundhaa - appadi panni irundhaa kinda talks - Root cause analysis etc., are not applicable to even normal lesser talented mortals like us - Applying it to a genius can only demonstrate how STUPID and IDIOTIC we can get at times
Gandhi, periyaar, Rajaji ivanga maadhiri aatkal vaazhkayila kooda evvalavo asattu thanangal nirainju irukku. They are great because they do not cover these things with a blanket of political correctness and dishonesty. Atleast lets be happy that 'senility', , 'stupidity', arrogance, harsh words - whatever IR has - has never been a 'SECRET' - No intended dishonesty here. Idhukku Poai alattikkalaama?

Many a times IR has himself publically said MSV was an great inspiration for him. So he must have said the same during the interview, but the interview was totally on Thiruvasagam and IR so IR might have felt that may be, i reiterate may be, MSV may not be brought into the scene....i think its his own prerogative....
How many times MSV has told he was so inspired by his Seniors, he has respect for his seniors, i do agree. But how many times?
IR has respect for all his seniors, he has told this many on times on stage itself, that doesn't mean he should attribute all his success to his seniors and nothing to him.
He might have thought that Thiruvasagam work was his own creative process and hence he might have wanted to avoid others getting into it.
just my thoughts....
Tamizhisai
Plum,
Aaaaaaah. 'kelambitangaya kelambitanga'. That is how you must be feeling now that your sarcasm will become the matter for controversy. :lol:
Everyone wants to take anything written bad about Raja literally and jump into the advice giving bandwagon and accusing him of not being a good person and all other MDs as being angels.
Even in the current ONV based controversy that has erupted, as usual no one in the press writes the whole thing and highlight only what they want. According to the link that Flifo has posted, Raja has wondered how come ONV was not able to compose for the tune he set though he has composed so many times for tunes, the best being 'thumbi vaa'. This is very different from saying, 'Raja says ONV cannot compose for a tune!!!'. I guess similar thing happened during the Myskkin controversy earlier.
As Jai says, we atleast have one artist who speaks his mind unlike everyone else who is quite bland and politically correct.
The Trombone player, Blasco Monsorate, talks about Illayaraja, his working style and how it is working under him. Violin Vicky has a nice post about the usage of Trombone in Raja's films earlier. He has pointed out this interview of Blasco in his blog
http://raagadevan.blogspot.com/
Vicky's site has the Raja relevant portion of the interview. To read the whole interview, which also talks about R D Burman, check out

Oh - I didnt expect people to take my post seriously!
But this clearly shows how such rumours spread. Naan oru 'idhukku' apdi oru post pOttaen. Oru 5 varusham kazhichu, idhu oru FACT-Aga internet-la quote aagum paarunga, IR blind school teacher kitterundhu paNam pudunginaarunnu :lol:
Let me edit and put a sarcasm alert in my post

And thats why IR always wants to be called as 'composer' than a mere 'music director'.

My point is none of us discussing this here are even 1/millionth as talented and as focussed as him, so like what vicky says, we always take the easy route of throwing stones at IR's kirukkuthanams while there is a harder route of climbing on the everest of output he has kept there for us to focus on and that very few of us have the guts and willingness to do.Quote:

Jai,
"Openaa pesaravanellaam yogiyanum illai, vaaya moodittu irukkavanellaam ayogyanumillai"
:-)))
Gokul.
Fair enough, Jaiganes. Frankly I'd not even label such things simply as acts of arrogance or "kirukkuththanam." He's just giving his opinions and people are finding it hard to digest it.
Raja always speaks his mind that shows he is a real sour grapper. ARR over took and kept his promise opening a music college. This guy IR tals about opening music university and ne ver delivers
