Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

Attended the event in person and have to say that our makkal have a long way to go to appreciate aesthetics. As a courtesy we can at best keep quiet when the orchestra is playing and maybe give them a standing ovation after its done. You just cannot hoot/whistle while in play. Its not there in our DNA. We are not watching a cricket match. Performers can get distracted with all these hoots and could end up messing the show.

There was a family seated behind me with kids and I for once thought whether are we in a picnic or kids magic show event. Kids continuous chattering and grown ups incessant mobile calls. Our tastes and sense of avai adakkam are despicable. If you have to come hear live music then learn to behave.

Raja deserves better than this.

I would rate the album as Raja's top 5. Please listen to Kaatre Konjam's charaman and the violin backups as Karthik is singing. It cannot be human.

Hope Gowtham has come up with some great visuals and not remove any of the songs in the movie

Carnatic crowd dijiplinedA? canteenla bhajji vaasanai pidichu ezhundhu pORA koottam dhANE? :shock:

TM Krishna has the habit of refusing to sing until these canteen-going, gossip mongering crowd settles down in silence.

indha class-conscious commentslAm sirippai dhAn vara vazhaikkiRAdhu.

:manisaarkodumaisugaasinieffect:

Yov, bajjikkaaga elunthu pOravan thaaraaLamaa pOttum. But irukkavan silent aa illaama eppadi kathuraan paarunga! In that symphony vid, the 2nd line of Mayanginen Solla Thayanginen went inaudible :( (That will be audible in the TV telecast athu vera vishamaym)

SKV mentioned a very good point during our telephonic conversation. IR said please dont whistle and every one of us followed it and there was a group which was not prepared to do it.

Note: THis group gave a standing ovation and applause and mention when GVM mentioned Vinnai thandi varuviya. So we know who they were ....a bunch of losers

Good point SKV

Balu Mahendra with Ilayaraja again :bluejump:

The veteran director Balu Mahendra, whose Moondram Pirai, Moodupani, Azhiyaadha Kolangal and many such are considered masterpieces, has divulged that he has at least 6 projects in hand. He has already started his next film and in a recent event announced that Ilayaraja will compose the music for all his forthcoming films as always.

Though the legendary director hasn’t disclosed any details of the film, he said he is very happy with the way things have started for him. The first day of his shoot was surprisingly witnessed by Ilayaraja, whom the director respects very highly. Balu Mahendra has also observed his presence on the sets as a good sign and he says that he is sure of the film’s success.

I thought he retired from his services due to health issue. Good that he starts his innings back. Wish that happen.

பாலு மகேந்திரா அனுபவமுள்ள பெரிய மனுஷன். அவருக்கு தெரியும் ராஜா சாரின் அருமை பெருமைகள்.

அவரிடம் தானே வளர்ந்தான் பாலா? சேது படம் பண்ணி கொண்டு இருந்த நேரத்தில் உலகமே தன்னை ஒதுக்கி விட்டது, ஆனால் தனக்கு ஊக்கமும், நம்பிக்கையும், அன்பையும் அந்த நேரத்தில் விடாமல் அள்ளி தந்தது நடிகர் சிவகுமாரும், ராஜா சாரும் மட்டும் தான் என்று சரியாக பத்து ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு புளங்காகிதமடைந்து கொண்டிருந்த பாலாவின் அடுத்த படமான பரதேசிக்கு ராஜா சாரின் இசை இல்லையாம்.


பாலா மகேந்திராவிடம் சினிமாவை கற்றுக்கொண்ட பாலா, நன்றியையும் விசுவாசத்தையும் கற்றுகொள்ளவில்லை.

Sakal - not just going out. Thona thonannu pesikkaRadhu, "nalla irukke indha necklaceu"nu niraval nadul solRadhu - ellaa ketta pazhakkamum carnatic crowdukkum undu. Some class conscious sugaasini like ppl think carnatic crowd is better. Adhukkaga sonnen.

He first went to YUvan for this ( like he did for Nandha ) . Yuvan did not have dates and hence went to GVP
