IR's New albums - Ver 2008

guys - lets not jump to any conclusions abt IR and KH - theirs is an evergreen friendship and understanding that goes beyond mere cinematic conveniences! even for Marma yogi, apparently KH wanted someone from IR's family while discussions were going on with Adlabs/Reliance - for 10A, KH wud not have approached IR for the BGM only, since KH is quite aware of IR's policy (Lajja was an exception, since Santoshi approached IR in the beginning itself) of not doing BGM only - besides, IR and KS Ravikumar dont share a congenial relationship at all!

You have no idea what legends BR, KB and to some extend MR are.

Idhu remba overu :)
Talking as though you were grown up every day seeing BR and MR face to face ! No one else knows anything about these people ? And you are including KB in this list ! I wonder how many people accept KB as a class director ! IMHO he is just a very successful director of his times but whose films will never stand time like that of MR.

People like Amir and Myskkin have just started their shows. Give time to them and see. I am only hopeful that they will become greats in their own way. After watching "Idhaya Koil" or "Pagal nilavu" who would have thought MR will rise to such heights in India ? We always need to wait and see. we never know..

so dont let your "manak kuthirai" travel distances. If at all, it is probably due to 10A. Himesh is not doing BGM. There were rumors about ARR and now someone else. Most likely KH would have approached IR and he would have declined / asked to go to someone else.

Idhu yaarudaiya "manak kuthirai" sir ?
I just said "I now doubt about IR-KH relationship". Nothing more than that. See how much you have added :)

Thumburu,
I learn that Maanida sevai is in the Raga Udaya Ravichandrika.

Telugu director Teja is starting a film with new faces and has assembled a top notch team of IR(music),P C Sreeram(DOP)&Thotta Tarani(Art direction).

This news is on telugu websites like idlebrain.com&telugucinema.com.

Teja's films have had good music esp by R.P.Patnaik but he is on a downslide for the last few years with most of his films flopping.

I wud rate KB ahead of MR on any day - MR has way too many limitations such as urban dramas and repetitive style of filmmaking and when he ran out of ideas, or should I put it this way: he thought it easy and convenient to latch on to the 'terror/militant' angle he made two lacklustre movies in Mumbai and DilSe both of which had as many flaws as chambers in a beehive

For me, movies like Neerkumizhi, Edhir Neechal, avargal etc are interesting each time I watch them, whereas MR's movies that are watchable more than once are just a couple

Yes, I have lived in BR days. Went to almost every one of his movies in the opening day itself. People like KB (K Balachandar, not K Bhagyaraj) and BR are crowd pullers because they created many trends on many fronts. KB is the only director who made more than 100 movies. How is that possible? I would include KB ahead of rest of them, followed by BR. MR can join at the tail end. I would not even add him if not for Nayagan & Dhalapathi. Rest of his movies are pathetic attempt to get into national screen.

Romba overa ellai??Parthale paravasam was his 100th movie and then POI..so its 101..Ennamo 150 movies direct panna mathri pesuringe..His last two movies were utter crap... :banghead: :banghead: MR grow as film maker unlike KB..

Mahen,

In my opinion, 50% of KB's movies were crap, but were successful just because they were different and it clicked at that time !

All he could achieve was a large female fan base because of his protrayal of the so called "revolutionary women". But most of his women characters were "Adhiga prasangigal". Also not to talk of his diagonal relationships ! Vakram and incest. Only movies like UMT, Punnagai Mannan, Duet were exceptions.

I can watch Mouna Ragam, Nayakan, Thalapathi etc any times. MR is not perfect, but far better than KB !

Went to landmark citi centre and the tamil new release audio section had a lot of cds of KKH...when i went to pay the bill..there was a guy who didnt know tamil but was telling his friend in the next counter...this audio cd is doing well and has had a good sale..

Good news
