IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

12bums,

not sure why u are critical of TB's acting prospects. There is no data point for us to say he is bad at acting or going to be bad..If many new comers with no background in Cinema can prove to be successful, why TB, who has good experience in cinema, can't be.

I guess the notion that actors shd have skin beauty/be of young age is deeply rooted among Indian movie fans mind i guess..it all depends on the story and how it is portrayed that makes the movie successful - not how young or beautiful ( skin ) the characters have

I know you were making the comment only in a lighter note :-)

Cheers
MSK

When is Mumbai Express audio getting released? Was it supposed to come out sometime this week?

well read more about it here

Why an audio company now?

Well, the situation demanded. I was quite impressed with Ilayaraja's tunes and felt it is my prime duty to release the audiocassette on my own. Amazing that I have an advance order for over 1.75 lakh cassettes. Major credit should to Ilayaraja and little bit to me for I was also involved in composing with the maestro.

Mumbai express has 4 songs (melodious and fast track)....

I hope ME will of the same range as other IR-Kamal musical hits such as Vikram, Aboorva Sagotharargal, Hey RAM, etc etc.

Interesting reading material:

Hi All,

I got a chance to see (from midway I guess) ME's trailer (Hindi version by Sahara) on MTV. The song started like "Ayala Re...". On first hearing, I found the pallavi to be peppy and pretty catchy. Initially sounded a bit unlike IR, but midway somewhere I could make out IR's stamp. The orchestration was again different with some sax interludes. I guess Shaan is one of the singers. It was only his voice that I could guess, others no idea. On the whole, on first hearing, I felt that its a very good catchy number and it seemed to stick to the current trend. Its surely unlike IR's other recent catchy numbers.

Need to hear it again.

The song ( title song ? ) resembles "Oram po, Oram po, rukkumani vandi ..." What song yaar ! I am losing hope :(

I presume you have based your comments after listening to the four lines which plays in the backround of the website.Then the only similarity that I could see was in the lyrics-oram po,rukkumani vandi varudu went that song&this one goes as...............,oram ne othu poo,vustundi vustundi mumbai expressu.I couldn't find any striking similarity in the tune.

You are disappointed after listening to four lines :o ,they don't make a complete soundtrack yaar.Wait for the audio release.Also you can't expect a haunting musical score for a satire/comedy.Is the music for Apoorva Sahodarargal,MMMK brilliant?They had catchy songs,thats it.This one also sounds quite catchy(even if only the pallavi is being played).

vaayya vaa. nalla mattiniyaa?
Apoorva sahodharargal theme music a variation of which is played when
1. when the boat carrying srividhya floats in the river,
2. when the mother and the children are reunited
3. When finally appu goes to prison and all his pet animals come to raja (particularly the parrot).
This was one movie where raaja's rajyam was allowed to be installed by kamal.

The song "Onnai nenachen" had the best violin orchestrations of the decade and the pathos was beautiful melody.
And u say, "thats it" ?????
hmm what happened to all raja fans? All listening to thiruvasagam and gone mellow?
ps: ennai kaalai vaari vittaal naan idhuvum seiven, innamum seiven. :wink:
