Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

BTW, this 'puthuppAttu' song is a new "CATCH" for me :-)

It has interludes repeated, a rarity among IR compositions!

(This now gets into a special club of songs - madhana mOha roopa sundari / pOttu vaiththa kAdhal thittam / one ponnar shankar song where interludes get repeated by IR)

The producers lost an opportunity, probably forever, by delaying the release just to get a proper theatre slot among the 100 crore hits. They should have taken the risk and released it with some good marketing, just like Barfi was released. Look at Barfi, despite huge criticism that it is plagiarised, the movie is a moneyspinner. Agreed that Barfi had A-list stars, but still, smaller films are also getting an audience these days. A small film like Bheja Fry, with no songs and with no A-list actor, was a super-hit. And Happi would have clicked, if they promoted it well Pch!

I have heard lot of people from literary circles raving about padithurai songs..I was praying that atleast the songs gets released. Even in the clips the song that bhavathirini sings is just out of the world..a song we are going to just worship.. Also that therodum veethiyile is divine to the core..

Director suga is a HCIRF..Happy for him

Cant wait for this

I thought there was a pooja for the Sathya Sai movie in Prasad studios last year on which the governor participated along with Raja Sir. Is that for another movie then?

Agree. Pankaj Kapoor having scored a golden duck with his maiden directorial venture last year (Mausam) also added further fuel to the fire. Unless Bhavna gets biggies with good marketing budgets like UTV to release Happi with rich promo campaign, I am afraid it may not get to see the light of day.

Isnt it sad.. that the industry looks at only the last film of an artist. Mausam had him as director not actor. and he is known for his acting skills. Why does this logic escape the buyers and distributors!
