Ilaiyaraaja 1000 March 20th 3.00 p.m IST Vijay TV.
Very novel attempt by makers to release first 6 mins !
Man, what a BGM he has given for this. Has he tried this genre before? Totally apt for the scenes and recording/mixing sounds very good / new age/era. Especially check from 4:58 (and guitar at 5:42). Guitar version of "Raja Kaiya Vecha" sounds fantastic.
It seems the movie has BGM by IR and makers are trying to get one song.
thanks,

BTW, I am curious, did IR compose for the 6-minute footage shown on youtube or someone else did? He could have, but curious to know.

Watched the Part 1 of "ILaiyaraja 1000" from Vijay TV today.
Seemed to have all the grandeur and pomp as a superstar's new release.
It was simply enthralling to listen to Chitra and chorus sing "ennuLE ennuLE",
"kaNNan vandhu pAdugindrAn kAlamellAm". I cannot say the same about Mano , who made a mockery of "iLamai ennum poongAtRu". SPB and guitar Prasanna just freaked out on the stage with "iLaiya nilA".Poor Napolean was given a second chance, thanks to SPB's prodding, to get his second bgm act right and he lapped up the opportunity and delivered. Bala tried unsuccessfully to mask the opportunist in him by sappakattufying for the word "payan paduthal" ofIR. I hold him squarely responsible for giving a legend like IR in an utterly gory, violent, junk of a movie for his 1000th film. I only wish IR had taken Prakash Raj's "uLavachaaru biriyANi" as his 1000th. Prakash Raj proved himself to be a true "rasika" of IR's music be not trying to hog limelight or score brownie pounts by uttering some nonsense.
How many ever times I listen to "sundari kaNNAl oru seidhi" , it NEVER fails to amaze me. That is the stuff of classics!
KJY and SJ were conspicuous by their absence.
Felt exactly the same. TT was a very violent movie and I wish IR's 1000th was for a film that is pleasing and something you would like to remember for the rest of your life. Seems like Sachin's 100th 100 vs Bangladesh in a losing cause. Hmmm.. sometimes the legends just don't what they deserve :(

Very sad output.

Dochu
Same peeling.
On the other hand listen to Game kannada version and you will feel better. Raja will never let us and his creations to mediocre levels.
Game is growing on me each time I listen.
May be movie does not require more than one song (duet). Again commercial samarasam done to hold the movie for a few weeks to get better WOM I guess.
IR gets best BGM national award for Thaarai Thappattai.

How come it is awarded for last year when film released this year for pongal 2016.
Do they go by certification date?
இசைஞானி இளையராஜா அவரது வாழ்வில் ஏராளமான பட்டங்களையும், விருதுகளையும் வென்றுள்ளார். சிறந்த இசையமைப்பாளருக்கான தேசிய விருதை கடந்த 30 ஆண்டுகளில் 4 முறை வென்றுள்ளார். இப்போது ஐந்தாவது முறையாக தேசிய விருது அவருக்கு கிடைத்திருக்கிறது. அதுவும் குறிப்பாக அவர் இசையமைத்த 1000-ஆவது திரைப்படமான ‘தாரை தப்பட்டை’ படத்திற்காக இந்த விருது வழங்கப்பட்டிருப்பது மிகவும் பொருத்தமானது. அந்த படத்தில் மனதை வருடும் வகையில் இளையராஜாவின் பின்னணி இசை அமைந்திருக்கிறது. இது அவருக்கு மிகவும் பெருமை சேர்ப்பதாகும்.
சம காலத்திய இசையமைப்பாளர்களில் என்னை மிகவும் கவர்ந்தவர் இளையராஜா. மிகவும் எளிய பின்னணியிலிருந்து வந்து திரையுலகில் கண்டங்களை கடந்து சாதனைகளை படைத்து இசையுலகின் முடிசூடா மன்னராக திகழ்பவர். பலருக்கும் பல நேரங்களில் தனிமையை வெல்ல இளையராஜாவின் இசை தான் உதவியாக இருந்திருக்கிறது. இதற்கு நானும் விதிவிலக்கல்ல. அவ்வகையில் இளையராஜாவுக்கு தேசிய விருது கிடைத்தது எனக்கும் தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் மகிழ்ச்சியளிக்கிறது. -

A Big Congratulations to Maestro. Fifth National Award for 1000th Film. Indian Film Board and I&B Ministry can rename the Best Background Score category as "Isai Gnani Ilayaraaja Award". Long Live our Maestro Ilayaraaja.
A big congrats to Raja and a big thanks to awards committee for acknowledging his work..Happy for raja :)
I second Rajasekar's suggestion of naming the BGM award in Raja's name. He is above any contest.
Absolutely.
Who else can even know what is RR or BGS.
P Vasu rightly pointed out one of the traits in the recent felicitation ceremony.
He cited Chinna Thambi example and one of the crucial moments in the screenplay and how IR just stuck to his belief and let the audience fulfill the connection .
Wow, how much he has understood the medium of story telling, screenplay , narratives.
Same with Myshkins Nandhalala climax 30 mins. He carried the characters and the whole movie on his shoulders.
Prathap pothens first directorial " Meendum oru kadhal kadhai" . If we remove the soundtrack and RR that movie will look very Odd in places, Immature characters moving on the screen for 2.5 hours?
Metti- what a sound track . He outplays in few places and under plays where the daughters are on the screen emoting and living their characters (natural acting)
Aboorva sagotharargal - masterpiece RR start to finish
Geethanjali/ Idhyathai thirudathe- another master piece
How can we miss Nayakan/ Devar Magan/ Hey Ram- outstanding contribution and taking the screenplay to greater heights.
DM should have been his 4Th National award but for Blau mahendra who casted his vote the other way to encourage new talent!
For someone to just watch a silent movie , feel every frwme and encrypt that into his brain cells and within minutes start notations and by end of the day complete about 40% of the RR the same day? Who else can do it.
Except very few movies that took several days 99% of the times he has done it in 3 to 4 days and with live orchestra, no cut and paste or loops or stealing from music banks.
Hollywood musicians take months to complete one project. The greatest ones who win oscars travel with the movie from pre/ production and post production stages and take part in every aspect to know the movie , watch them in different phases of its production and keep improvising on their RR by adding or deleting the appropriate ones. For them it is only one project in that year and will spend the whole year chiseling every frame after watching it N number of times.
Our man watches once , 3rd day the movie is ready to go for prints. No corrections after that. My goodness.
It is very evident now , nobody can even come close to his achievements in this universe.
Others if they can cross 300 movies in their lifetime then that is greatly deserving on their part for having been in the field.
I missed out the other MFM gems
Olangal/ Guru/ Kaalapaani/ Pazhassiraja
Pretty decent job by a French guy in grasping the tune and reproducing it. Not heard on headphone, but the orchestra is also decent. Probably they are playing the original music as well??

Edit: Just heard it on headphone. Music/BGM is a mix of original plus super imposed??. Sounds nice :)

Not sure what GA was expecting. I thought TT songs were very good. BGM was extraordinary and richly deserved the national award. But songs were good too.
Prakash Raj will be debuting as director in bollywood with "Tadka". It is a remake of "Un Samayal Araiyil". IR will be composing for the movie.

If anything, Gangai Amaran has proven the argument that IR won this National Award, DESPITE his brother chairing the jury :)
Exactly my opinion as well.
He would have been under fire if not for clearing the air.
I watched the same video. Guy blabbers a lot. He is not upto the point. He wavers a lot.
God save us from such people who are on the selection panel.
What more recognition does music god require when the likes of BM , Mahendran , Adoor and other stalwarts of cinema and its craft have the highest respect inspite of being his peers.
Amitabh Bachan has highest respect and has not seen a talent and humble person at par with IR. NI film industry has ego , cut throat competition and backbiters and ofcourse not to mention their Vices !
Who on earth can compose and orchestra for 1000+ films and still do justice for each and every deserving project.
Game - Movie BGM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIGS...&feature=share
Thara Thappatai BGM released today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSGKz5mLA1o
I happened to watch the audio launch of “Theri” where Director Mahendran spoke about his debut appearance as an Actor/ Villain in the film. The introduction video of Mahendran had Raaja's signature music and songs. I always felt that Mahendran perhaps got the best juice out of Raaja as compared to Mani Ratnam, Bharathiraaja, Balu Mahendra, and Manivannan. As soon as I watched the segment, my memories went back to earlier interviews of Mahendran, especially a recent one given to News 7 Tamil (copied below). Mahendran talks about the importance of background score and how Raaja composed for "Mullum Malarum". As many of Raaja fans know, Mahendran and Raaja shared a special symbiotic chemistry for all his movies. Mahendran’s movies had excellent background scores to lift the mood of the film in sequences where key events happen. The drum sequence in “Uthiripookal” towards the end of the movie is awesome. You cannot hear such music compositions even in award winning Hollywood films. Mahendran is one of the few Indian cinema directors who opposes song sequences in films. He has always spoken against Indian films spending lavish production costs just for song sequences which happens only in India. All of Mahendran’s movies do contain song sequences and they are always part of the story and shot to highlight Ashok Kumar’s impeccable camera angles and lighting. Majority of Mahendran’s songs are shot as the lead characters are walking (Rajini & Deepa in Jhonny), engaged in conversation (Nandu) and in action (Nenjathai Killathe). "Mullum Malarum" had dance based song sequence as part of the story.
Now roll forward to 2016 where Mahendran has debuted as a villain in “Theri”. Based on the film’s review, Mahendran’s character seem to be the only saving grace. I was curious to hear the songs from “Theri” by Prakash Kumar and my reaction was the same. Is Theri’s songs the current standard of Tamil film music? Is it the lowest point in Tamil Film music wherein composers cannot stoop to much lower level to produce an album? Mahendran explains this phenomenon in his News 7 interview and explains the dreams and expectations of Tamizh people wherein we see grandiose architecture wonders in Tamil Nadu not seen elsewhere in the world including rich music/ dance creations from the region. Tamil films have churned out world class classical and fusion music albums over the years and now we are offered the lowest point in film music. You feel agitated and angry while listening to such songs, especially the one sung by T.Rajendar. Compare this song to many Kuthu songs composed by Raaja. I would like to hear from Raaja’s fans and folks who love real music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6fjSETI5D0
One of my best song sequences from Mahendran’s movies with impeccable cinematography and tune from Maestro, are “Nandu” film songs. This could be the only full Hindi song in a Tamil film conceived by Mahendran. Raaja should have bagged couple of National Awards for Best Background scores for Mahendran’s movies. Unfortunately our Indian Govt. didn’t create such a category until 2010 when Raaja won the first Best Background score National award for “Pazhassi Raja”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUI1FLexJrY
What a song .....
From Nandu.....
It is still fresh and pleasing.
Simple and eloquent.
Can't resist again and again from pondering......why IR is not even being recognized by Guinness? Even Susheela bagged a Guinness.
What's the point in offering awards posthumously?
Looks like Kamalhaasan's movie with IR will be trilingual (tamil,telugu and hindi). It seems the tamil movie name is suggested by IR. Not sure if the title is "Amma Appa Vilayattu" or something else!

It seems music producers "District 78" in the US will be working with IR on the music for SN (Sabash Naidu). Tentatively, it is decided to have 4 songs. Choreographers of "Step Up 2" will do some of the choreography for this movie. Probably this is the reason "District 78" has been roped in (on some reading, they seems to be dance based...)
I hope something exciting as always with Kamal/IR films. Just yesterday I was listening to MI. Great music!

From timeless classics to marketing tools - The Hindu article April 30, 2016
http://www.thehindu.com/features/cin...=entertainment
Why not create songs as an independent music album and release it separately? A film need not be hyped if it has a good story, screenplay and solid acting. Look at recent hit films released without any hype - Visaranai and Premam. Hence the shelf life of new tamil song is only 7 days. Film producers have a false notion that songs are mandatory for a film. Thank God, we have Ilayaraaja's musical hits which can sustain us for next 100 years. If you hear 2-3 Raaja's song multiple times every day, you need an entire life time to hear all his creations from 1050 films.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____
Songs are still important in Tamil cinema, but not the way they were
Music has always been an integral part of Kollywood commercial cinema and continues to be so. Nowadays, all major Tamil films follow a particular pattern to market their songs. First, a single track is launched at an untimely hour and it is then made to go viral. Every big film needs a hit number to create hype around it for it to be sold to distributors. Leading producer Kalaipuli Thanu after the audio launch of his Theri, was able to sell the film to distributors on his terms and conditions. Coimbatore-based distributor Cosmo Shivakumar says“The number of songs in commercial films has come down but a big film still needs a catchy number. It helps generate an opening. The audio release of Tamil films is a promotional tool, as the trade gets its first look of the film.”
Explains veteran producer Sathyajyothi Thyagarajan, “My film Thodari, starring Dhanush and directed by Prabhu Solomon, will have a big audio launch on May 8. The music by D. Imman is really good and the visuals are stunning. The hit combo of Prabhu Solomon and Imman has worked big time in the past. Once the distributors watch the songs and trailer, I’m sure the film will be sold out in all areas.”
In Hollywood and to a certain extent, in Bollywood, all major films are shown to the trade weeks before they are out for sale. But in Kollywood, there are no trade shows for star-driven movies before release, and the distributor himself sees the product only after he has purchased the film, and even then, only on the day of its release. Hence, the distributor’s choice of film is based entirely on the songs and the trailer during the audio launch.
How has Tamil music changed? Producer P. L. Thenappan says, “Tamil film music has become merely a tool to create hype around a film’s opening. Today, music directors and lyricists are dime a dozen, and are out to make at least one of their songs a chartbuster. Music is still important in commercial cinema, as it is generally thought that a hit film should have a chartbuster.”
Take, for example, the racy kuthu number ‘Jithu Jilladi’ from Theri. The song was targeted at Vijay fans, and the voice of music director Deva too helped . G. V. Prakash, who composed the song, says, “Theri is my 50th album and I took a lot of care to see that the music works well with the audience. When the album was launched, ‘Chella Kutti’ and ‘En Jeevan’ were the popular tracks. But after release, thanks to the film’s visuals, ‘Jithu Jilladi’ caught on like wildfire.”
A.R. Rahman’s music in Suriya-starrer 24 has also been slowly climbing the charts. Talking about the movie, Suriya says, “The music of 24 is one of its major highlights. In fact, the film itself took off once Rahman sir heard the narration and came on board. You will love the songs even more when you see the film.”
Another factor today is that there is a clear demarcation on what type of music sells in A, B and C centres. Ashok Parwani of Sony Music says, “. There is a huge difference between music liked by A-centres (urban Chennai and Coimbatore) and B and C-centres spread across Tamil Nadu. Take, for example, our album Rajini Murugan by D. Imman. The song ‘Yennamma ippadi panreengalaema’ worked best in cities, while in the rural B and C-centres, it was the soothing melody ‘Un mele oru kannu’ that became a bigger hit. Even the ringtone market suggests the difference in tastes between the city and rural markets.
Agrees Seenu of S Pictures, “Music What sells best in my area, which has a strong family audience, is the old Ilaiyaraaja style of melodies. Recently, Tharai Thappattai took a decent opening only because of its music. Among the new generation, D. Imman’s songs that have a rustic touch is closest to Isaignani’s music. His Romeo Juliet ran here because of its music.”
Lyricist Madhan Karky says, “Every song today has a target audience. My song ‘Google Google’ from Thuppakki worked best with the urban youth and IT crowd, while ‘Fy, Fy Kalachify’ from Pandiya Naadu was aimed at the rural listeners and it clicked. Rahman sir, however, asks me to enjoy what I’m doing rather than be bothered about target audiences.” It isn’t just Tamil films, of course. Hindi films have also been using music as a promotional tool. Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release, Fan, released with just one peppy number called ‘Jabra fan’, which sort of became an anthem during the promotions of the film. But the song was missing in the film, , in tune with the dark theme of the movie. The good news, however, is that Tamil music continues to be doing well, as the trade is clear that they will not back a project without songs. Every chartbuster produces a new music director, as both youngsters and veterans alike continue to hold sway over the listeners.
The teaser of Rajinikanth’s Kabali is out today (May 1), but grapevine is abuzz that producer Kalaipuli Thanu is planning a mega audio launch where the first visuals of the exciting new combination of Rajinikanth and Santhosh Narayanan will be unveiled.
Continuing my comments on the above article especially this line - "Among the new generation, D. Imman’s songs that have a rustic touch is closest to Isaignani’s music". I couldn't control my laughter over this observation. If you are a smart director like Sasikumar or Muthaiah, use their approach to think out of the box when shooting a song sequence. Remember "Subramaniapuram" movie using an entire song from "Kallukul Eeram" - Raaja's super duper platinum hit album. The 2013 movie "Kutti Puli" had this romance sequence beautifully directed and videographed by Muthiah. Ghibran wasn't even consulted by Muthiah when the song sequence was shown in the final production release. Could Ghibran or Imman compose such a song? It sounds so refreshing even after 35 years. The original song filmed on Rajini and Rati was shot in 1981. Just close your eyes and hear the starting sequence of guitar and humming. Ilayaraaja's music is light years ahead!

We've heard a lot about how Isai Gnani is really quick in completing the BGM parts of a movie - Here is a first-hand look at how he handles a small segment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4xa...ature=youtu.be
What is Amar doing? Everyone knows about his motor mouth skills. He should not be giving press conferences after National Awards were announced. The Award for Best Background score was given to the deserving musician and Amar should not have spoken about how the jury selected and compared other films. The Best Music award to M Jayachandran for "Kathirunnu Kathirunnu" is indeed shocking. There is nothing extraordinary in this song rendered by Shreya. Jayachandran deserved this award for some of his other songs. The entire National Award selection is always a controversy and I&B ministry does not want to announce all the nominees selected for the final round of awards. Raaja missed out his award for "Sri Rama Rajyam" songs because Siri Fort auditorium, where the movie was screened did not have the proper audio system and judges could not listen to the songs. This was an unfortunate incident. The Best Award went to some Bengali movie which had mediocre songs. Moreover Amar compared Oscar award giving fodder to Rahman fans. This has nothing to do with an international award given in US for English language films. I hope that Raaja's fans give the fitting response to Amar's loose comments and his statement that Tharai Thappatai songs weren't good.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/e...w/52175439.cms
"It looks like the controversy over Ilaiyaraaja's rejection of National Awards is becoming bigger. The music maestro had rejected the award for the best background score for his 1000th film Thaarai Thappattai. The composer stated that there cannot be two awards in the category of music- one for background score and one for music.
Now, his brother and member of the National Awards jury Gangai Amaren seems to have taken offense to the ace musician's statement. According to an online report, Gangai Amaren is disappointed in the composer and has said that he has let down Tamilians by not accepting the award. He added that if Ilaiyaraaja had informed earlier, the award could have been given to someone else. He asked if the composer would accept only an Oscar. He also added that that the songs in Thaara Thappattai weren't up to the mark."
These questions are for Gangai Amaran based on listening to his speech (Youtube below) :
1. Since you said, a Gnani should be above everything and IR should not opt for katcheri etc. Using your same logic, he was 100% right to decline this award too. He is above all. Did you berate when Janaki refused it?
2. GA said that if IR is not going to accept the award, it could be given to somebody else. Seriously? How is this logical? The award is given because he TOPPED all. And if he doesn't accept, you give it to next one? Doesn't that belittle the next person? What if that person refuses? You give it to the next one? and keep going on? What is the point of this committee then?
3. Tharai thappattai songs were not upto the mark? GA referred to Jingidi song and thakida thakida from TA. Both are based on the same raga. Because of that you deny an award? Isn't it a known fact that one can churn out the same music again and again using the same set? IR has been doing this for 3-4 decades and still remained on the top. What does that tell you? People accept him but you DIDN'T. People matter and not your personal opinion. So you are ok, if one steals from western, gets fame, and then hops onto international awards? How is this right?
4. Lastly, being in the committee, it is a conflict of interest on commenting about this. This is a biased opinion. With such bias, how can you confirm (with clear conscience) that you will work neutral in future? What if IR's BGM comes up again? You have already disrupted the functioning of the committee.

About Julian Karikalan meeting IR for LALO (love and love only) music:
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper...cle8577156.ece
"Like many growing up on a staple diet of Tamil film music in the 1980s, Julian Karikalan is a big fan of composer Ilaiyaraaja. So, when he completed work on his English film, Love and Love Only , Julian wanted to rope in the maestro to compose music.
But it wasn’t going to be easy. That’s why Australia-based Julian took a different route rather than the time-tested one.
He completed a rough cut of the film and then came to Chennai to meet the composer. Ilaiyaraaja watched the entire film, featuring Rohit Kalia and Georgia Nicholas in lead roles, without reacting. And at the end of it, he just smiled.
“He asked me to wait outside,” recalls Julian. The waiting — for more than a couple of hours — made the filmmaker terribly anxious, but there was little he could do but wait.
And then, Ilaiyaraaja called him inside, and what he spoke, slowly and clearly, is something Julian will remember for the rest of his life.
“Your approach is very different,” the composer told Julian, “From the making, the writing, to the distribution plan, you have a different approach to everything. If it were the usual kind of film, I would just do it immediately. But for this, I don’t know what music I should give; I just know that it should be very special. I will call you as soon as an idea strikes me. ”
The filmmaker felt blessed hearing that, and the wait continued. Very soon, he was called and a few sessions later, he had got what he wanted… 21 tracks!
And all that in less than a week. Julian’s admiration for the composer has increased many times after the musical sessions. “Without his music, my film wouldn’t have had the viewing experience it has now,” he says.
There are two songs in the film (the song ‘Am I in Love’, performed by Rachael Leahcar, was released online) and it thrills Julian no end that Ilaiyaaraja chose to devote time for this project.
“Once I saw the edited film, I knew I had to go to him. It was at that same time I saw a YouTube video of him saying that he was willing to support deserving newcomers. I felt he was speaking to me personally.”
The film, which talks about the realities of student life in Australia, is slated for release soon. “Once people in India are familiar with the project, I wish to do a multiplex-only limited release and then explore the paid online market,” he says."

Agni Natchatram to be remade (again) in hindi by Bejoy Nambiar (director of Wazir hindi movie).
"...One of the highlights of Agni Natchathiram was the music by Ilaiyaraja which was recreated note-by-note by Anand-Milind in Vansh. Apparently, Bejoy will also revisit the original score by Ilaiyaraja in his version of Mani’s melodrama..."
