sooryan (MalayALam) album may be the next one to come out...
Today's DC carried an article on Chenni Kum. It seems Balki is going to direct a new movie called 'Pa' with Big B and Abhishek playing Father-Son roles. Will Ilayaraja score music for this movie? One more movie for IR in Hindi??
I will be glad if it is by IR, but my strong feeling is that it will not have music by IR.Quote:

Chenni Kum is releasing on 25th May. Audio is still not out, I guess.. Will there be enough time for the songs to reach the masses?? (According to Balki, movie has excellent melodies) One more IR effort in Hindi going waste??
This time, less probability that it will be a waste. Because atleast for Amitabh, people will see the film..but still not sure if the hindi audience will still appreciate the music..
Hearing the songs hmm...one romantic and one sad version of mandram vantha thendralakku....kuzhal oothum kannanukku remixed in a hip fashion and jote jote joteyaali from kannada film geetha sounds abit modernised..its just samples with no prelude or anything...guess have to wait for the audio to come..:D
Listen to the songs here dudes Raaja is ROCKING
http://www.cheenikum.com/
The Website Says:
"Possibly the greatest composer Indian cinema has ever produced. Ilaiyaraaja has composed music for over 850 films, most of it for south Indian films. His tunes have been merrily, freely adapted by many of Bollywood's original musicians. Today, this 64 year old genius is as fresh, as brilliant and as enthusiastic composing score for his first major original Hindi film. Only because he liked the script."
The samples are sweet to us, no doubt...it's not surprising because all the tunes are already embedded into our minds, hearts...
There'll be very few DF'ers who are not familiar with mandRam vandha thendRalukku, kuzhaloodhum kaNNanukku & vizhiyilE maNi vizhiyilE...
Having said that, I'm sceptical whether these will strike a chord with our northie friends:-( Hope they do...
I hate to be a naysayer, but for some reason, while I can listen to the current rhythm arrangements of Raja and even like them a bit, I'm not sure whether I'll ever "love" them...everything else is fine, but Raja's recent rhythm / percussion arrangements turn me off...Take the case of Ajantha also, the few seconds of "Asaya kAththula" beats in one of the interludes of an average song make me hate the rest of the whole album...("why can't Raja do such innovations any more"...)
I strongly suspect he "sub-contracts" the percussion / rhythm arrangements now...and that too a sub-par contractor:-(
The remix of "Jotheyali.." reminds us how IR's magic is timeless.
But as app_engine has put it, I really doubt the music sense of our dear northies :)
Anyways, I would have been happy if "Kuzhaloodhum.." had been avoided..
And the lyrics part seems to be poor. Sameer has struggled to put words for the south indian tunes..
A number of songs that are continuously on my car have really lovable rhythm / percussion arrangements by Raja (oldies of course)...
-the drum twists when SPB sings 'nAn dhAn sakala kalA vallavan'
-the mild chord based rhythm for the pallavi of 'kodiyilE malligappoo' turning into a strong tabla-bass guitar-chords combo during interludes and saraNam
-the surprise "kick" drums that take off in the prelude of 'muththAdudhE, muththAdudhE' with electric organ sounds, creating great ambience, after a lacklusture jass drum beginning
...I can keep talking like this...why there's nothing like that but what sounds a programmed, unimpressive beat pattern...as in the case of 'cheeni kum'? In comparison, even the original mandRam vandha had lovely jass drums...
I yearn for another Raja score with powerful thavil, urumi, tabla, mridhangam and such sounds, recorded at really high decibels - even eclipsing other instruments...something like the beginning of 'adiyE manam nillunnA nikkAdhadi' or 'pOdu thandhAnaththam' (a relatively less known song from nalla nAL)
Manram vantha :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Kuzhaloothum kannanukku :thumbsup:
Vizhiyilae :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
So, only 3 songs? any other fresh score??
What is the diff between Cheeni kum song and Sooni Sooni song :roll:
Interesting trailer and interesing info "Amitabh bachchan has sung under IR"
Only four songs? Long back I had posted a link of Sudesh Bhosle interview wherein he says he has sung for IR in Cheeni kum, but that song does not seem to feature in the list of songs. Also remember reading somewhere that Madhushree has sung a song in this movie.
I wish the samples had atleast a little of the interlude. Only "Jaane" has a glimpse of the first interlude...that too strictly a glimpse.
Shreya Ghosal has done justice to all the tunes I should say. Vijay Prakash (is it the composer?) has sung in this album and also has sung in the kannada version of Ajanta. Good effort I should say. Listen to the strings backup when he sings the pallavi at the end.
Despite a little of synth stuff, there are lots of strings usage, so I am eager to listen to the complete album. Also eager to listen to Amitabh singing for IR. He has done a great job in Rozana for Vishal.
thanks,
Krishnan
Has 7 tracks in the CD. 4 full songs, Baatein hawa is repeated with mild variation and there are 2 instrumentals - a theme and a sax melody. No Sudesh Bhosle. Amitabh doesn't sing much, more like speaking.
Audio due shortly. My info is from an insider, so don't go around looking for the CD today:-)
But whether people in Bollywood look forward for Audio releases as we do in the south for example Rajini movies etc ?
Here in the south we have big release functions for even junks :)
For this album, it will not be much, but for AB's presence. Bollywod has much bigger music launches but audience looking forward to them happens quite occasionally - depends on the number of lead stars, composer's last hit etc.
The last big bash - audience hype I recall was for The Train (tremendous excitement, at least online!) and Adnan's latest, Kisi din. Himesh's Aap kaa surroor also had a frenzied group waiting!
what bugs me real bad is a lesser mortal like AB's image likely to be usurping that of a genius (IR)!
irir123,
We can't help it. It happens every where in every field. That is the magic of on screen appearance and the stupidity of people.
How many people know about greater mortals like scientists than lesser mortals like Nameethaa, Asin etc ? :wink:

Somehow I missed to see that he might have made three different statements (sentences). He probably did not sing in "Cheeni Kum"

IR should not be remaking his songs always. It does not speak high volumes of him.
Mayakannadi and Ajantha were not that great..
I am still trying to find out whats great abt ajantha..
This remake is due to request from the director...its better to remake rather than present songs like dheemi dheemi and go unnoticed :exactly:Quote:

Ajantha absolutely is one of the best albums of IR in the recent years.
The best thing I liked about the ablum is the variety.
The best of the album is Thoorigai indri and Ilamai..
Stumbled upon this link which says Geethanjali/Idhayathai Thirudadhe is getting dubbed into Hindi as "Love for Ek duje ke liye" and due for release in June 2007. I think, remade version of IT was a flop in Hindi.
http://www.screenindia.com/fullstory...ntent_id=15677
Quoting relevant content:
"After the release of several mass appeal,action packed entertainers like Diler, Bajrang, Mard, Laawaris, Loha, Goondaraaj, Rakhwala, Mission Vande Mataram, Nagina and Ghatak, Sajid Qureshi has now taken pains to bring the Mani Ratnam classic Telugu-Tamil blockbuster Geetanjali, starring Nagarjuna and Girija in Hindi, titled Love For Ek Duje Ke Liye. This National Award winner has the melodious songs from maestro Ilayaraja and is all set for release during June 2007. Large-scale publicity is being planned with the films designs currently being scrutinized to give the best ever exposure of a Mani Ratnam film till date. Even the promos of the film will be given a master touch that only a master director like Mani Ratnam deserves and all this planning is being single-handedly conceived by the producer himself who has been tirelessly producing Hindi dubbed ventures from the cream of South makers of late. Many distributors are making a beeline at his office to have a dekko at the promos and other publicities of his next fifteen films."
Anyway, IR usually does not get involved in the songs recording of dubbed movies.
I dont understand why least importance is given to the title of a dubbed movie. From the title itself one can make out that its a dubbed movie. This happens to a dubbed movie from any language to any language. Unimaginative are those which are getting dubbed within India. Hilarious are those when chinese movies gets dubbed into Indian languages :) I just cannot stop laughing when I see a chinese movie in tamil (Vijay TV), be it title, dialogues or fight scenes. Sorry for getting a little out of topic here.
thanks,

...music is melodious, says the producer...what about the audience?...let's wait and see...(we know it's nice...yet...)
Thalaivar is back with amazing rework of his orchestration and two instrumentals showcasing his understanding of what theme music really means.

Listen to the songs at
www.123musiq.com/CheeniKum.htm
its a good album..no doubt about it....for a change rajas synth sound is not irritating...it seems to me he has gone for synth and real stuff..depending on songs.and interludes.(only as far as bass and percussion are concerned..although.im not sure about the bass part)..overall a good album by any standards(old raja new raja hindi audience tamil audience hard core ir fan standards and..Im quite sure even Vijayr would not feel too negative about this album..although it might be a huge surprise if he says anything positive about it.). I also have a gut feeling it might end up being a popular album even in the north.
That Sax melody....sounds very familiar. Any idea if thats part of an existing Raja tune?
i was wondering the same.until I realised maybe it was because it appears as a background in the trailers..which came out a few months ago..it was so catchy that i noticed it in trailer.
it could also be because it is somewhat similar(in a remote way) to the sax bit in one of the interludes of solla solla..song from ellam inba mayam.
wonderful album!
Though all the tracks are v.v good ones, Liked the Theme melody a lot :)
Vinodayatra songs doing good
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/m...cle/30969.html
Saw this song on TV too.The picturisation is good and gells well with the song
hi i couldn't get the album in Chennai :sad:
saw Cheeni kum trailer and a song in Top 20 at Zoom TV as new arrival
hi any fresh tune?
IR has simply went beserk and stuffed the album with RICH RICH orchestral ornamentations!! perhaps that will be toooo much for people across the Vindhyas ? whatever be the case, am itching to get the CD!
the second interlude of "baatein hawa" has a stunning racy, rock piece followed by an equally stunning jazzy piece! IR rocks!
"Jaane donaa" has a terrific piano opening! which is taken over by a short strings section and then again the piano! WOW! what a beautiful version/adaptation of the original - the 1st interlude is SWEET and again the strings are mind-blowing! and the tune would/should be absolutely appealing even for Northies! Shreya's voice is as usual is magical!
"sooni sooni" - who is this Vijay Prakash ? is he the same guy who rendered "pon maney kobam" in "Oru kaidhiyin dairy" ? - in the 1st interlude IR works an amazing theme - and the rhythm is more subdued! why do the strings sound different in this album (like in "andha naal gyabagam" from a recent Balu Mahendra's film) ? are they from natural violin ensemble, or synth stuff (are the bass lines synth/keyboard stuff too?) - IMHO, for the Hindi version of the immortal "mandram vandha", I would have preferred if IR retained the rhythm/percussion portions of the interludes and the stanzas
the firt theme melody is vintage IR - piano-based - and a 'hip,hip,hooray' strings section - the 1st interlude: keys play the 'cheeni kum' motif and then the piano comes back to the main theme - for a long time, we are gonna be dissecting/discussing the counterpoints, chords styles used in this piece..
Ha - the last sax piece - touche - IR takes a jazzy bow! oh boy, I do know that tune - but am not able to figure which piece it is from!
overall, sumptously rich in harmony, piano and strings! let us wait and see the verdict from the listeners to this Paul Mauriatish-Henry Mancinish album from IR
but for HCIRFs - GRAB THIS ALBUM!
Hey guys, that sax theme tune is 'ilamai idho idho...' :D love, Vinatha
Yo guys Thats 'En iniya Pon nilave' :wink:
"pon maane" is sung by Unni menon! (I guess its his first song for IR)Quote:
