Definitely a great loss to us IR fans too.
Remember Sujatha was close to IR, since "Karaiyellam Shenbagapoo" days and during his "Media dreams" days, he worked with Raja for Bharathi and Paandavaas. Sujatha was one of the few to have got the chance to listen to Thiruvaasagam before its release and he gave a wonderful review of it in Vikatan's Kattradhum pettradhum. He was keen to have "Aalwar's songs" tuned by Raja.

No one can fill Sujatha's space... http://vigneshram.blogspot.com/2008/...o-sujatha.html

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

Neer Kumizhi, Naanal, Bama Vijayam, Anubavi Raja Anubavi, Ethir NEechal, Poova Thalaya, Iru Kodugal, Ethiroli, Punnagai, 100ku 100, Sollathan Ninaikiraen, Arangaetram, Apoorva Raagangal, 3 mudichu, manmadhaleelai, patina pravesam, avargal, nizhal nijamagirathu, varumayin niram sivappu, thillu mullu, thanneer thanneer, ek duje keliye, sindu bairavi, UMT, Punnagai Mannan, manathil uruthi vendum - something that comes to top of my mind.

Ninaithale Inikkum- I am yet to see a novel like this in Tamil or Indian industry. Dil Chahta Hai was close to this, not perfect!

Mr - Nayagan, Thalapathi - Waiting for 3rd strike. May be a remake/copy of American Gangster, *ing Rajni and Kamal!

And BTW, I absolutely hate KB as an individual for making his personal choices into movies (like Apoorva Raagangal!)

I still remember writer Sujatha's glowing review of the "panthuvaraLi" based modern concerto piece from "RajaParvai" in kumudham. Sujatha knew how to play musical instrumens like guitar. Like his class mate Abdul Kalaam , Sujatha's sharp musical knowledge came in handy while writing few music reviews.
They dunt make people like him anymore :( . Iam particularly aghast at TOI Bangalore to have spared just 2 lines announcing his demise , that too only today, where as a "thummal" of likes of SRK or Bachans would have made headlines

Yeah some of them are very good indeed! but KB was not able to come out of the hangover of DRAMA, Period. His understanding of Cinema as Audio-Visual medium was so so....
It was BR, Mahendran and BM trio that actually gave us Cinema in its complete essence. (Rudraih & John Abraham also can be included but their contribution in nos. were less)

Ninaithale inikkum - Sans the Theatre/Drama feel was a great attempt for those times.

The Best thing about him is, He writes everything in simple and lighter way, that you dont feel heavy even when the subject he handles is a heavy one. Just like IR Who makes all great music sound simple.

Ithu mathiri manithargal yaen Athiga kaalam Vaazha koodathu?!! konjam Bayamathaan irukku :cry:

GOVT. should sanction Cloning such people whom the society will need permanently.

Rajasaranam - a year ago, I had an interesting email interaction with the late Mr.Sujata on 'metaphysics and systems science' based on a research article published by a renowned systems scientist! in spite of what I assume must have been a busy schedule, he replied with patience and enthusiasm - hallmarks of great men! may his Soul find a better place!

also several years ago, I had met him at Prasad Studios (IR introduced me to him and Gnanarajasekharan then) during Bharathy rerecording - he was a very simple, humble person, and within minutes of introduction, asked me tons of questions about my areas of research - wanting to know more, genuinely inquisitive rather than pretending to understand and gain knowledge - such people are rare to find amongst the 'pop/consumer' culture grown present generation, IMHO

btw, it was at the same occasion, IR who was busy conducting the rerecording, was doing multi-tasking - correcting score errors, and also listening to us! at the end, IR had some interesting comments about Discovery, National Geographic and History Channels! apparently he watches these channels regularly and in fact, watches only these whenever he gets a chance! IR's approach to life in terms of knowing more, understanding better, implementing ideas creatively could easily be seen then

IR also later spoke extensively about events in Ramana Maharishi's life and his knowledge of most great seers/saints of India was/is astounding! for instance, he spoke about Sant Kabir!! I was taken aback and I shared with him what little I knew about Shri Ramakrishna Paramhans (I had to say something)- perhaps this approach towards understanding/ realizing things at a higher level and always seeking the same, is what is making IR take less interest in 'junk' movies ! therefore, am hoping for something remarkable from IR for "pazhassi raja" and "Manikandan" etc - I only wish Kamal cud somehow rope him for Marmayogi - Kamal IMHO, has a similar approach in terms of constantly striving to know more, though he might be an atheist!
