Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

AB went out of his way to wax eloquent about Raja sir, who was in an excellent mood and reciprocated the mega star’s praises by saying in English: “ Amitji is the heart and soul of Paa, he has lived the role of Auro and is absolutely fantastic. The screenplay of Balki based on a short and simple story is brilliant.”

I am still waiting for one stunner of an album by IR, which creates a music storm in telugu. He used to have such albums in 80s, where the whole state swayed to that album.Even Dalapathi was a hit. Antapuram, i think, was his last mega hit. all other albums, did find some admirers, but didnt make a major impact as such. I wish he dishes out one such album.and if having stars can guarantee that, then i wish some producer wakes up to book IR for a Nagarjuna/Venky film (given that chiranjeevi is busy otherwise ;) )

raagas,

What you say is true. Long back RS said that as far as Telugu was concerned Raja is a retired MD. His last hit being 'Anthapuram'. Personally I liked 'Shambu' but that didn't make a dent in the box office. 'Mallepoovu' to me was a lovely album with some excellent songs matching what he did in the 80s but unfortunately the movie went down the drain. The success of 'Om Shanthi' will depend a lot on how the movie fares in the box office.

BTW, the sales guy in the shop I buy in Bangalore was quite enthusiastic about 'Om Shanthi' saying the songs are good and he didn't like 'Suryakanthi'. He said 'Bagyada Balegara' and 'Prem Kahani' were better. So in case of 'Suryakanthi' too the reach will depend on the fate of the film. But I am enjoying 'Suryakanthi' quite a lot.

Though a fantastic rendition, no version of this song can be a patch on the original by Ajay Chakraborty (IMO this is the next best version). As an aside, the very idea of having a song in that situation was Raaja's if what i heard from a friend is correct, similar to "Chinnappa daas" (Kadalora Kavidhaigal). Enna oru understanding and vision :notworthy:
My friend says he remembers seeing Kamal say this in an interview. Won't be surprised if its thats indeed the case

1. Thambikku Endha Ooru, 'composition' (at least a part of it) was done from a hospital bed or something. Someone wrote it down from him it seems. Eerily similar to an episode in Mozart's life (as seen in the film Amadeus).
2. Guru (Malayalam) composition la kooda he was suffering from a serious skin infection. Remba sramathoda compose pannaaraam....

நந்தலாலா இசையை பாராட்டுகிறார் 'இ(ம்)சை' விமர்சகர் சாரு ....

For a change from Charu

நந்தலாலா எனக்குத் தந்த மற்றொரு ஆச்சரியம், இளையராஜா. அவரது பின்னணி இசை இந்தப் படத்தின் தொனிக்கு ஏற்றாற்போலவே சர்வதேசத் தரத்தில் அமைந்திருந்தது. இளையராஜாவின் இசை வாழ்வில் இதுவே அவரது உச்சபட்ச சாதனையாக இருக்கும் என்பது என்னுடைய அனுமானம். நந்தலாலாவின் இசை பற்றியும் எழுதுவதற்கு நிறைய உள்ளது. படம் வெளிவந்த பிறகே அதைப் பற்றியும் எழுத முடியும்.

:lol:

அய்யா தான் சர்வதேச தரக்கட்டுப்பாட்டு நிறுவனர் போல ..
எல்லாம் நேரம் தான்.. !

ராஜா இது போன்ற விஷயங்களுக்கு எந்தவித reaction ம் காட்டாமல் இருப்பது தான் அவரது உண்மையான ஆளுமையை காட்டுகிறது.
ஆனால் மிஷ்கின் கமல் இணையும் படத்தில் ராஜா இருப்பாரா என்பது சந்தேகமே..
