The other one recently announced is Sathyan Anthikkads 50th film.
Although not authoratative, Interestingly, Wikipedia IR page carries a 2011 cell in "Hindi". For other languages even 2010 is not mentioned! Is the focus going to shift?!
According to news 'Mausam' doesn't have music of Raja. BSO has been used for 'Happi' only.
But the success of 'Paa' will bring more bollywood projects for raja.
The best thing about Paa 's sucess (Music) all over India is that it puts to rest people's doubt about IR's music connecting with NI audiences. This puts to rest claims of people that they move away from IR for commercial reasons due to IR's limited acceptability for the film to be marketed beyond south.Quote:

Somehow feel Paa's Pan India acceptability will change things for IR all over again.

Sure.
I don't trust these sites.
One site said that Gulzar said 'There's no cinema without raja'. Actually balki said those words.
Here in the given site, they have mistaken 'Happi' as Mausam , as pankaj is linked in both the films.
Actually , i'm a regular visitor of this discussion forum. U people give 'real' news , than those sites.
What I expect from raja is, he should come out from the shell (southern cinema) . He is one of very few composers in world who can understand the feelings of the characters and the depth of the given situations. He must do global projects. Language is certainly not a barrier for such a great musician.
Here in Delhi, my colleague (is from Bihar) is a rahman fan. But after listening to Paa he has become a raja fan. Actually local musicians i met here, praise raja. Problem is raja is like Hanuman, without knowing his own great talent. Jaambavaans like Balki are required.
That's All!

watched "PAA" this evening at an AMC hall (at last an IR-score in a decent theatre - but still, they were not very particular abt using the entire sound system effectively - i thought the bass levels were way too low -(
its a neat, clean, straight film, but with lots of deviations that could have been done without - Balki still cannot get away from his adman spirit, with the scenes still looking like advt frames fitted together - though the screenplay seemed much more jointed this time - Bachan is good, but just about that - given the hype the media is creating over his performance, i expected a superlative performance with brilliant subtleties, but they were few and far between (maybe am so much used to the big expressive eyes of Kamal doing out every emotion and Bachan has his limitations using his eyes) - the kids interplay was so hearteningly crisp and devoid of the 'artificial' aura that one usually gets to see in a Mani Ratnam film for example - the supporting cast were all equally good - the main plot of the politician meeting his long lost partner who mothered his child, looked like some poor corny plot from a Sidney Sheldon novel gone bad
now for the main reason I saw the movie - IR!
he restrains himself to using the harpsichord, some piano and strings and lots of synth in the first half - and simply goes ballistic in the latter half, particularly towards the last 30 min - wish Balki had given some space for a 'kadhalukku mariyadhai' style thematic score - maybe because the emotional tones were underplayed or perhaps balki isnt skilled enough to bring out the same, as a HCIRF, i felt IR cud have come up with more deeper stuff had the scenes packed more punch than this - having said that, there is an absolute beauty of a derivative score from the main 'mudi' - the entire song (until the end of the interlude) is played on the piano, guitar and strings when Abhishek and Vidya meet again - its so subtly done, that if you dont look for it, it will disappear in the background - also there are snatches of brilliant improvisations of the interlude motifs of the Shaan version of 'udi udi'
balki snubs at least two songs - 'gum sum' and the second version of 'mudi mudi' - overall, i feel that if balki had approached IR with the script and given him a free hand to come up with the script specific scores/tracks, instead of reusing his earlier tunes, the result wud have most likely been much better - but given this limitation of using a theme already used for some other situation, and also the tunes, IR has done a brilliant job (as usual)

Thanks to his highness Suresh iam getting hold of all non tamil releases of Ayya as soon as they are released.I remember watching SPB and Gangai Amaran in coffee with anu and they reminisced on how much the two brothers were in awe of Rahul Dev Burmans orchestration.After Sureshs' Suryakanthi gift I cant have enuff of Shreya Ghoshals 'Chan Channare' which has Pancham written all over it,the naughty playfulness of 'Yeh Ladka haye Allah',the Panchamda signature sax bits...as Suresh rightly pointed 'Thiss the new Raja'
