general question... Didnt raaja use kaanada for poo maalai vaangi vandhaan from sindhu bhairavi?
pon enben is darbari kanada. and yes poomalai vangi vandhan is in kaanada. also marugo marugo from sathileelavathi is also in kanada.
cant agree that darbari kanada is used for only unhappy mood. vaali is good at thamizh. and he knows about music but not an authority on the subject.
kanada uses 'periya dha' whereas darbari kanada uses 'chinna dha'. this is the main difference and both have many common phrases.

Dhoni Special - esp check the 2nd part from 02:20 onwards where Prakash Raj showers praises on you know who :)
The last part 2 mins sees IR speaking about the movie.

I saw a small video clipping on Dhinathanthi website (that plays when you visit their site) in which IR / Prakashraj are featured.
rAsA tells that Prakashraj had made him do the BGM "like those old days" (acknowledges that it's good for him as he need not suffer the boredom of sitting idle...per the clip, he used to write the score in 30 min and then wait the whole day for "others to conduct and record")
Thanks for the links skr! Eagerly waiting for the music and the bgm.
This whole 'magic creation' process has been explained time and again by every other filmmaker working with the man. I madly want to witness this once, at least once.

DhONI audio launch happens in Anna cenetary Library today - any idea what time and if its open to all ?
Mumbai Ramki and Others
I went to Vijay TV office and got the passes . Show is at 5.30 PM , there are still quite a no. of free passes still available.
Try rushing there soon , you just might be able to get if you are lucky .
SKR , pallikaranai irundhu romba kastam sir - Any help here pls ???
Ayyo , you should have just told me around a couple of hours ago , i could have helped .
I am back home now.
Anyhow will try asking if anybody got any extra pass .
Do PM me your no.
If i have any news regarding passes , will let you know.
However if you know anyone who stays near Nungambakkam , you can ask them to get for you.
All they require is the name and mobile no.
Skr , got it . went to their office . It was over . Contacted one guy there and he guided me to another guy and went .
DHONI - HIGHLIGHTS
1) Raaja was sharp at 5 30 PM almost but the function started only at 6 45 PM - a movie for children should broadcast a correct message
2) Parthipan - excellent intro of raaja and prakash raj with his usual style of verbal volleys ( இசை ஞானியை அறிந்ததால் நான் மாகா ஞானி )
3) The music they played when they opened the orchestra was from the movie itself - splendid !!
4) KB , Mahendran , Balu mahendar, RV udhayakumar, KS Ravikumar, Radha mohan , naasar were other dignatries
5) When Raaja spoke , he told this ... They were composing for the ' naan oru sindhu , kavadi sindhu' - Raaja started giving lyrics for the song . On hearing this KB , started getting excited and told ' அனந்து , இங்க வா சீக்கிரம் வா , அந்த டைரி இங்க கொண்டு வா .. என்ன அச்சர்யம் பாரு, நான் எழுதின வரியும் அதே தான் .. இது எப்படி முடியும் ?' .. Raaja now comments 'ஒரு டைரக்டருக்கு என்ன வேணும்ன்னு தானா கொடுக்கற்து தான் இசையமைப்பாளர்..நீங்க கேட்டீங்கன்னா அது சரவண பவன் ' - there was a big roar after this !
6) Too much praise for raaja , after some point i bbecame bored on those things
7) Nasaar was too interesting . He explained how the 'Thendra;l vandhu ' song came . Initially when illayaraaja sang the tune , he didnt understand and so raaja asked him to come in the evening - when he listened to teh full piece , he asked for forgiveness to raaja ( he told this excellently with humor , due to laziness im not quoting all that )
8) They played all 4 songs ... out of 4 , i loved the last song that raaja sang - just fantastic interludes and the tune itself . Other three songs were also good and had vintage raaja elements very similar to Mayilu style and probably more vintage. 'Sambandhan illa' was passable , ' odam ' song was good and the other one was similar to kadhuluku Mariyadhai hoem song ( aandha kuyilin paatu )
9) They showed 2 video songs - both were good . One was prabhu deva lip syncing to ' sambandham lla' song and other was the daughter reaching puberty .
Nice to know Mumbai Ramki that you made it to the show
I was highly impressed by the songs , esp the one sung by Surmukhi and the solo by Raaja himself.
Nassar's speech was just amazing , my respect to the man for his respect towards Maestro. You guys have to see this , he was just superb.
Raaja was at his usual witty and philosophical best . Nice to see him explaining and even singing bits from Sindhu Bhairavi.
That Re-recording was Raaja territory and i expected it to be mindblowing and he didnt disappoint.
Only disappointment for me overall was that there were only 4 songs , i expected atleast 6.
Great reviews MR and skr. Thanks. I thoroughly miss all these. :sad:
:lol: how true!Quote:
ஒரு டைரக்டருக்கு என்ன வேணும்ன்னு தானா கொடுக்கற்து தான் இசையமைப்பாளர்..நீங்க கேட்டீங்கன்னா அது சரவண பவன்
Thank you Ramki for dhoni's audio launch report. Dhoni looks promising for Raja's 2012, hopefully the movie makes a commercial hit which is very important for medium budget movie makers to turn back to Raja. He is still productive and willing to give so, there is nothing wrong in extracting as much music as we can.
Mayilu recording was a re-telecast on kalaignar TV. they showed this program 2 years ago. But still nice to refresh, thanks for this as well.
V_S ,
The orchestration was mindblowing , i was immersed in the songs .
There were some beautiful counterpoints and a fugue in one of the numbers.
Many of us had tears in our eyes when they played the video of the sad song.
The impact of the songs are still reverbrating and i just cant wait to grab a copy of the cd.
If u thought Dhoni or Prasad to be IRs' first 2012 movie release, wrong.
As per today's newspaper ad, "Sengkaathu boomiyilae" is releasing on Feb3rd.
There were lot more incidents which happened during the event which is difficult to recall.
However one of his fans has written a bit of what conspired last evening.
Hope they telecast the event on Vijay soon.
Pasting some of it
When I saw the clip with and without music, I realized that Raaja has changed his approach to rerecording. Just I reminded me the words of IlaiyaRaaja spoken during Azhgarsamiyin Kuthirai movie launch. Raaja said I had to change my approach due mixing problem later on.
This clip was greater than any Hollywood film in terms of visuals. So what will be the contribution of IlaiyaRaaja you can imagine! As told by Prakash Raj, the visuals only communicated 20% and the remaining 80% by IlaiyaRaaja's Rerecording!
Usually I speak only of IlaiyaRaaja and I will not speak of any other music director. But I have say this and no other way for me! "If anyone else (even Hollywood composers) have done the rerecording for the same clip, they could have ended up only with music expressing emotions in the visuals. But Raaja has made the audience to experience the emotions (on their own) in the situation. That means, Raaja's rerecording only takes you inside the movie whereas others rerecording only expresses the emotions. Raaja already told that music only can take into the movie and it only creates the relationship with the movie and the audience!
During the speech, important anecdote quoted by Raaja. During the composing songs for Sindhu Bhairavi, Director KB said the situation for the Naan Oru Sindhu song; IlaiyaRaaja came with spontaneous tune with words and started singing "Naan Oru Sindhu, Kavadi Sindhu". Director KB was shocked and started shivering. KB asked Ananthu to bring the dairy. With shivering hands, KB flipped pages and shown a page to Raaja. In that page KB has already written that for this situation lyrics can be written as 'Naan Oru Sindhu Kavadi Sindhu". Raaja simply replied that when you come to me I have to give exactly what you need, so it has come like th
Also Raaja felt that he was blessed by Thiagarajar Swamigal. That is when he composed the tune for the song Mari Mari Ninne, Raaja was thinking of bringing a Telugu Lyricist to write the lyrics since he has only notes or swaras written. KB also agreed to bring one such person. But suddenly Raaja thought whether he could check ThiagaRajar Swamigal's keerthanas. So he took three books of Thiagarajar's Keerthana and found that this "Mari Mari Ninne matched well with the Rhythm pattern and also matched the requirement of half-note delay start! (Technical people can correct me here)! Raaja said it was the blessings of Thiagarajar Swamigal that Thiagarajar swamigal has already written lyrics for his tune!
Nasser shared the experience during Avatharam Composing! He has already said this during Music Messiah Release. In front of Raaja he has to edit two things! Missed things by Nasser: When Raaja played the tune in Harmonium, Nasser was shocked and felt Raaja was giving him "Eena Swaram". Imagine the Thendral Vandu tune in Harmonium. The tone color of the Harmonium and Raaja's voice dynamics sound very bad to Nasser. Nasser was to ask for another tune but could do that due to fear. Just Nasser able to say, please increase the tempo of the song. Raaja smiled and asked Nasser to come back by evening. Nasser came back in the evening. Raaja played the song for him. The song started with chorus, "Thana thantham Thana Thanthum". Nasser was happy and was thinking that since myself (the Director of film) did not like the tune Raaja changed it. In few seconds, Nasser heard the earlier tune but this time with words and orchestra. Nasser was taken aback and realized that he insulted the Genius called Raaja and Raaja's tolerance of his insult by asking to increase the tempo. Nasser simply fell on the feet of Raaja and started weeping like a kid!
Mahendran said No Raaja's rerecording No Mahendran's movies! If people talk about Mahendran film it is only due to IlaiyaRaaja!
Nasser also shared another very interesting incident.
Seems he was going by Car from Chennai to Chidambaram and he had to pass a lot of villages on the way.
While going on the way , in temples , tea kadais and other places , lots of songs were being played.
It seems he then decided to consciously count the no. of tracks till the destination.
These were the results which he found
28 songs of IR , 7 of MSV and 3 from ARR.
He then remarked . "the people in villages still live only on IR's music" .
I went to the first rowwhen this was told - Raaja had a stern look at his face disapproving these comparisons - the smile came only when he said about villages love IR musicQuote:

Song List of Dhoni
Chinna Kanniley - Naresh Iyer , Shreya Ghoshal (Sung by Surmukhi during the event)
Vaangum Panathukkum - SPB (Sung by Haricharan during the event)
Thaavi Thaavi Pogum - Illayaraja
Vilayaattaa Padagotty (M) - Hariharan
Vilayaattaa Padagotty (F) - Shreya Ghoshal (Sung by Anitha in the event)
Wov, thanks a lot skr and MK. The 'missed' feel now compensated :). CD is available in store? though available oline here
Hmmm. Looks like Naresh Iyer finally sang under Raja's baton!!! In 'Coffee with Anu' she had asked him to sing his favorite song. Since he had sung many hit songs for Rahman I was sort of sure he would sing a Rahman song. I was surprised when he said one of his favorite songs was 'ae zindagi'. He went on to sing that and also told that it was his dream to sing for Raja. Good.
The numbers may reflect the age group demographic of people in TN villages. MSV fans(rather sivaji, mgr paattu fanatics) neRaiya seththu pOyiruppAnga, arr fans migrate Agi iruppAnga for job etc. After 20 years, if you drive through the same villages, who knows "koduvaa meesai aruvaa paarvai" etc might be played with nostalgic enthusiasm?
Thanks skr for the detailed report about the programme. So, Shreya again with two songs? Good.:D

Some great news folks
ILAIYARAAJA, GAUTHAM TO JOIN HANDS
The music maestro reveals he will be working with one of K-Town’s most soughtafter directors
Shankaran Malini
The fact that the Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja captures listeners with his evergreen music even today makes every filmmaker want to work with him. And, the latest to team up with the Isaignani is Gautham Menon.
Confirming this news to CT is Ilaiyaraaja himself, who says, “I have two films that I will commence work on shortly. One will be for Gautam Menon and the other for Suresh Menon. The discussions are in process and will get working soon,” he says. This will be the first time that Gautham will be working with the legendary composer, for he has only used the tunes of Harris Jayaraj and A R Rahman thus far.
Ilaiyaraaja also reveals another interesting piece of news. While he has composed music for Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and even Marathi films so far, he will soon commence work on a career first. “I will be scoring music for the first time for a Punjabi film. This is the remake of the classic Tamil film Mouna Ragam,” he shares.
When we quiz him on whether he would use the timeless tunes of the Tamil original, which were also composed by him, he smiles and says, “That we would have to wait and watch. At a time when the music industry is seeing so many developments technologically in terms of music, with different kinds of music coming together, I have stuck to my guns and it has worked for me thus far.”
