IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

Fazil on IR (From Kumudam magazine - Font is Unicode)

நீங்கள் தமிழில் எடுத்தால் இசை இளையராஜாதான். அப்படி என்ன காரணம் இருக்கு இந்தக் கூட்டணிக்கு ?

இளையராஜா சுயம்பு. அவருக்கு எல்லாமே தெரியும். எதையும் மனசில் உள்வாங்கிட்டுத்தான் இறங்குகிறார். இன்னமும் இசையின்மேல் மாறாத காதல் இருந்ததுகிட்டே இருக்கு. அவருக்கு பாசிலுக்கு என்ன வேணும்ன்னு தெரியும். பாரதிராஜா விரும்புவது தெரியும். மணி ரத்தினத்தின் எண்ண ஓட்டத்தை அறிவார்.

ஆயிரம் கட்டடங்கள் செங்குத்தாக எழலாம். தஞ்சை கோபுரம்தான் உங்கள் பெருமையைச் சொல்லமுடியும்.

"ஆயிரம் கட்டடங்கள் செங்குத்தாக எழலாம். தஞ்சை கோபுரம்தான் உங்கள் பெருமையைச் சொல்லமுடியும்."

Impressive quote.

Thanks for the posting. "AAyiram kattidangal Senguththaga Ezhalaam. Thanjai Gopuramthaan Ungal Perumaiyai Solla Mudiyum"

Oru malayalikku therinja thamiz perumi "tamil tamil"nu maaradikkara thamizanukku theriyalae.

Thanks again.

thats what I liked about fazil's interviews - he talks like a poet - when talking abt his movies / themes / artists and ofcourse, abut IR.

In his earlier interview with the same magazine, they asked "Why IR ? Why not other MDs ?", he answered like "there is a difference between the mayakka nilai you get from dhyaanam, and what you get from using drugs"

And on another occasion he talked about not needing `puyal' as music for his films but `thendRal' and so choosing IR...

Where did you find this interview ?

ShankarLAL:
I watched this movie in Jaya TV just for Illayaraaja's songs; It is a Kamal-Sri Devi Movie of the 80s and I was not at all disappointed by Raaja.
The film has 4 melodious songs (could be rare)
1. Raaja kaanu - A beautiful SPB song sung with children. It is almost of the same class as Aadungal of Guru.
2. Kasthoori man - A fantastic song with melodious interludes. Reminds of Varuthu varuthu of Thoongathe thambi thoongathe.
3. Ilan kiliye - The best of the album with some English words in the song. As melodious as Nadiganin kadhali from Thaayillamal nanillai or KAviriye from Adutha Varisu.....
4. Thedinen - A fantastic song from Malaysia - just like Kodai kaala kaatre from Panner pushpangal.

I just wonder why these songs didnt become super hits - but as usual, IR's other songs should have been the reason :)

Dont miss SHANKARLAL - Even though the movie is a crap, songs are extremely melodious and typical of Kamal-IR's class.

vem, werent most songs of Shankar Lal by GA? I think IR scored for 1 or 2 songs.

I saw it in printed version !

Shankarlal was jointly composed by IR and GA. vem, you have missed the most important, freaky song "paadhi kaLin mayakkam". Only SJ could have carried those expressions and I must admit Kamal also did a fair job. I presume it has shades of Bhagesri
