WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURATION OF THE SONG§! woooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuah 'ayyengaru vettu"
it was a long time that i don't see actress dress the custums indians in tfm. fortunately, shankar is in tfm to keep indian custums

kamarajc,
I guess u have got me wrong..as I am writing to u - I am listening to one of my all time fav song - Ye Chilipi from Gharshana - which made me fall in luv with Asin..and I was mad abt her just because of this song!! I appreciate good music and I agree HJ has given 'some' good songs..but the question is when did he give his last good song? When did he last give a great song that can be heared infinite number of times..the malai malai song was composed 2 yrs back..Lets hope he gives some great songs in Vetayadu Vilayadu..

How much did AV give for Gentleman, Indian and Muthalvan?

Why are you guys so angry at HJ??? I think he's an awesome MD, and pls don't always compare him with ARR just to pull him down. Look at him for what he is.....

Arjuna ,
Thats a good question ....
Let me test my memory ...

Gentleman - 50 /100
Indian - 52/100
Mudhalvan - 50/100

I think the highest ever given by AV were for these movies ....

1.Maha Nadhi -60/100
2.Heyram-60/100
3.Mugam (?)-60/100

MR,

Devar Magan 63 :?

Unfortunately, in the recent past.. walking through this thread has never been a pleasant journey. But if I am asked for a reason to come back again and again only to get disappointed - 'I dont mind paying this price for the music that I enjoy'. No pun intended - there are some people in this thread who have had fun only in mud-slinging and word-bashing on the creators who are really loved by music lovers.

I am an ardent fan of IR. I doubt anybody or anything will challenge my infallible opinion about IR. There are lot of things that has culminated. It is not a song, instrument or an interlude that makes one a fan of IR. I am equally dumbstruck and mesmerised by the genius work of ARR. I am surely not uncomfortable to see ARR's work with awe though I am a fan of IR. If IR gave the best of my home to this world, ARR gave the best of this world to my home. I love ARR too, I am not an ardent fan of ARR as I am of IR.

Having said that, these masters who are ABLE are just not AVAILABLE today. Dont take my words literally. I said they are not available in right projects and in right times. Here comes the bid and I am enjoying the music of HJ. I need not measure the works of HJ based on the yardsticks set by IR and ARR. They are in different realms. Such an act would be indignifying not only to HJ, but also to ARR and IR.
When talking about the musicians who are ABLE && AVAILABLE, I love the music of HJ too.

Just one point on this comparison stuff - what are we trying to prove on talking about IFs and BUTs. "Alli Arjuna"'s music was inferior to "Kadhal Mannan" or "Parthaen Rasithaen". But, would it not be ridiculous to say that ARR is inferior to Bharadwaj. Today, you say 'IF ARR would have composed...'.

The point - IR and ARR are well above the crowd. There are masters not just nationally, but internationally. They have in them all that takes to join the league of likes of Mozart or Beethoven. Please stop comparing them with others and save some time.

Now coming to the Master of Ceremony - HJ. Guys, HJ is NOT a crap (I hate this slang though). He has got stuff. Some of my ever favorite numbers in Indian music are from HJ. I still enjoy the sheer pleasure I find in the music of HJ. 'Mazhai Mazhai' is being played atleast 3 times in my home for the past 3 weeks. But, still we enjoy it. When in solitude, nothing rejuvenates me like 'Moongil Kaadugale'. When me heart longs for a romantic upbeat, it finds it company in 'Ye Chilipi (Gharshana)'. And there are many more that deserves a mention.

There are lots of ways to grace ARR. And, bashing HJ is surely not one of the ways. HJ's consistency is unbeaten by the surprise elements from VS, YSR or Bharadwaj. Dinesh, Arjuna and the likes.... one friendly request.. - Dont take HJ for granted, you might regret one day. I am not a moral police - But dont give others an image that ARR fans are barbaric and have no tolerance to admire the genuine creative music of others. Otherwise, ARR will regret one day for churning out more intolerant fans than wonderful musical masterpieces.

u know,its shocking how people missed some of my messages in other threads which shows i do like hj,but just dun like him when he uses ARR music...thats it...ive enjoyed Laysa Laysa & 12b songs from hj allot during 2001,when ARR music was limited to tamil film industry,all im saying that for a shankar movie these music isnt the 1 we need...yes if Hj gave these tunes to other dirs i would agree its great,but look at shankar's audio list,it doesnt stand inthe list..im alwiz comparing withen a limit...lets take it in ur point,the combo of saran & baradwaj is alwiz very good,and i never did put alli arjuna in that list coz it doesnt stand in that list,eventhough its by my fav md ARR...but ofcource i loved the songs in the hindi version...anywayz...lets just see how does anniyan turns up & WHERE IS ARR???:P

Guys,

Dont forget to mention Anantha Vikatans worst comment ever about a movie.

And the honour goes to BOYS. It was the most cruel review i have ever seen in my life. No other review could have shattered anyones heart more than that review.

For the ones not to have seen the review here is how it was;

The review was on the first page. One page of review thats it. and the page had a still from the movie and with CHIIII written in big bold letters. Ina corner it said " except for perverts this movie is a chii!"

Now guys Imagine how poor shankar must have felt seeing that. Imagine how Sujatha wudve felt. Imagine what ARR would have thought!

Rahman refused to do the music for Kamasutra. And even kamasutra wudnt have been that badly disgraced.

I dont know about you people. but i honestly think Indian, Mudhalvan and gentleman arre tamil cinemas 3 gems. It made bollywood look up at tamil films with respect. I admire shankars skills more than any other tamil director in present.
Anniyan is surely short on Logic, and worst on music, but lets just appreciate anniyan for the efforts of Vikram and shankar. Shankar has made a movie better than what current tamil directors can make, eventhough it isnt near shankars BEST!

Oh and Hey ram got a 58... not 60


And Mahanadhi was asuper movie. I cant say the same ant hey ram!

Mugam was a stunning movie by Nasar - but that was a big FLOP..Who was the music director for that movie? Was it by IR? The BGM was stunning..the movie was so poetic..
