Request you to avoid such emotional outbursts ..
If somebody does not ,then he does not like it - We should respect his identity ....

Did u hear Mumbai XPress?How did u like it !!
"I feel like asking you some question - do you really think IR is in a position to 'experiement' something when it comes to karakaattakkaari kind of movies ? or is he in a position to 'pick' his movies / themes / directors ?
Given the kind of projects he is getting thesedays, IMO he does his best ! "
Nagas, and I disagree. You can compare Virumandi and Karagatakaari and see that IR has put a little more thought into Virumandi than he did for Karagatakari, because the former was Kamal's film and he makes sure he extracts what he wants. For the lesser directors, its lesser stuff. I am comparing these two films because both have a more or less similar rural setting and demands songs with folk feel. Nothing new conceptually or in terms of presentation as far as Karagatakaari is concerned. Discerning listeners will easily spot this out. This is nothing new to me as IR has been doing this since the 80s. Like Nitya pointed out yesterday his old tunes/sandhams/rhythm patterns recyled and presented with new singers. In fact, now that I think about it, almost every song in Julie Gnapathy gives a feeling of being recycled from somewhere. A very mundane effort.
Arjuna, I dont agree with you on ME. I feel its a different effort from IR as far as the interludes are concerned(in 2 songs), not his same routine stuff. But the tunes(or the vocal portions) by themselves are a big letdown and are'nt hip enough to match the rest of the song. We have heard these kind of tunes plenty of times before. Nothing new attempted there. That was my point.
Unfortunately for both the TFM and HFM audience this might prevent them from appreciating the Jazzin the interludes and might force them to overlook the album, favouring pathetic efforts like Sachin, Chandramukhi etc. As far as I am concerned I am listening to ME theme and the interludes of Kurangau kayyil maalai and Poo pothadhu and I like it.
hmm, may be you are right vijayr, virumaNdi was sure better than karakattakkaari - but I am not sure if the situations kamal / other director gave would've been similar / equally challenging ... Anyway, we can only guess now :)
I liked virumaaNdi, karakaattakkaari and Mumbai Express ... ofcourse, not in the same order or I would like to rate them ... But I liked each of those albums for different reasons :)

Arjuna, however, I do agree with your take on YSR, if thats any consolation :-)
NagaS, karagatakaari sounds like Johny or NizhalgaL when compared with other terrible albums from the late 90s like Thodarum, Thalaimurai, Rajasthan etc :-) Wonder whether he let KR/YSR or any of his assistants do the composing for those films. Ideally, it would be nice to see IR doing 5 or 6 films a year for Bala, Cheran, Kamal and 2 or 3 other young promising directors and avoid films like Vela(I think it is thankfully shelved) or Karagatakaari (the star cast of this film would be suitable for a porn flick)
Vijayr,
Well your name doesnt suggest anything but being a observer of your posts i understand you are a MSV/ARR fan. I too am not surpirsed by your reactions when any album of IR is released. you were desperate when ARR entered the field for IR to be driven out of business, for IR was the one who drove MSV out of business. but 14 years passed and that seems not to happen in remote future too.though you come around snooping in IR forums and say negative comments about his albums nothing will happen... Go have a life buddy. Grow up ive stopped coming to ARR forums and throwing negative comments
And none expect Kbee and Vatsa had said they didnt like the album in first hearing, that means many to you aint it, i understand you being an ARR fan :)
IR churning out the same flour for TB KR is ok for me till ARR churns out the same flour for Ashutosh,MR, SJS etc.,
Nagas, After the Gauytam Menon film I read Kamal was doing another film with Charan-supposedly a comedy and I assumed the MD would be Bharadwaj.But If he is launching his own film like someone mentioned above maybe IR would be the MD
Rajasaranam, if you dont like my posts/opinions you are welcome not to read it. Looks like you miss the points that I like about ME and harp only about my criticism. You sound like a typical fanatic as your name suggests. And as for your claim that I am a huge ARR fan, if you had been in this forum long enough you would know better. Right now, I can only laugh at this comment.
Kbee and Vatsa arent the only people. Few I spoke to said that they liked the album more on subsequent hearings. This happens when something new that you are not used to hearing to, is attempted. And Jazz is mostly alien to most TFM listeners, and takes a while to grow on you. If you like it at the first attempt itself, good for you. It doesnt mean it should be the same way for the others. Maybe it could also be because you decided that you would like this album in advance, no matter what :-)
