So I am not able to answer you now here..

innaththE chinthA vishayam audio is supposedly well received. Any links that give samples?
I have been wanting to write in this forum for a long time now. Atleast in the wake of this sudden "comparisons" of MDs. app_engine promptly put things in perspective with a quick and curt reply. Please this post is not in the comparing mode nor intended to support a particular MD over the other. This post is clearly written after a long pensive thought on "why things happen the way they do?" and also the as a reply to the painful sounds emerging out of tfmpage from some hardhore (??) IR fans, some even threatening him to pack up and leave.
A quick disclaimer at this point, I an no psychologist nor majored in anything close to psychology. Froid was someone I knew only in books and through "Chandramuki" as one of the guyz who could have been Rajni's prorfessor. :D
And now the bold statement: (kind of like thesis header)
The Importance of Memories: The creation and re-creation in one's lifetime!
A bit of a Froid like back-up on memories:
We as humans just thrive on memories. All that we do during our lifetime is create memories at every-stage and keep re-living them through some means. Some bad and some good. We all like to remember the good ones all the time. When we are young there is simply of reportoire of memories to chose from as life gets a little monotonous as we grow up. Later we create memories in college and later marriage and then children. Very often than not, the earliest memories are somehow replaced by the new ones for the lack of a "stimulant" and as we grow older, we begin processing only the latest ones. The basic essence of the plot is
EVERY MEMORY NEEDS A STIMULANT
For some reason or the other, our happiest memories are always tied to a childhood.(that is those who had a good childhood). The next ones seem to be college days. After that maybe life becos a tad too difficult to establish good memories . There are occasional sparks like marriage and baby. So from the sequence point of view, we just need something that would trigger the childhood memory gates open. For folks at tfmpage, those 90% of those triggers seem to be songs. (sometimes movies do as well)
P.S. (The very fact that the "traditional" indian mothers want to be a part of the son/daughter's life, be it from choosing the spouse to raising her grandkid is mostly linked to the fact that throughout most part of her life most of her memories is around her child. And she constantly strives for new memories for as a housewife all this while , she had nuthing else to add to her "memory bank". And the fathers are always had the opportunity to form memories at workplace and hanging out with friends.)
Songs : Our stimulant
Lets get to the crux of it. For most folks who are in your late 20's, 30's and 40's, just cant shake the impact of IR's songs. These songs are the perfect "stimulants" that we are looking for. There is a song for every occasion. I have always wondered why some IR songs send your soul into a spin. There is some kind of cosmic vibration when you hear those and a feeling that you have never felt before. Coupled with his songs there is always a memory. Raja just puts the icing on the cake with his soothing melody and gives you a "stimulant" that you treasure forever. With IR you feel forever young because 15 secs into the songs, you already start cherishing our memories, most of it some 20 years back, all happy ones. His songs make you even remember the sad ones you forever want to be etched in your life. You simply refuse to get older.
Now here is the sad part. What about the memories you form now? The icing that Raja once coated is missing, and IR fans just cant find solace in any others music. Its not like they dont like others music, they just dont feel it. Music (songs) to them dont mean anything than a mere 5 mins of sound. You just move on after its end. Nuthing special. Its the same case like our father and grandfathers who found and associated their memories with MSV/KVM that they found the current MDs intolerable. (even when IR was around, just like IR fans find ARR). For ARR fans its the same thing. ARR fans in the teens and mid 20's have their life associated with his songs. Fan? simply put , that one song which can stimulate you to recollect. If you get more such songs from a particular person, you become his fan.
It Is the music which reminds us of our memories, not the other way around.
IR fans who seldom relate his songs to events in life, will have to form other stimulants. IR has done his job. He kept us forever young. And those complaining about him and begging him to quit just ask yourself WHY?
My apologies for this brevity of a post. :)

As expected, only the title track is by IR !
Hey - you can't expect IR to score BGM for a serial :)Quote:

Ranjitha , napolean look quite earthy but the huge mismatch is swarna malya ...( somehow i absolutely hate her in any form of entertainment except bharatanatyam )
MumbaiRamki,
Yes, I too do not want IR to score BGM for a mega serial !
How come we two share the same opinion on Swarnamalya ?!
See my earlier post on the title song. I hate her too, not even her dance I like..:)
Count me too in the "Hate Swarnamalya" list. She looks all fake.
Iam atleast relieved that IR is limiting himself with just title track. Who has the patience to sit thru mega serials!!!
Hope BR kick starts "Kutra Parambarai" soon !
But his declarations like "if Kamal does not do the lead role, I will do it" are threatening..
btw..what happened to his Bommalaattam ?!
Nandalala is a story revolving around a child. Good scope should be there for a gripping BGM
