'sAindhu sAindhu' keeps playing in mind and I'm not able to stop :-)
Tried all my 'alternate dumping' tricks - didn't work.
It's very very long time since I'm unsuccessful trying to stop a song playing in mind :oops:
Gautam & IR :thumbsup:
same here.. the guitar work in the song is so soft and sweet that it keeps playing in the mind.(particularly when ramya finishes the charanam line followed by one twang and then the next line one more twang and then violins and horns take over to next line.. wow)Quote:

Watched 3/4th of the show last night (had to stop after my son forced me to sleep '1 mani varaikkum thoongAma enna paNReenga?')
Though some felt the interview with the (retired) directors was lengthy / unnecessary etc, that is so far my most fav part of the show :oops:
:thumbsup: to Gautam! Smart guy!
Plum, the angst i had on barathiraja, after seeing the Directors function it totally gone. BR just rocked in this event! His talk stands too tall from all the other directors talk. Even Balumahendra's one comes next!
BR :clap: aiyaa unga paavathai ellaam kazhuvitteenga :lol: IR kan kalangified many times during BR speech! Nallathu nadanthaa kooda aachariyappadrathukku illa!
Watched the NEPV audio launch telecast. Wonderful show by all means. There are hiccups and embarrassments, but overall very nicely done. My first pick of the entire show was the directors' speech. I know we already heard a lot about them and all their praises earlier many times, but somehow these directors take me to a nostalgic trip down my memory lane. I loved their speech, the respect and regards they have for our Maestro. Most of all, after a long time I could luckily catch one my most favorite director Bharathiraja and his trademark style speech. In this speech I could sense the depth of their friendship and their relationship. The way he expressed his love, affection towards Raja with his unique modulation, and also his notorious comments about the distinguished guests even when they were present, his honest praise for Gautam all gave me the most overwhelming moment of the show. Here is the partial transcript on what he spoke.
என் இனிய தமிழ் மக்களே (You have to see Maestro's uninhibited priceless smile). (whenever BR utters these words, I become his slave. What a voice and soul in that delivery!)
வாழ்வில் சில நிகழ்வுகள் பிரம்மாண்டமாகவும் ஒரு வியப்புக்குரியதாகவும் இருக்கலாம். இந்த நிகழ்ச்சி என்னை பொறுத்தவரை ஒரு நெகிழ்ச்சியான நிகழ்ச்சி. And I love my raja (see his modulation there, priceless!). Bloody :lol: அவனை இவ்வளவு தூரம் ஒரு உயரத்துல கொண்டு வந்து உக்காரவச்சு அவன் தனக்கு தானே பெருசா வளர்ந்துட்டான், இருந்தா கூட Gautham, Hats off to you. You gave him a correct place. You gave him a correct honor. :notworthy: (You have to see Maestro's face there glittering with smile that he had lost for years together). ஒரு மனிதனை மரியாதை செய்வதற்கு கூட ஒரு மரியாதை உள்ள மனிதன் வேண்டும் Gautham, you are great. :notworthy: (Beautifully said!).
சபை நாகரீகம் கருதி நான் என்னுடைய இசை ஞானி அப்படீன்னு சொல்லி அவர் இருக்கிறார் இசையில்'னு சொல்ல எனக்கு பழக்கம் இல்ல. என்ன, அவன நான் இசை ஞானின்னு சொன்னேன்னாலே அன்னியப்பட்டு போய்விடுகிறேன் நானும் அவனும். எனக்கு என்னைக்குமே ராஜா அவன் ராஜாதான். OK? :clap: அவன் சொன்னான் நாங்க ஹார்மோனியம் பெட்டி தூக்கிட்டு நானும் கூட கூட்டிகிட்டு போனேன்னு சொன்னான். கண்ணு கலங்கிடிச்சு. (me too) என்ன more than 45 வருஷமா நானும் அவனும் பயனப்பட்டிருகோம். எங்கெங்கேயோ சுத்திர்கோம் என்னென்னவோ பன்னிர்க்கோம் எவ்வளவோ சண்டைகள் எவ்வளவோ இது, ஆனா இந்த அளவுக்கு ராஜா படித்து ஒரு academic qualification 'ஓட இருந்து வளரந்திருந்தா கூட ஒரு இதில்ல. அனா he came from zero. oru சய்பரிலிருந்து தொடங்கி அனா எத்தனை சய்பர் போட்டு கடைசில ஒரு ஒன்னு போட்டான் பார்த்தீங்களா. :lol: அதுக்குதான் மரியாதை.
இசை பத்தி நீங்க இனிமேல் அவன் வந்து he is a great man, he achieved something, அடேயப்பா ஹங்கேரிலேர்ந்து, ஒரு விஷயம் நான் சந்தோஷபட்டேன். இந்த ஹங்கேரிலேர்ந்து வந்தாங்களே நல்ல வெள்ள தோல் போட்ட ஆளுக நம்ம கருப்பு காரன் மியூசிக்'க ரசிக்க வந்தான் பாருங்க great! :lol: (please watch Samantha's smile and applause), we win. ஆங்கிலேயரோட சண்டை போட்டோம் வெள்ளைகாரனை பார்த்தாலே என்னடாம்பான், அனா அது ஒரு வகையான achievement in his life.
அது மட்டுமில்ல அவனுக்கான இன்னும் தகுதி இன்னும் எவ்வளவோ இருக்கு. ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதனாக இருந்து அதற்கப்புறம் வளர்ந்து, தன்னை சுயம்புவாக வளர்ந்தான். கொஞ்சம் அங்க இங்க கத்துகிட்டான் அனா அவன் ஒருசுயம்பு. அவனோட மியூசிக்'க பத்தி சொல்லனும்னு சொன்னா எதோ இமய மலைக்கு போய் முண்டாசு கட்டின மாதிரி. இமயமலைக்கு யாராவது முண்டாசு கட்ட முடியுமா?. கெளரவம் கொடுப்பதுக்கு கூட ஒரு இது வேணும்.
இருந்தாலும் சொந்தாமான விஷயங்கள பகிர்ந்துக்கணும் (will complete tomorrow).
Gautam said he was afraid to meet Raja and ask for an movie offer. But man, what a damn fan he is! The short interview in the beginning which was recorded and shown, it had superb questions! Raja tried to go to is too generic "i dont care all that" attitude, but Gautam vidaama kElvi kEttu correct answer vaanginaar! The final one raja said "Ithu slow poison, Aala kill pannaama vidaathu" :notworthy:
Atleast once in a year, visham kudunga theivame! Kudichittu santhOshamaa saagurOm :D
there was one cute expression from BR when IR kalaaichufies him saying 'avar engayo poittaar, naan ingayae irukkaen..'
sweet chemistry..
"ஏ, அங்க பாத்தியா பாரதிராஜா வந்திருக்கான்" ந்னு இவர் ஆர்மோனியத்திடம் சொல்ல!, அவர் "பிளடி" என சொல்ல, ஒரே கொஞ்சல்ஸ் தான்! :lol:
yes! typical rural side, beautiful expression! no words needed!Quote:

Also when BR was speaking, Karthikraja signaled Raja with his mischevious smile and Raja acknowledged. Too good to watch.
One of the thoughts that came up while watching the show was how do the numbers work for such a show :roll:
Getting 50 EU musicians to Chennai for a show - the mere travel / stay and such mundane stuff could easily cost around $100K...add another $100K for their professional fees, other expenses (venue / Mano recording etc) - even if one considers the NEPV crew themselves didn't charge any and the local celebrities too offered to be on the show free of cost - the cost of such a show could easily touch Rs 1 cr ($200K).
Per SKV's estimate, there was a crowd of 3K or so and the tickets couldn't have covered more than 30-40% of that expenses.
Are the rest all by TV rights? Sponsors? How does even Gautam talk about donating money to charity from the proceeds?
:confused:
app_engine, u r still in old school thinking, wrt the audio event ticket sales and audio physical media sales to bear the cost of audio launch event.
Given that the case, not even one audio launch will withstand. the biggest/costliest launch could be enthiran and the recent launch b4 NEPV is Maatraan. Enthiran CD sales is not any sort of record and Matraan is not even a starter!
The new business landscape has changed. The publicity geared thru event is being expected by the producers to turn towards the movie, thus Audio launch is only an investment for publicity, today. Of course, Satellite rights are good way to get the money back. Jaya TV would surely telecast this 3 more times. the rest of the investment shud come from the movie ticket sales. no other go
Also, the Audio rights sold to sony for 1+ Crore which is sufficient to run this show. Don't worry how sony will get back the money, physical CD sales or legal mp3 sales or ringtone rights or FM/Music channel rights, or whatever it is. Gautam got 1C on hand from sony and he cud have spent that on the event, simple! Now add the ticket sales!
App will now ask to deduce the free CDs given in the event and would ask to consider the Gautam's announcement that the partial proceedings of that event goes to charity! :lol2:
Do you mean to say Gautam is giving money to charity from movie ticket sales? :lol2:Quote:

Ofcourse I'm from old-school-thought, but tell me, if Jaya TV paid for the program rights or the producer is paying Jaya TV to show the event (as marketing / publicity spend)?
Boss, audio rights one crore is already spent in Angel studios recording :lol2:
How can he spend again for an event is the question...
Bolly producers reserve even 30% of the budget for promotion. Idhellaam sillarai kaasu. Jaya TV would have made around 10c in ads alone. And I am sure they would have bought it for 3-4C. There is no question of loss here for GVM.
Also the real reason for charity was - first they started *selling* tickets for money and later on the day of the show, they started giving tickets away for free. appO kaasu kuduththu vaanginavan vaazhkkai? punniyam sErum :-) :-)
Nerd, i heard that last night b4 the event, it was said free tickets will be available in Jaya TV office, limited to 1 per person. But then heard that no such tickets were given! They closed the online booking 31st night but again opened it 1st morning
app,
As SKV and Nerd say, all this is part of publicity budget, recovered through selling telecast rights to channel, in stadium advertising etc. More importantly this hype would have helped GVM sell the film for a much higher price. In the sense, even if 2-3 cr was spent it could have translated into a 10c advantage when the film is sold. And nowadays which producer worries about ticket sales. That is the headache of distributor and theater fellows.
pp, angel studios recording cost, yes it shud be atleast 1C, and swamigal also would have been offered 1C, deservingly, i guess.
If gautam is the 1st director to take motta boss to 1C mark, then its another achievement for him, for raising the bar!
இளையராஜா இசையால் பெரும் விலைக்கு போன நீதானே என் பொன்வரந்தம் news et all came yesterday no?!? :)
Public passes were sold for money .. no doubts about it
I vageuly remember one of those blade comperes of the show saying, "nEththu night ticket kudukka aarambichchu, udanE full aayiduchchu" or something to that effect. Obviously I was not there and you were there, so your words carry more weight :-) But as you said, heard from friends that Jaya Tv (was supposed to?) offer tickets for free in their office.Quote:

That guy even said, ore traffic jam :lol: nothing of that sort! Thats a usual buildup statement! In public seating, theere where empty seats in corners, but anyways average 3K is sure. Maybe the epty seats could vouch for 1 to 1.5K ppl. thats for the staircase chairs. in the ground, the front place accupied by VVIPS as we all saw, and the vast space behind that was generously filled with press and osi ticket gumbals!Quote:

Nehru indoor stadium enakku avlo perusaa theriyala, after seeing lots of events there, like Kamal 50 and many others, i imagined the hall will be too big!
nanRi SKV, Nerd & Sureshji for the insights on the cost management!
So, spending for such an extravaganza is realized by multiple means :
-Film producer's promotion budget (who hopes to sell the movie at higher price)
-TV rights for the event itself (who in turn sells the ad space and makes many times profit)
-entry ticket sales
-stadium ad banners and such sponsors
(I doubt if the music company itself spends money for the event...if it does so, that could be another source)
BTW, Nehru indoor stadium, as per wiki article has a capacity of 8000 it seems. So, the event possibly had an attendance of 5K or so.
seating is 4 sides and one side completely abandoned for the sake of brammaandamaana Stage. This is the case for almost all events incl the recent MSV function. (But for Kamal-50 all 4 sided were used)Quote:

I think last sporting event in this stadium, featured Nehru himself :). They need some good hall with real stage...
Gautam didn't even put his name in the Audio Launch ticket!

What an evening it was!
One could see that the orchestra thoroughly enjoyed playing the score (the joy was very evident during 'ennOdu vA vA' first half).
Fantastic performance!
Thank you Gautham!
After watching rAsA's struggle on-stage for vAnam mellakkeezhirangi (surprisingly Bela seemed to enjoy singing there), I couldn't wait to start playing the regular version on loop...rAsA has managed the difficult portions in the saraNam very well in the recording:-)
However, mEdaiyil pArkka romba paridhAbamA irundhadhu :-(
I felt like myself struggling there (to hit the higher notes) and was very relieved when the song was over...
