Anal Kaatru -- BM confirmed IR again :D

In all likelihood, it will feature fresh faces.
“I’m certain of one thing,” said Mahendra, “that it will feature the music director who has scored for all my films, the maestro, Ilayaraja.”
"Teja gets PC Sriram, Ilayaraja for 'Keka'"

Teja & IR tried to team up a couple of years ago, but the project didn't materialize. Probably he'd be reusing those tunes again??!
IR composed a song in 3 notes for this film, which we got to hear later in JayaTV's show.
A big project for IR in telugu after a long time!
I think IR is the MD for this movie too in telugu (earlier titled "okkadhostunnadu")

I would also suggest that "Mookkuththi Poomele" (KJY and SJ) to be in the same vein.Quote:

I don't know about Teja. Is he a very good director ?
Teja was a hot young director in telugu some five years back.
He had superhits like "Jayyam" , "NuvvuNenu" to name a few.He has lost his way a bit now.I guess he had a release last year but not sure about its fate.
"Jeyam" - was this the one remade in tamil with Jeyam Ravi and Sada ? But I guess director was Raja, Ravi's brother..
Ilaiyaraja has extended the same tune he used to rag Kamal in Jeya TV's concert Anrum Inrum Enrum and produced a song in Kangalum Kavi Paaduthey.
Remember the kudikArA parama kudikArA song and compare it with mAlai nilA song of KKP. Ofcourse, it is not a wonder how a tune changes its face from one mood to another if Raja drives it.
Guess we can expect sherya ghosal to sing in all the new albums by IR..hehe
Sherya Ghosal's interview on cnn-ibn..She really look up to illayaraja and said IR is the best(part 3) and she also cheeni kum is close to her heart..

I wonder when will sun tv,kalaignar tv etc interview her bcos she's hottest singer right now in Kollywood..Someone pls suggest this to the tamil channels..Instead of interviewing half baked singers/actors, they should try to get shreya ghosal...
good to see so many projects lined up for IR :) But why dont we stick to new albums in this thread and all these news/titbits in the other thread. the purpose of opening such a thread is a waste i believe :(
Telugu Jeyam was directed by TEJA(sada's debut).The tamil remake was done by Ravi's brother Raja.Quote:

Raja sir should be very choosy abt his projects.. he shud do only quality movies... must outrightly reject other movies.. varusathukku 1 or 2 movies is enough.. this wud increase his market value too and will also create much more expectations from his fans and the public..
saw a song from madhu today.. painful to see that raja sir has composed for such a movie..
>>Seems Hariharan is not any ordinary director<<
Interesting, that there had even been such thought that movies such as 'oru vadakkan veeragAtha' can be made by ordinary directors:-) When you get a chance, please listen to the songs of MalayALam movies by Hariharan / MT combo (Bombay Ravi was the regular MD for this combo) and you'll realize why I'm hoping so much for a good IR score in this project.
Some of the movies by Hariharan with great songs that I relished while at Palakkad: panchAgni, nakakshadhangaL, oru vadakkan veeragAtha, pariNayam...there could be more.
my few cents abt KKP:
1.'malai nila' sounds like a cross between 'oliyiley'(azhagi) (just the pallavi), 'oru siri kandaal' (mallu song by IR rendered by Chitra?) and 'allah un anaippadi' (Chandralekha)
2.'pottumela' is 80s style Raja with shades of 'thanandhana kummi kutti'(athisiya piravi) feel!
3.'nalai inneram' takes off from 'anne anne' and has shades of 'kakkala kannamma' (yatra mozhi) - but the charanam (with shades of 'malaiyyil manjal' from Manam virumbuthey unnai towards the end of the charanam) is classic IR - luv it! - this charanam wud fit well into a song for a Hindi speaking audience
4.'sollum varai' - has shades of 'manasathotta kadhal'(kadhal kavidhai)
overall as someone mentioned, the bits-n-pieces pallavis are irritating, but still its a fresh IR after a hiatus!
R.Man Pasand is just not letting Shreya say anything much/more abt IR than a few words!! each time Shreya mentions IR, RMP changes the topic !?#*!

Interestingly, I expected you to jump in on this :)
If you remember, I have already posted my thoughts on the songs of "Oru Vadakkan veerakatha" some time back.
I liked them.
At the same time, I would say that the movie was good, but not very great to be named a classic style of film making.
But I expect a lot from "Pazhassi Raja" . Even one song like "Sundari kannaal.." with grand orchestration and visuals will make me happy :)
Raja_fan: IMHO, for Pazhassi Raja, IR will not give something like 'sundari' - the context, the movie, the star cast, the filmmaker all are completely different! Thalapathy is big in terms of Rajini, MR etc. Big canvas and grandiose output.
For PR, the 'big' factor is in a different context - the 'big'ness comes from a different filmmaker who would ask/extract something more subtle and sublime from IR rather than grandiose! for MR and RK, IR had to give something very grandiose, while for PR, it will be more refined - this is not to underplay the quality of Thalapathy score
it is like John Williams scoring for a movie like Jurassic Park (big-budget, grandiose product) and something like Amistad (not as big and grand, but still very much a powerful human drama)
For something like GURU, IR went bonkers like Sachin against Brad Hogg, coz of the fantasy like story requirement/content - but with PR, it is rooted in historical facts, and hence the score will be more in-between what IR would have given for 'Marud' (if Kamal had made it) and what IR gave for Guru! its like Sachin playing a more watchful but equally brilliant innings on a two-paced pitch like the one in Headingley -))
irir123,
Ok. I agree.
What I precisely meant is Grandeur + Usage of manual instruments,not synth (his old style) + flowing tunes.
As this movie is slated for an English dubbing too, we can expect something big from this team. Fingers crossed..
raja_fan, I haven't heard KKP yet. But what exactly do u mean by broken lines? Is it a new malady? Wasn'tl IR composing like that , way back 80's itself? Take "poongaatru pudhidhaanadhu" ,"hey oraayiram", "en iniya pon nilave" , "pon malai pozhudhu" etc. But the hollowness was aptly filled with great music , guitar/synth fillings . The charanams used to flow freely after the marvellous interludes .
any idea who is MD for Balu Mahendra's anal kaatru ?
i read that he has started filming this one.
cinesouth.com
thumburu,
nice examples and question :)
I am a lay man in music technicalities. So I could express only by the words "broken tune".
Yes, in 80's there were songs with some pause. But they had a raga flow in them. Also as you said, the pause were filled with some good piano or guitar stuff etc.
Also they were filled with a feel or force like "poongaatru...Pudhidanadhu" or "Hey..hey..oraayiram" thanks to good rendition by KJY or SPB.
When you sing the parts "pudhidhaanadhu.." or "oraayiram" there is a raga flow..is it not ?
But think about songs like "Nilavai sutri..oru kottai katti". Some how it is very plain like reading the lines out of a paper. This aspect is getting dominant in IR's tunes nowadays that makes the song what I say as "usuppillaamal paaduvadhu pol irukku".
The only promising album from IR is Naan kadavul. Apart from this, I am also expecting something from Uliyin Oosai since it is a historical movie.
hmmm pArkalAm
I loved "nilavai Sutri" song a lot.
The staccato or checquered rendering is an innovation in my opinion and with the right singer and opportunity, I am sure that IR will make it sound more delightful. In nilavai Sutri, he had only he soft synth to support the vocal. One has to bear in mind that with the right orchestration this sing - pause -sing will be catchy
Remember "Hey baby baby" in Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai? that was cool even with those synths. I would still give him a chance
"poongaatru pudhidhaanadhu" ,"hey oraayiram", "en iniya pon nilave" , "pon malai pozhudhu" - all these songs had one common thing: novelty in terms of tune and orchestration - besides, we remember these songs not for the first two words, but for WHAT follows thereafter! it is in this aspect, IR of late is disappointing
Kangalaum Kavi... - Very very very very very ordinary songs. I am also HC fans just like most of you, but not sure why you are fooling yourself! I myself could predict the songs from music. IR ditching TFM again. Sorry :(
Work is progressing fast on mallu animated film MANIKANDAN.the dubbing part is over and now animation is in full swing.Ayya will record songs for scenes already picturised a-la Hey Raam during march.Whenever phone rings at VIsmaya studios and if its from chennai technicians get excited and its RAAJA SIR RAAJA SIR shouts all over
i think any HC RAja fan would love POTTU MELE song from KKP.Is it possible to find such pulse raising vintage rhythm these days.Personally i find MAALAI NILA very appealing
"Nilavai sutri" is my favourite too despite the pause between words in the pallavi and synth . It has "ok" interludes, engaging charanam that ends with a nice cresendo and the celtic like piece that repeats again and again is an attraction. I have registered my opinion in the same thread in 2006 when "Madhu" got released . Infact for me, it was even better than "ketkavillaya". As madhan puts, its what follows that matters most . I would be happy if KKP songs that have these broken lines sound atleast as good as "Nialavai sutri"
thumburu - do i know u ??
Madhan, no. But I have been following TFM DF since 98.
rajalltheway, is there any way for you to diplomatically convey our hardcore raja fan's expectation [ wrt freshness in tune, great natural orchestration sans synth]and disapointment time and again with his recent tamil film albums ?
thumburu,
Regarding your request to rajaalltheway, that is near to impossible !

IR's "Aa Dinagalu" nominated under "Best Music" category for Sunfeast Udaya awards to be held on March 9th. FYI.
I dont know (have not heard) how good the music of other nominated movies are, but I liked "Bidu Bidu" (Rajesh voice texture and style of singing in this song is almost ditto like current SPB) and one another song of "Pallakki" (Music: Guru Kiran) sung by SPB

Somehow Raaja's recent albums seem to get into such distribution issues. Remember the shortage of TiS cassettes during the release time ???Quote:

Even music popularity has soared today mainly because of the publicity media available - if you have 10 music channels / FM radios blaring your clips 24x7, even a mediocre number would inadvertantly get into the listener's mind.
Boss, in a world where you have to erect a huge pink glowsign saying "Roses" with some animation even in front of a huge rose garden, being publicity-shy is a noble thought but not a successful one.
This is not just about Raaja's music. This happens in our everyday lives also. Personally too, even if I would like to let my work speak for me, if I have to get attention, then I have to let some buzz happen about my work.
At last listened to KKP.
Instant catch Sollum Varai Kaadhal" As youthful and gentle as it can get. There was a light lift in the songs and listening to it while working is another bliss. Dont know what Rajasaranam got crossed about this song. it is a beautiful song.
Maala nila is another amazing number with so much of "Deja Vu" thanks to the Raagam and the prayogam by IR and Manjari. I find Manjari's voice in both these songs to be apt and pleasing. IR struggles to sing Maalai Nila an SPB would have made it the years best song kinda feel.
Other songs probably serve the cinematic requirements than an album's. In spite of that Pottu Mela was good considering the restrictions. I hope Mamu machi is not in the film at all.
As Karthik has mentioned in his review, this album is a 'likeable album' and if you are playing it in your car, I guess you would be pressing "repeat" for "Sollum varai" and like teletubbies would say "Again again again."

Ameer Joins With IR for Kannabiraan
I think this 'kaNNabirAn' thing may be a siNdu mudiyal. If it's real, it would be better if IR encourages Ameer to continue to work with YSR. If he still insists, only agree to do BGM.
From what I've seen, Ameer is a very capable director (I liked Ram, excellent but PV wasn't impressive, especially his choice of grAmiya music was very unimaginative) and may get a great score from IR. However, whether he can work without awe for IR and also with a better wavelength with him than with YSR cannot be predicted. He had better stick to his own team and continue to nurture his youthful combo. A failure here is not going to make or break IR but Ameer will have to hear 1000 unwanted ridicules w.r.t choice of MD in case of a flop movie.
I never said i didnt like this song :roll: I liked maalai nila better. may be due to the connection with 'Oliyile Therivathu' kind of tune :)Quote:
