Yes because the title song which they shooted in Ramoji rao film studio isnt good according to the folks who were present (BTW it was by SPB only). I honestly dont expect much in Rajni movie. Apparently Rajni underplays in this movie and go with whatever Shankar asked him to do, so we will have to see if its a Rajini movie or Shankar movie.Quote:

Hello,
I am 100 % sure that the title song will be better than Devuda Devuda. As we know the song and the full album was very successful. So it'S enough if it's not good.
I listened to Godfather and would have to say the product is pretty average, even slightly sub-par at times. This makes Ah Aah look better. The Rahman song got my attention a little bit, the rest didnt.
Innisai, a very ordinary attempt at a semi-classical considering the magnum opuses that have come earlier in Hindolam, the opening line is kind of similar to the IR-CHithra song "kaNNanai kaaNbaaya nilave" from Manithanin marupakkkam. Hope Rahman's obsession with Naresh Iyer in Tamil ends soon(although considering the eunuch role Ajith is playing, Naresh's effeminate voice would probably be a good fit). Local talents like Haricharan could be used for such songs in the future. The SPB song was an unmitigated disaster, what was Rahman thinking? The Sahiba part had no connection with the song whatsoever and I was searching for a semblance of a tune till the end. 2 albums in a row SPB has been wasted. You expect an "endhan vaanin kaadhal nilave" kind of song and then you get this. The other fast numbers in the album didnt make much of an impact.
The only consolation is that KSR doesnt deserve any better. He is worse than SJS in that he lacks fresh ideas and has the standard masala ingredients dished out in different proportions in every film of his. Its a shame that the likes of ARR, Kamal etc. continue to work with him. He needs to be put to rest soon along with P.Vasu.
I wish Rahman gets special projects in TFM too like he gets in Hindi.
Maybe Jillendru oru Kaadhal would do the trick.
Godfather is said to be the best movie(storyline) that Tamil Cinema has ever seen and it's one of the costliest movies ever.
For the first time your posting and my posting are 100% match (guys dont go and find 6 vidyasangal). Lets hope this continues.Quote:

Obviously, one should not expect numbers of the quality of KKS in an album like GF. This movie is for the masses and ARR has done a very good job, IMO. Kaatril is awesome, Theeyil is super, and Ilamai rocks (although a bit of Kishore Kumar type of yodelling is also thrown in).

The point is not what I consider the best. Point is are you happy with GF and my answer is no and your answer is yes. I guess you few ARR fans lowered their expectation, so ARR always meet their expectation and anything above average is considered sensational/rocks.
The SPB-Saadhana duet provided an opportunity for a KKS-like song, but Rahman blew it. Colossal waste of SPB's singing talent, with the voice distortion techniques overdone on his voice track which made me cringe. Someone like Blaaze or Udit deserve such treatment, not SPB. And melodies like these dont need voice distortion gimmicks. Even theekuruviyaay from KKS had the same and I didnt like it although it was fleeting in that song. Also ARR should stop this recent trend of remixing the same song 3 times just to extend the length of the soundtrack.
As someone said, ignorance is bliss 8-)Quote:
