BlueSky is really excited to be part of this film and we already overwhelmed with enquires from different locations even before closing this movie.
Australia, Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte, South Carolina, Indianapolis, Iowa, Nebraska and Memphis were already closed and other locations under negotiations.

Maestro Ilayaraja is the first Asian to compose music for this Broadway classic. A team from Hungary are going to be in India on 9th of this month and they will team up with Ilayaraja to compose music for this play in four days. Ilayaraja will personally attend for the opening show on 22 October.
waitenimit... wasn't Virginia Woolf supposed to be staged yesterday at Hyd? Summoning Raagas gaaru immediately. What news do ye bring, signor?
I had called my brother to check on this drama in Hyd. He told me that the drama may have been postponed. As per his info the music was not yet composed. (Or maybe the drama was staged without music and Raja saw it?) Will check with him again.

Well, thanks for the info Raagas. Musicians from Hungary n all... expectations have gone up, lets see.
At the rate in which raaja has been soliciting the services of Hungary (or UK) based artists - it is better if those artists get some long-term visas and stay put here only in Chennai/Bombay. :-)
And tell you what! 'at times' i feel a "whats the point" thought whenever I read about raaja bringing hungary musicians and all - everything that raaja records with them, doesnt anyway reach people or fans like us. The practice of releasing OSTs is absent in India. And all those recordings are tucked away in BGM pieces, beneath the dialogues and stuff. And they are as such situational pieces.
Instead, if only raaja does instrumental albums, with such artists - atleast, the music will be thematic and listeners can completely listen/enjoy both - raaja's skillset and even their talent. There, I again come back to the same topic! :-(
Some updates on Dhoni:
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/chann...i-and-more-415
"...Prabhu Deva, a great friend of mine, makes a special appearance in a song-and-dance sequence.
Regarding the music, I must say that Ilaiyaraaja Sir is in full song and has fine-tuned all the songs with live recording — one hardly ventures into that now, given the advantage of technology. This means that the music of the film will be a soulful experience...."
Was "Masthana" song (and of course for other songs of the movie too...forgot the movie name) the last time Prabhu deva danced to IR's song?
My curiosity for this movie songs has increased with live recording and all that. Hoping for the best.
thanks,
Krishnan
Mastaana was composed by Karthik raaja.Quote:

Raagas, I forgot about TIME! TIME came after that Raasaiya (yes, i googled the movie name). Thanks. Raasaiya is officially by IR (maybe KR was unofficially involved :).
thanks,
Krishnan
I got tickets for the Play. I am not sure about recording the music - because it is a play with dialogues and music will be on background. Will try though!
:thumbsup: Raagas! Congrats! Record cheyyandi, parvaledhu, adjust cheskothaamu!
Some preparatory tidbits on "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe" theatre play:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/e...w/10441607.cms
"...The haunting strains of Ilaiyaraaja's music fills the air of Ravindra Bharati and actor Kamal Kamaraju, who was all geared up for the rehearsal of his play, takes a few seconds to compose himself. "The first time I heard what the music maestro has composed for the play, I was speechless.
You can't help but get overwhelmed by emotions when you listen to his tunes when you are on stage," says the Tollywood actor..."
"...I play a young, Biology professor who wants to move up the social ladder and grow in life. And through the course of the play, the character undergoes a complete change. Illaiyaraja's music perfectly sets the mood for your character. For my scenes, he created a young and playful flute composition that is perfectly in sync with who I am in the play," he says..."
thanks,
Krishnan
Sri Rama Rajyam, special promo video, featuring Ilayaraja. Jump to 2:21 for some BGM bits.

That final comment from maestro is a master stroke :)
****DIGRESSION***
I never knew venkat's prabhu Poncholai audio was ever released . Decent track, like the prasanth-Raaja combo of aan azagan types. Gana Kuyile makes it mark. An awkard singing yugendran !

At least about 3-4 songs promos of this movie are available in youtube and about 2-3 are sort of having marathi flavour.

Just back from "Sri Rama Rajyam" premier show. Spellbinding score by our Maestro. I don't think we have ever heard such a melodious background score in any other Indian film so far. IR lifts the film to international standards. Movie itself is near perfect. Kudos to Dir Bapu, Nayantara, and the visual effects team. Sri Rama Rajyam sets the standards so high, that it seems almost impossible for any other film in future to match this, especially, in the music department

Music by Ilayaraja is the soul of the film. Every song is good and the background score is excellent.

kaNdEn. Sri 'Raja' Raajyam!
saar. kandEn seethayai nu muduchuttElE? 10 marks essay type answer ezhudhungo.
Saw 'SreeRamaRajyam' today. Here is an analysis I wrote on twitter:
Well made movie. Bapu's control is evident throughout. A steady screenplay, with neither highs nor lows. Lot of money spent on sets and graphics but tastefully done. Bapu ensures that the movie doesn't get too melodramatic and keeps things under control. Balakrishna looks old but must be lauded for doing a role which is no 'non heroic'. No special dialogs for him. Nayantara looks pretty and the Lava Kusa kids do their job well. Their roles nicely detailed by Bapu. Raja's music and photography / art deco are key to keeping the audience attention. Raja is phenomenal in BGM. The BGM when Sita comes to see her own statue and the end credits are top class. I wish they would release teh end credits. And the way Raja weaves the BGM against the 'sreekaram manoharam' phrase is sheer genius. All in all, a nice movie. Treat for the eyes and ears. Don't expect anything earth shaking and you shall be rewarded. Wish someone would record the end credits of 'SreeRamaRajyam' and post in on the web.
Now waiting for Plum's detailed review.
It is a firmly old-fashioned movie, so much so that I am skeptical of the national awards so confidently predicted. In an era of Anurag. Kashyap style reinterpretations, the only way such a movie would work is if it is a modern rework with Seetha possibly being a politician's wife who moves in with Ravana or something after he banishes her. I can imagine the awards committee looking askance at each other at the old fashioned story telling and screenplay techniques. So, let's get that out first - no national awards, not even for the music, for if the movie fails to engage them, what attention they'll pay to the music. Likely to be dismissed as melodramatic. Yet, that is precisely what appeals to fans of a bygone era of mythological costume drama. Afterall, Ravi Varma is art, too, though he is likely to be sneered at by World-Art patronising Picasso and Van Gogh (only). (Contd)
