Plum,
Who said Rajasaranam is an atheist. He always believes that #RajaIsGod :)
The Marathi movie is supposed to be releasing on 25th Nov. Anyone has any clue if the music is out?
KV, Excellent, :clap: thank you very much for your detailed review.
RS, Thanks a lot for the youtube uploads, will hear it once I reach home today.
I am planning to watch the movie this thursday, not sure if I will be able to make it.
KV, on sita's final decision , here's my wife's take: "unakku idhE poyappA pOchu. Ayodhikku ittunu pOva vEndiyadhu. pOva sollo azhukkAna thuNi thovaichu kAyarathukuLLa kAttukku pOmmEna vEndiyadhu. Idhukku nAn enga aathA vootulEyE nimmadhiyA iruppEnE". Before raja_fan turns up :yessir:
I have never thought Ramayana is a great epic. the impressive excerpts of Kambaramayanam that I read enhanced only my respect for the language and not for the subject matter. Some of our family friends (with names like ravanan :-) ) claim it is an epic from the north but my other learned tamil friends assure me it is part/parcel of the ethos of the whole subcontinent. Whatever it is it is a clear portrayal of the second-class status of women in the society those days. Ramayanam and mahabaratham hailed as greatest epics of our country are also the ones I am very defensive about. Somebody set me right :-) Anyways, I will never be able to appreciate the Ram fervor of my fellow countrymen.
rajasaranam has tried but if somebody could upload high quality soundtracks I will really appreciate ..
Yes Plum sir !Quote:

I do not want to comment anything if you think you are too smart in your posts and interpretations about Ramayana, but you also think world cares about what your wife has to say on this !!
Who next ? :)
Carry on !
R-F: sorry for hurting you. Btw, I generally don't care for people read my posts are not - primarily because if I like them, I re-read them often for my own pleasure. We are narcisstic that way. En kadamai post seyvadhodu mudigiRadhu. Ungalukku pidikkudho pidikkalaiyo unga ishtam/kashtam.

kiru,
I personally don't have any problems with the epics. They depict a time and a set of morals of that time. There is no need to be defensive at all. I have read other epics from around the world starting from Old Testament and I can assure you all epics have their own issues, if you see them with our current vision. V S Naipaul, even in his younger days when he was spewing venom about India, had good words to say about Ramayana. Ofcourse it will take a long long essay to show why it is such a great epic.
I also want nothing to do with the Rama Senas but that is a different topic.
/End Dig
Suresh, nicely put. The two extreme views - putting down the epics without making an attempt to engage deeply and equally, blind acceptance and touchiness about it - both disturb me.
guess ramayanam is a sentimental drama and if one looks at it from a lyrical / literary perspective as one would look at Shakespeare's or even Tennesse Williams works, then it shdnt matter much
as for morals, they are but a reflection of the times - it was considered ok and even a moral neccessity for a woman to jump into her husband's funeral pyre (probably its still being practised in some rural parts of northern india) 50 years ago, honor killing of newly wed couples with the boy /girl from different caste backgrounds still being practised and accepted in many places in india, etc etc, just the same way sharia is practised in islamic countries around the world
wonder if someone would take a different / radical look at the conventionally accepted story of rama - sita and give a twist showing rama's advances towards other women in the absence of sita !! ? perhaps we need a desi Dan Brown to come up with something like that to challenge the 'holy cows' of indian mythology!
for the 'so-called' morals espoused and practised during biblical times, watch / read Richard Dawkins' 'The God Delusion'! it was morally acceptable to kill ones own son to appease 'god'(yaweh the jewish one) and also stone ppl to death etc etc - and later on, it was acceptable to burn women at the stake for charges of heresy and practising witchcraft etc - but those times were different and real
likewise ramayana if not taken as a sentimental story, but a series of events that allegedly happened, ought to looked at time-context wise
nobody gives a hoot if one likes Ramayana or not.
Let's stick to music here instead of throwing our own biases--people come here for discussions on music and nothing more.
SPB on Ilayaraja's work for Sri Rama Rajyam. Says IR truly deserves an oscar for this film.

Hello jai hind is releasing this friday. Till now no news about audio release!
http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-...e1-773259.aspx
thanks,
Krishnan
Why does this goose-hunt syndrome keep repeating for almost every new album? :sigh2:
Padithurai was also supposed to be out this year, neither has that seen the light. Happi also seems to have bitten the dust. tch...
raja_fan, your reply was also not warranted.
Anyway guys, let's get back to the music discussion.
Padithurai
Happi
SRK
the music of all these films is ready... but lying in cans :-(

Dear Raja-Fan, I would just like to say that a little digression is inevitable in any thread. That's what happened. Ramayana is an Indian epic. I am an Indian. Heck, even if I am not, as a human, I have as much share in it as you. So, you cannot claim that we have to look at it your way only. Combining the above two points, there was nothing wrong with what was posted before. Your sanctimonious tone is what changed the mood of the thread so RR is right. Anyway, emotion blinds us so I can understand. I see the point in not discussing it further here. Since you are so riled up, I intend to transfee these discussions to the Indian Films thread and invite participants there. That would be fine by you no?
அட ஏம்பா அடிச்சுகிறீங்க? நம்ம எல்லோருக்கும் பொதுவான ராஜா விஷயங்கள சந்தோஷமா பகிர்ந்துக்கலாமே? I am a silent visitor to tfmpage every single day for over 13 years, seen many things here. நம்ம எல்லோரையும் இணைச்சது அந்த புண்ணியவான் தான். நமக்குள்ள ஏங்க வம்பு?
My 13 years with tfmpage is really longer.. 5 more years more than my son's age, 3 years longer than my married life. I am with tfmpage for almost 35% of my life. Every single day I visited tfmpage, more than few times some days. I used to post a lot with tfmpage before login/passwd was introduced to post messages. Now I started posting as well.. Love you guys, I read every single posts on Raja's new and tidbits as well as Raja's new albums. Thank you guys, It is Raja who united us all from different back grounds..
thank you all again. I wont be a silent visitor anymore.
rajaramsgi,
நிறைய எழுதுங்கள்!
:-)
raja_fan, I'm not replying to you since others have pretty much what I wanted to say. If you need any clarification, pm me.
rajaramsgi: :thumbsup: naradhar kalagam nanmayil mudinthathu pola.. vaarungal. Keep posting!
On the topic of Sri rama jeyam, I liked 'kalaya nijama' a lot. IR gives a sallapam/soorya after a long time..
Song samples of 'Hello Jai Hind'. Sharing it hear. Havent heard it yet.
http://www.hellojaihind.com/
rajaramsgi,
In your name you have both Raja and Ram, so let us know if you liked the music of 'SreeRamaRajyam' :) Looking forward to you posting often.
This naradhar kalagam also managed to bring RR out of such a long hiatus . yes, Sallapam after the masterpiece "isaiarasi", but my grouse being its shortness and SPB not singing it even though Tippu was adequate.Quote:

Loved the Hello Jai Hind Songs. There is a already a movie review indicating that thalaivar's songs perfectly match the script's situations. Every song is a winner with atleast three songs having strong qawwali flavour in the rhythms. Anagana showcases 0.00001% of thalaivar's orchestration extraordinaire where the qawwali rhythm is seamlessly changed from a traditional tabla base to a western drum base.
Dear All,
I edited 2 songs of thiruvasagam and they are in the link below
hear them and let me know your comments

Hulk,
Your observation based on samples you heard on the site? Any other links to the full songs? I am sure CDs will not release in Bangalore. Need to get someone in Mumbai to get them.

irir - let's take it to a different thread in Indian Films section. Pliss to wait..will create and link here.
SPB talks about Sri Rama Rajyam in telugu. In part 2, around 3:58 he praises Raja for SRR's music.

Very mixed reviews, but thumbs up for the music
http://thecommonmanspeaks.wordpress....-movie-review/
Well-known music composer Ilayaraja’s Marathi film debut deserves appreciation. The background score and Amalendu Chaudhary’s cinematography are worth mentioning and so are the dialogues.
http://blog.babysoft.in/hello-jai-hind-review/
Illaiyaraaja’s music enhance it further, making it a worthy addition to the films that have begun emerging from the fast-evolving Marathi film industry
http://wogma.com/movie/hello-jai-hind-review/
A special mention must go to maestro Illaiyaraaja, who has given the music for the film. Few men can come up with melodies that go with the moment or the occasion like the great man, and his music is an asset to this film. Be it the ‘Ganpati Ala’ track or the songs sung by Sukhwinder, Kailash Kher and Hariharan respectively, the music is from the soul - not the kind that would find its way into iPods across the nation, but the kind which one would *not* fast-forward while watching on DVD. One only wishes that Illaiyaraaja does more films, even if they are regional or offbeat.
Another one...
http://www.marathimovieworld.com/rev...ind-review.php
Music being the heart of Marathi films, this film has very effectively presented few songs to go well with certain situations in the screenplay. The wonderful compositions of Illyaraja, who makes his debut in Marathi through this film, match very well with the script.
Sivasub,
I had read most of the reviews. Not sure how well the movie would do going by the reviews.
Anyway still searching for the full soundtrack. This has probably been the most difficult sound track of Raja to track down!! Hope someone gets their hands on it soon.
to each his/her own.Quote:
