Add Pushpak to it. Pushpak was done by V.L.Narasimhan.
Infact long time associate of Raaja - Balumahendra too had to forego Raaja in Sandhya Raagam which was again done by V.L.Narasimhan.
I guess both cases, the movie's budget was too small to accomodate full sized Raaja sound (then).
Now the reason why Raja is not a part of Kamal or Balu movie (if) it should be read only that the subject is light and doesn't require Raaja.
My friend who is a dir told me that now the trend is - if the story is heavy and requires some uplifting - enunciation through music - the director doesnt think twice before heading towards Prasad studio.

Small question - how do they find out whether the story is "heavy" or "light"? :-)

May be by the weight of paper!!! (Remember the scene from "vellithirai" How tough it was for prakash raj to xerox the story cos it was a heavy story :lol: )

Jaiganes,
'Pushpak' was not produced by Kamal. It was originally produced by Mandakini Chitra Pvt. Ltd. and then released in various languages (!). And L Vaidyanathan scored the music for the film. Not V S Narasimhan. L Vaidyanathan did the score for 'sandhyA rAgam' as well.

மகேஷ் என்பவர் நன்றாக (விளம்பர படங்களில்) இசை அமைக்கிறார், அவரை நம்மவருக்கு அணுகிப்பாருங்களேன் என ராஜாவே கமலிடம் யோசனை தெரிவித்ததாக ஒரு முறை கமல் பேட்டியொன்றில் சொன்னதாக ஞாபகம்.

ஒரு முறை ராஜாவிடம் "காலத்தால் அழிக்க முடியாத பாடல்களை கொண்ட படங்களில் நடித்த கமல், ரஜினி போன்றோர் தற்போது ஏன் உங்கள் இசையில் படம் செய்வதில்லை" எனக் கேட்டபோது, "இந்தக் கேள்வியை என்னிடம் கேட்பதற்கு பதில் அவர்களிடமே கேளுங்களேன்" என பதில் அளித்தார். இந்தப் பேட்டி ஆ.விகடனில் பல வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு வாசித்ததாக ஞாபகம்.

மாற்றங்கள் வருவது இயல்பு. நல்ல பல பாடல்களை எம்.எஸ்.வி கொடுத்திருந்தும், ராஜாவை ஸ்ரீதர் தேர்ந்தெடுத்ததை விடவா ஒரு மாற்றம் இருக்கமுடியும்?

my bad.
sorry for factual inaccuracies- but the point is that Raaja has not been hogging on his friends to cast him as MD in every one of their films.

You cant blame him either, in the past he used to cite commercial compulsions... now Rahamn had won oscars he is sure like to work with him as that will enable him to realize his own oscar dreams...

It was kamal's statement about atleast having raaja in his home productions if not in all his movies even before Rahman made entry to films.

So dont try to be too smart ok va. 8-)

One more thing the relationship between kamal - IR or Rajini - IR is beyond the commercial aspect which time and again they proved it.
Instead of spending time on reeling out the statistics i wish you read the post properly.

Eagle,
The reply is well deserved for the bolded part of your post.
"Acting smart' ellam illai :)

pushpak composer is l vaidyanathan

yup - but my point is diferent - it is not as if every monumental piece of Kamal or Balu has Raaja behind it even in the days he was numero uno. So please stop attributing motives behind such things when there exists none.

Balu Mahendra - Azhiyaadha Kolangal was with Salilda. Kokila in Kannada wasnt IR. He even did Keeravani in Telugu, if I am not wrong.
Kamal also similarly. IR has done hundreds of films without Kamal, btw :-)

Betrayal is something IR/Kamal have to worry about, they are the friends not us - idhellam..well..how to put it..sappa matter - let's not break our heads over it
