இளையராஜா இசை என்ற அறிவிப்பு வெளியானதிலிருந்தே, இந்தப் படத்துக்கு ஏக எதிர்ப்பார்ப்பு. படத்துக்காக வெளியான இசை முன்னோட்டம் அந்த எதிர்ப்பார்ப்பை இன்னும் அதிகப்படுத்தியது.

ரூ 2.5 கோடிவரை இந்தப் படத்தின் இசை உரிமைக்கு விலை தர சோனி நிறுவனம் முன்வந்ததாகக் கூறப்பட்டது. இது ரஹ்மான் இசையில் வந்த விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயாவை விட மிக அதிகம்.

இந்த நிலையில், சோனிக்கு நீதானே என் பொன்வசந்தம் இசை உரிமை விற்கப்பட்டதாக அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

வரும் ஜூலை 1-ம் தேதி இசை வெளியீடு பிரமாண்டமாக நடக்கவிருப்பதாக கவுதம் மேனன் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

Liked your post. Goutham will not do that because I heard that he himself suggested yuvan for this song. I felt when compare to other song, yuvan has pronounced the words properly in this song.

There have been so many instances in which dual versions have been retained in the album, regardless of which version gets used in the film. என்ன, ஒரு நப்பாசை தான்!

aiyye kasakkum!!

Did I read somewhere that Gautam will include the karoke versions of the tracks? (or is it my imagination :oops:)

When minnalE came out, there was this karoke version of vaseegarA that got used by a senior girl in my son's school anniversary. She was awesome (much better than the "auntee" sounding Bombay Jayashree)...

Shot Cuts: Music to Gautam's ears

Well, there's more news about Gautam Menon's Neethane Enn Ponvasantham. The audio rights of the film have been snapped up by Sony Music. The movie's music, expected to be released in the first week of July, is eagerly awaited as it has been scored by one of Kollywood's greatest musicians, Ilaiyaraja.

What's interesting is Sony has acquired the musical rights of the Jiiva-Samantha-starrer at a price higher than what it paid for the audio rights of Gautam's earlier blockbuster, Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya.

Says a source in the unit, “While the audio rights of VTV fetched Rs. 1.5 crore, the audio rights of NEP have fetched Rs. 2 crore.”

Thannudaiya "rival" arimugamaagi 20 varudam aagum nilaiyil ( Come Aug-15,2012, Roja will be 20 years old ) , rs. 2 kodikku ivarudaiya isai vilai pogirathenraal, idhu varai endha thamizh isaiamaippaalarum seiyyaatha saadhanai !

appdillaam shoulderai yaethikka mudiyaadhu..
just that Raaja got lucky to have worked with GVM now..
Also the music shows that have happened in the recent time have installed the "nostalgic raaja" firmly into the minds of uth..
indha cassette rights more than VTVllaam - inflation and marana hype done by GVM - otherwise every1 knows Raaja's market is niche ..

Jaiganes,

இதுல ராஜாவோட லக் என்ன இருக்கு ?
கெளதம் மாதிரி இயக்குனர் ராஜாவுக்கு இப்போ கெடைச்சது லக் என்றால், மணிரத்தினம், ரஜினி போன்றவர்கள் ராஜாவை பிரிந்தது ?
எதாவது நடந்து கொண்டு தான் இருக்கும். அதற்க்கு தயாராக ஒருவர் தன்னை survive and wait மோடில் வைத்திருக்கிறார் பாருங்கள். அது தான் ராஜாவின் சிறப்பு.
அந்த தம் கட்டி நிற்ப்பது தான் ராஜா.

Comparison is bad, But just imagine..
Suppose for imagination sake, director Shankar was a big fan of Melisai mannar MSV. Would he have convinced producers/financiers or audio companies with the idea that he would work with that legend around the time period of 1996 ?
Simply no chance, because MSV did not have that "Staying power" as IR .

Inraikku "nostalgic Raja" nu solrom easyaa.
But is that just nostalgia ?
No, it is the quality of music that Raja gave in the 80's irrespective of the technology and media that time.
That is that quality which enables his music to climb and sit on any modern platform of internet or music systems.

Raja_fan,

Very much agree with your comments. GVM is working with IR purely because of the aura (through his music (songs and BGM)) that IR has maintained till date.

Kind of coincidence if I can say, but just today morning (while driving and listening to some of his latest hits) I was admiring IR's talent, determination and hard work has kept him going despite top directors leaving him post 90's period.

thanks,a

Krishnana

Raja_fan, Hope you know that this topic and all discussed verymuch.

Raja when he joins with a director who can inspire Raja(even just 1% is enuf!) he will give great music, inspite of how kappithanamaana story the director has.

Ovvoru situation um oru thani story solraapla sollaNum, the director shud be a guy who generally give importance to songs and his videos are Superhits, ippadipatta oru director maattinaa Raajavukkum namakku jolly thaan! Becos he, like a happy baby, will indulge in bringing up the most interesting compositions and we fans are here to enjoy them. But the -ve factors keeping Raja away from the new age popular directors are

1. Absolute lack of marketing from Raja's side, both indirect and direct
2. His image which ppl think has Some kind of harshness. Bayam!
3. Existing MDs oda collaboration sopil aagidumo engira bayam!

Gautam successfully broke all 3 and went ahead. The result is this natural hype whose other name is pure-expectation.

sagala...
imo, gautham is a hardcore raja fan and he always had a wish to work with raja...
jus that it has materialized now... chinna vayasula thaan kaettu rasicha rajakittayae situation solli tune vaangi koodave work panradhaala romba sandhosatthula irukkaar... adhanaala ovvoru visayatthayum kondaadraar... being a fan, ippo irukkura kaalatthula avaroda isai epdi reach aaganumnu nenakkiraaro adhellaam seiyaraar... adhukkanga recognition kedakka ellaam panraar...
avar harris koodayum work pannitaar... ARR koodayum work pannitaar... music'e illaadha oru padamum edukkanumnu adhuvum edutthukkaattittaar... raja koodayum work pannittaarna oru full circle vandhuruvaar... ashte...

aamaanga, yaaru illainnu sonnathu?! but naan Raja side story yai solren!

right, i just meant beyond all the negative factors u mentioned, gautham went to work with him only for his love for raja...

raja_fan,
One of your best post. padikarthukku aanandhama irundhuthu. :clap:

As raja_fan observed, I don't see this as just nostaligia or any luck. It is Raja's perseverance and his love for music made him stay and firmly stand against any obstacles for 20 long years, which brought him to score films like Guru/Virumandi/Paa/Cheeni Kum/Pazhassi Raja/SRR & NEPV. Even if GVM is a fan of Raja, if Raja is not in the market, whether he would have approached Raja? No way!. He is an ocean, the imaginations and innovations will never dry. GVM believed in him. Raja is still the same Raja how he was in 80s/90s, only people left him. As I mentioned in SPB-IR thread recently about my talk with my friends on Siraichaalai songs and score, we also thought how people failed to recognize this masterpiece. People (inside the film industry/media) just took advantage of the friction between Raja and the directors/lyricist/producers happened in 90s and made it bigger and made a illusionized shift that Raja is not like before and he is arrogant, except few directors/produces who were very passionate about the music in their films went to Raja. No way in the history he let down any producer/director with his music.

Jai, that was not the right comeback.

VTV 2C OK, oththukkalaam
Next oru sengaaththu boomi varum paarunga which will be sold for 5,000 rupees :lol2:
Only meesic director to achieve such a feet.

And luck ellaam illeeng, given the *right* directors his output has always been very very good. Even post 92. In the last 5 years nandhalaala, naan kadavuL, azhagarsami etc. So he has always been reliable. So GVM going to him was not even a 'blind' decision.

I am waiting for Vetrimaaran / Mysskin / Kumararaja etc. to work with him. Times running out folks.

:lol2:
I think recently 'mudhalvar mahAtmA' (or some movie like that) was given away as free download / open source

(That way, nothing for IRF's to boast on the sale price of NEPV. It's Gautam's achievement IMHO and he would have got it with other top MDs in the market today as well. OTOH, that IR can still arouse interest in such market leaders is definitely something to be proud of! What a staying power! )

Vetrimaaran / Mysskin / Kumararaja - We may get something in lines of Azhagarsaamiyin Kuthirai. But we need IR to work in movies where either the director is somewhat youth director or the Cast shud be the new gen. Surya like... Above all, the director shud be someone Raja shud feel this guy has some matter on his head. Gautam is one such. He is not just a fanboy but also had a plan on what to ask to Raja sir, and how to ask.

None of the Raja album has been hyped like this one and Thalapathy, i mean pre-release hype. For that to happen, some youth appeal need to be there. Only then, the film will "pathikkum" in youths mind from the moment the movie is announced.

I will definitely got with raja_fan and V_S here. I guess my stand will not surprise anyone, least of all Jai :D

It is indeed a fact that Raja had become commercially 'weak' but musically he is still the same. The same imagination flows, the same thirst for experimentation, the need to do something different always and that single minded devotion to perfection. While people have been very harsh about his synth usage, I have argued that it is synth usage that is still keeping him current. People understand that he is not in the 'I have done everything' mode and is willing to adapt.

More importantly, as my friend and fellow hubber NagaS, always tells me that is a wonder that Raja's profile is so high inspite of him not being a 'commercial' success. Why has the profile of a music director, who is supposed to have been swept away by a storm, still so high? Why is it so high inspite of making very powerful enemies in the film world? Why is it so high when the biggest and high profile directors refuse to work with him? Why is it high when he knows not how to speak on stage and doesn't seem to understand the ABC of public relations? There could be only one answer: sheer talent. Great masters of Indian music have slowly faded away and have spent their later days in the shadows. Examples abound. But Raja, even today is a major factor and the only reason is that he delivers. And that is the reason why Gautam went to him. He wanted to leverage on 'Brand Raja' and it definitely was not Raja's luck nor was it nostalgia. Gautam is a very good businessman to let nostalgia get in the way of commercial success. He went to Raja because he knew there is still lot of power to Raja's brand and he milked it quite well I would say.

I had been posting a couple of facts in a KH thread in TF section and it may be appropriate to mention them here as well.

The trigger point was someone (cinefan? cinemarasigan? ) talking about IR not being considered for a "big-bud-city-modern" movie for a long time (in the course of this meaningless discussion about "whether-KH-will-air-lift-rAsA-to-LA").

1. cheeni kum & pA were city / modern types ; interestingly, rAsA's biggest successes in bollywood happened during the period when he is labelled by TF biggies as "commercially unviable" :lol2:

2. pazhassi rAjA & SRR are "big bud" movies in the respective fields

3. NEPV should fit both criteria (big bud / city modern) and it happens right here in TF. Commerce even seems to like it :wink:

App & Suresh

Big budget is not always a Criteria. NEPV is not a big budget right? NEPV landing on Raja's hand is good thing and I am saying about forthcoming strategy. The fans who he already has, thats a good amount. And there airtel supersinger and the Enrenrum raja Concerts are actually letting the gen X know and enjoy the Great melodies of Raja. So a Fan following is slowly happening there. And now that Gautam movie is mostly gonna become a superhit, What would be the next great thing is, Raja to compose for Directors and/or Actors who are considered, or considered by, youth audience. Surya like.

In Directors, even if suppose a Balaji Sakthivel Kind of directors come, i don't think how much impact they will make.

Even a Misskin & Suseendran, instead of a Nandalala & ASK, had they come to raja for a Mugamoodi & Naan Mahaan alla, the whole story would have been different. This is what i am expecting to happen. A Director/Star who is felt youth, or being looked-up by youth and also a Director, whom Raja shud feel, has some sarakku on his mottamaadi.

Otherwise, we will end up with stuff like Dhoni, which, according to me, didnt succeed even to the levels of Nandalala & ASK audio.

And this Mallu and Tollywood movies, they ain't gonna help or do any good for Raja in TFM Market. So No point discussing SRR or PAzhasiRaja. Those Loyalists will always come to Raja again but their success wont be felt at all here.

Hit films like NEPV once in a while is OK. Since its GVM he would have pushed Raaja sir to do something *extra*. But I don't want Raaja to work for hardcore commercial films for the likes of ARM/KVAnand etc even if top stars are acting. No use of his creativity.

OTOH, scoring for films of great directors of this generation (Vetri/Myss/Kumararaja) - music will be God awesome, no two ways about it. I want THAT! If they become a hit, its a bonus.

Btw Dhoni - non starter. Very poor source material.

see bolded name - andha aLavukku irreverence raasaavaala handle panna mudima?

sarakku uLLa director nnu therinjaa namma Raja poonthu veLaaduvaarunga! And Kumararaja's film itself will speak his talent!

There are talented directors both in Masala and Quality category. If likes of Kumararaja are of Quality creators, directors like Hari(to some extent) are Masala types. I am expecting both types shud go to Raja.

But for that, these directors shud believe Raja can give output as like 80s, for that thought to come into their minds, they shud either have some musical taste, or listen to albums like NEPV. After this album releases, I guess there will surely be some handful of these Directors who will think Raja will help their movie both commercially and musically, at same time, can give songs which can go sit in minds of youth

oru padattha vechae kumararaja'va nemba thookki nirutthuradhu avlo sariyaa padalai.. romba focus pannaama avara adutthu velai seyya uttu paappom...

He wrote dialog/screenplay(?) for that mokkai film Va Quater cutting. But then, AaranyaKaandam was too high than that. And adutha velai paaukkurathukku 1st he shud get producer! No signs of that till now!

SS, onnu illeengOv, 2. He wrote Oram Po. Nallaa dialock ezhudhuvaapla. Also listen to the score in Aaranya Kaandam. Yuvan-E ipdeenaa, Raaja 100 times. Home ground vera..

And no he did not write that mokkai VaQC. He just wrote the songs :-)

Oh! Actually i liked Oram Po, to certain extent! Btw, Va Quarter cutting, some sequence had resemblance with the Aaranya kaandam trailer! thatswhy i thot so
