The producers apparently have spent the biggest amount for any Mallu film ever and want to get back whatever penny they can.
I am sure it will be dubbed in Tamil, having Sarath Kumar in a significant role.
Have to see how IR's tunes sound in Tamil version.
Hope they find some good lyricist in Tamil instead of usual dubbed film lyricists.
I am still not able to bear the incoherent lyrics of the songs of Siraichalai .
Hero : Sempoove poove un megam naan vandhaal oru vazhiyundo
Heroine : Saindhaadum sangil thuli pattaalum mutthaagidum muthunde..
What is the relation between Sempoo and Megam ? What meaning ? What is the answer that Heroine gives for the question of hero ?
Evan ezhudinaan indha paatai ? :)
Krish,
Thanks for the interview link. It was posted sometime back I think this one is a more complete version. I don't know if the songs were as in the TV show or added later by someone. Anyway it is a nice interview. Two observations: 'Mallepoovula' sounds as good as the other songs of the 80s. His answer regarding 'pop corn' music in the end. I think this should clarify certain things to raagas who was earlier upset that Raja called other music as pop corn music.
Sureshs65, I think, in most of the interviews, IR was probably never asked to explain what he means by "pop-corn" music. This interviewer was probably curious and maybe was thinking that IR means that "these pop-corn composers are not composers" and so wanted to clarify. You can see that from IR's reply. He says "you guys have mistaken me.....these composers (pop-corn) would not have earned a good name had they not given good music".
I don't think, one can blame the interviewers too because IR's resposes to some of the questions although answers the question, is still a bit vague to understand. For example, when it comes to composing song in a raga (even here the interviewer asks about sudha dhanyasi), IR always maintains that he does not keep raga in mind and compose. The tune happens to be in that raga. For a genius and "natural" like IR, I can understand what he says and I believe that to be a reason for so many experiments in tune structure and the music too. Still, his response is partly puzzling to me as I think how all his natural creations adhere to a raga so strictly without the need to fine tune (to adhere to that raga). That too, this has been happening for so many years in so many raagas. I was thinking about this point as I am writing and it struck me that, maybe, IR really means what he says and maybe he fine tunes (to stick to a raga) only when its required. See, even for us, who have been following his music all through the years, takes time to understand what he might really mean. Imagine the plight of the interviewer.
thanks,
Krishnan
I enjoyed the interview.. I am always amazed that he can talk all languages ( Tamil.Telugu.Kannada.Malayalam) w/ ease.
1. Memory chip analogy.. Was good.. But i think it is inevitable.. For example, while typing , i see that my spelling ability has gone down and sometimes i have to think a bit about the correct spelling. This is b'cos all the word/email editors i use everyday spell/grammar check is turned on and due to this technology, i find it i am losing my spelling skills. So same with singers.. they get spoilt by technology...( But IR too benefited from that.. I have read long back, when IR was at his peak doing 40-50 films every year, he would record the song in his voice first and then SPB would sing over later due to schedule conflicts. )
2. He says he does not want to guide/give suggestions to other MD's as he himself is still learning by making mistakes.. he says when he has learnt music fully , he would stop creating music.. and i do not want to go into details but i can see what perspective he is coming from.
3. He says the Director of the film does not influence his work. His main inspiration is his involvement with the movie, characters and emotions he sees on the screen. His saptha swarams stem from these. The director of the movie does not have an impact..
4. His comment regarding SPB/SJ/Asha Bhosle was good. He basically says the only singers that can truly understand the composer's intent are SPB/SJ. Asha Bhosle takes any challenge and he usually tends to give her challenging songs.
Cheers

Krish,
Exactly what you said about 'popcorn music'. Our fellow poster 'raagas' was upset earlier in another thread when he heard Raja has spoken about other music being pop corn music. In this video he clarifies that he was asked about pop corn music and that he replied to it. He hadn't said that today's directors give pop corn music. As you rightly say, you cannot blame the interviewer all the time :)
What I find is that Raja seems more comfortable in interviews in other languages than in Tamil. His Malayalam interviews are so open and he is enjoying himself in those. In this interview too he is having a lot of fun.
Can someone translate the whole interview please?
wf,
Yes, I know that notorious song :)
But surely Siraichaalai Tamil songs are foolish..
