I wont call Salangai Oli a classical movie. A classic movie perhaps. 8-)

that exactly is the point when you begin comparing. IR is not inferior to anyone and neither are ARR and VS. Each have their own strengths and weakness and when you begin this comparison game, there is going to be no end to it.

I brought in KVM to stop the assumption taken here that IR is the best classical musician ever, which he is certainly not.

i loved KVM's Thillana Moganambal ..... 1 of the greatest score in TFM..... :wink:

true, if you're looking post 65. go back further and you will be amazed as you discover pearl after pearl - which is one of the advantages in growing old. :lol:

who next after ARR has yet to be answered. once we had high hopes on several newcomers, but apart from a brilliance here and another there, hardly anyone has made an effect.

latest addition GVP - the 18 year old chap is just another rahman clone. :sigh2:

I dont need to ask any common friends. why are you dragging others for help? :-) I listened and there is hardly any resemblance. And you dont need score sheets to identify a few bars of resemblance, pleaaase :-) The resemblance is fleeting at best, not enough IMO to even call it a strong inspiration leave alone a lift

---

I am dragging others to help YOU :-)...If you say the resemblance is fleeting then I can get more people to offer you a helping hand. I offered to give you the sheet to get that into your head.

it thrills me to no end when the younger generation (you are 17?) begin to appreciate older compositions. :2thumbsup:

really there are treasures left behind by our forefathers and you will never stop being amazed by how much they have done with so little in hand.

not only humle....he accepts he copies...

but ...though he copies..the quality of copying is top class.....idhuvum oru vagayil samooga sevaithan....pira naatu sarakai namaku virpadhu

Thillana Mohanambal was folk with classical...:P....but i liked his other movies like karnan....mahakavi kalidass...thiruvilaiyaadal...aathi parashakthi...shakthi leelai. The instrumentation in there was breathtaking...seringa NOV..i will go and take a look :cool: :D

Sorry, I didnt ask for any. You were the one clinging on to "common friends" from the beginning.
Your ignorance is evident from the fact that you need scoresheets(of which you know nothing much) to identify a couple of bars of resemblance :-), as if we are comparing 2 symphonies here. I didnt bother to waste time on something that hardly had a couple of bars of resemblance and that too just in the meter aspect. Idha poyi lift'nnu sonna vizhindhu vizhundhu sirippaanga. Try asking around and see if anyone agrees with you. And while you are it, ask Rahman to send a copy of Mellisaye's scoresheet too so that you can compare :-) Because there is no use having just the scoresheet of one song and not the other, especially for you

NOV, this Mr.Judge character is just a flamebaiter. Dont bother wasting your time replying with examples. He doesnt even have the inclination to indulge in a meaningful discussion.

vijayr & shankar, both of you are seasoned and valuable hubbers. pls agree to disagree and move on. 8-)
