These days album titles are usually given by the music labels and those who are packaging it. In this case, the title seems to hold the story/ theme together. I don't think IR is referred to the Music Messiah here.
:exactly: SVN sir...the music messiah title has to do with the storyline of how music elevates melancholy and a supposedly troubled atmosphere in that story..thus named as music messiah. People just love to bash IR without even looking at proper sources or with proper understanding :lol2:
A pop music sound specialist is called the "Mozart of Chennai". Only God knows what Mozart has to do with pop music or what this guy has to do with Mozart :)
Such is the pathetic condition of music appreciation in this country ! So it is not a big fault if someone calls IR "music messiah" because he is truly a messiah for music to crores of people in South India atleast.
Raja_fan let us not bring ARR into the context..vysar did not even see the album and its storyline properly and deduced that this had something to do with IR...ARR neva calls himself mozart of chennai...it is called by his fans and the press...i think he is called mozart because of the way he has taken india and the abit globally by storm :D

I just read this interesting article on an upcoming composer Alexandre Desplat, who has composed for movies like “Syriana” “The Queen” and “The Painted Veil” and is being touted as a potential "Oscar nominee"!

there are a couple of things that come to my attention here:
1.The way/manner in which music compositions/scores are described/commented upon by film critics in the West is COMPLETELY different from what our critics are capable of!
2. Even though IR is miles ahead of anyone else in the Indian context (and perhaps several other composers in the West too) in the score department, the DISTINCT LACK of critics knowledgeable enough to understand his contribtuions and articulate enough to comment on them, has been a big drag! - IMHO, the one person who is both articulate, talented and knowledgeable enough to carry the 'take-home' message that IR is someone special in the music score department, is one Mr.Kamal Hassan!
3. Just look at the way Desplat's scores are described -
QUOTE: "He wrote and recorded the score for “The Queen” in just three weeks, after Stephen Frears, the film’s director, decided another composer’s score wouldn’t work. “The first thing I said to Stephen was, ‘It’s very tricky,’ ” Mr. Desplat said on a recent visit to Los Angeles. “You can’t go too dark, too suspenseful, too funny or too sweet. What I felt was necessary was music with some grandeur and elegance, but still wit. It’s a witty movie.”-UNQUOTE
doesnt that sound very familiar! I mean dont we know that IR has been doing similar stuff for more than 20 years!
