Missed thalaivar's contribution in Vishwaroopam
Watched Vishwaroopam at the theatre in Germany this weekend. Though the "Vishwaroopam" song was placed well, the other major "Kathak" song failed to impress inspite of good picturisation.
But where Shankar-Ehsan-Loy failed miserably was in the BGM department. Sweeping takes of "Afganisthan camp" had a pathetic background score, begging for thalaivar's magic touch. Sigh ...
I think Kamal comes up with unimpressive musical albums whenever he teams with somebody else.
100 crores for Viswaroopam - where is Background Score/ songs????
Everyone knows that Kamal nearly lost his shirt by producing "Vikram" and later on "Raaja Paarvai", though music rights came in strongly. So I expected that Viswaroopam would be a world class production with world class music and score. I agree with rooky, irir, venkkiram's comment on background score. Kamal has spent 100 crores on the production but the background score and songs are just ordinary. I cannot understand the simple logic why Kamal didn't give the composing work to Raaja but invited him for the audio launch - very bizarre!!!. Both of them seem to have perfect rapport and majority of Kamal's hit songs are from Maestro. Overall reviews of the film is bad - "The Hindu's" review as always is spot on. No mention of songs or background score which is a big negative for a mega production. I hope that Raajkamal productions could scrape part of 100 crores somehow - tough task. Kamal should also restrict his skills to acting - no one to beat him there.
