irir123,

I have heard similar reports about Murugados and 'Ramana'. That Raja was very happy seeing the movie and took over the BGM completely. That Murugados wanted a sad song in the end by Raja refused saying it wouldn't do good to the movie. Again, Raja's judgment and BGM for that movie turning out to be perfect but Murugados not happy with Raja's taking over of the BGM. That is why he went to Harris for his next movie. Again, not sure how far it is true but going by the grapevine what you say now seems familiar.

the same grapevine thingy i think might have most likely happened with Mani Ratnam over 'Thalapathy' as well! in Thalapathy's case, i think the songs were the problem - MR narrates story to IR and by afternoon, IR finalises all the tunes and end of story - no more changes despite MR wanting to hear more tunes - once again, it was IR's judgement of the film, its needs and the songs cudnt have been better fits! but MR is unhappy!

It's a typical ego clash case right? The director thinks he's the captain of the ship, but a foot soldier does the right thing :)

This story is quite new to me for IR-MR split... what I heard earlier for their split..

As most of us know that Thalapathi was composed and recorded in Bombay. During one of those composing sessions, GV (MR's brother / Thalapthi's producer) got a call from chennai that IR's mother was very serious... but GV thought if he communicates this to IR, recording will be spoiled.. so he did NOT inform IR about this.. IR is very kind / affectionate for his mother... later IR came to know this and upset which caused the split between him & MR though there is NO direct split between them anytime....

this paved the way for another brillaint composer ARR...

Its not that way. IR had problem with K.Balachander, who was producing Roja and hence MR had to opt for new composer.

Apparently, Bala, I believe is not very happy with IR taking over NAN KADAVUL completely with his BG score without consulting him! that IR's judgement turned out to be perfect is a different issue - but from Bala's perspective, IR simply rode roughshod dictating terms in the BGM dept without asking for Bala's opinion! at least this is what I heard

and Bala hopes to have a better association/camaraderie with ARR - which might actually happen

Bala was giving interviews saying thalaivar was so spellbound that he made sure the BGM was first class and after hearing it he felt that the effect of the movie was enhanced 40 times more and you heard this? :?

Anyways its normal for people choosing other composers for more commercialised, simple scripts. Thalaivar caters to the script which has complicated screenplay. :D

If I remember correct, that was music played from a record / cassette. Much like the way "english" songs as funkitown, stayin' alive etc. got played for some 'cool scenes' in the early 80's.

I used to listen to the theme in question frequently in Radio Australia during college days - i.e. much before agni *.

இந்த வலைப்பூ மக்கள் இன்னும் என்னென்ன கண்டுபிடிப்புகள் செய்யப்போறாங்கன்னு தெரியலையே? எப்படியோ ராசாவைக்குறை சொல்லியாவது பத்துப்பேர் சந்தோசமா இருந்தாச்சரி :-)
