இளையராஜாவின் திருவாசகம் கேட்டபோது
Writer S.Ramakrishnan, about his experiences with Thiruvasagam & other Raja's songs
http://sramakrishnan.com/view.asp?id=209&PS=1
An excellent writeup by S.Ramakrishnan. 'Tiruvasagam' is definitely one of the greatest achievement of any Indian music director. (I wish I could translate this for people like raagas but my English is no match to Ramakrishnan's tamil). I liked one sentence in this very much and it expresses so well what each one of us feel. "The genius of Illayaraja, of which you can never get tired". Well said.
Thanks for the link Vignesh.

Cool.. I know.. somethings are better off as they are, without any translation. but i got the intent of it, though not the content. nevermind.
A journalist from Hindu, Bangalore had gone to watch Illayaraja while he was doing the background score for 'Nandala'. He narrates his experience here.

One thing we can understand is that 'Raaja' has felt Mysskin had made him "work" hard for the BGM. We could expect some real great score :)
IR should have felt energized (instead of drained) after working hard for NK and nandhalala. Hope he converts that energy into some good albums in 2009. I want more people to make him work hard.Quote:

@ Above
The news is totally wrong..the movie was totally cleared on dec 31st by the censor board and how cud IR do the RR On jan 1st..if u are gonna give a movie for censor..the movie shd be fully ready isnt it..
A movie can be sent to censor without BGM! They are more concerned about visuals and dialogues which needs to be censored rather than the music.Quote:

We all know Raaja will come out with flying colors :notworthy:

Ilayaraja tries to compose music like his son yuvan
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=fP6c1X...eature=related
I have seen this before. When he imitates Yuvan, he was full of energy and happy. :D Why can't he do something like that in his albums? Definitely the youngsters will like it. He has been doing only the other versions of mAnguliyE he tried on stage :roll:Quote:

SRK
Posted: Sep 19, 2008 at 1458 hrs IST
This is the story of Shivaji Rao Khote (Vinay Pathak), who is fondly called S.R.K. by his friends. SRK is a graduate in Economics and a schoolteacher in Kerala. He lives with his wife, Vidya (Rituparna Sengupta) and two young daughters. SRK always feels that his meagre job is keeping him away from a grand ambitious life in the big city.
He quits his job to pursue other career avenues but fails at all. His wife Vidya struggles to keep their household running as SRK flounders more than he earns. Both Vidya’s and SRK’s fathers, who are ex-servicemen, decided to mend SRK’s ways. They decided to send him on a religious voyage to Sabrimala to help realise his responsibilities.
But, their plan backfires as SRK returns reformed but becomes obsessed with the idea of becoming a sanyasi. He takes to the life of hermit and wanders about aimlessly. A lonesome Vidya decides to work her way out of troubles and starts sewing clothes for contracts.
“SRK is a story of great topical and social relevance, dealing with the lives of those who desire luxury but are not prepared to work hard. We wrote the script by combining satire and humour and made the situations of the film hilarious and enlightening at the same time.
In SRK we have tried to unfold the mind of an idler and show the realism and biting sarcasm of it. I have tried to draw inspiration from the commercially successful and critically-acclaimed Malayalam film, Chintavishta Aaya Shyamala, written, directed and enacted by Sreenivasan, one of the most popular personalities of Malayalam cinema.
This film draws on the saying, “people become reasonable only as a last resort.” The film lays bare the hypocrisy and indifference that affect some people in our society. The message of SRK is conveyed with great force; effective in its impact and delightfully humorous in treatment.”
This is a remake of chitha vishishtaya shyamalan - which was remade as 'Chidambarathil oru appasamy' by Thangar. However this project has the blessing of Sreenivasan the original writer - so we can have some hopes
