Sarakku Balakrishnan

BTW, charakku's meaning in Malayalam is worse, add a thuNaikkAl

"Enna Kutham" - Idhuvum nalla thaane irukku.....

[kiru]

Mostly familiar tunes/rhythms (even inspite of some innovations). Still enjoyable. yathae continues in the oliyilE therivadhu genre - western drumkit+guitar etc for a rustic song. Bhavatharini has grown up in this song. Sriram's voice, as mentioned is getting more "malleable". It is difficult to beat MV in bhaavam.. but something you can work on where as the singing ability is more difficult to cultivate which he has taken care of already.

Was just checking Wiki and saw this list of films that are under 2011 release. Where the hell are these!?

Some info on Pachai kudai here:

Excerpt:
The music legend of 80’s and 90’s Isaignani Ilayaraja is always there to encourage good things. He is at it again, as Ilayaraja has worked without taking any remuneration for ‘Pachai Kudai’, a film by director R Selvaraj, which talks about the importance of green cover to protect the world from global warming.
Isaignani Ilayaraja has composed tunes for hundreds of big hit films but this musical genius is all content with compositions only for simple and meaningful productions.
Selvaraj is a longtime colleague of Bharathiraja and Mani Ratnam and he is the brain behind some of the blockbuster films of Kollywood. Now he has come out with ‘Pachai Kudai’, a period film which is about a pair who lived 2,000 years ago.
And, the big news is that Ilayaraja is doing the composition by taking nothing as salary for the film. Yes, the Maestro has politely rejected the offer of salary for the film saying, “This film is one that tells the message of the green cover of the earth, and propagates greenery and saving our mother Earth. It is my responsibility and duty to do my part for the well-being of our planet”.

The audio of Dhoni, produced by Prakash Raj’s Duet Movies was launched by the legendary Ilayaraja who is also the music director of the film at a grand ceremony at the Anna Centenary Library on Jan 28 evening.

The film marks the entry of Prakash Raj into the director’s league where he was warmly welcomed by fellow director KS Ravikumar who was one of the many luminaries to grace the occasion.

The highlight of the event was the live orchestra conducted by Ilayaraja himself, playing each song for the audience as Prakash Raj introduced what went on behind the scenes and his experiences while working with the maestro for this film.

Parthiban gave a grand introduction and welcome to the maestro, welcoming him onto the stage before the performance began.

Biggies of Kollywood like K Balachander, the man who introduced Prakash into films, heaped laurels on his protege and spoke of his association with the maestro, while Balu Mahendra, Mahendran, Nasser, Jeyam Raja, KS Ravikumar, SA Chandrasekar, Na Muthukumar, Radha Mohan and others spoke of their association with Prakash and the Maestro.

Nasser’s long account of his experience while recording the music with Ilayaraja for of his first production Avatar, enacted on stage by him in an impromptu speech, drew much applause and laughs, even from Ilayaraja himself.


A trailer and songs were shown. Speaking to the media before the event, Ilayaraja said, “This is a film which raises many questions about education and those responsible must answer to them.”
Prakash Raj has also done the lead role in the film. KV Guhan has done the camerawork and Na Muthukumar, the lyrics. Prakash Raj was elated that the maestro had agreed to perform live for this event, a rare opportunity for the audiences.

“This function is my dream come true,” he said. Recalling the experience of working with him he added, “In 45 minutes he had five tunes ready. It was amazing!”

To show the effect of the maestro’s re recording in the film, Prakash held a screening of one scene without any background score and then the same scene was played with the music added. The film is slated for a February release.

படத்தின் ஒரு காட்சியை பின்னணி இசையில்லாமல் திரையிட்டு காட்டிவிட்டு, பின்னர் இளையராஜா அக்காட்சிக்கு பின்னணி இசை எப்படி அமைத்து இருக்கிறார் என்பதை திரையிட்டு காட்டியது அனைவரையும் கவர்ந்தது.

Now this trend is increasing! Nicee
