Sindhanai Selvar Dr.Kamal HaasaR - favourite movies,scenes 2

[Avadi to America]

Irrir123,
I like all the songs from Ilamai oonjaldugirathu.... most of the songs in the movie are city base tunes except this one....i truly love this song....

[Avadi to America]

Avadi to America - I am usually very composed most of the times, particularly last 10 years or so - but this was one event, I just could not control my emotions!

man, honestly, I consider myself extremely 'blessed' / fortunate to have lived my school (chennai) and college (hyderabad) years during the golden years of IR's music!

and IR gave a truely balanced concert covering both telugu and tamil songs impeccably!

if i win a lottery for a million dollars, I will personally have an IR concert in NY times square with Adele, or, Celine Dion singing 'satru munbu', 'oru naal andha oru naal', 'idhayam pogudhey' etc

I absolutely agree with you man!!!. live music can bring emotional touch.....if not ilayaraj who will.....

irr, i would call the 'maasi maasam' better as its a very soothing melody, the voice... whatta beautiful
back then we will hav to switch channels when this song is on, terming it a adults only...
i started admiring it more when 'kattippudi kattipudidaa' came which copied almost the complete rhythm part...

pardon me, i hav not heard the 'thanni karut...' one as many times... you can add a imo to my comment

softsword - IR gave a tune to the late Sridhar based on how the latter described the scene to him as a background song, featuring two rustic dancers - it would have been a much better melody, had the situation been for the main character, played by Kamal.

'maasi maasam' was/is a super melody - no doubt abt that - its one of my alltime favorites from IR - but we got to keep in mind what the director must have requested the composer for - 'enakku ippadi thaan venumnu' kettaa, appadithhaan kidaikkum.

when Iilamai Onjaldukirathu was released in 1978, raja had two years of professional experience whereas in 1991 when Dhrma durai got released he had 15 years of experience and completed 500+ movies... perhaps he had learned more in terms of understanding people and what their requirements are.

IR had given great nos in terms of creativity during the 1970s itself - so this was probably something he had to give as per the directors requirement

irir... IR - Sridhar - music making process ellaam edhukku ulla kondu varinga... neither was i weighing those based on the period... i was talking in terms of standalone songs irrespective to what and how they were conceived... maasi maasam takes the maambazham...

Watched Avvai Shanmugi yesterday night..nth time... as every one knew it was a laugh riot. Never felt boring even for a single minute... Dialogues by Crazy Mohan is superb and I was laughing for some more time even after the movie was over... Need to mention that Casting for this movie is excellent. The legends Gemini, Nagesh have added lot of value to the movie and the scenes involving these 2 were highlights of this movie. The sequence where Nages take money from Gemini is memorable.. Delhi Ganesh, Nasser & Manivannan also have done their part very well.. The "theliya vachu theliya vachu adikkara" scene is also superb...

Kamal's acting as Shanmugi is one of the best roles he had done.. This is one movie we can watch whenever we want to laugh...
