Maestro Ilayaraja News and Tidbits 2014

[mappi]

Sudhakarg,

Megha is a beautiful tale. The approach is what makes this film quite unique, and IR songs/BGM adds to the needed ambience and provokes the interest. The song in question "Jeevane Jeevane" occurs in 3 vital places. Firstly if you listen to the audio, the opening is jumbled as though its a part of a piece. Thats exactly where you hear it for the first time when he finds out that Megha is missing. Then the second occurence is riveting. It gives the audience a huge experience while watching it. 'Megha Romance' is not like 'boyish-girlish', but something true which the director established with IR musical. So during its second phase, it was really quite real. And finally, in the hospital, the revelation.

IR only can provide the 3 types of emotions - inquietude, feebleness & convalescence - in a single piece of music. The choice of instruments he takes does the magic and he renders exactly what you should hear to get provoked by the visuals. Karthik Rishi has not only convinced his devotion towards IR, but gave him a ground to play his excellence.

A box office sucess depends on various aspects and not just a gossip website report. So I will never be in a position to pronounce/provide any financial trade details. But rest assured that 'Good movies will always Survive'. Megha is a good movie.

For the change you are talking about, I can't comment on it as its your fan-wish.
But I can tell you this : Where ever you go, which ever place you visit, what ever food you eat, you come home running for the mother's meal.

IR's music is THE Mother's Meal. It can't change neither in its presentation, color, flavour, taste more importantly the love & passion.
'So Lovely' as it is.
