yes it must be the ad-man balki. He is a crazy IR fan(atic). He is also a big shot in the Indian advt industry. He was a invited to give a guest lecture in IIM-K and it seems he introduced himself as " Hi I am Balakrishnan better known as Balki. I am the biggest fan of IR in this universe.".and then started the lecture(on business/marketing ofcourse)...according to my sister who attened this lecture.

Rasathanthram songs available in Music India online.
Two songs are nice and fresh.

Rasathanthram --> All have a Dejavu feeling. Engeyo Ketta Padalgal.

Having said that loved Chitra's rendition of 'Poo Kunguma Poo'.

Worth buying for her singing alone.

Hi
Kiru,
I was looking for MP3 datbase, because in addition to portable media player, I like streaming to my stereo also which many networked media players are doing, I don't know if anybody has good experience with lossless WMA formats
JG,
another reason probably I liked all those three songs, probably was because we were used to the unique melodies of IR and barring VS there is hardly any new MDs who give a genuine melody these days and we are overwhelmed by all those Hiphop songs and Kuthu songs in every other film ( although YSR/HJ are still coming out with some impressive numbers consistantly), amidst all these IR's recent ones kind of pulled me back to my yester years, I really hope the director does a good job in picturising these songs

MSK,
"Putham puthu kaalai" song is one of those songs which falls in the list which even if IR will ever give another similar one in his life time, Teja mentioned sometime back that even a rehash of this in Telugu version will speak volumes , I recently watched the telugu vamshi film on DVD " Kanaka Mahalakshmi RDT" what a surprise , the movie has BGM clips of "Putham puthu Kaalai" song palyed in flute multiple times

Lastly , I just finished ripping the BGM pieces of " uthiri Pookkal" ( good quality) , awesome BGM ( see links below for down load) and what a great movie my God I had never seen this movie before, just fabulous , somehow had missed it ( I got few good quality VCDs of Mahendran movies and Old Bharathiraja movies from India) ...amazing script ( based on a short story published in a tamil Magazine) no melodrama absolutely and from start to finish , yadhartam na idhu ( the only good movie I liked with this kind of down to earth, matter of fact kind script in years "Kaadhal") well I can go on and on, watched Mullum Malarum back to back ( another great movie I can write so much about), and finally this is what was coming to mind about the Tamil film state of affairs in the recent years, TN makkal who welcomed and made these kind of great movies a great hit in 80's what is making them to su*k it upto the crass movies which are getting undue attention these years evey other movie of Vijay, Ajith and u name it , even if a new director comes out with some good script or a decent film, it gets totally ignored
( although Kamal, rajini also had number of Masala movies under the tag family entertrainer etc during those days , but my gripe is good movies which deserved attention got good attention then, but that is not the case now.. too much off unwanted media driven hype and marketing is another reason, but Makkal's taste has taken 180 degree turn )

About Uthiri Pookal BGM so solid , the mixed emotions created by IR's magic is spell binding, he rules the entire movie like a king
"Azhagiya kannae" theme played in so many different ways in different situation, the interludes of the very same song hitting at right spots with mesmerizing emotions. I had never heard the tilte song by IR , which has the interlude music of "Azhagiya kanne" in a slightly modified way , surprising bits of SP Shailu's " Azhagiya Kannae" and title song humming etc.. etc..

Well said, Prabhu das. Your thoughts synergized with mine when you mentioned
"and finally this is what was coming to mind about the Tamil film state of affairs in the recent years, TN makkal who welcomed and made these kind of great movies a great hit in 80's what is making them to su*k it upto the crass movies which are getting undue attention these years evey other movie of Vijay, Ajith and u name it".

I really liked your comments on Uthiri Pookkal as well.

Couple of points related to this:

1. I recently read the top ten personal favorites of actor Vikram and this movie stands at # 2, I guess. I haven't sen this movie completely and I will try to grab a DVD of this.

2. There used to be a program in the earlier days of the DD Metro channel. It was like taking a hit film and the main crew (not the cast.. also the crew, it's time we give credit to the crew and not idolize the cast) talking about their experience in the movie. I remember Mahendran saying that the leading actress was actually from Bangalore and was termed as an unlucky actress in Kannada film industry. But, Mahendran on seeing her face got totally convinced that she could very well fit in the role he was looking for in Uthiri Pookkal..

Azhagiye Kanne song gives me goosebumps whenever I hear.. Donno why.
