[selvakumar]

Please note 'for NK also you will have to beg to differ A LOT'

Why ? May be you think everyone will be in *begging mode* after that ?

Sorry... I won't enter into that mode at any point of my life.. Hope you get that

I have always kept this AWAY from this section Judge.
Moreover, I don't think I will DISCUSS on this in my life time.
I should have some info on that. I don't think I will GAIN it

my initial impressions of Mallepoovu

1.chandamama - WOW first interlude with beautiful piano usage and strings are a welcome addition! the charanam has the flow that we all know IR for! but strictly IR shd not have sung this song and if he can also do away with the synth replacing with live instruments, then....

2.chirugaali - hmmm - ok tune and uninteresting interlude

3.gaajula - didnt impress me on first hearing - maybe tailored to a situation - again interludes are missing IR's zing

4.hero - once-listen-forget-it track - second interlude has a short violin soliloquy that just gives a whiff of IR's class, but the overall song - wudnt touch it with a bargepole from a distance

5.lokam - am getting tired of such insipid tunes from IR -

6. malle poovulo - nice pallavi, with weird sounds in the first interlude, ordinary charanam - second interlude starts off interestingly but then meanders away - charanam has an underlying spanish guitar like sound

7.suvvi suvvi - prelude is IR of the old - pallavi is rhythm based hence melody is chequered - 1st interlude is WOW! - charanam is so-so on first hearing

8.Theme music - pick of the album! but would not rank it with any of earlier IR's themes

9.vaasthava natho - interesting beginning with spanish (or is it latino-style ?) riffs and then comes 3 min of torture

hmmm - overall IR seems to be content with giving 3 good nos in an album that promised much - maybe am being too greedy

at this jucture, IR needs a BIG commercial breakthrough - which for him cannot/will not happen (IMO) without a genuinely attractive album with him in full form - that has always been the case with most of his telugu films/albms, during the 1980s and early 1990s - his half-hearted attempts will not gain popular acceptance

Mallepoovu has one great 'chandamama' and 3 decent tracks in "chirugali", "gajula" and "mallepoovolo" - though they are way ahead of contemporary tunes, from a HCIRF view, they are below his earlier standards

IR is perhaps not pushing himself hard enough for non-malayalam films! what am looking forward to is an explosive album that will stun with its variety and tempo - if IR had not done an album called GURU (Malayalam) or a Devadhai, a Hey Ram, an MX, an Azhaghi, my expectations wudnt have been this high!

IMO, Uliyin osai is the pick of all of IR's recent albums!

People like a_e, Jaiganes and irir123 etc,


please dont digress too much like Rahni, MSV etc unless the info you post has some relevance to this thread !

I have seen a_e deleting such posts from the thread. But when it comes to his own digressions, I don't know what he is doing !!

I liked suvvi suvvi , hero nonchene song very much , esp the latter for the cool backgrounds.

Did anybody feel that the charanam of chirugali was mesmerising and the pallavi /anu pallavi was average ?

[raja_fan]

MP songs are going to be big hits in AP. No doubts about it !
