There is a fan named 'massimo simmoni' for an Indian MD. The fan was so fascinated with the composers music that he arranged a musical show by the composer in Italy
Not to take away the credit from other composers, there is also a fan named Andrew Llyod Webber for another Indian MD.
but yes these are few stray instances and there is no fan following in a mass scale, for any Indian MD in international arena.

I've recorded some selected IR songs on CD's and given to my Detroit friends (who are musically inclined, play instruments etc) and they cannot stop admiring those...some can even recite those Thamizh lines without any trouble

Music has no language barrier and IR can play to the emotions of any part of the world, esp. with west he'll be easily at home with his WCM calibre)

[kameshratnam]

3. Kamal Haasan wanted to Ilayaraja to score music for Marmayogi, but it was Walt Disney who urged him to rope in A.R.Rahman since he has the mass of international fans.

Earlier when IR was not roped in, he pointed at his directors as the reason and later switched his theme to producers. Why he says this thing over and over and for every movie? I sincerely hope IR puts him in the black list and never composes for his films/productions when he does some low-budget movies. He knows how to talk to IR and get his things done, and I hate IR falling for this guy's talks all the time.

Common Judge, Kamal is the one who always ropes in IR in every of his home production.In 80's and 90's kamal wasn't required to insist on IR to any director/producer as IR was a marketable brand, so there was no problem.

but now every one have their own choice of MD and kamal doesnt want to enter into that issue.Even then he has been accused as interfering in their work.

More over IR and Kamal have good raport between them, there is mutual respect ( do you remember kamal's "kittathata Bharthikku equavalna talentthan idhu").

Not like Rajini, who avoided IR purely for commercial purpose, kmaml is not able to rope IR now a days as most of his recent/future movies are not his own production.

I don't think it's rajni's act to avoid IR. Rajni doesn't involve in selecting MD i guess. This is just my opinion.

PS: Yes, i do have the same doubt as why he went to ARR for his own BABA.

Dhanam - ILamai kanavugaL , true to its meaning is brimming with youthful energy and has some racy guitar works [synth guitar??] .
"Koothu onnu" is quite different and masks a nice melody
[abheri scale like "nila adhu vaanathu mela"]. I won't be surprised if Raja tweaks this tune to create a melodic number in future, the same way he did for "vaadi vethalaipaaku" from "Veera" .
Only IR is capable of makiing a brooding "thathuva paadal" like "kattilukku mattum thaana" sound interesting with nice orchestration and a jumpy tune. But I find the crude lyrics
unpalatable. May be this song would have earned many praise with a different lyrics and a singer like Janaki.
"Kannanukku enna" starts off like "saami kitta solliputten", but
immediately veers away in a different direction, thankfully. This pleasing melody becomes another "kurangu kaiyil poomaalai" in Bhavathaarini's hands till the second charanam, when
SriRam Paarthasarathy and Prassanna join in to salvage the song. What raga is this song?
"UnakuLLe" is another endearing melody with nice singing and
interludes
"uLAGAM KIDAKUDHU" could easily pass off as a HJ poppish song and that is no compliment. "Dhanam Dhanam" is forgettable

thumburu,

Thats an improvement! and iam happy to see that you are liking 5 out of 7 songs from this movie. Iam also observing many other people who had brushed off 'Raaja' as left with no fire anymore are appreciating his current albums.
I hope this positiveness continues and he will enthrall you all with Naan kadavul, Nandalala and Pazhasiraaja soon
