Kamal-Ilayaraaja-Singeetham Rao-MUMBAI EXPRESS

[thops]

after a couple of listenings...pretty good stuff from IR considering the fact that he is sick of film music...

[vijayr]

Alwarpet_andavan, explain how the vocal/tune portion of Poo pothadhu is "vocal jazz"? Its just a plain ordinary IRish tune, no jazz to it. Kurangu Kayyil's interludes are the only areas where you sense some semblance of Jazz.

I am surprised nobody has said anything about the vande maataram song... It has been TOTALLY butchered. I am sure this is for a supposedly comic scene in the movie, but still it is not not an excuse to butcher our national song like this.

I know I am going to get flamed but sorry to say this, I never expected this from IR!

Dude ,

I totally agree ..I have posted the same in KamalHassan groups ...
I never expected this from kamal Hassan and IR !!!!

Thrilled by the JAZZ ,i forgot this point !!!!

[MumbaiRamki]

Adding ...
Censor has refused this song to be included in the movie !! Kamal is re-shooting this song !!!

well, as an antidote, you can listen to "vande maataram" from Saaza-e-kaalapani by IR. Now that's some inspiring music. Dont listen to Mano's hapless Tamil version.

You can not conclude anythign prior to seeing the movie. I also was pissed off listening to the song, but this is a song that the young boy sing in the school and while singing the song he was making some some jokes/playing with other kids - which is quite normal. If you havent done that in your kiddish days, then you missed your kiddish days. Infact I liked this bit song well at the end, because after singing this like kiddish, the end was more serious and I felt that was a better tune for vandematharam than the current tune that we all hear in AIR.

Kamal is not shooting or anything for Vandematharam. ME got censor clearance with U certificate.

Regarding the news about why the audio is not released (click here http://etamil.blogspot.com/2005/04/blog-post_04.html), I am not at all surprised, because for Virumandi Kamal asked 200,000 for releasing all over USA, saying that it is in no way worst than Baba and if you are ready to give 200,000 to baba, why not for my film.

Kamal has to understand something, he doesnt have the same market as Rajini. Period. This is more true after Aalavandan & Hey Ram. Anbe sivam is a good movie, but in NJ only 500 ppl turned for the show. For Baba, first show itself had 1200 people in NJ. Even for Vasool Raja, we had only 125 ppl in NJ in the first show and 7 ppl on second day. So Kamals market is different than Rajini and he can not quote the same price.

Now, regarding Chandramukhi, copy right for NJ itself is 20000, and mumbai xpress is 12500 (reasonable), but this time who ever release ME will make more money than CM because Baba had a big -ve impact on Rajini films and ppl wont drive from different state (which they did for Baba) and get disappinted.

Now since both Kamal and IR doesnt have audio market (rajini, ARR and YSR has audio market), they have to price the product little less.

BTW, I dont know why ppl think it has only 4 songs!
