Obviously. How do you explain the fact that 80% of the posts in this thread are by ARR fans?

Do you still take dinesh seriously??? (kumari = ale ale (veriii nuetral indeed) ...what more do we need..?? i wish they had a filter for dinesh ..

Well I felt the picturisation for iyengar veetu ..started out great ...and tapered into pedestrian .. sort of T rajender style with big sets and stuff.. missed the buss there for want of fantasy ..

And also Kadhal yaanai .. didnt make an impact.. case of song sounding better in audio and not visuals... another classic case will be 'Fanaah '' from AE.. that song could have been a classic..

Other songs were well picturised.. andankakka just rocked the theatre.... would be impossible to find a soul who would move his eyes off the screen .. (unless u r the one trying to find this out) ...

As far as HJ goes.. his BGM/Music isnt bad.. its adequate.. but not something spectacular... the theme was used very effectively... and as Music4Ever pointed out the songs are not that bad.. as 'some' people here make out to be.. the songs still rock my car.. and quite a few others too ..
The movie had many flaws... (biggest among them is the stadium sequence) .. but hey who cares... it was 3 hours of entertainment.. worth the money... my guess is that it should do pretty well in the box office..

"Even today ARR's music(like Bose, SWades) sound a few years ahead of what these tamil MDs are churniung out. "

Swades music is very good, but nothing Phenomenal (with a capital P). I haven't listened too much of Bose yet, so can't comment. I was talking about *some* ARR fans, those who like his commercial TFM albums, not his seemingly esoteric hindi stuff. They are the ones who, I guess, frequent this thread. ARR has not given a hit since New. It may be because he hasn't composed much, but the fact is HJ's songs are getting more and more popular, no matter what some of us may claim. His ChellamE songs were good (listen to the lovely kAdhalikkum Asai illai number) Arasakchi was good (listen to the delightful Mohalai Mohalai number), Ullam kEtkume has unexpectedly listenable songs (to wit, ennai pandhAda) and Anniyan has some good songs too. So I again ask the same question: Is it the case that some ARR fans are threatened by the emergence of Harris?

This thread is full of biased ARR fans. Come on guys, I'm a big fan of ARR myself, but HJ is not inferior though. ANNIYAN had great songs and BGM. Why do you guys compare so much with other movies??? Every movie is different and dont be toooo critical. Just learn to appreciate others' work.... ANNIYAN is already in par with Chandramukhi collection-wise, and Vikram is sure in line for his next National award. For Dinesh to say that this is the best comedy movie is utter ______

Again, the answer is NO. Also, the answer depends on who you consider ARR fans. I personally consider ARR in a diff league altogether. Listening to soem of his stuff in recent Hindi albums just proves he is re-inventing himsef constantly in every album.

Just because he has not give any albums since New does not mean he is getting worse and someone should feel threatened. If its the case where ARR albums have been along side HJ's and have been flops then I agree with the word "threaten".. But looking at the ground reality now.. NO!.. I am happily smiling looking at ARR's position as for me he is the King of TFM.

"ARR has not given a hit since New"

What do u mean - that was his last tamil film and that was a hit - what else do u want?

"It may be because he hasn't composed much, but the fact is HJ's songs are getting more and more popular, no matter what some of us may claim.

Now this questions ur music sense!!

I frankly think HJ's last good song was Ye Chilipi from Gharshana - that was one year back and all the other crapy songs clearly show he is out of stock!!

**Arjuna** · 24th June 2005, 01:11 AM

And that idiot HJ claims in AV - "Shankar says that he never had such good songs in his films!"

HJ - I guess shuld shut his mouth first and start composing rather than talking and using producers money to visit Phuket Islands!!
