Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[rajabhakthan]

And don't forget that both singers have a near flawless pronunciation. Very good job.

I think except for a few people, most of us want something that is 'appealing' rather than 'realistic' . That way , if the set reflects the theme of the movie , it should be ok -

This could be the first movie after 2000, that is written by Kalignar and could be a hit - My wife, who hates prasanth , saw the trailer and was urging me to book tickets - if they market well , the opening can be gud !

I have this uneasy feeling that besides the film itself, the music might actually become a 'patti-thotti' hit! such is IR's luck these days when he does something relatively 'generic' (by his own standards), the album might actually become a hit!

All questions have been answered with this album - A very diverse album by Raaja sir.


My order of preference:


1. Annanmar Kathai / Bavani Varugiraa
2. Thedi Vantha Devadhai
3. Kodi Kotti Koduthalum / Kannai Padithen
4. Malar Villilae

I cant get "thedi vandha" out of my mind. Very enticing and seducing kinda song.
Malar ville - everyone says over orchestrated - but I feel is the awesomest song of its genre till date. The shape shifting done here is unbelievable.
Generic melody beginning with the chorus, ends in a thumping carnatic note - Awesome...
I think the PS team have tried to do a "300" type of period recreation instead of going authentic - very visible in the scenes in the trailer. Yet, synth konjam korachirukkalaam.. (not that it is bad or anything.. same goes for some loop usage..)

[jaiganes]

after a sombre 2010, 2011 has been very brisk and very varied..
Ayyan had two outstanding melodies which we have come to take for granted in every Raaja album.
Azhagar saamiyin kudhirai is a Dhoni sixer - all deliveries out of the park - but one felt it was more of 20-20.
So Ponnar Sankar is a proper one day and it is pretty electric - a very healthy strike rate here..
now whats up next ???

[MumbaiRamki]

jaiganes, apt metaphor !

I strongly feel , after repeated hearings that KR definetly has done some of the orchestration in few songs .Of course, we can never verify this ...

Fair review and I agree with Karthik on that Intro song ...Suresh might come strong and Karthik might refer DRS

Me waiting for 'padiththuRai' (director SukA)...

After reading all these comments here, I'm now a little enthusiastic about listening to the Prashanth movie songs...may be sometime this evening...

Me waiting for 'padiththuRai' (director SukA)...

God only knows when Padithurai will release. Hopefully Arya will release after his MR's Ponniyin Selvan release. We have been waiting for this film and music for the past two years, not good at all.
