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

[Sureshs65]

Saw 'SreeRamaRajyam' today. Here is an analysis I wrote on twitter:
Well made movie. Bapu's control is evident throughout. A steady screenplay, with neither highs nor lows. Lot of money spent on sets and graphics but tastefully done. Bapu ensures that the movie doesn't get too melodramatic and keeps things under control. Balakrishna looks old but must be lauded for doing a role which is no 'non heroic'. No special dialogs for him. Nayantara looks pretty and the Lava Kusa kids do their job well. Their roles nicely detailed by Bapu. Raja's music and photography / art deco are key to keeping the audience attention. Raja is phenomenal in BGM. The BGM when Sita comes to see her own statue and the end credits are top class. I wish they would release teh end credits. And the way Raja weaves the BGM against the 'sreekaram manoharam' phrase is sheer genius. All in all, a nice movie. Treat for the eyes and ears. Don't expect anything earth shaking and you shall be rewarded. Wish someone would record the end credits of 'SreeRamaRajyam' and post in on the web.

Now waiting for Plum's detailed review.
