quit discussing other things and enjoy King's Music.

Raagas, Plum, Genesis
If this also doesn't serve proof to the whiners, the only thing the man can do next is wear printed T-shirts with messages on them. 'I'm human, not a saint', 'Beware - stinging tongue', 'I speak my mind, please don't mind', 'don't think otherwise' (gult-land export model)

awesome programme this by kalaignar TV... looking forward to the next week already..

Isaikku Raaja is a commendable effort, no doubt, but I'm afraid it's turning into an opportunity lost, or under-utilized.
The people they've approached to speak about, somehow aren't making full justice to the man's music and the air-time given to them.
Raj (or whatever his name is, sorry) seems knowledgeable, but look at what he speaks about in the show - most of the time is wasted in adjectives and similes. C'mon man, you can afford to be a bit more technical (where again I'm having trouble with his thalam analysis, which I find quite weird, to say the least).
Same's with other guests like Anuradha Krishnamurthy, TP Gajendran, and other producers/directors. Most of these people have stock answers - beautiful song, perfectly suiting the visuals, composed in 10mins, nobody can compose like him. Yeah, we didn't know any of this already, thanks for the gyan.

The show (atleast the technical part) would be far better if they could get people like Rajesh Vaidya, Prasanna or other musicians who are either self-proclaimed IR fans or who have worked with him. Ennamo pOnga, nadakkara muttum sandosham nu vidavEdiyadhu dhan pola.

Is the show still ON ? Hope it goes on as planned.

Does anyone have spare tickets ? two of my freinds popped up yesterday and were looking for tickets. Unfortunately, the online tickets are closed for sale.
Please let me know if anyone has extra tickets for sale. preferably the YELLOW ones.

Thanks again and hope to have a great time tomorrow !!!!!!

yes true. Also to add in the above - that Raja sir brought back Tamil people to listen to tamil songs. This was said by many people in many occasions(Radha Ravi, TP Gajendran).. The person who analyzed Andhimazhai poligiradhu and Naan Kanden song was great.
