1000 KG photo Cake at express avenue featuring 1000 photos of Ilayaraaja

The entire money from the selling of the cake will be given to EKAM FOUNDATION

I sincerely hope what they claim is true: That the gigantic cake will have the album covers of all of IR's movies. That itself is a massive project - to collate all the album covers from Annakkili to NEPV.

In that case, it would be great if the scans of these 950+ albums can be published somewhere online.

Or would it be just a general collage of IR photos coupled with some actor/ actress photos from the past 3 decades?

Wonderful writeup @V_S. SRR Title score is easily one of the best Raja has ever come up with. Especially from 1:23... Ultimate goosebumpy stuff! I haven't noticed the correlation between the scenes and the score till I read your article. I just played the DVD again. That score makes all the more sense now. Amazing what goes on in Raja's mind. A true genius!

only 40k? thats nothing really for the fan base he has. others just downloading for free and praising Raja sir for his efforts? are we not obligated to buy the originals to support him to do more and more of these...

OR is this 40k the upper limit for CD sales these days?
