Firstly, where the hell is he? I know he did some concerts or something but where are all his latest movies and hits? Parasuram should be opening soon but what happened to the rest?? I was looking fwd to Yelelo, Boys, New, E18U20(something like that!), etc. All these films supposed to have opened some time ago but they have vanished. Did he delay these films again or the producers withdrew the films?
What's more, nowadays his music has become so mundane that the feelings I use to have looking out for the release so eagerly have also vanished. Has the upsurge in quality by other newcomers made his music so mundane? Has he given up film music. His Bombay Dreams has been a total failure and a waste of time listening to it. Just where is he & what is he up to?

as(s):
dai we need to be proud of that. I see from the link that Columbia pictures are part of that. Hey its a hollywood film then and its a cross over film of him. I am happy for a tamilian who has atleast endevoured to try some thing like this. My son even with his music knowledge is running the horse in a fat bottom pot. Avanuku visoin and thinking in this line pathadhu.
Instaed of complaing wish that this attempt by Duleep takes TFM and Indian name to great hights.
Summa kathaadeenga da.

I REALLY doubt arr can again even compose an album like boys... 1992 roja, 2003 boys. i think it will take another 5-6 yrs to compose another album like this with all songs absolutely rocking..boys is rocking the world, no matter who says what !!! it is the truth !!!

The last chance BOYS also went to flop.
Hmmm. What to say. Let us wait for some movie.
May be maniratnam's movie.

maybe Boys movie is in controversy...but the Boys songs are huge hit..in Malaysia, Boys cd/cassette is selling like hot cake...even some shops are out of stock..
ARR is still popular...his next Unaku 20 Enaku 18 and NEW will top the charts soon..

according to my calculation ARR has made the biggest comeback by any MD in TFM history...... look at this stat: after Thenali....
1. Kannathil Muthamittal ( Flop-music and movie)
2. Udaya (Flop- music and movie never took off)
3. Kadhal Virus and Parasuram( worst 2 flops in ARR carrer with only 4 digit sales)
4. YSR,HJ,VS producing some really good stuff like Run,TI,Minnale and IR threatening with songs from Azhagi, Kaasi.....
5. the most significant factor-hardcore fans (like me) started doubting his abilities......
then came BOYSSS.......
(1.over 2 lakh units sold
2. reviving the music industry
3. hit in nook and corner and provided the best platform for movie to release....
so ARR has pulled off a very gr8 comeback according to me........

Boys is a great setback in both shankar-arr combo. Those songs haven't received well in TN. More flops from arr are on the way, u20e28, new and kangalal kaithu sei.
So sit back!

I recently saw the trailer of U20E18 in Germany while we went for the Boys movie. They screened all the songs of the movie in bits and pieces. Only one song seemed to catch attention. The rest were junk just like Parashuram. From the trailer I could catch that the story is revolving around College Love story. Nothing New. Obviously ARR wouldn't have been challenged enough to provide good music.
I dont expect something good from Kangalal Kaithu Sei as all of the BR's releases before were croppers.
S.J. Surya acting himself would be the biggest setback for New. So dont expect anything big with this.
Added to this, ManiRatnam's latest movie has no songs. So no scope for ARR here as well.
So what do have in the future to hope to...???

Mr. BeN:
"so u all sit back and listen to the stupid scores of big time copy-cats HJ & YSR...... "
That's what people have been listening. I don't see it changing in the near future. I think "Beethoven of the east" is doing better than "Mozart of the east". Yes, arasatchi sounds much much better than BR's KKS. And tell me who listens to original music from 1992?
If you are a arr fan, ofcourse today's tfm fans will look like a stupid crowd. The same thing happened to MSV fans when IR came in and for IR fans when arr arrived. Now it's your turn!

hello abc Kadhalan sold 12 lakh units which is the highest in TFM history...... and also ARR sells more than Britney Spears and Maddona combined....... his Bombay holds the all time record for Hindi Industry... Saathiya sold 10 lakh units in this difficult times......so ARR is the boss of Blockbusters.....
