I am very anxious to get the early reviews for this film. Anyone who has already seen this movie, please be sure to post the review and mainly the BGM by the maestro.

  Mythila,
  
  u wud ve heard IRs INDIA 24hrs, the movies bgm goes along those musical structures though u can hear some new sounds and the music cannot be categorized into any of those which uve mentioned. the BGM narrates the story as wel speak the language of sithaan, as sithaan is silent all thro the movie and the music speaks for him. the movie is elevated to a higher level bcos of the music and the feel it gives is unexplainable. a few more viewings/listenings of the movie wud reveal more to us.

  I have watched this movie 4 times now... For the BGM alone. The title score, sets you up the rest of the story. An excellant piece catching the mood. The extraordinary sync when "she" leanes towards Mayanaboomi Board, the shift in the feeling, can only be felt. All the scenes where the forest is the background, Raja is simply amazing. The power of live violins (after all these MDs using Keyboard samples), is refreshing. Full & Overwhelming feeling, I come out of theatre..One of the best of Raja...Thanks Raja...

  படமே பேசட்டும் என்று ஆங்காங்கே அமைதி காத்திருக்கிற இசைஞானி இளையராஜா, தேவைப் படுகிற இடங்களில் மட்டும் தனது பின்னணி இசையால் நமது உணர்வுகளின் உச்சத்தை மீட்டிப் பார்க்கிறார். அடர்ந்த மரங்களுக்கிடையே முரட்டுப் பாதையில் கஞ்சா கும்பல் மலையேறுகிற காட்சிகளில் மெலிதான மர்மத்தையும் அந்த மலைப் பாதை பயணத்தின் பின்னே பொதிந்திருக்கிற அபாயத்தையும் இசையாலேயே உணர வைத்திருக்கிறார்.

  The Climax scene where Vikram is seen Crying seeing the skull of Surya (Dead Body) for the first time... IR's BGM is simply Amazing. He Lift the Scene to great extent just by his BGM.
  The Last film where IR gave a similar performance was in Mal film GURU. There the orchestration was done at HUNGARY and the film had greater oppurtunities for his BGM's.

  solo,
  you are such a spoilsport! The movie is only a week old and not many people have watched it. There you go, describing crucial details of the climax.
  I regret having visited this thread.

  I am very very sorry guys. Just out of enthusiasm, i just pointed a scene where IR BGM was great in the movie, suitable for this thread. Don Worry! PM is Great. It makes interesting even after you know about the story.

  There is a song called "Navras" in Matrix revolutions..those interested can visit
  www.intothematrixmusic.com
  i was just wondering what if ilayaraja has been asked to compose the bgm of matrix revolutions after listening to navras...could he have done better?

  Guys, even the reviews of Vikatan and Tamil Cinema kind of mentioned about the climax(Surya's state). So, solo, you don't have to feel too sorry for this.

  Thanks for all those wonderful selfish people out there for revealing the plot and destroying our viewing experience!
  
  I dont know why Indian reviews (like AV, Kumudam, indian websites) reveal the story. Most foriegn reviews and film festival reviewers and other popular revieweres like Roget Ebert from Chicago Tribune have such an impeccable style of reviewing.
  
  We people think that review means "padathoda kadhai yenna?"
  
  Atrocious!
  
  
• From: ebertfan (@ 207.112.62.43) on: Tue Oct 28 22:12:31 EST 2003
  
  V....I echo ur feelings. Dunno why ppl. still have a high regard for Vikatan's review. That joker has spoilt every possible surprise in his "review"

  guys there is a simple way to have the cake and eat it too. A simple SPOILER AHEAD before a post of that nature would be a tremendous help
  
  
• From: V (@ 24.59.74.246) on: Wed Oct 29 01:47:08 EST 2003
  
  Exactly ebertfan!
  
  But the unfortunate thing is that review in our country means "padathoda kadhai enna?"
  
  Are you really an Ebert fan??
  
  Me too! Though I find him too lenient towards dramas. But still today, if I see a 4 star from Ebert I watch that movie!
  
  
• From: V (@ 24.59.74.246) on: Wed Oct 29 01:48:48 EST 2003
  
  A small correction- Roger Ebert is from Chicago Sun-Times and not Chicago Tribune!

  digression
  
  V......I am a huge fan of thaatha! I safely ignore his thumbs down movies.
  
  Add Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie movies to his "leniency" list:)(He was one of the two critics in the whole wide world who liked "Original Sin":))
