Manjal Pusum is really GOOD especially the
Saranam.
Friends is another big hit for IR.

YEAH VIJAY,
Even i'm of that view. It's pathetic. I dunno how it is in the top position of tfm page rating. Guys come on...be fair.

Any IR film music *MUST* be in the top, even if it is pathetic. That's the rule of *this* newtfmpage.

I don't think Friends deserves so much thrashing.
Agreed it is not one of IR's best works but a few
songs in the album and the orchestrations reminded
me of 80's IR.On the whole I thought it was a good
album by IR but not surely one of his best.
I won't agree that Friends is a pathetic album but
still I feel it's not one of the best.

The corollary is that any ARR album is a hit even if it garbage.

I liked Manjal poosum and Poongatrey. I would have liked it more with better singers though.

Dear UV,
'Nody is even bother about IR in Chennai' - I think you never been to Chennai. Bye the the Bye, chennai is not Tamil Nadu. Tell me who bothers about others? IR is always in the demand. No need to get these from the people like you. Even his fair works gets good response. As I music shop owner, no IR album went worst. I agree that his market is not as before, but still he is in top as for as overall collection is concerned. But now the latest hot is Minnale by Harris Jeyaraj and Friends by IR. In my shop, the worst sale in the year is Priyamanavalae and Tenali. We spent a lot and we incureed loss in it. IR is having a steady market. This is just for your information.

Come on guys !. Album is one of the best.Manjal Poosum is really good.This is going to be a great Pongal for IR and IR fans.
I love music, I like both IR and ARR. I listen to
everyone. Anyways, it is just my opinion.

I think Vijay is Right., Eventhough IR is not No.1 in terms of cassette sales, He has a steady market in TN even now., My cousin owns a music store and my observation from his shop atleast goes with this opinion.
With some good Advertisements, Any Good IR album can be made as a big HIT - Bharathi is the latest example., However I am not sure whether Friends can be added to this list. I would rate it only as '70% Good' Album., :-)

pg: If Friends can be told as 70% good, then
Mudhalvan : 85%
Jeans : 90%
TajMahal : 75% GOOD.
In 80's, in most films every songs of IR were hit. Now it's just 1/2(max) songs per film are good. Maybe, IR is in a constant pressure of delivering the good. Hope he doesn't sink like our Indian Cricket, Hockey teams.

Vij:
IR under pressure? It is really funny. After giving real good music for many years, he is still good.
Take Tenali, just VM is out, a bit of pressure,
how poor the songs are. BGM of thenali, even a
entry level MD or TV serial MD would have done a better job. One feels that the music is the dragging point of the movie....
ARR will survive as long as some good rythm patterns are produced by the likes of Dr.Alban etc. Later on, he can mix and match a carnatic tune to that and VM is(was) there make it as a neat song.... For very less no. of movies itself, ARR is out-of-steam!!
That's why IR under pressure, sounds very funny!

Vij,
'Good' is a relative term. If you talk commercially, I agree, Otherwise your 1/2 songs per film seems to be an underestimation.
Mani.,
I think Vij is talking about IR's financial difficulties and the pressure he is feeling 'coz of that.

NagaS, I read somewhere IR is out of his finance troubles and is peaceful...now focussing on music research foundation etc. He need not be under pressure anymore...

Mani,
I agree with you. The back ground of Tenali is the real dragging point of Tenali. ARR need VM desperately. Now ARR realised the sin and joining hands with VM in Alli Arguna, a movie produced by BR. Let us expect some good output from ARR. In this year mostly all the albums sold very well for IR. In this year Karisal Kattu Poovae tops in IRs album in caseete sale. THen, Bharathy,Kannukkul Nilavu and Hey ram. Even Ilayavan performed fairly. Only one album, which didn't move well is Kakkai Siraginilae. It is because of the lack of advertisement. But with much hype and add, we lost a lot in Tenali and Priyamanavalae. Rhythm never croosed the sale of Bharathy. In this year the top sale is Alaibayuthae, Karisal Kaatu Poovae , Bharathy and Kushy. KK , Hey ram and Kannukkul Nilavu moved well. Then only Rhythm in our shop.
I think ARR needs VM . Then only the shop owners like me will get some good sale.
As for as Deva is concerned Kushy and Mugavari did well. Others as usual.
Now the hype is on Minnalae, Friends and Rishi. Rishi is really moving well than the expected level.

Today's kumudam says that friends cassatte sales during the first week of it's release touched 90,000 which is good going by any standards. Is that really true?

Ok Vijay
Good to know that IR casettes going well in your shop!! whereas in my friends shopt they still have lots of Bharathi,Ilayavan,Friends,Rishi still sitting in the rack.
I suggested my friend to buy Minnale hope this one moves fast. According to him the good sellers goes like this ARR,Deva,SA and last IR now i am not commenting his music but only what the top sales. Being a ardent fan of IR i dont have any grudge against anyone.
BTW where is ur shop in india or in US like us

I dont understand your logic.. not does people around me here.. what do you mean when you say Vijay is very careful about his songs??
does he over rule IR and tell him that he doesnt like a particular song... and asks him to change it ?? and just that IR is there... you say its 50%hit....????!!!! strange!! paathumma...mothalla paata ketutu then contribute your views...
