“Ghillli” audio goes platinum!

The Ghillli audio has turned platinum, a significant milestone as the platinum disc is an achievement for selling one lakh audios. (Wish Vijay on his birthday!)

The last Tamil film to get platinum was Alaipayuthe in 1999! In these days of audio piracy and FM radios, it is a remarkable achievement for Ghillli to turn platinum.

It is a feather on the cap of music director Vidyasagar who had given some foot tapping music for the film as he has achieved the impossible.

Said Vidyasagar: “I am so happy as selling a lakh copy and more is next to impossible today. Ghillli audio was able to achieve this rare feat as the common man had fallen in love with the rustic beat of the songs in the album”.

`Star Music` the audio company has also to be appreciated as they beat the pirates who were selling their Rs 40 priced audios at Rs 15 (pirated version) on the pavements!

  Rahman-Mani Ratnam combination has once again struck gold with Aayitha Ezhuthu album. The first three-day audio sales have crossed the magic figure of 1 lakh!
  
  No Tamil film audio has done such fantastic opening sales in recent times. Said a spokesperson of Sony who is marketing the audio: "Aayitha Ezhuthu audio sales is phenomenal at a time when music industry is going through bad times. And people seems to be going crazy about the songs."
  
  Normally a hit Tamil audio sale is around 40,000 to 50,000 units sold over a period of three months. But this audio has created history as it may cross 3 lakhs even before the release of the film and if the film is a hit, it will do business close to 5 lakhs units, something that happened a few years back regularly with audios of Indian, Gentlemen, Roja, Bombay and Alaipayuthe.
  
  The most popular song in the album is Jana Gana Mana sung by Rahman and Karthik followed by Hey Goodbye Nanba sung by Sunitha Sarathy, Shankar Mahadevan, Lucky Ali and Karthik.

  Vidyasagar - The Melody Maker Chats Live!
  
  By Moviebuzz
  
  Chat with music director Vidyasagar on June 24, Thursday, at 4 pm IST!
  
  Vidyasagar is a music director who has been in the industry for over a decade and has tuned some of melodious tunes much to the liking of music lovers in the south. He is the most happening music director today and the songs in the blockbuster “Ghillli” is on top of the charts.
  
  He is a music director who has given a break to over 30 new singers as he love to experiment with fresh voices. His forthcoming films are Sullan, Sathurangam, Ji and Maduraein Tamil. In Malayalam he is working on Albhuthavilakku, Ananthabhadram and Life in Vas Vegas. In Hindi he is scoring music for Priyadarshan’s new film titled Hulchul.
  
  He played his first innings in Tamil from 1989 to 1996 and caught the attention of Tamil film-buffs with excellent score in films like Jai Hind and Karna. From 1993 to 1996, he was the top music director in Telugu and from 1996 to 2001, he was very busy in Malayalam where melodies were appreciated and he bagged three Kerala State Awards!
  
  Vidyasagar’s love for melody made him turn to Malayalam film industry, time and again and the songs in hit films like Azhagiya Ravanan, Meesa Madhavan, Gramaphone, CID Moosa and Kilichundan Mambazham were all super hits. With Dhill and Povellam Un Vasam he made the biggest comeback in Tamil and the songs he tuned were all hits.
  
  It was one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Tamil film music and his second innings in Tamil has coincided at a time when A.R.Rahman was concentrating more on the international scene. Earlier only A.R.Rahman’s music was considered fashionable to be played at discos and parties in Chennai but now the chartbusters in films like Run, Dhool, Anbe Sivam, Parthipan Kanavu, Tirumalai, Varnajalam, Iyarkai and Tendral are extremely popular with the youth of today.
  
  According to Vidyasagar the recipe for success is: “A melody that goes into the soul of a listener, a good orchestra and the presentation”. But personally this ‘Melody Maker’ loves melodies and the songs in the latest blockbuster Ghillli like “Kokkara.. Kokkarako….” and “Appadi Podu….” are on top of the charts.
  
  Top Ten Songs of Vidyasagar
  
  1.“Malarae Mounama….”- Karna
  2.“Nee Katru…”- Nilave Vaa
  3.“Aasai Aasai….”- Dhool
  4.“Yaar Yaar Sivam...Anbe Sivam…” – Anbe Sivam
  5.“Un Samayalarayil….”- Dhill
  6.“Kathal Pisase….”- Run
  7.“Kana Kandenedi.….”- Parthipan Kanavu
  8.“Appadipodu…Podu…”- Ghillli
  9.“Azhagooril Poothavale….”- Thirumalai
  10.“Adi Thozhi…”- Tendral
