  Bug,
  
  Happy to know that you have only collections
  of IR and MSV with you. It shows your musical
  taste.
  
  First of all, my apologies if I had given
  an impression of treating you as enemy. I never
  had/have/will have that intention. It is just
  that I couldn't understand why you were
  criticizing IR and the Raajangahm so much
  whenever you got an opportunity and also
  your postings sound very frustrated most of
  the times. I am sure Raajangahm will get
  refined as per people's feedback (like us)
  over a period of time. I have not seen
  any of the suggestions that are given by
  people like us being turned down by Raajangahm till now.
  
  Ofcourse people like Unmai Virumbi
  are even more enigmatic in that they
  seem to like IR's music so much to
  the point of criticizing him for not
  scoring for many movies now.
  
  As far as I am concerned, Manirathnam
  is in a better position(!) to retire than
  IR. I think MR is yet to give a hit after
  Bombay. So he has to do something more
  different now like introducing a new MD
  (like he did successfully with ARR(ofcourse
  the success didn't last long as he himself
  knows now)) and this is his last ditch
  attempt in trying to get the elusive
  success which he was getting regularly
  with IR and very irregularly with ARR.
  
  Mr.Fan, replying to someone's posting
  without actually reading that, definitely
  indicates how much considerate you are
  about people ! I had only requested you
  to be more considerate and not
  categorise people. Your musical knowledge(as well
  you) is respected. I sincerely hope you will
  reciprocate the same with the other
  contributors here.
  
  Athi

  I am just listening to Barathy songs on the net-I really pity the musical idiots who type out pages anlysing rubbish songs like shakalaka baby and uppukaruvadu.this is a mature movie which requires mature music and that is what is precisely here.IR is not setting to tune some TDH lyrics to music-it is mahakavi`s lyrics and I think he has done full justice.If the songs sound like DD songs etc-it is because barathiyars songs are continuously played in AIR for years and I think there has been plenty of uniqueness in Rajas tunes.I cannot Imagine ARR composing for this movie-the movie would have been in production forever with him taking 5 years to set to tune the songs and another 5 years trying to polish them!
  I think a very good job has been done given the restraints of setting to tune Mahakavis songs,period setting of songs.
  will this fetch him a well deserved award?
  
  I do hope the movie is well received by the currently musically-deaf public of tamilnadu.

  Prakash,
  
  Nice to read your appreciation of
  Bharathy songs.
  
  Looks like you are new to this forum.
  Be careful when criticizing ARR. You will
  be crucified in this forum. The only
  thing that is allowed in this forum now,
  is criticizing IR and then there are
  many people here who will be heartily
  appreciating you.
  
  Talking about ARR composing for Bharathy,
  most likely scenario will be tunes like
  Shakalakka etc sung by singers well versed
  in tamil like Udit Narayan etc. The album
  will be a big hit among everyone including
  the non tamil population and the sales
  will set a new record.
  
  Athi

  This is the right time for IR to retire.
  This Emperor never strikes back....
  Good bye IR

  i think IR's music has no end. No one can stop his music. i do think that it's the right time for him to bid bye to tamil film music and concentrate on world music. I am sure that he can make inroads into world music. All the best raja

  IR is the best and he need not retire . Please stop posting such idiotic messages in this thread. If at all u want to convey ur info, open a seperate thread and exchange ur ideas with ARR's fans.
  
  Such comments about IR r strictly discouraged in this thread.
  
  Take it easy buddy ,

  One must be prepared to receive knowledge. This also goes for music. If we are here expecting the latest (perhaps the modern theory of music) "cut-paste-change_fonts", then Barathy couldn't fill our hunger because IR's way of delivering is just not the same as others like DV or ARR.
  
  DV and ARR's sounds very much "new&trendy" due to the 'polishing' and incorporation of moving beats. (Kushi and Sanghamam are good examples). IR, nowadays also doing some polishing, but still aligned to his way of rendering music appropriate to the scenes described to him. Today directors will (only) go to IR if they want something like IR-ish style in their movie.
  
  NB: DV - Deva, ARR - you know WHO is him, IR - ...

  Digression
  
  Athi,
  Although we differ in opinions there
  is no reason for us take this personal.
  I am glad that you aren't doing so.
  We all are not gaining anything out of this
  forum. It is just a pass time with some
  degree of sharing knowledge. If I feel
  that your opinions are good, then I am
  going to take it. And vice versa.
  
  Ethil anavasiyamaga why hurt others with
  words.
  regarding the site issue which i post
  frequently.....some decent DF'ers were
  bashed heavily.(now myself also ;-)
  If you closely look at the facts, it
  will make sense to you also.IR is already
  on the downhill whether we accept it or not,
  unnecesary'aa why drag his name and make
  him so ordinary?he doesn't even care about
  tamil films nowadays. do you think he
  is so eager to maintain an official site?
  as once bb (engay aalai kaanom?) told,
  the site should not be done based on some
  vested interests.
  I repeat, i am not hurting anybody over here.
  so please don't try to come down upon me.
  thanks.
  
  END of digression.

  Bharati:
  
  Somebody recently raised a question
  about the French Music bit in Bharathi album. That is the national anthem of France. Wish the Album sleeve said that instead of just French Music.
  You can listen to that at
  http://digischool.bart.nl/mu/volklied/france.htm
  
  Digression Contd:
  Bug, Your postings are very interesting to read.
  I appreciate your not flaming anybody and polite responses. Can you expand on couple of things?
  
  1. What is the "vested interests" stuff that you mention? - Being a newcomer to this forum and IR-ARR fights, I am not able to understand that.
  
  2. If there is an official website for IR, how does that make him ordinary?

  Please do not be mislead by Bugs postings. Look at raaja.com's mission->http://www.raajangahm.com/mission.html.
  
  The mission statement makes it clear that it is an effort by a group of dedicated fans who colloborated with Raaja and created an official website for him. I don't see any expression of the so-called vested interests in any page of this site.
  
  Maybe, Bug belongs to a category of people who wanted to start a similar site for Raaja because they have powerful contacts at Gollywood and failed to accomplish that.
  
  If you are a newcomer to this DF, then for your kind information, the people who started the official website for Raaja are the senior DFers of this forum. These DFers who were HCIRF(Hard-core IR fans)had contributed to this TFM-Page by their innumerable postings as well as monetary support during the initial stages. These DFers joined hands and created a dedicated site for Raaja with the approval of Raaja himself.
  
  Ultimately, this TFM-DF has helped in creating a great website for Raaja. I don't think Admin members like Ravi and RajaRaman have against this site and don't see their comments anywhere.
  
  
  Thanks

  Final Digression.
  Ayya 208.154.130.13,
  I am putting a period to myself with this posting about that site's issue.I have been digressing a lot. I was one of the few unfortunate people who got kicked unnecessarily in some of the earlier threads when something was discussed about that site.That was the reason i dragged this.
  
  Looks like it has offended you more than myself.Sorry about that!.
  
  By the way, Bold and Underline tag thaveera I don't know anything about websites. I don't have any intention of starting up ARR site, Deva site, SAR site, IR site.....Looks like you have been in this DF quite a long time, my request to you is that please refrain from personal attacks. We haven't seen each other.
  
  You can substantiate my query with proper answers and make me clear than personally attacking me verbally.IMHO i think that is a more healthier way of communication.That is why the whole concept of discussion forum exists.
  SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE. I have gained enough from people like Srikanth, Vijay, Udhaya, MS etc.
  
  So let us keep this forum clean.
  
  End of digression for good.
  
  Bug
