Raja and Rahman!
"I have worked with two music directors - Ilaiyaraja and A R Rahman. They're perfect opposites in the way they work.
Illaiyaraja is absolutely prolific. He is an amazing talent who believes that the music written down by him should be stuck to totally. And then it is recorded which is just a matter of execution.
Rahman does the opposite. He has the music in his mind, and uses every musician as an artiste, probably because he has been an instrumentalist himself. he tries to extract something extra from every one of his musicians as well as his playback singers. He believes in their addition input.
Rahman improvises while Illaiyaraja has every little detail chalked out. Like Rahman I try to improvise while leaving others free to make their additional contribution...though I wish I could be like Ilaiyaraja and work out everything on paper."

I think Maniratnam has made a correct comparision ..Persons who plan every detail of music will be good in BGM ,while people who take inputs from allpeople will compose good songs as in the case of songs it is question of reach and in the case of BGM it is question of how it fits into the situation ......a song can not be a fit to a situation but still can be a hit ,but not the same case with BGM

Guru, writing out score to the last minute details can come to IR only. This requires lot of knowledge, assessment of singers capability, story requirement etc.etc. Also since IR used work for lot of films simultaneously under tight schedule, this is only the way.

Do you guys remember there was a movie under T.Siva's banner, directed by Manirathnam, never released, acted by mohanlal and scored by IR. It was Sangam and I did buy the cassette. It was around the period when Rasayya was released. It did have perioed songs..one good one by SPB and Janaki.

Why was it not released?? I thought it was a good job after dalapathi in this combo.
