  MPR - I don't believe you have got a call, so certainly, it's not true!!!! (This is in response to your title :-))))

  NOV:
  
  Hahahaha :))) You are back from your vocation. Where did U go, India? and How was your trip? Believe you had a very good time and lot of fun (I can see that from your previous posting)
  
  Now back to the topic:
  
  In this Discussion Forum, many people mentioned that (including you, NOV) die-hard Ilayaraaja fans can't digest the emergence of ARRehman into TFM world and they simply ignore the fact that IR has been replaced by ARR. They also said MSV fans faced the same problem when IR entered the field. I'm asking couple of questions to clarify whether the same transition is going on in TFM right now or not. And believe that those people who are aware of what happened those days especially MSV fans will give us some answers.
  
  1. After IR's entry, for how many movies MSV
  scored music and how many of them are good?
  
  2. What was the last hit movie by MSV before
  IR's entry? which year?
  
  3. What was the last hit movie by MSV after
  IR's entry? which year? (is it Ninaithaale
  Inikkum?)
  
  4. And what was his reaction about IR? Did
  he say anything good about him or just left without saying anything in interviews?
  
  Do you still want to say something irrespective of these questions related to that transtion period? Please share your information.
  
  In this topic, I want to know whether the transition is really happening or we simply ignore like others said just because we love IR.
  
  If anybody thinks these questions won't give us the proper answer, please post your own questions.
  
  All of them are welcome to discuss ...

  It's unfair! Psychology of transition thread-il
  discuss paNNa vENdiya vishayangaLai ingu thaniyaaga
  discuss paNNa aarambichteenga! Anyway, here are
  my comments.
  
  It's an interesting idea to discuss the topic:
  
  die-hard Ilayaraaja fans can't digest the emergence of ARRehman into TFM world
  
  I will make several comments.
  
  0. MSV fans faced the same problem when IR entered the field
  
  In the case of MSV-->IR transition, it was,
  I felt, a natural one. Even several years before
  IR stepped-in, say during 1973-77, MSV had lost his
  touch, and several MDs were doing as well as him
  (KVM, SG, VK, VBhaskar, GKV, Govardhanam ..) and
  TFM was already in a state of flux, with no one
  able to clearly take control. Bang came Ilayaraja!
  The fall of MSV then came naturally.
  
  I wouldn't compare that transition with what's
  going on now: IR steps out a little bit to
  concentrate on non-filmy music, and comes back to see
  that others have occupied the driver's seat!
  Unlike MSV in the previous transition, I feel
  IR hasn't lost his teeth! If he plays his cards
  properly, say by concentrating on a small number
  of movies and doing a wonderful job in them, my
  feeling is that he will be back in business. BUT,
  with the big TFM guys not in that good relationship
  with IR, anything could happen.
  
  1. After IR's entry, for how many movies MSV
  scored music and how many of them are good?
  
  You wouldn't believe this statistic! But it's true: MSV (alone) did only about 180+ movies
  before IR came-in. Then, after IR's arrival, MSV
  went-on to do another 180! In the pre-IR 180,
  most of the songs were excellent. In the post-IR 180,
  most of the songs were bad! Amazing, isn't it?
  
  2. What was the last hit movie by MSV before
  IR's entry? which year?
  
  Movies such as oorukku uzhaippavan,
  manmadha leelai, muththaana muththallavO,
  annan oru kOyil, moondru mudichchu, avan oru sariththiram,
  meenava naNban etc. were some movies with
  excellent songs that came around the time of
  IR's entry.
  
  3. What was the last hit movie by MSV after
  IR's entry? which year? (is it Ninaithaale
  Inikkum?)
  
  I really cannot answer this well since I lost touch
  with TFM after early 1980. I only know that
  vaRumaiyin niRam sigappu came after
  N.Inikkum.
  
  4. And what was his reaction about IR? Did
  he say anything good about him or just left without saying anything in interviews?
  
  Actually I would be very interested in knowing
  about this! In fact, I had asked a more general
  version of this question in the Psychology ..
  thread: How did the MDs involved react in the
  transition period?
  I will repost this question there. Thanks for reminding.
