According to him - IR's music / BGM is a minus point of the movie ..... First time I am hearing one such remark among ALL the magazines that wrote review for azhagi !

Got from various sources:
1) Thankar Bachan's next movie on Naattuppura kalaigal.
2) Gnana Rajasekaran's next movie on Periyar's life history (script is ready).
We might expect the news soon on the movie and music (mostly by IR).

Subbudu is playing himself in parthiban's movie where sudha raghunathan makes her singing debut under Raja's baton.

NagaS, but most of his other opinions on this article (other than vimarsanam), I feel, are quite meritorious...hence even this could be partly correct (I must see the movie to make my own judgement anyway)...neenga azhagi pAthAcha? unga vimarsanam engE?

eden.,
I can't comment about what Mr. Jayamohan has written, for me Azagi is a classic and IR's music is **one of the** many reasons for that,
En vimarsanam ezuthinaal thamizilthaan ezutha veNdum ..

Thanks for the link Venkatesh. Raaja is always Raaja. Raaja is just not a MD he is a role modal for so many.

I dont know about the truth to that chennaionline article. It also says PammalKS and Nandha are not doing well. I read elsewhere that Nandha and Dhavasi were the only hits from the Diwali releases.

About Jeyamohan's article:
The man seems all praises for Koundamani and Vadivelu, but has issues with Balachadar, Kamal, Bharathiraja, Maniratnam, Sivaji and so on.
He talks about how contrived Tamil movie polts are. But this article seems to me like a contrived article to prove how different his tatses are and how superior his intelect is even to his wife Arunmozhi.
This is noting but 'arivujeevi paeththal'
Then again he shows that he is afterall an average thamizhan by putting in disclaimers like 'naan ilayaraajavin rasihan' and 'I like Kamal the comedian'.
If he so hates Tamil movies why does he bother going and watching them? Just from this article you can see that he has watched average fares like 'poovellaam un vaasam' and an above average movie like 'kadal pookkal'.
If he is so smart, how come he still hasn't figured out that Ajit only acts in 'formula' movies designed to cater the the average fan's taste? And the Tamil pop-magazines are not to be trusted for their reviews in movies? If he is such a great intellectual, why is he getting his information from pop magazines that review movies?
If he was never crazy about Bharathiraja from the '16 vayathinile' days, why did he go see 'kadal pookkal'?
I think, he is just an idiot for not figuring these things out. I think he watches these Tamil movies just so he can criticize them and prove to other people what an enlightened soul he is.
He is a great novelist. He should leave it at that and stop pretending to be the ultimate authority on what is good 'acting' and what is good direction.
Amen.

Firstly who cares a damn about what KR's wife thinks.As far as I know,she is not a musician in TFM.But i will say this,it is sad to see that KR's wife has bad feeling towards her brother-in -Law YSR.Maybe KR should move out and it will give him a taste of reality and he will strive to get a job and earn some money. KR needs to stop being spoilt by daddy and become a man and take responsibility for his family.
Digression: IR should take a break from his failing profession in music and work on getting his other children married and then he can retire.

Mr Anti Raja,
Considering the quality of output of the other music directors in Tamil cinema, i think, it is they who have to retire.
Raja is still 'ilaya' raja thaan!

i am surprised at you. why such an outburst. what he says is true on mnay accounts about our tamil movies.
if he feels that bgm is noisy, then that is his opinion only. we may not accept it but we may have to respect it.

Regarding this one ...
http://www.aaraamthinai.com/movie/newpgs/fb04_movies.asp
Why do these journalists tend to potray that only emotional and tear jerking films are good?.
A film should be true to its genre. If you make a western make a good western. But saying never make a western flick, is bad.
Not every movie has to depict poverty, disabilities in life, negative side of human nature and so on.
In my opinion, Adutha vettu pen is as good as pasamalar. Because its a good comedy. what do you guys feel?.

First of all why does a movie have to 'say anything'?
If sending a message is your sole aim, why don't you just write a poster? It wil be much cheaper.
I am tired of these self-proclaimed pundits looking for 'messages' in movies. Not all movies are meant to deliver messages.
Mahabs,
I wasn't reacting to his comment about the BGM. That's his opinion and he is entitled to it. I was reacting to his overall attitude, his obnoxious tone, and the hypocritical nature of that article.
He likes Koundar and Vadivel, but criticizes others for being 'seyatkai'. Is he trying to say that his favourite two are very natural in their delivery of comedy?
Why the repeated comments about 'kumattal' and 'vaanthi'? IMO, he is the idiot for going there knowing very well that it is a Tamil movie.
His kind are dime a dozen. Their only aim is to prove how superior they are to the 'average' human being. We mere mortals are supposed to feel ashamed for liking Mani's and Bharathiraja's movies and for thinking that Sivaji is a good actor.

jayamohan is infamous for his controversial remarks. he once said, there are only two good novels in tamil, one is sundararamasawamy's jj: sila kurippukal and the second one is his own rubber.
you can laugh and ignore him. after all, he is better than some of the persons passing remarks here.
