I am surprised myself because I thought I was the occassional visitor here! :-)

Regarding telugu lyrics - it will be good to see that thread active but again, the posts will be limited because...

That was a good summary by Suresh! I think Suresh was excited to write the post. The typos say them all. It is Manasoram. And it was Kannai Padithen, from Ponnar shankar :-)

I am with Suresh (and...

What bothers me is the selection of songs. ofcouse, 95% of them are my favourites, but I'd prefer more songs from, say post 2000 period. It would atleast make people go back and dig those songs....

Plum is right! actually SPB also does what Hariharan does, probably to a lesser degree, but in similar dimension. Only difference is that SPB doesnt do it in Raaja's songs. For all other composers'...

Translation:

Janaki had to record two songs - one for MSV and one for Ilaiyaraaja on the same day and timings were clashing. When she asked MSV to adjust the timings, MSV convinced that the...

Any idea about this film "Mudhalvar Mahatma": http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/tamil-nadu/article2726867.ece The movie has 7 songs! heard about this film sometime ago but didnt know that it had so...

Pardon my self-celebration of Telugu digression//:

"Ento! Okka Mukkaaa ardham kaavatledhu ikkada" :-D (rough translation: Cant understand a word here)

the music of all these films is ready... but lying in cans :-(

About Sri Rama Rajyam - I wont say I liked it but i admire their conviction to remake a classic film (Lava Kusa).

Positives: Restrained performances, Songs and great background score, simple...

Bapu is famous in the North also Plum. He made many films in Hindi, in 80s. Infact, it was Bapu who discovered/introduced Anil Kapoor. I loved many of his films!

Ofcourse, his sensibilities can be...

Oh my! Sonu Kakkar is the Hindi version of singer Malathi. She is the loud throated singer who sang the famous "babujee zaraa dheere chalo" (from film Dum). But her tweet says that she is recording...

My heartfelt condolences to the Raaja family. This is sad! Raaja will be alone now! :-(

There was nothing substantial to record. The play was about a couple who keep fighting. So lot of screaming was going on. And in the middle, a strings piece comes that stays for about 10 seconds and...

I have been to the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf". I didnt like the play.

Regarding the muisc - firstly, i felt the play did not have much scope for music. On 2nd level, it didnt have much...

I got tickets for the Play. I am not sure about recording the music - because it is a play with dialogues and music will be on background. Will try though!

Mastaana was composed by Karthik raaja.

I think the last film of Prabhu deva for which Ilaiyaraaja scored music is "Time".

Few clips from recording sessions for the Play to be held in Hyderabad.

it is good to see some videos coming from...

Wow! cool! Thanks! Ordered! :-D

I am comparing the mood difference in both the songs. Aye Zindagi was engaging, "more" through its tune. Poongatru is more about the overall execution that is baffling. It is the orchestration and...

Same here! Yeh Zindagi is a classic and if people in North India know Ilaiyaraaja, it is through this song. Popularity stats aside, even as a composition, it is a very rich composition. I'm 100% sure...

More update about the play: http://kamalkamaraju.blogspot.com/

No idea about this. I myself discovered this song only 5 years ago!

According to http://in.bookmyshow.com/movies/Happi/ET00004311 it is now Nov 20th. Phew!!!! even on that basis, the audio should be releasing anytime soon. My speculation is that it should be...

At the rate in which raaja has been soliciting the services of Hungary (or UK) based artists - it is better if those artists get some long-term visas and stay put here only in Chennai/Bombay. :-)

Hmm.. though late, I guess i got the fine print right!

That event was publicised as "Preview" and not "Premiere" show! - so there you go!

My hounds are still on.... for the tickets! Lets see!
