MAESTRO ILAIYARAAJA NEWS & TITBITS VER.2010-2011

[app_engine]

GNR spoke about how Raja worked free for all of his movies

Was it because all of them were Panju Arunachalam's productions? (kalyANarAman, meeNdum kOkilA, ellAm inba mayam, was there any other?)

Could be , but i remember him saying Maestro worked free for 6 of his movies..Am not sure what all he was referring to ..

CNN-IBN article on IR (on occasion of IR's b'day, I guess):

http://ibnlive.in.com/photogallery/4077.html

Includes "Mukhbir", which if i am not wrong has music only by Karthik Raja and not IR. The last slide has a movie with Kamal & Rati in lead (must be some tamil movie dubbed...dont remember which one).

Talks only about the singer associations....not the songs.

thanks,

Krishnan

Tv9 - Happy B'day Ilayaraja
Happy Birthday to Music Maestro Ilayaraja!- Telugu Movies




Apart from the above posted links, a LOT of telugu movie sites have posted the youtube videos of the TV9 & Etv videos.

& to Manavaadus for very fondly remembering Isai Gnaani. This gesture is less in TN.

While manavaadus are hearfully wishing Raja sir, most of them (none) are recalling the fact that its in their Tirupati that Mastero is gonna setup the Music University. but looks like surely he has choosen a right place. Would be happy is he starts a University here in TN too.

The flutr interlude in poova kelu - that's a reuse? I have heard it before

Balki and Kamal were lovely. Kamal describing nee paarththa - 'not just rope walking but Bharathanatyam + Gymnastics on a rope'

Btw, Maddy you dint expect rakkammaa from Raja? Seriously? I dint expect this from you. Another ignorant fella who thinks Raja = folk or something. He might not have grown up in TN to have known the stuff Raja had been doing. If thats the case he should not talk about his music at all. Even I could have been more insightful.
