Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[RR]

rajsekar,

Nice thoughts and recollections..

> The best selling Indian film album (official record) is Aashiqui with 15 Million units (150 Lakhs).
> Rahman's "Bombay" combined soundtrack sales in Hindi and Tamil was 12 Million (120 Lakhs)
> which is his highest record. Ilayaraaja has certainly smashed these records

I too would think so. I personally remember cassette dubbing many albums like Johnny first, then buying and rebuying in different combos shortly after the movie release. Noting that there was basically no other source except radio, the numbers should be in millions easily for the hit albums I guess.
