Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

That gives some relief !
But I read in one of the reviews that GVM has broken the songs in to parts in the picturization...is that true ?

Yes, but it only enhances the impact. For example "laaayi laayi" (Vaanam mella) runs for almost 10 mins, with an extra interlude & a bit of charanam without the vocals.
"Atu itu" (Mudhal murai) is played multiple times instead of BGM in some scenes. GVM shot most songs in an unconventional way. Impressive!
