IR's New albums - Ver 2008

[kameshratnam]

kamal spoke about Ilayaraaja yesterday in NDTV. He said the first option for the MD For dasavatharam was "" (didnt hear properly) and next it was A R Rahman. Since ARR was busy, they couldnt get him and finally kamal said he had the option of his favorite ilayaraaja but the producer had a different thing in his mind and so they had to go to some one else

One more chance missed ...KSR and Oscar hate ilayaraaja va...so bad

Highly inspired Mysskin on 'Nandhalala'

Talented and successful director Mysskin is upbeat and excited about his forthcoming venture 'Nandhalala'. A combination of many aspects of the film has kept the 'Nandhalala' team charged up.

Maestro Ilayaraja composing the songs and music for the film comes after a detailed discussion with the director. Not only was the maestro thoroughly impressed, but also struck a wonderful chord with Mysskin appreciating his talent and passion for filmmaking. Four songs have been recorded and all of them would be featured in montage sequences. With passion running high and Ilayaraja giving that extra bit of finesse, one can expect 'Nandhalala' to be a clean entertainer delving deep into the exuberance of humanness.

In an exclusive interview to Indiaglitz, director Mysskin said, "The story is about two children, one a 7 year old and the other a 30 year old child , who go on a journey in search of their respective mothers". The 30 year old child is played by the director himself. Though 30 years of age, the character is child-like in all aspects which could be refreshing to the script and the final impact the movie has in store for its audiences.

The 7 year old child is played by Ashwath Raman, a student of Chettinad Vidhyashram who is in his third standard. The boy, it seems, has a lot of exposure to stage acting in school and had already been approached by other filmmakers for roles. Ashwath Ramna's father is a petroleum consultant in Nigeria and his mother a house wife. His role in 'Nandhalala' is expected to propel his career in a big way.

'Nandhalala' very clearly is taking the road less traveled highlighting the lives of 'victims of circumstances'. With an emphasis on human emotions, the film is to be shot in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh.


As the depiction of the characters in the picture above shows, the characters walk away from the camera embarking on the journey. Metaphorically, one can assume that though they move away, world cinema's eyes would be firmly fixed on them or even follow them. The way Mysskin has planned out the narration and with the fact that he is brimming with enthusiasm one gets the feeling that he is on the right path to get the right kind of attention.

Since most here have only heard it for free (oosi saapaadu), they dont have anything to lose...Good for you then, if you dont want to buy the CD, then dont. Also raja needs to worry only about those who bought a copy for rs.99, which anyway is a minority crowd (going by the proportion of dissatisfied fans over here)...why should he bother for anyone who only bothers to give a casual listening to a 1.5 minutes sample and makes a judgement out of it? Its like gangai amaran saying "indha maan undhan sondha maan" tune (karagattakaran) was ordinary, when it was played by IR on the harmonium while composing the tune..raja said,"oru sengalai paarthu kattadathai edai podaadhada madaiya" (dont judge the building by seeing just one brick....). We all know finally what a huge hit it was...

10 years down the lane, if there were another movie with historic theme i am sure there will be threads comparing it with uliyin osai

Wish you all good luck in your wait for that sizzling 1.5 minutes sample MP3s of yet to be release films like nandhalaala, dhanam, or Nagas' favourite jaganmogini ...

"Jaganmohini" to be remade. IR is the MD. It seems the original had lots of special effect and illusions and it was a big hit. Hope the remake will do justice to the original and hope IR gets inspired to create something special. Lets see.

[quote="vel"]thumburu, 100% right - the clips are poor selections and are disappointing

.Balanagamma is preKG style if you consider the class of Uliyin Osai - Vel, are u serious?
The frustration of a Raja fan inside me could be alleviated and I would be more than happy even if a couple of songs from "ULiyin Oasai" could measure up to 3/4th of the Bilahari brilliance in "koondhalile megam vandhu" or VJ solo "sangeetham en deham anro" .
BTW what are the ragas used in UO? Hope its not the same old Kiravani/MMG/Sudhadhanyasi/sindubhairavi story. Its not that I have something against these beautiful ragas. My grouse is, they sound utterly stale , coming from Raja in recent times

[vel]

Hi Thumburu, Comparing balanagamma to uliyin osai will boil down to personal judgements - you have all the right to weigh one album down compared to the other !

Since you have askde about ragas used in UO, here it is (sorry, some of it falls under your "same old list")

Ragas used in Uliyin Osai

1) chola vala naadu - shankarabharanam

2) kallil uyir kaatidalam - starts with kalyani, the charnams use more than one raga

3) agandhaiyil aaduvadha - rasikapriya - the only other rasikapriya is 'sangeedhamae' from kovil pura

4) aada vandha - tough one, i think charukesi

5) kallai irundhaen - sudhadhanyasi

6) azhagi vara - natabhairavi with brief scale shift to shankarabharanam !

7) kaalathai vendra - keeravani

[raja_fan]

Thanks Vel,

I think that is why Kallai irundhen sounds like "Maalaiyil yaaro.." ( being another Suddha dhanyasi number)

[RR]

the only other rasikapriya is 'sangeedhamae' from kovil pura

How about 'ding dong kovil mani'?

Nagas' favourite jaganmogini ...

Infact, Because Namitha is involved, this movie will get more eyeballs than any other movie IR is MDing these days
