Then,

"I have a plan to do an album on Bharathiyar songs"

Now,

"Our Consortium has a plan to do a musical on Thirukkural"


With whom to compare this eloquence of ARR ?

R_F & Judge,

Lets not turn this into another IR-ARR battle thread, there is so much of good feeling and positivity prevailing now. I have consciously avoided 'Vysar's posts for the past 4 years, He was never a fan of Raaja nor he is a fan of ARR now. He can never be one too! For people like him, Charu and Gnani its not music of ARR or IR that makes them support/hate them, some other external factors leads to their decisions. Just Ignore their likes and lets be peaceful.

R_F & Judge,

IR - ARR battle can be fought later!

It neednt be fought at all firstly. Good music, be it by any composer, is always pleasing to our senses and i dont see any reason why anyone should fight over which is good and which is not, particularly when music is written with sincerity.

Chilllaxe guys... can we move ahead with normal discussions. we have spoken enough on the usual topic.

PAY DIRT!! renowned Los Angeles based journal FILM SCORE MONTHLY reviews and profiles Maestro.Ilaiyaraaja's music!!!

http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/daily/article.cfm/articleID/6175/An-"Unknown"-Indian-Film-Music-master/

Highlight: "It is quite clear that Ilaiyaraaja’s respect is well-warranted. His music is immediately engaging, with a popular sensibility that gives way to detailed construction upon further exploration. Working with a variety of synthetic production, live orchestra, and fabulous singers and Indian music instrumentalists lends the music a unique quality that one discovers is part of the style of this composer. Here is someone who has discovered a way to fuse musics from multiple periods both East and West to create a sound that serves each subsequent film. There is much of the composer’s music to be explored and even with the language barrier that ultimately exists, the music is immediately communicative and often entrancing."

Hip Hip Hurray!

Of all the speeches I enjoyed IR's the most... Never imagined that he would speak so eloquently and in an engaging manner

The way he compared how Shruthi's are not discrete but continuous & overlapping with the music of the TFM stalwarts... wow! what an analogy

You just search for IR speech in youtube - you will come across some of the most interesting speeches.
The one he gave for ARR felicitation was right up there with the one he gave for Jeyakanthan. and that one was a cracker of speech - it had details for his conversion (from communism to theism/spirituality). The guy simply relishes when there is no media barrier between him and his subjects.

Never heard of this movie. Is it a dubbed (into tamil) movie?

"4:39PM IST" - Never knew Raj TV is so strict about time

thanks,

Krish,

That was a typo, it should be 4.30 pm :)
Uruvam is original Tamil movie, produced by Mohan and he acted by in it too (as a defaced man). RP Viswam is also there as evil man. I have seen this movie few years back, very scary, eerie BGM.
