Rahman�s mission for world music
February 20, 2006

A.R. Rahman is a happy man after the scintillating impact of Rang De Basanti. His next project would be a tour of the US with a music ensemble called Global Rhythms. Srinivas Krishnan is the artistic director of this ensemble and it includes musicians who have been selected from all parts of USA. With expectations running very high the group is much determined to put a world class performance. Their recent production has been a collection of Rahman�s songs with their own influences including African, Israeli and American folk styles. The team has perfect understanding of Indian music, especially that of Rahman�s creations. The tour would start this summer. Way to go, man!

Ilayaraja and Pa Vijay to join for the first time
February 22, 2006

Lyricist Pa Vijay is a happy man. He has crossed his 1000th song mark and he is now not an ordinary lyricist�he is a National Award Winner lyricist. There is another reason for him to feel happy; he is going to pen for Ilayaraja for the first time in Cheran's Maayakkannaadi. The guy feels highly grateful to both Cheran and Ilayaraja. When it comes to National Award, Vijay is not at all modest. He proudly tells everyone about it and has it inscribed even on his nameplate.

Bharadwaj�s foundation
- 23.02.2006
Cinesouth.com

He is as calm as his music, but Bharadwaj has done something notable quietly.

Ravana Samudram is where Bharadwaj hails from. In this name, he and some others who hail from the same place have opened a charitable foundation, which is not for the sake of publicity.

Aged people who wish to live in their home town of Ravana Samudram will be helped with facilities by this foundation. �I want to live in my home town. Those who are employed out of town also have the same desire. This foundation has been created by such like minded people.� The foundation has laid roads and dredged ponds in Ravana Samudram.

�There�s a plan to put up a building for the school soon.� After setting Ravana Samudram on its feet, the foundation aims to adopt neighboring villages.

Instead of a person just saying where he hailed from, or how he left farming and boarded a train for Kodambakkam, Bharadwaj seems to be a man with a difference in the midst of such people.

Let�s say three cheers to him!

Dheena is the man of the moment
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, February 22, 2006]

One of the top music-directors in Kollywood today is Dheena. He is currently composing tunes for over half-a-dozen movies including Yuga, Pori, Kokhi, Nee venumda Chellam and Anbendra Mazhaiyilae.

Elated at the new-found stardom, Dheena says, 'I started my career with Middle Class Madhavan. But Manmadharasa in Thiruda Thirudi took me to new heights. I continued the good run with Thirupachi'.

�My forthcoming release Yuga would get me more fame. I have tried a fusion of western and folk tunes. The whole crew appreciated my work in Yuga, he adds

Asked about his style of working, Dheena, says, I want to give hit songs. I don't want to follow any particular style.

A good policy indeed.

Yuvan rocks with `Pattiyal` audio

Tuesday, 28 February , 2006, 09:16

The audio launch of S.G.Films �Punnagaipoove� Geeta�s Pattiyal directed by Vishnuvardhan turned out to be an evening of young guns at the GRT Grand Days in Chennai on Monday (Feb 27).

It was a very informal function with no big stars, lengthy speeches, lighting of kuthuvilakku and the usual screening of songs. The lead cast of Arya, Bharath, Pooja and Padmapriya along with Vishnuvardhan and producer Geeta were mingling with the guests and the media in a casual manner.

It was also a reunion of sorts for the young guns of Kollywood who played the recent Cricket match like Captain Abbas, Vikraant, Jeeva, Ramesh, Srikanth, Simbu, Ramana, Arun Kumar, Vishal with Madhumita, Pa Vijay and Kalyan master.

However the star of the evening was none other than music director Yuvan Shankar Raja who preferred to maintain his usual cool style. But the cynosure of all eyes was �Punnagaipoove� Geeta who was referred as the most beautiful and vibrant producer of Kollywood, who herself looked more glamourous than her leading ladies!

And in one word the music of Yuvan rocks in Pattiyal. Vishuvardhan- Yuvan team has a winner after last year�s Arindhum Ariyamalum.

Yuvan to work on a music album in world music

Yuvan Shankar Raja is busy scoring the background music for Pattiyal after which he would complete Pudhupettai�s rerecording. Once these projects are over, he has disclosed his wish to work on a music album incorporating world music. He said that of late his interest in spirituality had increased much and he wanted solitude. This would give him the right experiences to come up with a special kind of music album. He promised that the album would be influenced by global genres of music.

A R Rahman and his global rounds
March 09, 2006

After his swashbuckling comeback with Rang De Basanti, AR Rahman, who met presspersons in Mumbai spoke at length about his forthcoming projects. With a new close shaven look, courtesy his trip to the Haj in January, the reticent Rahman was excited about his work on the stage version of Lord of the Rings. He said that his experience of collaborating with Varttina, a Finnish band was inspiring. The nearly $28 million play was previewed on February 4. The musical opens in Toronto on March 28 and moves to London next year. He said that it was not the Bombay Dreams kind of music and he had worked on 15 tracks. There was some Indian influence including a few alaaps by the talented Shankar Mahadevan.

But, mostly it was the global genres which he presented. He answered the complaint that he was more interested in international projects than those at home, he said �Bollywood or Kollywood or global stage, my aim is to produce good music. I work only on those projects which convince and challenge my creativity. Like Shekar Kapur and Aishwarya Rai, I also take Indian cinema around the world. So, what�s wrong?� You are bang right, sir! Keep up the good work!

Ilayaraja�s Godly dedication
March 11, 2006

In the tinsel town they call him Sami. Yes, for many Music Director Ilayaraja is a recluse. Ilayaraja�s intense faith in the Mother Goddess at Moogambika has won him that name. Following many of his prayers answered by the Goddess, prayers that his son Yuvan Shankar Raja may shine in the field, prayers that his daughter Bhavatharini be married into a good family, Raja dedicated a diamond crown to the Goddess. Earlier, he had given a diamond hastha, or palm, to the Goddess. It is said that he has so far donated more than a crore of rupees to the temple in some form. Well, the Goddess has indeed shown her blessings to this guy for to his fans, he is still the king of Tamil cinema music.

ARR is a legend no doubt, but I think it's safe to say that Harris Jeyaraj is slowly (keep in mind, I said slowly) breathing up his neck in terms of being the ultimate tamil MD...

I listened to Uyirile...OMG!! What beautiful orchestration...the sounds mixed together to form one of the most beautiful songs

His use of instruments is just icing on top of the cake with beautiful songs like Vennilave and Partha Mudhal

I agree ARR provides variety (I loved GF songs!), For HJ, although, his songs may sound repetitive, they are sure to stick in ur head because he spices them up each time differently...

All HJ needs to do is spread his wings further into other languages and internationally! ARR's primary statement has always been that at his time, the technology was not as advanced as it is now for the current MDs, which will always be true and that it was makes him a legend...However, people like HJ are pretty impressive for their time!!

R Rahman still unpaid for "The Rising"
March 14, 2006

The music of AR Rahman for Amir Khan�s The Rising and Rang De Basanti was simply superb. There is no gainsaying that. The guy puts his heart and soul into his work. How come people who work hard get taken for a ride sometimes? For The Rising, the legend was paid only 15% of what he was promised. And the amount was to go to Prague Orchestra.

It is more than a couple of months since the movie hit the screen and the producer, Bobby Bedi is yet to pay Rahman his due. In fact, the producer had told in an interview that he had recovered more than he had invested from the film. Why was then Rahman left unpaid? The producer now says that he thought that Rahman had already been paid and that too a lot.

A.R.Rahman's office could not be reached for comments.

Wish he concentrates more on the following

a)Private albums (much adorable theme) to a specific or collection of genres.
b)A complete Instrumental Soundtrack like Vaneesa Mae (Arr's Raaga Dance) collaborating with Indian/international composers.
c)Collabrate with renowned singers all over the world for a variety of songs depicting different cultures, traditions etc.
d)Promote Poverty theme . Being a brand Ambassador of Stop TB shall think of composing more such themes for World Peace, Olympic/CW/World Cup games, if offered.
e)Concentrate on Symphony "Conference of Birds" aggressively. Being delayed for a long time.
f)Perform more live concerts
g) The themes of Roja, Bombay, Indian, Karuthamma, TLOBS, Pukar(ohbosnia/ek tuhi barosa), Bose, Swades, RDB, Water can be compiled for a re-release.

Hopefully, TLOR will give a drift towards these projects. Listen to the 13 themes of Bose & WOHE themes. One of the best orchestral version of Indian National Anthem (Bose) went unnoticed. Thats the fate of Music in Indian movies.

Tamizha Tamizha Naalai Nam Naazhlae that�s how he initiated his career (a pre composed theme for "Water" Request to a neighbouring state, MR grabbed it for "ROJA").

Enough Indian movies ARR: We need a Grammy, Oscar, Symphony & a Doctorate, Nobel prize in an international arena. If not U, who else

Want to sing for Harris Jayaraj?
March 16, 2006

With the satellite channels trying their best to woo viewers, the concept of reality shows and talent hunt has been gaining much popularity with the media executives. We now have shows to crown the best singer, dancer, mimicry artist, comedian or even commentator. Apart from loads of goodies as prizes, the chosen few get a chance to work with the bigwigs of the film industry. For example, Airtel has announced the plans for the contest called Super Singer. The lucky winner would go on to sing for ace music director, Harris Jayaraj. This is probably the first time that a leading Tamil music director has been associated with a talent hunt by providing a platform for working with him.

Till now, most of them have been judges at contests but there was no confirmed offer of working under them. New voices like Saindhavi, Guru charan, Madhumita etc. were winners at several live contests but they have made an impact only after gaining a toehold on their own and none got an offer on a platter. The winner of Super Singer would definitely be very lucky in that respect. Audio cassettes can be sent or contestants can walk in to any of the video booths.

AR Rahman, PC Sriram to join for a Telugu flick? March 23, 2006

If reports are true, A M Ratnam will be making a movie with Pawan Kalyan in the director�s chair. Pawan, basically a hero, is not new to direction . He has already worked on flicks like Johnny and Kutumba Shankar. Scripting the story himself, Pawan plans to bring P C Sriram behind the camera and A R Rahman to score the music. Rathnam, Pawan, Sriram and Rahman�the combination is deadly man!

�It�s not Symphony at all.� Allegation against Maestro Ilayaraja.
March 23, 2006

Two professors of the Madras University allege that Ilayaraja did not score symphony music at all. This news has created ripples because recently Raja�s Thiruvachagam in Oratorio format has become a big hit. The professors, V and Venkatesan of Presidency College and Department of Music have said that Raja had asked the London Philharmonic Orchestra to play under his baton by paying some fee.

The professors claim that they have documentary confirmation from the Orchestra. Besides, they also claim that Symphony and Oratorio are not the same. Hence, Raja should come out with an explanation. We do not know the background behind such remarks after such a long time, but let us wait and watch the developments.

Bharadwaj on target
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, March 23, 2006]

Bharadwaj has won the accolades from fans of Ajith for his peppy tunes in Tirupathi. After Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam and Attagasam, it's the fourth film for Bharadwaj and Ajith combo.

Relishing the experience of working with Ajith, Bharadwaj says, 'we share a good rapport and hence all songs I composed for him has hit the chartbusters.

Tirupathi is being produced by AVM and directed by Perarasu.

Working with AVM, the music-director, says, 'I'm comfortable when I work for AVM. I enjoyed scoring music for the production house's earlier ventures Gemini and Anbae Anbae. The O Podu number in Gemini won an identity for me'.

'Director Perarasu has penned the lyrics himself and hence it was easy for me to team up with him and get what he wanted,' Bharadwaj says.

Guess what is Bharadwaj's favourite song in the album? The title song Tirupathi Vantha sung by Shankar Mahadevan, which he says will surely rock theatres.

I was really split between Ilayaraja and Rahman. But Rahman got my vote because he has more range that Ilayaraja. While Ilayaraja seems to limit himself to one style (folk i feel) Rahman uses indian, western, even some african folk styles in his music. And thats why his popurality is not just limited to south india, or one generation

A fascinating blend of Eastern and Western styles. The music is instantly appealing -- rhythmically, harmonically, formally. The use of traditional Indian instruments in a modern musical context makes for a rich palette of tone colors and creates a wide range of expressive possibilities. - Mark Laycock, Director of Orchestral Activities, Iowa State University, Iowa, United States of America.

A look into how the music directors work
March 24, 2006
Behindwoods.com

Don�t think that the work of a music director is just setting music to verses and making a few sounds when the scenes unroll. He is a part and parcel of the movies, recording events, emotions and plots in a style that he knows well�music. The music of every music director has its own signature, be it Ilayaraja or A R Rahman. Let us look into the styles of how well-known music directors work.

Ilaya Raja, the master of re-recording

The maestro is considered as the master of re-recording. Observe his background music and you are sure to find subtle allusions to and the nuances of the plot. Raja takes his own time to work for a movie and you can�t goad him to meet a deadline. He is fastidious about songs. Who writes the lyrics, what the context is and which hero or character sings matter a lot. Not surprisingly, several directors and producers owe their film's success to the maestro. When he is at the recording theatre, he is a different man, very religious regarding music. Smokers and tipsters are banned at his place of work.

Recent best seller: Virumaandi
Much expected: Maayakkannadi

A R Rahman � hardwork and smart work

Rahman is religious in his personal life but, when it comes to music he is totally unorthodox. Working almost eighteen hours a day, his work culture is hard work, smart work and creative work all rolled into one. Well, that takes a lot of time and in the industry, he is known for his slow pace. He may even take a month just to set a song in music. He doesn�t bother much about re-recording. Anyway, that is taken care of by his assistants.

Everytime AR Rahman teams up with movie stalwarts like Manirathnam and Shankar, it has always resulted in chart-buster numbers. However, when he works with other directors who show a lot of promise, like Pravin Gandhi and AM Jothikrishna, though the songs are a big hit, the movies fail. As Rahman has himself confesed, the mystery behind a winning combination still remains elusive. So he is quite choosy about the directors he would work with.

If there is one thing that Rahman is famous for, well, it is his penchant for new talents. It was he who introduced Unni Krishnan, Sadhana Sargam, Udit Narayan, Karthik, Srinivas and Nithya Shree into playback singing in Tamil.

Much expected: Sivaji, Guru

Harris � Director�s Music director

Harris has always been a lucky mascot even for debutante directors. That puts him in the big league and he comes a close second to AR Rahman, in the current list of top music directors. Harris Jeyaraj is also a tech-savvy music director, who understands the needs of the director and gives just that � nothing more, nothing less. Harris has a bunch of hit films and songs which have become favorites like Vaseegara from Minnalae, Povvae from 12B. He has a sensitive approach towards the lyrics and his tunes always complement the lyrics. Examples, Gulmohar Malarae in Majnu and Moongil kadugalae in Samurai.

Harris has slight similarity with �Isai Puyal� with respect to working style. He has good judgment of the mood of the song. His versatility can be seen from his range of melodious to a polished kuthu pattu , best example being 12B�s theme music.

Much expected: July Katru

Yuvan Shankar Raja, a bundle of talents

Watch out for this guy. Son of maestro Ilayaraja, he has charted his own course. He has in-depth knowledge of different genres of music and also has the ability to package it to suit the young audience. Yuvan seems to have hit it off well with the younger crop of directors like Selvaraghavan and Vishnuvardhan. When he joins with them, you can bet there is some great music in the making.

Rahman had once predicted a great future for Yuvan. He is fast at re-recording and if he has a liking for special things, it is composing in exotic locale. The last two years have seen this talent on a rising mode

Recent bestsellers: Puduppettai, Pattiyal
Much expected: Vallavan

Bharadwaj: You simply can�t please him

This man has his own style. You simply can�t please him and so, his singers have a tough time. He sets his music into notations, which the singers must follow meticulously. Like Rahman he too has a soft corner for new talents. He trains them and makes them deliver the goods. After some soulful music in �Autograph�, Bharadwaj has delivered some racy numbers in Tirupathi. The gap after �Autograph� has been long but definitely worth it. Tirupathi promises to bring along new opportunities for him. Not only in Tamil, he is also popular in Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam.

Recent bestsellers: Tirupathi
Much expected: Jambhavan

Vidyasagar, the master of melodies

Known as the master of melodies, he doesn�t vibe much with what goes in the name of modern music. At times he does relent and comes up with groovy, eclectic numbers. He likes singers with good pronunciation and who can appreciate good lyrics. When Vidyasagar scores music, you can be sure you will have at least one big hit song. Working on crunch projects is nothing new to Vidyasagar. But when it comes to working with Superstar, the pressure is palpable. However, he has always managed to deliver beyond expectations. With several musical hits to his credit, Vidyasagar is slowly making his way to the top slot.

Recent bestseller: Chandramukhi
Much expected: Mozhi

Dina � producers� music director

This guy doesn�t mind the story or the context in which a song appears. Music is his job and he does it well. He is a producers� music director and does what he is asked to do. But then, recording will take place at his own time and at his place. Manmadha Rasa of Thiruda Thirudi popularized him very much.
Recent bestseller: Tirupachi
Much expected: Pori

Srikanth Deva, an everyman�s musician

Srikanth Deva is an everyman�s music director like his father Deva. Simple, straightforward yet a king in knowing the pulse and beat of the lay, Srikanth Deva knows what clicks with the unsophisticated moviegoer. His style of accommodating the whims and wishes of the directors and the producers is proverbial. Give him a song and he comes with a dozen varieties of tunes. Whichever the directors like, he goes for them. He doesn�t thrust his personal choice upon them.

Next time you listen to a song, find out who the music director is and what his style is; you�ll understand better what has gone into recording the song.

AR Rahman�s Canada concert failed to impress?
March 27, 2006

AR Rahman can now afford to relax. He has just completed the Lord of the Rings concert in Toronto, Canada. In fact, Rahman is such a strong favourite that the concert raked in more than Rs. 1.5 crores as advance booking. The musical extravaganza directed by Matthew Warchus is a stage adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Held on March 23rd at Toronto, on a whopping budget of $2.7 million, the concert drew huge crowds, though some say Rahman failed to impress. Unfazed by naysayers, Rahman is one man who always believes in raising the bar.

Jeeva and Yuvan Shankar Raja have won the best actor and best music director awards for Ameer directed Raam at the prestigious Cyprus International Film festival. The last Tamil film to get an award at this festival was Veerapandiakattabomman 45 years back!
Raam has done wonders to Jeeva�s career and director Ameer who had represented the film in Greece received the prestigious award on Jeeva�s behalf.

Said a beaming Jeeva to Moviebuzz: �Actually I never expected to get this award otherwise I would have definitely gone with Ameer to Greece. I feel that he is the right person to receive it, as it is his film�.

Jeeva also added that out of 200 films from all over the world including Paheli in Hindi, 11 were selected for the final round. Says Jeeva: �It is such a big recognition for a newcomer like me to get such a prestigious award and I thank almighty for it�.

Harris Jeyaraj going Tollywood
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, March 30, 2006]

After Yuvan Shankar Raja, it's now Harris Jeyaraj's turn to venture to Tollywood. Following the success of his tunes in Ghajini and Anniyan, Haris has won fans not just in Tamil Nadu but also Telugu filmdom.

Now the music-composer has bee roped in to score music for a direct Telugu movie titled Munna. The movie stars Prabhas in the lead role.

It may be recalled that Yuvan recently composed music for the Telugu flick Happy starring 'Bunny' Arjun and the songs won the admiration of music buffs in Andhra.

Beware Devi Sri Prasad and Manisharma.
_____________________________________________________

This is good ... I thought Harris would actually make it big in Hindi just like Gurnaathar ARR after the Minnale remake in 2001 ... But unfortunately, the movie dint click at the BO as much as the songs did (atleast with my N. Indian friends) .... So I atleast wish that jinx doesnt get carried to the Telugu venture with him ... Good Luck !!!

A R Rehman becomes ad model!
- 31.03.2006

�Till 2001, I was not too keen on earning tons of money. Only after building my own studio did I get the desire to make money.�

A R Rehman who has been composing music for films and English stage plays is becoming a model, that too for a big company. There�s lot of money to be made from modeling for ads.

When director Shekar Kapoor introduced A R Rehman to Andrew Lloyd Weber, it brought about a turning point in Rehman�s career. He entered international circles after composing music for �Bombay Dreams� and for a Chinese film.

Now music from his �Taal� mixed with rap has come out as an album. His �thaiya thaiya� from �Uyire� even finds place in Spike Lee�s Hollywood film. Even as these milestones are happening, it was a matter of disappointment that his music for �Lord of the Rings� did not go down favorably with the viewers. But this has in no way tarnished his reputation says a world famous company.

World Space Satellite Radio has signed on A R Rehman as their publicity model.

A R Rehman is to compose some special music for them. In connection with this, Shishir Lal of World Space Satellite Radio says, �Rehman�s music will help us reach music lovers across the globe.�

Sachin earns more money through his modeling assignments than through his game on the field. Now World Space Radio has opened the doors to riches and we heartily approve of Rehman agreeing to be their model.

This is a boon to music and heaven to music lovers!
_____________________________________________________

Even the company approves that ARR's music will take them across the globe !!! Wow, this is becoming universal truth now ....

Ilayaraja�s magnanimity
March 31, 2006

Two professors have said that the symphony music of Maestro Ilayaraja has not been composed by him at all. While Raja kept a studied silence, Velu Prabhakaran, the atheist who gave you movies like Kadavul, goes vehemently in favour of Ilayaraja. �I don�t believe in God but when I see Ilayaraja I know what it would be to believe in God. I don�t understand why people target a holy man like him. He has music in his blood. Whether he knows music and whether he has composed the symphony music can be guessed by the type of music he has given us so far.� Well said, Velu Prabhakaran.

Mentor�s magic words and AR Rahman�s hit songs
April 05, 2006

There is a story that before AR Rahman composed a hit song, he would visit his late guru Karimulla Kadri Khan in Ponneri and wait on him. His guru would go into meditation and then give him a word. If Rahman used the word in his song, it would become a big hit. That is how Rahman got words like Mustafaa Mustafaa, Muquabula Muquabula and Chaiya Chaiya. Well, the words still ring in his fans� minds and now it has started ringing in Hollywood.
Filmmaker Spike Lee�s Inside Man, a Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen starrer, features Rahman�s Chaiya, Chaiya song both in the opening and closing scenes.

The song, of course, has drawn critical notice. Digvijay Singh, a Los Angeles based Indian filmmaker feels it doesn�t gel with the movie. However, the song written by veteran Gulzar and the music composed by Rahman have touched a vibrant chord with mainstream American moviegoers.

One executive from a production company in Hollywood had asked his Indian assistant to get him a CD of the song right away. A senior journalist on the Wall Street has said that the influence of Indian movies on Hollywood is greatly increasing. It ought to for India, today, is the largest producer of films in the world and it has some of the finest filmmakers, directors and music directors. Is Rahman the vanguard?

AR Rahman: �Remix but don�t slaughter�
April 18, 2006

AR Rahman is a self-confessed lover of Chinese films. The much sought-after music director who has scored music for the Chinese film, �Heaven and Earth� said that he has been watching Chinese films since over a decade and loved them for their simplicity. Speaking to the media recently he said he was delighted to be a part of the Lord of the Rings concert in Canada.

Talking of remixes, he said he was not against them. However, he condemned remixes that �try �to kill the original. Rahman said he had no future plans and said at the moment he has his hands full, with Rajini�s �Sivaji�, Surya�s �Jillenu Oru Kaadal�, Manirathnam�s Hindi film �Guru�, and a couple of other Hindi films.

A R Rehman composes music for Chinese film
- 19.04.2006

The music for the stage production of �Lord of the Rings� is quite different from Tamil film songs. According to its composer A R Rehman, Canadian fans seem to like it immensely. Rehman has fans all over the world but his Hong Kong fans are rather special. Maybe that�s the reason he has composed music for yet another Chinese film.

�I have been listening to Chinese music for the past 15 years. It�s really beautiful.� Rehman has composed music for �Between Heaven and Earth.� In Tamil, the music for �Jillendru Oru Kaadhal� and �Sivaji� are his only latest, because �Godfather� music is already old hat by now.

Compared to Tamil, the Hindi scene seems to be much better. He is composing music for �London Dreams� directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, �Jodha Akbar� and for �Guru� directed by Mani Ratnam featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. There are also discussions about composing music for some other films.

After the isai puyal�s re-mix in �New,� many other re-mix songs have been released in Tamil. As the person who started the re-mix trend here, he was asked if re-mixing was right or wrong and his stand was half way.

�There�s nothing wrong in re-mixing old songs, but one should see to it that the soul of the original song is not lost.�

If there was soul, this question would not have been necessary!

Yeppa people...i do know IR is better than ARR but God of music is too much..what IR can do and achieve is something ARR will not be able to do but ARR is a musical genius by himself while IR,well no words to describe the quality and composing technique of his music.

We are all pleased to have this two musicians coming from India and should be proud of that.But to either say ARR is the god of music or IR is abit too much...there are others like mozart,bach,beethoven,mahler who have revolutionised music and people like John williams who have also done quite alot in music.

I agree IR may be one of the best or even best composers in the world now and of the last century but God of music is too much...same goes for ARR who is a good composer in his own right as well.

for me it was after getting a collection of his mp3 CD. I added all the songs to winamp playlist, and put it on shuffle. every now and then one stunning prelude will throw up, i wonder wether it is any english song from my collection, that i havent heard. then it transforms into the beautiful melodies which we are all familiar with. I always wondered, how come i never noticed any of these before.

There is alot of intricate and complex style of composing involving fusion of WCM and jazz...india folk and baroque....african rhythms and indian folk...folk and WCM...and at times keyboard usage.

Let us not take anything from ARR who also gives us complex compositions like vennilavae of Minsara Kanavu at times...theres alot in IR music if you go deeper you will find some complex notes neva played before in tamil film music and perhaps music as a whole.

Ilayaraja to score music for a Big B flick
April 25, 2006

Well, this is news indeed. Ilaya Raja teaming up with Big B to score music for Debutant Director Balakrishnan�s Amitab Bachhan�Tabu starrer Chen Kam. Is Ilaya Raja, influenced as he is by Bach, going to pull off a fast one using the rich baritone of the Big B? You bet! The movie is produced by Sun Manchanda and this marks Amitab�s return to the big screen after a long absence following his illness. The maestro has just completed scoring music for RGV�s Siva, starring Mohit Ahlatwat.

Rahman�s music feast in �Jillunu Oru Kaadhal�

Going by its title, this film may sure provide a welcome relief from the scorching summer heat. �Jillunu Oru Kaadhal�, slated for a June release, is a beautiful triangular love-story with Surya, Jothika, and Bhoomika in the lead. The chemistry between Surya and Jo is said to be quite apparent on screen, which has further added depth to the characterization. In fact, the hoardings of the film are already popular because of the striking visual appeal. Surya�s hairstyle in Gajini was a sort of a fashion statement.
In this film, he sports a different hairstyle, which again is likely to create a sensation.

The piece de resistance of the film is said to be A.R. Rahman�s music. A.R. has scored six melodious numbers which are likely to top the charts.

Yuvan Vs Harris!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 26 April , 2006, 17:48

On the musical charts there is a major battle brewing between Yuvan Shankar Raja and Harris Jayaraj for the top slot.

The battle is who is more popular with yuppy, ringtone loving youth who accounts for nearly 90 percent of sales from music stores. Yuvan and Harris account for 75 percent of the total audio sales from music shops in Chennai.

Among the top ten, Yuvan has three top selling albums while Harris took over the hot seat since the release of Vetayadu Vilayadu. Remember that Yuvan has not been able to match Harris� Ghajini audio sales.

But Yuvan is more prolific and dishes out hits at regular intervals at least 6 to 8 audio tracks in a year while Harris does only 2-3 films.

Both the music directors have made deep inroads into Telugu audio market which is more paying. Their salary including the re-recording for the film ranges from 50 to 55 Lakhs.
_____________________________________________________

* What a healthy competition of two talented MDs that are rockin Tamil and Telugu cinema ...

* My bet on Harris, though I know Yuvan also has a lot of fans ...

* Hopefully, it doesnt become a battle of badmouthing either side !!!

Harris Jayaraj back with Aparichit

Do you still sway to the melody of 'Zara Zara'? Do you still feel the pain of 'Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana'? But do you still remember the composer who gave music for the film 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein'?

He is Harris Jayaraj, who was never heard again for Hindi film music, inspite of his Bollywood debut being such a smash hit! Now he would be heard again for the soundtrack of the film 'Aparichit', which is the dubbed version of 2005's mega hit 'Anniyan'.

Apart from 'Anniyan', Harris has gained quite some popularity in the South for his numerous hit scores such as 12 B, Majunu, and most recently Ghajini.

Rehman for Harris
IndiaGlitz [Friday, April 28, 2006]

Director A R Murugadoss is all set to direct his Ghajini in Hindi. Aamir Khan would play the lead role with Asin playing his ladylove.

Interestingly, Harris Jayaraj, who composed the musical score for the original, would be replaced by A R Rehman.

Sources say Aamir Khan had insisted on Rehman working in the movie.

Starting with Lagaan down through Mangal Pandey and now Rang De Basanti, Aamir has hit it off with Rehman.

Ghajini starring Suriya and Asin went on to become a big hit in Tamil and established Murugadoss as a sought-after director in Kollywood.

Currently he is directing a Telugu movie featuring Chiranjeevi and Trisha, Murugadoss would commence the Hindi venture of Ghajini only after completing the Chiranjeevi starrer.

Rahman joins hands with Nokia
Friday, 28 April , 2006, 18:08

Nokia today joined hands with music maestro A R Rahman for the initiative " Pray For Me", under which a series of events and activities would be conducted and the proceeds given to the poverty alleviation programmes of the United Nations.

As part of this, Nokia today presented Indias first N91 music smartphone to the musician.

A R Rahman has composed and sung a song "Pray for Me" along with singer Blaaze, who has written the song. "The goal to eradicate poverty, is the mission waiting to be fulfilled, raising awareness and creating solutions through the song," Rahman said.

To support the "Pray For Me" music initiative, Nokia N-Series will be conducting a series of events and activities across the country. The proceeds generated from the activities and the sale of the album will be donated to the United Nations charity towards poverty alleviation.

Gautam Advani, Director, Multimedia, Nokia India, said the company has launched two N Series phones in India apart from this one and two more are expected to be launched soon, he said.

Responding to a query, Rahman said the music industry was almost destroyed by piracy in the last three years adding that devices like the Nokia N91 could revive the industry.

The N91 provides a 4 GB Storage space, can store upto 3,000 songs, apart from a host of other advanced functionalities. It is priced at Rs 33,000.

Advani said the phone has a Digital Right Management System which would prevent any kind of piracy to happen through such devices.

A R Rahman in support of Maestro
May 01, 2006

You cannot miss A.R. Rahman at an event. There is always the customary adrenalin-charged atmosphere when he walks in although the guy himself is cool as cucumber. He attended the launch of Sakkarakkatti. What is special about this film is that it would be a collaboration between two second-generation film folks. K. Bhagyaraj�s son, Shantanu, makes his debut as hero while the director is Prabu, son of noted producer Thanu. Kalaippuli Thanu is the producer. Talking about his association with the project, ARR said that he had known both Bhagyaraj and Thanu and was excited to be part of the project.

Asked why he did not do many films in Tamil of late, he said that the banner and the director were the most important criteria. He worked with people with whom he shared a good vibe. He was quite happy to be doing Jillendru oru kadhal, Sivaji and Sakkarakkatti. All the three were very special to him.

On the international front, he would be doing the sequel for Shekar Kapur�s Oscar-winning Elizabeth. He was planning to start work on his religious album which would be produced and marketed by KM Music.

Asked to comment on the Tiruvachagam controversy, he vehemently claimed that it was simply ridiculous to blame Raja. He had heard the symphony and it bore the stamp of Raja�s genius.

That�s Rahman for you. Humble and respectful of seniors.

Will Rahman again team up with Aamir Khan?
May 02, 2006

The most popular songs of the past year undoubtedly were from Gajini. Surya�s superb performance and Asin�s magnetic presence added to the film�s charm. So impressed was Aamir Khan, that he decided that he would remake the film in Hindi with himself in the lead. He has also expressed his wish that Asin should play the role she did in Tamil. Now, comes the all important question of who would score the music in the Hindi version. If reports are to be believed, Harris who did the original would not. Therefore, the obvious choice would be ARR. Aamir�s association with Rahman goes way back from Rangeela, Lagaan, Mangal Pandey and the recent RDB. Both are quite comfortable with each other. But then Rahman is busy with Sivaji, Jillendru Oru Kadhal, Sakkara Katti and a couple of others. Besides, Aamir himself is doing Fanaa with Kajol.

Murugadoss is busy with Stalin in Telugu. Asin is working in Annavaram, the Telugu remake of Tirupachi and she could be cast in Bangaram�s Tamil version Thangam. So, the question now is will Rahman, Murugadoss and Asin be able to adjust their dates to start work with Aamir. Knowing his stature, we are sure none of them would be willing to let the chance go by.

Best or worst, when it comes to music, it's becomes so personal. It's one of the things that can transcend the language barrier, and we fiercely protect the people who can speak directly to our heart. Which is why there are people who would rather die than admit some other person produces nice songs.

I'm a huge fan of ARR and his type of music. His tunes are brilliant, with unexpected twists and turns at every stanza. He is experimental and tries to sample a bit of every genre in his work, and those are the pieces that I especially like. His genius is unavoidable, and I wouldn't be wrong if I were to say he has single-handedly changed the face of not only Tamil, but Indian music.

On the other hand, there is the (perceived) traditionalist, Illaiyaraja. His work, when compared to ARR's, especially at first hearing, seems almost stoic and boring. And I suppose this will hold especially true for people who did not grow up with his music. But let's not forget Illaiyaraja was also a catalyst and rebel, who changed perceptions of what Tamil music was like a long time ago.

And ultimately, while I love what ARR does to his songs, it is Illaiyaraja who speaks to me, with his almost stark simplicity.

Songs like Dhinam Dhinam Deepavali and Theekuruvi have amazed me lately, but songs like Hey Oraayiram, Radha Azhaikiraal and even Ennai Thalaata Varuvaala have kept me in wonder for many years.

And thus, my vote goes to Illaiyaraja.

Of course, after having said all this. None of the songs I'm listening to at the moment are from these two emiment music directors.
Karthik Raja has finally impressed me again after Manickam with Naalai. Ilavattam has got a few interesting songs. Vallavan has been a bit of a let down, though.

I voted for ilayaraaja......

Reason:
i) Everlasting melodies
ii) most of the songs doesn't irritate the ears
iii) simple lyrics
iv) king of re-recording
v) gives super hits for new directors even in the 90's eg: idhayam, sethu, azhagi etc.

(but now i'm really doubting multiple ids to cast votes here, guys whoever is doing this - IR fan or ARR fan, its not going to be fun....if it all its happening........mods, i'm not complaining )........

If some Kamal make nagative comments on SOK/Varalaaru it is because they are kamal fans and they dont want those movies to be hit.

There may be few. but not everyone like that

By the way had u not heard the song "theepidikka" "aarariraaro"..

This had changed from the past. In the past, TF industry had less domination of VAARISU's ! Now, finding a person without film background is becoming difficult !

Simple. You are replying to my post. And yesterday u mentioned we comment on varalaaru as i was kamal fan

i didnt say u were a IR fan Laughing

why to compare the music released on different seasons? Pattiyal and PP too topped during their period i believe.

When u say Ghajini, VV, SOK were chartbusting u miss one point. All these have Top stars as their. That is also one reason for the audio success.

But see the movies like Arindum Ariyaamalum, Raam, Pattiyal, Sandakozhi, Kanda naal Muthal, PP, Manmathan, Vallavan and many more without any leading stars they made impact and they topped in Top 5 during their period.

Dont say that Vishal, Simbu and Dhanush all are leading stars.

During ARR's peak period i come across people clapping when his name shown. The same as of now i had come across for YSR and HJ.

Agree with you Thiru!

If a person is sucessful without any family background ,it is surely deserves appreciation.

At the same time ,If a person have talent and achive something ,If you hate that person just because he has family background ..and giving no credit for his individual talent is pathetic.

Pretty true ! But we have seen lot of talented people waiting in the Q for the right oppourtunity expecting that GOD will bless them one day ! But star kids doesn't have this. They get as many oppourtunities in the initial times so that they can excel ! But for others, it is DO OR DIE situation.

becoming a POLICE MAN / DOCTOR by passing the required exams is fine. becoming a POLICE MAN through several IMPROVEMENTS / KILLINGS is
BTW, I read a news in TFM that IR had given REMIX rights for his films to KR alone ! Not sure whether it is true ! If that is the case, then why don't he give that entirely for others !

Joe, You got it completely wrong ! I never said that YSR doesn't deserve this. What I said was: The gap b/w a

TALENTED PERSON with family background BECOMING POPULAR

and

TALENTED PERSON with no family background BECOMING POPULAR

Listen.. If YSR proved him with his first movie itself with that, then it is fine. He took so much time and then he got some offers. It was after TI only he became popular !

For a relatively new MD, this cannot be expected..Remember KR too got popular banners and directors !

I too agree that HJ is popular. I like him as well as ARR. The way Maddy talk is like YSR songs are not popular.

Who is more popular? That cannot be decided by few persons like us

But i feel as of now YSR is more popular next comes HJ. I may be wrong.

And when we say songs more popular few factors we need to consider.

When CM topped the audio sales, Rajini factor matters. For Anniyan Shankar factor is there..

One more thing in past few Years it Was YSR who did more compared to ARR, HJ and many were hits.

I understood your point .But completely ignore or not accepting all Varisu's is not correct ..there are some people with less talent got more opertunity since they are varisu..I noticed sometimes MADDY sounds like all varisus are not deserved and all non-varisus are great.

After Aravindan, he didnt give a hit for 3 years.....still he could come again and compose for a top star's movie like Ajith in Dheena........honestly, u tell me, if HJ or ARR or VS had given duds after duds for 3 yrs, would they have got a chance to compose for a top hero???

MADDY,

//u forgot wat IR and ARR did in their first movie........

The statement i made was common. Not only taking MD's. People Like MGR, Kamal, Rajini, etc, etc,...
did not go to their peak in therir first movie itself. Even IR and ARR did not go to their peak in
their fisrt movie. They made big impact in their movie. That is it. Even YSR Made impact in his first movie. The songs were quite different and good in the movie Aravindan. The only disadvantage for him is what u are saying as disadvantage. People used to talk that it is IR who helped in composing those songs.

//After Aravindan, he didnt give a hit for 3 years.....still he could come again and compose for a top star's movie like Ajith in Dheena........

I am taking help of wikipedia here as i was not looking at YSR from the begininng.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuvan_Shankar_Raja

The link says Aravindan 1997. After that movies like Velai, Kalyaana Kalatta. I dont have really any idea on what those movies, who acted in that, how the music was, whether they releasesed, etc.. You can enlighten us on how the music was if u had listened.
Then come "Unakaaga ellaam unakaaga". It had good songs. "Vennilaa Veliyae varuvaaya" song was a hit that time though the movie was a flop. Then come Poovellaam kaettu paar. Do i need to tell it had wonderful songs? All these came in the year 1999. So the gap between Aravindan and UEU is just 1 and 1/2 years. Not 3 years. That too, he did not do several movies between them. Just 2 movies. That too i am not sure on the quality of the songs in those 2 movies. It could have been good also.!

//honestly, u tell me, if HJ or ARR or VS had given duds after duds for 3 yrs, would they have got a chance to compose for a top hero???

U tell me honestly all the following movies he did before dheena were duds?

# 2001 - Nandha
# 2001 - Thulluvatho Illamai
# 1999 - Poovellam Kettuppar
# 1999 - Unakkaga Ellam Unakkaga

That too "Mun Paniyaa, muthal Mazhaya" was a class and would go into many people's favourite song. U May not like as you research whether the song composed by a Vaarisu or not and then u start listening probably !!!

//i'm sorry, but i feel very strong abt this topic......cos when some work so hard for success, these guys are having life so easy.......u know, ARR used to rent music instruments to make ends meet.....he dropped out of school for lack of money......IR used to perform on streets with his brothers..........

I give lots of respect for their achievements even after coming from poor background/undergoing lots of difficuly. Not only the 2 u mentioned, there are so many to mention here.

According to me, For a person to get succeeded it is him/her who should be chosing their path and look for oppurtunities. And there might be always someone who would directly or indirectly lifting them.
For example, Nadigar Thilagam was recommended by Anna/Kalaignar for Parasakthi movie. And Shivaji made use of the oppurtunity when Anna/Kalaignar watched Shivaji's Drama. This will be applicable to many.
In this case Anna/Kalaignar Showed the route. In YSR/Any other Varisu, their father's popularity showed the route. But it was YSR/Other Varisu who chose the path and his talents which were the backbone for their success.

Consider for example, If YSR had chosen some other profession, for eg..Doctor and was recognised as very worth doctor, still people will say it is because his father was a popular figure that is why he could be so successful. So Any vaarisu of a popular figure should not get success even if he has talent. Is that so?

I had seen you Prasing Surya and his acting and his movies. He is also a Vaarisu. Why not the hatred shown on him? As he is not competing with ARR? Is it so? I feel u dislike YSR just because u are a Theevira ARR fan. That is it. You are finding reasons for ur dislike to him. That is it.

As u/ someone said there are so many with great talents waiting outside. I would say we can even find greater talents Than Rajini, Kamal, Vijay, Ajith, ARR, IR etc... Should we send all these people out of the industry?
YSR had come forward and looked for the oppurtunity. Vijay came forward and informed his dad his interest in cinema. And many so... IR Popularity used as ladder for YSR, SAC's money used as a ladder for Vijay. Like that many other popular personality during some period could have got some ladder in some forms and got entry. Any talented person if they have right attitude can search for such ladder. It could be found. Timeline may vary depends on the background and the amount of effort they put. But it is them who had to search. It is not anyone's mistake of being a varisu.

I would eat apple for its taste, i wont see whether it come from Kashmir or any kuppaikaadu.

As a fan i like songs of IR, ARR, MSV, YSR, HJ, VS, etc if they look good me. I will look at the talents.

One question. If u are really look at people's talent and hardwork and the background, why u hate Kamal..
He is the only one who puts 100% effort on cinema, complete professional, Complete hardworker, does not misguides his fans and so many we can say.. Going by your words and opinion Kamal should have been ur all time favourite. But u hate Kamal for strange reason. !

However i dont have anything more to say on this topic. I am stopping my argument here.! That too hatred on YSR is too harsh. Other than his father's popularity i dont think he got any other help from his father.

The biggest musical rivalry in Tamil cinema

Tamil cinema music is competitive as never before.Gone are the days of MSV-Ilayaraja & Ilayaraja-A.R.Rahman, where it was always a 2 way battle for the top spot.Today ,we see several composers making forays into the music charts with their own syle of music.Tamil music is also a money spinner because of the high prices for audio rights and the craze for Tamil movie music is at an all time high with maximum exposure in music channels and FM radio services.

So which music director commands the highest price and who is the hottest in the music charts? Lets take a look at the top four.

VIDYASAGAR

Starting from Dil,Vidyasagar was on a dream run with a long line of consecutive hits that included,Dhool,Run, Anbae Sivam, Thirumalai,Ghilli, Madhurey,and Ji. He hit the peak of popularity with Chandramukhi that topped music charts. During this period he composed music for all the top heroes like Rajini,Kamal,Vijay,Ajith and Vikram. However post Chandramukhi,his run of form has been rather mediocre at best. His compositions for Majaa, Paramasivan and Aadhi had nothing new and were duds in the audio market. But there does seem to be a revival on the cards with Em Mahan, which succeeded commercially and the songs were also well received.His biggest plus is his soft melodious numbers that he dishes out with ease.

Upcoming albums:

Vidyasagar’s upcoming albums are K.Balachander’s Poi, Karu.Palaniappan’s Sivapathigaram. and Radha Mohan’s Mozhi. Even though Poi’s audio has failed to attract interest, Vidyasagar is expected to hit back with Sivapathigaram (His earlier association with Karu.Palaniappan in Parthiban Kanavu was a success) and Mozhi.

YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA

Yuvan was a revelation right from his first flick, Aravindan.He boasts an excellent track record and his combination with young directors like Selvaraghavan, Vishnuvardhan and Simbhu have been huge successes.He can be proud of his recent form with musical hits in Puthupettai & Vallavan and commercial hits with Sandaikozhi,Pattiyal and Thimiru.His pluses are his fast numbers,haunting melodies and excellent re-recording.His minus is his affliction for remixes which tend to get repetitive.

[i]Upcoming albums:

Yuvan has his hands full with several albums slated to hit the marquee in the coming days.These include Jeyam Ravi’s Deepavali, Jeeva’s Thamizh MA, Dhanush’s Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram, and Vishal’s Thamirabarani.Yuvan’s Paruthiveeran released recently and his folk songs seem to have won favour with music buffs.

2.HARRIS JAYARAJ

Harris burst into the music scene with Minnale.He followed it up with hits like 12B,Leysa Leysa,Kaakha Kaakha and Chellamae.His recent form is inimitable with a string of successes in Ullam Ketkume, Anniyan, Ghajini, and the most recent Vettayadu Vilaiyadu.All these movies were big box office hits and Harris's songs topped the music charts.Harris's combination with Gowtham Menon has produced his best numbers.His biggest plus is his ease with most styles of music-Classical,Western or melody.

Upcoming albums:

Harris Jayaraj could do no wrong in his current form and his upcoming albums spell success even before their release.He joins hands with his pal Gowtham Menon again for Pachaikili Muthucharam, followed by Director Jeeva’s Unnale Unnale ( the duo clicked earlier in 12B and Ullam Ketkume ) and Lingusamy’s Bheema. He is expected to be the composer for Gowtham Menon’s Surya starrer ‘’Udal Porul Aavi’’ as well.With such a line up, Harris’s flag is set to fly higher than ever.

1.A.R.Rahman

A.R.Rahman is no longer confined to the Tamil music space.He is a big brand name in Bollywood and has also ventured into Western theater with his ‘’The Lord of the Rings’’ rendition.His recent form is mediocre by his standards, with Anbae Aruyire,Sillunnu Oru Kadhal and Varalaaru.All these albums had flashes of brilliance but didnt succeed as expected.But A.R.R retains his top spot because his albums generate the kind of hype and expectation that is on a league of its own.He still commands the highest compensation among composers and his audio rights still remain the most expensive.He is the most sought after music director for top directors like Shankar, Maniratnam and K.S.Ravikumar.

Upcoming albums:

Rahman is very choosy about his projects.He has only 2 upcoming releases, but both these projects would make it to the wish list of any other composer in Kollywood. He kicks off 2007 with Superstar Rajinikanth’s Sivaji, followed by Vijay’s Azhagiya Tamizh Magan. Rahman’s combination with Shankar always creates magic and with Superstar joining the party, we can expect nothing short of fireworks in the coming year.

Exactly!

Ilayaraja had been a KING for more than 20 years .Nowadays when music directors need 6 months to to one movie (that too mostly repeat and copy) ,those days ,when 10 movies release on Deepavali days atleast 7 were music by IR ,irrespective of the success of the movie ,his music never fails..He maintained quality with such huge quantity ...Incomparable IsaiGnani

From: Hulkster on Fri Nov 17 11:45:22 2006. [Full View]

When you consider the fact he has composed so many movies with so many quality songs it sounds ordinary. But when you think when masterclass songs like Ilaya Nila only took 1 hour plus to finish you just wonder whether he is some sort of reincarnation of Bach....amazing speed and amazing quality to match with it. And when you reconsider the complicated notations in thiruvasagam and to find out they were composed in 12 days while his symphony took 3 months....its just unbelievable..

To me my all time favourite would remain AR Rahman... Ilaiyaraja's music attracts me but not as much as that of ARR's coz i feel ARR has much more vareity than IR and my taste i so

But in modern times... HARRIS is best... especially his youthful numbers are incomparable even with ARR's... but Harris seems to be somewhat repetitive unlike ARR who produces distinct albums...

I am eagerly waiting for his new album JULY KAATRIL [ re-titled as UNALE UNALE ] with director Jeeva of 12 B and Ullam ketkume... hope he will recreate the magic again

joe and other IRish guys - for a lay man like me, its the sound which we understand and not tunes/orchestration/arrangements/ludes.......on basis of sound, ARR surely has more variety than IR......ARR has bought out the central asian sounds and look at the knowledge this guy has on Hindustani music,qawalis, North Indian folk music.....it will put a pucca North Indian to shame......

i'm not knowledgable enuf to comment abt IR's variety but for me "yedho yedho ennam(punnagai mannan)" and "Kalyana maalai(PPA)" were the same genre on basis of sound......cos both had the same table base, similar vocals.......but until my father pointed out the WCM ludes in Kalyana Maalai, i thot they were the same songs and hence i can conclude that IR is pretty monotonous.......

hope you got my point......

From: Nakeeran on Sat Nov 18 4:55:01 2006.

I always feel like one music director who is really underrated and not given due place,he is KV MahaDevan..

Most of his movies,mostly people mistaken as it is done by MSV..

Eg: Thiilana Mohanambal ,Thiruvilayadal Thumbs Up!

KV mahadevan did many MGR movies,people took it as MSV Embarassed

Joe sir

KVM and MSV followed different composing styles . Wonder how did u conclude like this !

And noone got confused on Thillana or Thiruvilayadal caz they were typical KVM style compos. So where lies the confusion ?

Let me clarify futher - Listen to MGR songs composed by KVM and MSV. Both are different styles.

Even the orchestration was diff. between the 2

But someone who can be called the king of western orchestration and king of rerecording, its ISAINYANI IMHO

When it comes to fusion, its Isaipuyal ARR

From: Nakeeran on Sat Nov 18 4:57:05 2006.

joe and other IRish guys - for a lay man like me, its the sound which we understand and not tunes/orchestration/arrangements/ludes.......on basis of sound, ARR surely has more variety than IR......ARR has bought out the central asian sounds and look at the knowledge this guy has on Hindustani music,qawalis, North Indian folk music.....it will put a pucca North Indian to shame......

Hi Maddy,

His music is state of the art !

nakeeran,
I am not talking about people like you who has genuine interest in old songs and lyrics,but about common people..

My point is KVM as MD and Vaali as Lyricist were taken for granted.

I am sure still majority of the people beleive "Tharai mel pirakka vaiththan" ,"Aththai madi meththaiyadi" ,"Maathavi pon mayilal thogai virithaL" should be written by Kannadasan ,instead of Vaali in reality.

Same way KVM many works taken for granted and many people think it is done by MSV by default.

DEVA is certainly not worthless ... He had his own audience, and I believe he's still composing, though not as popular as he was in the 90s ... And YES, he is the KING of Kuthu ... No doubt !!

From: Hulkster on Sun Nov 19 0:44:23 2006.

i feel ARR has much more vareity than IR

IR's songs almost have same kind of "something" ... that may be instrumentation or tune or raagam or whatever... i dont like him except for a few albums...

Imagine IR scoring For BOYS , SOK , JEANS, Laughing

ARR rulez... but still i like HARRIS Wink

IR has scored movie sountracks like that of SOK,JEANS.

Movies like boys did not come out at that time unless you consider paneer pushpangal as close to that.

Perhaps your not wrong when you say you prefer ARR style as he is more in synth with youth and mixes it well with contemporary music but when you consider IR's experimentations in various genres and his sole conquering of WCM and its techniques(folk as well) ARR pales slightly but then again ARR is totally different from IR except for their composing techniques. ARR prefers keyboard while IR prefers orchestra...as simple as that.

Aandavar ARR is no chinna paiyal

...he is well aware of classical music and he knows how to fuse them...like i said he is diff from IR. but i always love IR...

G V Prakash is rising up fast

IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 24, 2006]

G V Prakash, the young music composer, is the latest sensation in Kollywood. Nephew of A R Rehman, G V Prakash's tunes in Veyyil have caught everyone with awe.

Director Shankar, heaping appreciation on the young lad for his excellent work, said he is sure to go places and establish a name for himself.

Prakash has come up with six songs in Veyyil, which are quite different from each other.

The audio is already a big hit in Tamil Nadu. Also the audio of Veyyil's Telugu version was out in Andhra Pradesh recently and it is creating waves there.

As a result G V Prakash is now flooded with offers. He has accepted to work in nearly a half-a-dozen movies including Ajith's Kireedom to be produced by Suresh Balaji Films.

Currently hearing SIVAJI non stop, literally. morning i wake up, take a shower and put my ipods in my ears and it lasts till i go to school. after school i put my ipods in and stop when i get home. while i eat after school, i put it on my cd player in my living room. after i eat i put it on my computer while i do homework and it stays on till the next morning. only thing is i reduce the volume otherwise mom will kill me btw i love vidyasagar's melodies too, just melodies and it stops there. IR, i didnt grow up with his music but judging from the people that did, he is another ARR. YSR, HJ are just gap fillers for me from ARR to ARR album, but most of the time ARR's old evergreen albums do this job too.

ya hulkster u r right, thats what i meant. i am also shocked that IR created some 56 albums in one year , thats a lot. guessing IR fans had an amazing time in those days. i mean, one rahman album for us fans is enormous, but IR fans enjoyed ~56 albums per year, wow!

Thineshan although ARR is still ruling now...because of the time he takes to perfect his albums..competitors like YSR and HJ used to fill in the gap although their quality is not up there with ARR...with IR there was no competition..he would just grab any movie and give music for it atleast producing one or two hits songs per movie...so tremendous was his impact that he really ruled TFM and till now nobody has managed to repeat that sort of streak

Omgoodness hulkster, i wish it happens with Rahman! Well, at one point it did. When i was really young, i used to hear chikku bukku, kathalan songs and many more everywhere i go. I didnt know who the MD was for the songs but it made me stand and pay attention to it right away. Now, when i hear those songs that filled my childhood, i can picture what i was doing when i first heard the songs. Brings me so many memories. One such memory was when i went on a tour of tamil nadu (like famous temples, ootty etc). Jeans songs just released and the driver that took us on the trip bought the cassette and for the whole journey we were listening to that since it was just jeans songs on sides A and B. now everytime i hear these songs i feel like going on the same tour, its amazing. Although, he creates only few albums, it makes such an impact on me.
Astonishingly, I became a fan of rahman only in 2004 -- thats when i found out there was a non-stop music channel in raaga. there r channels for all MDs and all actors etc where the music associated with them would be played non-stop. one night when i was sleeping, i put on rahman's channel and thats when i heard so many songs that reminded me of my childhood. Everysingle song, when i was young, i heard before and loved but didnt know who the MD was -- i didnt need to, it was good music and thats enough. When i found out from raaga that all my favourite songs were from AR rahman, I was very curious as to where the stream of heavenly music comes from and so I began to read biographies, found out about this hub, yahoo fanclubs and here i am posting -- i was really curious as to where this stream of heavenly music comes from. Having great fun with SIVAJI. God bless him!

Consider tamil movies:

----Nayantaara has co-starred with Super star, next (so called) super star, little super star, supreme star, ultimate star, etc (Surya, Rajini, Ajith, Vijay, Simbu, Sarath.....)

----But Aishwarya rai has acted only with mohanlal and mammooty(not major stars in TN), abbas and prasanth(flop stars).

----Nayantara has been a part of many hits and blockbusters like CM(record breaking blockbuster), Ayya, Sivakasi, Vallavan, Gajini, etc in her short career so far.

----But Aish managed just one blockbuster (jeans), one super hit(kandukonden * 2) and one utter flop (Iruvar) in the last 10 years.

----Nayantaara has acted in more tamil movies and more popular among tamil audience

Based on the above facts if one concludes that Nayantaara is overall better than Aish then he wud also conclude IR is better than ARR.

Listened to "YANNI's Nightingale" ! To be precise, I don't have much music knowledge.

When I listened to this, I felt like getting drenched in the musical rain. The Chinese Flute + Violin + Keyboard combo creates the magic here.

wowww.... What a Feel ? I think few people (like me) judge the talent by merely looking at the TFM world and thereby remaining as perfect "KInathu ThalavalaigaL". Outside there is much more.

I really donno whether our music directors have given music like this. But we should blame the TF world for restricting them to the FILM MUSIC WORLD alone !

selva.....many interludes of ilayaraja gives that effect!

in hey raam..the prelude before "nee paartha" also have that effect!

5. inspirational songs
6. kuthhu songs
7. gaana songs etc etc....

It can't be generalised. For e.g., I still believe that Saroja Devi, Kajol etc are better than the current crop of actresses

BTW, I heard from one of my friends taht IR is 10 times talented than ARR. I told him that DEVA is 1000 times better than these two

With Vyaabaari, DEVA has proved that he is the NEXT A.R.RAHMAAN

Yanni's Nightingale is really too gud. The assortment of instruments that he uses.. they way they merge into each other, it kinda paints a beautiful scene in a forest. Great feeling... u feel like u are amidst great happiness. Beautiful visual imagery with just music.

Well, in TFM some songs gives me the same effect. Prelude to "pudhu vellai mazhai" from Roja

Selva...

not only do u get a visual imagery .. u can even feel the chillness of himalayan mountains. Awesome :2tthumbsup:

The prelude to IR's song "oru kiliyin thanimaiyile" ... eventhough it is very short ... wow ... wat a feel!!! same piano... and wonderful basslines ... and he scripts an emotion so joyous and belligerent that it carries throughout the song. I feel it is similar to yanni's composition

I dont think yuvan can reach the heights that ARR or IR have reached. IR's,ARR's music were different altogether. But ppl like HJ and Yuvan follow the same style of ARR.

That is pretty much expected. I will certainly respect someone who have already done enough things and have accomplished a lot, irrespective of their talent, limitations, short-comings etc

Coming to the point : Many of u people are forcing me to bash MSV time and again

MY Point is he is not as versatile as others and that is not his mistake as well. He gave music to his generation people. He was limited to a circle. Apart from that

I do have listened to the works of MSV. As an elder person who gave many good songs, I still respect him.

To prove him, "IR and ARR is not required - TN people are enough"

Someo of Newton's theories were clearly disproved by Einstein. That is how "Growth and New Things" will come in. We should embrace such things and should accept that someone started it while others surpassed them

Having said that, MSV must have set it > IR followed it up and exploring everything and proving his uniqueness in village songs > ARR following it up and reaching different set of audience.

For others who have no idea about G.Ramanathan ,he was the MD of VeeraPandiya kattabomman ,for which He won best music director award at Cairo asian african film festival ,along with NT who won best actor award.

Another great MD was ,Subbaih Naidu ,who was the MD of Nadodi Mannan.

Apart from these ,most of the people always forget another great MD ,none other than KV Mahadevan ,who has done many MGR and NT movies ,which were mostly mistaken as done by MSV.

i dunno much abt G.Ramanathan but i think it was MSV-TKR who broke the carnatic music trend in tamil and bought in lite music which i feel is like "invention of 0" in computer world.......i rate this trend bought in by MSV-TKR a tad above IR's symphonisation of tamil folk and digitalisation/globalisation of tamil by ARRahman.....

btw, i've posted this many times but once more

Apart from these ,most of the people always forget another great MD ,none other than KV Mahadevan ,who has done many MGR and NT movies ,which were mostly mistaken as done by MSV.

One more reason is KVM is mostly known as Telugu MD (though he is a Tamil) .He did more telugu movies including famous sankarabaranam.

Just 2 'small' examples: "Vikram" - A totally funky rap song when rap was virtually unknown in India (even before M.C Hammer made it big in the USA!!!)

In the same movie, "Yen jodi manja kuruvi" - Brilliant adaptation of Harry Belafonte's "Hava Nagila" (traditional Jewish song), the song that you hear in Mozhi when Prakash Raj's towel kazhandufies.

The best part is, being ahead of time and fusing global sounds is one thing, making those 'timeless' is where IR's genius lies.

Top that, i say!

frankly speaking, there is nothing much that hasn't been attempted in the past. everything is just improvisation.

for people like me, MSV is the all time best and everyone else including IR and ARR comes next.
for the 80s generation IR will be the best, while for the present generation, it would be ARR.

it all boils down to which music one got exposed to most. each of us can speak and make representations and justifications on our opinions.

3. KK - oru ooril song has major english lyrics and not to forget the "kannum kannum nokia" which also had lots of english lyrics.....

Maddy, I think you are missing my point here. I was referring to the impact of heavy music on the soft lyrics. IF I hear a song, I should be able to follow the lyrics. Whether they are good or bad, that is a diff one altogether. If a NI singer or anyone else with bad pronunciation sings in tamil, I can atleast adjust with that. Certainly, I wouldn't like it. I am referring to the care provided by the respective MDs for the lyrics. Many popular TFM MDs make sure that their MUSIC will be clearly visible to the listener if not the beautiful lyrics of the poets. Wink

AFAIK, (based on the songs of HJ I have listened to), he ensures that the listeners will be able to follow the lyrics. IF it is in english, let it be.. I won't agree with the gang which says there should not be any english words in tamil ( ROTFL

) !~

My point is : Impact of music on the lyrics. The beauty of the old songs is that : we will be able to understand the lyrics, the philosophical meaning that they convey, the messages within them etc ! NOwadays, even if I hear some songs 1000 times, I am unable to understand the lyrics.

( Directors having understood this one have already started distributing lyrics booklets along with the CDs, cassettes or whatever Mr. Green

2) "Complete songs" ( with adequate attention to lyrics and music 50 - 50)

I don't like the cross in which I will neither be able to follow up the lyrics nor the music !! ROTFL

AM Raja is better known as a singer than as a MD. Even as a singer he was known to be difficult which eventually led to his downfall.

His first film as MD was Sridhar's Kalyana Parisu. A few others were Then Nilavu, Aadi Perukku, Vidivelli and Anbukkoru Anni.

I agree with Maddy. The moment I landed in Bangalore - I missed one thing in FMs and in the surrounding environment. That's is tamil songs What all I heard was "uhhhhh Surrooor" more than 10times a days in the FMs and ALMOST ALL THE SONGS OF ARR getting played

and
Numbers in RDB getting repeated 100 times a day ! At one point of time, I went MAD when I saw the entire office hearing "New York nagarm" and "Munbae vaa" (that includes Kannadigaas, telugu people, northies (90%) etc) parallely playing Loose control, Rang de basati, etc stuffs !

and then I went to watch RDB in Kaveri theatre. (thanks to siva ) ! when I listened to the whistles when ARR name was shown on the screen, I realised his "Reach". It was a shcok and surprise for me

-------
and one more thing is : Many people still believe that most f the TN people are IR fans. I strongly disgree. As I said, I may sound as an odd one. I love IR songs. But like everyone - like how NOV put, I grew up in a period which was dominated with DEVA melodies, Kuthus etc and ARR giving things like "Take it easy oorvasi" kind of stuffs. Enakku ellaraiyum pidiukkum. I do hate certain things in few MDs.

When U1 arrived with TI, I was really impressed with his work. when KK got released, I was crazy esp with "Devathayai kandaen" ! when he gave "Ninaithu Ninaithu" I went mad. But as I said, for me -

"Entha vennai music pottaalum, kavalai illa" (sorry if it sounds rude)

I like U1 in the current crop of MDs. That doesn't mean I will praise him from heaven to hell. when I watched him repeating 7G BGM PIECE IN Deepavali ( ) and Thamirabharani I felt

Maddy,
You can check my very first post in this thread if u need more ! Wink

Quote:

but i have my reservations on the plaigarism that is on display here......u wanna pick the lyrics of a particular MD's songs and u wanna pick on "chewing" issue on that same MD and many are following that.......why are u not pointing fingers at others who are doing the same thing,( infact can be ssaid that they are following the first one??? Banging Head ) yen avaraukku "important" deepavali padam release edhavaadhu release aagapogudha, which u cant oppose??? Wink

Check out this one !

Infact, I bashed U1 for the way he handles the singers oflate. ( seems someone's effect is still there in him Wink

who is certainly not his father Wink

Quote:

The way you handle young playback singers is sometimes irritating. MadhuSree's voice in "Kannan Varum Neram" is Banging Head

"enna aaeelaaaaaguuuuu" "Renduuu viliiigalll"

Now, I hope u will understand my stand. if U checkout my review on chennai 28, I mentioned "Un paarvai pattaal" and "Yaaro" as my favorites. Not "saroja saaman nikaalo" and "jalsa" though I like them Cool

From: selvakumar on Tue Apr 10 11:39:15 2007.

That is the basic tamilian tendency. For many years, I thought "Kilakku Seemaiyilae" was by IR and "Raasayya" was by "Arr"

The reason why I quoted that was : Ellarukku oru MASTER STROKE appadinnu onnu irukkum and plus we need to do something what others have not done ! In that way only, we can break a trend / ur opponent's neck.

IF someone utters DEVA, for many "his Gaana songs" will come to their find forgetting all his melodies.

How poor your awareness at that time

, i think you were kid

Raasayya had bavadarinis debutant number "Mastana Mastana" which was a huge hit and it had created an expectation due to first IR + Prabu deva combination (believe Prabu deva's was very popular and his "Indu" had opened very very well at that time even better than Rajni's veera)

Kizhakku seemaiyilae too was expected a lot as first ARR+BR combination and almost all the songs were very popular including the most famous "Maanuthu manthaiyilae"

When coming to Deva, we can split him as two

one is with-IR and second is after-ARR

when he was in first portion, he was not so famous, in-fact his songs were re-cycled version of IR tunes/music. Everybody treating (or hating) him as a xerox machine.

After ARR showed a way to beat IR, Deva picked up with westernised form (lifting music from western side) and gave very famous hits like Aasai, Neerukku neer, Batsha, Annamalai (Inspiration - IR songs), Vaali. And he became one of successful MD.

Even crop MDs like Sirpi, SAR had given huge hits (Ullathai allitha thool kilapichu) after ARR. I mean ARR opened a way.

IR is a complete musician, no one can beat him

1) Natural songs (mannin isai) - no comments
2) Wester classic - noway to near him
3) Indian classic / karnatic - i think only KVM can equal him, others?
4) Light music - only MSV can equal (or beat?) him
5) Experimentation - only ARR is near to him
6) Melting music - no comments (listen to nee partha of hey ram)
7) BGM area - who will equivalent him? (yuvan is improving)

From: Sanjeevi on Tue Apr 10 14:24:50 2007.

I mean...

ARR introduced a new form of music to TN (ofcourse to India) and we know it was succesfull. But it boosted to somebody that they went wrong way (kurukku wazhi) like Deva, Sirpi, etc (even vidyasagar, he copied arabic musics a lot) by direct lifting western, arabic and other music

I didn't say ARR copied but other copied a lot after ARR success

ok, i got it.

Well said. Except a slight variation, IR can never be beaten or was beaten, if it means someone became more famous and sold records then its flawed to say the least.

IR's music is eternal while in few more years, almost every kid(music director) can compose the way ARR does(mixing). Then the same people will study IR's interludes and see how he could use his Violin and bass guitar to heavenly proportions. The sense of nostalgia vibrates through your mind and the sensation is unparalleled.

Like what Sanjeevi said, I most definitely agree about IR's exemplary Western Classical music (WCM) and Classic/Carnatic fusion. The experimentation he has done, can never be equaled. Some of the younger gen lads are ignorant about Maestro, so it's of no use talking to them. They should experience that for themselves and realize what we're talking about.

Actually I listen to ARR too. But I think Maestro is undeniably the best of all Music directors we've ever had.

When coming to Deva, we can split him as two Cool

Minnale, 12B, Kaadhal Konden, Ghajini, 7G Rainbow COlony, Pattiyal, Arindum Ariyamalum, Manmadan, VV, etc

Thats bcoz these movies were commercially hit and hence the songs became hit later. i am not under estimating the potential of HJ or YSR but the truth is that some exceptional works of ARR like Boys and KKS went in vain bcoz of the BO failure of the movies. Just imagine ARR signing movies with Selvaraghavan or Gautham. He wud shatter all the records in no time.

See the impact that Sivaji audio is making right now. Of course the movie has names like Rajinikanth and Shankar. but did Chandramukhi or Anniyan had the same reception among the audience as that of Sivaji?

ARR didnt choose the right script for him to compose music. Thats the only thing that has made YSR or HJ to look better. If ARR rectifies that, then sky is the limit...

From: lavanya22rit on Wed Apr 11 2:31:21 2007.

If others have started to make more impact than ARR then:

1. their remuneration shud have become more than ARR
2. bigger projects should have gone to them instead of ARR
3. they should have become a better choice for popular directors and producers ahead of ARR
4. they should have reached a wider audience than ARR
5. one of them should have scored music for sivaji and broken all audio records instead of ARR

but none of the above mentioned happened till now.

FYKI....ARR inflicted ALL the above mentioned BLOWS to IR with just ONE album in 1992.

i think ARR is a good luck charm to us IR fans if not IR would not have done the symphony, the india 24 hours album, thiruvaasagam and still stuck with TFM...and by the time ARR came IR had sort of finished with contemporary film music..there was nothing else for him to prove except his dream idea of WCM non-filmi albums and symphony

Comparing ARR to IR, is like comparing Chopin(Frederic) to Mozart. And that's a big compliment to ARR.

Tilak,

Chopin kind of idolized Mozart and based his music on Mozart's style. Is it true in the case of ARR and IR ???

I would say ARR is more popular in NI than IR . Its a fact .
The range of music ARR gave through Roja / Rangeela especially captivated the northies & honestly IR has not penetrated with any such hit till date.
One should accept this fact wholeheartedly . It doesnt mean that Ir is inferior . ARR has taken tamil ( Indian ) music to new direction . True true.

From: smith on Wed Apr 11 7:19:56 2007. [Full View]

It is not the range of music. Roja was released in hindi & also it happened to be a maniratnam's film.

That helped ARR get a foothold there.

Subsequently he became famous bcos he did many hindi films.

IR was too busy to commit himself to hindi films. He did do few music films but those tunes were largely taken from his tamil fims.

If ARR too had confined himself only to south films, he would not have become this popular.

It has nothing to do with new direction, range etc., these are just flowery words, that's all.

Lavanya,

"comparing ARR with IR is like comparing the president of a country with a governor of a state"

When you can metaphor Music using 'popularity' as a criteria and worst of all, with something highly objective/non sequitur like above. I Couldn't stop laughing. When you can say something based on their 'name' being known in different parts of the country, that is entirely different or flawed. Eminem is known all around the world, 2pac was known only in USA. Does that make 2pac lesser than Eminem? Or no one knows Ennio morricone but people know James horner..does that make James horner great? Or, Horner's music is popular amongst people and reached different people..Does that make him 'BETTER'? How many of them getting ARR's albums know about Mozart? Besides your ideas sounds little absurd. 'President' and 'Governor'..YKSI

"Chopin kind of idolized Mozart and based his music on Mozart's style. Is it true in the case of ARR and IR"

Oh yeah, Chopin DID idolize Mozart. And yes, he drew inspiration from Mozart. In that case, I can argue about ARR learning the trade being a piano player under IR. Can I say something along the likes of, ARR got inspired by IR and then he went to improvise with mixing and audio engineering. Come on.. My metaphor was subjective to the way "Music" composition is hold/rated in high regards amongst people, that example was to say, someone might have died without any fame..only after centuries (not just decades) people understand their greatness. I predict the same thing will happen with IR. In this case, there are majority of people who actually rate IR great. Just wait and see, how it's going to increase in proportion.

BTW with that example, I complimented ARR because he improvised the composition focusing more on instrumental and Acoustical engineering. When to use what..how to compile the prelude, interlude and postlude to lure the audience into it and the way the juxtaposition of different sounds should work and sound to different people. Yeah, in that case. I do agree..he was successful.

Now who defines this "Greatness" or What measures "Greatness"?

From: thilak4life on Wed Apr 11 7:39:25 2007. [Full View]

(continued)

I never said, ARR is trash. I never do that. I never choke down my values through people's throat.

First of all, opinions itself differs among people. Why is that? Is it because of different 'self'.

there is nothing called 'self', we all wear that facade for others, this 'self' is shaped by cultural, racial, economical, lingual (in turn, Semantical), regional(environmental), etc, almost everything external to you (right from your birth as you grow up).

Our genes just determine our physical attributes and it contains few other traits. Your tolerance level to different things, might be decided by these genes but it�s the other social factors that ultimately decides, both decreasing and overpowering the tolerance level and in turn, the reactions to different things. Again that depends on how you are exposed to these factors through people you meet (from parents, friends to strangers) throughout your lifetime.

This 'self', is a social construct ascribed to fit the margins better (even this margin and the �attuned� comfort zone, is based on the above-said influences).

Sometimes, we live denial to like certain things. For example, I might find �Fountainhead�, boring, uninteresting, and pretentious piece-of-**** but it is valued to be the best-written work. Consequently, I immediately jump into the bandwagon of double standards and call it great!

Same way, I feel each person�s favorite music, books, movies, dress (style, color and make), even friends (And enemies), life-partner, are determined by �external factors�!

So In your case (or very other case), liking something 'more' is something thats not because of 'your' judgment alone. Because there is no 'you'.

Now you guys can decipher what I said. I have nothing against ARR. But the way, this external factors has programmed 'me', I measure 'greatness' from the way the products (music, movies and books) 'affects' , 'amazes' or 'bewilders' me. I wouldn't blame you, if you rate ARR high. But please, don't go around claiming he is the best. Think again!

What did I justify? All I said was, IR's pattern of music works with me. I rate him high. Please scroll your mouse a little up and read my posts. I never said something like, they can never be compared. Lesser mortals compare and kill their time doing it. Sometimes, they enjoy and derive pleasure doing it. Even I am one among them.

"Even i can blindly justify , as you did, that IR and ARR can never be compared because audible medium cannot be compared"

Would you throw some light on this issue? I said, our tastes are built on exposure. That doesn't blindfold you from making a comparison. I said, opinions/tastes like 'ARR is the best' or 'IR is the best' are constructed by the external factors more than you per se. It's not something you choose. It's something that just happened.

"Kamal and Sivaji can be because same kind of stories or with little difference are being made with some changes that too in same format!! Would you accept it?"

I would accept that people compare them both. I would however take a broader look and say KH is better because of the naivety in the storyline in those olden days. The dramatic-opera kind of stage performances from Sivaji pales in comparison. Music on the other hand, is very different.

"Being logical is different from sounding to be logical!"
May I know the subtlety of that statement. My neurons fail to burn up what you meant to say. If you tried to be sarcastic, well it fails to cause an effect. Maybe I lack intellectual sarcasm and sense of humor that you have. It sounds rhetorical to me.

Overall, I can make out that you're comparing artists from different generations in Films and music. Come on, It makes all the difference! Music is eternal, it doesn't have a storyline, it doesn't need a cast, it doesn't need images, doesn't have to cater to a particular generation and what not.

The way you look at both the cases are different. The comparisons themselves doesn't sound illogical. But to draw similarities or metaphors between the two comparisons does.

Does he have the reach of ARR ??

Before ARR reached the global audience...IR already took the western world by storm with his HTNI and NBW and then his symphony...if not why should a westerner call IR to record india 24 hours album instead of ARR in 1996?..or that he was called up to do the music for india hosting the miss world paegantry? And to cap it all off his thiruvasagam was done with his close friend laslo kovacs, stephen schwartz whose pocahontas lyrics won him an academy award and richard king whose mixing is world famous...even the angelica festival where IR went and showed indian music was a result of a request of the italian organiser who loved IR's style of music alot....and he has recognition in US as he has received his doctorate there as well.

IR may not have a NI reach..but his songs have been copied over and made some copycat MDs famous there....they can appreciate songs copied from IR into hindi but not the original composer...certainly hypocritical audience they have there...but i am happy that they recognised ARR and i must admit he did not adamantly stick to his own style of musicmaking and tried to make it all-appreciative to get the NI's hearts while IR would not sacrifice his style just to please NI audience.

No offense to ARR but he got through from tamil to hindi and then to global...IR without too much media publicity went from tamil and straight to global...that shows how recognised his talent is....

Lets all end it off that IR and ARR are two gems we have....both have made it internationally and made india proud...in fact after all these years if you compare IR with ARR...IR is only better than ARR in the fact that his BGM can make the film talk and they really elevate the film...other than that both cannot be compared too much.

FYI, ARR's style of music has never been different in north......infact, he composed for a very few direct hindi movies in 90's......all others were "dubbed" from tamil........also, his direct hindi movies carried a lot of songs with a southie or a tamil feel......ex: yaaro sun lo sara (rangeela), mere sare suro me(kabhi na kabhi), shabba shabba(daud) are some of examples which comes to my mind now which were predominantly southie sounds.....its just that he mastered Hindustani music and other north indian folk types and gave their music better than their own people......wich i still consider ARR's biggest achievement.......synchronising ur work to multi-cultural tastes is no joke buddy........

he never bent for anyone or anything......when u have talent of that magnitude, u neednt........

......

also, i dont get one thing......WCM (some english style music) -a panna great-nnu sollareenga, aana namma Indian folk types music potta "bending" nnu sollareenga......idhu enna hypocrisy???

From: thimuru on Thu Apr 12 3:41:47 2007.

absolutely!...but when he does tamil songs he must change his style!nowadays in his tamil songs ...there is so much north indian smell...do u disagree?

he never bent for anyone or anything......when u have talent of that magnitude, u neednt........ Very Happy

he never bent for anyone or anything......when u have talent of that magnitude, u neednt........ Very Happy

......

Thats what i meant...ARR's unique style of musicmaking is of the electronica genre where keyboard and sounds are predominant and quite new-age style of orchestration...as he started becoming more recognised he changed that style abit in hindustani adding hindustani flavour...but i am happy to note that besides him the rest in HFM are just adopting his style and giving techno music with some rhythms here and there.

As for IR he even has done songs with hindustani flavour..the problem is that they dunt seem catchy to the hindustani audience despite his songs having counterpoints and fusions...i still am trying to fathom how his fusion of WCM and world music(he is a whiz at guitar) still does not get to NI audience...i guess popularity is the word here rather than quality(not referring to ARR..i mean the NI audience taste)

From: MADDY on Thu Apr 12 3:53:29 2007. [Full View]

aw come on hulk........adding a hindustani flavor to his touch was out of his penchant to bring in new sounds and not to please northies.......and tell me, do u expect a "indha maan, endhaan sondha maan" in place of tere bina in Guru?? it wont gel dude......

and u r wrong abt HFM.......its taken by storm by Himesh and he has totally changed it into "disco" mode now......ARR is now just a relief from the noise.....

nilavu, shivaji is a good answer to ur question......athiradee,style,balleilakka,sahana are not northie stuff......vaa ji vaa ji is but comeon even raaja sir has given dil bar jaane....

Anything above Hyderabad is not north.......u tell a mumbaiite that he is a north indian, he'll die of shame.... .......u tell a bengali that he is norht, then he'll kick ur ..........India is divided into these major groups (in terms of bollywood's reach)

1. Mumbai/Gujarat (headquarters)
2. Delhi,punjab,haryana
3. UP,bihar
4. Kolkatta
5. Rajasthan/MP/chattisgarh
6. orissa with hyderabad(hindi speaking/hindi watchin)...

now tell me whom did ARR please out of them??

IR may not have a NI reach..but his songs have been copied over and made some copycat MDs famous there....they can appreciate songs copied from IR into hindi but not the original composer...certainly hypocritical audience they have there...

Good...blame the audience when ur favourite is not good enough to attract them with his music. Can u pls explain why the "hypocritical audience" appreciate ARR ????

Thats where ARR stands out from the rest....he didn confine himself to any fixed STYLE and churn out the same thing again and again.......IR just refused or may be not good enough to come out of his circle

No offense to ARR but he got through from tamil to hindi and then to global...IR without too much media publicity went from tamil and straight to global...that shows how recognised his talent is... Very Happy

IR never went "straight to global"...but "straight to home" after the storm which hit him in 1992

�Inside Man� featuring Denzel Washington had A.R. Rahman�s Chaiyya Chaiyya as the score for the opening and ending credits.

The songs being considered for an Oscar in Original Song Category have been released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and three of A.R. Rahman�s songs feature in the list.

A.R. Rahman�s 3 songs have made it to the list of songs being considered�Chun, Chun� (Water), Khalbali and Luka Chuppi (Rang De Basanti)

He has also worked and performed with internationally reputed artists such as Apache Indian, David Byrne, Michael Jackson and with Andrew Webber Lloyd for his album 'Bombay Dreams'.

Andrew Lloyd Webber, a well known composer of musicals, was impressed with Rahman's unique style and therefore hired him to compose his maiden stage production Bombay Dreams (2002). This play was well received in England. Furthermore, Rahman, along with the Finnish folk music band V�rttin�, composed the music for The Lord of the Rings theatre production, which opened in Toronto on March 23, 2006.

His first movie album Roja was listed in TIME magazine's "Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time".

In addition to influencing western audiences, Rahman also impressed eastern audiences with his music so much that he was tapped by Chinese director He Ping to compose the score and soundtrack for the Chinese film Warriors of Heaven and Earth in 2003. The music of this film was very much appreciated in Asia and in India.

On May 23rd 2006, a two-disc album soundtrack, titled Introducing A. R. Rahman, was released by Times Square Records, featuring 25 songs he composed from Tamil film soundtracks spanning 1993-2001. The compilation soundtrack was well received. In addition to this, Rahman performed at the Hollywood Bowl amphitheatre in July of 2006, with Indian singers Sukhwinder Singh, Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam, as well as American performing groups Raagapella and Global Rhythms, to a sell out crowd.

A. R. Rahman has been nominated for the following awards:

Laurence Olivier Awards (UK)

2003 - Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best New Musical - Bombay Dreams

Dora Mavor Moore Awards (Canada)

2006 - General Theatre Division - Outstanding Musical Direction - The Lord of the Rings musical

So from this can't u see that Illayaraja is great.But for your info I love both Illayraja and ARR but after seeing some of the hubbers who are so ignorant about Illayaraja i have to bring such comparisons

From: nemesis786 on Thu Apr 12 6:51:53 2007.

ARR is India's GLOBAL BRAND EQUITY on music

like the brand Infosys / Tisco/ Titan / Reliance brands.

Kannugallaa lets appreciate this and admire that someone from TN is being admired in a wider perspective.

I havent seen a NATIONAL ALBUM like THAI MANNE VANAKKAM till now from any SI composer.

ARR hats off . Very Happy

has'nt ARR composed melodies for Shanker? ARR too has given soft and melodious numbers.

Jus bcoz he pairs with Shankar and mani, how wud he get gud prices? There r more ppl to add. Rajini's first choice is always ARR these days. kamal opted for ARR for Dasa. But ARR was not available due to tight schedules? How many MDs in India have the guts to reject a kamal Film?

Head Weight factor does'nt have any significance with Music. But just look at the character of the man,Undisturbed in spite of these Oscar nominations, UN Ambassadorship, etc.. That makes ARR great.

It's such a good cliche. Although this question of "being proud" surfaces, does that cloud your judgment over his music? Come on, Do you need hundreds of fans who cried and felt honored seeing IR? I saw people crying in Iron Maiden concert in B'lore. I can name you hundred other such incidents.

FYKI....none of thm have captured the global "audience" yet. Dont give too much HYPE for these instances. IR has never obtained a "market" outside SI. Both were recognized by some specific biggies outside and even ARR is not salable to the global audience yet. But ARR have captured the NI "audience" and has a huge market and now slowly getting a global market too.

Good...blame the audience when ur favourite is not good enough to attract them with his music. Can u pls explain why the "hypocritical audience" appreciate ARR ????

Thats where ARR stands out from the rest....he didn confine himself to any fixed STYLE and churn out the same thing again and again.......IR just refused or may be not good enough to come out of his circle

IR never went "straight to global"...but "straight to home" after the storm which hit him in 1992
Can u pls explain why ARR was given "media publicity" among NI audience for roja ??????????????

Lavanya i appreciate your fanatism for ARR..but dunt let that blind other facts....IR does have global market....he is extremely close to the hungarian philharmonic orchestra led by laslo kovacs,the anglica festival organiser is a great fan of him..he has connections with RoR..a canadian album producer...and not to mention his recognition by WCM experts after the release of his NBW....the reason why IR does not seem to be so "popular" is his refusal to be shown as popular or recognised...in fact the angelica festival organiser had compelled IR to come so many times but only succeeded after IR came to know the money generated from the festival will go to the needy. IR himself has stated thiruvaasagam was for the youth of TN and his attempt at experimenting sacred verses with WCM rather than aiming for awards. And we do not want IR to be a 8-time academy award to prove his greatness.

For the final time when ARR stormed onto the scene..IR had already achieved everything he needed in TFM...and IR was already composing for the symphony and NBW when ARR stormed onto the scene....as i mentioned earlier if he had really been dethroned why did national events in terms of india like indian 24 hours(by a famous english documentary director) and the miss world paegantry call up IR rather than ARR? If people think composing for lord of the rings musical...bombay dreams is global market...then doing symphony and angelica festival is called what?

I blame the audience as hypocritical cause they could not accept IR but they could accept his songs if they are copied into hindi by anu malik,anand milind and co...its certainly hypocritical....rakkama kaiya thattu was copied to hindi by anand milind and became a huge hit but if IR comes and does a album with songs of such magnitude he is rejected immediately...certainly hypocritical.

A request to ARR fans.

For those who do not know anything about IR and deduce that his only style is providing songs with tamil mann flavour and nothing else...do not bring him in...if you still want to bring him in..then your only disgracing yourself and other ARR fans by becoming fanatical at the expense of ignoring a composer's achievements and talent by praising your idol

Moreover, It would be great if ARR fans don't bring in 'popularity' or 'reach' again into this discourse. That has nothing to do with the quality of music.

From an individual point of view, it's fiddling out of context to bring in the emotional element(and take an objective spin) like "How proud you must be?", "Even the northies like it", blah blah blah. It has become corny and carries high impertinence to how you rate their music.

Fact is there is fanaticism on both sides. Pretending that ARR fans alone are fanatics is not going to solve the issue. What is needed is acceptance. From both sides. Until that recognition, this debate will continue. At least until IR fans mature.

p/s I am imagining that IR fans will mature first given that his fans are older.

HJ - Knows how to make use of the keyboard well in his songs and arranges them well...but is extremely repititive and prone to inspirations.

YSR - More adventurous with strong influence of R and B....but certainly has got good musical knowledge.

VS - Veteran MD whose melodies can sometimes be on par with IR's...he is a well rounded MD but needs the correct directors to get the best out of him.

KR - The sad fact is that he has more musical knowledge than YSR but tends to give his best for small banners

Vijay Antony - Unconventional and certainly enterprising...is one to look out for.

Looks like sify aggressively promoting Mozhi nowadays. If my memory serves right, this is what happened couple of weeks before. One week it was put at no.2 spot and declared 'superhit'. The next week it was at no.3 and changed the status to 'Blockbuster' How on earth in one week the status was promoted while the spot was downgraded???

The BEST music director out there is WITHOUT A DOUBT A. R. Rahman. There are no ifs and buts about it!

A. R. Rahman is the ONLY music director out there that delivers time and time again with EVERY SINGLE ALBUM that he does. He's the ONLY music director that uses such diverse ranges and styles of music. He has introduced the general public to such a wide variety of music. He is not afraid to experiment with different sounds for his songs and because of this he has come up with the MOST number of ORIGINAL and UNIQUE compositions.

How many of ARRs songs sound like another MDs song or like any of his previous songs?

Every album that he does has something NEW and INVENTIVE to offer the listener. His ability to mix contemporary and traditional instrumentation and sounds is one of his musics defining features.

A. R. Rahman is also the only MD that has managed to achieve WORLDWIDE FAME. He has brought contemporary Indian music to the world stage. He has composed music for theatre productions in London, America, Canada etc. The Lord of the Rings musical that he has co-composed recently is a fine example of this. Producers of these musicals have identified ARRs immense talent and are using him for their MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR/ POUND productions!

Above all A. R. Rahman is a good human being. Despite all his fame and fortune, he is still very grounded and modest. This only resonates in his music.

A. R. Rahman is a true MODERN DAY ROLE MODEL.

Quote:

Comeon.... Thats too hasty a statement.

There were DEVA, GANGAI AMARAN, SIRPY, K.BHAGYARAJ, T.RAJENDAR, CHANDRABOSE, SHANKAR GANESH, HAMSALEKHA, BALA BHARATI and much more, who did give us quite a number of HITS during late 80!

If IR swept them across, its BECAUSE OF UNDENIABLE talent which he possessed. NOT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ALTERNATIVES.

Quote:

the same holds here. ARR has no alternative !

Strong word again

Displacement was more BECAUSE OR CHANGE in curr gen, than ARR's talent or LACK of equal talent by IR

PPl like us, who tasted prime, in Early 90z did enjoy ARR's initial music.

I WOULD NOT SAY, its as magical as it was in EARLY 90Z

Lavanya,

These IR fans are too implacable to accept the truths and facts. It's these people who have never listened to TAAL or RDB or Bombay Dreams or Pray for me Brother. But they simply accuse us of never listening to IR. IR fans are just like Mozhi's MJ.Baskar. They are just stupors who still haven't come out of the shock that ARR reached the extremum just with his one album and cast IR aside off TFM.

lavanya, ARR is well known all over India but in TN, it is IR.
ARR can't hold a handle to IR.
IR is the best.

Breaking records doesn't tell what is better and what is best.
If my memory serves, many Sivaji movies were record breaking movies in the past, now every year we have record breaking movies but the truth is that we all forget the term inflation.

Did Deva give HITS during 80's ?
IF I am not wrong, his period was during the 90's.

BTW, I don't think the people you list here tried something different and I have seen many IR fans bashing Deva most of the time for his copy works !
That summaries everything and I don't want to hide the bitter truth that his music (Deva's) was indeed received well among the common listener since they never worried about anything except the final output of the songs.

If you take away popularity,mass appeal and everything and compare both musically...in terms of musical knowledge and orchestration/arrangement and experimentation standards IR is the winner...in terms of packaging and innovativeness ARR is the winner...BGM well theres only one MD who really makes sure BGM speaks for the film rather than songs like hollywood and thats IR...while ARR is more focussed on songs and recently he has balanced up with superb BGM.....but IR edges him here.

The only way to know who is better than whom is to give both of them a situation and a orchestra and see how their output comes...till then ARR is best for ARR fans and IR is best for IR fans...alright close the thread

record break panrathu periya kaariyam illae. MGR broke records, and now Rajini breaks records. Some of the present day record breaking movies did not have the reach of some of the older movies. Likewise, many of IRs has given many record breaking albumbs. Time is moving on, the next generation can break records and the heads of their fans. But that is not my definition of GREATNESS. It seems it is yours.

Output :

IR will write everything in paper and execute the same without waiting for the reviews from others. IF the director is MR or anyone else, you will get superb songs. If the director is Cheran, you will get MK !

ARR - this fellow will write his ideas and will seek for the feedback from his peers so that the final output won't be his all the time but a collection of ideas from many !

Very True ! since that was one IR !

(Don't force me to a corner to bash IR dude )

Both IR and ARR have their own set of limitations and style. Both of them need good directors to bring the best out of them when they have almost reached the topmost level of success and when they are confused or undergoing a crisis. Latest MK is the best example on what IR should do ! I admire Bala simply coz of one reason. He knows what to get from IR and he knows a lot about IR ( Sethu album is one good e.g. for this). Similarly ARR too has his share of albums like Parasuraam etc ! Had IR continued what he started off with Sethu, he still would have penetrated into ARR's reign pushing away the likes of Deva etc !

BTW, Don't tell me that time will take the candle from everyone. I do know that very well. Someone who will come in the future will take the candle away from him like how ARR did to IR in 1992 |||ar to what IR did to MSV !

Bala and blah blah. IR is not a mere MD like ARR for a director to draw the best out of. If so Kamal would have drawn the best out of him in mumbai express. IR had a bad film just like any other artist had. IR's music in Bharathi was top class, who was the director? Maybe because IR's magic worked in Sethu, you came to conclusion it was Bala who got the best out of IR. That is not the case dude.

From your posts, I have come to know you HATE cheran.

Quote:

BTW, Don't tell me that time will take the candle from everyone. I do know that very well. Someone who will come in the future will take the candle away from him like how ARR did to IR in 1992 |||ar to what IR did to MSV !

What did ARR do to IR in 1992? He stormed TN but that's all. It was similar to how Rajini took over Kamal. Rajini did not end Kamal and cannot. Their business position exchanged. That is it.

The same way most IR fans (ex dumbroni) say that ARR relies only on instruments and mainly his keyboard
But ARR has compsed an awesome melodious wonder without using a SINGLE instrument.

So, You accept that IR did give bad albums and even a MD like KH couldn't bring the best out of him in MX. (Ask any IR fan and they will tell you how good MX album was (musically).
Athu enna IR kodutha mattum, bad artists - Can't you apply the same for ARR? I do have respect for both these guys. But you are making a point as if only IR didn't have limitations and ARR have them
BTW, He gave the best music in Bharathi and the director was not a popular one.
Then why he couldn't do the same for MK, madhu etc ! Appo Bharathi director mattum special ? Mathavan ellam izhichavaayan ! ?

What did ARR do to IR in 1992? He stormed TN but that's all. It was similar to how Rajini took over Kamal. Rajini did not end Kamal and cannot. Their business position exchanged. That is it.

Nope. It was Deva who put a solid end to IR by copying his own style (as per TFMPAGE experts

) and that was a businees position exchange ARR just made sure that the upcoming generation won't be kissing the feet of IR madly and following everything what he utters

He indeed opened doors for fresh music and style !

Business position exchange. ||| ar to what IR did to MSV ! If you accept that, I will take everything as a BP exchange
