Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[raajarasigan]

Just day before yesterday I happened to watch the song "Uchchi malai megangal thooralgal poda.." . What a nonsense imagination for a beautiful song..

me too saw that... same feeling.. looked like a masala mix...

This week's anadha vikatan has Bala's interview, he talks about Paradesi. Praises a lot about Vairamuthu and GVP. But there is no reference to Raja sir anywhere in that 1 page interview, not even on the answer for the question about his top 10 favorite people list.. he stops at 7. (Still Raja sir is involved in 4 out of the 7 best creations). I don't care, but I am trying to figure out how Bala's movies will be, without Raja sir, however the best they are.

Those who criticize Singara Velan , didn't you notice the beauty in "Pottu vaitha..." song picturization ?
How RVU cuts at one place and goes on to another, comes back to the same shot etc ? The song is a beautiful rotation of shots in the bus, cycle, Bullock cart etc.

This way of cuts and returning to the same place is typical of BR. RVU might have got inspired by BR's style.

Sonnabadi kElu - konjifying animals

puthucheri kacheri - live concert, nadamaadum orchestra

pOttu vaitha - as u said above! the bycycle will have two pedals, two drivers!

Adi O ranga sreeranga, Thoothu selvathaaradi, Innum ennai - typical RVU & Kamal stuff combined

Varacholli innneram - nice small pathos

Whole singaaravelan album

Ilayaraaja was the producer for Singarvelan

[jaiganes]

The whole discussion on song picturisation and RVU has me in the gounder moment when sendhil asks him to play nalandaana in thavil!!!

[raja_fan]

Another remarkable thing in Singaravelan - I think every song ( except Pudhucheri.. ? ) will have the hero's name somewhere in the lyrics

One group says NEP Is copied.... enjoy the fun

Singaravelan Lyrics um RVU thaan. As usual, all of his films he pens lyrics. There may be very few exceptions.

btw, i am baffled at the level which some ppl goes to instill that whatever Raja said/did/thought was right and only the opposite guy was wrong There are some statements made, which even Raja himself won't buy!
