happened to listen to GRAMATHU MINNAL (jingu chikkan dress wearing Ramarajan's 1987 film) - the song 'vatti eduthha' bears striking resemblance to ARR's 1999 'taal se taal milaa' - felt something sounded similar in the beginning and when IR sings "thottukida onnum illaye" i go "adangoyyalaa - idhu suttadhu !"

did anyone notice that ??

.
Nice catch. The way it is used is also similar. Usually the starting notes of main verse is the key phrase. In these songs, the notes build and lands on the key phrase. Rahman then goes to use that phrase as a hook. I think Rahman like this kind of structure more. Hard to know if it is inspired.

Doesn't seem like an inspiration at all.

Taal-se-taal-mila is an astounding, timeless beauty from Rahman.

IR will be composing for Prakash Raj's new Telegu movie "Ulavacharu Biryani" (remake of malayalam movie "salt and pepper"):

Prakash Raj is planning to make the movie in telugu, tamil and hindi. In hindi, I doubt, if it will be made and/or released!

thanks,

I liked Gundello Godhari. See the review (I think by Suresh65?) here. : http://onlyraja.wordpress.com/2012/1...dari-a-review/

it's time now for me to quit the hub - due to personal reasons.

Please don't link app_engine's exit from the forum to this. It's one thing to say you do not like GG/ MM (that's your personal like/dislike), but please don't call something as a "swan song" (That's too heavy a word.).

IR's second marathi movie for the same director (director of HELLO JAI HIND):

"...Tamil Maestro Illaiyaraja collaborates again with Gajendra Ahire after Hello Jaihind. One hopes, unlike the songs in Hello Jaihind which didn’t catch the attention of people, this album becomes very popular. Raja Sir has even roped in Hungarian musicians Béla Lattmann(bass), Attila László(guitar), János Nagy(keyboards) for recording his compositions for this film..."

The song featured in this trailer is the same as the popular tamil song (only little variation in the end). Forgot the lyrics. The tune sounds fine. Not sure why the lyrics are in English. Maybe the situation! Not sure.

IR to record songs for Rudrammadevi using London Symphony Orchestra:

http://in.omg.yahoo.com/news/ilayara...130606512.html

I sort of expected this to happen ! Exciting!

"Director Gunasekhar says music maestro Ilayaraja plans to record songs for upcoming Telugu period drama "Rudrama Devi" with the London Symphony orchestra.
"Since it's a period film, Raja sir insisted that we record the songs with the London Symphony orchestra. He has already composed six songs for the album and we will start recording very soon with the orchestra in London," Gunasekhar, who is directing and producing the film, told IANS..."

thanks,

Same news in IndiaGlitz. BTW, I see that good intention and good technical crew is working on this movie. Hope for the best.

"...'Maestro' Ilayaraja is composing the music for the film.

Gunasekhar, who has been well-known for massive sets in his movies, says that Ilayaraja has been inspired with the story of the film."Ilayaraja has been stimulated once he heard the story. He has been taking special interest in giving an international standard music for a film which is being done with global standards. The composing of six songs has been completed in the Temple Bay resorts in Chennai", he says.

He says that in addition to giving extraordinary songs, the music genius has decided to record the songs with 'Symphony' orchestra in London.

He adds that the movie is going to be prestigious, in terms of music..."
