    App, Yes. But the point I wanted to make is they were in queue just because Raja was already engaged in music composing for other films/directors, and not just because of any other non-musical reasons. So the appointment was first-come-first-served basis.
    I think you got it.

    V_S,
    Yes, yes, I got the point about his being extremely busy.

    I just added that despite that the output was phenomenal and the wait time was nothing compared to what happens with later-day MDs

    In the SPB-IR thread, today posted about nenjaththaikkiLLathE, the movie that got released in the same year - 1980 - in which Johny (see, the same director), kallukkuL eeram, nizhalgaL, moodupani, Guru, ullAsappaRavaikaL, murattukkALai and some more came out!

    Ask any current MD to do even 10% of that kind of numbers in one year (most can't do in their whole career)!

    I took Shankar's 'dated' comment in that sense and agree. Sad but true, IR isn't the trend setter (in songs) anymore.
    True. RDB himself was a great admirer of raja and for an interview he gave for a daily,in 1993,when raja was at the zenith of his career,he said that "the only composer in front of whom he felt inferior was raja". As you rightly said, raja was way ahead of his time and was an inspiration for any composers during those period.

    Will someone retain tendulkar in the indian cricket team if he doesn't deliver, and bask in the past glory? "evLo madangu paravayillai" doesn't suit a once-in-a-century person like Raja. "10 hits kuduthAchu...seri 4 flop thandhA thappillai" isn't the standard Raja set us up for. He kept delivering hits after hits till 90s. Let's admit that he got bored or no story was inspiring enough for him to raise the bar, and challenge himself or God forbid - he just lost it!

    I personally thought ASK's score was very nice. Same with pazhassi (hence my last claim above doesn't stand good)...What I don't know is: why should accept some un-inspiring movies, and provide mediocre music. If age and 5k songs are slowing him down, let him accept it, and provide those gems which are worth remembering. Who cares about the number of movies he scores for?? I, for one, will be happy if he gives one song a year, and that's an "adhi ushas..." rather than 15 velu prabakaran movies.

    Digression:
    When I meant thozhil-dharman what I meant is: When you speak so much about quality, world class movie etc, and then go and make a manmadhan sombu that too with a KSR, and DSP, it's hypocrisy. What WC are we talking about?? How long has it been since kamal made a sensible movie?? Why should he do all those stupid coin-tossing act like Vijay, when he can make another Virumandi.

    Kamal will talk a whole lot about Raja...and then ask DSP to compose and sing a number where the vocals remind me of a constipated owl's cry.

    I heard good things about a movie called AraNya kANdam, and I believe jackie shroff is acting in it...I heard it's an aged gangster's role...Why can't Kamal make movies like those?? He still wants to run around trees with Trisha.

    A genius like kamal doesn't have much time...he's getting older by the day, and we can see it. Now, instead of consolidating his portfolio with more Virumandis and anbE sivams, he's making "viswaroopam"s and "dasavatharam"s...I had this unfortunate chance of watching Virumandi and dasa on the same day, in that order...the only way for Kamal to redeem himself is to kick those yes-men (KSR, crazy, Ramesh arvind, DSP...in that order) out, and collaborate with some serious movie makers.

    The adulation poured on MKT is no less than what Ilaiyaraaja got in his time. If MKT can be forgotten, who can tell what time has in store for Ilaiyaraaja. Amongst those who were born in the 90s, it is not easy to find too many Ilaiyaraaja fans. Yes, they like his songs. But ask them about their favorite MD, Ilaiyaraaja will not be the name that comes out on top. Sad, but true.

    par,

    If you do some research on the 80s born generation, you will find that lot of people started by liking Rahman and have slowly become Raja fans. (Not that they hate other music but they have started loving Raja.) Yes, the current generation likes MDs like Harris and Yuvan, not to mention Rahman. But as they grow and their musical sensibilities grow, they have no choice but to come towards Raja. For no music director in India has done as much musically as Raja has done. And I say this as someone who loves a lot and lot of music directors. Though I know predicting the future is risky business but 10 yrs from now, the 90s generation will worship Raja. His music guarantees his immortality. Of that I have no doubt.

    Nadiya and Kushbu were more popular in TN than IR and Kamal at certain points in their career. I place MKT in that category.
