Which MD is best suited for Rajini?

[Ramakrishna]

Whose music do u think suits well for Rajini's movies?

[Hulkster]

Well...Illayaraja can give the best BGM for Rajini's movies and his songs for Rajini's movies are usually class...but if you want to have a rajini intro song then ARR would be best....the rest are quite suitable for his movies.

[narayanan]

Actually 2 choices:

If Rajini does a mass Rajini-centric movie of the 'Annamalai', 'Basha' kind, I'd hand it to Deva.

Otherwise: Ilayaraja

Vidyasagar kind of did a poor job in Chandramukhi. Even though Devuda made rounds during those days. Nothing beats the effect created by 'Vandhenda Paalkaran'

Hulkster,

Which intro song you are talking about Its Raja Who has given Best intro's for rajini ARR stands only next best for Intro songs of rajini. IR's songs gave much pep for the rising superstar in his early years. songs like 'Pothuvaaga enmanasu' 'ennoda raasi nalla raasi' 'velai illathavan thaan' 'rajavukku raaja naanthaan' 'rakkamma kaiya thattu' are some of the songs which gave the lever for Rajini's superstardom. all these songs are evergreen and still popular among Rajini Fans.
Infact most of the Rajini fans are IR fans too and they run a separate website for hosting Raja's songs along with rajinifans.com .
From other MD's the best intro's are 'En peru padaiyappa' ' oruvan oruvan muthalaali' by ARR and 'naan autokaaran' ' vanthenda paalkaaran' by Deva.

hmmm ya i do agree Deva was better than ARR/IR in introducing Rajini in those songs but still i would prefer a 'othungu othungu' from maaveeran or ' pothuvaaga enmanasu' from murattu kaalai.

Well although IR did the best intro songs for Rajini....remember that he himself got interested in doing such songs and wanted to go completely musical....but as for now the best intro songs are done by ARR but of course IR still has the ability to produce excellent intro songs...ragupathi raagava from Heyram...that one song tells the determination of the main character.

[S.Balaji]

Given 2 movies I think even ARR did well

Oruvan oruvan mudhalaalee and its preludes .....

Singa nadai potu sigarathil yeru

all songs from both Muthu and padayapaa are super hits.....

it so happened that during Rajini's peak, IR was holding the fort ....

else even ARR would have done well....

However, if you go by history, it was IR only as his records speak volumes

IR had given variety like

1.Sandhana kaatrey sendhamiz ootrey...
2. Pesa koodadhu
3. Yenna sugamaana ulagam
4. Pon oviyam kandenamma engengum
5. Oru poovanathula
6. Oorai therinikitten
7. Ponmaanay sangeetham paadevaa
8. Venmegam mannil vandhu
9. Oru thanga radhathil
10. Aagaaya gangai
11. THE ENTIRE JOHNY SONGS


List is endless !

IR & Deva will give that typical intro for Rajini,i guess they dont dare to take the risk to experiment on Rajini intro with changing any of the elements of an NORMAL RAJINI INTRO song....ARR has daringly changed many...Oruvan Oruvan had a grand opening,while En Peru Padaiyappa started off with just simple beats and then again Dippu Kumari something grand opening with punjabi flavour & ofcource,Shankar Mahadevan singging the song,instead of SPB.all his intro songs by ARR has neat arrangements & fresh music.Devuda Devuda was 1 of the funniest song i ever heard...see how Vidhyasagar simply followed ARR by using Oruvan Oruvan's intro style & Dippu Kumari's punjabi flavour for it...but he played it safe by using SPB.not sure hows the response for Dippu Kumari in Tamil Nadu...but it was a hit among youths here in Malaysia....still remember how all the indians will sing that song during school days....

[S.Balaji]

ARR also gave a classy Minsara kanna for Rajini ......

was not far behind........

Any Good music director can suit Rajni, cuz when they do compose songs and music for the movie they work harder than usual. The music directors add pep to the proceedings with special effects.

HOw did you forget Chandrabose?? He was the guy who composed the song "Superstaaru Yaarennu Keatta"
