Hmm.. though late, I guess i got the fine print right!

That event was publicised as "Preview" and not "Premiere" show! - so there you go!

My hounds are still on.... for the tickets! Lets see!

Well, thanks for the info Raagas. Musicians from Hungary n all... expectations have gone up, lets see.

**raagas** · 7th October 2011, 04:22 PM

At the rate in which raaja has been soliciting the services of Hungary (or UK) based artists - it is better if those artists get some long-term visas and stay put here only in Chennai/Bombay.

And tell you what! 'at times' i feel a "whats the point" thought whenever I read about raaja bringing hungary musicians and all - everything that raaja records with them, doesnt anyway reach people or fans like us. The practice of releasing OSTs is absent in India. And all those recordings are tucked away in BGM pieces, beneath the dialogues and stuff. And they are as such situational pieces.

Instead, if only raaja does instrumental albums, with such artists - atleast, the music will be thematic and listeners can completely listen/enjoy both - raaja's skillset and even their talent. There, I again come back to the same topic!

Some updates on Dhoni:

"...Prabhu Deva, a great friend of mine, makes a special appearance in a song-and-dance sequence.

Regarding the music, I must say that Ilaiyaraaja Sir is in full song and has fine-tuned all the songs with live recording — one hardly ventures into that now, given the advantage of technology. This means that the music of the film will be a soulful experience...."

Was "Masthana" song (and of course for other songs of the movie too...forgot the movie name) the last time Prabhu deva danced to IR's song?

My curiosity for this movie songs has increased with live recording and all that. Hoping for the best.

thanks,

Krishnan

Mastaana was composed by Karthik raaja.

I think the last film of Prabhu deva for which Ilaiyaraaja scored music is "Time".

Raagas, I forgot about TIME! TIME came after that Raasaiya (yes, i googled the movie name). Thanks. Raasaiya is officially by IR (maybe KR was unofficially involved

.

thanks,

Krishnan

I got tickets for the Play. I am not sure about recording the music - because it is a play with dialogues and music will be on background. Will try though!
