Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[jaiganes]

general question... Didnt raaja use kaanada for poo maalai vaangi vandhaan from sindhu bhairavi?

[naarayanan]

pon enben is darbari kanada. and yes poomalai vangi vandhan is in kaanada. also marugo marugo from sathileelavathi is also in kanada.

cant agree that darbari kanada is used for only unhappy mood. vaali is good at thamizh. and he knows about music but not an authority on the subject.

kanada uses 'periya dha' whereas darbari kanada uses 'chinna dha'. this is the main difference and both have many common phrases.

Dhoni Special - esp check the 2nd part from 02:20 onwards where Prakash Raj showers praises on you know who
The last part 2 mins sees IR speaking about the movie.

[app_engine]

I saw a small video clipping on Dhinathanthi website (that plays when you visit their site) in which IR / Prakashraj are featured.

rAsA tells that Prakashraj had made him do the BGM "like those old days" (acknowledges that it's good for him as he need not suffer the boredom of sitting idle...per the clip, he used to write the score in 30 min and then wait the whole day for "others to conduct and record")

Thanks for the links skr! Eagerly waiting for the music and the bgm.
This whole 'magic creation' process has been explained time and again by every other filmmaker working with the man. I madly want to witness this once, at least once.
