Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[rooky]

Suddenly all IR fans are showered with lots of good news and exciting stuff, and that too without any gap to breath in.
We had a music release to a movie we weren't aware of, Prasad. Then, much awaited DHONI audio release and IR performing live there.
We also had long awaited "Mayilu" audio release and now the big news of IR-GM combo.

GM is not only a director who gives so much importance to modern outlook and visuals, gives huge importance to Music and is seen as someone with good music sense.
I personally would expect to see a Balki-IR kind of Musical+Visual output, if i have to compare from the recent times. lot of excitement for sure.

Look at the link below.

As someone who had seen many "IR monsoons", I'm not very surprised

BTW, that Nassar speech transcript is very nice to read

& to Nassar!

As a mark of appreciation, I gave a "parking-lot-high-volume-closing-eyes-listen" to 'thenRal vandhu theeNdum pOthu' this morning!

ERakkuRaiya sorgam!

ஆம்... இசைஞானி இளையராஜா சார்தான் நீதானே என் பொன் வசந்தம் பட இசையமைப்பாளர். அவரது ரசிகன் என்ற முறையில், அவருடன் இணைந்து பணியாற்றுவதை பெருமையாகக் கருதுகிறேன். விரைவில் இசைக் கோர்ப்பு ஆரம்பமாக உள்ளது. என்னுடைய நீண்ட நாள் கனவு இது... இந்தப் படம் முடியும் வரை நான் கனவில் மிதக்கப் போகிறேன்,"என்றார்.

இதுகுறித்து இளையராஜாவிடம் கேட்டபோது, "ஆமாம்... இந்த ஆண்டு நான் சில முக்கியமான படங்களுக்கு இசையமைக்க ஒப்புக் கொண்டுள்ளேன். ஒன்று கவுதம் மேனன் படம். இன்னொன்று ராஜீவ் மேனன் படம். வேலை முடிந்ததும் விரிவாகப் பேசலாம்," என்றார்.

@K i think it is suresh menon - not rajeev menon.

[irir123]

suresh menon - the 'paridhaabamaana' face from the film pudhiya mugam!

[wizzy]

^could well be Rajeev menon...now Suresh Menon is a restaurateur.. his Telephoto Films office hosts Crimson Chakra.

[baroque]

Wow!

Rajeev Menon and Gowtham Menon with Ilayaraja!

all those of us not happy ManiR left IR,
there you go....

world of Urban cinema doesn't stop with ManiR,
Gowtham Menon is here. Good news.

Rajeev Menon's KANDUKONDEN KANDUKONDEN is my most favorite
Rahman's album! KK has some good moments like Ajith's first meeting-shooting spot book panna, Manivannan's panjayathu scene illaama padamaa...risk edukkaranga! , good climax too.


MINSARA KANAVU too nice album from ARR , dances with Prabu deva.

vinatha.
