Social media is completely new ball game. It requires entirely different approach and reaching out.

Ilayathalam problem is there are already other Raja page maintained unofficially by others which has 100K members, 30k members etc... It is not easy effort to bring ppl from other pages/groups to official page.

It will probably happen but will take lot more time and effort.

The name Ilayathalam itself is a problem. Who knows it is Ilayaraja's official page and who will believe immediately. It should be named with 'Ilaiyaraaja' since it is official. I think, instead of creating another page like Ilayathalam they should have to acquire the existing unofficial some famous 'Ilayaraja' FB page and make it official

mmm... even Raghavan's team did the same for raaja.com, I guess!
Shri.Ilayaraja paid some money to the fan who was having the address earlier!
I think Raghavan and his team are waiting for Shri.Ilayaraja's approval to launch the site!

Yes. Ilayathalam is almost like re-branding Raja. I was confused when it first time. So branding is another challenge on top of social media execution. Basically, it is not possible to ride on just Raja's name. I'm sure they are aware of the challenge but it requires a good team and lot of effort. Their current approach could be something like soft launch before an big official launch but I don't know if they are anticipating that amount of work.

I am watching "Thee" (Tamil Version of Deewar) on KTV. The background score is atrocious. The story has great emotional moments but the background score kills them. If IR had scored for this movie, he would have enhanced the impact of this movie and made it successful.

Kr, I saw that one in KTV yesterday.. Music is by M.S.V. BGM must have been scored by one of his assistants Joseph Krishna & co.

Ilayathalam: Hi all,
We are shooting the promo for the unplugged concert that Maestro will be performing of his favourite film and non-film songs.
Ilayathalam has decided to include 20 - 30 people from our fan page to attend the promo shoot where Maestro will sing 2 -3 songs on the piano with other musicians.
Anyone interested please don't comment but just hit the "Like" button to this post. We will randomly choose the winners. We are very happy with the contestants who came to the studio earlier for the rehearsals. Maestro was really pleased.
