[krish244]

Touring talkies (tamil) review. As per reviews, movie is not good.

"...At the end, as the lights switch on, you realise you’re among the few people left in the theatre. It’s a mark of how bad the film is that even Ilaiyaraaja’s best efforts can’t salvage it."

Dochu,
IR is generally not known to attending audio release of movies that he scored. Unless, there is a specific request/need for him to be at the audio release function. This is known to the tamil movie industry and they have accepted it.

I concur.

Maybe like you, I have grown up admiring him and very well know the fact that you have stated above.

Would somebody accept if nobody turned up for their parties? Can they let it go considering that is a known fact?

Because somebody is that way, doesn't make things right, get excused and get written into the law of moral conventions which the humans value.

Again, I don't know the reason for his absence, but as you said above, there is a history and hence I posted. I admire too much of him, and sometimes, can't digest these quirks.

I would be really really surprised if the audio takes off, as you posted, the movie tanked. It is like NEPM, santhanam song - no matter how much ever he claims it to be great, audience didn't like it at all. There is nothing wrong in giving out bad ones, when there is a rise, one should expect fall too.

இதே பாடல சூழல் அவரது ஆயிரம் படங்களின் வரிசையில் எத்தனையாவது முறை! இருந்தபோதிலும் ஒவ்வொருமுறையும் எப்படி இவரால் மட்டும் மெலடி, பின்னணி இசையில் புதுப்பொலிவுடன் கோலோச்ச முடிகிறது? இசை ராட்சசன்.

டூரிங் டாக்கிஸ் - சுட்டிப் பெண்ணே சுட்டிப் பெண்ணே..



எவ்வளவு அழகா சரணத்திலிருந்து பல்லவிக்கு பாலம் கட்டுகிறார் பாருங்கள்! The Best Architect!

டூரிங் டாக்கிஸ் - ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே

அழகான பாரதியின் வரிகளுக்கு நானும் கர்நாடக சங்கீத வித்வான்கள் பலவித ராகங்களில் அமைத்த ஒருசில வடிவங்களை கேட்டிருக்கிறேன். ஆனால் இளையராஜா தனக்கே உரிய முத்திரைகளுடன் என்ன ஒரு அழகுடன், பொலிவுடன் இன்னொரு வடிவத்தை அளித்திருக்கிறார். மாணிக்கவாசகர், கம்பன், காளிதாசன், பாரதி என மேதைகளோடு ராஜா அடிக்கடி உரையாடி வருவது நம்மைப் போன்ற ரசிகர்களுக்கு பெருவிருந்து.

Rudramadevi audio rights bagged by Lahari music.

"...G.Manohar Naidu, CEO of Lahari Music, is very happy for bagging the audio rights of the movie. He said, "'The album of 'Gopala Gopala', released by us earlier this year, has been in the top position. We released many of Ilayaraja's albums. He also composed music for 'Rudhramadevi', which will be remembered for many generations. So we bagged the rights offering a huge price..."

Some reviews below.

"...Music by Illaiyaraaja is good both Piddly (sung by Amitabh Bachchan) and Sha Sha Sha Mi Mi Mi are good numbers. PC Sreeram adds his magic touch and makes it a good viewing experience...."

"Uyire Unnai" song from TT movie. Decent song with nice piano-like sounds and simple beats accompanying most of the song.



You can listen to other songs from the below link of this movie TT:
