Inraikku "nostalgic Raja" nu solrom easyaa.
But is that just nostalgia ?
No, it is the quality of music that Raja gave in the 80's irrespective of the technology and media that time.
That is that quality which enables his music to climb and sit on any modern platform of internet or music systems.

Raja_fan,

Very much agree with your comments. GVM is working with IR purely because of the aura (through his music (songs and BGM)) that IR has maintained till date.

Kind of coincidence if I can say, but just today morning (while driving and listening to some of his latest hits) I was admiring IR's talent, determination and hard work has kept him going despite top directors leaving him post 90's period.

thanks,a

Jaiganes,

இதுல ராஜாவோட லக் என்ன இருக்கு ?
கெளதம் மாதிரி இயக்குனர் ராஜாவுக்கு இப்போ கெடைச்சது லக் என்றால், மணிரத்தினம், ரஜினி போன்றவர்கள் ராஜாவை பிரிந்தது ?
எதாவது நடந்து கொண்டு தான் இருக்கும். அதற்க்கு தயாராக ஒருவர் தன்னை survive and wait மோடில் வைத்திருக்கிறார் பாருங்கள். அது தான் ராஜாவின் சிறப்பு.
அந்த தம் கட்டி நிற்ப்பது தான் ராஜா.

Comparison is bad, But just imagine..
Suppose for imagination sake, director Shankar was a big fan of Melisai mannar MSV. Would he have convinced producers/financiers or audio companies with the idea that he would work with that legend around the time period of 1996 ?
Simply no chance, because MSV did not have that "Staying power" as IR .

Raja_fan, Hope you know that this topic and all discussed verymuch.

Raja when he joins with a director who can inspire Raja(even just 1% is enuf!) he will give great music, inspite of how kappithanamaana story the director has.

Ovvoru situation um oru thani story solraapla sollaNum, the director shud be a guy who generally give importance to songs and his videos are Superhits, ippadipatta oru director maattinaa Raajavukkum namakku jolly thaan! Becos he, like a happy baby, will indulge in bringing up the most interesting compositions and we fans are here to enjoy them. But the -ve factors keeping Raja away from the new age popular directors are

1. Absolute lack of marketing from Raja's side, both indirect and direct
2. His image which ppl think has Some kind of harshness. Bayam!
3. Existing MDs oda collaboration sopil aagidumo engira bayam!

Gautam successfully broke all 3 and went ahead. The result is this natural hype whose other name is pure-expectation.

raja_fan,
One of your best post. padikarthukku aanandhama irundhuthu.

As raja_fan observed, I don't see this as just nostaligia or any luck. It is Raja's perseverance and his love for music made him stay and firmly stand against any obstacles for 20 long years, which brought him to score films like Guru/Virumandi/Paa/Cheeni Kum/Pazhassi Raja/SRR & NEPV. Even if GVM is a fan of Raja, if Raja is not in the market, whether he would have approached Raja? No way!. He is an ocean, the imaginations and innovations will never dry. GVM believed in him. Raja is still the same Raja how he was in 80s/90s, only people left him. As I mentioned in SPB-IR thread recently about my talk with my friends on Siraichaalai songs and score, we also thought how people failed to recognize this masterpiece. People (inside the film industry/media) just took advantage of the friction between Raja and the directors/lyricist/producers happened in 90s and made it bigger and made a illusionized shift that Raja is not like before and he is arrogant, except few directors/produces who were very passionate about the music in their films went to Raja. No way in the history he let down any producer/director with his music.

Jai, that was not the right comeback.

VTV 2C OK, oththukkalaam
Next oru sengaaththu boomi varum paarunga which will be sold for 5,000 rupees
Only meesic director to achieve such a feet.

And luck ellaam illeeng, given the *right* directors his output has always been very very good. Even post 92. In the last 5 years nandhalaala, naan kadavuL, azhagarsami etc. So he has always been reliable. So GVM going to him was not even a 'blind' decision.

I am waiting for Vetrimaaran / Mysskin / Kumararaja etc. to work with him. Times running out folks.
