Sillunu Oru Kadhal vs Vetteyadu Villayadu vs Vallavan vs Poi

[baba88]

Let's check which album is the best in recent times...

A.R.Rahman - Sillunu Oru Kadhal
Harris Jeyaraj - Vetteyadu Villayadu
Yuvan Shankar Raja - Vallavan
Vidyasagar - Poi

Kummi Adi
Munbe Vaa
Maaza Maaza
Machakari
New York
Maaricham
Jillunu Oru Kaadal

Karka Karka
Paartha Mudhal
Manjal Veiyil
Uyirile
Neruppe

Succes of Love
Vallava Ennai
Hooray Hooray
Kadhal Vanthiruchi
Loosu Penne Remix
Ammadi Athadi
Podu Attam
Loosu Penne
Theme Music

Algana Poikale
Enna Tholaithai
Hitler Penne
Inge Inge
Iyakkunare
Kandupidithen
Kannamoochi
Kutti Kutti
La La La

I would say that Munbe Vaa song alone is 10 times better than all these albums together ! 8-) 8-) 8-)

[coucou]

compared sok with vallavan and VV becouse gajini and pattiyal movies are release whereas sok movie not released yet, in recent SOK is best ALBUM. 8-)

[thamizhvaanan]

dhayavu senju indha thread'a delete panreengala :banghead: same crap in different flavours :hammer:

[Djpak]

Arindhum Ariyamalum,7G, Manmadan was better then Pattiyal .
Chandramuki :s Anniyan much better,

[muzammil_fr]

Ya Baba, plz Change the name of movies, it will better if u put the great MDS whom rouling in tfm now
i means ARR, HJ and YSR
as we make a poll everytime, last time we make Ah AAH, Ghajini, KNM (i think) , so now let's change as SOK, Vallavan, Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu
then surely will be hot

This time we have 3 melody in three albems, let's vote which is best

1. Munbe Vaa ( Surely Rock, no doubt, Fresh tune :) )
2. Vallava (Really nice Melody From YSR)
3. Partha Naal Mudhal ( Not As great Munbe Vaa and Vallava, but it's Good, we heard already like this song in past ( Suttum vizhi Sudere, Thenmerku Paravakatru)

so baba quickly edit ur post :)

[MADDY]

3. Partha Naal Mudhal ( Not As great Munbe Vaa and Vallava, but it's Good, we heard already like this song in past ( Suttum vizhi Sudere, Thenmerku Paravakatru)

please all guys who think the song "Paartha Mudhal Naal" should be credited then pls credit Bappi Lehari instead of Harris.....if u guys dont understand wat i'm saying then pls listen to "Sochna Kya" in

http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/17/s/movie_name.809/

he even lifted the mouth-organ bits.....this is absolute "pichhakarathanam" IMO........also shows the sad state TFM is in now.....

[muzammil_fr]

yes , it's similair only the staring maddy, other in middle , HJ rip from Thenmerku paravakatru
so Sochna Kya + Thenmerku Paravakatru + Suttum vizhi sudere (Background music) = Partha Naal Mudhal
but nice remix from HJ :p

[Djpak]

Harris Jayaraj is an' Excellent ripper :clap:
For everytime i his music is better and better (:

[rayan36]

Harris Jayaraj is an' Excellent ripper :clap:
For everytime i his music is better and better (:

a ripper thats for sure :wink: his uyirilae enathu uyirilae is like porkalam yengay(THENALI)......i'm not condemnming just it feels like it :wink:

[rashid2raj]

AIYO AIYO.. i just couldn't beleive when i heard "Uyirile enadhu uyirile" from VV ... :frightened: it's just a version number 2 of ARR's Hum hai iss pal yaahan from Kisna.. listen the start.. IT's exactly :exactly: the same.. & the mood of the song.. and the tambourine.. ! It's ridiculos..

And now, if ARR makes Hum hai song in Tamil people would start sayin ARR copied Harris.. :confused2:

[rajasaranam]

AS a complete album Vallavan TOPS sok, vv and poi. But if asked about individual songs then 'NEWYORK NAGARAM' will top only to be seconded by 'Loosu Penne' :)

[MADDY]

vallavan is a more complete album than SOK?? :D

i thought ARR had used all genres in SOK whereas Vallavan was uni-dimensional......well it's my opinion, lets' see which album is better in terms of reach,sales etc etc...

[baba88]

Guys please help. How can I change the Poll options ?

Chennai - It is after a long gap that a Tamil album by A.R. Rahman has hit the market. And predictably, Rahman fans are going crazy about it even though this new offering may not be his best.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. ‘Jillunnu Oru Kathal’ - Music: A.R. Rahman. Two songs have hit the marquee - ‘New York nagaram’ sung by Rahman himself and ‘Munbe vaa’ by Shreya Ghosal and Naresh Iyer.

2. ‘Vallavan’ - Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja. Raja’s latest album is a huge hit. It might even overtake Rahman’s soon.
3. ‘Vettayadu Vilayadu’ - Music: Harris Jayaraj. Though it is a classy album, the sales may pick up only after the film releases.

4. ‘Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi’ - Music: Sabesh-Murali. The numbers, which remind listeners of the songs of 1950s, are a hit with youngsters.

5. ‘Parijatham’ - Music: Dharan. ‘Unnai kandane’ by Haricharan and Shruthi continues to top all the radio and television channels shows. A hot favourite with youngsters

:exactly:
i agree with you, almost all songs are good in vallavan while in SOK two songs but they are mindblowing

[Hulkster]

The rediff review is abit too harsh..i do know one or two tunes in SOK sound like rahman's old tunes but they have different layers and sound refreshing. Munbe Vaa seems abit too over hyped as rahman has given us better melodies than this...vennilavae vennilavae and pachai niramae will take some beating as both are first class melodies. Jillunu oru kadhal is the best track there with its innovative jazz music :2thumbsup:

From that article,

"The man who dominates the Tamil music scene is the youngest son of Ilayaraja, Yuvan Shankar Raja. Yuvan churns out albums at regular intervals -- without compromising on quality."

:clap: :bluejump: :redjump:

[Jacky]

The media is kind to him. Still none of big guys are ready to touch him with even with a stick and I don't think he dominates TFM at the moment. Even Vijay, Vikram, and Ajith have more used VS and a few Telugu music directors over Yuvan.
He is a better choice for small banners with new faces or upcoming heroes like Arya, Bharath, Vishal and others.
Now I dont want to provoke any IR family fans. It's just my opinion.
Back to the topic, if you remove the looking glass, Yes Uyiriley from VV sounds better than Maja Maja.

[MADDY]

i'm both happy and sad.....

Sad bcos of that review really disecting ARR into pieces......seriously u can hurt many ppl.'s sentiments with media in ur hand and a mentally retarted brain like the reviewer had....she/he had no sense of music, that's for sure.......

Happy bcos of the fact the backlash the review is getting is still more overwhelming........

http://mboard.rediff.com/board/board.php?boardid=movies2006aug08rahman :lol:

ennakum jump panna theiryum...... :D

but one thing's for sure the message is loud and clear for Mr.ARRahman -

GET OUT Yuvannukku cutout, Rahmannukku get out.......ippavavadhu purinjikonga sir....... :cry:

[MADDY]

The media is kind to him. Still none of big guys are ready to touch him with even with a stick and I don't think he dominates TFM at the moment

obviously they dont have the balls to criticise IR's ........vidunga sir.....idhan oorukke theriyume......TNukke theriyum......

i think u need a glasses man...check this lines out.... and u were saying its reviewed withouth the glasses of looking for copy/lift??


Munbe vaa, by Shreya Ghosal and Naresh Iyer, is good, but similar to an old Hindi film song that I can't seem to put my finger on. The chorus reminded me of Rahman's Dil Se album.

Machakari by Vasundhara Das and Shankar Mahadevan reminds me of a song in a Kamal Haasan film called Vikram. Those who do not remember the song will enjoy this one.

people r just biased against ARR!!! :roll:

[rashid2raj]

After Munbe vaa, my personal favourite is the title track Jillendru oru kathal, sung by Tanvil. It is the first rock 'n roll song of the album. One can almost picture Jyothika, the heroine, in black and white with curly short hair and in a frilly frock, rocking to a band. This song is pure nostalgia, and Tanvil's voice has a vintage appeal.

Rock 'n roll aaah ?? no music sense at all.. better :shhh:

these people r just unbelieveable no....goodness...they didint do such protest for Godfather....i guess this is the way to know that SOK is indeed a great album.... 8-)

[vasanth2006]

Maddy,

U wrongly understood my intention. i m not encouraged the critics of SOK album. that album does not deserve these type of reviews. SOK is good album.i also known that. i m not saying anything about ARR.

my intention is clear. in the current scene i thought yuvan is leading. that part of that article reflected my thoughts. so i cut pasted that part only. mind it i can cut paste the entire article. i didnt. i hope u understand my intention. my intention is not to degrade ARR's fame.

[tscii:355a611fd3]Dinesh 2002!!
You always seem to miss the main context but is interested in picking up inferences from bits and pieces, just like you point HJ lifted arr's some tune from 1.23 to 1.29 and passing conclusive statements with it.
The point was DUDE, a common listener doesn't have a strong dislike for any MD (not many in tfmpage exist like that incl you and me), he/she is still a listener and can point out traces but that would be from memory and not with any vendetta.
I've read Sukanya verma's review on Boys and it was good but is she writing this review (SOK)with any vested interest I don't know. If she did she deserves the wrath of ARR fans, which she’s getting like Maddy pointed out.
ufffffff....gimme a break.

easy brother,lets look into this person who reviewed SOK's VV or Vallavan audio review..... lets see if he/she can write the review without over hyping the songs and giving us the same review with the songs he/she felt that certain song 'could remember him/her of a certain old song and cant seem to figure it out' ..... from there we can see if this person is biased or not....if she/he is reviewing those albums without mentioning those stuffs above,then ill agree he/she is unbiased.... 8-)

guys,can anyone provide me the links of the review of VV & Valavan of the same person that reviewed this SOK... thanks!! :)

Ya it's because so much fans for ARR, and lot of expect on his albems, thats why 90% his albems release some days before as Samples preview.

i dont think she/rediff have even bothered to review music of Vallavan......i searched for Vallavan in rediff.com page and it came back saying "did you mean Villain?" :lol:

Dinesh, rediff features articles/interviews/reviews of regional movies which have a national audience........vallavana gummidi poondi thaandi pona yaaru ketka poranga??

[MrJudge]

After reading mixed responses here and there, I think another thundu is for sure to SOK from ex-and -trying-so-hard-to-return-to-gummidi-poondi-MD. gummidi poondi-la kooda ini kaalam thallurathu kashtam thaan pola :)

hey no probs.....i just said "i can jump" to say that ARR fans too have a reason to be happy.......dont think i criticised ur comments here......i'm really frustrated the way album has been smothered by bad reviews and badmouthing......that's y i got tensed....now i'm chilled :D

The Movie Vettayadu Vilayadu has collected CRORES already and the movie is going to be the Record breaker of all previous collection Records.

According to the Manager of Seventh Channel it will break the record of ChandraMukhi in Chennai itself. More than 10 theatres in Chennai is showing this movie in full packed houses. The First weeks tickets sold out in advance....!!!

Now DCP Raghavan is the talk of the town. Kamal's classic performance give a new look for the Police Officer's role. Definitely, not only the TN Police, the Indian Police force will admire him for giving such a powerful prresentation of a police character.

[Renault]

Now people should certainly understand who the king of opening is.

btw, what is Poi doing in this thread.. is it some kind of pick the odd-man out competition going on in this thread?

[MrJudge]

Vetaiyaadu velaiyaadu is topping the charts now and the film doing good business at the BO. But SOK is going nowhere and getting another thundu in TN. So VV is the clear winner :)

[selvakumar]

If this is based on *music* alone, then I would rate the two songs in SOK "NewYork Nagaram" and "Munbae va" better than the best in every other album.
VV is a complete album thought many of our friends have mentioned that it is a copy . O.k it is not a big deal for me either.
Problem with SOK is the team:

"A master like ARR should be very careful with his team selection. Otherwise, a class song like NewYork Nagarm will be wasted in the hands of the new director. It is like sachin scoring and the entire team failing. ARR had done his job pretty well. Even in Ghajini, only two songs stood out and the movies was a superhit. In that case, we cannot blame ARR. We should blame our directors for wasting the potential of this master"

VV had a great team and somehow HJ too got into that with his friend Goutham. It all depends !

[Renault]

HJ may be a man of limited talent.. and is certainly not in the Raja-Rahman league. but his end output is pretty impressive. If he can reduce his repeated tunes usage.. he has a long innings here.

HJ has potential, but I don't know what happened. Minnale was a fantastic debut. Interesting melodies and orchestrations. That was probably the first truly hip and fresh TFM album post-ARR. Some of his other earlier albums like 12B were also good. But after that his songs mostly sound like he's just assembling loops with a little original orchestration thrown in after the fact. Kaaka Kaaka is an exception. Even Anniyan, with Shankar's inspiration behind it, is not as good as Minnale IMO.

[imsai]

It's Vallavan :D

[MADDY]

VV is a complete album thought many of our friends have mentioned that it is a copy . O.k it is not a big deal for me either.

oh great :D , then how can u term it as a complete album if it is copied???? tell me, wat is the difference u find between sikki mukki neruppae song and Rahatulla in Ghajini.......

ppl. nowadays dont mind remixed/copied songs as long as they get good songs.........thats the trend i guess......but anyways i'm happy that ARR is losing out heavily in such a race........ :D

HJ has taken TFM to a new low by copying Bappi Lehari......theres no doubt abt that......ppl. want/dont want to acknowledge is totally a different thing.....

[ansa400]

HJ may be a man of limited talent.. and is certainly not in the Raja-Rahman league. but his end output is pretty impressive. If he can reduce his repeated tunes usage.. he has a long innings here.

Wonder if he can deliver hits if he reduces his repeated tunes usage :roll: that's his strength I guess :wink:

VV is a complete album thought many of our friends have mentioned that it is a copy . O.k it is not a big deal for me either.

oh great :D , then how can u term it as a complete album if it is copied???? tell me, wat is the difference u find between sikki mukki neruppae song and Rahatulla in Ghajini.......

ppl. nowadays dont mind remixed/copied songs as long as they get good songs.........thats the trend i guess......but anyways i'm happy that ARR is losing out heavily in such a race........ :D


enna periya thappu athu? yaaro copy adichathai thaanE HJ copy adikiraaru :wink:

[sloshed]

"but anyways i'm happy that ARR is losing out heavily in such a race........"

Wait oh Wait.....

Please dont give ARR too much credit for this.....or are we seeing a case of sour grapes now??

What ARR is loosing out heavily is the fact that he cant give catchy numbers at regularity. Face it Maddy , there is not a single number ARR given in tha last few years in Tamil would touch the popularity of ..(forget "Suttum Vizhi.. thats too much to ask) ...say "Oru Maalai" ... I remember when the song came out .. you cried hoax saying .. "Dont u think the song sounds the same??" blah blah blah... but i am sorry rest of TN refused to think on your lines...."Oru Maalai" was a thumping success....(Guess Karthick even got a filmfare for it) HJ's movies doing well (and apparenyly ARR's not) shouldnt discredit HJ's part...ARR enjoyed the success trend when he broke into the scene... what I am actually seeing is the sour grapes story IR fan's accused when ARR was finding more success than Him.... ARR is sure genius...but that doesnt have to be accompanied by discrediting HJ.... ah wait you pointed something from Bappi Lahiri...and actually I am glad that you have my answer ready ....
"ppl. want/dont want to acknowledge is totally a different thing....."
Unfortunately this time again... i refuse to acknowledge that as copy/to new low level/attrocius ..... as i would to case of slight resemblemence .....
HJ is continuing to choose good movies....turn out catchy numbers .... and He is defintely here to stay ....

Personally I am not impressed by VV.. and not with SOK either.. barring 'New york'.... Vallan deserves trash can .. Havent heard Poi at regularity...
But to choose among the four.. I would side with SOK not not with general shitting about HJ

good that we have a HJ sympathiser too here.... :thumbsup:

sloshed, again lemme remind u the fight between IR and ARR was a different one and the one between ARR and HJ is totally different........IR and ARR fans were just not fighting for popularity scale but also on richness, uniqueness, variety ( does HJ know that there is a word called variety in English? :lol: ).......but in case of HJ vs ARR its just abt popularity........HJ is more popular than ARR in TN, so what ARR still sells the reqd nos with this low popularity purely bcos of his humungous fans base......

[Ramakrishna]

HJ is more popular than ARR in TN

:shock: Pure karpanai. :notthatway:

[sloshed]

Maddy ... I certainly didnt find the point in your message... but anyway.. lets assume u did have one...

"HJ is more popular than ARR in TN, so what ARR still sells the reqd nos with this low popularity purely bcos of his humungous fans base......"
I dont think I would agree to this as well.. ARR is still the numero UNO in terms of popularity and fan base (IR is a different issue.. I dont think anyone in the past/present/future will match his fan base)
....its just that HJ is able to appeal to more and more people in the recent years... esp the type of movies he scores...and that brings to the word of the day "Variety".

dude ,I dont know who invented this term variety in movies...this "variety" can only depend on what the movie/director wants .... given a movie like say VV ... and the situations it has...what kind of variety do u expect.. carntic/folks/kuthu???? .....
and ah yes....when the director insists or creatively thinks of situations where you could use "variety" ....HJ did actually find the 'meaning' to come up with some numbers confining to the meaning of variety...lets say Anniyan....
carnatic --- checked
Folk ---- checked
Techno --- checked
and if the same director insists that if the movie is gonna be about "Boyz"...The MD cant do much other than giving ...
the same youthful sound....

oh god... so much for the variety...

[MADDY]

sloshed, HJ has copied bappi lehari's tune which is for me very shameful......this is IMO ........u cant pass it off as resemblence.......even the mouth organ bits of sochna kya tha song has been lifted....poor...

my previous post was reply to ur "sour grapes" theory......

i know ARR is great bcos of his skills and we should not criticise HJ to upgrade ARR ........but criticising HJ is not necessarily as a ARR fan but as a TFM fan.......

sloshed, infact i love changes, that's y i latched onto ARR big time......if someone can turn TFM around 360 degrees like ARR in 92 did and IR in 76' did, then i'll become his fan too......sorry boss, HJ is not there and YSR is also not there.....and dont expect good words from me for guys who are repetitive and who are doing remixes......sorry, again this is not as a ARR fan but as a TFM fan....

[MADDY]

HJ is more popular than ARR in TN

:shock: Pure karpanai. :notthatway:

i meant the songs actually.... :D

[sloshed]

"but criticising HJ is not necessarily as a ARR fan but as a TFM fan....... "

you kiddin me now ?!! ... when someone cant appreciate the efforts when a good job is done ..but hell bent on rippin apart when one 'feels' that its a bad job.. cant be a TFM fan...
Everybody loves changes.. thats universal..
You and me .. in fact everyone knows.. its going to be close to impossible if anyone would ever come to 'flip' the tfm scene... as IR or ARR did.

what u see now is actually expected.... put the genius of ARR aside and think why ARR was able to flip the scene....
it had nuthing to do with people getting tired of IR...

In the early ninties..MTV stepped into india...and captured the imagination of youths...and the same youths which make up a huge % of movie going audience.. wanted that on screen/ears/radio... nobody in India was able to give it to them .. ARR did that..and how ... with style and sofistication....brought a huge turnaround as far as sounds are concerned...the youths (esp in cities and towns) lapped it up with glee...leaving others behind...
the youths who havent been exposed or get fascinated by MTV culture (esp in villages) formed the groups which is now referred by as the B n C centres..... The folks cant sit thru a movie without gana songs or kuthu numbers....
(There was A,B,C centers prior to MTV as well... but the difference isnt that much compared to what it is today)
(Everybody in TN is a C in core :-) )

Now every Tom Dick and Harry (HJ,YSR included ) .. provides the same sound...and now it s a question of who delivers best..... ARR is the pioneer...and he will always be remembered as the pioneer/legend....Unfortunately ARR is in the same battle field to fight it out... and so far...atleast in Tamil... he hasnt been able to lord over the rest....
The field is level... and there is no 'sour grapes" excuse... I dont expect you to give good words... I just need you to acknowledge that HJ is one of the best we have... atleast as a TFM fan....

[MADDY]

reg MTV as a reason for ARR's success , y do u think only ARRahman in 1 billion population of India cud do that.....anyone with a synth and a keyboard shuld have capitalised on the MTV wave.......

yes, field is level now and ARR is losing to HJ and YSR, in terms of movie becoming hit.......sloshed, if SOK had become a hit then Newyork nagaram song wud have beaten suttum vizhi in terms of popularity........also, ARR is more experimentative nowadays than being populist.......that;s ARR's fault but he/his fans are pretty happy with the output.......actually we,ARR fans dont want him to be in this rat race only.....he has been a pop MD(he used to experiment then also), now we want more of experimentation from him........he need not care/worry abt his market.....

[Dragun]

There is nothing MTV-ish about Roja. I think Roja was a hit because it had different kind of orchestrations from the norm as well as catchy tunes. But ARR did soon introduce hipness into TFM (and HFM) that was missing before that, with songs such as Chiku Buku Raile and Chandralekha. His brand of contemporariness certainly outlasts the f-ing terrible disco music from HFM in the 80s!

ARR seems to be more in the vein of someone like Peter Gabriel, with his sonic and musical experimentations than an Indian music director. While this methodical kind of composing won't yield an album every couple of months, it leads to a richer and more interesting sound than HJ or YSR can produce. Most of HJ and YSR's songs are catchy for a while then quickly forgotten, like so much candyfloss, but I can still listen to New York Nagaram and even Machakaari.

[sentsbu1]

But this is the same thing they keep repeating for every music directors...

in the beginnning when Arr was dominating they commented "ARR music are good to listen only for the time, but they dont last long compared to music of Ilaiaraja's music...

People just dont want to accept music directors good work...please appreciate...

May be in your opinion. I can show you many HJ/YSR songs that many still hum. ARR is now like how IR was during 92. IR continued in his own style, movies didn't become hit and eventually toppled by ARR. Now the same happens to ARR. The defeaters now are HJ/YSR/VS...

haha...so true...i wonder y do they use that term for new mds... but yea...not every songs of HJ or YSR will last as long as ARR's or IR's.... but telling ALL HJ & YSR songs wont last is def absurd...i do like Hj's Ennai Panthada & Rehna Rehna Mer Dil hai Rehna and Ysr's Povellam Kettupar songs even untill now....

[MADDY]

y 3? y there is no clear winner??? that itself shows that they are bits and pieces and not champs.......dont give me crap abt globalisation,liberalisation, technological improvements, interenet as reason for not getting a clear winner......then how do u xplain Roger Federer, Alonso, Himesh???these guys are clearly dominating even in this gen where everyone knows everything.....kanna, TFM has just got Dhonis to replace Sachin and Bradman......if its enuf, then i :shhh: ...

[Kanna]

y 3? y there is no clear winner???

Then I would say, IR was defeated by ARR and co. The co. here refers to Deva, S A Rajkumar and the likes. Please remember that ARR changed the trend, but he didn't sign some 20/30 movies in a year. He was hardly doing one or two. So, the arrival of ARR broke the monopoly of IR with able support from Deva, SAR, etc. It was a team effort with ARR showing and leading the way.

Now there's no clear leader, but the winners are HJ, YSR, VS in equal propositions - meaning - their success rate is more than 90% - That's the difference.

kanna, u cant compare ARR with these guys.....its simple......ARR's entry in 1992 was earth shattering......

[MADDY]

meaning - their success rate is more than 90% - That's the difference.

90% success rate - is it songs/album/movie at BO??? or u r talking abt sales.....boss, in sales still ARR sells more than these guys.....

[Kanna]

By success rate, my stress is obviously more on album becoming hit commercially. That their movies becoming hit adds upto the album sales. I agree ARR still sells more, but his movies come only once in a while.

If you take HR/YSR/VS..they share some 12-15 movies in a year, and their hit rate is more than 90% compared to ARR's one or two films that make more than 90%

[sentsbu1]

With regard to sales, I would only go for Yuvan...

looking at the number of movies he commits and the release's in a year, even the audio market industry will prefer Yuvan, coz they want the sales for their albums...

Thought there will be high amoount of sale for ARR songs which gets release 1 or 2 a year, it will still be less for the total of sales that can be with total of 10 or more Yuvan's album released in a year...

Simple concept for Producers for the movie, they dont want to lose their money they invest...Yuvan is the right option they would go for as he is giving continous hits...

sentsbu1, wat do each of producer get for u1 and ARR??? they invest 60 lac for YSR (that's his salary i believe) and how much does he sell??? ARR is not as costly as ppl. might think.....he demands just 90 lacs.......so, a producer has to spent 30 lacs more to get a ARR hit......now how much a ARR hit means and how much a YSR hit means is something we have to look into......so any producer wud go for ARR bcos they know that investing 30 lacs more wud fetch them the extra bucks....

btw, i dunno how much kedi,AIBI,thimuru sold.......

Exactly. ARR can be another hero for a film.

[sentsbu1]

Maddy I dont think ARR gets only 90 lakhs... I certainly feel he does get more than 1 crore or something...

But we all know the time ARR can take to give a music for a movie is long coz of his tight schedule and other committments...

As Yuvan can give music as per the producer and directors request, they wud prefer him much...He also gives music as per the script requires it...

i dont think KEDI and Thimiru need to be a song oriented movies as the script does not require that...Even Sandaikozhi did not have the best of Yuvan, but the movie became a super it and good hits of the songs and excellent BGM...

Producers and directors prefer Yuvan for his excellence in BGM...I think Thimiru is mainly for Yuvan's BGM or for Vishal's request for Yuvan...

AIBI songs had a very good start...as the movie did not do well, the sales obviously would have gone down...

But HJ has been around for what, 5-6 years? By the time ARR was in the industry 6 years he had produced good to great albums like Dil Se, Thiruda Thiruda, Gentleman, May Madham, Bombay, and Duet. I'm not saying that I totally dislike HJ or YSR. I still listen to Minnale and 7G Rainbow Colony, and they have good individual songs here and there. We can't compare HJ/YSR to ARR because they did not radically change the sound of TFM like ARR did. They are merely solid (not great) composers with occasional flashes of brilliance IMO.

[thumburu]

VV among the three clearly seems to be the money spinner movie and music wise . Though VV songs border on mediocrity, they seem to hog all the channel slots while I dont hear much of SOK.
HJ has given catchy tunes for the titile song "karka karka" and the newyork song "veNNilavae ". Thamarai should be heavily credited for the success of VV songs.
HJ's favourite Anandhabhairavi scale is used again in the inspired song "paartha mudhal naaLe"

[Kanna]

This is a valid point. I agree 100%
But, both IR and ARR did it in the first or first few films of their entry. HJ and YSR haven't done that so far. What IR and ARR did initially, let me hope sincerely that atleast, YSR will do it somewhere in the middle. Currently I see YSR as a commercial MD. But when given a chance, I'm sure, he'll come with something great.

I also agree with every point of Dragun. There was a time ARR was completely dominating TFM with his masterpieces. The albums mentioned in Dragun's list are clear proof for this. Also, he was far more consistent and was successful all the time during this period. You may call this as a new dimention in TFM, IMO. I am not seeing anyone in the present generation creating that impact. I do like YSR and HJ. But I don't feel what I got during that time ! I am not a fan of ARR. No wonder HJ or YSR is unable to cope up with that. YSR is doing exceptionally well among the present generation MDs (IMO). What these guys have forgotten is :- A unique blend of music only will be able to make the listeners go for it ! They provide extremely good songs here and there but not in the way how ARR was providing !

Dil se :notworthy:

y 3? y there is no clear winner??? that itself shows that they are bits and pieces and not champs.......

I am seeing this in the positive mode. really tough competition between yuvan and HJ now. VS is fading away in recent times.

even though HJ got very less talent then yuvan (IMHO), his films are mega hit (obiviously his songs also). HJ is the luckiest fellow. whatever films he is composing, that are mega hits. HJ is riding on the successful movies/directors only. OTOH, yuvan joins hands with both successful directors/combinations and the small budget movies/new directors also. Yuvan is standing on his own.

talent wise, definitely yuvan is ahead of HJ. yuvan has varity of music. u1 can do carnatic or western or folk music. any music for that matter. then BGM area, HJ is nowhere near yuvan. HJ can attend the BGM class from u1.

HJye sollittar Yuvan binnukirarnnu. namakkuthan (fans) puriyalaiyo? :roll:

anyway after 1 or 2 years, definitely any one of them will be the clear winner.

[vasanth2006]

sentsbu1, wat do each of producer get for u1 and ARR??? they invest 60 lac for YSR (that's his salary i believe)

yuvan is getting more than 75 lacs. i read it in one of the dailies.
they also said like now the small budget movies can not book u1.

then the difference betn him and ARR is not even 15 lacs.... :D ......(i'm sure abt ARR's salary bcos he said in one of the interviews that he does not demand a lot bcos of piracy nowadays)......how much does a hit u1 album sell??? i'm really curious to know as to y he gets a salary equal to ARR.....

As far as I know, ARR gets a crore rupees for a movie, and HJ abt 90 laks ... Have no idea abt how much YSR gets ... But 75 sounds fair !!! Technically, ARR should be getting abt 2 crores, but the Tamil movie market is SMALL, so it's acceptable !! I'm sure he makes a lot more in Hindi !!! :thumbsup:

the latest update is :

1.ARR - 90 lakhs
2.Hj - 80 lakhs
3.YSR - 65 lakhs
4.VS - 40 lakhs
5.IR - 15 lakhs

if im not mistaken it was given by some reliable source.....

[tscii]Harris is the king!

By Moviebuzz | Friday, 06 October , 2006, 10:39

Last week there was an informal get-together of Tamil music company bosses. They had met to discuss about the alarming drop in the sales of audio cassettes due to rampant piracy and downloading of music.
At the meeting, A.R.Rahman came in for sharp criticism as they felt that he has lost his magic touch as far as Tamil film music goes. The sales of his audios, notably new titles like Godfather and Sillunu Oru Kadhal has been lukewarm. :?
Yuvan Shankar Raja too came in for criticism for doing too many remixes of his dad’s tunes and being repetitive. This year none of his albums except for Vallavan is selling!

At the same time, they were praising Harris Jayaraj for the music of Vetayadu Vilayadu and its audio sales. This audio has broken the record created last year’s Ghajini and Anniyan both from Harris.

So far Vetayadu Vilayadu has sold 85,000 audio cassettes and 60,000 CD’s across India. It is phenomenal achievement as the audio industry is in the dumps. In fact, the music industry feels that Vetayadu Vilayadu is such a huge hit only due to Harris’ music.

All the audio companies were unanimous that Harris Jayaraj is the King of Tamil cinema music. His plus points are that he does not take too many assignments and there is something new in each album. :wink:

I think HJ selection of director/movie made him more successful than Yuvan. If you want to stay for a longer time with limited talent you shuld work with good directors or good projects.
I think HJ succeded in this aspect. matter of fact ANNIYAN&GAJINI was popular and now VV is super hit.

Yuvan should accept lesser number of movies .Otherwise down the line he will become like shankar-ganesh/deva kind of stuff.

sify has been so aggressively promoting Harris jeyaraj... Remember that even before Anniyan audio release there was an article on the review raving about the music. Then when the audio was not selling as much as it should have (bfore the film release) it was carrying an article titled "Who said Anniyan audio is not a hit" or something like that.... irukkalam some feelers of Harris would have been in an important position in Sify

neway Harris might be leading the race in audio sales currently in T.N, but athukaga Yuvan, ARR ivangala mattam thatturathu toooooooooo much

athellam irukattum.....konja naalaikku munadi NDTV la kooda Harris is the next A.R.Rahman of South India nu etho oru news report kamichangalae..anyone saw that?

Last week there was an informal get-together of Tamil music company bosses. They had met to discuss about the alarming drop in the sales of audio cassettes due to rampant piracy and downloading of music.

informal discussiona??? between whom???? i dunno how they can come up with such crap without fearing backlash......

this is like reading in varamalar a cover story abt queen elizabeth...
they had written "prince charless is gonna take the throne...etc etc.......these are all kept secret by the palace officals"..adhavadhu...palace officials secret-a vechurukura vishayam ..varamalar kadaisi pakkamla vandhadhu epdi??? :rotfl:
