Mass Raja Ravi Teja new movie is ‘Katti’, directed by Gunasekhar. Ravi Teja Katti is tipped to be yet another mass entertainer from Ravi Teja movie base. Also, it is heard that another noted producer in Tollywood movies would produce the film. After success of Don Seenu, Ravi Teja has wrapped the shooting for ‘Mirapakaya’ and working for ‘Veera’.

Speaking on this occasion, director Gunasekhar said, “Ravi Teja would be shown in a different dimension in Katthi. The title itself has lot of force and josh and no wonder Ravi Teja okayed the movie when heard the script”.

Yuvan Shankar Raja composes music for Katthi and the music sittings would start for Dussera. And this is the first time Ravi Teja Gunasekhar are working together for the film Katthi.[tscii:75d2803582][/tscii:75d2803582]

Yuvan made my birthday very special :D :D

Met him today @ Prasad Studio between 12-1 PM :) We were about 30 fans.

Yuvan was so humble and down to earth and spent time with every fan for a photo. So many stills. Wow... He was humorous too. :lol: Cracked couple of timing jokes and made us all LOL. Fans made calls to their friends and relatives and handed over the phone to Yuvan. :omg: He attended every single call with a big smile and without a hesitation and never said no. Great man :bow:

We all presented the song which Orkut fans had composed for his birthday. He was so happy listening to that song :D

In turn, he played us the song from Vaanam which will release on 18th October @ London. Honestly, though not fully impressed in one listen, this is surely gonna be the beat for/of the Youth. Kind of club song.

Thank you Yuvan :bow: :bow:

[viraajan]

Well, here are some of the updates that Yuvan gave us.

When asked about the kind of music that Aaranyakandam will have, he replied, 'World Music'. :cool:

Maniratnam project 'Bloody Paki' is still alive and Yuvan is indeed doing it.

Aaranya Kandam (film sans songs) audio CD will have many background scores.

Yuvan and Ilaiyaraja will sing a song together in Mankatha.

He will soon reveal about the international project. Talking is going on it seems.

Yuvan is doing Selvaraghavan's next. He said they will announce it soon.

The REAL BIGGGG PROJECT which he tweeted about few months back is still on. He said he will announce it soon.

Abdul Kalam sir's 'Song of the Youth' will release on 1st Jan for sure.

[vithagan]

Yuvan is doing Selvaraghavan's next. He said they will announce it soon.

YUVAN UNPLUGGED
The soft-spoken composer gets talking to Chennai Times on his projects
V Lakshmi | TNN


This Navaratri was very special for Yuvan Shankar Raja. After all, the busy music composer got to spend some time with his family. “We celebrate Navaratri in a grand way; several singers come to our house and we have beautiful musical evenings. So, during those days, I stopped working by 6 pm and rushed home,” begins Yuvan.

He has more than a dozen projects in his hand, but Yuvan says he’s got it all worked out. “I usually work on two projects at a time. Now, I’m working on Vaanam and Mankatha,” he says.
Despite Vaanam being a remake of the Telugu hit Vedham, Yuvan says he hasn’t retained any tunes from the original. “Each character in Vaanam, be it Simbu or Anushka or Vega and Bharath, has a song and every song belongs to a different genre,” he says, “Usually, filmmakers release the album to promote the film. But, we will be launching a teaser promo and just a song from Vaanam to endorse the music album, which will be released later. Simbu and I have each sung a song for the teaser promo.” He adds, “I’m currently working on a single track for Vaanam and it will be on the lines of a futuristic club mix.” Yuvan has also started work on Venkat Prabhu’s Mankatha. “There will be six songs in the film and I’ve composed tunes for five of them. We are yet to have a sitting with the lyricists and finalise on who will be singing which song,” he reveals.

For Yuvan, Mankatha is special for various reasons. “I’ve already done four films with Ajith and I want our fifth film to be a huge hit. In fact, Ajith had called me earlier to say that our combination in this film should work wonders at the BO. So, I’m taking extra care while composing.”

Revealing details of the album, he says, “Appa (maestro Ilaiyaraaja) and I are planning to sing a pathos number for the album. While appa will be singing in Tamil, I will be singing the English lyrics.”

Yuvan has also finished work on Bala’s Avan Ivan and Ameer’s Aadhi Bhagavan. “A full-fledged Hindi track, sung by Mohit Chauhan (of Masakkali… fame), will be the highlight of Aadhi Bhagavan,” he adds.

Yuvan will also be making his Bollywood debut soon with Mani Ratnam’s production. “Though I’d composed a single track for Siddharth’s Striker, this film will be my proper Bollywood debut. The film, directed by Mani Ratam’s associate Shivakumar, has Vivek Oberoi in the lead,” he says.

While Yuvan’s film graph is soaring, he’s also excited about his first live concert in Chennai on December 18. “I’m thrilled beyond words. I’ve done concerts internationally, but the experience of performing in my home city is just inexplicable. I will be altering the BGM or adding a few more keys to the songs. For instance, I’m planning to perform the remixed version of Oru Naal… from Pudupettai. This will be an experience of a lifetime,” he signs off.[tscii:7223648b9a][/tscii:7223648b9a]

How stupid the media are! Here is a news from Dinathanthi.

லண்டனில், பாடல் வெளியீடு!

சிலம்பரசன் நடித்து வரும் `வானம்' படத்தில், யுவன் சங்கர்ராஜா இசையில் ஆறு பாடல்கள் இடம்பெறுகின்றன. அதில் ஒரு பாடலை சிலம்பரசனே எழுதி, பாடியிருக்கிறார்.

அந்த பாடல் வெளியீட்டு விழா, லண்டனில் வெகு விமரிசையாக நடந்தது. வீழ்ச்சி அடைந்துள்ள `ஆடியோ' மார்க்கெட்டை தூக்கி நிறுத்துவதற்காக, மிக புதுமையான முறையில் இந்த விழாவை நடத்திக் காட்டினார், பட அதிபர் கணேஷ்!

About evandi unnai petha...

I dont like it on first hearing. The song has too much noisy sound effects to enjoy the weird lyrics.

After listening to great songs in Manmadhan, Vallavan, Silambattam. Ths song is dissapointing. I hope the other songs in the movie are better than this song.

[mahen01]

I dont like half of the lyrics..

[viraajan]

I dont like half of the lyrics..

I don't like even a single line of it :lol:

What kind of lame lyrics is this? it keeps going on and on..not to mention the english ones (you want to make love with me dare..lol) Music is not bad. 50% of the lyrics doesnt gell with the music..

[viraajan]

Lyrics are forced.

I have no much complaints with music except the noise. sometimes it is noisy.

Mahen, you missed an important english line. "Who the F is your daddy, i see him, he's deadbody" :lol2:

Who says celebrities have it easy every time? Singer and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, who is packed with back-to-back projects, confesses that scoring the music for Aadhi Bhagawan has been his toughest project till date. Yuvan, who usually completes his song compositions in a couple of days, says, “There was this particular song which took me around a week to finish. I actually made about seven to eight versions of it, as I wanted to give it my best.

Finally, I nailed it down to the final one, which was liked by all. Shreya will croon the female version of the track. We are yet to finalise the male singer.” Yuvan is enthusiastic about the rave reviews of Vanam’s sound track. He says, “It was a wonderful experience working for the film. And I was expecting both positive and negative feedback, but luckily most fans are actually enjoying the music and I feel great about it.” The actor has his hands full for the coming weeks. “I’m working on Bala’s Avan Ivan, Vishnu Vardhan’s Shadow, another Telugu project with Pavan Kalyan, Mankatha, Linguswamy’s next film and Vettai Mannan, which I am yet to start working on.” Ask him how he unwinds and the young star signs off with a smile saying, “Music which keeps me busy is my stress buster too. I enjoy going for a long drive while listening to peppy songs, it soothes me.”[tscii:960925679a][/tscii:960925679a]

Interview on TOI:

It has been a dream run for Yuvan Shankar Raja in 2010. Songs from four out of the eight films for which he composed music this year feature among the top 10 chartbusters of the year. It is a unique feat by any yardstick. In an exclusive interview, Yuvan opens up...

You have been constantly churning out chartbusters this year. Four of the films — Paiyaa, Naan Mahaan Alla, Baana Kaathadi and Boss Engira Bhaskaran — feature in 2010's Top 10.
(Smiles) It was a good year for me. To be honest, whenever I work hard, I don't expect anything; it just happens I had a breezy year and I will say it's all due to God's blessings.

But what's your favourite album among these four?
I like all my albums; so, picking a favourite is difficult. Still, I enjoy the song Iragai Pole... the most.

People in the industry say that you understand the pulse of today's youth...
(Laughs) My passion in life is music. I just enjoy creating music. First and foremost, the tune I create should strike a chord with me. In most cases, I have found that people also fall in love with the song that is my favourite.

They call you the hit factory. Don't you feel that you are too prolific as you have done eight films this year?
I've learnt from my dad that music is like breathing. Creating tunes is a natural process. Next year, I might probably have a dozen releases.

How do you choose a project?
My comfort level with the director is important. I have a set of directors like Venkat Prabhu and Vishnu Vardhan with whom I have a good rapport. This has resulted in good music.

The producer of your latest film, Pathinaru, has put you on the posters of the film. Are you planning to turn a hero?
No way, I'm happy being just a composer. I like my music to speak rather than seeing my posters pasted all over town. As far as the audio of Pathinaru is concerned, I finished the album eight months back. Probably they are just trying to promote the film. My anna, Karthik Raja, has sung a solo song for me for the first time.

You have recently tweeted that you are doing Selvaraghavan's new film...
It's nice to be back with Selva. I will be doing Selva's new project for which he is shooting at the moment with Dhanush and Andrea. It has been titled Erandam Ulagam. It's a pure love story made on a different note.

What next?
I'm doing a live concert in my home town (Chennai) on January 16. I promise you it will be a musical treat for my fans. We will have Bollywood singers like Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghosal, Javed Ali and all the big singers from the Tamil film industry performing on the show. Several actors, including my buddy Simbu, have promised to take part in the show which will be telecast in a leading channel.
I have just shot a music video with Vishnu Vardhan and Nirav Shah as a promo for the concert.

Any New Year resolutions?
I love to dream big. I want to step into Hollywood in 2011, and I'm working towards that.

How long do you plan to remain single?
I'm thinking of getting married next year. But don't jump to conclusions. For the record, I'm not seeing anybody![tscii:2897d35064][/tscii:2897d35064]

Rediff Interview:

Yuvan Shankar Raja is among the cream of Tamil music composers today. But success hasn't come easily to maestro Ilaiyaraja's younger son. He's had to slog long and hard for it, waiting in the wings even as older brother Karthik Raja made his debut in Tamil cinema.

Starting out at the tender age of 16 for Aravindhan, Yuvan Shankar Raja, the "Youth Icon of Tamil Cinema," has come a long way. The last two years have proven particularly special for him with hits like Paiyya, Naan Mahaan Alla, Baana Kaathadi, Boss Engira Baskaran et al.

Now, he's about to embark on another high-point of his career: The Yuvan Live In Concert, to be held at the YMCA, Nandanam in Chennai January 16 is a first for him.

He has just finished a promo song, I'll Be There For You, helmed by Vishnuvardhan and filmed by Nirav Shah for Vijay TV, and is understandably on a high.

As immersed as he is in preparations for his concert, we snatched a few precious moments with Yuvan for this exclusive chat. Excerpts:

How do you feel, now that you're about to embark on a live concert?

Naturally, I'm very happy, especially because it's happening in Chennai. This is where I was born and brought up, so it's pretty special to me. I have a bond with this place. Besides, it's the Pongal season, a time to celebrate. There hasn't been a big concert for quite a while, except maybe A R Rahman's concert. So maybe its high time another came along.

Would you say that you're following A R Rahman's footsteps, in this case?
No, absolutely not. I don't follow anyone's footsteps. I make my own way.

Growing up among the many talented celebrities in your family, did you feel the pressure to perform well?

I've always been pretty confident about my abilities, about what I could do, so I didn't have those problems. I believe that I can get what I want. When Dheena happened with Ajith, I had a sixth sense that things would work out. And they did. Things have only gotten better ever since.

You're very comfortable with certain directors like Selvaraghavan, and actors like Simbhu. How does that work?

I really don't put in any sort of special effort. I work the same way with everyone else. Things just work out.

How do you feel when an album of your turns out to be a hit, but the corresponding movie doesn't turn out well?
I choose a movie on the basis of my availability, dates and the script. But yes, as you say, sometimes, the movie doesn't do too well because it's not just the music that makes it so; it's team work, a lot of people are involved. The director is the one who is at the helm of the project. So when it doesn't do too well, I guess you can't just attribute it to the music.

It's almost become mandatory for you to sing at least one song in all your albums. Is this a sort of sentiment that you follow?

Oh no, not at all. I sing because the directors usually ask me to. It's their wish that I sing in the album, and I accommodate them.

How do you deal with the stress of all the rumours that float around you? About the break of your friendships, and so on?

I never let them affect me. I couldn't function if I did. Yoga helps.

What are your future projects?

Bala's Avan Ivan, Venkat Prabhu's Mankatha, Ameer's Adhi Bhaghavan, and Simbhu's Vaanam. [tscii:086f5c79b2][/tscii:086f5c79b2]

[tscii:0f93a613ad]Maniratnam recommends Yuvan for Bollywood flick

Posted in A R Rahman, Ilayaraja, Mani Ratnam, Yuvan Shankar Raja, gossips on January 21, 2011 1:00 AM / 0 Comments
Yuvan and Maniratnam together

Yuvan and Maniratnam together

Speculations are ripe of Mani Ratnam joining hands with Ilayaraja for Mani’s upcoming flick Ponniyin Selvan and amidst such rumors there comes another startling discovery.

We heard that Mani Ratnam has recommended Yuvan Shankar Raja for a Bollywood flick, the screenplay and scripting of which has been done by Mani Ratnam himself. A surprising decision by Mani considering the fact that he had earlier parted ways with Ilayaraja and AR Rahman being his only choice till date after their mega success Roja in 1992.

Many will be well aware that Yuvan wants to make it as big as Rahman and the composer would be looking at the opportunity as a stepping stone to fulfill his Hollywood dreams too.

Yuvan would be really glad to get such a recommendation but what has to seen is whether this friendship will mark a new chapter all together.[/tscii:0f93a613ad]

But, this movie was committed loooong ago.... More than two years by now i think :roll:

Last year by this time, yuvan was working on 15 movies. Majority of them were crap like Baana, KSV, Thillalangadi etc. This year, no major difference in no. But the projects that he is currently working on are good. Majority are big projects. Mankatha, Avan Ivan, Adhi Bagwan, etc.

Wish he cuts down the no of projects :cry:

At present, No of movies he has signed to work for = 20+ :lol2:

[viraajan]

Just verified. That was taken when Yuvan had been to Kamal's house to invite him for the concert :D

[suyambu]

Very happy that to know that Yuvan decided not to sing for now. i wish he decides that to do forever.... and for fun sake he could probably lend his voice in interlude tracks etc. to me he is a very poor singer and has spoil't many of his beauties with his poor singing skills. however i do agree that he can emote well in certain genre of songs. nevertheless, he is not a good singer but a very talented music maker.

[interz]

I used to hate yuvan singin esp songs in pattiyal, kathal konden, but it changed after listening to paiya, sarvam... naan mahaan alla...

He should sing movie songs once and in a while IMO

Could it be for commercial reasons that Yuvan was not selected? SEL is famous in Bollywood and with Sonakshi in the team, i guess they are targeting hindi audience as well..Kamal chose Himesh for Dasa because he was famous in Bollywood at that time

இது வரை தமிழ் படத்திற்கு மட்டுமே இசையமைத்து வந்த யுவன் சங்கர் ராஜா முதன் முதலாக ஹாலிவுட் படத்திற்கு இசையமைக்கிறார்.

சிவா மனசுல சக்தி, பருத்திவீரன், நான் மகான் அல்ல, பில்லா ஆகிய வரவேற்பை பெற்ற படங்களுக்கு இசையமைத்தவர் யுவன் சங்கர் ராஜா. இது வரை தமிழ் படங்களுக்கு மட்டுமே இசையமைத்து வந்தார்.

இவர் இசையமைத்த படங்களின் பாடல்களும் மக்களுடம் வரவேற்பை பெற்றன. இதனை அடுத்து சென்னையில் ஒரு நேரடி இசை நிகழ்ச்சி நடத்தினார்.

இந்நிலையில் யுவன் நேற்று டிவிட்டர் இணையத்தில் " இந்த வருடம் ஒரு மிகப்பெரிய செய்தி காத்திருக்கிறது.. 'கோலிவுட் சினிமா' என்ற எல்லையைத் தாண்டியது அது.. இந்த வருடம் எனக்கு மிகப்பெரியது" என கூறி இருந்தார்.

இதற்கு அவரது ரசிகர் ஒருவர் "கோலிவுட்டை விட மேல் என்றால் கண்டிப்பாக பாலிவுட்காக இருக்காது. அது ஹாலிவுட்காக தான் இருக்கும்" என யுவன் இணையத்திற்கு பதில் கூறினார்.

அதற்கு யுவன் "ஆம், ஹாலிவுட் படத்திற்கு இசை அமைக்கிறேன். டைம் டூ ராக்" என பதில் அளித்துள்ளார்.

A Kollywood young gun is going great guns. Yuvan Shankar Raja, the younger son of music maestro Illayaraja, is gearing up to work for a Hollywood project, which according to him would start soon.

“There are more bigger news than just Kollywood. Will let it out once I sign papers. This year is bigger and better for sure!” the music composer tweeted on his microblogging page.

When one of his followers replied to Yuvan saying “When you say bigger news than just Kollywood, I don't want it to be Bollywood. It should be Hollywood”, Yuvan tweeted again: “Yes it is Hollywood! Time to rock.”

In the meantime, the Raja Junior is busy composing background score for ‘Vaanam’ and Bala’s ‘Avan Ivan’. What more, he has signed a Hindi film to be produced by Mani Ratnam’s Madras Talkies.

I liked Natpin Kadhaigal. Good one! Others :neutral:

[Sunil_M88]

Naa Vetta Pora Aadu - Superb electro orchestration backed by the right dose of melody.

Most songs from the album have beats and synths templated from Evan Di Unna Pethan.

I wonder if he's created his own VST plugins and loops, if so, he's got the sound on the dot.

Milliblog Karthik says:

Silambarasan mauls Tamil cinema lyrics like never before, in Evan di unna; the song itself is catchy enough with an overdose of the fart-like sound Yuvan loves. Yuvan goes off-key in the title song, but his tune and orchestration completely save it! Cable raja and No money are so obviously focused on the feet; they deliver the goods satisfactorily, with also a surprising cameo by Srikanth Deva in the latter. Yuvan’s rock turn in Who am I? is a throbbing affair with lovely guitar by Keba and full-throated vocals by Benny. Despite all drawbacks, Vaanam remains a very listenable soundtrack!

Heard all songs from Vaanam once again

My likes:
Evandi Unnai Pethan
Cable Raja

My dislikes:
Who am I
No money, No honey
Vaanam theme song.

Expected more from a Simbu-Yuvan movie soundtrack, esp since evandi unnai pethan was too good, expectations increased very much because of their single audio release.

[abhiveeru]

Much alike 2010, this year is seemingly turning to be a lucky phase for Yuvan Shankar Raja. His long awaited album ‘Kadhal 2 Kalyanam’ that was completed nearly before a year hit audio stores yesterday along with much anticipated ‘Vaanam’ as well. It’s a double treat for the music lovers.

Now Yuvan Shankar Raja comes up saying that he is done with 2 projects and is left with one to go, which is none other than Bala’s ‘Avan Ivan’. The audio launch for this flick is scheduled to be held somewhere in April.

It is worth mentioning that Bala and Yuvan Shankar Raja had already streaked with success together with for ‘Nandha’ that is still praised for its evergreen tunes.

[viraajan]

Interz, IMO, the title track is very good. Music, tune, everything is good.

[interz]

Interz, IMO, the title track is very good. Music, tune, everything is good.

agreed, I was too quick to judge that song.

[dochu]

my only pick is 'vaanam..."

again, too trendy - maybe that fits the movie.

On a serious note, i think he should quit using 'auto tuning'. Getting tired of it - been used so many times - no novelty exists.

[V_S]

On a serious note, i think he should quit using 'auto tuning'. Getting tired of it - been used so many times - no novelty exists.
I completely agree. Apart from novelty, it really takes the credit out of the singer. Too much techno (in the first song), not pleasant to listen. Tunes are also very bland. Sorry to say this, most songs which Yuvan sings are all off-key, why?. Having given some really gem of songs, listening to his music nowadays seems he is tired and want to finish fast. May be I am wrong, but that's what I feel.

[suyambu]

I too have to agree with the fact that Yuvan should not sing coz his singing is pathetic and he has spoil t many gems. Few examples - Sarvam Songs, Pogathey(deepavali) many in the list....he is immensely talented agreed but the problem is consistency is lacking despite his variety. having said, i used to support him just because he is Meastro's son but later started developing a liking for him. but my above opinions always remained the same. look at ARR for that matter, he is a thorough professional more than Raaja "sometimes" coz Raaja also has done the same mistake by giving many of his wonderful gems to pathetic singer like Bavatharini. i hope someone explains this to him...god bless!!!

[raghavendran]

quite dissapointing album..evandi unna peththan remains the pick..i also liked the beats in cable raja song..but others didnt work..all songs were similar..vaanam song has the same template as yaar indha pendhan and other couple of songs..this album will not stay in the memory for too long

[San_K]

Songs are boring

[vigneshram]

All the songs are super-catchy and sure-shot chart busters.
With Simbu around, you can expect only these kind of mass numbers.
And for a mass album, these songs work big time.

[baba88]

If the name Yuvan wasnt on the cd i wouldnt even listen to this again. All of Yuvans last albums were below average in my eyes. And they are kind of reptitive. He always uses Auto Tune + this synth from Iragai Pole.

[interz]

Just watched yuvans live concert in chennai (on youtube per tradition), an awesome show.. it had whole ilayaraja family, great songs, great singers, great actors, great comedy, great introduction, great effects I rarely praise concerts, but this concert is too good, not to comment about.

[Mahen]

Yuvan and the discordant notes
2011-04-03 20:27:43


Yuvan Shankar Raja is no longer working on the music of Selvaraghavan's Irandam Ulagam!

There were reports that Selva and Yuvan had patched up and was working together after three years with the Dhanush-Andrea movie.

However, it seems differences has cropped up between them and Yuvan is no longer doing music for Selva's under production film.

GV Prakash is the new music director who will provide five songs for Irandam Ulagam.

Yuvan Shankar Raja peeved with a newspaper report that he "assumed that Selva will sign him up for Kamal Haasan's Viswaroopam", which was later was given to Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.

Yuvan hit back and tweeted- "I didn't assume, there's nothing to assume when he himself (Selvaraghavan) comes to my studio n talks about that project to me! Guys this isn't the last project on earth that everyone wants to work and I'm not the last composer either. I like my music to do the speaking and it will!!!�

So he's out of Irandam Ulagam as well? :sigh: appave nenachen..when he was not signed for Kamal's film..

[vigneshram]

அதெல்லாம் சரி... "I opted out of IU, due to budget issues" nnu tweet pannina GVP (he also unfollowed Selva in Twitter) kku ippo eppadi time & budget set aachu?

[prasad_subbu]

Don't know what is happening to Yuvan. He used to show lots of creativity and promises. May be taking too much movies. That magic only IR can do. Difficult to see him losing standards and project. God bless him.

[viraajan]

[interz]

Yuvan is still going strong IMO. He is a versatile MD, who is able to satisfy directors and producers he works with.

Avan Ivan samples sounds good, esp number 1 and 3, I have to listen full songs to as soon as possible.

[littlemaster1982]

அதெல்லாம் சரி... "I opted out of IU, due to budget issues" nnu tweet pannina GVP (he also unfollowed Selva in Twitter) kku ippo eppadi time & budget set aachu?

Just like Selva and YSR giving interviews "Sandaigalai marandhu vittom. Inimel piriyamattom".

[viraajan]

LM, I don't think YSR let out any such statement this time. He said they've reunited. Also, when fans questioned him about IU and Viswaroopam, he only said that talks did not go well and hence he is not doing these two films.

[littlemaster1982]

VR,

I don't remember the verbatim, but both YSR and Selva gave interviews in a mag (Ananda Vikatan I think) which had the statement above. My point is, these things happen, but the celebs deal it in a different way when they have to talk about it. I felt, it's childish to question GVP when Selva and YSR both had to reverse their statements.

[viraajan]

I'm not sure if Yuvan let any such statement. (Did i forget? ) Selva's interview, i remember. But not Yuvan's! :roll:

[prasad_subbu]

Internz,

Yuvan is definitely a good creative MD. I wish he follow the same strategy as ARR. Choose limited number of films, make sure every small musical stroke is mesmerizing. He is capable of it. But don't know whether he is willing. The current performance of him(don't know Avan Evan) leaves lot to be desired.

Some time back I saw an interview of him on TV where he was telling that he make sure atleast couple of songs in a movie is good and hummable. What is this couple of songs strategy I don't know. He should make every song great and make sure he choose the best singer.

That way he has real potential and creativity to work with great directors. More than selva, I feel bad that he lost an opportunity to in Kamal Movie, which would have transformed him very different musically.

[viraajan]

Prasad,

That worried me a lot until few months back. Now that he has stopped signing minor movies, I really feel relieved. More than 70% of the projects he is currently working on are Big. All successful directors. Adhi Bagwan, Mankatha, Vettai, Thanga Meengal (KT Raam's) and few more.

BTW, knowingly or unknowingly every music director is into this 'two or three good songs' problem. This is what is happening in TFM now :banghead: and sad that Yuvan too is in there!

It's very hard to get a movie with all songs super hit... Recently only few movies like VTV, Paiya could reach such a mark.

[viraajan]

And not to forget, his debut in Bollywood 'Bloody Paki' too is in the biggies list! :)

Although too early to say, "Avan Ivan" probably is not going to be a chartbuster.

YSR need to take a break, rethink and put his mind in every film. Looks like he is falling down on his own success.

[littlemaster1982]

I'm not sure if Yuvan let any such statement. (Did i forget? ) Selva's interview, i remember. But not Yuvan's! :roll:

That was a combined interview. Let me see if I could get that magazine.

[viraajan]

Yes please :)

Yuvan only gave a confirmation that he would join hands with Selva again. Lets see! :cool:

[viraajan]

Director Ramesh will be directing a flick called "Vana Yudham". A film based of life of Veerapan. Kishore of Polladhavan plays the lead. Music is by Yuvan-nu sollikkuranga! Film have no songs and only BGM it seems! Lets see!

[viraajan]

There you go! :cool:

Songs are very good. Earthy folk songs, melodies, one pathos! Great album!

No Synth and only live orchestration! Drum beats are great in all songs!

[V_S]

Avan Ivan is very good! :clap: Unlike his recent albums, this is very diferent and much better compared to Vaanan and K2K. Rasathi, Oru Malayoram, Avanapathi are very good. Biggest asset is Yuvan has held back from singing.

[ajaybaskar]

Audio released?

[V_S]

Audio released?
Ajay,
It is available online: http://www.dishant.com/album/avan-ivan.html

[viraajan]

The album is just brilliant! :clap:

[viraajan]

From Milliblog:

Avanapathi is a veritable celebration of throbbing beats; the arrangement is enticing even as the tune meanders uncomfortably. Dia dia dole is no different; Suchitra, out of her comfort zone, delivers well in this catchy folk instrumental mix. Oru malayoram‘s sweetness loses steam soon enough, while Mudhal murai is typical Bala – obsessively ominous. That leaves us with Rasathi, the stunning showpiece of the soundtrack! Yuvan builds the tempo in this song with amazing maturity as it traverses that haunting violin phase to pick up steam again to end on a high! Yuvan nails the sound perfectly in Avan Ivan.

[viraajan]

Na Muthukumar's lyrics are really good in Avan Ivan. :clap:

Those kids' vocals are divinely in Oru malayoram song.

All three are from Airtel Super Singer Juniors. I could figure out Srinisha's voice. But no the other two.

Srinisha, Nithyasree and Priyanka - :bow: :bow:

The point was how Yuvan made what used to be straight forward concert affair a very unique experience, akin to watching rock concerts. Unfortunately you didn't see that point. It's okay, at least you read it enough to label it lame.

Grouch and others,

I get your points. But then, I felt certain lines and words could have been avoided (Of course, It is his personal opinion and it is his blog where he can write anything). It is obvious that HC fans get irritated with those words when they read it.

[viraajan]

Dia dole song is a treat. Beautifully divided into two halves. First half with music and dia dole phrase... The second half is truly brilliant :bow: This is the place where Yuvan has used 40 Drums i believe.

Avan Ivan is just brilliant!

Oru Malaiyoram - A song where Yuvan has gone closer to IR. The song which was initially a disappointment is now a celebration :) Loved every part of the charanam except the first line which did not work for me. Once the kids take over, the charanam becomes truly mesmerizing. Wow!

[Nerd]

Priyanka is brilliant in oru malaiyOram. I think the other two little ones have just one line each in the charanams. Nithyashree sings the lo..ng phrase and Srinisha sings the cutesy lines. Great song.

My favorite is avanapathi (minus the irritating ah ah ah towards the end). Terrific beats.

[viraajan]

That 'ah ah ah' did not work for anyone it seems :oops: Yuvan could have waited and got a better version from the singer!

avanapathi is superb...the rural beats are superb..surely the visuals will make the songs a treat..

[Mahen]

yuvan should have opted for a different singer for that song...i dont like the singer's voice..He sang kadhal yogi-taalam i think :)

[Saai]

The best part of avana pathi pada poren song is the selection of singer - TL Maharajan....what ya enigmatic voice...just synchs with the rural beats like anything.

Not just kadhal yogi...unmai kelai(swasam) , andhi mazhai megam (nayagan) are some of his gems..a singer who should have been utilized more. Yuvan :thumbsup:

[viraajan]

Oru Malai has grown like anything! Awesome melody!

Yuvan :bow:

[viraajan]

Raam is done with one schedule of his next flick 'Thanga Meengal'. Two songs have been composed (both melodies. Lyrics Na. Muthukumar) by Yuvan till now. Raam is starting his second schedule soon.

[Sunil_M88]

Switching back and fourth between father and son (Thandavakone - IR and Mankatha - YSR)

Nanbane - never heard anything like this from Tamil films, wow what a smashing prelude. This song didn't really require a bass line but nevertheless it flows. It's driving me insane. The bass and the choral backdrop of this song make me want to go on a long drive some where in the hilly countryside during sunset. Yuvan sirs maturity sparkles brightly. :D Madhushree :bow:

[viraajan]

Nanbane sounds really awesome :) Wow! Yuvan :hammer: for choosing Madhusree. She struggles in some places :x

Nee Naan compensates with fabulous vocals from Charan :cool:

[interz]

I agree. Song could have been much better, if he didnt choose Madhushree.

I didnt like Chennai 600018 songs, one Song in Saroja, no songs in GOA,

so quite a bit surprised about Mankatha songs. Yuvan did experiment a lot in the songs, which makes it worth listen, and still keep it melodious and peppy. No dull songs.

[SoftSword]

u mean u liked al the songs in goa?

[interz]

Let me put it this way: I only liked "Dhostu Badu Dhostu from Saroja. I didnt like any songs from CHennai 600018 or GOA.

Its still a wonder how Yuvan having many projects, and he is still able to deliver good music/songs almost each time.

Is it Vettai audio release after Mankatha for Yuvan?`??

[Mahen]

started liking balelaka and nee naan..the rest not impressive..i will like to reiterate that mangatha is the weakest VP-Yuvan album

Vikram's 'Rajapattai' joins the single bandwagon
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, October 01, 2011]

Releasing single audio tracks before the actual audio launch seems to have become the fad of the day in Tamil cinema, and the films that have earlier seen single song releases, Simbu's 'Vaanam', Ajith's 'Mankatha' and Adharva - Amala Paul's 'Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal' have all generated good buzz encouraging this trend further.

Joining this league soon will be Chiyaan Vikram's next offering, 'Rajapattai' where he shares screen space with Deeksha Seth. It maybe mentioned that this is the first time Yuvan Shankar Raja and Vikram will be getting together for a film making it a special something to look forward to.

Not just that, this single track is touted to have been crooned by Vikram!

'Rajapattai' sees Vikram as one who wants to get a big break in Tamil cinema as a villain. The film is taking shape at a fast pace and will see light of the day during the Christmas holidays. It is also Suseenthiran's first ever commercial cinema with a mass appeal.

Yuvan's earlier singles brought him much acclaim (Vaanam and Mankatha), let's just hope the single mantra works magic for him again!

DheenA : YSR
RamaNA : IR
Stalin(? Telugu RamaNA) : HJ
Gajini (T) : HJ
Gajini (H) : ARR
7Am aRivu : HJ

I think if 7Am is made in Hindi with A Khan, ARR is a strong possibility (unless ARR says "no" to them).

Ela ela by Haricharan and Shweta Pandit. :musicsmile:

Haricharan seems like the first choice for every MD for these kind of haunting melodies these days. Yuvan sir proves he is the best at merging sounds of the yore with current and urban/youthful nuances. Sometimes I feel, he might be the only bridge in the industry as his compositions near enough always deliver an authentic quotient with an ambiance that's truly ahead of its time. Yes, he make take a leaf out of Raaja saab's book when it comes to melody but his zingy trademark has proven that he too can leave his own impact on listeners.

[viraajan]

Sunil :)

Loved Ela Ela and Anakone... Both are superb melodies!

Kshanam Kshanam, shorter version of Ela Ela is equally good! Just like "Kadhal endral" in Goa!

Title track is good too!

Only two songs that did not work for me are Veyira and Paparayudu!

Thanks for the info. Viraajan, I just streamed the album. No doubt that Yuvan sir has delivered something fresh here and because I make I beats I really admire his experimentation between contrasting genres in this album. Every song is different.

My verdict -

Has Yuvan delivered? Yes!
Has he pushed the boundaries of film music? Yes!
Have I become a bigger Yuvan fan? Yes, yes and yes :bow:

Kolaveri inspires Yuvan

Chennai: Emulating a successful trend is a common phenomenon in the film industry. Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja is all set to cash in the success of Tamil song `Kolaveri` by composing and crooning something similar for the movie `Vettai`.

Yuvan`s version of the song is titled `Papparappa`, part of Madhavan-Arya starrer `Vettai`. The peppy dance number, sung by Yuvan himself, will be released officially on Dece 12.

It is learnt from reliable sources that the team of `Vettai` will shoot an in-studio video of the song in the lines of `Kolaveri` and uploaded it on the video sharing website.

"The team felt that this number from the album (which has a total of five songs) has the potential to become a rage. It`s a party number and with Yuvan singing it, we wanted to make it special. We also decided to shoot a video of the song during the recording," said a source.

"It will be shot on Arya, Maddy, director Lingusamy, lyricist Na Muthukumar and Yuvan himself. We are trying to rope in Amala Paul for the video as the song is picturised on her and Arya in the film. We want to make this the `Vettai team song`," added the source.

Yes, the two songs in RP has superb orchestration. The veenai interlude in Laddu is really awesome! :)

But tune fails big time! Yuvan really lacks in this area. Needs to improve in giving catchy tune that readily impresses... With a not-impressive tune, the orchestration will go unnoticed only! ungala madiri, enna madiri yaravadhu ketta than undu :)

Anyway, Podi paiyan is the pick! Haricharan-Yuvan combo has done it again!

What the album misses very badly is Na. Muthukumar!

[Sunil_M88]

Damma Damma Damma Damma and Thaiyath Thakka Thakka are the most engrossing songs I've heard from Yuvan sir's repertoire this year. He has the calibre but sadly doesn't display consistency in this. I always wait for that one OOTW song that he brings out every blue moon and this time not only have I been swept off my feet but also completely blown away by surprise. The carnatic keerthi portion in Damma Damma Damma Damma is soulfully relaxing to say the least. The other songs are so so but I'm not complaining as I could listen to these two on loop for a long time.

[viraajan]

Listened to all songs!

Undoubtedly Dham Dham is the pick! Very simple and catchy tune for which the orchestration is very grand... The clap sound (which has become regular in all Yuvan's recent albums) is too good! This song is sure to become a big hit! :thumbsup: The second interlude :bow:

Kattipudi and Thaiya thakka are good numbers too... Orchestration is bit dominant in the latter. If that was taken care, the song would have come out really well...

The blend of Aandal Paasuram in Damma Damma is very pleasant to hear :cool:

Pappappa - Already discussed. Barring the Vaichukkava resemblance, the song is very catchy and I'm liking it.

After disappointed by one/two hit wonders like Kazhugu, RP, I'm much satisfied with Vettai. Fallen, mainly for the energetic and lively orchestration, catchy hooks, and very nice singer selection!
