IR's BGM

[tamizharasan]

When IR was at his peak, he could do anywhere between 25 movies to 50 movies in a year. Even then his BGM quality is second to none. He is an absolute genius. The insiders told that he could come up with appropriate BGM and songs for movie in as low as few minutes.

Let us talk about his amazing talent here. Your favorites BGM of IR including movies and particular scenes. No comparison with any others please. Please include the quotes, of what other celebrities have to say about him. We can also select favorite BGM work of him for an eventual poll.

அது என்னமோ தெரியல.. எதை உதாரணமாக சொல்லலாம் என நினைத்தாலும் முதலில் கிராமியப்படங்களே நினைவுக்கு வருகிறது..

Taken from my old post on topic "Awakening to Background Score" in Current Topics Section:
-------------------------------------------------
முதல் மரியாதை:

குறிப்பிட்டு சொல்லவேண்டுமென்றால் அதற்கே பக்கம் போதாது.

இருந்தாலும் என் நினைவலைகளுக்கு எட்டிய வரையில்,

1) செவிலியின் துர்மரணக் காட்சியில் ஒலிக்கப்படும் புல்லாங்குழல்களின் இசை.

2) மலைத்தேவர் இளவட்டக்கல்லை ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் தூக்கப் பார்க்கும் காட்சி. தோல்வியின் போது ஒலிக்கும் சோகம், வெற்றியின் போது ஒலிக்கும் குதூகலம்.

3) குயிலுவிடம் செவிலியின் அப்பா மலைத்தேவரின் கதையை சொல்லும் காட்சியில் வரும் உடுக்கையின் இசை.

4) மலைத்தெவர் குயிலு சமைத்த மீன் சோறு சாப்பிடும் காட்சி.

5) மலைத்தேவர் - குயிலு இருவரும் சந்தித்துக் கொள்ளும் சிறைக்காட்சி, இருவரும் மரணத்தை தழுவும் காட்சியில் வரும் இசை.

- என் பார்வையில் ராஜாவின் சிறந்த பின்னணி இசை எனப் பட்டியலிட்டால், முதல் ஐந்திற்குள் இடம்பிடிக்கத் தகுதி கொண்ட ஒரு படைப்பு.

சித்தனின் குணம் நாயாகவே மாறி நண்பனை கொன்றவனை விரட்டி, கொடூரமாக கொலை செய்யும் தருணம். வேட்டையின் இறுதிக்காட்சியில் நண்பனின் முகம், கடந்த காலம் எல்லாம் சித்தனின் நினைவில் வந்து போகும்.

http://www.backgroundscore.com/2008/03/listening-pithamagan.html தளத்தில் "Sithan’s Revenge:" என்ற ஒலித்தொகுப்பை கேளுங்கள். 6.00 முதல் 7.00 வரையிலான இடைவெளிக்குள் நடந்தேறும் இந்தக் காட்சியில் படைக்கப்பட்ட பின்னணி இசை, நம் நெஞ்சையும் அருவா மனையில் அறுத்துப் போடும் வல்லமை கொண்டது.

apparently, he battled it out with mammootty (paleri, loudspeaker, kutty srank and pazhassi) in the final round... on the steam of range, mammootty looked a default choice but lal's bhramaram was a standout turn too... the best of the year, IMO... probably the film didn't interest them enough to look close enough at the performance.

Poornima - It has to be ;)

Kutty Srank has sweeped the awards - Overall Best film, Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing. So suprising Mammooty lost.

Yet another time a national-award winning film had a limited release even in Kerala. Whatta shame! :bangcomp: I was so expecting this film on PVR Chennai.

[Plum]

paleri, loudspeaker, kutty srank and pazhassi
Beat that for range and excellence(managed to catch paleri and pazhassi - although latter is not much of a role, it still beats Paa hollow. Former is ofcourse a tour de force. Hear good reviews of LS and KS, too.)
And they gave the award to one puny paa :lol:

[Sarna]

plum, why always anti-bachchan propagandha ?

Amithab bachchan deserves the award for his acting in Paa :bow: :bow:

[Plum]

Because even the award for Bachcan is pro-Bachchan propoganda. How can they overlook Mammotty for not one, not two but 3 acclaimed performances, 1 of which I saw and is good enough to beat the crap out of Paa. And two others carry good reviews too. Plus Pazhassi Raja which is not much of a role but he still brought it the necessary gravity and dignity.

While subjectivity is involved, for the sheer range displayed there, they should have chosen Mammotty. I mean, the award is not called "Best performance in the year in aleading male role". It is called "best actor" so "Range+Excellence" should beat "Excellence in one role", which itself was debatable.

For a moment i was thinking - did they give bet BGM score for paa. Then breathed easy when it went to Pazhassi Raja. Well hapy to know that Raaja got the award, however I think, the award itself must have been named as "Ilaiyaraaja award" and given away to Amit Trivedi. His work in DevD both in music and BGM front deserved a strong recognition.

[app_engine]

For a moment i was thinking - did they give bet BGM score for paa.

:lol:

However, this thought process raises a question too - does the 'halkE sE bOlE' kind of kutty songs get added for consideration of quality of "BGM score"? Sometimes they're far more effective than any pure instrumental score, as in this case (that raised goose bumps , one of the few good moments of pA for me).

PR, despite BSO, is average stuff by IR standards IMO - but good enough for this ok kind of movie. The best piece was when the British fellow realizes during the time of a negotiation that there's a huge AdhivAsi crowd outside (and hence could not harm the king).

Typical IR folk, presented in a grand manner with world class arrangement!

That the industry doesn't go after him is a fact - but he can still do magic as demanded! Ask a KH or MR or Bala to sign him up for a project, see the output and then talk about him! We know very well the reason why big names do not go to him - it's not "lack of talent"!

Interesting point. The kind of accolades he received don't do any justice to his talent. As hub knows already that I am not a big fan of him but how hard I may try, I can't stop praising his genius. As a child we went to see his music show in his hometown, where he did for temple kumbabhisekam, for free of cost. It was possibly the first time he did something like that. It was an amazing show and looking at his childhood and place where he was brought, he was born genius and there can't be two opinions about it.

No, no!

pallavi anupallavi is a 1983 movie and IR has finished around 200 movies prior to that as independent MD :-)

Even his classic scores for BM -moodupani & moondRAm piRai predate this. IIRC, MR got BM to work as director of photography in his first movie, hoping to have the additional benefit of some tips in movie direction.

I got answer for my question about whether this BGM piece of P-AP or the mella mella song from vAzhkai came first. Looks like this BGM (1983) predates the song (1984).

BTW, I read somewhere that YSR used the same thing in one of his movies...

If I am right this was also 1 of the first 10-20 movies for IR as an independed mujik de-recator.

No, no!

pallavi anupallavi is a 1983 movie and IR has finished around 200 movies prior to that as independent MD :-)



Bro , when was Anakilli released? this is was his first movie as a MD rite?
that was about what 1978-79 period? within 4 years 200 movies? :roll:

[Dilbert]

Pallavi Anupallavi la idha vida sirappaana BGM onnu irukku. Unable to find it in youtube...

I know what you are talking about , its the same piece as this song itself..

1976 , yes it was IR's first movie as the composer

And IR on an average did about 30-40 films every year in the 70s and 80s.

annakkiLi, as Param and others pointed out, was a 1976-er.

This link has songs of some 700+ Thamizh films of IR :
http://www.thiraipaadal.com/md.php?MDID=MD00001&lang=en

You can check out the yearly grouping there as well, that gives some idea (despite the few mistakes here and there).

His 100th movie was BM's moodupani (1980) & 200th was Ayiram nilavE vA that had Karthik as hero (1983).

And by the time MR arrived, IR was the undisputed numero uno in TFM, with hardly any competition. Why, he was competing with the top heroes for honors / remuneration already. His name started appearing in posters in 1982, with payaNangaL mudivadhillai :-)

If you check thiraippAdal site, you'll be shocked to see that IR composed in TF alone some 40+ movies in certain years (and add to that the MF/TeF movies, arguably the world record for an annual # of movies as a composer)...

எண்ணிக்கையை விட தரம் தான் முக்கியம் என்று சொல்வார்கள். ஆனால் அதிக எண்ணிக்கையில் அதிக தரம் தர நிச்சயம் இன்னொருவர் பிறந்து வந்தால் கூட முடியாது. ஏனென்றால், ராஜாவின் தரம் + எண்ணிக்கை சாதனை, ஒரு மனிதன், ஒரு ஜென்மத்தில் செய்து முடிக்கக்கூடிய சாதனையே அல்ல.

இது புரியாத சிலர், ராஜா அவ்ளோதான், இனிமே அவரால் ஹிட் பாட்டு கொடுக்க முடியாது என்கிறார்கள். ஒரு மனிதன், இதுவரை மனிதகுலம் பார்த்ததை விட அதிகம் செய்திருக்கிறார், இவ்வளவு பெரிய சாதனைக்குப்பிறகு, இன்று ஒரு பாட்டுக்கு கம்போசிங் செய்ய அமர்ந்தால், அது, இதுவரை வராத, புத்துமையான, அதே சமயம் இன்றைய ட்ரெண்டுக்கு ஏற்ற மாதிரி தர வேண்டும் என்றால், மற்றவர்களாக இருந்தால், ஓடிவிடுவார்கள். இவர், இன்னும் ஏதாவது புதுசா. முக்கியமா ஒரிஜினலா செய்ய ம்யன்று அதில் ஓரளவு வெற்றியும் பெறுகிறார். உண்மையிலேயே இதுவல்லவோ சாதனை.

:lol:

I was affected by BGM of AN (right from the title score) when I saw first time in theatre in my onnuntheriyatha vayasu days.

[AravindMano]

My first awakening to background score, borrowing the term from PlummanAr, happened during watching Kadhalukku Mariyathai. And the second awakening, konjam asandhu thoongittEn, happened while revisting Sindhu Bhairavi. Everybody raves about the songs, but the BGM was on par. I didn't realize it during watching the film. But days later when my friend and self were discussing the film, every scene my friend mentioned was etched in memory only as the background score.

Favourite piece from the film (http://ilayarajarerecordings.blogspot.com/2010/02/sindhu-bhairavi-sindhu-in-love.html)

Brilliantly supports the montages, if i can call it that way.

[Plum]

Agni N, might be my second awakening too. The distortion veena piece, the train in doorstep as af alluded are ofcourse great.
Then there is the idi-minnal confrontation score which concludes like an amplified effect of a coin's settling in the ground after several spins on the ground after being tossed, the trumpets signifying the noose tightening on umapathy.

There is one tender piece amidst all this high energy explosion - bo, not the I love you theme for nirosha intro. When tara runs up the stairs carrying the kovil prasadam, the flute climbs the stairs with her. She forgets her place in the family in the excitement of getting the prasad to her father; the flute captures all this and the veena piece leading up to being stopped by the policeman and sumitra saying "enga veettu ponnu dhaan". Mani milked the moment very effectively(one of his strong points) and Raja gave full support.

[ajithfederer]

Plum,

While Nirosha's "Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" was romantic and breezy Amala's was down right naughty. Trust this man to get the emotions right.

I’m also amazed at this man’s motivation in delivering such scores for such abysmal films. It almost seems like he was effervescent with musical ideas and he had to let it out, good film or bad!!

app, he is saying it from an aesthetic point of view. cinema vaazhkaiku thevai illaingaradhu utilitarian POV.
A related anecdote:


Sir Visveswarayya, the celebrated engineer from Karnataka, who is credited with the Cauvery dam among other things, is said to have observed the following when he was shown the Jog Falls:
"What a waste of water, that can be harnessed for electricity".

[app_engine]

IMSO, "cinema" is an art form comprising of all these ingradients - story / nadippu / pAdal / pinnaNi isai / photography etc. And there is no single way of "mixing" these ingradients.

As a fan, he has the right to say I like this - I don't like that etc.

As a "critic", he cannot subscribe to one view or other, IMO. And he can definitely NOT SEPARATE cinema & BGM :-)
