I second Sakala. Trailers made it obvious that this will be an outdated melodrama - remake of a Marathi movie by Mahesh Manjrekar, to boot. There are some lovely marathi movies made these days - but none of them are by Mahesh Manjrekar :)
manjrekar'nu peru vechale ipdithaan.
Maybe - Vijay Tendulkar was a doyen playwright in Marathi theatre. Perhaps, there's a lot in the name...

3* from rediff is unusal and good.
Ilaiyaraja's music is gentle and unobtrusive, and although it doesn't rise to great heights, Vaangum Panathukkum is a nice touch (with Prabhudeva in a cameo).
http://truthdive.com/2012/02/09/dhoni-movie-review.html
The film benefits from Ilayaraja’s inspiring background score which lifts the film. The special song with Prabhu Deva is cute and it goes with the narrative
I read a review which says "...in the climax, Prakash Raj meets the Chief Minister and gives a long lecture.."
Enough !! You too Prakash Raj ?
When will the Tamil Cinema come out of this idiocity of "face to face with the Chief minister in the climax" ???
And Prakash Raj's another mistake was to narrate the entire story in the trailer itself...How will it evoke the interest to watch the full film ?
face to face with cm?
verra endha padatthula vandhadhu??
and prakashraj direction...
though it was reported to be average, is there any glimpses of directors touch?
apdi edhanum irundhaa innoru chance tharalaam....
SoftSword,
Meeting a CM is very easy in Tamil Cinema..
For example, Valli, Ramana, Baba etc..
Ok..by my comment, I meant it is a over beaten concept in Tamil cinema for the hero to catch the whole media attention with all cameras of TV channels focussing on him...Sorrounded by police, he will give a long lecture which will be aired live !
Ada pongappaa...aluththu pochu. :(
oh adhunaa... agreeabul.
Also add "Desiya Geetham". That went to the level of kidnapping a CM !!
nammalaala namma area councilor-a kooda meet panna mudiyalai :-)

was listening to Thaavi thaavi-Dhoni and Vanthaley alli poo- Kansivanthaal man sivakkum back to back, Wow Enna voice!, Intha manushan kuralukku vayase aagatha? try listening both the songs back to back and feel the magic of his music.
K ,
Just reading your post of listening to Thaavi Thaavi and Vandhaale Allipoo gives me pularipps.
I will now experience it :)

பிரகாஷ் ராஜுக்கு இணையான உழைப்பு இளையராஜாவுடையது. ரொம்ப நாளைக்குப் பிறகு இந்த மாதிரி பாடல்களை, பின்னணி இசையை தமிழ் சினிமாவில் கேட்க முடிந்தது. எந்தப் பாடலுமே உறுத்தவில்லை. வெகு இயல்பாக படத்தோடு இயைந்த காட்சிகளாகவே கடந்து போகின்றன.
பாடல்களுக்கான சூழல்களைப் பாருங்கள்…
பொருளாதார கஷ்டம். ஆனால் பருவம் காத்திருக்குமா… தாயில்லாத மகள் வயசுக்கு வந்துவிடுகிறாள். தந்தைக்கு அவசரமாக தகவல் போகிறது பக்கத்து வீட்டிலிருந்து. விஷயம் தெரியாமல் அரக்கப் பரக்க வரும் அப்பாவுக்கு விஷயத்தைச் சொல்கிறார்கள். பெரும் தவிப்பு, கவலை, பாசத்துடன் கதவோரமாய் எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறார்… வெள்ளந்தியான ஒரு பூ மாதிரி உட்கார்ந்திருக்கும் மகள் மீது அவர் பார்வை பதிய… ஒரு இசைமேகம் மெதுவாக பொழிய ஆரம்பிக்கிறது… மளுக்கென்று கண்ணீர் எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறது நம் கண்களில்… அதுவே ‘வெளையாட்டா படகோட்டி…’ என பருவமடைந்த மகளுக்கான தாலாட்டாய் நீள்கிறது. ராஜாவின் மிகச் சிறந்த பாடல்களில் நிச்சயம் இதற்கும் இடமுண்டு!
நினைவின்றி வீல்சேரில் மகன்… அய்யோ மகனைப் புரிந்து கொள்ளாமல் அடித்துவிட்டோமே என்ற ஆற்றாமை… காயப்பட்ட ஒரு நெஞ்சுக்கு ஆறுதலாய்… ‘தாவித் தாவி போகும் மேகம்…’ என இசைஞானி பாட, மனம் எல்லையற்ற பரவசத்தில் தளும்புகிறது.
இசையிலிருந்து எந்தக் காட்சியையும் பிரித்துப்பார்க்க முடியாத அளவு அப்படி நெய்திருக்கிறார் பின்னணி இசையை. படிக்க மறுத்த மகனை திட்டும்போது வேக வேகமாக உச்சத்துக்குப்போகும் இசை, அவன் அடிபட்டு மருத்துவமனையில் கிடக்கும்போது, கதறுகிறது… கண்ணீர் வடிக்கிறது. இந்த காட்சிகளில் ஒரு சின்ன வார்த்தை கூட கிடையாது. இயக்குநர், வசனகர்த்தா என அத்தனை பேரையும் ‘கொஞ்சம் சும்மா இருங்க’ என சொல்லிவிட்டு இசை ஆட்சி செய்கிறது!
2012-ம் ஆண்டின் துவக்கம் மிக மிக அருமையாய் அமைந்திருக்கிறது தமிழ் சினிமா இசைக்கு

Deccan chronicle reporting that IR is composer for NEPV. Romba late pickup :)
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/chann...-ilayaraja-168
"...Very few know that Gautham is an ardent fan of Ilayaraja and when he started his production Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai, he has gone on record to DC that ‘it was the Ilayaraja factor that was a compelling point to produce the film’. ASK changed hands later, which is a different story.
Now, coming back to Neethane…, the title takes its name from the first line of one of Raja's popular songs from Ninaivellam Nithya.
To be made in Telugu and Hindi as well, Neethane… has Jiiva playing the lead in Tamil, Nani in Tollywood and Adhitya Roy Kapoor (Assi Nabey Poore Sau) in B’town with the filmmaker’s latest muse Samantha playing the female lead in all three languages..."
"...Though Gautham has not officially made an announcement about maestro Ilayaraja’s addition to the romantic trilingual, Jiiva has confirmed it in an interview."
Ayya, teaser'e vandhuchuyya with IR's name !
Thamarai pens lyrics for NEPV (from behindwoods):
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-14-02-12.html
"...it will also have lyricist Thamarai joining hands with Ilaiyaraaja for the first time. The maestro is currently busy composing for the film in his recording studio at home. Thamarai, who is penning the lyrics and Gautham are with him to give their own creative inputs. The trio are enjoying themselves thoroughly.
Ilaiyaraaja, who is known for the record pace at which he composes tunes, has already finished three songs. Gautham and Thamarai were bowled over and can't wait to hear the remaining four songs. We can't wait either. Sources say that 65 per cent of the film is complete and the rest will be filmed in Chennai and USA."

THE HINDU review of DHONI:
http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2895791.ece
"...Ilayaraja's music is very soothing and makes a thumping mark. The songs gel well with the movie and it is heartening to listen to meaningful lyrics..."
thanks,

I have never heard such a wonderful imagination about the whole middle-class population in recent times from any lyricist. Not just in this song, but I can hear some brilliant lines in every song of Dhoni. Na. Muthukumar has raised enormously in me through these songs in Dhoni. A Big salute to him. :notworthy: :notworthy:
For the benefit of those who don't understandThamizh, I am translating what he means, please correct me if it is not close enough
சந்திரனும் இருக்கு நட்சத்திரம் இருக்கு
எண்ணி எண்ணி பாரு அது வெள்ளி பணம் நமக்கு
(There is moon and stars in the sky. Count those as these are the only silver coins for us (middle-class))
தண்டவாளம் நடுவே பூத்த பூவப்போல
சோகத்திலும் சிரிப்போம் சோதனையில் முளைப்போம்
அடுத்த நாளை அடுத்த நாளாய் பார்க்கலாம்
(Like the flower which blossom in between the railway tracks (knowing its location and its end), we will also smile in-spite of all the worries and we will come out and grow even every time we are left with sadness)
(Let us approach our next day only the next day)....Brilliant!
Not just the lines are brilliant, it is also brilliantly placed! :thumbsup:

Nice to know you finally started listening to Dhoni :).
App
Seekaram kelunga Sare , you are missing out. When the great man sings Thaavi Thaavi , it just pierces your heart.
Thanks App and skr. :smile: Yes saare, seekiraama kELunga, you will be more than happy and delighted. If the lyrics on its own carries the beauty, imagine how it would in SPB's voice with his clear cut diction. On top of it Maestro takes the tune really really slow (but that doesn't mean the tune is not interesting, it adds more beauty in fact) so that we hear every bit of it clearly and no chance of missing the beautiful lyrics and singing. That's how it should be composed, no hurry business there. Three cheers! A composition miles ahead of his contemporaries!
Set your phone ringtones with the latest :)

Dhoni - wow, what a lovely score! :clap:. The opening title score's, though minimalist (just keys) is very interestingly done. Many of the emotional sequences are beautifully highlighted by the man's work. Though the movie as a whole is a dud, the usage and picturization of songs (vaangum panathukkum, SG's vilayata padagotti and thaavi thaavi) are very well done; something that happens very seldom to Raaja's songs.
CAn someone give me the Dhoni Audio release link? i yam late pickup

Hi
I have been collecting music for a long time. Not only do I collect music like most collectors, I spend a lot of time in isolating music that appeals to me. With Raja, I have been doing this and create my own favorites. Recently, I noticed that my top Raja list went to over 1,500 songs. This covers all languages, all moods. I know that folks who live in Chennai and other major TN cities do enjoy FM broadcasts that play Raja's old 1980s tracks. I was imagining myself being there and that would not satisfy me. It not only misses out his work beyond the 80s, but also his work in other languages.
I decided to create my own specialized playlist for the iPod that would span all decades and all languages. The first of this playlist was ' Raja - Peace'. This requires the collection to be playable when you want melody, solace. No loud horns, no high octave violins, no severe drumming. A number of my favorites get chopped due to these criteria. I ended up with roughly 160 tracks, that deliver the criteria that I am talking about.
I do not know of any websites that would play such a collection. Nor do I know of any radio station that would do it. I am sharing this list here so that some of the members can take it to a public broadcasting website/radio channel. I know that we all do not share the same taste and you may find some misses. Here is my collection:

Ravi,
That was great list and I can see a lot of hard work went inside, as you have listened to every song and noted it meticulously for the melody and mood accompanied with only certain instruments. As jaiganes mentioned, it is not an easy task to classify Maestro's works. If you take for example, Maestro's guitar works, we can never complete it, it will be a nightmare. Inside guitar, he has played in different fashions for different genres and in various styles. genre wise, jazz guitar, classical guitar, rock guitar, folk guitar, blues, country, ragtime, hawaiian, flemenco, celtic, and so on. Style wise, distortion guitar, phasers, electric, acoustic, synth, pizzicato and many more. All with his bestest 'Bass guitar'.
Why don't you please open a thread to discuss Maestro's various playlists, as I believe you are already studying and classifying his works?

Seems like someone in Coimbatore is digitally remastering all of his songs.
Now connecting this to his website , could this be the reason why the website is getting delayed ?
Me thinks so , nevertheless great news.
A singer by name Suri Jagan has sung for IR in NEPV & YVM. Quite interesting singer choice! Curiosity level rising !

Thanks for your response. I need to do more such work to start a thread separately on the playlists. Recently, I did another on the best of SPB from primarily Tamil, Kannada and Telugu. It covers all MDs, but the majority was Raja's compositions. I make it a point to shoot for the 150 to 160 tracks so that it will fit a 700 Mb CD, which most car players play. Not sure, where to post that list.
Thats' good to hear Ravi. There is another thread for SPB in general. Please post it here.

After listening to 'Dhoni' multiple times and hearing the BGM while my wife was watching the movie, I declare that 'thavi thavi' is the best song in the album. Not that anyone asked :) But the orchestration and its integration with the song is inch perfect. The way the violins start the song or the way they join in during the songs and the interludes. Everything has a touch of the master. The more I listen to the album the more this song becomes closer to the heart.
Review of PRASAD movie:
http://www.supergoodmovies.com/41825...review-details
"...The ustaad of film music Ilayaraja background score is the second hero of the film. The correct approach to the situations enhances the quality on the technical side. The title song and happy jaunt song are very sweet to hear..."

Aadhi sokka is making me sokkifying in every inch and seconds of the song..orchestration, rendition ..dam good song.
