hahahahaha! My prediction seems to be coming true. NEPV seems to be just a reason to work with Raaja. Looks like it is almost a remake of VTV but with Raaja's music.

Did the Hindi film "Happi," for which IR did the music, ever release? What about the soundtrack? The trailer featured some amazing orchestral music, and the film looks pretty good too.

Raja Mattum.
Telugu version of the film (Yeto vellipoyindi manasu) has been getting mostly positive reviews. Some reviewers loved the film. As usual, heaps of praises on Maestro.
I have seen the film. Though the fanboy in me is disappointed in the BGM department, the film as such is not bad, if you put up with the slow pace. GVM shot a few songs very well... "Laayi laayi", "Yententa dooram", "Koti koti" are a delight.. especially the first one. The film is way too verbose... offering very little scope for BGM. GVM seems to rely on dialoges more than expressions. There is not much Raja can do when the lead characters keep bickering through out the film. Over all, not bad.

Yes, but it only enhances the impact. For example "laaayi laayi" (Vaanam mella) runs for almost 10 mins, with an extra interlude & a bit of charanam without the vocals.
"Atu itu" (Mudhal murai) is played multiple times instead of BGM in some scenes. GVM shot most songs in an unconventional way. Impressive!
Super positive reviews pouring in...

"Ilayaraja was a perfect choice for this. Every song is different from one another and comes at right place. His re-recording is a lesson to the new age music directors. Poor chaps will be ashamed of themselves after watching this film."
