San_K,
Regardless of what the figures were a few years back, the current position of ARR in TN does not seem to be the same.
He may not be able to do another sakkarakkatti today and seems to lean upon Rajinikanth / Shankar / Maniratnam kind of names to "re-start".
Interestingly, that kind of 're-start' is possible even for a 69 year old, as amply demonstrated by Gautam :-)
hmmm and ARR is clever, we can use our single hand fingers to count his low profile films. oru vidha myth creat pannnittaaru
Perfectly Put..that is egggggjactly what i was trying to argue...
>Sales has lot to do with lots of non music things these days
>There is no major ARR exclusive market in tamil now
But athula namma Raja vooda greatness ennana..
Other MDs would do anything for such a restart..But Raja doesnt compromise at all..
GVM, AVM yevana irunthalum... i will do my music only..
Vikkrathu avan vela..sarakku sariya irukrathu mattum than en velai...
Guys vevaramaa meesikkalaa pesunga..
personality discussion 'hubbukku' aagaadhu. sollipputtaen.
CD sales paththi naama yeppa kavala patrukkOm?
Leaving that aside - I was listening to 'Naan porandha neramaa" from "KannukkuLLe" - suddenly started humming out
"Satru munbu's charanam" - same feeling - nice pathos...
Guys, futile discussion.
App, If even ARR can't do sakkarakkatti's now I don't think any other MD can. ARR is still the #1 w.r.to sales and there is no point in trying to downplay it here.
Raaja was nowhere in the picture before NEPV. His previous thamizh film, the mp3s were given for free. That NEPV beat VTV audio rights is a great thing for sure. But CD sales, I don't think even 10% of the general public buy CDs these days.
Sales etc., don't matter here. Raaja lost it long back / I am extremely glad that he is back to #1 now, but his next may not even be sold for Rs.5001. But what matters is the quality and NEPV is better than any album released in the 2010s and that's exactly what we need.
I mean compare Sakkarakatti Vs Mayilu Vs Muththirai (Yuvan film) Vs Sathiyam (Harris). There is no comparison. Sakkarakatti sales might be 10x more than the other 3 combined. So let's drop this here.
am not privvy to the origins of this discussion reg sales figures etc etc
my cents: IR cannot be blamed for not having an astute business sense, in the present times - as Kamal said abt him 'avarukku vyaabaaram theriyaadhu' - at the same time, NOT having a sound business sense, does not strip him away from his unparalleled genius!
in the ultimate analysis, its perhaps the cash ringing in, that matters - even there, am not sure if IR has ever failed a producer/director who came to him for a genuine creative output, as GVM did !
OK Guys. Lets get out of the speculative sales stuff and get back to the topic of this thread.
Just heard from a friend that the Malayalam magazine, 'Vanitha' has a 5 page interview of Raja. The person interviewing him is Sathyan Anthikad. I don't know about this magazine and not sure if it has an online presence. Can someone find this out and do a simple translation for the rest of us. Would love to know what Sathyan asks Raja. (app and rajaalltheway are the obvious targets.)
ENNAMO Sakkarakkatti super duper hit album maathiri build-up kodukkureengappa. I know 1 song was super hit and some others were hit. But adhukkaaga CD sales pichukkiccchunu adichu vidaatheengappa :lol2:
San_K,
Sakkarakatti is not a super duper hit album. The only big name in that film was ARR. Hero/Heroine/Director were newcomers. And you know how the film was. Enlisted by Times Magazine as 'One film you must watch before you die'. (Because after watching it you may not be alive). In spite of all this, the album was a hit. Reason, you know. I don't think any MD operating now can manage that feat.
Somebody pointed out James Vasanthan and Subramaniapuram. The movie was a super hit and hence the song(s) got a reach. What happened to his Naanayam and Yaadhumagi?
Suresh Sir,
Vanitha is published by the famous Malayala Manorama group, check out their website.
ajay, point taken
Sakkarakatti,ARR was the only thing remembered about that crap film.inspite of that audio was chartbuster(ajay notepannumjga).there are albums like varanam ayiram,paiya where film succes also played role
Btw be CD sales/hit songs its actually a rare feat at that time for non star/shankar/mani film particularly before movie release album has generated big hype only to dissappoint with otherwise lame picture
As Nerd and irir rightly pointed out, sales has nothing to do with quality (Even Nakka Mukka and Kolaveri have set some sort of records). That's why in ARR threads, we hardly discuss sales numbers. You know how the whole discussion started here. :)
nakka mookka is itself an example of a random MD fuelling a film to success, isnt it? ippollAm enna vENA nadakkalAm(manasa dhidamA vechukOngO - even Dhina might give the most selling album of 2010s. edhuvumE qualitya poRuththu illai). idhula ivar mattum dhAN kuppaiya gopuram AkkuvArnu solRa nelamaila illai. apdiye irundhAlum, indha thappai 80sla 100 dhadavaikku mEla paNNinavarudaiya forum idhu.

It is good that FLIPKART has released the MP3 of puthiya theerangal. Previously we used to struggle to get the original cds.
Even now when the original cds are released in the market we will buy them. FLIPKART is a real blessing
I second you kamesh! I think flipkart is racing with mp3 rippers, when it comes to providing mp3s quickly. I was surprised to find NEPV mp3s even before the CDs were available for sale. In that way, people can buy mp3s to get a taste of what's in for them and interested people can buy CDs as well.
I ended up buying mp3s of both NEPV & YVM and then CDs of both versions again :-D all on flipkart

திலகனுகாகவே சத்ரியன் படம் பலமுறை பார்த்திருக்கிறேன். அந்த படத்தில் மலையாள தமிழில் அவர் பேசும் அத்தனை வசனங்களும் அழகு, எனக்கு அத்துபடி. நல்ல நடிகர். R.I.P
raja_fan: மூனாம்பக்கம் படலை அறிமுகபடுத்தியதர்க்கு கோடி நன்றி.. கடந்த ஒரு மணி நேரமாக அந்த பாடலை தான் கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். பைத்தியம் பிடித்தது போல் இருக்கிறது. கொஞ்ச நேரத்தில், என் நண்பர்களுக்கெல்லாம் இந்த பாடலை அனுப்பி விட்டேன்.
R_F,
I didn't know IR was the MD of Moonam Pakkam. Thought it was Johnson, who was the composer of Padmarajan's other films. Excellent movie complimented by equally excellent score. :clap:
On googling, I also found IR composed for yet another Padmarajan film. Season.
Raja sir is the music director for Moonam Pakkam.. see the titles below.

Ajay,
Padamarajan had different music directors I guess. Johnson, Perumbavoor Ravindranath and Raja. I don't have the energy to check up but I think Raja was also involved in another Padmarajan movie which did not have songs. 'Moonam Pakkam' had two songs and 'Season' also had two songs. 'Moonam Pakkam' is an all classic with some amazing BGM by Raja.
Gundello Godari up for Dussehra release: http://articles.timesofindia.indiati...mil-production
Dussehra is on 24th Oct. Which means the music can be out atleast 10 days before that.
So 3 weeks after NEPV, we have Puthiya Theerangal and roughly about 3 weeks from now, we have Gundello Godari (if everything goes as per their announcements).hmm!
1991'ல் வெளிவந்த புது மனிதன் திரைபடத்தில் நிலவுக்கு தாலாட்டு என்கிற பாடலை அண்ணன் தேவா அவர்கள் போட்டிருந்தார்கள். இன்று வரை அவர் இசை அமைத்த பாடல்களில் எனக்கு பிடித்த நான்கு அல்லது ஐந்து பாடல்களில் இதுவும் ஒன்று. அந்த பாடலில் வரும் ஹம்மிங் கேட்கும் போதெல்லாம் நான் சொக்கி போய் விடுவேன்.
அடிக்கடி நான் கேட்கும் பிற இசை அமைப்பாளர்களின் பாடல்களில் நிலவுக்கு தாலாட்டும் மிக முக்கியமான ஒன்று.
raja_fan புண்ணியத்தில் இன்று 1988'ல் வெளிவந்த மூணாம் பக்கம் படத்தில் இடம் பெற்ற "உணருமெய் கானம்" பாடல் கேட்ட பிறகு தான், அண்ணன் தேவா அவர்கள் எங்கிருந்து நிலவுக்கு தாலாட்டை பெற்று தந்தார் என்று புரிகிறது. 21 ஆண்டுகளாக நான் ஏமாந்து கொண்டிருந்த கதையை எங்கே போய் சொல்வது? அண்ணன் தேவா அவர்கள் நிச்சயம் புத்திசாலி தான்.
rajaramsgi,
Also listen to 'thamarakilli paadunnu' from 'Moonam Pakkam'. Amazing song.
