Srinivas was great.

Sreenivas was singing "Poovinai Thiranthukondu" from the movie of Aanandha Thandavam. Some reason he was tensed while he was singing some of highnote of the song.

I could see ARR was so happy to see GV Prakash's performance.

I only saw Srinivas performing Minsara Poove. It was really nice.

I just heard the GVP song performance, sounds really off!!

It is unfair to say AR has forgotten his home land.

what is it about the Om Shanthi Om loss? in this below link

The Om Shanti Om loss doesn’t rankle. Seriously. “Earlier, I used to be happy with just film music. It used to pay well. I used to get all the equipment I needed. But when things like 9/11 or Iraq happened, or even the bomb blasts in India, you find that the mind can do anything. And music is a power through which you can influence a mind. Music is one of the very few things that can give you hope.”

So, rather than giving statements in papers, Rahman chose a friendlier route – doing a song. “There are bigger problems in life. Let’s handle those instead of getting into petty fights that can hinder the progress of family or country.” Clearly, Om Shanti Om isn’t just a movie title anymore. It’s an existential mantra.

hi leosimha.. u know how the system works here.. the composers get paid a small sum of money and that's it.. unlike in professional terms where composers get royalty for the sales of their work.. surely ARR could have added another hit to his list.. money wasn't his priority.. he wanted other composers to get their rights.. That's why he refused to work for OSO unless they agreed to pay royalties to the composer.. a noble thought

and thanks for sharing the article
