Vetrimaaran oru bayangara peter.. He talks mostly in English in his interviews which is totally unwarranted.. I thought that GVP did give relevant music in Aayirathil Oruvan and Veyil.. It didnt look out of place then.. The Blame should fall peter-paandi Vetrimaaran only..

I know it is out of context, but suresh did you like "anjaadhe" BGM, I think it was one of the best scores by budding MDs like Sunder C Babu ( no other young budding MDs have given score like that in their third or 4 th movie except probably Karthik raja). That was also one tamil movie i wished had a great budget and good locales ( like Vetrimaaran used for Polladhavan) with some Hungary orchestra music ( like our beloved Mottai) would have been a movie in the list of some of teh hall of fame kind.
I agree GVP's Polladhavan score and the well made period movie Madarasa pattanam were extremely poor ( nothing stood out and infact spoiled in many places).
These two movies are my add on for the list of movies i wished had ilaiyaraja's BGM.
I stil can't imagine a movie like "Vedam pudhidhu" which had some very powerful sequences lacking the soul touching Raja's BGM

--IR fan

Anonymous IR fan - Yes. I liked anjaadhey BGM. From his films, even Nadodigal, Sundar C Babu seems to be a composer who is more interested in background score than the songs. In his interviews for Thoongaanagaram, he was talking more about the background score of the film.

But, when I wrote about Anjaadhey BGM in this blog, someone commented that it is copied from James Newton Howard's score for 'The Signs'. There definitely is some inspiration but not a blatant copy.

I have not listened yet. came here through your article on solvanam.com about Nandalala's BG score. The article was excellent and thanks for that.

About GVP, one inappropriate usage I found was in the movie madarasa pattinam. Its an historic period movie, in that when the hero shows various places in chennai to heroine, "ammaa thurai ammma" song he has used a singer from North who sounds very alien. Here he should have used some one sounds similar to TMS/PBS or that kind.

GVP used the Godfather main theme in many scenes BGM. the songs might be huge hit but needs to improve miles in BGM.

your review is as beautiful as your nose!!!

I regret for the damn thing happened in film adukalam, i always try to rip scores from IR collection ,unfortunately vetrimaran came with bunch cds of ennio moricone. so i did it.

so called 'gv-prakash' - I already had a detailed conversation about this with GVP through e-mail. So, I know what he feels about this issue.

I couldn't believe tamil musicians could be so blatant in copying scores.How could GV even can think of putting the God father scores which are familiar to the entire world and that too for scened with tamil rural back ground?

yaathe yaathe song copied from "bolo bolo .. ' by susheela raman salt rain .

i dont thing many directors discuss the finer aspects of music with music director,they accept the gross form of it,because many of them are mere spectors like us
