Just before Mundhanai Mudichu, Pandiarajan, Livingston, and GM Kumar left Bhagyaraj to make Kanni Raasi. This scene was Bhagyaraj’s response. They returned the favour by casting a Bhagyaraj lookalike in Kanni Raasi and asking for his forgiveness.

There is a reason why #Ilaiyaraaja was the only person who can get what Bharathiraja wants to convey in a scene. The edit pattern he had made sense in his head and only Raaja could get it. There are a lot of such scenes. One example from En Uyir Thozhan.

There are only a handful of people who can truly say they changed the industry they worked in. #Bharathiraja was one of them. A fearless maverick with absolute confidence in his craft. Ignored conventions, rewrote rules and changed grammar. The OG. Thanks for making movies.

Nagesh - the best actor Tamil cinema ever produced and can never match. I guess even Kamal Haasan will agree :)

The #PaRanjith Video and the subsequent reactions are interesting. Galatta releases YT shorts from a 3 3-year-old interview. He uses the paper cup example to indicate that the discrimination is invisible (he uses அரூபம்), and that part is specifically edited out.

Ahaan :) The switching of the light and fighting was copied from Black Belt Jones, a spiritual sequel to Enter The Dragon, directed by Robert Clause. Jim Kelly was the first black Martial arts film star. Staging it seems! (Posted this in 2023)

Day 21: I have already posted one from this serial long back (check in thread). This is from another episode called Kutti Anand. Check out how the theme transforms. #ilaiyaraaja TV Series: Penn (1991) Director: Suhasini Maniratnam

Editor Lenin, in this interview, says that Thenpandi Cheemayile was not supposed to make it to the final cut. Mani and Kamal felt that it was too folkish for the movie. But Lenin used the song to reduce the movie's footage. #ilaiyaraaja weaved the score based on that song.

I do not gate keep. I share and convert. If you ask whether there is a Tamil album where Asha Bhosle sang all the female parts, yes, it exists. Naan Sonnathe Sattam. I dare you to watch the video song. #Ilaiyaraaja

Harris Jayaraj ippa ellam western songs kekrathilla pola! Edhukku effort pottutu, ingeye uruviduvom! Also, don’t come at me saying this is Kapi Raga. Chinna Chinna Vanna Kuyil and Kanne Kalaimane too based on same Raaga.

Thaman has sampled the flute bit from Aasai Nooru Vagai. The complete theme is yet to be out but guess there will be more. That flute bit is too striking to miss. #Ilaiyaraaja

According to me this is the most melancholic Tamil lyric ever written - கையிலதான் வச்சிருந்தா தவறி அது போகுமின்னு மடியில நான் வைச்சிருந்தேன் மடியுமின்னு நெனக்கலியே #Bhavatharini

After four years of toiling, many sleepless nights and sacrifices (of mine and people close to me), I have successfully defended my thesis. So, officially, I have become a Doctor (of course, there are minor corrections). Should I mark myself as Doctor on the profile or not? ;)

Penn (1991) is an anthology series directed by Suhasini and had music from #Ilaiyaraaja. The episode titled Love Story later became a full length movie - Dumm Dumm Dumm (2001). Series or movie, the quality of the score doesn’t change for Raaja :)

In Manadhil Urudhi Vendum (1987), Surya(Sridhar), a writer, uses fiction to impress Nandhini (Suhasini). What binds the meta fiction and the main story is the love theme. A veena and flute led score that quietly stitches both worlds together. #ilaiyaraaja
