Just because these two scenes to work in two different languages. In Telugu, it’s Hamsadwani and in Tamil it’s Suddha Dhanyasi. Gemini’s character later scolds him for changing the ragas and says they are Himsadwani and Asuddha Dhanyasi. Just #ilaiyaraaja things

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.

2 min instrumental prelude with trance mix. A folk melody tune in the front and this end portion - the lyrics can be interpreted either for the character or Goddess Meenatchi or Bhavatharini. I will take it as the latter. Also, KS is guarding the Dorothy character well :)

Humility is just mediocrity’s safety net. A kind of a social rule that tells the exceptional to apologise for knowing they are exceptional. Mozart understood it - “No. But I’m the best.” #Ilaiyaraaja knows it too. If you have a problem, that’s yours, not his.

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

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.

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.

எல்லா இடமும்தான் Sweetu, உன் நாக்குல முள் இருந்தா நாங்க என்ன பன்றது ;) It’s that simple :) #ilaiyaraaja

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)

The Flac Monkey Podcasts on #Ilaiyaraaja are nice but they are rife with factual errors. There were so many in the first one but this one in the second is nonsense. Ilaya Nila was the original and a simple search would have helped. Look at the mythical story that guy is creating.

Like Mu Metha says - அந்த ஆளு இங்க பொறந்ததுதான் தப்பு! We have a problem of not celebrating genius. #ilaiyaraaja

Why should I explain? I will let mmkeeravaani explain why #ilaiyaraaja is the god! Not the king but the god!

The quintessential Ilaiyaraaja song for Bhagyaraj :)

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.

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? ;)
