லட்சுமி மஞ்சு தெலுங்கில் தயாரித்த படம் குண்டெல்லோ கோடாரி. குமார் நாகேந்திரா இயக்கிய இந்தப் படத்தில் ஆதி, டாப்சி, சந்தீப் நடித்துள்ளனர். இளையராஜா இசையமைத்துள்ளார்.

தெலுங்கில் ஏற்கெனவே பாடல்கள் சூப்பர் ஹிட்டாகிவிட்டன.

இந்தப் படம் தமிழில் மறந்தேன் மன்னித்தேன் என்ற பெயரில் வெளியாகியுள்ளது. இந்தப் படத்தை ரஜினிக்காக அவரது வீட்டில் உள்ள திரையரங்கில் போட்டுக் காட்டினார் லட்சுமி மஞ்சு.

படம் பார்த்த சூப்பர் ஸ்டார், புதுமையான கதை, சிறப்பான இசை, ரசித்துப் பார்த்தேன் என பாராட்டியுள்ளார்.

Ilaiyaraaja chips in with some lovely music in the background, especially a guitar-based stretch towards the end. But there are too many songs, and the visuals (plaid-skirted backup dancers playing trumpets) don’t help. He also recycles his ‘Aasaya kaathula’ from Johny — only this time, we have Mumait Khan shaking booty so vigorously you’re afraid her limbs are going to fly off. At least the title is perfect. That’s what the audience is murmuring while walking out.

படத்தில் உயிர்ப்புடன் தெ‌ரிவது கலை இயக்கமும், வெள்ளப்பெருக்கை சி‌ஜி-யில் உருவாக்கியிருப்பதும். குறிப்பிட வேண்டிய இன்னொன்று இளையராஜாவின் பின்னணியிசை. பல இடங்களில் இளையராஜாவின் இசை, படம் தரும் அயர்ச்சியை தாண்டி கவர்கிறது. குறிப்பாக மஞ்சு எந்த தவறும் செய்யவில்லை என்பதை மகேஷ் உணரும் தருணம். கிளாஸ்.

ஜானி படத்தில் மகேந்திரன் அற்புதமாக படமாக்கிய ஆசைய காத்துல தூதுவிட்டு.... பாடலை ரெக்கார்ட் டான்ஸ் அளவுக்கு தரம்தாழ்த்தி, அதைவிட தரம்தாழ்ந்த கேமரா கோணத்தில், வேறு வார்த்தைகள் போட்டு பயன்படுத்தியிருக்கிறார்கள். இளையராஜா எப்படி ஒத்துக் கொண்டார்? எதற்காக இல்லாவிட்டாலும் இந்த ஒன்றுக்காக இந்தப் படத்தை மறக்கவோ மன்னிக்கவோ முடியாது

For the uninitiated, the composer of the music on this record is also a master craftsman who throughout the 1980s combined his off-the-wall ideas and sky high expectations using craft, experimental technology and a trusted team of participants to help concoct some truly bizarre local produce in mass quantity without compromise. Ilaiyaraaja, known to his family as Gnanadesikan, and to many of his zillion strong fanbase as Isaignani (meaning musical genius in Tamil) represents the epitome of a nostalgic national treasure especially fora single solo composer in the Tamil micro music industry.

His euphoric electrified music of the 70s and 80s (and beyond) captures every essence of joy and jubilation and is still used in celebration as much as it is celebrated in its own right. Ilaiyaraaja, a man of humble physical stature, sparsely equipped with a self-sufficient studio of compact electronic devices literally commands celebration with his single handed symphonies.

Defying any fair comparisons in the Western world (besides inadequate parallels to Joe Meek and Jean-Pierre Massiera) it is also virtually impossible to find similar electronic mavericks in the East. Imagine a mixture between Turkey’s Ilhan Mimaroglu and the acidic synthesiser ragas of Charanjit Singh and you're still left short of the songs. Essentially, Ilaiyaraaja is to the local Kollywood film industry what RD Burman / Bappi Lahiri or M. Ashraf / Tafo are to Bollywood and Lollywood, but then remember that Ilaiyaraaja is a one-man band, with a single vision and zero competition.

This compilation reveals more tasty treats from Finders Keepers ongoing obsession with The Crown Prince Of Tamil Pop, focusing on his growth in the mid-1980s as a confident young composer adding freak pop fuel to the flickering flame of Kodambakkam’s Kollywood film industry, while embracing domestic synthesiser technology and fusing the power of electro and synth pop to his Carnatic canon.

Available for the first time ever away from their original rare as hen’s teeth, impossible to find Indian vinyl releases.

Another hallmark of the film is that the music and the background score has been composed by renowned music director Ilayaraja. Apart from being screened in tent theatres, Touring Talkies will also be in regular movie screens. It will also be showcased at the Holland and Los Angeles film festivals.

Yesteryear's director, who is known for his silver jubilee films like 'Vaidhegi Kaathirunthal', 'Mella Thirandhathu Kadhavu', 'Seethanam', and many more such movies, has come back to the industry for another round.

Now, he is said to be directing a movie on a child's perspective, titled 'Nila Choru'. The child's role will be played by Sara of 'Deiva Thirumagal' fame. The film also has Vasundara and Prakash to its star cast. Since an impeccable background score is in demand, the director has roped in none less than the composer Isaignani Ilayaraja, for the music.

Looks, like everything is in place. Meanwhile, Ilayaraja is busy with a Bollywood project, with Balki.

Singing for Ilayaraja

I still can’t believe that I’ve sung in three movies for him. I went to his studio for a voice test after Haricharan suggested my name to him. I sang a bhajan. He just listened and didn’t say anything. He told his team to give me a solo song! I have sung for him in the Tamil movies Nilachoru, which is ready for release, and Sree Ramanujar and a Marathi movie Touring Talkies .

Comedy may be the current flavour in Kollywood, but when ace director-turned-actor R Sundarrajan decided to make a return to direction after a 12-year gap, he chose a family theme for his venture. Thus was born Chitraiyil Nila Choru, which is a story centred around a father’s love for his daughter.

...

What’s special about the film is that Ilayaraja has scored music yet again for Sundarrajan. The duo have been a hit combination in over 15 films and Sundarrajan is thrilled to have worked with the legend again.

1. Chiththirai NilachOru (Since the title says chiththirai months that is from April14-May14, we should expect its audio soon).
2. Naadi thudikkuthadi (some time in June, as per the news).
3. Megha (again in June).

Long pending Touring Talkies is also due, but not sure about the dates. Prakash Raj's Ulavucharu Briyani might follow next. By August we should also have Sathyan's next malayalam offering. Rudramma Devi not sure if it is slated this year or next year. Same with Balki's next film. There was also a talk about another telugu film with Pavan Kalyan.

Please add if I have missed any.

The renowned movie on the running tent cinema ‘Touring Talkies’ has now made the entire country in awe by taking part in the race for Oscar 2014. The makers of the movie have already entrusted the job of projecting the movie to the global level with All Lights Film Services.

World renowned Indian musician Ilayaraja has composed the music for ‘Touring Talkies’. He remains one of the most popular composers to have emerged from India.

Most renowned technicians from India like Cinematographer Amol Gole who became a pioneer in digital film making through DSLR cameras, Ballu Saluja, a well appreciated award winning editor who has edited LAGAAN which was nominated at OSCARS in 2002 etc are part of this prestigious film.
