@alien_987 Sorry brother, I respectfully disagree. "Athe John Williams kaalathu music" and your message seem to contradict each other.

@alien_987 Also, he is the only composer to have received AFI lifetime achievement award in 2016. Please do watch the AFI videos if you haven't brother. It is so heart warming. He is 94 years old and still writes score and conducts it. My respect and salute for him.

@alien_987 Theme from Memoirs of Geisha & Schindlers List still brings me to tears. I'm unable to call it old music and it will be an injustice to John Williams. I have no knowledge on music with active listening to music across decades equally appreciating DC by Anirudh,it makes you feel.

@SridharRavi90 And Raaja's music acting as a unifying force of all that combined. Thought of acknowledging Soori's acting & Vetrimaaran's screenwriting

[Balakrishnan Kandasamy @regeneration619]

@SridharRavi90 Sir, just felt like saying this, we both love Raaja. Cinema is an collaborative art from while Raaja's music is deeply his personal art. Transformation of Kumaresan is influenced by Vetrimaaran's screenplay,Events leading upto this scene especially desperation to save Tamilarasi

@sansanr7 @SridharRavi90 Will conclude for today by saying this. @sudhirsrinivasn sir said in a show that "Anyone who listens to IR cannot harm another fellow human being". @Sylvianism sir often said "Thank you IR for keeping my sanity". I guess that's all it matters when it comes to music-song/score.

@sansanr7 @SridharRavi90 One of the few instances where I appreciated Seeman's speech is for MooduPani climax song. Seeman said "Villianu hero va mathi, Kadhai ah kaaviya ma maathitaaru". Please watch the movie if you haven't watched yet, I was into tears in the climax song.

@SridharRavi90 Sorry sir if I might have missed some of your posts. I watched this interview. Along with the techniques, he said "Raaja understands the human condition" in a way others couldn't. And those emotions are exemplified in Raaja's music. It just got stuck to me.

[Balakrishnan Kandasamy @regeneration619]

@SridharRavi90 For me, I started listening to Harris- KaakhaKaakha,Yuvan-KadhalKoden,ARR-many albums,GVP-many albums,Anirudh-3. After listening to Raaja,there is no walking away. With all due respect to other composers(I liked Anirudh-DC recently),i need Raaja songs like air and water for me.

[Balakrishnan Kandasamy @regeneration619]

@SridharRavi90 @anandhan_k_k I agree to this sir. It was a warm interaction with a 11 year old for the bed time night listen. Kid wanted some dance songs and I wanted how else to name it/do anything instrumental of Raaja. After listening, kid said he likes it and the kid does not know who Raaja is.
