IR Daasa,

Appadiyellam sollidamudiyaadhu! Namma ooru makkal rasanaye thanithaan!! Illatti, IR yedhatku Malayalam moviesla indha experiments pannavEnum?
Why dont we have producers that could venture out with IR in musical novelties, artists that could venture out in histrionics?? There are hard-core IR loyalistic producers (like KR, Siva, PanjuArunachalam, etc.,) who can try this out!! The only guy today in the tfm who is really interested in bringing out the best is Naser! Everyone else is just interested in the routine "run around the tree and love" stories!!
A North Indian like K C Mehta is interested in IR and uses his services in India 24 Hours. A malayalam movie director uses him for innovations, new attempts. But tamil guys wouldnt do that!!
Ulagathuleye yaaru Mottaiya sariya purinjukkaleynnu kEtta adhu TAMILANdhan!!! If this same IR had been born in any other state other than TamilNadu, you know how he would have blossomed?
Ipdi irukkumbodhu yeppadi mottaikku symphony release panna dhairiyam varum?? Nammai sutri iruppargal pEsum vasanam enna theriyumaa??
" I love IRs music. Yes,he did great things.....
but you see ARR is great becos....but IR you see is just great there... you see but ARRs music is.....waw no one can beat ARRs modernisa....but you see IR is just great...let me tell you what big did IR do? You know MSV has done all that.... But IRs those melodies are OH! Great! Just unbelievable....Its haunting you forever, i say....But IR is not ........."

No wonder IR won two of his three national awards for Telugu movies.

No wonder Suhasini declares that she likes IR music the best but chooses ARR for Indira. No wonder Suhasini denounces Vairamuthu in Kumudam but he is the lyricist of choice.

Dear friends , naan sollappovadhu konjam controversial aaga irukkalaam, but forgive me if you find it unacceptable - first thing is this - Illayaraja comes from a village - and mind you he has no parental background in music - and also note that when IR came into the field, the field was outright dominated by the so-called upper caste people in TN. The very fact that someone from a village has struggled and then come up in this music field is something for which IR must have shed blood. Even now IR is being ostracised mainly because of his CASTEIST background, because even now the TF industry is dominated by the forward caste group. This is what I have observed .

Madhan, An ardent fan of Illayaraja,
GOA.

This is simply superb!

Whether you believe it or not, daily I pray to
Lord Venkateswara and ILaiyaraaja
Do you find any difference in the above two names?
Hi Hi Hi!!!!! Only literally.....know

The most sweetest name to utter is "Illayaraja"
