What Bala said was his films doesn't require ARR's music...which I think he meant in a positive way.
The simple reason why I love ARR's music more than anyone else is because of the majestic and grandiose feel he manage to bring out in his music. His music is grand, at most times, grander than the films itself. Does scripts like Enaku 20 Unaku 18, Tajmahal, Boys, Yuvaraj or Sakarakatti deserve the songs they've had? I don't think so. The scripts were bad and the only time people actually refer to these movies...it's because of the wonderful songs the films had. Bala on the other hand tend to be come out with a more serious, rustic and down-to earth films packed with hard-hitting scripts. I'm not saying that Bala doesn't give importance to music but I feel that music does not play a central role in his films. The songs and bgm complement the script and that's about it. In fact, when you come out from the cinemas after watching a Bala's film, you tend to look at his film as a whole...there's no special reference to the music alone. It's sort of like, even without the music, his film can stand alone but it's not the other way around. And that's why he doesn't require ARR's music. But now that he wants to work with ARR, it just goes on to show that finally, music is going to play a central role in his film. It's definitely going to be different this time...with grander music... --- On Thu, 9/24/09, murali ramakrishnan <[email protected]> wrote: From: murali ramakrishnan <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [arr] Director Bala has plans about working with ARR To: "arrahmanfans" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, September 24, 2009, 9:20 AM bala is considered to be one of the best directors of tamil film industryand a gr8 worshipper of raja. if he wanted to work with arrahmanthen e.one can realise the importance of arr anna in the tamil film industrynot only for business purpose but also a good musician to work witha fantastic human to move with. hope this will come true muralicoimbatore To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com From: dinesh.theboss@ hotmail.com Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:58:10 +0000 Subject: Re: [arr] Director Bala has plans about working with ARR it seems the next project of Bala is a comedy film.
