Hi Prashanth I also read the same article.. What U are saying may be true. But according to me, I think ARR sees the script, and if he is convinced that he can transform the movie by making it more viewable through his Music, he takes a film.
well, there are films done by ARR in Tamil, which do have a good screen play like Ayidha Ezhithu or for that matter any Maniratnam film. even dir Kadhir does a good job in his films, and ARR is favourite for Kadhir . Very rarely, ARR does masala movies in Tamil. ATM was also lil different for it was a sure different film even for Vijay. SOK may be a different case. ARR is big and grand and there is no need for his work to get related to a success of a film in Box Office. Irrespective of a film not doing well, there are films which run only for the sake of ARR's Music, BGMs etc On 1/13/08, prashanth.palanisamy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi one and all, > well i was reading a article in hindu today morning...in the sunday > supplement there was an article about the changing times for both > kollywood(yuch!!!!).... and bollywood(yuch yuch!!)....and how cinema > with strong content and screenplay were doing well rather than inane > movies with big stars....all the movies they spoke about were actually > good....like paruthiveeran,mozhi,kallori,chennai 600028, etc etc...my > issue is that one common denominator missing was -ARRs name......i > think in hindi he has no problem..the movies ARR does are really > good..successful or not...but in tamil he does only masala movies(now > i.e)....like say SIVAJI,SOK and ATM ..im not against the actors or the > movies ....i just think ARR should also work with the lesser but > talented directors ....what say???? > > > -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE ABODE OF DIVINE MUSIC
