Hi all, As mentioned by Gopal in his earlier mail, ARR won the best Music Director Award at the Sunfeast Tamil Music Awards, held yesterday.
Director Shankar, actress Gautami and Shruti Hassan (kamal's daughter) presented the award to ARR. ARR started off by saying "ella pugazhum iraivanukke" (all praise belongs to God) and then thanked everyone for the award. He said that while answering questions from the readers of a tamil weekly**, he noticed there were many questions about movie songs in the past being melodious and the current songs lacking melody. Hence he realised that there's a communication gap - a gap about what the audience want and what is given to them as film music. Since there are so many constraints while making film music, it's not possible to give what exactly the audience are looking for. To fill this gap, through KM Music Label, he is going to come up with albums which will satisfy the audience in terms of melody. Earlier, ARR presented the best female singer award to Chithra. ** The tamil weekly ARR was talking about, is "Kumudam". ARR's answers to readers' questions was published in the latest issue of Kumudam, the transcripts and scans of which were also posted by Vithur couple of days back. (The award function was a major mess-up in terms of organising. After all the hype and after inviting all the big names, it was a big let down.
