Composer Ilaiyaraaja has composed music for just a handful of Hindi films.But now, he seems to be taking Hindi films bit more seriously than before. He is dishing out about 2 films (there is one more i guess) very soon. Both the film-makers hail from South - RamGopal Varma & Balkrishnan.
While RamGopal Varma's film is titled as "Shiva"(a retro) , Balkrishnan's film, starring Big-B and Tabu, has a very strange title-"Cheeni Kum".

ReplyDelete"Waiting to see how well he does a Hindi film."...
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on how "bollywoodish" and "philmy-ish" are the producer, director and partygaL.
Waiting for your reaction on Shiva Aakarsh.
ReplyDeleteI did not like the songs initially other than Dheemi Dheemi...but having heard them again and again and in 'good' quality versions...I am very impressed. Really impressed.
