welcome to the group. ARR-Rajni combo is something which every tamil speaking person simply lap up and if you don't speak tamil it may not really appeal to you in the first listen because the music is made keeping in view Rajni's image more than anything. But that is where our boss comes out top, satisfy Rajni fans and also give great music. Rajni is a kind of hero who is popular among all classes of people in Tamil Nadu and you can't expect him to emote like Kamal or any other great actor so the music has to fit his image. Here ARR comes tops. So listen to Muthu, Baba and Padayappa again with Rajni's image in mind and you will start liking it. My personal favourites are Muthu's into song and all songs of Padayappa, especially Oho kicku yerudhe. Man, amazing dancing by Rajni and KSR and amazing lyrics. rminds of tap dance numbers from Hollywood movies.

Subject: [arr] Re: Shankar ropes in A R Rahman for Sivaji

hi guys and gals out there, ive a new member of the group and as i've
been going thru the postings about ARR composing for rajini are chart
toppers, muthu, padayappa and baba... as ive heard them all in
malaysia, it really reminded me of the ARRs worst songs poll... not
sounding mean or anything, but i feel that rajini and ARR dont make a
good combo by default, and thus the songs turn out the way they r. As
ive read in one of ARR's interview, Muthu songs we created in a rush
and they r just average, hummable yes but not very memorable. As for
padayappa only the classical piece minsara kanna is catchy the rest
just ok, and Baba, one track inspired from punjabi music, and the
rest nothing of the ARR style. Therefore i wouldnt be eargerly
waiting for this new ARR-rajini combo.

All said, compared to these movies, i'd rather listen to songs from
Sangamam and and Indira, with the classical yet contemporary pieces
being so mindblowing!!
