In my Must Buy List

Titanic is THE all time favorite movie of mine. Nearly after 7 years of its release a complete special collector’s DVD edition has been released this year with lots and lots of special features. Again, it got released in US and in other major international markets but not yet in India. Eagerly waiting to grab this DVD.

Water Album



Actually I have heard the songs of this album online. It has great melodies from A.R. Rahman. Never heard ARR using very less instruments with great emphasis on melody before except for some songs like “En mel vizhundha mazhai thuli” and “Vellai pookal”. It is a must buy for any hardcore ARR fan. I don't know why they haven't released it yet in India.

Lagaan DVD



I am really surprised to know that VCD and DVD rights of “Lagaan” are not yet sold for Indian market. Lagaan is also THE all time favorite Indian movie of mine. Don’t know what is the problem in releasing it. Even the DCD of “Mangal Pandey” has got released. I expect a complete package DVD for Lagaan like that of Titanic. I hope they would include national award winning documentary “Chale Chalo – Spirit of Lagaan” along with the movie in the DVD. Also director’s commentary would add some value.


Illayaraja Concert DVD

Recently held Illayaraja Concert in Chennai delighted around 10000 hard-core fans of Illayaraja. Now negotiation is going on between ilayarajafans yahoo groups and Jaya TV to release the whole concert in a DVD. And it seems jaya TV has accepted to give the rights. The DVD will definitely be a great treat for all IR fans.
