why South India has poor representation in SRGM? - Page 6

As many said here---and I fully agree with them---the reason for less participation from South is purely commercial. The channels, after all, are commercial organizations in entertainment business, and reality shows are their products. They are not organizations working for social causes. Like any product company, they need to spend less on making their products and need to earn more out of them. Otherwise they won't survive in today's fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

The channels, I am sure, will try for equal participation from all zones, if that can get them better net revenue. But that is not a reality. To get say 40 shortlisted candidates meeting their requirements, the channel has to audition 1000s of singers. It is much easier for the channels to get 1000 singers interested in participation from North that from south for the obvious reason. Holding audition in 1or 2 major cities in North can bring 1000s of hopefuls but to do the same in South, the channel has to hold auditions in all major cities in South (and still they may get so many interested) So more cost of production for them. And after doing all this they still will have less viewer ship from South and hence less revenue (sms votes). So why would they go out of the way to do something that is not in their commercial interest?

I liked the song but I am not sure that the masses would get past the language barrier. Good classical parts and catchy. Good fusion.

link sent to me by musicbuff, this A R Rehman's song has unusual chord progression with arpeggio background , loads of staccato notes and some throat splitting typical carnatic taan towards end of the song, now this style of composition is so different from Bollywood, I wonder if a Hindi song is made on similar line will it appeal..??

expert comments please.

He is salil chaudhary, many youg listeneres might not have seen him.

Dear qwerty music is very subjective, something which is good for me may not be same for you and vice versa.

Few people realise that Salil composed music for around 75 Hindi Films, over 40 Bengali Films, 23 Malayalam Films and several other films in Tamil,Telugu,Gujarati,Marathi,Assameese,Oriya etc. No other Indian composer comes even close. ......

Salil had this amazing ability to compose background music for films. His understanding of situations, the story line and the emotions was unsurpassed. He had always composed the background music for his own films in every language. However, other film producers and directors found his ability to compose background music very impressive. It all started when Bimal Roy asked Salil to compose part of the background music for his legendary film "Devdas" when Sachin Dev Burman was the music director of the film. Later B.R.Chopra asked Salil to compose the background music for "Qaanoon" while Ravi was his regular music director. While Qaanoon was a songless film, its remembered for its phenomenal background music. Since then Salil had composed the background music for a large number of Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil films and also for quite a few Documentary films for the Films Division of India.

Salil da's few compositions were essentially for Hindi films only and mostly for Bengali, also he gave music in Tamil, if the same person is doing it this is not plagiarism. Ilaya Raja took neele neele ambar pe from Kalyan-Anand ji and made a tamil version of it, but took permission , hence not plagiarism.

No problem qwerty bhai BTW kitna kathin ID hai..aapka

it is very simple,
