The list of films that ran mostly for its music is endless. To say that the song "vaalameen...." in a large way contributed to the success of 'Chithiram Pesudhadi' would be no exaggeration.
Because of TV, FM stations and the Internet, audio sales have been greatly affected in recent times. Young composers seem to have tackled the problem. Himesh Reshamiyya's songs for 'Dasavataram' have been greatly welcomed by fans. The audio sales alone come to a few crores.
In just one day, 2 lakh audio of 'Kuselan' songs composed by G V Prakash were sold and created a record. The audio of Harris Jayaraj's 'Dhaam Dhoom,' 'Vaaranam Aayiram' and 'Sathyam' have all been sold for a good price. The hot favorite of youngsters now is Yuvan's 'Saroja' songs. Vijay Antony's 'Kadhalil Vizhundein,' Vidyasagar's 'Raman Thediya Seethai' are also giving good profits.
Ilayaraja's 'Dhanam' songs are being released today and there is great expectation of it. Nowadays it is easy for people to download music from the Internet. At such a time, when audio sales are doing so well, it only speaks for the brilliance of the music composers.
May this success continue!
