Yet another master piece from Ilayaraja - SPB - Mohan Combination. You can hear S.N. Surendar (uncle of actor vijay) voice in almost all Mohan's song. But this time it was SPB for the silver jubliee movie - " Kunguma Chimizh". I happened to listen to this song after very long time and I should say was totally mesmerized over this composition.Am pretty sure that one will run out of adjectives as he/she listens to Ilayaraja what so ever their mother tongue is. Even the small nuances in SPB's style of singing adds much beauty to the lyrics and get the best feel out of it. They Rock...!!!

Me (Bhargav) with Jackie Shroff
Rangeela, released in 1995 was and will ever be one of the finest works of art by its team of cast and crew members. This is a terrific combined effort from the team of Aamir Khan, Ram Gopal Varma and AR Rahman.This was A.R's first original score for a Hindi movie.From among all the slew of films that were made at that time, this one was the topgun and the undisputed champion. It is the fusion of the Reel and Real which enables this film to stand on its own philosophy.Above all, this is a perfect showcase of Aamir Khan's colorful personality in a role which is almost contrary to his own "known" character. I wonder if anybody else could have pulled out such a performance the way Aamir has done in this film.Ofcourse there is always the glamour and dance of Urmila to focus on and when that gets unrealistic, there is the jolt from the blue that transports the watcher out of the dream onto hard reality.

I just see this movie as an another feather to the success cap of Manirathnam, director and Ilayaraja, who has scored the lively music for this movie(Thalapathi).The story is about a fight between two brothers (Rajnikanth and Arvindswamy) is a classy version on modern Mahabbaratha, and its truly unique. Maniratnam has adapted the screenplay to the modern version and it's really awesome.Though "Yamunai Aatrile" is a small song, its a classic composition from the mastero.Ilayaraja tried reaching national audience by making Mithali, a hindi singer to sing this song.For me it's the best gangster movie with the right mixture of friendship theme ever made in India. I Just love this movie for the way each and every charactors are potrayed.

Kodai kala katre is the song from the movie Panner Pushpangal,directed by K.Vasu in early 80's. It is about a high school romance set in a hills station school located in ooty.This super hit melody is sung by Malaysia Vasudevan. Malaysia Vasudevan’s entry in to Tamil Music as a Singer was rather sudden.He recorded his first song for the movie 16 vayathinile.However his modulation in voice enticed the audience that Ilayaraaja started using him for variety of songs. He has sung many songs for various music directors though primarily for Ilayaraja until early 90s since his debut in 1977. The fact is that, he has sung nearly 8,000 songs in Tamil and over 4,000 songs in other South Indian languages to his credit.He has also sung few songs in Hindi. He has been awarded "Kalaimamani" by the Tamil Nadu Government.

M.G.R @ his young age.
Kumari pennin ullathilae song is yet another hit from MGR - Viswanathan duo from the movie "Engal Veetu Pillai". No one needs an intro about Bharath Ratna M.G.R. He had huge fan following unlike any other actor in this world.A few facts about him - Making his film debut in 1936, in the film Sati Leelavathi, directed by Ellis Dungan, an American born film director, MGR did not attain great popularity until he got his big breakthrough in the 1947 film Rajakumari which was a super hit making him a top hero in Kollywood and one of the most successful in Indian Cinema history, the script for Rajakumari was written by Karunanidhi. He rose to stardom by playing characters that portrayed him as the saviour of the poor. His movies were the medium of communication for the Dravidian movement. For the next twenty-five years he remained the biggest celebrity in Tamil cinema and the most famous and worshiped man in Tamil nadu. Movies like Madurai Veeran, a champion of the Tamil Devars. His star power did not diminish even after he was shot by fellow actor M. R. Radha (Mohan R. Radha), affecting his ability to speak clearly. Even then he undauntedly carried on only to give box-office hit after hits, later paving way for his entry into poiltics. He won the national award in the best actor category for the film Rickshakaran while his filmdom rival Sivaji Ganesan who was considered better actor than him didn’t win it even once as a Hero (Sivaji Ganesan won the national award towards end of his career in Dhevar Magan). His Movie “Nadodi Mannan” (produced & directed by MGR and first released in 1956) released in 2006 ran house full shows in Tamil Nadu for 14 weeks.

You cannot keep a good thing bottled up for long. A.R.Rahman’s Sillunu Oru Kaadhal is a good example.The master of techno-orchestration and stylized melodies has shown fine form.Rahman has used few fresh voices besides himself rendering a number with aplomb.The thing about Rahman is his feel for lilt and rhythm.you get that in ample measure in almost all the songs of this movie. Beginning with husky voice of Shreya Ghoshal, the song has minimal instrumentation and Rahman lets the romantic lyric do the talking. Steps in Naresh Iyer with his gentle voice. The combination is ethereal. Again vintage stuff. Provides the feel of sitting alone and enjoying a wet December morning. It touches the heart straightaway. Hats off, Rahman.

Being pissed off after listening to some of the recent releases. Now am presenting you the notes of Kalangalail aval vasantham, a 60's song from the Tamil movie "Pava Mannipu". Chevalier Shivaji Ganesan, M.R.Radha, Savithri, Gemini Ganesan and Devika co-star in this complicated melodrama. The movie is about the actions of one dishonest man and the effect they have on the next generation. P.B.Srinivas has given his voice for Gemini Ganesan in this song. Kalangalail.. is a very pleasant and soothing melody by "Mellisai Mannar" M.S.Visvanathan. Now I realise why do people say "Old is Gold."This song is a real detication for the lover by the hero.

Now am posting Lyrics for "Sangeetha Jaathi Mullai" song from the movie Kadhal oviyam.It is a pure classical song sung by Padmashree Dr.S.P.Balasubramaniyam.The rendition of swaras at the end,is the best of the best from SPB.Music is composed by Ilayaraja and the lyrics by Vairamuthu.It is noted that,Ilayaraja had requested SPB to sing this song but he first refused earlier due to his busy schedule.Later he agreed to sing on condition that recording will be done only by 10AM. The recording finally was over at 3pm on the same day. Now a days, this song is mostly sung in many reality shows. Many fail to give justice to their selection and some do get distinction, depending on their individual credits.One really needs sone special talent to sing this song.But none can expect to match this legend.
Here comes the the similar post the as the previous one. But this time its gonna be "Ulgana Nayagan"(Universal Hero) Kamala Hasan.Before I brief about about his 100th movie let me give you some facts about this flamboyant actor.His trajectory in the Indian film industry is one prototypical journey, where he started as a child artist, then continued as a romantic hero, and finally evolved into one of the best actors India has ever produced.Kamala Hasan made his film debut as a 6-year-old child artiste, in the film Kalathur Kannamma, which won him the National Filim Awars for best Child Artist.After that he acted in a series of movies with the legends of yester years Sivagi Ganesan,M.G.R and others.
His performance in the movie, Aboorva Raagangal as a rebellious youth was criticaly acclaimed.This great actor produced his 100th movie "Raaja Paarvai" with Madhavi as the female lead. It's basically a love story, that blossoms when a rich girl meets a talented blind violinist. Kamal as blind guy is incredible, and Madhavi looks celestial throughout this movie. Ilayaraja's haunting score along with SPB's vibrant voice elevates the film to a new plane.Some films just happen. This is one such film,probably ahead of its time. This film is very similar with that of Rajinikanth's 100th movie "Sri Ragavendra" Both dint do well in the boz office,inspite ofthe good story backed by exemplary performance.When heros are trying to carry different roles and give out their best, why is that people always look out the usual masala one?
For the first time in his film career, Rajinikanth has shed out his Super Star image to act like his Guru Lord Sri Ragavendra. Its very well known fact that Rajini is a strong devotee of lord Sri Ragavendra. So he intended to depict him in his 100th movie which was directed by K.Balachandar,who introduced Rajini to this filim faternity.This film describes the life of Sri Raghavendra which highlights some of the miracles, right from his birth till mahasamadhi (death) The soft,patient and dignified look of Rajini is a rare scene. Really I couldnt understand from where he got that Tejas? You believe it or not.When u think of lord Sri Ragavendra only his face will struck your mind,after seeing this movie.The mastro Ilayaraja has composed songs for this movie.oh... No one can review his music.Especially his devotional compositions are too good for all the good adjectives in the dictionary.The Aadal kaliye song is the first song of the adult ragavendrar in the movie,which is sung by Padma Bhushan K.J.Yesudas. This is one of the favourite song for most of the buding singers when it comes to reality music shows. Who can forget Ajeesh performance in the classical round of vijay tv's Airtel Super Singer?

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a Hindi romantic comedy, directed by Aditya Chopra with SRK and Anushka in the lead roles.You might have never expected to see SRK or the first poster of Rab ne Bana Di Jodi this way, it's truly awesome and has got so much of depth to it. The tag line of the movie goes "There is an Extra Ordinary Love Story in every Jodi".... which is catchy, funny and has a romantic feel to it.
Although most of us were expecting Shahrukh romancing Anushka in Switzerland in the first poster, the teaser is different and good too! Shahrukh is seen wearing a faded shirt, with a bad pair of trousers and completely awful shoes in this movie, probably his worst on-screen look till date.Music from Salim and Sulaiman didn;t create much impact.Because of the over expectation after the huge success of Chakde India,Bhoot, Matrubhoomi and Fashion, the duo has failed to prove their mantle. But its ok, one cannot expect to succeed all the time.Hope they will be back into business soon.

In recent times many directors had understood that family based stories always have a soft corner among the movie buffs. After the huge success of Autograph, some of the directors has changed their way of filim making. Now a days, the Support for the good tamil entertainers has never seen a dip. If you dont agree with me then I guess wouldn't be aware of the making of Autograph 2. Fine, let me give my review about the movie Pirivom Santhipom. Its is directed by Karu Palniappan and the star cast includes Cheran and Sneha in the lead roles.
This is the first time am concentrating in reviewing more of the story than music because of its extra ordinary script. Though the film is not a debate on the joint family culture, the director has beautifully brought in the importance of relationships in a person's life. The film also touches the turmoil that a wife undergoes without voicing out her opinions and placing her husband's likes and dislikes prior to her own, even if it means that she has to suppress her emotions and give up her likings.One aspect that is worth mentioning is that, this film is a sharp contrast to most of the films that are releasing today.Vidyasagar has shown his intelligence in expressing the girls feelings with good compostion. This song is sung by Karthick, Swetha and Yuga Bharathi.One aspect that is worth mentioning is that, this film is a sharp contrast to most of the films that are releasing today.

Indra is a Tamil movie directed by Suhasini Manirathnam. The film revolves around a group of villagers and their clash with a neighbouring village leader, as their community begins to prosper. Soon money and greed threaten a will for peaceful coexistence between the two rivalling communities. Although this movie was not a runaway success in Tami Nadu, it did well in Japan upon release.The daring lead lady of this movi Anu Hasan is the sister of suhasini.A.R.Rahmans musical touch has greatly helped the director to potray the impact created by the strong story line. Nila kaaigirathu song has two versions.One sung by Harini and the other by Hariharan. The “Ghazal King” has once again proved himself with his rich pitch and timbre.

Chandramukhi is a horror,comedy and drama directed by P.Vasu. It is a slightly deviated remake of the Malayalam film, Manichithrathazhu and an exact remake of the Kanada blockbuster Apthamithra. The soundtrack and background score for the film, which later became successful enough to be released as a separate album, was composed by Vidyasagar. The legandary singer Asha bhosle has sung for a tamil movie after a along break. Madhu Balakrishnan's sweet voice is a added plus to this song.
Following its original release, Chandramukhi was successful enough to be released in several other languages. It was subsequently dubbed into Telugu. Later on, it became the first ever Tamil filim to be dubbed into Geraman and it was released in several German-speaking countries as Der Geisterjager (The Ghost Hunters). This movie was also dubbed and released in Hindi named Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the Bollywood remake of Manichithrathazhu .

This National award winning song is composed by Ravi Shankar Sharma, better known by his first name Ravi, is an Indian music director, who has composed music for several Hindi andMalayalam films. After a successful career in Hindi films, he took a break from 1970s to 1984, and made a successful comeback as Bombay Ravi.This song is sung by K.S.Chitra,one of my hot favourites amongst female singers. Her voice has a unique and rich timbre which I really enjoy. Till now she has won 6 national awards(guess am right) and she got her 2nd National Award for this song in 1987.
Monisha Unni, who made her presence known in this very first film.She was only 15 years old when she won the National Film Award for Best Actress for the film Nakhashathangal.That made her the only actor to get a National Award for the debuting film and the youngest actor to achieve the feat.
Udayananu Tharam is a 2005 Malayalam movie which presents the South Indian film industry through a satirical viewpoint. The financial and artistic crisis which plagued the once glittering Malayalam film industry during the turn of the 21st century lies at the centerpoint of this movie. The film which appears to have resemblance to two Hollywood movies Bowfinger and Big Fat Liar is, ironically, about plagiarism! Music is by Deepak Dev and all the songs were super hit in this filim.
