Kuzhaloodhum kannanuku is the Hit song from the movie Mella thiranthathu kathavu. This movie is a yet another combination of Ilayaraja-Mohan duo. K.S. Chitra has given life to this song, with her soulful rendering. I don't think this movie nor this song needs any review. The music ll make you feel the life in it.

Hariharan ji with Susheela ji
This is very old song from the movie Anantha Jothi. M.S.Viswanathan has handled the music and this song is sung by P.susheela Susheela made her entry when so many singers were displaying their talents and were very popular. But her entry in 1952 outshone others and soon pushed all of them to the background. Right from 1955 there was not a single movie - for a very very long time - that did not have a song in her voice. Her career was at its best in the 60s and the early 70s. Whoever be the music director, whoever be the lyricist, whoever be the co-singer, the song became popular with her finesse. Her popularity among the masses was just unprecedented in the annals of Tamil cinema.Susheela's contribution to this trend was considerable. She has given hundreds of golden melodies under the direction of stalwarts Viswanathan - Ramamurthy. That her name is well known and is remembered with feelings of joy for more than 50 years now goes to her credit. She continues to rule supreme in the hearts of her fans through the thousands of numbers she has rendered in a very long and enviable career.

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...!!!

Vizhiye... kathai ezhuthu, is a classic song from the movie Urimaikkural. The legendary composer M.S.Viswanathan has composed the song for which "Padma Bhushan" K.J.Yesudass has given his voice. He has seven national awards to his credits, which is a record no singer has equalled, let alone surpassed. His unparalleled record of winning state awards for best singer in five regional languages of India and winning National awards for best singer seven times in three languages places him among the most versatile singers India has ever seen.Awards get more respect when it reaches this mastero's hands.

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.

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.

I have decided to post notes of yester year songs throughout this month.And I have named it "MSV special." popularly known as "Mellisai Mannar"(The King of Light Music),M.S.Viswanathan has scored music for more than 1000 movies in Tamil,Telugu and Malyalam. It is true fact.Despite his Keralite background, he established a prolific film music composing career in the Tamil filim industry. He along with his friend T.k.Rammoorthy, dominated film music composing in the South Indian film industry during the 1960s and 1970s.This duo is well known as Viswanathan - Rammorthy.Being a versatile singer, he also has 500 songs to his credit.He is not only known for his excellency in music but also for his short temperment.It is heard that,even the best singer would get pissed off infront of this legendary composer.He recieved Kalaimamani and doctrate for his contribution to music.Valarntha Kalai song from Kaathiruntha Kangal is one of his dedication to the Tamil filim industry.The grace of his music is the sheer example for his passion towards the music.

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.
Jeans is a Romantic-Musical movie directed by Shankar with Prashanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachan in the lead role. This film is produced by Ashok Amirthraj, an ace Indian tennis player.Both hero and heroine has played a dual role in this movie,I think it is first of its kind. This film became the most expensive film to be made in India at the time.A particular song called "Athisayam" was Pictured in all the 7 wonders of the world(old) Despite receiving mixed reviews on the actors' performances and the basic storyline, the film became a major hit at the South Indian box office. Owing to its success, it was later dubbed into the Hindi and Telugu Languages and released with the same name. The film was nomitaed by India as its entry for the Best foreign language film for the Academy Awards in 1998.Rahman's musical composition of the film was described as "one of his best soundtracks", whilst Vairamuthu's "terrific lyrics" also stood in the song athisayam and kannodu kaanbethellam. Nithyasree Mahadevan's voice is the added beauty to this classical song.
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?
