Hi friends, till now had been posting lot of notes and music related articles in my blog. Now I have posted the promotional video of "Lalitha Jewellery" - India's one of the largest jewellery shop directed by Pravinkaanth, who has directed movies like Ratchagan, Jodi, Star and Thullal. Cinematography is by Arthur Wilson(Naan kadavul, Imsai Arasan 23 M Pulikesi, Saravana, Anbe Sivam, etc...) The highlight of this post is that, this Jingle is sung by my sister SREE CHITRA and she has also acted in it. Your reviews & criticism about this jingle is be appreciated. Please put in your comments.
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.
Nizhalgal is the tamil movie which belongs to 80's. The famous versatile actor "Nizhalgal" Ravi was introduced in this movie. Music is by Ilayaraja. All the songs were super duper hit. The list of songs from this movie includes Ithu pon malai poluthu, Poongathave, dhoorathil nan kanda & Madai thirathu. Madai Thiranthu song has been remixed by the "poetic Ammo" group found by Yogi.B a.k.a Yogeswaran veerasingam.
God is, and there is nothing higher than Him. He is perfect, infinite and eternal. He is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. He is the creator, sustainer and destroyer. Surrender voluntarily and totally to His will. Trust in Him and do the right. Let the inner light (enlightened conscience) guide all your actions.
To know me constantly think "Who am I?" by sravana and manana. Who are we? What are we? Where are you? Where is all this world? Think and think. In reality you are not different from God.
I carry on, as a wirepuller, all the actions of the man who trusts Me and merges in Me.
Faith in God is the only anchor for the ship of Samsar, whether smooth or troubled waters.
Look to me with undivided attention; so will I look to you. This is the only truth My Guru taught Me. The four sadhanas and the six shastras are not necessary. With entire confidence trust your Guru. That is enough - Shirdi Sai Baba

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.You must be the change you wish to see in the world - M.K.Gandhiji
Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom- Jawaharlal Nehru
One individual may die for an idea; but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives. That is how the wheel of evolution moves on and the ideas and dreams of one nation are bequeathed to the next. - Netaji Subash Chandrabose
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...!!!
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.
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.
Aboorva Raagangal is the Tamil movie directed by the legendary director K.balachandar with "Super Star" in a supporting role and "Universal Hero" as the hero. In this movie kamal plays a then, modern youth who believes in violence and falls in love with an older woman, whose daughter on the other end of the city falls in love with kamals dad. While Rajinikanth plays a cancer patients role.This is a a brilliant and unorthodox work by K.B,which challenged Indian social mores. This film was also actor Rajinikanth's debut and Kamal Hassan's first major hit.K.J.Yesudas has sung this song "Athisaya Raagam", which was a super duper hit of 70's.It has to be noted that this movie has won the National Award in the year 1976.
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.

The most awaited programme of the south "Airtel Super Singer Junior" is gonna kick start by next week (22nd june). Am as eager like you guys to see the young and fresh talents of Tamil Nadu.Auditions for this program has already got over. And the bunch of children from different parts of the state like Salem,Trichy,Chennai and Coimbatore are geared up to explore their talents.This time the most enticing criteria of the show would be the prize money. Yes, the winner is going to be awarded the sum of rupees 25 lacs. Bigger than what their seniors won.But I think its too less when we compare it with the ammount of popularity this shows gives to such budding talents.To all our surprise, the latest buzz is that DD (Divya Dharshini - Jodi No. 1 fame) is expected to host this season of the show.DD is known for her energetic compiering.But I dont no how far she is going to fill up Chinmayi's place. Both seems to be great in their own ways. With the heap of expectations a grand season of ASS-2 is about to start. So dont miss to tune yourself...
Roja is directed by Mani Ratnam.The film was subsequently dubbed in Hindi,Malayalam & Marathi.The film won three National filim Awards, including Best Filim on National Integration, catapulting Ratnam to national acclaim. The film also gained international acclaim with its nomination for Best Film at the Moscow International Filim Festival. The film was recently re-released for international audiences in light of the growing fear of terrosit attacks across the world. It is considered as one of the best films from the Indian film industry in the 1990s.Mani gave chance for the "Mozart of Madars" A.R.Rahman to score music and soundtrack, who debuted as a music director with this film. This soundtrack is among the "10 Best Sound Tracks" of all time listed byTime magazine, issued in 2005.
Anbe Vaa is a tamil film starring M.G.Ramachandran and Saroja Devi in the lead role. The film was released in the year 1966.The plot of this movie is broadly based on the English Movie "Come September", which features Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida. This movie revolves around the life style of an Industrialist.M.S.Viswanathan has scored the music.P.Susheela has sung this song (Love birds..Love birds..)The 2003 tamil film Lesa Lesa was partially based on Anbe Vaa.
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.
Finally the Airtel Super Singer 2008 came to an end yesterday... And as the whole Chennai was expecting,it got over the way I wanted. Ajeesh was declared the AIRTEL SUPER SINGER of 2008.Being a passionate music lover, I have been following this program regularly and I really feel for happy for this easy going singer, Ajeesh. I have seen this guy performing in many Intra-college competitions and believe me, this guy has hell a lot of fan following where ever he goes(especially girls).He is a second year student of Loyola College,Chennai.I first saw his promising performance last year in vijay tv's EQ 2 shooting, an another talent hunt show for college students.And within a year he has become a famous personality in the city.He sang "sangeetha Jaathi mullai" song which made Krishnamoorthi,Airtel Super Singer Junior to win the title. Though yesterdays performance was comparitively not upto Krish's performance. We cant blame Ajeesh as the event went live unlike ASS junior.
Ravi, who won second place was at his best.But to his bad luck he couldn't collect much votes.This was very clear when the DD anounced the difference of votes between Ajeesh and Ravi(out of 5 lacs and odd votes, Ajeesh got 2 lacs 50 thousand plus votes)And coming to Renu,I would blame Renu for her loss. Though she has very good voice and dynamics,she failed to choose the correct song for the finals.But its definite that, all these three singers will have very bright future as a playback singers.It would be incomplete for me, if I fail to congratulate Prasanna and Ranjini who gave their heart out for Sreenivas own composition.We really missed you in the finals guys.Hatts off...!Keep reaching great heights!!!
There are many reality shows happening around the city. Though this format is copied from the western channels, some of them stay unique for the quality of participants that show has...
The time has come to choose the Airtel Super singer 2008. Who's gonna get a chance to sing in Yuvan's Music? who's gonna get that bumper prize? This is the recent buzz among the music fanatics. Super Singer has been a great platform for the budding singers to exhibit their talents. And Vijay tv is working hard to bring out the best talents in the city. Among the thousands of participants, the four finalists Ajeesh,Ravi and Renu had proved their best to reach this level. The grand final is going to be held on june 3rd.So its now our duty to acknowledge these young talents with our immense support.
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.
