Immediate choices that came to mind were:

"Malai Mega" - Desam composed by A.R.Rahman

"Raa Raa" - Chandramukhi composed by Vidayasagar

"Iyengaaru Veetu Azhage" - Anniyan composed by Harrish Jayaraj



For me it was a tough one between 'Raa Raa' and 'Malai Mega', both songs are amazing, but "Malai Megha" has to be the one. The song enlightens the spirit, takes it so high by the end of the song you would think you were riding on the spiritual waves of Lord Rama. It has so much power, especially during the end of the song, the composition creates such a festive atmosphere. The song is beautifully picturised as well, for anyone who hasn't seen Desam/Swades, listen to this song and it will make you watch it.

"Ra Ra" composition should be credited to the Kannada film MD Gurukiran

I heard a song -Noothanaa, nee noothanaa, saadhanaa, nee sadhanaa yesterday. Should be from a latest movie only. Very nicely rendered carnatic based song. Dunno the movie though.

It's from 'Karka kasadara'. Sounded like Gambeera Naattai.

I think Raa Raa is a good choice.

This genre of songs has become almost extinct in TFM. Some recent noteworthy ones I liked:

Aalanguyil from "paarthiban Kanavu" - combined class and appeal.

VeeNa vaaNi - Ponmeghalai(IR) composed by IR.
- the movie was never going to make it, but the songs were a mini-treat to listen to. Unai thedum by Bombay Jayashree was also good.

Ennai enna seidhaai, kaNNan nee endhan - both by Sudha Raghunathan from Ivan composed by IR

The above are authentic semi-classicals, not just weak raga-based songs like the recent Anniyan numbers.

What raaga is "Raa Raa" from Chandramukhi? Is it Ananda Bhairavi?

The last best Carnatic based songs are
"siru siru siragugalil" in keeravani and "idhu varai naan oru pazhaiya manidhan" in Chandrakouns , both from the disastrous Konjipesalam. I esp like the former by UnniK . Its charanam is tight and well structured which testifies the hallmark of a classy composition by IR.
