View Full Version : Best BGM of the Decade - 1991 - 2000



Plum
19th November 2009, 01:14 PM
With all the decade threads going, an important aspect has been ignored so far.

And I am choosing 90's for the quality of certain movies and the BGM there.

I promise a long post on Mahanadhi BGM soon - and there is my favourite over Hey Ram.

Meanwhile, HUB experts please come to the party with your nuanced critique

just to clarify, BGM is re-recording in other words ? or did you mean more than that ?? :)

seri, nominations from me

Idhayam I have only heard not seen the movie fully so not nominating
Thalapathy - I thought the thalapathy chorus was embarassing. Not upto full IR standards, IMO.

So, here goes the list:
Mahanadhi ( I am not hiding my preference, am I? :-) )
Hey Raam
Gunaa
Thevar Magan
Kizhakku Vaasal(fabulous senthoorapoovae-based theme)
Anjali (was it 1991? Very strong contender, if so)

I am running the BGM from memory and writing this so excuse any minor errors:

A train passes unobtrusively. There is a flute(?) making an intriguing entry as though an outsider taking stock of a new place. A few exploratory strains follow. Then it starts. The Guitars and Violins. The theme music - it is melodious but ominous. A foreboding of tragedy. There is a heart-tugging section of strings playing the theme of the movie - and you know that the calm ambience you are being introduced to is a teaser - what is going to follow is a tale of heart-breaking journey of a naive, doomed soul. Mahanadhi. (will be continued)

Equally, the principals involved is each of them a stalwart that we can also say that "IR is not required; Sivaji and Kamal would have carried it anyway"
However, Sivaji and Kamal are both needed if you remove the BGM.

Actually i had added it initially. On second thoughts i could remember the fantastic BGM (kaapi raagam) towards the climax when the parents have a mana-maatram but apart from that and a few pieces, i remember the annoying "thana naa naa" by Bhavatharini!

I think thErdhal should be changed to "best non-IR BGM of 90s", just to avoid unnecessary splitting.

Current thErdhal could lead to winning of some other inferior work (means non-IR defeating IR), causing embarassment to the hub :-)

ARR :

Rhythm, Anthimandharai, Indian, Iruvar

For me, till date, Rhythm is easily the best ever work (BGM) of ARR. No other work of ARR come close to Rhythm.

ARR fans missed out Rhythm. :shock:

Deva:

Vaali, Porkalam, Natpukkaga. In Vaali, haunting piece of Piano is still going in my mind.

IR:

Idhayam, Hey Raam, Siraichalai, Dhalapathy, Sethu, Mogamul, Nadodithendral, Houseful, TIME, Unnai nenaichaen paattu padichaen, Guna, Devar Magan, Avatharam, Karisakaattu poove, Mahanadhi, Azhagi, Valli, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and Poonthottam

Why IR fans missed out Siraichalai???. :think: :think: :think:

VS:
Pasumpon

However, my top 5 choices would be like this

It is too tough to choose between Heyram, Siraichalai and Idhayam.
Next 2 in the list will be Rhythm and Porkalam.

Devar Maghan - The death of periya devar and the scene that follows to show Kamal as next devar..

It was different, as when someone dies, the MDs would usually go for the "pE pE pE pEEE" with the nadhas or sax.

But IR went on with "aala" with a bit of soga raagam. Usually the bgm would make you cry but this one is unique. It doesnt make you cry but it makes you feel bad that periya devar is dead. But with the continuing "aala" the sequence quickly changes and the backdrop with flashy images of Kamal becoming next Devar is something genius.

Now this is where your eyes tickle the tears after seeing Kamal and the "aala" still continues in the background.

Wonderful !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCQPyzt9ibM&feature=related

opening with opera, the musical piece sets out to search the soul's uncombed territories..........the wafer thin sitar notes accompanying the opera hum, grounds us with protaganists', as well as our geographical ignorance.....the synth bass, that follows, further intensifies the menace and hints at impending disaster for Amar
Khan varma in his path of desperation......sukhwinder's vocals, lazed with lust and love unequally with its echo effect, makes it sound like a voice coming from a deep hollow tunnel called "soul"......the tabla notes that follow, steers us to normalcy but only to be pushed back to oblivion with opera pitching in again......the aggressive synth bass, accompanying the tabla doesent let the song getting straightjacked into routine.......the echoing vocals, synth bass and opera humming, blend to
crisscross our senses and give us a perfect picture of the "boy next door's" dangerous wandering into unknown and unnneccessary terrotories......thump of the african type percussion that follows the scream sounds, is indicative of the girl's dark background and that danger to hero because of her is something organised....she
belongs to a group, to a world that is never accesible to love and the protaganist........the guitar strum rounds this musical piece off, confirming our doubts of impending danger for protaganist, raised by synth bass.....

i think this can be called a work of psycedelia, since it had all ingredients - sitar, tabla, indian notes, intoxicating vocals, guitar and bass........more than anything, the haunting effect hasnt eroded even after 12 yrs, it has increased maybe

Tough, very Tough. I'll leave out IR's one. Even those films with not so good songs, have wonderful scores...even recent ones like MX.

ARR
Thiruda Thiruda (his best), Karuttamma, Uzhavan, Kizhakku Cheemaiyile, and definitely the forgotten Andhi Mandharai.

Raaja's - Thalapathy & Guna (1991) . I still remember the deepavali which blossomed my musical interest at 12, Watching both these movies is an incredible experience. While every others of my age was going gaga over Rajni & Kamal, Raaja's music just blew me completely. Manusan eppadi thaan manage pannaro. Especially Guna's bgm elevated the movie to a different level.

Then there comes the breaking wind Rahman (1992) in Roja on "The Independence Day" an anthem which hooked the whole Indian hemisphere towards kodambakkam panchathan studio. "tamizha tamizha" is my all-time favourite bgm followed by the Bombay theme. The patriotism, peace loving gist that exudates from these two tracks by this gifted prodigy is worth-mentioning!

for many reasons, i dont want to vote and select one specific bgm as best, as there are many from different MDs mainly from IR & ARR. i shud have done the same in best album thread too, but i voted :(

only, best movies thread are eligible for voting as only movies seem distinctly different, not music. atleast the effect

Amaidhipadai.. menmayana love scens had interesting piece of RR by Isaignani :)Tune belonged to a song that got axed I believe, "Sollividu Velli Nilavee". The other songs are terrible (The title marching song and the unnecessary Neeyachu, naanachu - low point in the movie itself).

But the BGM was superb. When Amavasai is doing nasty thing and is having us laughing our behind off, IR's music is sober, serious, reminding us the actual nastiness of the situation, it helped with the tragicomedy feel of the film.

yes.. there is no duet between SR & Ranjitha.... but I like the title marching song & was searching for the audio (vetri varudhu vetri varudhu - by IR's chorus group Mano, Dheepan etc.)

Grouch idhai miss panniteenga:

When it comes to popular and "Janaranjagamana Isai" Deva is the best by end of 80's and in 90's. He was instrumental in shaping up the careers of Vijay and Ajith. Deva is often depromoted and his contributions downplayed by other MD's fans in this forum.
