Aravind, Thanks for the details. Good to know Sunidhi Chauhan is singing. She was very good in Paa (Hichki Hichki) and Om Shanthi (Chinna POlike). I think she also sang in Mumbai Express Hindi Version. So this should her first Thamizh songs under Maestro, if she does or if she sang again for Hindi version.

I was always curious about the fate of NEPV's hindi version as there were no concrete updates on hindi version. Here is an update. Gautham menon drops (for now atleast) hindi version of NEPV.

Oh Thanks Bala. Somehow I missed her name in the Yele Nee Etti Po song tag (which I have) along with Shreya Ghoshal. She had a very good voice. From the singers list (with Shaan too), it seems we can expect a monster and trendy soundtrack like Paa or MX. Still can't forget that slap bass (or pizzicato?) in Mudhi Mudhi (from the picture links it must have be played by Attila). I really loved the rock ballad version by Shaan too.

krish, So Hindi version is dropped? :sad:

On Tamil Sri Rama Rajyam.. As much as I like Chinmayi's voice, I'm afraid, it isn't a patch on Shreya's. Producer should have retained Shreya for the tamil version too. BTW, any one notice the difference in 'Seetha Seemantam' song? (In the initial few seconds). Wonder if it's faulty CD Rip.. or if it's done on purpose.

On Tamil Sri Rama Rajyam.. As much as I like Chinmayi's voice, I'm afraid, it isn't a patch on Shreya's.
+infinity. While the lyrics literally translated from telugu which quite fitted to sandhams, singing wise it was let down, especially Shreya songs. The areas where there are not much aalapanais, she did quite well, but, in Sri Rama Lera (Sri Rama Vaarai), just before starting the charanam, Shreya does one heart-melting aalaapanai, which was totally killed by Chinmayee. Many places like this, where there are those beautiful sangathis, alaapanais and those beautiful extensions which gave life and soul to the compositions, all are well killed and swallowed.

Finally, at last finally got my original Dhoni and Mayilu audio CDs after a long long time. I totally agree now, what people have been saying, what I have been missing, especially Dhoni's live recording. :notworthy: It makes a huge and hell a lot of difference. Experience of a life time!. :notworthy: Every bit of note and every bit of instrument is separately audible. You have to listen to the bass portions of Vaangum Panathukkum, nothing like that. In mp3 version (online), I used to hear the rolling drums @0.08 as some messed up sound. When listening to audio CD, that rolling drums is clearly audible to every note. :notworthy: Many things like that. SPB voice sounds absolutely fresh and stunning. Lke the voice of SPB which we used to hear in 80s. What a great miss! The songs reached greater heights and multiplied my liking to Dhoni as a whole soundtrack enormously. I will upload the original audio version soon. Highly recommended to listen to audio CD version only.

Still to listen to Mayilu soundtrack fully. Heard only one song; Yathae. Again what a contrast in listening experience. The song of the year clearly (so far)!

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/tamil/news-interviews/2-crore-for-NEP-audio-rights/articleshow/13065333.cms

"...Says an executive in the audio industry, "The soundtracks of Gautham's films have always done well in the market. And since he is collaborating with Ilaiyaraaja for the first time, there is an intense competition among top labels to bag the audio rights for 'NEP'
.
.
Considering that Ilaiyaraaja has a huge fan base in Tamil and Telugu, the rights of 'NEP' are much-contested between players in the music market....."

The Western world, atleast the alternate music circuits, seem to have discovered the Raja of the 80s and are celebrating him, going by the compilations that are coming out from various labels.

After the 'Solla Solla' and later the Chitra compilation, we now get the funky Raja of the 80s. Just check out the compilation. Someone has real good taste.

Here are the sound samples of the compilation:

Wow! Suresh ji, this is some amazing discovery. Thank you so much. :notworthy: But how did they achieve this much quality, when agi music (who is owning the copy rights of Raja's old soundtracks) and other companies is struggling to remaster the tracks, citing poor source. This is definitely a major breakthrough in terms of quality. First time hearing Maestro's songs in this crystal clear quality. Still not able to believe it! :D It's sold out when I was about to order. :sad:

wizzy, "Play that beat Mr. Raja #1" is another outsanding album with great tracks. It is also available in iTunes (purchased recently), but you will not get that vinyl quality. Thanks!

I doubt if this will pull you - looks like standard structure for SA's movie . Aaaro paadum is yet to be matched

Problem is SA probably gives the same type of situations to thalaivar and the movie is usually based on a rustic background. Aaro Paadum is special because of the situation where the romance is free flowing. You can see from the visuals of that song that there is a more dreamy feel about the way the two lovers are featured.

An audio teaser of Sathyan Anthikad's 'Puthiya Theerangal' : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Zq4CzC3yU&feature=youtu.be

Really a teaser. Can't get to listen to even one line fully !!! Waiting for this to get me out of NEPV magic. Only 3 songs looks like, like most Sathyan Anthikad movies.

I am not sure about this but the preludes of the first and third song have beautiful usage of flute(first one) and harmonium/mridhangam(third one). You can hear them in the background as the guy is speaking. Second song is trademark SA styled song. Looks like there are some different situations this time round.

After listening NEPV's "Satru Munbu" if you are drained emotionally, listen to the "Nan Petra Selvam" of Prasad (Tamil) in a sequence. A soothing calm variance of same Minor scale.

Here is the Kannada youtube visuals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo_OcWwkdEc

Let V_S & others take over for analysis of this melencholic beauty

(in-turn, it further takes you to "Pani Vizhum Iravu"-Mouna Ragam, you can continue the journey)

12th September 2012, 05:58 PM

csr :thumbsup:
The most criminally underrated and overlooked (even in these portions of hub) song of 2012 so far. I haven't heard the Thamizh version (never even knew it existed), but the origiinal is pure bliss. Gets my vote for 'lullaby of the year' and 'father-kid song of the year'!

12th September 2012, 06:41 PM

Just heard the Thamizh version (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBIRR00760&lang=en); surely not bad. The lines are mostly direct transalation of the original I think.
There's one line in Kannada which I'm particularly fond of - the 2nd line -
'nanagE prasaada yendhu, aa dEva ninnaa thandhaa' which loosely translates to 'enakku prasaadamaa andha kadavul unna thandhaan'.
Nothing extremely imaginative or poetic I admit, but IMO, it sits nicely with the situation. This is a kind of line that any father would generally relate easily to, and in this case his little one being a special kid (haven't seen the movie or video; only vaguely recall the movie's theme) the dad probably develops a special bonding with his child and sees him as a 'blessing' and not a burden. And with the boy's name being Prasad, it adds a subtle charm to the dad's expression. This line in Thamizh becomes 'unnai kaaakum nizhalaai naanum, mann mElE vaazhvEn selvam' which, although being relevant, doesn't quite evoke the bitter-sweet beauty and contentment of the dad like in the originial.

venkkiram

12th September 2012, 06:51 PM

Thanks CSR for sharing that kannada song. Wonderful melody.

12th September 2012, 07:00 PM

And the way Raaja structures the tune there is so lovely.
oh nanna kandha, kandha --> tune
kElu maathondha; --> same tune as above; no change of notes
nanagE prasAdha endhu --> again, same tune
aa dEva ninnaa thandhaa --> here it starts from a lower note, then slowly ascends and again loops down beautifully. It's like as though the dad is really meaning what he's saying, that his child is a blessing, from the bottom of his heart. And the stretch and gradual fade out at the end of the line, feels to me, like he's really content with this blessing in his life and probably yearns for nothing more.

V_S

12th September 2012, 07:46 PM

Thank you csr sir for your confidence in me. Will surely listen to the thamizh version. As KV mentioned, this is a beautiful song in kannada and heavily under-rated even here. Very nicely written KV as always with great insight into the lyrics. Yes, he just descends only in the third line, but how sweet he is descending with no sluggishness, just like a smooth ice cream we swallow without any fuss. :smile:

Heard just one song so far - "Rajagopuram". Loved it! Very soothing melody. Loop worthy!

23rd September 2012, 01:26 AM

Wait a minute! Make that two mohanams! Raaja gOpuram and Sindhoora pottumthuttu.
The other one, MarippeelikkAttE, which, so far, is my pick from the album, follows a scale similar to elankaatru veesudhE, but sans the Rishabam in the aarohanam. The whole song appears to fall within this structure - S G2 M1 P N2 S and S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S (karaharapriya janyam; wiki gives it this name - Vajrakānti)
From the listening experience I've had so far, the best part of this album, for me, is that the tunes are extremely catchy but not pedestrian. To go with Suresh's 'peace theory' I think this album would fit in nicely there! In big contrast to intense and epic-sounding NEPV, this one's a simple, easy and soothing album.

Textbook tunemaking at its simplest, most seductive. After a few weeks of "Vaanam Mella" on the loop, "Puthiya Theerangal" again brings to the fore why Raaja digs deep into his emotional well for Sathyan. Top-notch singing, though I wish Kaithapram could've found better words to fit the pallavi in 'Maaripeelikaatre'. Just 3 songs, but each of them woven so seamlessly to convey a clarity of theme, an emotional integrity so true to the setting of the script without trying too hard with 'yelelo' calls and artificial seabreeze sounds. Raaja must have done this in quick time given his connect with Sathyan, but this should give the very exciting talents like Shaan Rahman, Gopi Sundar and Rahul Raj (even the prodigious Sharreth) a lesson in how song composing is all about locating that soul in melodic content, that moment of simplicity, and all the layering and technical hijinks can only provide instant or short-term gratification that will wash away like the sand castle set upon by waves. Posterity resides in those pebbles, smoothened with age, passing from hand to hand in an unbroken chain of sharing and celebrating life's bittersweet moments.

Ok, returning to ground realities, given Sathyan's rather limp form in the recent past and his limited songmaking (on screen) skills, they may not make much of an impact in the current Malayalam scene that's been set afire by urbane, cliche-busting, sophisticated smart-budget films by the young talents - Anwar Rasheed, Aashiq Abu... Let's just brace ourselves with the (familiar) thought that, regardless of the box office fate of this, the music will resonate for a long time to come.

The “Kasi” flavour emerges strongly in “Raja Gopuram’s” prelude and Raaja Saab plays it safe for the rest of the song by following his conventional Malayalam output pattern. The second interlude however is a revelation.

There’s a country feel in “Sindhoora Pottumthottu” and what time signature is the percussion playing at and which drums are they? Kanjira, Timbles, Darbuka :huh: Madhu Balakrishnan has definitely taken the baton from “Gandharva Gayakan”.

The album belongs to “Maripeelikaatte”. I prefer Madhu Balakrishnan’s version but I really miss Raaja Saab here as he would’ve taken this Celtic pathos track to an even more soaring level. That is him in the prelude right? I will add this to the compilation for “The Celtic King”. This song has to be felt and not heard.

The orchestration in the second interlude paints a misty hill station which can be found anywhere along the Western Ghats. It is songs like this which make me feel that Raaja Saab is an apt tour guide as you just need to stick in a CD of these kinda songs when you’re travelling on a long car or coach trip. You will be drowned in the stories and folk tales based on the surroundings and IMO you don’t need to even look out the window to judge the impact of such serene locales.

My take on Puthiya Theerangal: http://musicmavericks.blogspot.in/2012/09/puthiya-theerangal-malayalam.html

A copy-paste from there:

Maaripeelikaatte – Hariharan (another version by Madhu Balakrishnan)
The song begins on synth wind-instrument sounds and thumbing electronic percussion with a very poignant humming by Ilaiyaraaja himself (I think). A warm melody backed by guitar, this song’s tune bears Ilaiyaraaja’s signature all through. The quietly flowing string sections in the interludes aptly connecting to the charanams evoke a sense of calmness that some of Ilaiyaraaja’s compositions have. After Vilayatta Padagotti from Dhoni, this is perhaps the best soulful composition that Ilaiyaraaja reserved for Hariharan. Though there is another version by Madhu Balakrishnan as well, I liked up Hariharan’s version a lot.

Sindhoora Pottumthottu – Madhu Balakrishnan
The song begins with guitar strumming that makes us prepared for a country-music kind of song but Ilaiyaraaja quickly moves our attention to the native south-indian rhythms. The percussive elements in this song are a highlight. The melody, set in Mohanam raga, is more folkish in its execution with Madhu Balakrishnan and male chorus delivering it perfectly well. Ilaiyaraaja doesn’t keep it completely acoustic. The synth-elements he uses to fill-up the backgrounds when the pallavi comes to a close are typical Ilaiyaraaja ideas which vie for our attention just as he conjures up a brilliant closure to the taala pattern there. Interludes glide from one instrument to another while guitars and bass-lines stand-out in the charanams. Watch out for the 2nd interlude, which ventures into his recent “Neethane En Ponvasantham” orchestral sound.

Raajagopuram – Vijay Yesudas, Shweta Mohan
A weird combination of Mridangam and Harmonium set this hummable melody on roll and just as one begins to doubt if this song would ‘sound’ just this bland, Ilaiyaraaja abruptly changes the soundscape with violins, acoustic guitars and a swinging rhythm backed by some staccato effect. While the 1st interlude just warms up to the song, the charanams have impressive synth portions as the melody keeps changing the scale. In this song too, it’s the 2nd interlude that is goose-bumpy with just snapping of fingers as the rhythm while the guitars (and keyboard) play variants. This composition is lilting melody that many would like.

Like some of Ilaiyaraaja’s recent Malayalam films, this one too is very short but has remarkably wonderful music. It is difficult to pick the best one out of the 3 songs, although I personally feel that it’s a tie between Maaripeelikaatte and Raaja Gopuram. After the full-throttled music in Neethane En Ponvasantham, Ilaiyaraaja belts out a short, calmer and sweet album. Looks like he is back to his old ways – of not letting us completely soak in one album.

Un paarvayil (Amman kOyil KizhakkalE) immediately came to mind where Raja starts with harmonium (that was an extended delight). Very soulful song as usual spoiled by the picturization. Very artificial acting and dance, did not suit the melody. Will keep this song for later once I come out of NEPV. :smile:

NEPV it seems was like a shot in the arms for Ayya.Puthiya Theerangal takes Sathyan Anthikkad-Ayya combo to the next level.Maarippeelikkatte by MB is my pick for its contemporary yet avant garde feel.Hariharan fails with pronounciation,Kaithapram comes up with uninspiring mundane lyrics..most of the time meaningless.ONV would have done a great job for a song on Ahalyas' redemption(Raajagopuram).The father/mother-child lullaby genre(maaripeelikkatte),a favourite of the composer screams for better lyrics..Rafeeq Ahmed wrote some excellent lines in Amruthamaayi Abhayamaayi.The liveliness and energy of sindhoorapottum thottu has quadrupled my expectations for Gundello Godaari

Opened a screen sharing session, asked him to checkout the songs and buy and then asked him to put into shared drive and took it from there. :lol: Will listen in the evening.

As the name aptly states, 'raaja' gopuram is really it is. Why Vijay Yesudas is not singing nowadays much in Thamizh? I loved his singing in this one. We only have to go with Karthik (for melodies), sometimes his voice looks so monotonous to me. :sad: Leaving that aside, this composition is a bright one shining throughout. I don't know what instrument that is (I think it is a veena kind of sound from synth), which adds to every line of pallavi, very seducing. Oru inam puriyaatha mayakkam ithai kEkkum pOthu. What a beautiful sound that is and how beautifully played! These are the small details which captures our heart right from the first hearing. Same way the anu-pallavi ending where he tapers down the tune till that echo, I am lost with words there. I could not go beyond this atleast now.

Sathyan Anthikkad's interview (http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/coast-of-good-hope/article3942322.ece)

Ilayaraja composes the music for this film as well, the tenth film they are working on. Sathyan Anthikad and the master composer have been on song since they first worked together for Kochu Kochu Santoshangal. “For almost 30 of my films, it was the late Johnson who composed the music. When I decided to work with Ilayaraja, I informed Johnson and he told me that since it was someone who so much greater than him, he had no complaints whatsoever,” reminisces Sathyan. He adds: “During the composing of songs for Manassinakkare, I invited him to Kerala. I was over the moon when he agreed and it was in a houseboat on the Vembanad Lake that the song ‘Mele onnu paadi nine’ was born. Over the years, our relationship has matured into a warm friendship. Moreover, I make it a point never to misuse any friendship of mine. Perhaps that is my bond with many in the film industry has remained alive all these years.” The songs of Puthiya Theerangal have also been composed in Kerala and Sathyan is confident that the songs will be chart toppers.

KV / aakarsh,

Here again I think Raja was persuaded by Lakshmi to use Bhava. Ofcourse, he has used her on his own so many times. But this time due to twitter, you could see Bhava sending a tweet asking Lakshmi to recommend her name to Raja for atleast a song !!!

whatever the case may be - some of the best compositions of Raaja deserved a much better voice than her's. and my disappointment is that - this could be another good song which will become forgettable because of her voice.

First teaser of the catchy hero introduction, kozhi song , dappanguthu ( aa veedhi which is so similar to veedhi paththathe ) this is very average album for me . Im guessing the saving grace would be Bhavatha song. And what an fall after NEPV !
Just for using the machana patheengala song for Mumaith Khan , Lakshmi manchu deserves a slap - i just hate it .

Great album.. Loved - Gundello, Nanu neetho, Ekkadundi, Raathri, Vechani... (I have no issues with remixes as long as they are safe (Raja's) hands). Lyrics could have been better though in the last 3 songs.

I'm glad they included Raathri in telugu album. There was a telugu version of 'aasaya kaathula' in an obscure 90s film Chakravyuham. No one noticed it back then. Hope it gets it's due now.

>All songs are great!! I particularly like Jillumandi..Charanams are great

Agree. After round two, I loved all the songs, except for one item number. I'm glad that this album is a complete deviation from NEPV. I was worried that IR might get caught with London orchestra and complex tunes. GG is a simple, catchy album.. It has the kind of songs that connected Raja to a wider section of audience in Andhra during the 80s (instantly catchy tunes, rich orchestration with a hint of mass touch). I expect this album to be a huge hit with entire Andhra, and not just with Raja fans.

Gundello Godari - Orchestration is so KRish for me . Esp, the way 1st interlude is done and the orchestration in the middle of charanam . But why this much synth ? Looks a bit out of phase for the period and the tune . But nice, mallu feel song, except the beats

Jilumandi - Again, I feel its so KRish, dont know why. A recording with good studios might have helped . Didnt like andrea voice, hemachandra does a neat job and liked it more when he sang

Vechani Vayasu - No way, i will excuse this blunder - not the remix - but using Mumaith Khan for what we consider as devotional song ..somehow somehow i couldnt accept it

Nanu Netho - A song that Raaja would have sing otherwise - liked it very much - gave me that 'bomiikutty ammavuku ' feel for me ..The orchestrations are so cool ..

Ekkadhundhi - Superb song , after the 2nd listen ...

Aa Edhi - very similar to NEPV veedhi paththae ..

Ofcourse. But note that Raja has done this film for free. Producer mentioned that they just paid rent for the recording studios. That's all they could afford. That could explain overdose of synth.

Gregorysab

23rd October 2012, 08:56 AM

It's a hugely disappointing album for me.

Gundello godari is good. Raaja's voice suited the song although I feel something went amiss in the 2nd half of the song. Jhillumandi seems as if he outsourced it to someone else. Neither a great tune nor great support elements (arrangements, singers). Ekkadundhi is is the only song that harks back to 80s feel (sounds good). Nannu neetho has a good tune , but sacrificed to the shallow-voiced bhavatharini (the tune is soulful enough for any other better singer). Item songs didn't impress me anyway.

While the rush of a new album makes me feel that some songs are good to ok (title song, ekkadundhi & just the tune of Nannu neetho), I don't find them that outstanding and I doubt if they will have that recall value over the years. I am not coming from NEPV standpoint but as such, I doubt if I will enjoy these songs passionately after sometime. And in raaja songs, if that recall value isn't promising, then something is definitely missing in them.

Illayaraja's next album, Maranthen Mannithen coming out this Friday
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, October 24, 2012]
0 Comments

After the huge success of Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Maestro Illayaraja's next album will be released this Friday. The film is called Maranthen Mannithen and the event will take place at Sathyam Cinemas at 9:30 A.M. on the 26th of October.

Maranthen Mannithen pairs Lakshmi Manchu and Taapsee Pannu opposite Aadhi and Sandeep Kishan. The film will be a bilingual and will simultaneously release in Telugu as Gundello Godari and Illayaraja's music for the film is one of the highlights. It will be directed by debutant Kumar Nagendra and is produced by Lakshmi Manchu herself. Will the album live up to the heights of Neethaane En Ponvasantham?

Nice catch. The way it is used is also similar. Usually the starting notes of main verse is the key phrase. In these songs, the notes build and lands on the key phrase. Rahman then goes to use that phrase as a hook. I think Rahman like this kind of structure more. Hard to know if it is inspired.

IR's second marathi movie for the same director (director of HELLO JAI HIND):

"...Tamil Maestro Illaiyaraja collaborates again with Gajendra Ahire after Hello Jaihind. One hopes, unlike the songs in Hello Jaihind which didn’t catch the attention of people, this album becomes very popular. Raja Sir has even roped in Hungarian musicians Béla Lattmann(bass), Attila László(guitar), János Nagy(keyboards) for recording his compositions for this film..."

The song featured in this trailer is the same as the popular tamil song (only little variation in the end). Forgot the lyrics. The tune sounds fine. Not sure why the lyrics are in English. Maybe the situation! Not sure.

Ilayaraja to team up with London Symphony for 'Rudrama Devi': Director

Chennai, Feb 6 (IANS) Director Gunasekhar says music maestro Ilayaraja plans to record songs for upcoming Telugu period drama "Rudrama Devi" with the London Symphony orchestra.

"Since it's a period film, Raja sir insisted that we record the songs with the London Symphony orchestra. He has already composed six songs for the album and we will start recording very soon with the orchestra in London," Gunasekhar, who is directing and producing the film, told IANS.

"Rudrama Devi" is about one of the prominent ruling queens of the Kakatiya Dynasty. Anushka Shetty has been roped in to play the queen in the film.

It has art direction by Thota Tharani, while Neeta Lulla will design the costumes and Sreekar Prasad will do the editing.

The film also boasts a list of international technicians. Gunasekhar and the crew recently travelled to Germany for a trail shoot.

"It's a very prestigious project and I wanted to get everything right before I start shooting. We've roped in international technicians who would help us with the Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) work to bring back long forgotten era on screen to perfection," he said.

Just another news source about Balki's new movie having IR's music. He does not talk about AB or SRK though when asked about the cast. However, he says, the cast will be interesting one!

"...Speaking exclusively to TOI, the award-winning director says, "I feel great coming back together again with Ilaiyaraaja and P C Sreeram. Ilaiyaraaja has composed the music for my previous two films as well. For me, Ilaiyaraaja means music! As long as he decides to do music for my films, I'll only be too happy."

Ask him about the cast for this flick and he smiles and says, "We have not yet finalised the cast but it will not have south actors. This movie is a drama and it'll definitely have an interesting cast from Bollywood."
He refuses to disclose further details and signs off saying, "We'll announce the other details soon." The movie is set to go on floors in October."

Watched Gundello Godari (Telugu) and liked the movie. Felt glad a Telugu movie was made thus, by the debutant Director Kumar Nagendra (and inspite of the Manchu link!). Flood scenes have been shot well (except for a couple of shots), the genuineness/originality can be seen in most scenes and the making refreshing for which the debutant Director should be applauded. :clap: Nannu Neetho Ninnu Naatho song starts showing one of the lead pair's childhood, somewhat justifying Bhava singing it ;) (waiting for another Mayil Pola Ponnu Onnu).
Taapsee's is a bold character offering enough glamour and the producer should have ideally avoided the two item songs, even though the Director attempts to make it part of the main screenplay (by staging a fight towards the end of a song). They were probably needed for the Telugu version, but would not help the Tamil version.

While 2-4 songs of IR have been liked by fans (in general, in Telugu), it is IR's apt BGM right from the first scene that holds your attention, creating the right impact to the on-screen happenings and elevating the viewing experience. Be it the marriage scene, Taapsee's scenes or the fights, I loved the BGMs.
There are atleast two scenes in the 2nd half where the BGM simply heightens their impact. Especially, the 2nd one when Lakshmi weeps, the BGM is supposed to reflect the shock+tragedy+hope+uncertainty of the situation, and IR surprises us with a killer BGM :bow: that would leave the viewers stunned..nenje appidiye arukkara maadhiri (adhaan, Lakshmi's crying+BGM listening impact to which Mohan Babu said during the audio release function that the movie can even go to the Oscars..apideengiradhu vere kadhai ;)). It reminded me of the Jaws BGM for the impact created, but indha IR BGM is what is needed for our/Indian movie.

Kodi punyams to whoever can please record and upload that BGM. I am hoping that Maranthen Mannithen (Tamil) would have a decent run at the BO. It is worth watching once, thanks to IR's soothing songs (2-4) and effective BGM.

Isaifan - You forgot to mention the haunting BGM at the fag end of the movie. The solo guitar followed by Haunting chorus brings the essence of the complete climax - Relief after coming out from jaws of death, calmness after storm, joy in uniting, throwing the past into the river, etc.

raaga_kann,

Well said - "The solo guitar followed by Haunting chorus brings the essence of the complete climax - Relief after coming out from jaws of death, calmness after storm....".
IMHO, I feel TelFM listeners have lost the tolerance to listen to and appreciate such (climax) music. Was not sure how it will be received in TFM.

Also, many in Telugu like the 1st half more than the 2nd half. But, I liked the 2nd half more than the 1st half. Liked the locations and the way the story was told..was very satisfied seeing it in Telugu after a looooong time. Again, probably the only movie in a long time where both heroines wear half-sarees only :) The direction, art and camera work (debutant) and acting by the lead pairs (Adhi, Lakshmi, Taapsee, Sundeep) were impressive. After a long time, I like the way 2 songs were picturized (neatly!) in a Telugu movie - Nannu Neetho Ninnu Naatho and Ekkadundhi Naa Kodi (my favourite) - just what was needed. Needless to say, the BGM heightens the impact of the scenes in many places..especially, the killer BGM scene ;)

This Maranthen Mannithen movie review at galatta.com pretty much reflects my thoughts: http://www.galatta.com/tamil/reviews/maranthen-mannithen/829676475/

"One should say Adhi has literally carried the movie on his shoulders! Lakshmi Manchu's portrayal of the simple village girl Chitra, definitely needs a special mention! Her nonchalant acting is too good! Taapsee sizzles in her role as the naughty Sarala, and effects a sensual portrayal! Sundeep Kishan, though not too convincing as a rural lad, has given a commendable performance! Ravi Babu, Praveen and Dhanraj have played their roles to perfection!

Director Kumar Nagendra has taken a very touching storyline, with the 1980's Godavari Floods as the backdrop, and woven Maranthen Mannithen against it! Though the movie doesn't have comedy in it, the screenplay has been well handled to keep it interesting! The 80's feel has been recreated so wonderfully well not just in visuals, but also in the slang and choice of words! Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's music is heart-warming, and gives a major boost to the movie! The Computer Graphics depicting the rainfall and the floods have been wonderfully created! They create a visual splendour, on screen! The cinematography needs a special mention, and editing is perfect too! The art department, has proven to be a valuable asset to this movie!

Maranthen Mannithen, produced by Lakshmi Manchu, has lived up to its expectations, and touches people's hearts!"

Rediff review here: http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-maranthen-mannithen/20130322.htm

"Though the movie is average, music by Maestro Ilayaraja, the cinematography by M R Palanikumaar, and the CGI-aided visual effects should definitely not be missed. A must-watch."

It is really strange that it has been really quiet since the audio launch function of Nilachoru regarding wither the availability and/or reviews of the album. I have been checking itunes everyday hoping to find it listed. if anyone has any information on the delay as to why it is not broadly available and when it is likely, pls. let me know.

அப்பறம் ஏன் ஆடியோ ரிலீசை இவ்வளவு அவசரமாக வைத்தார்கள் என்று தெரியவில்லை. இத்தனை வருடங்கள் திரைத்துறையில் இருந்து என்ன பயன்? நமக்கு பாடல்களை கேட்கும் அவரசம் என்பது ஒரு புறம் இருந்தாலும், ராஜா சாருக்கென்று இப்படி எல்லாம் ஆட்கள் வந்து மாட்டுகிறார்கள் என்று நினைக்கும் போது வருத்தமாக இருக்கிறது. இதெல்லாம் நல்ல அறிகுறியாக இல்லை. இவங்க ஆர்வ கோளாறுக்கு ராஜா சார் கூப்பிட்ட இடத்துகேல்லாம் போயிட்டு வந்துட்டு இருக்கார்.

After a looong wait for the actual audio release after the audio launch, I was able to get a copy of the CD. It seems that the audio has been released by Raaja himself under the name "Raaja Digital Co.". Usually R.Sunderrajan's films will have atleast a minimum of six songs. But in this film, we have only 5 songs (one of them is a repeat). Whether R.Sunderrajan has still the old magic to deliver - we are not sure. But our man's magical music is intact!

Kallalae Senju Vacha - Pick of the Album. A refreshing Lullaby in Tamil after a very long time (Maybe after Nee Thoongum Nerathil from Manasellam). Haricharan has done a splendid job. As usual, Vaali's lyrics adds additional flavour to the melody. Again, Raaja has come out with a beautiful new rhythm pattern for the Pallavi. In the second portion of the Saranams, the continuous flow of Tabla which has a constant pause (silence) bowls you over. Interludes are sadly short.

Kalaiyilae Maalai vandhadhu - A new pattern song - Usage of Veena and Nadhaswaram brings a divine mood to the hearing. Sung by Sabthaparnar (Female). And his trusted lyricist Pulamaipithan does a neat job. Only experts from this forum have the eligibility to analyse this song.

Ungappan Perai Solli - A nayandi song (no compromise on melody front) with Raaja at his usual best. The chorus compliments his voice through out the song. Slow Drums pattern - still very enthuastic. Surprise - Gangai Amaran has penned this song for Raaja after a gap of many years!

Nandri Solla Vendum - Again a classy Divine feel duet. Sung by Karthik and Priyadarshini. Lyrics - Palani Bharathi. Usage of traditional instruments through out the song is refreshing. Can be compared to "Aagaya Vennilavae" category.

Kallalae Senju Vacha - Female version. Priyadarshini is brilliant. Tough to pick between her and Haricharan

Overall a refreshing Melody package - Hearing such melody songs in 2013 is something like finding a group of sparrows in our cities. Only Raaja can dare to deliver such pure musical form admist the garbage being dished out today. This Album will certainly going to haunt us for long...

kalaiyile malai vandhadhu reminds of "Oranjaram Usharaiyaa from Kakkai siraginiley"

1) நன்றி சொல்லவேண்டும் - கொள்ளை கொள்ளும் மெலடி. முதல் இடையிசை பிரமாதம். பரபரவென்று ராகத்தோடு ஓடாமல், நின்று நிதானமாக ரசித்து பாடும் கார்த்திக்கின் லாவகம் ப்ரியதர்ஷனியொடு சரணத்தில் இணைந்து பாடலை வேறு தளத்திற்கு எடுத்துச் செல்கிறது. பழனி பாரதியின் வரிகள் சிறப்பா வந்திருக்கு. சாஸ்திரிய தோல்கருவிகளில் அமைக்கப்பட்ட தாளக்கட்டு கேட்கும்போதே அதற்கு ஏற்றார்போல தலையை அசைக்க வைக்கிறது. "தூங்கிடாத கண்ணோரம் தேன்தெளிக்கும் சொப்பனங்கள்" - "வாங்கிடாத உள்மூச்சு உன்னை வாங்கச் சொல்கிறதே! - பாடலின் அமைப்பில் உயிர்ப்பான இடங்கள்.

2) காலையிலே மாலை வந்தது - வீணை, நாதஸ்வரத்திற்காக கேட்கிறேன். மற்றபடி ராக அமைப்புக்கள் இன்னும் பிடிபடவில்லை. சரணத்தில் "கேக்கலையோ கேக்கலையோ" பாடலின் சாயல் அப்படியே ஒளிவு மறைவில்லாமல. பாடலின் வடிவம் சீராக செல்லாமல் பல குன்றுகளில் ஏறி பயணிக்கிறது. அதுவே பாடலுக்கு பலவீனம் என நினைக்கிறென். வரிகளும் சொல்லிக்கொள்ளும் படி இல்லை.

3) கல்லாலே செஞ்சு வச்ச - ஓரிருமுறை கேட்டவுடனே ராக அமைப்பு மனதில் சம்மணமிட்டு உட்காருவதிலேயே அடித்து சொல்லிவிடலாம் ஒரு இடம் விடமால் இப்பாடல் நீண்ட காலத்திற்கு ஒலிக்கப் போகிறதென. பாடல் வரிகள் இதிலும் சொல்லிக்கொள்ளும் படி இல்லை என்ற ஒரே குறை. இசையும், குரலும் ஆக்கத்தை உன்னதமாக்கிறது. இரண்டாம் இடையிசையில் கொஞ்ச நேரமே வந்துபோகும் புல்லாங்குழல் மனதை மயிலிறகால் வருடிச் செல்கிறது. ஹரிச்சரண் பாடியவைகளில் மகுடமாக திகழப் போவது இது. "சாமியில்ல நீ, தெய்வமில்ல நீ" என்ற உவமை ரிப்பீட்டுக்களை தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம். "செய்கூலி சேதாரம் இல்லாத" :) - ஆரம்ப இசையின் ஆரம்பம் கார்த்திக் ராஜாவை ஞாபகப் படுத்துகிறது. தொடர்ந்து ஹரிச்சரண் நிறைய பாடல்களை ராஜா இசையில் பாடணும். ( பிரியதர்ஷனி பாடுவதில் உச்சரிப்புக்கள் அங்க இங்கே இடிக்குது. ஹரிச்சரண் இந்த விஷயத்தில் பிரியதர்ஷணியை வேகமாக முந்திச் செல்கிறார். இரண்டாம் சரணம் "நிலவு இன்ற்ரிரி போனாலும் பூக்கள் இன்ற்றி போனாலும்" )

4) ஒங்கப்பன் பேர : ஆட்டம் போட வைக்கும் துள்ளலான தாளக்கட்டு. இதுபோல ஒரு ராஜா பாட்டு கேட்டு ரொம்ப நாளாச்சி. சந்தோசம் பல மடங்கு. "பேருவைக்க புள்ள வேணுமெனக்கு , அந்த புள்ளகொடு செல்லக்கிளியே" என முடிப்பதில் ராஜா குன்றிலிட்ட விளக்கு போல ஒளிர்விடுகிறார். ராஜாவின் குரலை தொடர்ந்து நிழல் போல வரும் கோரஸை தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம். பையன் பொறந்தாலும், பொண்ணு பொறந்தாலும் தன்னோட அப்பா - அம்மாக்களின் பெயர்களையே வைக்கும் அளவுக்கு ஒரு ஆணாதிக்க உணர்வினை வெளிப்படுத்தும் பாடல் வரிகள்.

** மென்மையான உணர்வுகளை நிறைய பாடல்கள் வெளிப்படுத்துவதால் புல்லாங்குழல் இசையை நிறைய இடங்களில் பயன்படுத்தியிருக்கலாம். லூப் இசைவடிவங்கள் இலைமறைக் காயாக வந்துபோகாமல் பெரும்பாலான இடங்களில் வியாபித்திருக்கிறது. இதையும் குறைத்திருக்கலாம்.

My take on NilA chOru songs :

"Kalaale senju" , esp the Haricharan's very neat version[The female version is a let down] is a safe, minimum guarantee SindhuBhairavi. Though I may not go "ga ga" over it, the smoothness of the tune does give me a pleasant listen. Even the synth here is subdued , much to my relief.
I cannot say the same with "kaalaiyile maalai", though. The synth ridden veenai, nadhaswaram, thavil and the beats do bother me. For, it is the best composition in this album. The tune is intricate in Abheri. How lovely would it be if Raja were to use the real veenai and nadhas ! Sigh!!!
Is it that difficult to get decent veenai and nadhas artists in TFM for a reasonable budget? Rajavukke veLichham.
This complex tune only exposes the inexperience of the new singer Saptha. Her voice is definitely sweet. But so is Bela's voice . But this song demands the calibre of Shreya or Shwetha or Chitra.
I liked Saptha's rendition of "Kannan vandhu" and "muthumani". But "Kaalaiyile" 's charanams are unususual, free flowing and seem to unsettle her and her pronunciaion in pallavi , as V_Sji says needs to be worked on , if she wants to make a mark.
Need to listen to the rest and post.

"Naadi Thudikkudhadi" has to wait as I have not even soaked fully into "NilA chOru".

As all of you say, "Nandri solla vendum" is indeed a lilting number in Hamsadhwani. Majestic mirudhangam rules the song. The manner it accompanies the charanam flow is akin to small, rounded pebbles that are carried along with a stream tumbling down from a hill top. I have 3 issues with Priyadharshini.
1. She has range problem that is very evident in this song
2. Her pronunciation . I couldd decipher "koottal kaNakku" only after Karthik sings that.
3.Her voice is a tad too loud for Karthick's muffled nature. I would have infact preferred this song as a launch pad for newbie Saptha and reserve "kaalaiyile" only for ShreyaG.
I agree with V_SJi on the poetic lyrics in the charanams compensating for the rawness in the pallavi lines. It does taint and give a sort of incongruity to the classical flavour.

Ungappan - peppy pallavi and I even liked the "aha aha" chorus. Only if IR were to sing this one 2 decades back...."Ahaa Ahaa...."
The charam sags a bit losing some steam. Synth beats also weaken the song further.

Thanks for the links guys!

En Devadhai: Pleasing tune and music. Loved everything about the song, be it the prelude, tune, interludes or singing.

En poo nenjai: Kind of relaxed music with good tune. Initial portion of first interlude is a little familiar.

Kadhale Illadha: Is that IR singing in false voice (or is it KR?) First interlude is impressive with those guitar and synth sounds. I liked the bass portions in charanams (somehow I felt it is more prominent in 2nd one)

Velinadu Giramam: Was not impressed with the pallavi tune. The interludes are contrasting, probably something to do with the situation onscreen. Also, most of it are synthesized!. I loved the charanam tune though.

O la la: Very nice to hear this genre of music from IR. I liked it. Liked the tune as well. The song ends in a mini flourish of music.

My thoughts on CNC:

1. Kaalaiyile maalai vandhadhu: Unusual pallavi tune, but sort of liked it. Both interludes are good, especially the first one. Somehow did not like a different beat/rhythms at the beginning of charanam. Later it changes though. "Moongil kaadu" portion of tune reminds me of some other IR's song. Don't remember now.

2. Kallale senju vecha: A very good melody. Fantastic. I loved Haricharan's version. Sings with lots of feel. I always felt his voice is a mix of Karthik's voice, Sonu nigam's voice and a little of his own.

3. Nandri solla vendum: Pleasing melody with nice music. IR classic. I may have used less words to describe this song, but it certainly is part of my IR melody collection :)

4. Ungappan: The beginning music reminds me of a little of his TTLS song. Nice rhythm laden interludes (with a mix of strings)

I hope the songs are picturized / promoted to at least a decent extent. The same goes even for naadi thudikkudhu. Feel bad when many of his promising songs goes unnoticed.

Amazed (BTW, I have been amazed for many years) how many rhythm / sound scapes this man can produce and even at this age. Very inspiring.

My take on "nAdi thudikkudhadi" -

Ooo Laalaa... - I think the movie is filmed at Fiji islands. While the main tune itself tested my patience, I endured till the last only to be
surprised by a postlude with that caribbean brand beats and trumpets.

En devadhai - This is the song of the album IMO. A very fresh tune from Raja.
Fantastic guitar backing and groovy rythm add up to a very youthful number. Karthik at ease .
But the shrieky, loud lady voice that joins Karthik is giving me a head ache :(

veLinAttu grAmapurathil - Another bright melody in waltz style.. The simple but catchy tune well sung by the lead pair and very
vivid, imaginative interludes is sure to captivate the audience . Again Raja's fetish for
colloquial opeening lines adversely impact the smoothness and aesthetics of the song

En poo nenjai - An exquisitely crafted melody . Rita singing this is "kuruvi thalaila panankaai" case.
It is a song for Shreya or Shwetha or Saptha in that order. She adds no value by her thin, sharp voice that lacks modulation.
But a decent chorus, cool synth ambience sounds in pre and interludes cover up for the bothersome soap dabba[ Ubayam Nerd's coinage] beats and Rita.
