Saagar,
Any links to the 'Antaheen' songs? I had a similar feeling as you when I listened to the BGM of the latest Shyam Benagal movie, "Welcome to Sajjanpur". I could discern the Raja influence and was wondering who this is in HFM who scores so decently!!! The mystery was cleared when I saw it was Santanu Moitra who had scored the music. (Shantanu has the influence of both Raja and Salilda and as we know Raja himself has been influenced by Salilda's music.)
Suresh,
The link is here:

Suresh,
Your comments about Welcome to Sajjanpur songs is so very correct - I've been able to feel the same in his compositions - The "influence" can be felt, although it's very genuine stuff!
I remember reading somewhere (not sure if its hub) that "Appadi Paakkaradhunna veNaam" from "Ivan" was composed by Karthik Raja. Parthiban was the guest in latest episode of Coffee with Anu and he said it was composed by Raja after trying many other tunes for the same pallavi "appadi paakkaradhunna veNaam".
Suresh,
A very small thing, but I remember a portion dildara song
(sajjanpur) striking as "chandu pottu oru chandana pottu"(thevar magan)!

Saagar,
Thanks for the link. I listened to a couple of songs. Though his recording and instrumentation is modern, his soul is Salilda basically with influence of Raja. As you rightly said, he has imbibed the music of these masters and has created something which is his own. Good luck to him. (Unfortunately they don't let him give such music in Hindi movies :( For all its success, the music of 3 Idiots is not in the same class as this movie.)
One more
Sorry for the digression but this chella poNNu of IR deserves several national awards this year - these two songs from Anthaheen, and kaNNil pArvai
After IR, who lost many awards because he crammed several worthies together in one year, this is another talent who is losing out to herself!
Plum,
We shall ask the govt to let you head the committee next time :) If not Raja, atleast Shreya is guaranteed one more award !!
Suresh, for 2009 my support goes to kunnathE chitra, now that kannil paarvai is out of reckoning for next year :-)
