I have this doubt for long long time about the word 'Rehash'.Quote:

Majority of us termed this song looks similar to odathannil.
K - பூவக்கேளுபாட்டுக்கும் “மலையோரம்மயிலே”(ஒருவர்வாழும்ஆலயம்) பாட்டுக்கும்ஏதாவதுதொடர்புஇருக்கா
venkkiram - பூவைக்கேளு காத்தைக்கேளு" பாட்டின் பல்லவியை பாடிப் பார்க்கும் போது அடிக்கடி "அரும்பாகி மொட்டாகி பூவாகி" பாடலின் பல்லவி நினைவுக்கு வந்துவிடுகிறது.
Sureshs65 - states similar to Mazhamega Chelin
So, first there is no ONE original song which can be found which can be related to Poovakelu. Even if we take "odathandil" song as the ONE original suggested by majority here, just wanted to understand whether Poovakelu can be termed as 'Rehash' to Odathandil.
I too find this song similar to odathandil, but the similarity ends after the first line IMHO. May be this song is composed in the same raaga, but does that really qualify to define this as a 'Rehash'. Just curious to know?
.. and in twitter I see people appreciating the music. Nice.

:musicsmile: Annanmar Kathai :musicsmile:
I find this song to have more similarities with “The Music Messiah” (Title piece) and not “Thiruvasagam”. This is due to the transition between genres in the former - they are depicted with the same ease in Annanmar Kathai. Although not all genres in both songs are the same, nonetheless it is the use of synth orchestration which shares alike characteristics.
Raaja – who I think is granite when it comes to teasing and manipulating the listener. I feel so immature and worthless when I hear these kinds of compositions. One second I am completely spellbound with complete shock on my face whereas just after that moment I am completely nodding along with the smile humming along. It is the lullaby part in both songs which pulls the sentimental strings out of my heart. I wonder why Raaja doesn’t just compose a whole song rather than inserting approximately one minute or less of absolute magical fantasy. Those portions enable everyone listening to escape to somewhere supernatural. The last time I felt like this was during the postlude of Acchadicha Kaasai, which I’ve already stressed.
Lastly, just when I thought the song was going to conclude, Raaja drops a folk a capella, which makes one think how much more are we going to be teased. Listening to such songs drives me crazy and just when you hear comments like Raaja has lost it from his doubtful fans, he not only proves them wrong but also increases his fan following in subtle ways.
Annanmar Kathai for me is one of the best songs of the decade and certainly the best song delivered by Raaja sir post Hey Ram!

I've never listened to this series fully before; so much to take in and ponder over in IR's talk. When he explains the conception of the shift (graha bedham) from Rasikapriya-MMG-Rasikapriya, I was awestruck! And what does he call it? Truth...Truth behind the modulation/cheating! That it's already there in MMG and that he just 'took it' from there! (And what do we mortals do? Discuss pages after pages about modesty and stage discipline! Adengappa! :clap:)
aptly written.Quote:

I was struck by the orchestral backing of Madhu balakrishnan's voice lamenting the fate of the new born..
Usha,
'hai apna dil' does look like a good candidate for being the inspiration of 'kannai padithen' song.
Nice writeup Sunil. As I wrote in my review earlier, the concluding folk piece on that song is amazing. What a simple and soul stirring melody.
Jai: That's exactly the place where I was impressed with what Raja was trying to do with the synthesizer and that was also the place where I felt that had a manual orchestra played a part, it would have elevated it to even greater heights.
