I am waiting...
i loved pudhiya manidhaa better than ballelakka... ofcourse oruvan oruvan is cult...
Softu .. Welcum back yaa :)
Is Engae Pogudho Vaanam the same song in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDErUyk55Q ? If so, then it will be the second romantic duet sung by SPB for SS composed by ARR, the first one being Suthi Suthi. If it isn't the same song in the clip then we can expect another song sung by SPB for the mass intro sequence.
Puthiya Manida is my favourite song too but its execution in the movie was non-existent so can we call it an intro song for SS. Just sharing my thoughts on the song from different thread http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...l=1#post593679 I'm surprised why Shankar who delivered the best climax in Indian Cinema couldn't do Justice to ARRs song on screen. May be it was his choice or may be ARR's song so powerful that no cinematography will do justice to it.
In terms of execution than Balleileka stands tall any day
You can hear the glimpse of enge pogutho vaanam

I’ve clearly let myself down. When the release date of the single was announced I thought to myself that I will enjoy the album as a whole and avoid temptation of being drawn to hear the single but the Rahman Ji fan in my mind lost the battle to the Rahman Ji devotee in my heart. If I spend more time with a single compared to the whole album that shouldn’t affect my likeness for the rest of the album, should it? Songs just come with the wind, some take you with them and some don’t.
I started listening to “Engae Pogudho Vaanam” with zero expectations as I’ve come to the stage where it makes me cringe if the fanatic inside me starts spurting pointless praise and also expectations create disappointments. It’s time for a superficial analysis and respect this song as ARR, SS & SPB’s debut. Impossible? No, never lol
So the song starts off like numerous Film scores from Disney but its SPB whose shoulders the song rides on. He carries the song from strength to strength. I’m no linguist but the pronunciation sounds so pure and so “Thamizh” unlike the “Madras Bashai” and “Tanglish” clogging up the scene these days. Rahman Ji has definitely taken the back seat this time and has let SPB take complete charge. By the way, whilst listening to this song did anyone else feel that SPB should have sung Arima Arima.
I’m not trying to say that Rahman Ji is completely overshadowed. The arrangement is very generic for this sort of song and there is no signature interlude that used be the highlight of his songs back in the day. But if we go beyond this retrospection then we can witness innovative elements in Rahman Ji’s composing style. Very Hollywood-ish is an understatement and I don’t want to sound defensive but no other song in the history of Indian Cinema has completely transported me to Hollywood. We don’t want him to be like them but who are we in deciding that? Conversely, the vocals sound very earthy reflecting the Royal Sangam Period. When SPB chants the lines, “Vetri Changoli Endrume. Oyaadhu… Oyadhu” then I cannot help but bow down the veterans calibre. The melody is very un-ARR-ish but immediately catchy and that itself proves the credibility that inspires many alike.
Rahman Ji has pushed the envelope for himself in giving full freedom to SPB. He squeezes in Carnatic and Medieval sounds in parallel that it’s hard to distinguish the two in this otherwise Complete Western Classical Score.
Where does Rajini Sir fit admits this? Rajini Sir is the skeleton and SPB is the flesh. The two are synonymous. Prior to SPB’s intro one can imagine him riding his horse at lightning speeds. To top this, in the film we will see him an animated avatar. Oh Gosh I’m really getting excited like a kid but I’m not going hang on to these excitement just yet.
Watch this space?
Happy Listening

Wow Pearl Diamond !! your lyrics are rear diamonds indeed !Thalaivaar Thanking his fans put a smile and some tears in eyes :).

How I can forget SPB! thank you sir for another good intro song.
ARR :bow: perfect intro song..
Superb Orchestration ! Good Lyrics.. Surprise is the younger Voice from SPB. Hope to get the entire Album soon..
The usage of brass brings all the grandeur to the song.. Pullarips
Took a while to decipher it. LoL. good one !
super ji. Same pullarips
Firstly a sincere write-up speaking the experience you had while listening to the song. Last night I visited the site and read several articles. Good ones. Bookmarked it.
Just wanted to mention that the opening was like making Superman doing a u-turn and going back to Krypton to retire in a chair, giving way for the Warrior Prince. The grandeur is extraordinary.
lol am good dilbert...
i don't have high hopes on this album. Engae Pogudho Vaanam sounded more like a desperate attempt to recreate oruvan oruvan magic. And it only worked to an extent because of SPB.
Hope I am wrong !
Oh Btw Diamond Pearl ! Question You have written a line "Aagaayam Thaduthal Paayum Paravai Aavom" i thought only mammals and fish can jump even birds too in mid air ?
Bharathi wrote :
paayum oli nee enakku
parkum vizhi naan unakku
thoyum madhu nee enakku
thumbi adi naan unakku
Atleast Vairamuthu refered to a living thing, no !
Paayum here is not leap or jump, but soaring (as in soaring eagle).
And Bharathi's paayum refers to the flood of light.
Its pure poetry.
ரஹ்மான் இசையில் இதுவரை வந்த பாலு பாடல்கள் முதல்முறை கேட்டபோதே பிடித்ததுபோல "எங்கோ போகுதோ வானம்" அமையவில்லை. மெலடி மிஸ்ஸிங். வரிகள் அப்படியே. ஒருவேளை மீண்டும் மீண்டும் கேட்டால் பிடித்துப் போகும் என நினைக்கிறேன்.
தமிழ் வரிகளை ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதி முன்னோட்டத்தை அமைத்தது யாரோட யுத்தி? தரமற்ற திட்டம். சௌந்தர்யா போன்றவர்களிடமிருந்து இதைத்தான் எதிர்பார்க்கமுடியும். ஆறுதலான ஒரே விஷயம் - படக்காட்சிகள் பிரமிப்பா இருக்கு. இந்திய அளவில் என பெருமை தட்டிக் கொள்ளலாம்.
