Is it only me feeling this way or some of you too feel the same ? Iam talking about the female solo song "indha ulagil naan irundhaalum" from the recent movie "Madhu". Why does it sound like a Christian church song? Though the orchestration is good, the singing is flat without any gamakam and the overall texture of this song is churck like. Is it deliberate?
Thats because the heroine in that song wants to become a NUN -thats why .
A comparison betwene this Poo Pookum Minsaara Kanavu-
Both are sung by similar characters but there is a great deal of difference in the song .Raaja's song was more suited to the movie ,but no way near a hit .Rehman song did have some traces of the mood but a huge commercial mood.
MumbaiRamki, unfortunately Shalini is not a Chitra or a Sujatha to elevate a mediocre tune to good listening pleasure. This is what Chitra and a nice orchestration did to a very pedestrian tune like "endhu paranjaalum" in "Achuvinte Amma" . But "swasathin thaalam" from the same "Achuvinte amma" is a different ball. The tune itself is catchy with good flow in the Charanam too. One could make this out even when IR sings out to the director, playing the harmonium. The harmony and western orchestration transform this tune to sheer magic
There is a reason to choose shalini -she is a trained singer from convent (Vijay TV sangamam)..she is not that emotive but not bad
I like 2 songs "Nilavai chutri" and "ketkavillaiyaa" in that order from the recent "Madhu".
"Nilavai chutri" - Tippu has done a commendable job in "Nilavai chutri", though I miss my fav SPB for such pleasant, peppy numbers. IR might have used synth for these 2 songs. But it is the composition that matters. Synth is only an implementation. The guitar fillers are absolutely Rajaish.
Ketkavillaiyaa - This unconventional tune is a big plus . The first interlude is a sheer beauty while the second interlude just bridges the charanam
I heard IR is choosing/selecting only good movies now a days. May be true in MFM but not in TFM. Madhu is a horrible movie. I wonder why Christines in TN didnt protest this movie. It is definitely against their sentiment. If becoming nun is a sin (according to the director) we wouldnt have had Mother Teressa.
This director must have loved some girl and she would have become a nun and he is wetting out. Idiot.
I used to like Ketkavillaiya song before watching the movie. Now I cant anymore. What a waste of IRs time.
what abt Minsaara Kanavu?
njv this is a childish way of seeing a movie IMHO :huh: The movie was a total waste is another thing but the theme was good enough for IR to get involved in this project. whats wrong with a guy falling in love with a girl who aspires to be a nun. As ramki pointed out 'Minsaaru kanavu' held the same theme and it was the making of that movie which made it a hit.Quote:

The director of madhu falls in the first category.
Well Iam thinking now after reading your post - why this movie was not protested by the christians...If then the movie would have got noticed and would have been a hit for unfathomable reasons :)
"why this movie was not protested by the christians." - well , seems they are training their guns on a bigger fish like "Da Vinci Code" instead of wasting their energy on a nonentity like "Madhu"
To some extent, Aruvadai Naal and Konji Pesalam had the same theme.
