It's Naan Porandhu from Maya Bazaar (1995). The link below has the song in good quality...

Man this guy is truly amazing...... Composed a typical Raaja song..... after a long long time naattupura thalammum, themmangum pattaya kilaputhu.... 2010 starting on a high note....
At last got a CD of Raja's recently released???!!! devotional album "Ramanaa Saranam Saranam". The CD has very limited info, only the track listing with singers names. Not released by any audio label & not even price (Rs.50 actually) mentioned in the CD cover.
Its available only at Ramanaashram, Thiruvannamalai and got it through a friend from TVMalai.
I'm wordless to describe the songs. Its an experience.
Don't miss this album, friends
Shank, thanks for the link. I have'nt heared this song before. I don't know how I missed it. Truly an amazing song. Very very ahead of our times. May it was meant to be heared only after 15 years.Quote:

Got the 'Ramana Saranam Saranam' album from Tiruvannamalai through a friend of mine. Seems that the album is available only in Ramanashram. The cover has only Ramana Maharishi's photo and you need to look carefully to see Illayaraja's name on the CD. He photo does not appear in the front or the back cover.
There are 10 songs in this CD of which 8 are tuned by Raja. All 10 are written by Raja though. One Telugu song, written by Raja, is tuned by his guru, V Dakshinamurthy Swami. Another song is set to the Papanasam Sivan tune 'Eppadi Padinaro Adiyar' and Papanasam Sivan is credited as the music director.
This being a bhakthi album it doesn't make sense to 'review' it in the usual manner. So I will give you an idea of what the album contains. It starts with a very nice song based on Bageshri ragam. The next song seems to be in Mohanam. One Karaharapriya song, almost structured like a carnatic krithi, appears in this album. V Dakshinamurthy has tuned Raja's lyrics in Vasantha ragam. Raja has also reworked on the 'Maa Ganga' song giving it a more carnatic feel. There is a folk type song as well which is structured as if it is a conversation between two singers. Prasanna and Raja being the singers. Two songs are sung by Sriram Parthasarathy and in one song Bhava accompanies Raja.
Overall an album which the followers and believers will find to be a soothing one.

Would still IR be the MD??? :confused2:
I guess not. Given the market nuances, Kamal may not go for IR.But there is a possibility that he may go for his daughter :-). IR needs a few big projects with good themes to come back. I wud not say Marudhanayagam is one.
I don't think there're any "market nuances" against IR as for as TF is concerned.
He still has his own following in TN (which very few current MDs can talk about, even though they're scoring for big budget movies...also people don't care that much for MD's name anymore, IMO... for e.g. I don't think people care whether it's HJ or VA or GVP or YSR or er...IR....who scores for a Vijay film).
And whenever IR combo'ed with the likes of KH, he did deliver the goods (mostly in the BO too).
PR / pA showed last year that even in non-TFM territories, he delivers when the expectations are above average. There is no question about market success of these movies as well - did they bomb because they had IR's name?
So, if IR is not chosen for MN, it would be for reasons other than BO, IMSO!

This is the advantage of working with "established names". One instantly gets a new set of people "discovering" you :-)

Ilayaraja to score music for Ajay 's next
Jan 4, 2010 - 8:00:47 AM
Ajay who has turned lead hero with films like Aa Okkadu and Saarayi Veerraju is now doing another film as the actor. This time he tests his luck in Tamil too. Tamil director Sethu Madhavan will direct his next film simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. Maestro Ilayaraja will score the music for it. The film will be launched in Chennai on January 18th.

Hmmm. The way it is going will 2010 be a Telugu oriented Raja year as 2009 was a Kannada oriented one? Let's see if we get one more 'Om Shanthi'.
Objection your honor - 2009 was another MFM year (both scores were good and movies were super hits) :-)
I want a tamil 2010 year for Raaja fans :)
app_eng,
I meant in terms of number of movies done outside of Tamil. Of course MFM was the beneficiary in terms of outstanding output but 4 films in Kannada was the largest after Tamil.
Ofcourse we want 2010 to be Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada year for all Raja fans :D
you are waiting for another Om Shanti. I am still waiting for another Nirnayam, Saagar Sangamam, Rudraveena etc. Ofcourse films like Rudraveena or Sagarasangamam dont get made these days.But I am waiting for atleast complete commercial score, with artistic IR touch like Stuartpuram Police Station. Infact, one film-maker who should work with IR is Shekhar Kammula. He has a flair for good music, soaked with good lyrics.if only he approaches IR.he can extract much better stuff than dozen Om Shantis.He doesnt even need to put an effort to extract because it is IR there and the moment a director with taste approaches him, IR too justifies it.Quote:

1.'adhi ushas': the entire song is structured along the lines of western/european classical music, especially the chords - the chords placement/structure is critical for giving such a feel, other things follow this - such a trick is employed by rock-pop musicians/bands to give the nice rich feel - but the song melody itself is very oriental in feel - and i was zapped when he asked me "is the song about a group walking through the woods or something like that ?" - he doesnt know a single word in malayalam! thats the magic of IR - there are some other technical explanations he gave which were way too theoretical and went over my head (a la curtley ambrose bouncer to some tailender in the 1990s!)
2. 'edeya bagilu' - classic smooth jazz was his verdict
and as a bonus he listened to 'kannukkulley' title track - and told me that 'this guy (IR)' is quite a serious composer rooted in classical mold! there were bits of the theme which he replayed at least thrice and told me 'thats a weird glissando, something you wudnt find in western classical, but interesting how such a glissando gets linked with the western classical part'
As Vignesh pointed out in his article 'IR is indeed an island working in the Indian music scene'!
Quite an interesting observation. Both regarding the western classical chord placement and him identifying with the picturization immediately!!Quote:

Have a feeling that Om Shanti & Suryakanthi may turn out chart busters, basis how the movies also turn out..
My 4 yr daughter is hooked to songs from Chan Channare, Edaya bagilu , Chinna polike, Ottesi Chebutha & Swalpa soundu in a way that amazes me as she does not know a single word in either language - She keep murmuring parts of these lyrics to tune!
She keeps selecting these frequently from the playlists...
Kids are an effective barometer to gauge the "connect" of songs!
Saagar,
Hmmm. That is quite surprising I would say. I think it was Jai who had earlier mentioned about his daughter liking 'Ottesi'. As you say, how good the movie is will have a bearing on the reach of the songs. Let's hope the movies are good and do well at the BO. Will be nice to hear 'Suryakathi' songs on the FM radio.
Saagar,
The surprising part is the kid liking 'Edaya Bagilu' and "Chinna Polike'. Must have inherited your music sense :D
my wife and i both like nenu nenuga.
my kid absolutely loves om shanti (raagas pardon pls) and om shanti and the chinna polike duet version. she would say 'I want the fast piano' I was like what song is that and when we kept fast forwarding and playing each song in the track - there was the fast piano in the prelude. she has connected to the album completely. Unnai patri sonnaal and enge nee sendralum are among other joint family favourites among recent raaja tunes...
raagas,
Jai's kid must be making you feel old now :D How fast we age in this internet era !!
Paa, 3 Idiots win big time
Paa bagged five awards, including Best Actor award for Amitabh, Best Actress for Vidya Balan, Best Child Actor for Pratik and Best Supporting Actress for Arundhati Nag (who played Amitabh's grandmother in the film).

Jaiganes, Suresh,
that generation gap is not new to me :) but jaiganes, ensure that your kid learns music. may be, she will come back to you and say that "bass line" in Chinna Polike is interesting than a very machinated "Om Shanti" ;) Then may be,i can say "See, I was and I am young" :)

Aaah. The bassline in 'chinna polike'. Love it, even if it makes me look old !!!
Suresh,
Not too sure about that part of the inheritence! She enjoys all categories of songs but most preference is for melodies!
But, one thing is the connect with IR. Even my wife is surprised, when for many songs, she hears for the first time, remains hooked & asks for a repeat, it's invariably an IR song. Like thumbi Vaa - one of the initial favourites to Jotheyali.... Raja raaja chozhan.. even Maarugo... many such songs for which she has even not seen the visuals yet... & these invariably move into long time favourites!
