I am pretty amused by "Kali konda chamundi" from Pachcha kuthira. MG Sreekumar singing a rock song is not the only oddly funny thing about this song.

The movie did not have much scope for music and went unnoticed.... "Oru Thotta Vaadi" was the only hummable one.Quote:

raj_musing,
'Aaru Manikor' as you say is supposed to have been a dubbing film. Forgot the Tamil film name but I think it was the movie which had 'Oru Naal Unnodu Oru Naal'.
Plum,
'varavelkumo' is an excellent number from 'Pachakuthira'. I think that the music did not make much of an impact. Same with 'Sooriya'. I liked most of the songs, especially 'vasantha nila' but the impact generally was minimal.
That would be uravaadum nenjam I guess.
Varavelkumo and Neelambal were the only songs that I liked in Pachakuthira.The overly synth sound in Kalikonda Chamundi didnt impress me much.Frankly,after listening to couple of times, i felt it to be very noisy. But varavelkumo is a terriffic song. its recording quality too was outstanding. Just going by the tune, we might place the song in Telugu films (he did give such ones before, in telugu films) instead of Malayalam films.
Sooriyan was a very good album.Especially the classical songs in the album.& i wish IR paid some attention to the recording quality of "Vasantha Nilave" - a gem of a song, royally spoilt by shoddy sound engineering.That was his last "Sri Ranjani" raagam based song.
If it weren't for Raaja saab, my ears wouldn't be blessed with the following tunes, Nee Partha, Chinna Kannan Azhaikiraan, Senthoora Poove and the title instrumental piece from The Music Messiah.
All these songs and the whole album of Sirai Chaalai have been on loop since morning. :musicsmile:
raagas,
I know about your complaint of the sound recording of 'Vasantha Nila'. I have the tape with me (not the CD). I thought the sound recording was fairly decent in it.
Plum ;suresh
Varavelkumo song did not click very well.The movie bombed and hence nobody really noticed these songs.
The same fate happened for the movie "SMS". There were two good songs in that movie,but however that 'college teaser' song was aired mostly in the channels.That song also created only an average impact and disappeared along with the movie..Rarely does this happen to raja in Malayalam. If you look at all his compositions in Malayalam his success rate is very high. A few other songs in the past 20 yrs which had created minimal impact:-
1)Songs of Manjeeradwani(A bharathan movie released in early 90's).
2)Anuragakottaram
3)Aparatha
4)Kallu Kondoru pennu
raj,
True about 'Pachakuthira' and 'SMS'. Our own Rajasaranam was one of the brave fellows who went into the theatre and saw this movie. Atleast he saw part of the movie, the part being outside the theatre with 'dum' :lol:
There are three songs of 'SMS' that I like a lot. 'kadapurathoru' is a big hit in my house :) 'subha niyogamale' and 'povadhevide' are very good songs as well. 'kadapurathoru' was pathetically picturized and so was that college song.
I love most of the songs in the movies you have mentioned. 'Aparatha' is a gem of an album. Other than the Malayalam version of 'valli valli' ('melle melle'), it has a very different Christian devotional 'karthave' and an outstanding Chitra number, 'pullankuzhal'. I play 'pullankuzhal' and 'melle melle' in a loop regularly.
