a_e, supposed news is that ayngaran wants to release angadi theru first before nandalala as the grapevine is that nandalala is a tragic film and considering their last two films were flops they want to go on the safe mode and get angadi to theaters first. Nandalala's fate depends on angadi theru's success in other words.

http://bellitere.com/ilaiyaraaja-rings-gitanjali-bells-prem-kahani-music-review.html
The adage of ‘old wine in new bottles’ screams out from rooftops in Ilaiyaraaja’s Prem Kahani tunes. The album breathes average music with a flimsy sprinkle of hearable and pleasurable numbers. But then these pleasurable numbers only remind you of Ilaiyaraaja’s past glory. Stumped out compositions, lackluster tunes, scratchy voices all together make this album a complete fall-out.
Yaarivanu Yaarivanu: (Bela Shande): Inspirationally ‘Geetanjali’. This number has the mark of Ilaiyaraaja and faint tunes from his 1980’s Telugu blockbuster, Maniratnam’s ‘Geetanjali’. Setting aside the ‘Geetanjali’ factor, the song roles out as a slow sweet melodious number. The kind that tempers your senses while the hero captures the heroine’s heart.
Yaarivalu Yaarivalu: (Sriram Parthasarathi): The male version of ‘Yaarivanu Yaarivanu’. Kalyan’s lyrics and Sriram’s damaged throat dampens your senses. As for the hero capturing the heroine’s heart, P.T.Usha is the one who comes to mind instantly.
Hodedavne:(Tippu, Rahul): Tapankutchi and taporish, hodedavne literally sings praises of the ‘area hero’ in love. Well, the praises remain confined within the song with no marks for the entire package. Bland tunes, average lyrics and the Tippu/ Rahul kanta sound more like a dhobi thumping the clothes on a washing stone.
Giliya Mariyondu: (Ilaiyaraaja): While the furnished dwani of Ilaiyaraaja rings through the melancholous lyrics of Santosh, it is not difficult to spot a few slips in the pronunciation. Giliya mariyondu is the sad song in the album. More than sad, you will be glad – when it ends.
PremKahani
Rangu Rangu: (Ilaiyaraaja, Shreya Ghoshal): Yet another Geetanjalish number, Rangu Rangu is all syrupy, sugary and a pleasing number. The fusion of strings and beats weave well into the voices.
Nannavale: (Rahul): As if one sad song was not enough! The album has another one that chugs along incessantly at infinitum. If the first sad song made you feel glad at the end, you will get smart to hold your ears even before this one starts off.
Kogile Koogu Baa: (Bela Shande): The Kogile in Kaviraj surfaces, but Shande’s rather shrill koogu falls flat on the top. Kogile Koogu Baa, manages to drive away more than just the kogile.
Badavana Manege: (Sadana Sargam): Badavana Manege banda Balachanda in Sadana Sargam’s clear voice holds bhajan value. The pearls of wisdom flow out in a lullaby-like tune. No complaints about this number, no praise either.
Shringara Bangara: (Shreya Ghoshal): Spot the difference- the Shringara number and the Yaarivanu one. Apart from different lyrics, different voices and riding on a slightly higher pitch, the differences are few. What say Ilaiyaraaja?
I saw that website. Their previous review got slashed left right and center. Good thing i did not comment or it would be damaging.
Yup Hulk. The Nannavanu review was pathetic to say the least. Anyway we all are enjoying Nannavanu songs. The site gave Nannavanu only two stars and it has given Prem Kahani 2 1/2 stars. So I guess the songs must be even better than Nannavanu!! Nowadays it has become a fashion to write like this whenever a Raja album comes out.
Just think about the so called reviewers who rush to get it on the website. They just get it up online in a matter of hours. I wonder whether the would listen to the songs completely!
That too words like... "As if one sad song was not enough! The album has another one"... etc. irks while reading.
THADI EDUTHAVAN ELLAAM THANDAL KAARAN????????
Im gonna see this one ! Story should be good , considering how songs have turned out and its AV production!!!Quote:

There are a few more songs, whose samples I will load later when I get some time. For now, enjoy these and buy the CD as soon as you can. It is definitely worth it.

Nandri Suresh Ji. :D Yup those reviewers have no listening taste as well. Deducing a raaja song is more complicated then u think it is. Evanga yellam :curse:
Guys ,
post a review by urself .. :)
Thanks Sureshs for the upload.
I do not share the views of the person who 'reviewed' the album.
Judging from the samples all the songs have wonderful orchestration. There is a very breezy feel to each of them. Rangu Rangu is the most modern and instantly likeable of all but my personal favourite is the kogile koogu ba song.
Did anyone give a listen to Kalavaramaye madilo songs?
It is the second telugu movie of the director of Hope and he is a guest blogger at PFC .
Is it by IR?Quote:

"aa dinagaLu" fame Ilayaraja :lol: has composed the music for the movie
Prem Kahani Songs

From a super neutral point of view, the pathos songs are remakes of old thalaivar songs, the five female solos are wonderful with mostly soulful and simple orchestration. But the pick of the soundtrack will be these two songs rangu rangu and hodedavne.
Hodedavne especially is totally unexpected from thalaivar. Certainly does not sound like thalaivar composed it. But super maame :smokesmirk:
Hulk,
I will post my review after a few more listens but from the initial listens, I agree with what you say. Especially about 'Hodadavane'. It is definitely not like a Raja composition for these type of songs. The two songs in 'Nannavanu' are more the known Raja style for these type of songs. The energy in 'Hodadavane' is quite good.
The two pathos songs have the hallmarks of past Raja songs, the way the tune moves, the interludes, everything. Raja fans will like these but their general acceptability may not be too high.
The female solos are fantastic with both 'Sringara' and 'Koogu Kogile' being superb. 'Rangu Rangu' is super cool.
Overall a very nice album.
:exactly: suresh. But i feel some of our brigade will have problems with the "synth" usage in the songs. Still hodedavne perfectly justifies its synth usage.
Is it just me or does it look like IR feels frightened to give his best songs to someone else to sing?
:lol2: It is said that IR does all track recordings first and if the singers do not come on time he himself will record it. Not sure if this is the case for this as well. But Giliya Mariyondu sounds good in thalaivar's voice.
I have been observing this for the past 2 years :DQuote:

Just in the first hearing
Rangu rangu: has 80's written all over it. It seems like a rehash of some telugu songs of the 80's (Definitely not Geethanjali). It is like eating the Paradise biriyani, though the taste remains same over the years, feels fresh each time you eat :)
Hodadavane: Seems Raaja is all set to take on the GenX. Same smile as with the songs of 'Valmiki' was there in my face when the song started. interludes and the charanams are :notworthy:
Meethi songs ketkavae venaam ippothaikku :)
RS,
Your are spot on with the Paradise Biryani comparison. I have been eating there since ages and even now it feels fresh.
It's true that this year has been an onslaught as far as Raja is concerned and I am loving it :)
Nan Kadavul to Prem Kahani = 8 albums. And each album had its own wonderful songs. Absolutely phenomenal.Quote:

Relistening to Hodadavane. Ivalo naalum 'Perisu' summa vedikkai paathuttu irunthirukku intha chinna pasanga velaiyatellam :oops: It has everything to become a permanent bar song :)
:huh: I've listened to this atleast 4-5 times till now. Apart from Tune and the orchestrational brilliance this & the Instrumentation part is something very new from Raaja for me. For instance the Whistle coming in second charanam is unlikely for a Raaja composition. May be few more listens will take me to a path which Raaja has treaded already like 'Sing Swing' of moodupani.Quote:

Yup and kai veesi. There is a extremely catchy rhythm flow in the tune and song. :D
Hodedavne is becoming my favourite. Really unexpected and something which shows thalaivar could probably do a hip hop movie if someone gives him a chance.
