Ilankiliye innum vilankaliye from ShankarLal was a super duper hit - at least in Sri Lanka. Radio Ceylon used to play that song several times a day.
I have it in one of my IR collections CDs - so I am assuming it is by IR and not GA.
Not sure of the other songs
Thumburu
U r right - When they put the names, they had both IR and GA names as MDs......
I guess GA couldnt shine because of his own Godly bro..... GA has given some decent hits of IR range in Vaazhve mayam. Another song that may deceive anybody is Vaaname mazhai megame from madhumalar - superb duet song.
GA looks like he is atleast as talented as Kavingnar vazhangiya devarin Sankar-Ganesh...... But be warned with SG's melodies as they easily get inspired by other's tunes (another way to tell eeyadichan copy).....
Ilankiliye a top 10 classic all-time composition of any genre is by IR, other songs by GA in Sankarlal. (Yes, there was no day in Radio Srilanka without this song in the late 70s, I think) :)
BUT , Ilankiliye bears a dramatic resemblance to HUM BANEY TUM BANE EK DUJEY KE LIYE by LP in Kamal' debut Hindi film. (1981) :o
So, was IR inspired by LP or vice versa????? Which came earlier is my question? Both Kamal movies (one a huge flop, another a super duper hit!)
BTW, Thedinen (sung by MV) by GA is totally inspired from a Kraftwerk tune "Neon Lights"!!!!!
But, Kasturi Maan (GA) is a superb superb composition, IR has a similar one in a movie called SOOLAM, Naan Devadhai ( breathtaking number) :D
natha. have no doubt, "iLankiLiye" came before atleast a couple of years before EkDujekeLiye. But I will not accept that the Hindi song was inspired from the Tamil as both the songs have tunes which can be found in many cinema songs before and after.The scale used in these songs may be similar. What makes "iLankiLiye" special for us is the superb orchestration . Just listen to the accordian (spelling??) piece in the 2nd or 3rd interlude.

thumburu: ilankiliye itself has a magical start, cannot describe this is words, IR in his most inspired moments, i also mentioned some time ago that there are a few more songs of IR that are i call wholesome magical - Manathil Yenna Ninaivugalo (Poonthalir); Pollaatha Aasai Vandhu (Kuva Kuva Vaathukkal); Nilavu Neram (Annai Oru Aalayam); Kaviriye KaviKuyiley (Adutha Vaarisu); Orchestration in these songs, not possible even by extraordinary geniuses!!!
Are we in IR's OLD albums?:-) NOM!
I saw "Ponmegalai" posters all over chennai. has anybody seen it? The posters have IR blow up.
Hi Teja,
A Telugu song query,
I was listening to a Telugu IR song 2 days ago from my Telugu IR songs collection which starts as " Manase Mayakkam" by SJ I think, which I am listening almost after a decade or so, which movie is that from? Is that from "Merupudaadi"?.
Also do you know of a CD version of " Darjadonga" songs
(suman movie), (I have the old echo cassette with Anveshana combo, the recording is pretty good much better than "Anveshana"), this entire week I have been listening to my IR Telugu collections during my commute, man what a gloriuos period that was ...from "Abhilasha" to "JVAS", every Chiranjeevi movie with such superb songs, even some unnoticed songs from "Kirathukudu" etc are also so great... we sure miss IR in Telugu .. we badly need a big time masala entertrainer from "Chiranjeevi -IR combo" with some good director ( well we can only wish...)

Hi guys - there are a couple of Telugu songs by IR, which are brilliant, but not as popular as they ought to have:
(i) Mogali Poovey - from KEECHU RALLU - stunning opening and a bass line forming a base for the entire score, drum rolls, a lilting violin piece that takes up the first interlude and flamboyant youthful rendering of a typical IRish melody, by SPB and Chitra
(ii) Mila Mila - from NIRNAYAM - take off the annoying 'love you' chorus interjections, and you have a classic - once again a terrific bass score and hip interludes
(iii) Ipudepu - from NIRNAYAM - adapted from IR's own 'valai osai' from Sathya - the song has a very very different sounding second interlude
