19th August 2006

Movie : Thani katu raja
Star : Super * & Radha
Song : SANDANA KATRE SENDHAMIZ UTRE
Singers : SPB & S.Janaki


The preludes & interludes consisting drums, flutes , violin , spell binding composition.

Another Raja classic of the 80s

SPB’s voice modulation was nice & fits well for Rajini !

Ensoooooiiii :D

Nakkeeran sir, too many songs .. but I will chose to comment on the latest.

Sandhana kaatre has the best combination of amazingly long prelude(may be 19 secs) and great counterpoint between Flute and Violin.

In my opinion this song is too much for a masala Rajinikanth movie. Rajini should be forever indebted to Raja for catapulting his films of those days into a different league just for songs.

One interesting aspect in this song is in the begining of the interlude before the second charanam...

Janaki will end as santhosha paatte va va and from then on the interlude tune will pick the same tune-tempo where Janaki leaves with the Va Va tune tempo... amazing creativity shown by Raja there. From then on counterpoint plays a mighty game in the interludes and that's a different story altogether.

I am planning to have portions of this song's prelude as a ringtone.

Dear Nakeeran,
THanks for the nice pics of SPB in IR's Music.Especially the song "Thendral nee thendral nee"

Nicely quoted SPB's Humming !!!!

SPB’s is superb when he says – aha aha aha ahaa

The song "Sandhana katrae" also has a sweet humming by SPB and SJ !!! it's a sugar syrup !!!!!

Thanks for the nice picks !!

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

Thanks Renault & Usha Shankar :D

Unmai. This song was too too good for a Rajini masala movie . Another song wasted :cry:

True ! continuing the end tune as an interlude was something new which was unheard of earlier ! Raja had all the freedom to experiment , I believe :D

As u mentioned the continuity, I was amazed by another Raja beauty & this time its from NOORAVADHU NAL - Mani vannan movie in which Mohan & Nalini celebrate their honeymoon

Listen to the second interlude after Janaki ( this time also S.Janaki ! ) completes ponnum minnum, violin takes over & Raja unleashes all his tricks :D

So, this song VIZIYILE MANI VIZIYIN MOUNA MOZI is my song of the day :

http://as01.coolgoose.com/music/song...cd3c8537f7690c

Singers : SPB & S.Janaki
Stars : Mohan & Nalini ?
Direction : Manivannan !

For a change, Raja starts the song without any prelude music !

Wonder, how many such songs he did without preludes ?

Another feature - While Janaki sings her part during charanam, SPB will give a laugh & when SPB does his part, Janaki does the same ! all innovation of sorts :)

Can I request veteran hubbers to post the link to the following song.

athamaga thangathukku enna mayakkam -
this was from the film thangamadi thangam.
ambika in a dual role with s.v.sekhar and direction by rama narayanan.
singers - p.suseela, malaysia vasudevan.
The film was released in the 80s and regularly found a place in ilangai vaanoli. It is a soothing themmangu.
The interlude is particularly melodious.
The film was the regular double act movie - refer vaani raani, enga veetu pillai. one of the twins is naive while the other is street smart. There was this scene about whipping the baddie ( i suppose this was pushpalatha).
This was one of the movies in which ambika played a double role. ( pei veedu and dhandanai are the others).
I would be thankful if anyone can send me this song or post the link.
THanks.

arunprasad,

Song : NILAVU THOONGUM NERAM
Movie : kunguma chimiz
Singer : S.P.B
Stars : Mohan & Ilavarasi

http://as01.coolgoose.com/music/song...9936ac20291f6d

Listening to this song will make u sleep !
A slow paced composition
Extensive use of mouth organ
Flute during the interludes are typical of IR :D

The song gets repeated through S.Janaki also !

Beautiful lyrics ! Who had penned it ?

Today’s pick is from KIZAKKU VASAL

Though the entire movie forms part of IR’s eternal classics, my pick however is :

VANDHDHE AHA KUNGUMAM

Singer : Chitra
Star : Revathy

The chorus preludes & the violin & the final clapping – terrific !

Song of the day : KAISE KAHOON

Hi all

IR had already composed a Hindi song in tamil movie – NANDU in the 80s , directed by Mahendran !

Sung by Bhupender Singh & S.Janaki, a nice composition & orchestration by Isainyani

But I believe , it was not that appreciated by fans !

But I enjoy hearing it .

Here is the link :

So before today’s Kaise Kahaan , already there was a Kaise Kahoon ! :D
