IR's Song of the day

Swathy, I guess the source for today's pick was the movie itself that was telecasted in one of the channels yesterday.

Co-incidentally I was watching Aavaram Poo in one of the channels around the same time. No points for guessing what song I was waiting to watch in that movie... Of course, our first song in this thread.

Coming back to today's pick, nativity is one strong factor for this song and in fact all songs in this movie. I thought Janaki's voice suited Sukanya well, begining with this song and following up with few other songs in Chinna Goundar, Chinna Maapillai, Walter Vetrivel, etc. May be this song was a trend-setter for a female lead's voice gelling well with a particular actress.

Enthan nenjil neengatha.....KJJ & Janaki from Kalaigan!
A slow tempo magical mystique from shri.Ilayaraja! Raaja zigzagging in his aalapana ‘s g r m g r s n....’ is fascinating!!! KJJ delivers the song with his resonant voice matches Janaki’s vibrance!! Romantic indeed! Love you Ilayaraja! Vinatha!

My Comments: Can anyone please tell me the instrument used in the introduction. very good start. beautiful song. I expect more comments from you all :-)

Swathy, yet another song that matches my taste with yours and certainly it will with others in this thread as well.

It is a good question to ask on the intrument. I just think it could be a winged instrument like a strange trumpet.


I remember watching this movie just for the songs.. pretty ordinary movie from a genious like Balu Mahendra.

Shall come back more on this song.

Thanks renault :-)

Not much activity on this thread for a few days...
I liked the songs, most of which I hadn't particularly noticed before.
I was listening to one such song for the first time today, and I thought, why not add it to this thread?

Song: Andhi varum neram
Singers: SPB, S Janaki
Film: Mundhanai Mudichi (1983)

Its got all the usual IR mix, great melody, great violin orchestration, trademark IR chorus intro...
hope you like this song

good song ananth. actually I was waiting for more feedback for the previous song.

very good melody by IR. This movie also has got other good songs like velakku vacha nerathila thanananana , chinnajchiru kiliye , naan pudikkum mappillai than .

title song by IR is a very good start for the movie. I really miss now. :cry:

the song is in mayamalavagowla, one of IR's favorite raagas.
this scale has flat dha and sharp ni
In the middle of the charanam ("neeraduthu..." part) he uses both sharp dha and flat ni, going to some derivative of chakravaakam I think, another of his favorite raagas. Then he goes back to mayamalavagowla, its beautiful.
The song keeps sounding better and better the more I hear it!

btw raaga has a better quality recording of the song:

Hi ananth, Iam wondering at the sheer coincidence. Just now I posted in IR's album thread about IR's MMG in the song "enga ooru laila" from Karagaatakkari and here you are talking about the same MMG raga!!!
