Songs of IR and Rajnikanth

Been a silent visitor for so long, thought of doing some justice as a IR fan, so wanted to start this thread for RK songs composed by the maestro.....
When driving to work this morning, happened to listen to old CD which got this song 'Sandhana Kaatre' from the movie 'Thanikaatu Raaja'. I could vaguely remember that this movie came around 1983/1984 watching it in Alankar theatre in Chennai, but the important point is how does the song felt so fresh and especially the interludes which got that violin piece..incredible...what a great feeling..of-course SPB and SJ did their job without any doubt...

RK should listen to his old movie songs during his leisure time and need to think about it...how he missed working with our talented maestro...

`sandhanakkAtRE' has an extraordinary prelude. Listen to that in full volume in your car and you may end up reaching top speed before SPB starts

So much energy packed into it...

The song reaches its pinnacle of glory when SPB-SJ hum together in the end of each saraNam - the memorable, unique, harmoniuous humming...

I didn't see the movie (probably a good thing, as some directors do not have any sense as to how to use a great song - e.g. `pEsakkoodAdhu' in aduththa vArisu)...can someone post whether `sandhanakkAtRE' was picturised on Rajini-Sridevi or Rajini-Sripriya or Jayshankar-Sridevi or Jayshankar-Sripriya or may be Rajini-silukku/anuradha etc...

yes app_engine, it is picturized with rajni - sridevi. i dont remember the movie story line or anything, but few years back i watched this song in one of IR isai thendral videos and this song was there.

Thx for that suggestion i will try that when i go back home....

In my opinion IR is the only MD who is able to match Rajini with his music.

How come no one is mentioning the around 90's films like Ejamaan, or Thalapathi. Those had great music.

**buggle** · 10th February 2006, 08:51 PM

I agree with you Usha, you got a good list as well..

Next song i like to discuss is 'Meenamma Meenamma' from Rajadhi Raaja.
Some interesting facts abt Rajadhi Raaja are..
1. RK first tried his sunglass rotating style in this movie and he followed that in series of his movies
2. I guess this is the first movie where he started the style with his hair

Another important record that was broken is the cassette sales for this movie, which surpassed any previous records in tamil industry (not sure abt the number of cassettes sold)..

Coming back to the song now, i definitely would say wrong choice to have Mano for this song, since Mano could not able to sing the song with the same tempo as SPB , even KSC voice could have been better..
But the tune and esp the first interlude where the trumpet and veena comes into play, omg..it was amazing and for the entire song IR maintained that rhythm, it was outstanding...........kuodo IR...
