Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[KV]

Ponnar Shankar - sumaara oru alavukku romba nallave irrukku.

Annamar kadhai, Bhavani varugira, Malar villilae - heady mix of styles, tunes and instruments. Nativity/authenticity and all, for this movie, I'd want to leave it to bhairavan, at one corner of the leaf. Just for these 3 songs, despite rough, uncut edges, I'd buy PS over the simplistic ASK.

Kannai pidithen, Thedi vandha - agmark love-it-loathe-it modern IR.

Kodi kotti - ostrich head in the sand dhaan. Raaja's kosuru for election campaign eh?

(It took a while to put behind that prankster's song list and accept this. Thumburu, I'm guessing you'd skip the album on the whole and listen just to the last minute of veena+flute piece finishing off Malar villilae!)
