delayed response:

I am totally smitten by this composition. I know that 99% IR fans will find it odd if i say that i usually do not like literally every Janaki-IR combination. Yes, there are some good songs, but somehow, i have some reservations about Janaki's voice, with all due respects to her talent. Yet, there are many IR numbers in which Janaki shines. This song is one of them. Now, what elements in his song actually demanded my love for it?
1. Rarely i see a serious song in Chalanaata raagam.
2. Janaki hits 10/10.
3. String section - IR, for the nth time, proves his command over the string section. Wonderfully composed pieces. Interludes rock bigtime. But ilaiyaraaja doesnt leave you there. Watch the way the violins swirl around after the 2 charanams are done, they just cascade to a mighty finish. Now, thats his genius.
4. After i heard this song, it sounded very familiar to me, and i was sure that there is a telugu counterpart to this song. It was hovering in my mind and i was unable to get it. After 4hours, it sudden struck to me that this song is actually an improvisation from a short song - "Nee Gaanam" from Telugu film "Sitara". I could find similarity and then i realized that Nee Gaanam is also in chala naata (new discovery).

Corollary: It happens many times, that i cannot recognize the raaga of a song and later, on some other occassion, i recognize the raaga of another song and suddenly it dawns on me that they are parallels, yet treated differently.

Bottomline - Ilaiyaraaja is an unparalleled genius. Hence Proved.

Nice analysis raagas. I know that many people have some reservation about Janaki's voice but once you get used to it you can find out what sort of genius she is.

Usha, I am sure Rajasaranam would be happy with your pick of the Rajasthan song. He has been talking about how Raja had used various styles in this movie and had uploaded the songs on his site.

This song is very nice. What is interesting is the way the bit Hindi song comes in. There is no trace of any South Indian touch in that. When I hear stuff like this it makes me feel that Raja was not very interested in scoring for Hindi movies else he could have easily scored songs with the Hindi film music touch.

Guys,

At the next opportunity, i would like to discuss Kovil Pura song - Amuthe Thamizhe and the other Rasikaranjani " Nila Kuyile".. In Magudi or mogamul .. I did not even know about this Nila Kuyile song until very recently..

Mind blowing. Whenever i listen to Amudhe Thamizhe, i get goose bumps during the lines "... Koon mezhugai urugum . ..athil ulagam marunthu pokum..". I read somewhere that IR himself considers this one of his personal favorites and expected a National award for this song but did not get it.

Cheer
