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

[Sureshs65]

V_S,

Wonderful posts about those three. Just got back after a hectic trip to Tirupati. Will try and translate it tomorrow. On the bus and my walk up to Tirmumala and coming back by bus, it was SRR all the way. Well, I should take back my earlier words that Jonnavithula's lyrics were not great. He has done a terrific job by giving us simple but effective lyrics. Nothing high flown here but they have immediate impact on the listeners. (Ofcourse I would still have loved to see what Veturi would have done here. )

I agree with your assessment about Chitra and Shreya's singing. I think irir123 also made this comment. And it is exactly those places that you mentioned that I too felt the difference. And yes, I would have loved if Chitra had a solo. But all said and done, this film probably has the best singer selection of all Raja films of late No controversy at all.

In Tirupati I heard these songs being played in a couple of CD shops.
