Album of the week

[SoftSword]

gave one round listen to the songs of vandicholai chinraasu...
though there are some good tunes, i assume the album would hav been a disaster...
most of the places the orchestra and packaging looks like amateurish..
anybody who remember how this album was received when released? some experiences on that... and anybody like to hav some discussion on the songs?

senthamizh naatu thamizhachiye was a run away hit at the time of the release
chithirai nilavu was not a hit during the release but became a very popular song afterwards courtesy Sun Music and other music channels
ithu sugam sugam song - reserved for midnight masala songs i suppose
eh kaatu pana maram pola - during the time of the release adikkadi pottanga but vanished afterwards
parotta parotta - prior to the movie release and after cassette release enakku romba pidicha paatu () but the picturisation was a huge sothappal

mothathula oru mega disaster movie ku rahman music pottirukave venaam...... but eppadiyo maatikittar ninaikaren....... this released in 1994 correct? Duet ku appuram cassette release aana padam........ Vandicholai sinraasu as a movie was not even worth a 1 show run, songs though not in the league of other rahman movies at that time had 1 or two chart busters, as usual album sales was good.......... and if i remember correctly, Anandavikatan while reviewing the movie pointed out rahman's music as the only solace for the entire movie

this parotta parotta starting pallavi is a folky tune?
this is the same tune as 'aalillaadha kaattukkulla vandhu... vambu pannum sinnappayya' from PV

[rsubras]

yes, tune is folky tune ...... ARR style dappankuthu..........though in the picturisation it ended up as something like 3rd grade song.....

and no idea about your 2nd line

VC - Saw FDFS, not because I wanted to. Was in Karur at my uncle's house and a multiplex (two theaters) was right next to where he lived. Went only because of ARR, I had not listened to the songs prior to watching it. Movie was

If I am not wrong, Senthamizh Nattu thamizhachiyE was the only hit song from this film. Adhu ennavO theriyalai, appayum sari ippayum sari I don't like that song. But a huge fan of edhu sugam sugam adhu. Brilliant arrangements and SPB of course. Would have preferred SJ eventhough VJ had done exceedingly well. The only VJ song for ARR apparently. Haven't listened to Siththirai Nilavu in ages but think that song is quintessential early 90s Rahman.

My dizzy hardcore ARR fan brother used my weakness for Sathyaraj and dragged me to the film. Imagine our horror the way the songs were picturised and the cut and paste background score. The horror!!! Barotta song in youtube? A surefire hit among aNNan fan for sure.

Siththirai Nilavu is a fantastic song... PJ + Minmini Interludes are too good..
