முக்கியமாக பல்லவியின் ராக அமைப்பு அப்படி

Detroit has this public FM (WRCJ 90.9) that has become my saraNalayam after the V98.7 smooth jazz FM got sold off...this station typically does WCM during daytime (morning drive & evening drive times are WCM virundhoos) but switches to "traditional" jazz in the evenings and run till my late nights.

In the beginning, my tastebuds could at the max take smooth jazz only (Kenny G kinds) and found it too difficult to listen to the real jazz...

I thought, let me try to "relate" this to something & see whether I can appreciate...on one evening, when waiting for the boy in parking lot, with no CD on the dashboard, I switched on 90.9 and had an opportunity to peacefully listen to unadulterated jazz (don't know what composition / which artist etc)...but appadiyE midhakkuRa feeling! Also, my ear buds felt exactly like listening to some ICM kachchEri. There's definitely some connection between these two (i.e. karnAtaka sangeetham and jazz)...

End effect : now I can enjoy 'sAyndhu sAyndhu' in a way I couldn't have appreciated sometime back - say, a year ago

Not readily palatable - like 'ennOdu vA vA enRu' (which seems to be the biggest fav among masses, if one goes by the youtube hits it gets) - but tasty nevertheless...

V_Sji,
Great post on sAyndhu!


I'm glad we'll get another 7 (minimum) such posts

can somebody please answer these question....

1. how many songs will be used in the film....All of them are rocking....it would be difficult to leave out any one
2. I can remember the last tamil film in which IR has scored 7 or 8 hit songs was Kaadhal Oviyam and Anjali.....quite a long time
3. any feedback from the orchestra on the experience on the album recording
4. I dont think GVM has decided all the singers...I can say that he wanted an urban feel to this album....thats all...Karthik, Bela and Sunidhi all already had worked with IR earlier....I dont know about NSK Ramya or Suraj...any thoughts.

1. Anjali^3
2. mottamAdi^2
3. something^2
4. vEgam^2
5. iravu nilavu
6. rAththiri nEraththil
7. vAnam namakku

Is there any other in anjali?

kAdhal Oviyam older than sindhu bhairavi (SB possibly had max number of popular songs, though many of them are short ones)...

Not an answer the ^ post, general thought: The 2nd half of Pudikkala Mamu, though off-putting has some interesting things going. Didn't like the tune at all but pinnaadi ennamo nadandhutte irukku (strumming, outrageous sax parts?...). Weakest link of the album by a distance but adhulayum edhayo vechirukkaan....

The 2nd half is good-nga. It is clearly Raaja-lite (misses the signature-Raaja heavy percussion, burst of arrangements and so on), but in its little duration, it does whip the ass of 'Eththi Eththi' (which I really love!) type songs in their own game. I mean, look at the lovely closure with that guitar! The first half seems indifferently done (I dare say Raaja does just about a Harris Jeyaraj) despite some neat guitar work.

possibilities of NEPV songs in the movie

1) Sainthu Sainthu - yes, it is picturised
2) Vanam mella - yes, it is picturised
3) Katrai konjam - yes, it is picturised
4) Pudikkala mamu - yes, it is picturised
5) Satru munbu - very high chances, climax song
6) Ennodu vaa vaa - yes, it is picturised
7) Pengal Endraal - ??
8) Mudhal murai - ??

IR Movies with 7/8 songs

1) IdhayaKovil - my all time favourite 8 songs (including Idhayam oru kovil 2 versions)
2) Dhalapathi - 7 songs
3) Vaideki Kathirunthaal - 7 songs
4) Rajakumarann - 7 songs
5) Mudhal mariyaathai - 8 songs

I think so many 7 songs movies but picturisation is the big Q. However in terms of total length of all songs, NEPV is very big

'ennOdu vA vA enRu' - thus far the darling of public I think.

I definitely expected it to be.

That's why the mildest beer comparison - the most accessible to any newbie drinker (including many gals per my observation)...However, not just apple juice as there are enough kuRumboos by rAsA that are not easily done by lesser composers. I've started liking the later portion more now (i.e. starting from 2nd interlude).

I guess Gautam too expects this to be a prime mover among general public - "Am lOgOn" that lap up catchy, "gospel-music" kind of easier tunes. ("pArtha mudhal nALil"?)

That's probably the reason he uses that as a catch phrase, features more in the theatrical trailer etc.

நீதானே என் பொன்வசந்தம் - முதல் முறை பார்த்த ஞாபகம்

"இதயத்தில் ஏனோ ஓர் பாரம் -- விழியினில் ஏனோ ஓர் ஈரம் "

இந்த இரு வரிகளிலும் அந்த "ஏனோ" ...ஆஹ்ஹா, கேட்பதற்கே என்ன சுகம்

Exactly. Was going by car to attend the release function with old time hubbers Roza Vasanth and 'eagle' and it was exactly this place where all of us went 'Aaaha'. This particular line is definitely a work of genius. The anger, anguish and also the 'ekkam' and 'thuyaram'. Everything in just that 'edhoo'. Everytime I hear it, goosebumps only.

Suresh ji,
Excellent write-up and narration on Mudhal Murai. Bang on the mood perspective. Nice to Listen now with your write-up to rediscover the unheard territories. Fantastic this one!

Thanks V_S. Lovely post on 'Saindhu Saindhu'. Was planning one for today evening. Now thinking whether I should
