Song of the Day - Potu Vaitha

Another Ilayaraaja great  from the movie Idhayam.Personally I did not like the movie as much(movie was a superhit!) but the songs were top notch.This song was also sung by K J Y (IR-KJY combination was so great that would be a common feature in this series)

Song Highlights :

• The Simplistic arrangements.
• The first flute interlude.
• The violin interlude is really good with the symphonic arrangement giving ample support.

Song of the Day - Poomalai Vaangi Vanthan

Today's Song of the Day is from the movie Sindhu Bhairavi.It is a amazing movie by K Balachander .It also won multiple national award for

Best Actress - Suhasini

Best Music Direction - Ilayaraaja

Best Female Playback Singer - K S Chitra

The movie's music had a predominant carnatic touch.Most of this movie's songs were brilliant but today' song of the day is :Poomalai Vaangi Vanthan

Song Highlights :

• The soul of this song is K J Jesudas(according to me the greatest singer ever in India,forgive my ignorance if any) - His rendition is just too good.
• The interludes ,both the violin and the flute is mesmerizing.
• I love the first line too much - Poomalai Vaangi Vantha  , Pookal Ellaya (He bought Flower Garland ,But No Flowers)
• Ilaiyaraaja - Period

Song of the Day - Rayile

Hi All,

Today's song of the day is from the movie Five Star,directed by Susi Ganesan and produced by Mani Ratnam(anything even concerning his name would warrant a look in!!).The song in question being Rayile.I heard this today in the iPod almost maybe after 2-3 years and it was still so damn fresh(it got a five star immediately,no pun) .

Song Highlights

• The song has a beautiful intro with the humming and strings.
• Unnikrishan just rocks.
• A beautiful medley of both slow and fast tempos - just like a train(aka rayile)
• Wonderful interludes.
• Song picturing top notch - especially the train pulling scene

Wonder why the music duo(Parasuram Radha)did not continue composing.

Watch the video of this glorious song.
