Kalyani. My most favorite Raga. Many music directors have given many numbers and Raja can perform a live concert just in Kalyani keeping the audience in trance. Today my SOTD is a song in Kalyani, but composed(or inspired from a similar Hindi number- I don’t give a damn) by Deva. Deva is one of the most under rated and insulted music director in films. Yes. He does re-use songs composed by other music director but still manages to give a good number without robbing off its beauty. I don’t support this neither do I reprimand coz as a listener I am looking for songs that would really touch me. In his peak, I could even say he was a shadow of Ilayaraja. People who refuse to accept this really have not heard some of his best. Anyways, now to the song.
Mudhan Mudhalil Paarthaen Kaadhal Vandhadhae
Enai Marandhu Endhan Nizhal Pogudhae
Ennil Indru Naanae Illai Kaadhal Poala Yaedhum Illai
Ennil Indru Naanae Illai Kaadhal Poala Yaedhum Illai
Engae Endhan Idhayam Anbae Vandhu Saerndhadhaa
(Mudhal Mudhalil Paarthaen Kaadhal Vandhadhae)
Nandhavanam Idho Ingae Dhaan
Naan Endhan Jeevanai Naerinil Paarthaen
Nallavalae Anbae Unnaal Dhaan
Naalaigal Mael Oru Nambikkai Kondaen
Nodikkoru Tharam Unnai Ninaikka Vaithaai
Adikkadi Ennudal Silirkka Vaithaai
Nodikkoru Tharam Unnai Ninaikka Vaithaai
Adikkadi Ennudal Silirkka Vaithaai
Mudhal Paarvai Nenjil Endrum Uyir Vaazhumae
Uyir Vaazhumae
(Mudhal Mudhalil Paarthaen Kaadhal Vandhadhae)
Yaezhu Swaram Ettaai Aagaadho
Naan Konda Kaadhalin Aazhathai Paada
Dhaegam Engum Kangal Thoanraadho
Nee Ennai Paarkaiyil Naanathai Mooda
Irudhayam Muraip Padi Thudikkavillai
Idharku Mun Enakkidhu Nigazhndhadhillai
Irudhayam Muraip Padi Thudikkavillai
Idharku Mun Enakkidhu Nigazhndhadhillai
Naan Kanda Maatram Ellaam Nee Thandhadhu
Nee Thandhadhu
(Mudhal Mudhalil Paarthaen Kaadhal Vandhadhae)
Hariharan is the best possible singer for classical based tunes and Deva did the best thing by roping Hariharan and chithra in.
This song gave face to a seemingly inconspicuous film(albeit one of my favorite movies) Aaha- a light family comedy which is worth the buck for a evening movie...
My bestest pick hmmmmmmm…. L it’s the whole song for the tune!! But still the lyrics makes me mention this
Nodikkoru Tharam Unnai Ninaikka Vaithaai
Adikkadi Ennudal Silirkka Vaithaai
What a way to sing this, dear Hari.. Hats off!
Kalyani Raga will be a recurring one in my posts and this post is really close to my heart. I have felt bad a lot of times for today’s Deva who seems to have really lost the brilliance he once had.. Loss for us !
I really cannot comment on this post as i have minimal knowledge on the topic of discussion.. But I cannot leave without mentioning that mudhal mudhalil parthen is my fav song!! One song which I can sing without making the world quiver :D.. Keep listening... Keep singing and keep writing!!
ReplyDeleteMy fav. song too!!...As you have rightly said Deva sir is one of the most under rated Music Directors in this Tamil Film. Very fortunate or unfortunate is that he came to the field of music during the time of Raja sir's kingdom. In spite of that he was able to leave his marks in the same space, that conveys his brilliance. As you have said this song is one such sample. There are few of his numbers in Kannada movies are awesome and unfortunate he has not used those tunes in Tamil films. Thanks for sharing and lovely info.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely such a beautiful composition.. I wish more such songs still r composed in today's era. I miss those 90s and early 2000s and so true about Hariharan hi nailing(as usual) those two lines 'Nodikkoru dharam.....'
