Udhayaa Udhayaa Ularugirean.. Rahman's Class !

Charukesi, as confessed in one of my previous posts, is one of my favorite ragas.Rahman chose to deliver a mindblowing Charukesi in his imitable style albeit in an inconspicuous movie. Hariharan and Sadhana sargam proved a pair to reckon after SPB/Janaki and in my opinion made the impossible, possible- that is singing this song as Rahman imagined while he created it. Today in music competitions people aim at imitating this song with only a few at least coming to a touching distance to the original. An unbeleivable number!

Hariharan really has proved innumerable times that he has the most nimble vocal chord in film music. Its almost impossible to replicate his rendition in this song and Sadhana would have had to be at her best to match him and she does it with élan. Am amazed at the complexity of the tune and even then how can some sing it so flawlessly.. Am really overwhelmed and proud to be in an era when these folks are ruling music world J

The bestest part is almost un-pick-able here. Be it kaadalllllllllllllllllllllllll…. Or Yennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnai Kalaiththuvittean the vocalists have taken us to a blissful world and I really adore this song beyond words.. However I get lost in the ocean of music while i hear
