Realities Around Us
Uthiripookkal was the second Directional of Legendary Director Mahendran. Many of us might have heard Azhagiya Kanne which is pretty popular even now, if you randomly switch to Sun Music or any other Tamil music channels sometime in the day there is a 50% chance you might stumble upon that song.
If an iconic film can inspire many other film Industries in the country back in the late 70’s it is none other than Don (1978) starring Amitabh Bachan. Yugandhar is the official Telugu remake of Don starring legendary N.T.Rama Rao and this is the only film Illayaraja got to collaborate with him.
Idhaya Mazhayil might remind you of one of the famous MGR songs but it twists completely. Even though the rhythm might sound similar they aren’t the same. I wonder how I never heard of this song at all.
Illayaraaja has given us another fantastic song from the same album, Badrakaali. A few weeks ago, I shared a song that was banned from All India Radio; that song was very folksy. However, this one is more of a song where both lovers respond to each other. As usual, Illayaraja’s touch with Malaysia Vasudevan and S. Janaki’s voices adds more fun. Do give it a listen!
Gayathri was based on a Novel by Writer Sujatha and If I’m not wrong this must be from Sujatha’s famous detective series. This was the second time Illayaraj collaborated with Sujatha for this song.
As someone who heard only bits and pieces of this song over the years the real exploration came when this song got featured in one of Vivek’s comedies from Padikaadhavan (2009) movie and even back then I overlooked it.
Chinnakannan azhaikiran is one of those that invokes a calmness in you whenever you listen to it. A couple of days back when I wrote about Kaadhal Oviyam song from Kavikuyil I discovered that Chinnakannan azhaikiran is also from this album and from that time it has been ringing in my head.
Kola Kolaya Mundhirikka seems to have been an anthem back then and it’s a shame most of us hadn’t heard it (or is it just me? I was not even born when this movie came out) and I used to play this game when I was a kid and now it is nowhere to be seen.
Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri is one of the rarest films in Tamil that changed the trajectory of an actor who we now fondly call Superstar. Until this film, Tamil audiences knew Rajnikant only as a villain actor and this film proved them wrong. The same happened to veteran actor Sivakumar who until this film only acted as Goody Two Shoes and this film showed the audience another side of the actor.
Vyaamoham is the Malayalam musical debut of the Maestro and this movie is a remake of a 1962 Tamil Movie Policekaaran Magal directed by legendary C.V.Sridhar.
