Echoes of the Maestro – Song 10 – Neeyo Njano

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.

Neeyo Njano is a mellifluous melody rendered by P. Jayachandran and S. Janaki. When I listened to this song I was reminded of one more song that Illayaraja sang for his elder son Karthik Raja for Ullasam.

Looks like Karthik Raja took inspiration from this song. The starting pallavi of this immediately reminded me of Yaaro Yaar yaaro from Ullasam (I’ll add that song also so that you can check the inspiration clearly).

Okay, this is one of those Malayalam songs that became a trend across the globe and never in my wildest dreams I thought it was composed by Raaja himself. I mean I understand old Tamil compositions finding their way to the New generation and becoming a hit but this is a surprise for me and I’m glad that it was composed by Raaja.

I was shocked to learn that Devadhai Ilam Devi from Aayiram Nilave Vaa movie was actually from the Kannada song Kelade Nimageega and the use of the songs in these two films is completely different while the Tamil version is more of a Ghost song and the Kannada original is a love song and all these

Aalolam is your 80’s Malayalam family drama which is a commentary on the decaying Village life directed by M. Mohan. Veene Veene is such a poignant song that shows the Mother’s love for her unborn child and possibly a song that would put the child to sleep. As usual, Janaki Amma brings life to this song with her rendition and Illayaraja takes it up a notch in the emotion through his music.
