Vachukava Unna Mattum was not only famous back in the day but it became widely popular after Chinna Bhai Yuvan remixed the song for Silambattam. It is a song that transcends time and is popular even today in both the Simbu andThalaivar versions. This song is set in the Sankarabaranam raga which is said to be mellifluous but also gives a majestic presentation of the songs.
Yet another Disco song from the Rajni – Illayaraja combo, even though the song is set on a Disco floor but it is a folk song out and out. Interestingly, this song starts as a disco, but immediately after the prelude, and briefly, after the 2nd pallavi, the music jumps back to Disco mode and jumps back into folk mode.
Naan Than Toppu is one of those Rajni songs that falls into the Disco song troupe and also a genre called teasing the lead lady. This genre is often part of Tamil Cinema and is used to showcase the macho of the Male lead, even though this song is not as crass as Poomaalai. Sitting in 2024 and can’t fathom because they are the product of their times.
Netrikkan had 3 Legends of this day joining forces and making a movie. K. Balachandar, produced and wrote the Screenplay of this movie, while Visu wrote the Story and was directed by S.P. Muthuraman. Unlike other films back then where the son was often portrayed rouge
Sometime back when I wrote about a song from the Movie Pandiyan, I mentioned that it is one of the GOAT albums from Illayaraja during the 90s, and here’s another favorite song of mine which not only captures the stylish Rajnikanth but also the ever-gorgeous Kushboo.
Kazhugu is one of those travel movies that was really more of a Horror than a thriller for a 10-year-old me, when I watched it back then on KTV or Sun TV, I don’t remember. I was so in awe of the RV-type vehicle with a shower
“Nee Irukkum” is a recent Tamil song composed by Illayaraja, who also penned the lyrics for the movie Jama. I believe this song may have slipped under the radar for many, so I wanted to bring it to everyone’s attention.
Another GOAT album from the Rajnikanth – Illayaraja combo and this film also marks the debut of Karthik Raja with the Pandiyanin Rajjiyathil song which is one of my favorites from the album and is interesting all the songs in this film are sung by Mano and K.S. Chitra amma for the duets. Back then only a couple of films would have such things but nowadays we get to listen to the same voice everywhere, pch!
If Oruvan Oruvan Mudhalali is the go-to Rajni Intro song for the 90’s kids, then Podhuvaga En Manasu Thangam is the GOAT Rajni Intro song for all Thalaivar fans across the age spectrum. This movie cemented Rajnikanth as a Mass action hero and the Superstar he has become and this song spectacularly propagates the exact thing. Initially, the director requested a different tune
Johnny is one of the wholesome albums from Illayaraja and it’s hard for people to not love the songs. One of my all-time favorites is Senorita, I Love You. What’s interesting about this song is that the prelude sets a different mood than the rest of the song. It starts off with high energy
