Realities Around Us
Geetha (1981) film by Shankar Nag has a popular song album I guess as mentioned in my previous posts many songs from this album has been reused by Illayaraja himself for other languages (mostly Tamil though). Despite him reusing the original tunes he changed the base and we saw the difference in Kelade Nimageega and Devadhai Ilam Devi
Read MoreI 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

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.
Read MoreYarigaagi Ee Aata is from the Kannada movie Bhaari Bharjari Bete, directed by Rajendra Singh Babu, which is a Western Action film. This song is set in Puriya Dhanashree, a Hindustani raga. In one of the interviews, Illayaraja mentioned that the song demanded Cabret-style music, but he didn’t want to be predictable. He gave the song a choppy and modern beat, and it was said to be unconventional in its sensibility.

Director Balki re-used the song in his Hindi film Paa. I’ll add all the different variations of the song. It is such a beautiful song that I love Janaki Amma’s version even though Sangathil Paadadha Kavidhai is the version I first listened to.
