“Orey Muththam,” directed by C.A. Mugilan, is his only directorial movie. Unfortunately, this movie was a big box office flop. If you’re lucky, you might find a poor-quality print of this movie on YouTube. I haven’t seen the movie, but the biggest saving grace is Illayaraja’s songs.
Mazhalai Endrum Maaradha is featured in the Sethupathi IPS movie. The entire album itself is a gem, but Saathu Nada Saathu overshadowed all of them. I still remember watching this film in theaters, closing my eyes, and waiting for the boy to meet Sethupathi IPS during that song sequence.
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.
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.
