Vani Jayaram's songs

[Naaz]

"Of the few things to like about "Ramanujan", Ramesh Vinayakam's music is life affirming. It is in sync with the era in which the film is set, oscillating between classical music and tunes of strings.

A refreshing bhajan by Vani Jayaram in the beginning is one of the best tracks of the album."

"One of the major highlights of the film is Ramesh Vinayakam’s music, totally in sync with the mood of the film. The bhajan rendered by Vani Jayaram “ Narayana..” and picturised on Suhasini a music teacher is a gem."

Nice piece on VJ. Thank you for sharing, raagadevan.

Here's the other new Malayalam song:

[Naaz]

Kaaviya Thalaivan / Vani Jairam / AR Rahman
-------------------------------------------
"Thiruppugazh : Singer - Vaani Jayaram, Lyrics - Saint Arunagirinathar

This little but pivotal song comes off from the Thiruppugazh itself, written by Saint Arunagirinathar. A completely classical bit, sung to perfection by none other than Vaani Jayaram. Rahman keeps the instrumentations minimal along with the timely use of chings, but this is otherwise a song which is dominated by the charming rendition."

"Thiruppugazh Voice: Vani Jayaram Lyrics: Saint Arunagirinathar

One of the most celebrated yesteryear voices has been brought back to Kollywood retaining all the freshness, wrapped in her all-so-sweet voice, for the unparalleled classic - Thiruppugazh. Set to an enchanting tune supported by gentle veena and mridangam, this track in Vani Jayaram's voice is a refreshingly divine revisit to the holy praise. Taking only a 2-minute excerpt from the voluminous Thiruppugazh, this one is a perfect interjection of prayer in a period-set album. Put your hands together."

"Thiruppugazh

Singers: Vaani Jayaram

Lyrics: Arunagirinathar

Vaani Jayaram is back! And how? With a soulful rendition of an excerpt from Thiruppugazh. This number is just a short, prayer song accompanied by mild instrumentations just around two minutes. And yeah, Vaani Jayaram is sounding just like as she did in her golden days!"

Thanks Naaz. But the video won't play in my country. That is what it says when I click on it.

[Naaz]

Neel D -

That's unfortunate. I am sure the track is available on some Malayalam Film Music site?
