It's from 'Karka kasadara'. Sounded like Gambeera Naattai.

i think Theenda Theenda - Thulavado illamai is an excellent track from YSR during 2001.... lately i didint really listen to any songs came in carnatic base songs,untill Anniyan i guess!!

I think Raa Raa is a good choice.

This genre of songs has become almost extinct in TFM. Some recent noteworthy ones I liked:

Aalanguyil from "paarthiban Kanavu" - combined class and appeal.

VeeNa vaaNi - Ponmeghalai(IR) composed by IR.
- the movie was never going to make it, but the songs were a mini-treat to listen to. Unai thedum by Bombay Jayashree was also good.

Ennai enna seidhaai, kaNNan nee endhan - both by Sudha Raghunathan from Ivan composed by IR

The above are authentic semi-classicals, not just weak raga-based songs like the recent Anniyan numbers.

What raaga is "Raa Raa" from Chandramukhi? Is it Ananda Bhairavi?

What about "Margendeya nee varuvaya" from New ? Also Spiderman from same movie has pinch of carnatic in it..

The last best Carnatic based songs are
"siru siru siragugalil" in keeravani and "idhu varai naan oru pazhaiya manidhan" in Chandrakouns , both from the disastrous Konjipesalam. I esp like the former by UnniK . Its charanam is tight and well structured which testifies the hallmark of a classy composition by IR.
