    Maddy, if you had said that Swades would figure in the top five of *many* fans then there would be no quibble but you said *any* fan he he.

    Otherwise, your PoV is perfectly fine with me. What made me recall vandha naal mudhal is that bit that follows after the first and second interludes. I will stand by it and we (you and Vijayr versus me) will disagree amicably. To see whether we are on the same page, what is your take on the A ah song Aararai kodi pergalil oruvan and the Nenjil oar Aalayam song that goes varuvai ena naan thanimayil nindren vandhadhum vandhai thunaiyudan vandhai? I think the former is an exact rip off.

    Vijayr, first of all, I never said I didn't like the songs, just that they did not sound awesome to my ears. They are good songs still. As to what Shahrukh’s acting has to do with the song, I offer the explanation that I heard the song first when it was shown as a trailer across Hindi channels. This is not unlike songs becoming hits as soon as a movie hits the jackpot. Only in this case the song had a not-so-great impact on me when it was viewed first rather than heard! The main point is about our respective emphasis on the type of songs that an album should contain to be deemed among the top five. Your focus is on classy music even if the numbers may not be as energetic or peppy while many others like me may have a different take on what constitutes the top five. For me, I liked Tehzeeb more than Swades and would rate it higher, while I have heard many who felt Tehzeeb music was a big letdown.

    That Lagaan was hyped before its release is news to me. Because, although Aamir is a top star, AG was a much unknown figure who had then directed a failed film Baazi (?). Anyway, I am willing to take your word that Swades was less hyped than Lagaan before its release.

    speaking of shenai, mayilirage also had shehnai (or was it a digitally engineered sound of a shehnai).

    Two Raaja songs i can think of with Shehnai usage are
    (Thevar Magan) in the prelude - 4:44 onwards
    (Mahanadhi) - 2nd interlude [in the film, only the 2nd interlude is kept] - 1:11 onwards
    </Dig>
    wanted to say "have used as much as ARR" ......

    shenai was used by Raaja extravagantly in his songs and BGM's. Infact he Re invented Shenai which was then used by Composers only for pathos/Sad situations and made it played for happy/fun situations

    Rajasaranam,

    Shri.MSV has done it all.

    It is not true Shri.Raaja has reinvented Shenai for other moods.

    Please lend your ears to ennai yaar endru.... duet, what an emotive shenai passage!
    Please check out the album Paalum pazhamum, Karnan, thanga radham vandhadhu... & more of Shri.MSV! Trust me, HE HAS DONE IT ALL!!

    Aahaa!! Check out Aval oru thodarkadhai!

    Kanniley enna undu.... What a composition! what an album!

    Mood preserving orchestration, emotive vocals in a sustained melodies enriched with Indian classical Ragas, pleasing lyrics, apt usage of instruments!! WOW!! SHOWS COMPOSER's CLASS!!

    what you guys have to understand is that, it wasnt unusual to use shehnai back then (during MSV or even IR times). but arr is the first one to re-visit this fine instrument in this modern age (i believe it was 2004 when swades released) and he really used shehnai in such a way that it calls you back home in that song. never have i known that an instrument can speak, literally.
