Remembering Chandra Bose
Topic started by Arvind (@ webgate0.mot.com) on Mon Jul 13 00:44:07 EDT 1998.
Many of us here would recall an MD named Chandra Bose, who was actively scoring music for Tamil films till recently. Some of his good songs include "Madhuva Medhuva" from Annanagar Mudhal Theru, "Vanathai Pathen" from Manidhan, etc. In fact, he was at the peak of his popularity in 1988, where he even managed to upstage Ilaiyaraja for a while. So, let's have a discussion about him, and discuss his contributions to TFM ...

There was rumours in late 80's about Chandrabose bashing Raja and Raja bashing chandrabose. When Raja came up with 'Raja Rajathi Rajan Endral raja', Chandrabose came up with, 'Villathi Villanaiyum..(Madhurai Kara Thambi).' Finally, raja came up with, 'Enkite Modhadhey Naan Raajathi..' It was like that. Chandrabose really good numbers in that period. Ithaya Deepam (Many songs are really good), Madhurai Kara Thambi, Thai Male Aaanai etc. He also sang in Vai Kozhupu. Perhaps, it might be the reason for his downfall.

Mano,
The stuff about the competition between Raja and Chandra Bose with the Rajadhi Raja issue was mentioned in Kumudham (perhaps jocularly, or maybe mischievously, as usual). But I don't think there was any such thing in reality.
As for the songs that he sung himself, there was a popular one in "Oru Thottil Sabadham" - Poonchittu Kuruvigala, and one more in "Naan Pudicha Maappillai" - Deepavali Deepavali thaan. In fact, both were sung for janakaraj, and were not out-of-place.
One reason for his downfall could be that IR was staging a comeback in 1989, and Chandra Bose was getting rather jaded, with more songs sounding just like Kakki Chattai Potta Machaan.
But all said and done, he did produce some lilting tunes, which were somewhat original too.

Mano,
The song Nee Paarkama Poriya is by Shankar-Ganesh.
Interestingly, there was this film "En Rathathin Rathame" (*ing Bhagyaraj, and produced by K. Balaji). The music for this film was to have been scored by Chandra Bose (K. Balaji was supposed to have strongly recommended him). But during the production of the film, there was a misunderstanding between CB and Bhagyaraj, after which he was replaced by Shankar-Ganesh.
Another piece of news about Chandra Bose is that he and Deva were running a music troupe named "Boses-Deva", and conducting stage shows, etc. Bose got his break first, and moved to films, while Deva continued the stage shows. Eventually, Deva also got his break, and is the MD that we all know him to be today. In fact, for the film "Thirumbi Paar", CB scored the BGM and Deva scored the music.

IMO, Gurbaani was much superior to Viduthalai interms of the music. I hope everyone remember A jesay... (I don't the exact words) compared to Raagam Naane Than was much better. Chandrabose original movies aren't not bad at all. He was the MD for Super star Yarro.. (I don't remember the movie), the song wasn't that bad at all. Remember OOmai Kuyil, it has good songs too.
