True spirit of Indian films, our Ilayaraja to compose the anthem is ideal!
Is there any other music composer in Indian cinema has the privilege of touching so many people's hearts & soul from varied states, cultures, traditional roots, languages and all walks of life with his or her music than our Raja!
AMAZING! Some of us grew up with this man's music and forever influenced by his sangeetham in our day-today lives are fortunate and is a blessing!

isaifan for posting Ravi's bgm analysis.
I will listen to the bgm while reading his thoughts.
Thanks to CSR, KIRU,JAI etc.. postings on WCM jargons, I can understand Ravi's thoughts now.

Hope some of these bgms give me subtle moments too!

கரூரில் பட்டையை கிளப்பிய ராஜராஜனின் போர்வாள் ....எல்லாம் சரி, அந்த சினேகனை தான் என்னால் ஏற்று கொள்ள முடியவில்லை.

rajaramsgi for the Karur composing event for Snehan!


Yeah.. tune sounds familiar but Raja's patdeep/Gowri manohari rag improvisation has some amazing compositions with stunning orchestration! I can't wait to enjoy the finished work!


Have you noted small town Tamil Nadu- Karur janata is respectful of the event, were calmly let Raja interact and deliver the composing!

Ilayaraja has got substance! Sweeping majority in all regional flavors by a single composer! ONE MAN SHOW!
You want koottani, Are you M.S.Viswanathan? otherwise take a hike!

Ilayaraja embraces and always gives enchanting compositions/albums to small fellows/budget movies too! Snehan, now we are adding one more prayer song from Raja.
When Raja composes the devotional song, our janata go pin-drop silence!

அதிகாலை நிலவே அலங்கார சிலையே புது ராகம் நான் பாடவா
இசை தேவன் இசையில் புதுப் பாடல் துவங்கு
எனை ஆளும் கவியே ....

IR yedho pattikaattu composer madhiriyum, oru pattikkaattu composer english pesi, western music laam katthukittu, avaru oru genius - appdiyellaam ARR certificate koduthhirukkaar ! IR is definitely fortunate to receive ARR's divine blessings

pidikkatha marumagal kai pattalum kuttram, kaal pattalum kuttram. ithula avlothan solla mudiyum.......on all these attacks about ARR and one gentleman commented, ARR lacks responsibility, waiting for some reason to launch an attack I suppose, without worrying about whether it is worth or not

Not sure if any one noted this or if already posted, in SUN DTH for the innisai gnani program aired daily night in isaiaruvi, the Program description says "Melody compositions by notable tamil lyricist Ilaiyaraja...... "

How about Bharathiyar praising Valluvar like he had lots of talent and he was a genius .,or Bharathithasan saying Bharathiyar was a genius ,even though he was from small village and learned French and English.

How about in sports if Novak Djokovic says that Federer is a good player and even though he was born in a small country like Switzerland he manage to win gran slams.

Aiya! When you talk about all time greats or legends you don't use that sort language . Everyone portrait Raja sir as arrogant ,even though he never worked MSV sir, have you seen the he speaks about him.
