A monumental wish of digitally re-recording his popular creations (both songs and BGM so that all of us can appreciate the true depth in his compositions).Starting to write blogs about his music was one. I have an Ilayaraja specific bucket list. Without any further due, here are those 7 minutes of happiniess to you Everyone who had turned up that day would have left so happy!!! I wish I experienced it live And what a finish – I am guessing this was the last song of the concert.But just look at the numbe of 20 something people who thoroughly enjoyed this song. The song was recorded 33 years ago!!! It’s no wonder all the middle aged people were so happy to listen to this song.
The drummer plays with a superb perfection that audience ask for once more (where Ilayaraja makes fun of Mano :)) and the drummer again performs to perfection!!.There are multiple places in this song where the drums catch a specific nerve amongst the audience that you instantly start dancing.Right from the beginning, everyone who is singing is absolutely happy to sing this song.There was just so many happening in this performance: It is very likely that you will play this multiple times and spend more than 7 minutes. Spend next 7 minutes of your life listening to the following. Mano perfectly imitates S.P.B’s laugh and Ilayaraja was completely surprised (his reaction and the laugh that follows is simply awesome) Just listen to this portion of “Pani Vizhum Malar Vanam”. Not just this performance, any peformance where Mano had sung a S.P.B song would attract comments like “Not even 10% of S.P.B”.īut that didn’t stop Mano from giving his best. Of course, every single person who listened to the songs live that day and on YouTube would compare the performance with S.P.B. But unfortunately Ilayaraja and SPB hadn’t made truce yet (I am glad they ironed their differences in 2019) and Mano was singing all S.P.B songs. Beyond the awesome performance, there were quite a few important life lessons that I learnt. I have now seen the videos in this playlist many number of times. The quality of the show is simply awesome and the post production quality to bring it to youtube is even more awesome for people like me who missed watching this live. This was a concert conducted by Ilayaraja in Singapore in 2018. Ilayaraja brings out a brilliant composition with just a flute, a bass guitar and a beat. She even has a “ Marudhani” in her feet 🙂 She is enjoying the night anticipating her meetig with Pandiyan the next day at the riverside. Her love for Pandiyan is expressed through simple shots. Part 1 – The feeling of loveĪfter Seetha’s parents agree to talk to Pandiyan’s parents, Seetha fondly recollects the encounters with Pandiyan. The best part is, both the compositions are used in a contrasting way to convey exactly opposite emotions. Ilayaraja uses just two compositions for these 4 parts. And these 4 parts have distinct emotions to it. Its a great screenplay and Ilayaraja elevates it to a different level altogether. The next 5 minutes or so is an absolute masterpiece to watch. Overnight Seetha’s parents talk that they also like Pandiyan and Seetha’s father will meet Pandiyan’s father next day to proceed with the wedding. If you don’t come to meet me, I will not bother you anymore” Pandiyan gives an ultimatum – “I will wait at the riverside tomorrow morning.
Despite Pandiyan’s attempt to meet Seetha and convince her, Seetha says she will marry only the person her parents choose. However, the broker says Pandiyan is not the “ Mapillai” he had recommended to Seetha’s father and there is a mix up.
Pandiyan and Seetha like each other as part of the “ Pon Paakum episode“.
ILAYARAJA CASTE MOVIE
Here’s the specific score that has stayed with me ever since I heard it for the first time when I was around 15/16 years (when I saw the movie for the first time). While this movie is appreciated for all the entertainment it provides, Ilayaraja provided a great background score for this movie (and of course the famous Kaadhal Kasukkudhayya song). Yes, the background score of Ilayaraja for this movie. This is the debut for Pandiarajan as an actor and I didn’t realize for a very long time that he was the director too (his second film after Kanni Rasi).Īpart from the many comic scenes (brilliant Janakaraj, VK Ramaswamy and Kollangudi Karuppayee ) for which I keep going back to this movie, there is yet another main reason. It’s one of the greatest entertaining film with a very simple narrative. Aan Paavam is one of my all time favorite movies.
