The songs “oh vennila and thendrale” from the movie “kadhal Desam” are based on shankarabharanam. The song “Theeyil vizhunda thena” from the movie “God Father” is also based on the same raga. “kurukku siruthavale” from the movie mudhalvan is a crystal clear presentation of raaga vaasanti. But the interlude is based on hamsadhwani. “En veettu thottathil” from the movie gentle men is based on the ragas Nilambari, kurinji, sankarabaranam and chenchurutti. The song “Oru Naal Oru Polzuthu” from the movie “Andhimandaarai” is based on nattaikurinji and in some places use of khamas is seen predominent. However in the charanam Sahana creeps in. “Kannamoochi yenada” is an excellent composition in nattai kurinji raga. “Enge enadhu kavidhai” from the movie “kandukonden kandukonden” is a classic mix of lathangi, keeravani and sindhu bhairavi. “Anbendra mazhaiyile” from minsara kanavu is one other composition in Anandha bairavi. Especially the prelude of the song “aaya kalaigal arubathu naanginaiyum” brings out the essence. The song mettupodu from the movie duet is based on Anandha bairavi. “Nila kaaigiradhu” from the movie indra is also based on Yamuna kalyani. Yamuna kalyani is beautifully brought out in Sakthi kodu from Baba. Especially the running chords after the pallavi, “DŔśś DŔśś” is set so nice that it brings out the essence of the Raga. The Raga chayal is preserved in the whole song. Raga Durgais effervescently used in the song “En uyir thozhiye” from the movie “Kangalal Kaidhu sei”. Madhyamavathi – The song “Thom karuvil irundom” from the movie star is based on this raga. The National Song “Vande Matharam” is also based on raga Desh. Vasantha – Minsara kanna from the movie padayappaĭarbaari kanada – kaatre en vasal vanthai from the movie Rhythmĭesh – Rahman rocked in his dubut movie Roja and the aalap portion of the song kadhal rojaave is based on the Raga Desh and the song is set in kapi.

Especially the chittai swaram part of the song affirms the Raga. But let me share my views/word of appreciation on few of the songs which I am gifted to listen to.Ībheri – Kannodu kanbathellam from the movie jeans is based on this Raga. And this space is no big to elaborate each of them. Right from his debut in Roja, A.R.Rahman has given numerous songs of classical background. I place a humble request to all the instrumentalists to understand the reality and simplicity of music and ragas and try to bring out a paradigm shift to this trend and preserce the aesthetics,purity and beauty of a great science called classical music. The beauty of music lies in its simplicity and the Raga bhava. This is answered in my earlier statement. People can argue, the actual lyric is not spelled out from an instrument. This not only spoils the meaning of the line but also causes great distress to the listeners. For an instance, the famous song vatapi ganapatim bajeham is being played in the following pattern.

And the fact is that the original song/lyrics is simultaneously rolled in their mind. Instrumentalists should be aware of a great fact that, they are being listened to by other musicians/people who know the original song. Now coming to the exact point, I really do not know why instrumentalists do not care about how they split a “sangati”? meaning where they take a pause in a line and how they split/splice the sangati. They set a wrong example for the future/younger generations. Kadri gopalnath having respected for his talent and knowledge has never always impressed me. Having understood that the public/people have recognized their talent, they go crazy. But they definitely think, they possess the right to commit mistakes. They think they have horns? probably yes. I really do not know what is the problem of great musicians. Doing so would result in severe consequences at the back.Īt this instance, I would also like to vent out a feeling that I had bottled for a long time. Just because it is tempting to eat, we just cannot eat pickle as a meal. I remember the words of my guru, “Brihas should be like pickle in a great meal”. This adds beauty however, it should not cover the whole food and it will not help in improving the taste of the food.

The real taste of the food lies in the recipe and the preparation. People think they are acclaimed as great musicians when they are capable of rendering songs with great “Brihas”. It is then I found that his phrases and sangatis were very fast and there was no Raga bhava in it. He was accompanied by senior artistes on mridangam,violin and ghatam.Īfter listening for 20 mins, I started feeling something was basically missing in his rendition. The boy possessed great talent and knowledge which was evident in his ‘ manodharma‘. I had been to my friend’s Wedding reception yesterday and witnessed a classical flute concert of a twelve year old boy.
