ILAYARAJA SONGS

[karthikks82]

R.D.Burman,S.D.Burman,M.S.Visw­anathan all are really music composers.

But Ilayaraja is a genius .

@ sripatsripat

thanks for correcting me. Kalakaar is by Kalyanji-Anandji

I think 'Chandni raat hai' is from Sallu's Baagi.....'O priya priya' was also a lift....

I personally feel both 'Ilayanila' and 'Neele neele' are good, but as I started hearing tamil version first, I like it the most !..............

I get the movie name and song from youtube to search the mp3 songs. I copy it to my phone and keep listening. oruwebsite has good collection. Do you know anyother site. Praveen?

[sripatsripat]

Hi Praveen, good that I got someone who knows both Tamil and Hindi music well. I am a non tamilian guy but love Tamil music (dont understand the language though). Anand Milind has lifted Chandni Raat hai (movie?), O Priya priya (Dil) which were not remakes. Kalaakar has music by Kalyanji Anandji and to be very frank I find the Hindi version is better than the Tamil one :). Laxmikant Pyarelal have their own creativity and hardly copy IR.

@sripatsripat

Laxmikanth-Pyarelal may have used the tune 'Oh hayya' in Dayavaan as it is a remake of Nayagan with 'Nila athu vanathu mele'.......But in 'Tehzaab' their song 'so gaya ye jahan' sounds a bit like 'keladi kanmani'?

[sripatsripat]

Why only Tamil movie industry? The whole South Cinema if we dont want to add Bollywood. Anand-Milind survived several years by coping Illairaja's music and then disappeared.

@sripatsripat

you are correct. but I guess Anand-Milind did song copies for films that were remakes of Tamil films with Ilayaraja music, eg: Angi natchathiram into Vansh. Laxmikanth-Pyarelal also done similar things for remakes Dayavaan (Nayagan) and Kalakaar (Payanangal mudivathillai). Still Anand-Milind lifted a few tunes like Dhak Dhak for Beta. They have also made songs based on ARR's Kathal roiave (song: Tere liye jaanam, film: Suhaag).

@sripatsripat

............Funny thing is that the above song was sung by SPB and Chitra !!! . In short, there is no music director in India who was able to escape from IR effect (may be ARR is a slight exception), like the choreographers cant do with Michael Jackson's moves !

[manchupuvvu]

@praveenkumarav Even the great Rahman could not escape IR effect. Note the charanams of inji iduppazhagi (devarmagan) and sunta hai mera khuda (pukar). A couple of lines are exactly the same. IR influenced every Indian music composer after him.

[praveenkumarav]

@manchupuvvu what I feel about ARR and IR music is, ARR's music comes from his brain, while IR's from heart. this is a personal opinion, no offence

[manchupuvvu]

@praveenkumarav I agree with you!

[karthikks82]

@praveenkumarav Yes you are right

ILAYARAJA IS THE LAST STOP FOR MELODY MUSIC IN TAMIL MOVIE INDUSTRY
