Oru Maalai

This next song is actually long pending and I owe an apology to my nephew Ram who was my inspiration behind this song. He strongly felt that I should make a karaoke of this number from the film Ghajini. That said, he identified the karaoke track and requested me a while a ago, but for some reason I couldn't spend the time until now. So Ram, this is for you.

I am sure all of you are familiar with this AR Murugadoss movie which was originally filmed in Tamil with Surya & Asin in lead roles and later was remade in Hindi with Aamir Khan & Asin. Music for the Tamil version was scored by Harris Jeyraj and infact all of the songs from this movie were hits of which this one was a chart buster. Originally sung by Karthik, one could say songs like these brought him to limelight.

Though the karaoke track itself didn't have clarity, I guess I have made a decent attempt in rendering this song. As always, listen, enjoy & provide your constructive comments.

Raja Raja Chozhan Naan

By now you would have noticed that I don't record many Yesudas songs in my blog. Obviously he is a genius and his renditions and are just awesome; but the suitability and track availability factors drive my song selection for making a karaoke. That said, this next song from the Tamil Film Rettai Val Kuruvi is such an awesome but simple song sung by Yesudas, music composed by Ilaiyaraaja and lyrics by lesser known Metha. This song gives you the feel of sophistication and pure melody that you never get tired of listening to it.

On screen performance for this song was by Mohan, Raadhika and Archana. Wikipedia tells me that this movie was an unauthorized copy of the Hollywood flick Micki and Maude, though never acknowledged by Balu Mahendra this movie's director. Enough said now enjoy this wonderful Illayaraja's melody originally sung by Yesudas.

Hope you like it and please do leave your comments.
