We all have our faviourite MDs and mejority of us are either MSV's fan, or IR's or ARR's fan. We dont have good openion about a lot of other MDs who also sometimes managed to produce a few great gems.

TFM had/have a few third rated music directors (of course, openions differ!) who have surprised us with a few great songs. For example, TR produced great songs like 1. moongililae paattisaithu, 2. idhu kuzhandhai paadum thalaattu (what a song!) etc..

Similary shankar-ganesh, shyam, veda, vijayabaskar, V.Kumar, T.R.Paappa, Sirpy etc etc..
MDs like ramesh vinayagam, manisharma, deena will all soon fall under this category (maybe they are already in that category)

Shall we list their best?

Damn! I still can't come up with one great songs from SA Rajkumar.

Let's not list 'good' song, bcos there could be many. Only 'great', something of IR, MSV and ARR's calibre.

Pl don't ask me to define 'great'. I guess you know what I mean!

x,

Edho Oru Paatu by SAR is a good candidate to end your search.. In fact, oru interviewle "Neenga ippodhaikku munumunukkum paatu edhunnu keattavudane Rahman sonna paatu "Edho oru paatu".. In fact he went on to say that SAR has arranged and composed the song very nicely.

Nice topic:-)

I think "Azhagey Unn Nyabagam" by Sirpi for the movie Pavazhakodi needs to be mentioned here. Movie was a junk and other songs were okay. This song is very haunting and stands out. I am not sure if this one is copied or not. If it is not, then my hats off to Sirpi.

I think mani sharma is not used properly in tamil. They have repeatedly asked him to take his telugu hits than do new ones - probably cost saving. He definitely does not fall in this category, he is one MD I am watching for, to be in his own niche.

[Oldposts]

speaking of SAR, wat was his first film? ... i forgot the name ... i believe that had some good songs ... 'Senthoora Poove neeyum thaen kondu va va' ... i guess this song is from that film .. damn my memory lapse, i almost have it, but it is just not striking me!

Chandrabose...well, his Poonjittu Kuruvigala is the only thing i can remember!

[Oldposts]

SAR's good songs include:

(1) sangeetha vaanil sandhosham paadum
(2) chinna poove mella pEsu
(3) oh ponmaanguyil singaaramaai paNpaaduthe
(4) aayiram thirunaaL bhoomiyil varalaam

[Oldposts]

Senthoora Poove Neeyum Thean song is from Senthoora Poove movie. Music composed by Manoj-Gyan. They have composed music for almost all the Aabavaanan movies. His songs/movies include
1.Tholvi Nilaiyena - Oomai Vizhikal
2.Nilaimaarum Ulagil - Oomai Vizhikal
3.Maamarathu Pooveduthu - Oomai Vizhikal
4.Semmari Aade - Uzhavar Magan
5.Senthoora Poove - Senthoora Poove
6.Andhi Nera Thendral - Inaindha Kaigal

S.A.Rajkumar's firt movie is Chinna Poove Mella Pesu. IMO his music was O.K in the following movies.
1.Chinna Poove Mella Pesu
2.Manasukkul Mathappu- Poonthendrale Nee Paadi Vaa, PonmaanKuyil
3.Puthu Vasantham
4.Poove Unakkaga
5.Unnitathil Ennai Koduthen
6.Nee Varuvai Ena
7.Priyamanavale
8.Suriyavamsam
9.Thullatha Manamum Thullum

"kadhal Rojave" from Roja !!

[Oldposts]

Bhagyaraj's "Yaarum illathe teevondru vendum, vendum"

[Oldposts]

Shankar Ganesh surprised me with their occasional melodies such as

1) Yaaradhu Sollaamal nenjalli povadhu - Nenjamellaam neeyey by Vani Jayaram

2) Megamey megamey paal nila theyudhey - Palaivanacholai - Vani Jayaram

[Oldposts]

Shankar Ganesh's Neeya movie songs especially "Ore Jeevan Ondre Ullam.."
T.Rajender's contious hits like "Oruthalai Raagam", Rayil Payanangalil, Uyrullavarai Usha, Mythili ennai Kaathali (Oru Ponmaanai Naan Kaana, Naanum intha uravai). Some of these songs were super-duper hits during those years.

Hoi xyz@148.87.1.170 :

1)Thenpandi seemayile - IR

2)Hey Alagiya theeye - HJ

3)Kannil Gandhame - YSR

[Oldposts]

thanks jeeves .... i was terribly confused! :-)

Veda..isnt he the one who composed for Athe Kangal? ... dats supposed to have good songs rite??

[Oldposts]

hey don't knock sar too much. there was thullatha manamum thullum!

and deva really really surprised me with all the songs from aasai.

[Oldposts]

Guys, when I say great songs, I wouldn't consider songs that are copied and inspired (e.g deva'svaali songs, SG's neeya songs and megame megame are remade from original hindi tunes).

Secondly, I dont consider deva, bharadwaj, vidhyasagar, HJ, KR, YSR are third rated MDs. They are neither third rated nor top class. So we don't have to list their songs.

[Oldposts]

SAR has made good music in priyamana thozhi....

[Oldposts]

some songs in dhool are good

[Oldposts]

Devendiran's music in Vedham Puthithu.I think the songs are class in that movie.Amsalekha's KodiParakuthu,Captain Magal are the best pieces.Even natukku oru nallavan had some good songs from him.S.P.Venkatesh from kerala produced an international standard music in the movie Airport(Starring SatyaRaj and Directed by Shaji Kailash).Even that movie doen't have songs you could probably listen to the world class BGM from the movie.Ranith Parod's VIP is another great piece to be mentioned.
Late Mahesh's Kuruthipunaal,Nammavar are classy ones.Again Kuruthi with no songs is worth to mention here for its rerecording.Adithyan, have given Amaran and SevelapariPandi which were unique albums stands out.I don't want to list Balabarathy as a third rated music director,anyway his Thalaivasal and Amaravathi are far better than any other copy cat MD's hyped ones.He is underrated.

C~P

'Senthoora Poove neeyum thaen kondu va va' ...is by Manoj Gyan and not by SAR. Manoj Gyan has offered some good music in Abaavaanan movies like "Oomai Vizhigal", Inaintha Kaigal. I still wonder why he did not proceed further.

[Oldposts]

SAR's "Irubadhu kodi nilavugal koodi" in Thullatha manamum thullum is an all time great song IMO. It has been (somewhat) inspired by IR's all time great Payanangal mudivadhillai song "thogai iLa mayil aadi varugudhu".

Sankar Ganesh have composed too many nice tunes for them to classified as third rate.

Even Ramana Gokula has comes with a couple of nice ones in Badri.

sriram
The tewo songs u have mentioned are ghazal song ..copied dito !!!!

[Oldposts]

i need the songs from the movie senthoora poove..i have just found 3 songs......if you dont have it...atleast can you tell me what songs do this movie have?????????????????????????

[Oldposts]

"Vennilave Vennilave" from Minsara Kanavu and "Kadhal Rojave" from Roja.

[Oldposts]

Third -rate ?Probably les sknown compoosers is teh right word ..

My vote is for shiva ,the composer for love today

[Oldposts]

Yes, shiva is good. "Yen pen endru piranthai" is too good melody. "Enna azaghu ethanai azhagu" is a hit number already.

Balabharathy's songs "Taj mahal thevaillai", "Nee pesum poova povanam" are some of good melodies.

TR's classical number "Oru ponmanai naan pada" is a great number.

I like SAR's all the songs from "Pudhu vasantham".

[Oldposts]

I don't think SG, Vijayabhaskar, TRR are 3rd rated MD's, they have given great hits :)

[Oldposts]

its hard to define 3rd based mds


but here are my choices

sirpy
adhityan
siva

SA rajkumar might not be a big name now but he is definately not 3rd based md

[Oldposts]

Guys,

Add Balabarathi's Amaravathy.
SPB song was amazing.

And VS Narasimhan ( IR's Vilonist)

[Oldposts]

KAARTHIK RAJA veesum katrukkule from ULLASAM

YSR s many songs

BHARADWAJ background scores ....many times it reached IR standard and creative limits....

SIRPYs sarath kumar and kushbu song where she will be chewing tobacco and spitting............That songs is of IR standard..........

RAMESH VINAAYAGAM .....UNIVERSTIY "nenjil thullipo"

DHINA Manmadha raasa

[Oldposts]

I dont think Ramesh Vinayagam falls into the 3rd rate music directors... He is quite ahead of the pack(deva's. SAR's, sirpi's). Univerisity, Naladhamayandhi,Aee nee romba azhaga irukkae and Azhagiya Theeye had very good original numbers. He is good at both fast and melodious numbers and quite innovative. With the limitied opportunity he got, he has proved that he is pretty innovative yet simple with his creations. The same case goes with manisharma tooo..(try listening to his first movie for chiranjeevi, forgot the movie name starring soundarya,Prakash raj and Anjala Zaveri). He is underrated and hardly any good opportunity to prove.

[Oldposts]

Deva scored quite well in 'En Aasai machaan' and 'Gokulathil Seethai'. The melody was fabulous.

Bobby (who scored for 'Sollamalae' was very 'original' and pleasing too. Wonder why he never got chances though the movie and songs were hit.

Bharani is another good MD with nice songs like 'Thirudiya idhaiyathai...'

[Oldposts]

Kiran,

If you think that YSR falls into the 3rd rate MD's catergory, then you should also put ARR, VS, HJ and IR there.

Switch your hearing aid on.

The topic should be reworded as "Lesser known MDs". Please note that some of the MDs discussed here like T.R. Pappa, Veda, Vijaybhaskar etc., have turned in great hits.
