Pari,
Yen appadi solreenga? Inspite of many crazy junk songs of TR like,
"dai dai digiri doi
dai dai digiri doi
kathirikkolu..."
"naan dhaanae little star
aavaen naan super star"
TR has done some good work in films like 'oru thalai raagam'.
Have you heard the songs I have listed like 'idhu kuzhandhai'? I feel they are quite good and worth discussing.
As an MD, I donno if he has contributed significantly, but am sure he has a unique percussion instrument with which you can easily identify his songs.
He definitely has penned good lyrics for quite a few songs. Few I can recollect now are,
- kuzhandhai paadum
- paarkadalil thathalithu ( Raagam thedum pallavi)
- vasantham aadi vara ( Rayil Payana..)
- thanga nilave unnai.. ( Thangaikor geetham)
- pagalendrum iravendrum..( -do- ). But, you need to forget the female chorus like 'jilu jilu' ;-)
- endhan paadalgalil ( Uravai kaatha kili)
Obviously I've omitted the junk songs! And, I'm sure he would have spoiled all the above songs in picturization! I mean, he tries to convey each line visually that sometimes it becomes irritating!! And, he does not seem to write such songs nowadays. Let's wait and see what his next movie has to offer!
Did you guys notice that all his 'good' numbers have been from the first few movies of his career. Obviously, THAT says something about the current state of TR's creativity!
By the way, did you know this??
In one of ARR's earlier interviews, he had mentioned TR to be one of his influences. I was in fact taken aback!
Neels
THATTI PAARTHEN KOTTANGUCHHI !!!
NALLA PAATTO, TAALAMO, BARBER'O GNYABAGAM VARAMA POCHCHI...
THOOKKI VALARTHA EN ANBU THANGACHCHI!!!
JANANGA THOOKI ERINJITTANGA KANNU KOLAMACCHI!!!
(Shanmugam, please don't mind my 'kindal')
inspite of TR music's current state, it has to be acknowledged that his were the only songs that were even heard when IR reigned supreme in TFM and every hit song was from the maestro alone!thats quite something because TR's music doesn't have too much of IR shade!
Neels,
Are you sure on this?
In one of ARR's earlier interviews, he had mentioned TR to be one of his influences. I was in fact taken aback!
ARR is not saying that IR is one of his influences but he says TR is one of his influences. Oh!!! If that is true, then ARR is truly a very great musician. He is able to give quite good music inspite of having TR as his influence. (Just joking).
BTB, Neels, I really enjoyed your "kindal". Please continue posting more like this.
As such, TR has done quite a good job in the early state of his career. As nakkeeran pointed out, they can only be heard and not seen because of the bad picturization.
One thing I like about TR is what neruppu has said. He was not a challenge to IR but still he was also able to give some good songs. In my childhood, I remember "thangaikkoru geetham" songs and "oru thalai ragam" songs being played in all Tea shops. He did a better job than people like SG, CB and others.
Are there any hit songs from TR after he made his son take the lead role in his films?
Have anyone of you heard the songs from his latest film "Monisha en Monalisa"?
It will be another dai..dai..digiridOi
TR gave a classic number with Yesudas in "vaiagaikkarai kaattre nillu". i think for this one alone, he can be forgiven all his sins.
I donno much abt TR as a MD. As a lyricist he has
done a good contribution to TFM (atleast few!!)
1.
Thanneerile meen azhuthal kanneerai than yaar arivar
thanimaiyile nee azhuthal un manathai yaar arivar
2. enathu gaanam un kaathil vizhavillaiya, un nenjai thoda villaiya
Yes! other song i like the most is a great lullaby by TR
3. thol meethu thalatta, en patchakili kann mooda....
nilavai ketta puduchu tharuven maaman
thanga rathame thalelo, thazhamadal thalelo,
muthucharame thalelo, mullaimalare thalelo
good music too!!
Another song with good lyrics
4 kalyaanamthan sorgathule nitchayikka padutham
katcheringa mattum inge nithcayikka padutham
sammatham kekkamale sila sammandham pesaranga,
mangala parkkamale sila maNangala seyyaranga
