I think T.Rajender was one composer who never got any critical recognition for his compositions.
Till Maithili Ennai Kadhali he was a pretty good musician and a lyricist. After that he degenerated into a vulgar moron.
His songs & lyrics for films like Oru Thalai Ragam, some songs of Uyir Ullavarai Usha, Rayil Payanangalil, Kilinjalgal were really good.
He must scored music for about 25 films I think and if you consider that he is a pretty good musician.
Some of my favourite songs :
All songs from Oru Thalai Ragam
Vaigai Kaatre Nillu - U U Usha
Endhan Padalgalil Nee Neelambari - Uravai Katha Kili
Azhaginil Vilaindhadhu - Kilinjalgal
Moongilile Paattisaikkum - ?
I would like to add 'pookkaLai parikkaatheergaL' to his list of good movies.
Also 'ponmaanai naan kaana' from mythili(?) is a very good song.
'moongilile paatisaithu'is from raagam thedum pallavi.
Other good nos i can remember are:
paarkadalil thathalithu naan edutha muthu ondrai
siriyavan parithadhu aen-raagam thedum pallavi(wonderful lyrics)
nalamo ene naan ketten yaaro ennai nee kettai-Vani jairam-Nenjil oru raagam
nenjam paadum pudhiya raagam-nenjil or raagam-Sjanaki and SPB(dhool kilappi irupparu)
Kanneril muzhgum odam naane-mythili ennai
kaadhali-SPB and SJ
Enadhu raagam un kaadhil vizhavillaiya-Oru thayin
sabadham-SJ and KJY
sollama thaane indha manasu thudikkudhu-oru thayin
sabadham-SPB and Chitra
thanga nilave unnai urukki thangachikku thangai nagai senjidavo-SPB-En thangai kalyani
thol meedhu thalatta en thangame nee thoongu - ????-SPB and Chitra
Vizhigal medaiyam imaigal thiraigalaam-SJ and kalyan kumar-Kilinjalgal
and many more
Ramki,
sorry to differ. After the seeing the song "sollaama thaane
manasu thudikkuthu"(huge heart like pieces "lup-tap"-ing
everywhere and totally experssionless hero-heroine
"moving" here and there), I don't like that song.
Except for the lyrics(not great, though), everything
else went bad for the song.
I recall one similar experience in one song in
"Thngaikkor geetham". Intha paattula, "vel pondra
vizhigal"-nu oru line varum. In the picturisation,
nalini kannukitte vel onnai konduvanthu
kaamippaar director. Theatre full-aa claps!
Sirippu control pannave mudiyaathu.
But he has churned out few great songs like
Oru ponmaani naan kaana (who can forget the
beautiful alapana at the start of this song?)
Ithu kuzhanthai paadum thaalaattu
Rajaraman inge namme discuss panradhu only abt his
songs and not the picturisation. Many good songs,not necassirily TRajendars, are badly picturised so andha song cinemale parkkum podhu
nalla rkkadhu but nichyama pattai mathram kettu paaru
Well Ramki.. I have to agree with Rajaram. However great the music is, it is hard not to think of the picturization when you listen to it. Esp. if the movie was as traumatic a experience as any TR movie is bound to be. :-).
I think TR's strength was lyrics until Mythili
Ennaik Kaathali (MEK). I like a few good lines of TR in MEK (in the song "kaNNeeril moozhgum Odam")
"kaambai vittu pOO udirndhaal
meendum adhu pooppathillai..
kathaliththu thOlviyendRaal
meendum angE kaathal illai.."
TRs 2nd movie 'Vasantha Azhaippugal' had
a couple of good songs but I'm not able to recall
them. The cast includes Vijayan, Roopa?(Oru
thalai ragam) Ravinder & Usha (later became
mrs TR).
The song in "vasantha azhaippugaL" is
"vasantha kaalangaL isaindha kolangal", sung by
Jayachandran
'vasantha kaalangal isaindhu paadungal'is from
Rayil payanangalil
one song i can remember in vasantha azhaippugal
is 'adi neela sela karukkaiyile maalai velai...
machan inge vaadi pulle'(Malaysia,SJ)
HAve you all forgotten one other great song by TR - "Indira Logattu Sundari Raathiri" - I think it is in U. Usha and is set to Sri Ragam (or Madhyamaavathi)
I hated the song "thatti parthen kottankuchi" because of T.R's voice. T.R did score some wonderful songs but because of his tasteful dress-sense and attire, I hated to see his movies and songs. :-(
His dappamkuthu song "koodayile karuvaadu, koondhale pookadu"... was a super hit.
Do you guys remember another song of his: 'Endhan
paadalgalil nee neelambari unnai kanamale manam
ula vari' (Uravai kattha kili)? Is it based on
'Neelambari'?
TR, I think, could not have made a name as a Music Dir. without SPB. Many of his dappnguththu and related fast songs were rendered with so much of zeal by SPB. Examples
) thannandhani kaattukkuLLe - en tha kalyaaNi
2) mayil vandhu maattikitta - mythili e kaadhali
3) raakkaala vELaiyilE - -do-
4) ammaadiyO aaththaadiyO - thaayin sabatham
5) nenjam paadum - nenjcil oru raagam
6) pourNami nilavilE - uRavaik kaaththa kiLi
Can you imagine anybody else singing these songs? With due respect to KJY, can you imagine him singing 'raakkaala vELaiyilE'?

Hi,
This thread is to discuss contributions of T.Rajendar, as a MD as well as a lyricist, to TFM.
TR has penned some good lyrics and tuned some good songs like,
"idhu kuzhandhai paadum thaalaattu"
"salangai ittal oru maadhu"
"naan oru raasi illa raja"
Shanmugam,
Vena.... vidunga..
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
