Ravindran is a great musician

He has produced some really great music, especially in Malayalam. But I was wondering about some of his tamil ventures. I know he has some movies in tamil. I heard one and it was pretty good. The movie's name, I think, was called "Thaye Nee Thunai" or something like that. Anyone heard the music to this movie?

  Okay jibi. BTW, I didn't know that Ravindran's the guy behind 'Greetings.' Good of you to let me know! I'll try it out soon!!

  Geez, 'Greetings' is so substandard (maybe a tad better than 'Chakram', but still lame)!! :-(( What is happening to Ravs, who gave some brilliant songs even last year (who could forget 'Venakkal Kothaara Vaazhi' which practically redefined melodious music?)??

  i don't expect any mds to justify a substandard movie with brillant songs.. even he does it its gonna get unnoticed .. i mean my advice to these dirs tht they should encourage new mds to movies like this ..look at wht alpohnse did in jalolasvam ..pretty awsome work
  
  purv my recommentation to u is to listen to upcoming tracks vadakkum nathan,rasikan, made in usa and pouran ..these might pretty good works ..

  ...??? How do you figure 'Greetings' is a substandard film? Did the film release yet?
  
  It was probably Ouseppachan who scored music for 'Ulladakkam'; the songs sounded unbecoming for Ravindran.

  Ulladakkam had a gr8 sound track. the song anthiveyil had superb lyrics and beautiful orchestration.
  the BGM was mind boggling. Ouseppachan did the trick here.

  Got a chance hear some of Ravs' rare or semi-rare works, and here are some of my findings:
  
  First of all, I would like to discard my opinion that 'Vishnulokam' is an overall substandard album. If nothing else, the song 'Aadhyavasanthame' is really worth a listen, probably much more. Especially watch out for the Sudhadhanyasi phrases at the end of the charanams. That's good stuff.
  
  I also heard 'Raamaayana Kaatte' from Abhimanyu, which conspicuously isn't available at MusicIndiaOnline, so I had to go out of my way to hear this song. It's a super dappanguthu number, based on Natabhairavi.
  
  'Iru Hridhayangalil' from Oru May Maasa Pulariyil: a gem in Jog raagam, one of Ravindran's specialties. Watch out for the choir in the second interlude. Is this a wedding song, about 'two hearts'?
  
  'Aakaasha Neelima' from Kaiyum Thalaiyum Poruthu Eduthe: I thought that Mohanam was a way overused raagam; even Deva, SA Rajkumar, and the likes use this raagam! However, I've also known Ravs to give some super-melodious Mohanams (e.g., Vaanampaadi Yetho, Mauliyil Mayilpeeli, Yetho Nithrathan, etc.). Well, I heard this song, and there are simply no words to describe it! This song will just totally cleanse your being. I love, love, love the harp pieces and the charanams.
  
  'Malarum Kiliyum Oru Kudambam' from Aattakalasam: Well, here's a Western tune from Ravs.
  
  
  Regards,
  purv

  Agree with you! it's an outstanding song!
  
  Isn't Adyavasanthamey set to Desh?

  hrudaya geethamai from ammakilikoodu - a wonderful composition by Raveendran beautifully rendered by PS
  
  
• From: purv (@ 137.140.142.87) on: Sun Nov 7 20:59:33 EST 2004
  
  Yes, 'Aadhyavasanthame' is set to Desh, but at the end of the charanams, somehow the raaga flavor sounds very much like Sudhadhanyaasi.

  Yes, Ravindran is indeed a great music director - many excellent movie compositions in Malayalam with other albums such as "Vasantha Geethangal".
  
  In tamil, the only movie I remember is "Rasigan oru Rasigai" which has several awesome songs like
  "Ezhisai Geethame", "Paadi Azhaithen" and "Kaatrinile Varum Geetham" - I think he had used several songs from several of his older Malayalam movies - Ezhisai Geethame was a reproduction of "Ezhu Swarangalul" from Chiriyo Chiri...
