Hi guys. I would like a list of all IR's songs with 3 interludes and 3 charanams. A song like 'Ennodu Paattu Paadungal' won't qualify; although the song has 3 interludes, it has only 2 charanams. Here, let me get you guys started.

1. Sugam Sugame (Naan Potta Savaal)

2. Aaradi Suvaruthaan (Idhu Namma Boomi)

3. Sembaruthi Pennoruthi (Raman Abdullah)

4. Ilamai Idho Idho (Sakalakala Vallavan)

5. Neramithu Neramithu (Rishimoolam)

6. Rasigane En Arugil Vaa (Manipoor Maamiyaar)

7. Manipoor Maamiyaar (Manipoor Maamiyaar)

8. Kaamakshi Meenaakshi (Muthal Iravu)

9. Aasai Vachen (Muthal Iravu)

10. Ithayam Oru Koyil (Ithaya Koyil)

11. veettukkoru Maganai (Ponnu Oorukku Puthusu)

12. Orampo Orampo (Ponnu Oorukku Puthusu)

13. Unakkennathaane (Ponnu Oorukku Puthusu)

14. Saama Kozhi (Ponnu Oorukku Puthusu)

17. Siriya Paravai (Antha Oru Nimidham)

18. Adi Aadu Poonkodiye (Kaali)

19. Vaan Megangale (Puthiya Vaarpugal)

20. Azhage Azhagu Devadhai (Raaja Paarvai)

21. Aimpathilum Aasai Varum (Rishimoolam)

22. Oru Thanga Rathathil (Dharmayutham)

23. Koyil Maniyosai (Kizhakke Pogum Rail)

24. Sridevi En Vaazhvil (Ilamai Kolam)

I think Kanden engum Poomagal from Kaatrinile Geetham is one such song with the second charanam being different from the other two.
From: Sriram Lakshman (@ 195.188.191.86) on: Fri Jul 25 10:56:07 EDT 2003

Another one is 'kuyilE kavikkuyilE' from 'kavikkuyil' with 3 stanzas with the 2nd stanza set to a different tune.
From: Dorai (@ 165.89.84.86) on: Fri Jul 25 11:40:13 EDT 2003

Kovil Mani Osai -- Kizhake Pogum Rail has 3 charanams

Its a ever lasting beauty from IR. All three charanams have interludes that are way different, but still stays within the mood and melody of the song. Last but not the least, the Prelude, with the kollusu santham,followed by hauting violins, its the best ever from IR.

I suppose this song is set to Sudha Saveri raga and one of my all time favourites from IR.

:-) Good list guys, keep 'em coming! It seems that at least 3 quarters of such songs came in IR's early days. :-)

42. Oru Naal unnodu Oru naal from Uravaadum Nenjam

43. Engum Niraindha from Idhu eppadi irukku, with the first charanam by KJY being a short one and almost sounding like the extension of the pallavi

(Purv , along with this list you can also collect another one if you have the time, for songs with different charanams(2 or 3).)
From: vijay (@ 68.51.215.28) on: Sat Jul 26 00:15:04 EDT 2003

Another one -Palli araikkul from Bala Nagamma by UR. The interludes have been mildly inspired by those of "odum megangale" from Aayirathil oruvan.
From: ganspb (@ 216.190.151.114) on: Sat Jul 26 03:05:15 EDT 2003

Here is my list

kurunji malaril Azhage unnai aradhikiren

hey paadal onru Priya
sugamo aiyiram Agal vilaku
perai chollava guru
Akarai cheemai priya

ore idam sattam en kayil

This is one thing I was thinking.The initial 5 years he had composed lot of songs with three stanzas.After that most of the songs were confined to 2.We lost those wonderful pieces
of the third interlude.
From: ganspb (@ 216.190.151.114) on: Sat Jul 26 03:08:32 EDT 2003

Sorry a better edited version.

Here is my list

during debates between MSV fans and IR fans in my friends circle one of the aspect is Interlude music. IR fans argue that an Interlude music is never repeated in the same song (in a 3 charanam IR song) which was not the case with some popular pre-IR songs with 3 charanams.

its interesting to listen to the song 'iLamaikaalam inge' from thaaikku oru thalaattu. an interlude is repeated probably to give the effect of the olden days of Sivaji-Padmini.

Oh! I listenend to the song at dhool.com. Whoever runs the site probably omitted that third interlude.

Hey guys,

i wanna listen to IR songs of 80's, such as 'Janani Janani', 'Devi senthoorakolam' & 'yerikkarai poongatre', 90's songs 'naan yerikkarai melirunthu'. Any websites u all can suggest?

You can add to the list 'Kali Perungaya Dabba' in Manthira Punnagai. That has 3 charanams
From: Kupps (@ 203.199.209.101) on: Thu Oct 16 01:22:32 EDT 2003

if im not wrong the song kaNNan oru kai kuzhandhai from bhadrakaaLi has 3 stanzas
From: Mythila (@ ) on: Tue Nov 11 02:21:46 EST 2003

"Ninaithaal inikkum
nalla neram sernthu varum" - a lilting song from Kalyanaraman, sung by SJanaki. All the 3 interludes are great. This song seems to be in Abheri. Another notable feature is the amazing flute-violins-guitar usage.
From: purv (@ ) on: Fri Feb 27 13:33:45 EST 2004

I was wrong. 'Paadha Kolusu' from TP does have three charanams. The 'Paadha Kolusu' I found at dhool.com is NOT from the film Thirumathi Pazhanisaami.

The song 'Nenjil Ulla Paatham' from Rishimoolam (terrific composition!) also has 3 interludes.
From: eden (@ 136.1.1.33) on: Fri Feb 27 17:10:34 EST 2004

I'm not sure whether 'vizhiyilE malarndhadhu, uyirilE kalandhadhu' technically qualify...the first `saranam-anu pallavi-non interlude-SPB izhaiyum portion' is nostalgic, though! And the grand violin concerto interlude for the last stanza is a treat with an IR trade mark...
From: sundar (@ 61.11.75.120) on: Sat Feb 28 03:47:34 EST 2004

'Sentazham poovil' from MuLLum malarum 'is a 3 charanam song with 3 different interludes. the flute BGM is outstanding
From: rajasaranam (@ 210.214.3.28) on: Sat Feb 28 04:01:47 EST 2004

and listen to the magudi usage in the first interlude,jus before the lyrics 'valainthu nelinthu pogum paathai, mangai mogha koonthalo' - may be IR's visualization related 'valainthu nelithu pogum' with a snake's movement.
From: purv (@ ) on: Thu Oct 7 22:07:24 EDT 2004

Did I yet make mention of:

Thenna Marathile in Laxmi

Kodi Inbam Meni Engum in Nenjil Aadum Poo Ondru

These songs are both of the three charanam genre.
From: mythila (@ 193.88.72.130) on: Fri Oct 8 03:51:17 EDT 2004

purv, include "maalai chevaanam un kolam thaano" from the unreleased film "Illayarajavin rasigai". All the 3 intluedes are superb with awesome choral voices.

From: kumarr (@ 213.42.2.25) on: Thu Oct 14 15:41:53 EDT 2004
