Fantabulous song! I think it's from Oru Odai Nathiyaagirathu.

Few more Reetigowlai AFAIK
Kavikkuyil (1977) - Chinna Kannan Azhaikiran - Balamurali Krishna ( & SJ verion) (this is the first Reetigowlai by Raja)
Sippikkul Muthu (1985) - Raman Kathai - SPB
Poonthottam (1998) - Meetaatha Oru Veenai - Hariharan

Are there any more Reetigowlai from Raja, please share, I love this raagam and the way Raja used it is phenomenal.

I dont't think so

I feel your hunger therefore I did a search and I came across parthalae theriyadho naeku, adiyae sarasu from the movie Sri Raghavendra (1985) (*ing Rajni) and chittu pOlE mottu pOlE piLLai vara pOraan kattil mElE from Iniya Uravu Poothadhu. Both songs are superb listens and they're set to Ananda Bharavi which I think is a sibling raag to Reeti gowlai.

This website claims that Raaja sir has only composed two songs in Ananda bharavi.

I should say thanks to you for expanding my Raaja library of songs

. I've never heard a song (Workout/Dance class) like this in any kind of Indian film.

But I'm sure this is only a minuscule example of his versatility.

Thanks a lot Sunil. Yes, Ananda Bhairavi is very close to Reetigowlai, but both of songs you posted are again great ones.

தூறல் நின்னு போச்சு - ஏரிக்கரை பூங்காற்றே நீ போற வழி தென்கிழக்கோ
இந்த பாடலை எழுதியவர் என்னுடைய பள்ளி தமிழ் ஆசிரியர் புலவர் சிதம்பரனார் அவர்கள்.
இதை சொல்வதில் மிகவும் பெருமை, அதுவும் இசைஞானியின் இசைக்கு எழுதினார் என்பதில் ரெட்டிப்பு பெருமை.
இந்த படம் வெளியான காலத்தில் எங்கள் பள்ளியில் அவருக்கு ஏக பாராட்டுக்கள். அவருடைய முகத்தில் இருந்த வெட்கமும் சந்தோஷமும் இன்னும் என் கண் முன்னே நிற்கின்றது. அருமையான மனிதர்.
என்ன மதுரமான பாடல், இன்று நினைவுக்கு வந்தது, உங்களிடம் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள ஆசை.

ராஜா-ராஜாதி ராஜனிந்த ராஜா
கூஜா -தூக்காதே வேறு எங்கும் கூஜா
நேற்று இல்லே நாளை இல்லே
எப்பவும் நான் ராஜா
கோட்டை இல்லே கொடியும் இல்லே
அப்பவும் நான் ராஜா

(அக்னிநட்சத்திரம்)

Don't know the reason, this is "playing in the mind" from this morning - though I haven't heard this in weeks!

Thanks raj_musing. For some reason I thought MD Rajendran was a composer... my bad.

Rajkumar,

MD Rajendran is a lyric writer. he's basically an announcer at AIR Thrissur, A self proclaimed IR Fan . Although he has written for many MD's, in terms of ratio, it has probably worked best with IR - almost all songs with IR have been Hits. He has done some work recently as a music director (For some devotional songs, though).
