I'm Telugu speaking native from India. When I was child this song dubbed in Telugu was a smash sensation. The song translates to King of Kings. Even if you don't have a kingdom or palace you are still a king. Here this Hero is an unemployed youth. While his half-brother is a police officer. Here he still considers that every one is a king.😂
Lyricist VAALI said he has penned a lot of songs with the words "Raja" (meaning: king) because ILAYARAJA was very much WORTHY of it! Apparently, you did not know that.
Holyshit! Certainly one of the best works of Ilayaraja. Way ahead of its time. I still have it in my music library! If you have the best audio setup (home theatre/dopest earphones), then listen to "Ninukori varanam" you will blown by the music!
Someone challenged ilayaraja that his songs are great because of his strings and hence he composed this only with acoustic instruments. You gota hear the audio version , there is multiple layers of voices and bass used 💥💥 Fun fact : ilayaraja has songs of all genres specially "comedy" genre which no one has. 🤩
You can see Young kid Prabhu Deva in White T-Shirt (dances to the left of Karthik) , this dance was choreographed by Prabhu Deva's father Sundaram master. This song gave the idea for Prabhu Deva to shoot Chikku Bukku Raiyile song in the same venue, ie) Egmore Raiway Station, Chennai.
Agni Natchathiram was the Best Music album of 1980s 🎉 and listen to other songs from Bollywood and other movie industries in 1988. Nothing can beat this Music Album 💿 by Ilaiyaraaja. It was a sensational hit in Telugu too. Tamil songs were sung by Yesudas, Ilaiyaraaja and Janaki and Chithra. Telugu songs were sung by SPB, Vani Jayaram and Chithra.
Ilayaraja has done more than 1400 south Indian film song Albums...But this album stands out, unbelievable songs...my request to u is to react to all the songs...Next should be 1.Oru poongavanan(Must)2.Vaa va anbae 3.Ninnukori varanam 4. Roja poo adivanthathu 5. Thoongatha vizhigal rendu. I cant believe each album The maestro gives dynamically different variety gem of songs...how is it possible...some music directors are about quality some are about quantity,but IR is god level quality of music,quantity no one in the world can imagine or comprehend and if u research his music,it goes on like alice in wonderland or like a Christopher nolan movies...And also this music takes you close to divinity.I am here i can suggest u songs pls ask or contact...
Isaignani Ilaiyaraja is so special in creating all songs in a movie hit. This is Maniratnam film. Here are some Maniratnam movies from Maestro Ilayaraja music composition. 1. Idhaya koil 2. Idhayathai Thirudathe 3. Pagal Nilavu 4. Nayagan 5. Mouna ragam 6. Anjali etc. Please react to Poo malaye from Pagal Nilavu from his own voice with S Janaki.
React to Vikram title song from the original Vikram movie (1986). Its got some rap elements in Tamil sung by Kamal hassan. Probably India's first rap...
Why you felt different than other songs of Ilaiyaraja, because it has no strings section in this music. Raja is famous for using strings, that is why this song is iconic.
You just had a touch down onto the Treasure Island. All the songs in this movie had been improvised over the years in many many movies. The lead actors, lyrics, cinematography, music is top notch till date.
Fantastic selection of song.. ❤❤ this song has a special thing, no string and soft instruments used in this song.. no guitar, violin, piano, flute.. just drums and vocal..
Hi, Jimmy Cage .. Please react all the Other songs from the same movie because all are so... melody songs at that time... especially... "Ninu Kori... Varanam" song of Ammala & Prabhu and "oka Bridhavanam soyagam"... song of Nirosha & Karthik of telugu Dubbed song by name of the movie "Garshana" and if you want to react in tamil version song..... you can... still both are good... what ever you like it.... thanks for reacting such a Illayaraja & Mani Rantnam combination song..
React to "Thumbi vaa" song from Olangal(1982) by maestro Ilayaraja. The song has tamil, telugu and kannada variations. It is one of the best songs and possibly the best composition of IR.
MAESTRO ILAYARAJA has done it all. He brought/brings the world music in a platter, and has been acing it since 1976 (probably the ONLY COMPOSER in the world who has been active and relevant for 48+ YEARS now with 3 generations of actors and 1000+ movies). Now, as 81-YEAR-YOUNG, he still competes and makes his peers (less than thrice his age) works look pale. What was that "pre-Arr"?! Do your homework properly, before prattling such things.
Both this song and Chiku bukky rayile were shot at Chennai Egmore train station and both have Prabhu Deva in it. Did you notice the white t-shirt dancing to the right of the protagonist?
Karthik is a great actor and he is different from the other actors. Just review some of his movies like Gokulathil Seethai, Mouna Ragam, Varsham 16, Kizhakku Vasal, Agani Natchathiram
I'm amazed by the details you know about the Tamil movie industry. All comments were precise , you rightly related to Chikku bukku from Gentleman which came 5-6 yrs later by ARR. About the music genre and song made of only beats and percussion and no strings used which is usually the trademark of Ilayaraja. You guys know way too much 😮 . I loved it . Perhaps you might have to dumb it down for most of our 'stupid' viewers, you know what I mean. Just kidding, keep up ur great work ❤
The song is a personification of Ilaya(raja)[raja meaning is king in Tamil] himself. "Netru illai naalai illai yeppavum raaja" implying yesterday or tomorrow, I am always a king
