Kadhal Rojave - A R Rahman - SP Balasubramaniam - Roja (1992) - REACTION!! 

Roja changed Indian film music across all languages forever.

When ROJA came out, the existing music directors were absolutely terrified. They had never heard anything like this before, and they knew there is a new king in town.

He is no more.... physically, but his voice is eternal.

Rahman’s first song that left an impression on a billion hearts.

Great thing about this song is that the beauty of the lyrics are preserved across languages... You get the same feel in all the language ...

React to "En Kadhale" song from the movie "Duet". Sung by SPB, Music - AR RAHMAN

6:40 The reason why he is "left with thorns to kiss" is because "roja" in English means "rose". Hence, with the rose gone, he has the thorns left to kiss this detail makes me love the song sooo much more

I got goosebumps as song starts......I can't believe it 2020 but it still feels fresh and pure. A R Rehman legend and all time favourite.

Pudhu Vellai Mazhai... Another masterpiece of the same movie which instilled the love to Kashmir in all our hearts

Cool trivia: A. R. Rahman was just 25 years old when he composed for Roja.

Not only he sings with the emotional connect but also he modulates his voice to suit the actor, few super star actors wanted SPB to sing for them else they would not act in the movie, more than a legendary singer he was humble treated everyone around him with respect be it a new comers or fans... RIP SPB your voice will live forever... Legends never die

Crying while watching this as the singer SPB sir is no more. He passed away recently even after assuring all the people that he will be fine n healthy soon. 😢 God please heal the world of covid.🙏

Black day for all Indians... Miss u balu sir... May his soul attain mokaya😭😭😭

The unique quality of SPB's singing is when he sings for a particular artist you feel like actually that artist himself is singing that song..................

thanks for listening to the original composition in Tamil rather than stereotyping it back to Hindi

Exactly said.. He is only person who captures the emotions COMPLETELY 200% lives the song when he sings... He lives with us❤❤

1. Nayakan (1987 - Cult Gangster film of India, also parts based on true life sruffs) 2. Roja (1992 - Wife tries to rescue abducted husband when he goes to Kashmir for crypting military messages during Kashmir conflict, first of terrorism trilogy of Bombay & Dil Se) 3. Bombay (1995 - A love story, Set in the middle of Hindu - Muslim Riots during demolition of Masjid at the time) 4. Anjali (1990 - A child considered dead, is found to be alive but with a mental illness by her parents, whose family faces societal challenges to raise the child) These are top 4 films that'll open doors for you to some of his other beautiful films, and know how versatile his projects are... Get exposed to some of true Indian masterpieces

Roja is a musical gift from AR RAHAMAN, KS CHITRA, SP BALASUBRAMANIAM and HARIHARAN. All legends togather ❤️

Just for the info, this song has been listed by Time magazine as '10 Best Soundtracks' of all time.

The way that A.R Rahman has blended Synthwave/Retrowave with indian classical music is just mind boggling ....

India lost a legendary singer SP BALASUBRAMANYAM SIR...😔😔😭😭😢....miss you sir..😞😔

SPB + ARR + VAIRAMUTHU(lyricist) = Heaven💯💓

Balasubramanian has no counterpart to their voice. Only he can bring the song to life...

தன் வாழ்நாளின் முமு மூச்சையும் பாடலாக கொடுத்து சென்றவர் SPB அவர்கள் உலகின் கடைசி புள்ளி இருக்கும் வரை அவரின் பாடல் ஒலிக்கும்

My whole Nation is feeling sad for this Legend , Forever SPB

Roja all songs are gems together with A. R rehman n sp bala subramanyam

There are two types of fan for ARR one who listens and enjoys another observes and it gets attached to their soul. I think korbin gets entertained and rick obviously gets connected to his soul♥️

rick nailed it about SPB. SPB ACTS with his voice he is not a singer he is an actor.

Sp balasubramaniyam has got 6 national award for 6 songs you guys can react to those 6 songs sung by spb .

Rick was spot-on at 10:00 That's why people love him.. The emotion that he puts in his songs is next to non Please react to 'Anjali Anjali' from 'Duet' movie

I loved this movie, I even got crush on Arvind Swami after watching this movie. But best part of movie which every one should watch was the scene when a kashmiri boy burns flag and Arvind Swami runs and lie down on the flag and music score running behind-that-scenes was out of the word, I got goose bums in that scene. Hats off to director and A.R.Rehman for that music score.

SPB can be considered as the greatest and the most influential singer of India. His works during the late 80s and 90s along with Ilaiyaraja still feels fresh. He might be passed away but his voice will remain forever immortal #Riplegend 🙏

Roja is a debut movie for ARR as composer and it gained “national award” for him which is the highest award similar to oscars within India

Even though his voice sounds classic he was originally not a classically trained singer & learnt much later after he became popular..

I loved Aravind Samy when I was studying. He was one of the hansome in 90s

I can still rmbr when Roja first came out- was in high school in Malaysia, part of the Indian diaspora that wanted as little to do with Indian cinema or music coz it was boring bla bla, the kind of stuff our parents were into, therefore we were too cool for it. Then Roja blasted on the screens with this amazing score by A. R. Rahman. In one fell swoop, Mani Ratnam and ARR revitalised the movie/ music industry for us outside of India. Definitely watch Roja, Thiruda Thiruda, Duet and even Minsara Kanavu (for the music - there’s a dance by Prabhu Deva and Kajol. When I saw the LaLa Land dance number, I only kept seeing Prabhu Deva/ Kajol in my head. They were decades ahead :)) great job by the way. Am a new fan, bingeing on your vids. Bringing back so many great memories. Thanks!

Listen to SPB songs 1)Satham illadha thanimai- Sings Breathless 2) Mama mama Masti- As Female Voice 3) Neenu neene illi nanu nane- Switches to two voices ( Old man and Young Man) 4)Thali kattu Shubhavela(Making different sounds of the nature) 5) Mannil indha Kadhal( Breathless+Melody) You know why he is a Legend

Just say “S.P.B.”

"Roja" what a sweet name, meaning Rose ! And you made it .... RRRHOOOJAAAA !! Hulk'ing the names, eh ?😂

really appreciate your efforts and thoughtfulness to give a very well deserved tribute to S.P.Balasubhrahmanyam sir . Where bollywood did not even acknowledge the fact that he is no more. Where he has lend his voice to so many actors. This just goes on to say , how much we expected out of some people. Maybe we as people do not appreciate someone and you guys give so much respect and their due in your own way. Thankyou so much.

Tamil is awesome language . Love from Kerala 💘

Then finally.. This you missed.. too late.. but anyway after spb passed away.. thanks to react

Rick is spot on about SPB's emotional connect and capacity to make us feel the songs! Good job 👏😄

Hey Guys....He was and he is and he will be the greatest singers of all time. He is the Legend. He sang more than 40000+ songs

He is the only singer who was booked by a actor for every film of his and said would not act without his callsheet.plz react to more,in kannada also

Rip spb sir😭😭 he is not died, now he is living in our hearts❤💞 🥺🥺

Correctly said Rick! SPB brings the mood and emotion of the incident into the song with the modulations he shows in his voice! Such a legend! We're gonna miss him💔

That movie gave ARR first National Award and making him the youngest music director to get it and it was his first movie.

In 80s 90s Rajini's intro song means it's sung by spb its a mandatory

This is the only reaction channel that don't see any partiality. Reacts from all language which most channel don't do

Most beautiful composer♥️ Most beautiful Actor♥️ Most beautiful Actress..♥️ Most beautiful Director..♥️ Everything is beautiful....

Dis is the music that changed the Indian music and created a new generation...magic seen by ppl and everyone was shocked and listed to it again and again to beleive it..

That flute interlude that comes after the first verse always gives me goosebumps. The emotions in SPB's voice, followed by the fleeting flute melody, then Sujatha's golden voice. Just beautiful. 😇

This entire album Roja is a gem..please react to all songs.. especially 'puthu vellai mazhai'

Oh wow! It is the first time I am listening to this original tamil song. I've always listened to the hindi version before and I've loved it. But man! This one made me so emotional for some reason. This is my personal favourite from now on...

One of those rare songs that you can listen in any language and be impressed equally regardless. Rahman's music is timeless! 🖤

Tamil is so Beautiful language.... Oofffff.... A r u will be always in top...

Also react to Puthu Vellai Mazhai and Chinna Chinna Aasai songs from Roja ❤️❤️

One of the greatest Composer/composition of all time... a new sound been created by the Maestro name AR Rahman... love you Sir....🙏

Korbin: “Wow, I love the note that he gets to” Yup, so did a billion of us. Void left by SPB is something that nobody can fill 😭

The great SPB!!. That man could act with his voice! RIP. How I miss him

Listen to "satham illatha thanimai" where SPB sung without taking breathe....

I was not even teen when this movie release Don't know why I loved it ..am still loving Try thendral vandhu from avathaaram movie

You guys are amazing... Thanks for choosing this song ... This song will be an all time favourite for all tamilians....

Actually for subs for songs ...we have to visit OSR reactions... no where else in RU-vid we get subs for these great songs...Kudos to Subbers ❤️❤️

Rightly said Rick ! He emotes emotions in his voice !

For both Ilayaraja and AR Rahman, their music in early years sounds more divine and out of this world.

The singer, the legend S.P.Balasubramanyam has sung over 40,000 songs in multiple languages, won multiple state and national awards for his music, and yet was never classically trained in music. It’s his endearing quality to be simple, available to all and the ability to lift other singers with him with his music , humility, sense of purpose towards music and extremely down to earth and an eager student of music. His vocal range, ability to infuse longing and emotion in his music and control over his voice have spawned generations of his music fans in India crossing linguistic barriers. He was the go to singer for Salman Khan and a host of other Bollywood actors and the staple for stars such as Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi etc. He was affectionately referred to the “Paadum Nila” or the “Singing Moon” by his fans. His collaborations with A.R Rahman and more importantly the Maestro Illaiyaraja, who AR Rahman regards as his guru, gave birth to phenomenal music in the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s.... Rest In Peace genius SPB sir ....

I was 3 years old when this film released. I used to sing the alap (vocalisation part) all day and ask my mom to sing it for me. Music of this film is outstanding. You should react to "Yeh haseen vadiya" next.

Thank you for reacting so fast about the legend

"Connectedness of the emotion to the singing" BINGO!! That's what SPB Sir is about. The perfect feel! :)

Maniratnam's biggest classic would be 'iruvar' - with Mohan Lal, Prakash Raj and Aiswarya Rai in the leads.. another ARR musical hit. (Not forgetting Nayakan and Dalapathi )

The legendary singer passed away yesterday

Please react to ANJALI ANJALI from the movie DUET

Yeh haseen wadiyan one of my favorite track from this movie, you guys will love it, it's beautiful and haunting 👍

Tamil is such a beautiful language. Roja was an outstanding movie. And AR Rahman was superb.

Wish you could dedicate a whole week to SPB sir's songs, from all languages .I can listen to his voice the whole day.

This is arrahman's first movie

Yes he is born composing. His father was a well k own musician in South

*If you close your eyes and focus on the divine voice, you will be get goosebumps for sure.*

He is like a family member for all telugu Tamil people best singer of India 💔💔💔

He is actually evergreen. He was active and busy in music till his death. Extraordinary breathcontrol one of his speciality. Missing so badly😭

Late S P Balasubrahmanyam holds the Guinness World Records for singing more than 40k film songs in his career spanned over 5 decades..! A R Rahman 'The Musical Storm' & 'Mozart of Madras' that's how he has been called had won The National Award for his debut film ROJA (Tamil)..! We and especially I'm grateful to the film director Maniratnam for introducing A R Rahman 'A Real Gem of India' to the World..! Literally I've no words to describe these three great film personalities SPB, Maniratnam & ARR.

@ricksegall, you nailed it. SPB as he is lovingly called made us connect to the songs with the emotions of the song. There is a song that SPB has sung that we can associate with every stage of our lives in the 50+ years he had been singing. RIP SPB! You will be dearly missed.

Korbin : This reaction will kill 2 birds with one stone Disclaimer: No birds were harmed during the filming of this video

Oh my god song from roja.. 🙂Not only subbed, song itself like modern poetry.. She subbed exactly as it is..

The songs in this movie marked the change in trend and style of Tamil cinema songs. The was the entry of ARR in the world of cinema. And ofcourse there is the magic touch of SPB here that made the difference.

Yes you are absolutely right. He sings with his heart and soul. Sing with feel .

Maniratnam’s each movie is a masterpiece

Do react to En kaadhale from the movie Duet...... IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITION ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Spb sir. Bringing all Kind of emotions in his songs . That is the unique of him

Legendary Song. It gives me goosebumps every damn time.

With all due respect to AR Rahman's all other scores, this rates slightly higher than them.

I literally cried when i got the news in the middle of attending my semester exam and even now now crying on hearing this...... SPB sir😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

S. P. Balasubramaniam sir is a legendary indian singer and sang more than 47 thousand songs in different indian languages. We lost him recently. I would like to pay my condolences through your channel. Thanks for reacting to this beautiful song.

We all miss you SPB sir, thank you for all the wonderful songs, you were the best of the best. Your songs will live forever and they are so beautiful that they are etched into our heart and soul.

He has sung more than 40k songs, he's a legend.

Spb is greatest singer of South cinema , precisely Telugu cinema....being a Telugu person like SPB it's a sad moment for all Telugu ppl and it's like their family member has passed away....he did great work in tamil too.....we will miss you Balu garu ♥️🙏

The singer of this song, S P Balasubramaniam is no more with us. Let's pray for his soul. 🙏

I don't understand the language but the music talks for it self. Always bring tears to my eyes. Another favourite masterpiece by A. R. Rahman is Roja Roja. My soul leaves my body everytime ❤️🙏
