    The Isai payanam Video was very explanatory. The examples do seem to have a common thread but I still don't get the raaga classifications. Hopefully, someday I might :)

    Sub: The Allure of Anandhabhairavi- Charulatha Mani's article in the Metroplus under
    A Raga's Journey.

    A discussion on film songs set in
    classical ragas will always be a controversial subject and requested you to better
    stop the series . Charulatha Mani's article on Anandha bhairavi appearing in today's
    Metroplus very clearly shows her lack of knowledge in film music and just for the
    sake of publicity she is scribbling something with some flowery language and you are
    also publishing it without verifying the veracity of her statements in the articles.
    When we have so many beautiful compositions set in Anandhabhairavi by several of our
    music composers in the past the list of songs that she has given in her article very
    clearly shows that she is the not the right person to handle this topic.

    ...much verbal diarrhoea and rude language omitted... webmaster

    Dear KUMARASWAMY SUNDAR,sundar@safetygroup.biz, I do understand your feeling and dissapointment. I am sorry that it really did not work for you. Perhaps you could try listening to CLM Anandabhiravi few more times before seeking alternative medication. However, the fact remains that Anandabhiravi is "One raga that can help to reduce high blood-pressure levels, promote mental stability and cure depression".
    Once again sorry if it did not work.

    Thanks for sharing this. I think 'Dhevadhai Vamsam Neeyo' by Vidyasagar from the film Snehidhiye is a very nice composition in Anandha Bhairavi.

'Vaidehi Kathirunthal' - 40th Anniversary

Image
Vaidehi Kathirunthal is a 1984 film written and directed by R. Sundarrajan, starring Vijayakanth and Revathi. The story was developed based on songs that Ilaiyaraaja had composed earlier. Released on 23 October 1984, it became a commercial success and emerged a breakthrough in 'Captain' Vijayakanth's career. The film is memorable to this day for its evergreen raga-based music by the maestro Ilaiyaraja. Abhogi ragam: T he evergreen classic ' Indraikku en indha anandame ' is an example of how a classical raga may be adapted to silver screen seamlessly and uncompromisingly. This composition of Ilayaraja is set in tisra nadai, the beat progressing in threes, making for lively listening. The singers Vani Jayaram and Jayachandran, both classically adept, cleverly navigate through the sangatis in “kanavugalin suyamvaramo”, gently swaying the Gandhara towards Madhyama and back.       Chandrakauns ragam: Ilaiyaraaja has explored this raga to its fullest in ‘ Azhagu Malar ...
