Superstar Rajnikanth launches the audio of "Bujjigadu-Made in Chennai" which has my first Telugu Film Song!

K.S Ramarao, Sandeep Chowta, Prabhas, Puri Jagannath and Rajnikanth

And finally it is out! Yes folks....My first Telugu film song is out in the market now. When Sandeep Chowta told me "Pradeep....it will not get bigger than this" when I was recording the song, I did not even imagine that it would be so big!
Superstar Rajinikanth officially launched the first audio of the film 'Bujjigadu - Made In Chennai' at a function that was organized at the Andhra club in Chennai, yesterday evening at 6 p.m.
Speaking at the audio release function of the Telugu movie 'Bujjigadu – Made In Chennai', Rajnikanth, said, "Puri Jaganath" introduced Kannada matinee idol Rajukumar's son on to the silver screen. Chiranjeevi's son is shaping his career in filmdom under the able guidance of Puri Jaganath. Had I had a son, I would have ensured that he is introduced to cinema by Jaganath."
On taking part in the function, the superstar also commented, "normally I am choosy on attending public functions. However when I was approached for this event, I told to them to have a gala function at Andhra Club."
Directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by K.S Rama Rao, 'Bujjigadu - Made In Chennai' features Prabhas and Trisha in lead roles. The lead pair was also present for the audio launch, among other film personalities. Priyamani and Sanjana too added gloss to the already glittering evening.
Rajinikanth also expressed his confidence that this movie starring Prabhas, Trisha and Mohan Babu would go on to become a big hit.
Sandeep Chowta has scored music for the movie and all the songs have reportedly come good. The music of this film is being released by Aditya Music Company.
The film would hit the big screen on 16th May. The audio CD is available at all music outlets across Andhra and leading Music outlets like Planet-M and Times Music outlets across the country.

Poove Semboove-An alltime classic by Illaiyaraja

After a long layoff from the blogging world due to the shocking death of my dearest friend Philip and then a bad viral fever which gave me a long lasting cough and sinusitis, I am back again.
This song has been one of my favorites all along since I heard it in the 80's. Even though the picturisation of this song was atrocious in the film, the song has lived through the ages due to the sheer compositional brilliance of Illayaraja, touching lyrics by Vaali and the mesmerising voice of K.J Yesudas!
I would like to thank my Muziboo friend Kumar Srinivasan for sharing the Karaoke track with me.

Song: Poove Semboove
Film:Solla Thudikuthu Manasu (1988)
Singer: K.J Yesudas
Music Director: Illaiyaraja
Lyrics: Vaali

Philip V Francis.....The God's took him away to lead their Choir......

As I write this post tears don't seem to stop rolling from my eyes....Till last Tuesday he was there....and today he is no more in this world. I am totally devastated .....I can't even think of my musical world without my Philip....He was the only person with whom I talked my heart out about music....And now a terrible bike accident has taken him away from this world....The God's must be crazy....or jealous...He met with this terrible mishap right at the front gate of the Church where he used to lead the Choir.....He sang so much for God.....and God took him away so soon....Maybe to lead his Choir....maybe to let Philip's dream come true....he would meet his favourite musicians there....Baburaj, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Madan Mohan....He was a soul who could not even think of harming anybody...And why would he have to bear such such a fate? His sole wealth was music....He lived and breathed music.....Till day before yesterday there was hope....Today early morning he was clinically pronounced dead....after he fought with the inevitable for a week....we all prayed for him....did he really want to die? Was he fed up of this world where genuine music was becoming a rare commodity?
It may seem a coincidence...but Music Director "Raveendran Master" left us on a March 3. Now Philip who has worked with him leaves us on a March 4th!
I can't write more.....I am totally shattered and in shock!
I had written about his genius before here...

http://www.pradipsomasundaran.com/2006/10/introducing-genius-of-philip-v-francis.html
I re-post this song of his........in his memory....Every time I had heard this song I had cried....and I had told Philip about it....He had just smiled.....Now I know why!

May his soul rest in peace....

Song: Mezhuthiri Poole

Chandana Manivaathil-Nostalgic Raveendran!

Before Reveendran Master had departed from this world, he had given at least one gem to every singer which he or she could treasure for ever in life! Chandana Manivaathil was such a gem of a song that G. Venugopal had the opportunity to sing. Though the film did not see the light of the day, it was one of the best songs that Venu ever sang. Based on the raga "Hindolam" it creates a magical aura of romance and mystery for the listener. Sometimes it makes me wonder if this song was created just for Venu. It has become immortal in his voice!
Raveendran Master left this world on 3rd March 2005. But he lives within our hearts always!
Song: Chandana Manivaathil
Film: Marikkunnilla Njan (1988)
Music: Raveendran
Original Singer: G. Venugopal
Lyrics: Ezhacheri Ramachandran

Ajab Si-Om Shanti Om.....K.K Shines Again.....

"This is one of the best romantic songs I have ever heard in the recent times" is what Sharukh Khan himself said about the song "Ajab Si" from O.S.O! Its very true indeed. Simple, elegant, with minimum orchestration, but enchanting, melodious and immensely romantic is this song rendered by K.K. He has sung his heart out in this wonderful song set to tune by the immensely talented duo of "Vishal-Shekhar". This song though not played fully in the movie is used at all places when King Khan meets the petite Deepika Padukone! It takes you to a world of romance and dreams!
Love Makes Life Live! For those who really hold love in their hearts, every day is a celebration!
Let True Love Live Forever......
Song: Ajab Si
Film: Om Shanti Om
Original Singer: K.K (K Krishnakumar Menon)
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics: Vishal Dadlani

കാക്കക്കുയിലേ....ചൊല്ലൂ...കൈ നോ‍ക്കാനറിയാമോ...

ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ഇതിഹാസമാണു ദക്ഷിണാമൂര്‍ത്തി സ്വാമികള്‍....അദ്ദേഹം മലയാള സിനിമയില്‍ ചെയ്ത എല്ലാ ഗാനങ്ങളും ശാസ്ത്രീയ സംഗീതത്തില്‍ അലിഞ്ഞു ചേര്‍ന്ന മുത്തുകളായിരുന്നു....
അ‍‍ങ്ങിനെ ഒരു മുത്താണു ഞാന്‍ ഇവിടെ ഇന്നു അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നതു....
എന്റെ കൂടെ പാടുന്നതു ശരണ്യാ... പരിയാരം മെഡിക്കല്‍ കോളജില്‍ രണ്‍‍ടാം വര്‍ഷ M.B.B.S നു പഠിക്കുന്നു......
വിടരുന്ന...കുഞ്ഞു പൂവിന്റെ നറുമണം...മാധുര്യം...ഈ ശബ്ദത്തില്‍ അനുഭവിക്കാം....
ഇന്നു പിറന്നാള്‍ ആഘോഷിക്കുന്ന ശരണ്യക്കു....ഈ ഗാനത്തിലൂടെ...എല്ലാ മംഗളങ്ങളും നേരുന്നു.....

ഗാനം: കാക്കക്കുയിലേ ചൊല്ലു
ചിത്രം: ഭര്‍ത്താവു
സംഗീതം: വി. ദക്ഷിണാമൂര്‍ത്തി
വരികള്‍: പി. ഭാസ്കരന്‍

Annie's Song... Another John Denver Classic

After a long layoff due to a nagging cough, am back again with this evergreen song which always stirs my soul, every time I hear it. John Denver had a striking golden voice suited for country songs and every word that he sang was so clear. This song is supposed to be his dedication to his wife Annie.
