Kangal Irandal

My Take
Mez back in UK, a week ago. Will be around for sometime. Staying on Songs, man this song "Kangal Irandal" in the movie "Subramanyapuram" is probably the best i have heard in Tamil for a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CApQcVAYWHs. Set to the raagam "Reethi Gowlai" it's just magical. And it's composed by ex-TV presenter James Vasanthan. I though remember him as an irritating pedantic presenter.

I saw some of the movie clips in youtube and also the movie crew being interviewed by Anu Haasan in "Coffe with Anu season 2" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jennMPmTo6c. They have managed to create 80s Madurai in a beautiful way in this song-> Kudirai Vandi (Horse cart), Kammaa Karai (Pond Bank), Jigunaa Sattai (Fluorescent Shirts), Cycle, Naai (Dog), Pavaadai Dhavani potta vekka padara Ponnu (Refreshingly shy girl who is clad in half sari),

Saami urvalam (Procession of the gods in cars), Dhinathandhi (Dhinathandhi Newspaper), Thennai Maram (Coconut trees), Cinema Poster, Lungi, Oottu Vidu ...
I think this girl Swathi has a big future. Some good lines on this song that i read in the web

For every season there is one particular love song that Tamil Cinema assures which would become a welcome hit among all divisions of public. Kangal Irandal from Subramaniapuram is definitely making waves. Everything about this song would strike one in the first hearing itself. The open voices of the singers Belly Raj and Deepa Miriam(hav they sung any other songs?) The lyrics by Thamarai. She is too good. Right from her big break 'Vassegara', she has never failed to impress. Many of her famous numbers being under Gautham's direction. Engineer by education, writer by passion! 'Pesa enni sila naal arigil varuven, pinbu paarvai podhum ena naan, ninaithen nagardheney... maatri'. And the rhythm to this rhyme is given by 'James Vasanthan'(remember the anchor in sun tv...?) It seems he was a music teacher in Kodaikanal and the director of the movie 'Sasi Kumar' was his student. He had promised to give James a chance if he becomes a director. The worthy part of his music is the importance he gives to vocals. The flute is used whenever there is a pause in the vocal. This song is based on some classical raga(no idea what..?) but has a western peppy beat throughout the song. The beat snowballs when it reaches Kangal Irandal...the touch! And hey the video of the song is also good. But I wonder why the heroine blushes so much...?:)
