Malarnthum Malaratha  - Raaga Analysis and Carnatic Notations : The breathtaking song Malarnthum Malaratha from the Sivaji Ganesan, Savitri, Gemini Ganesan starrer Pasamalar is based on the Raga Abheri.

Kadhal Rojave : Raga Analysis, Notations and Review Kadhal rojavae, A song of sweet pain and flourishing memories is one of those songs we couldn't stop halfway even in situations we have to. One such song that makes us emotional, make ours a teary eye for no reason. The magic of music! As soon as the song begins, our eyes closes and we are transported to another world. The feel it gives us will not make us to stop the song, even when there is a sudden call of work! What an idea to give flute backing to Sujatha's voice, giving such a surreal and mesmerising effect.

Nenjukulle umma mudinjirukken!! ♥️ Nenjukulle, this song truly takes us to a whole new level, sweeping our senses in complete fascination and is mesmerising!  Only some songs has the power to change our disturbed mood upside down and this song tops the list! "Nenjukkulle"   truly plays a symphony with our heart!  A lilting melody with Spanish guitar like riffs - Effective use of strings, as always, and guitars make this song a repeated listener. The arrangement is trademark ARR and towards the middle of the song, the voice of Rahman sir in the humming portion elevates the song to a new heavenly plane. His voice as the male vocalist is the icing on the cake  ♥️☃️ This is also one of the few songs that are modern, yet stays true to its origins in absolute regard to the genre. Only AR Rahman can define new dimension of music and his every song has been an illustration over the years! Song : Nenjukulle Music : AR Rahman Movie : Kadal Direction : Maniratnam
