Pavana, I do not appreciate your enthusiasm...because it is misdirected...the song that you are referring to here is a famous MS Subbulakshmi song called "Vanaththil meedhu mayil aada kanden mayil kuil aachudhadi"...The point is both the songs are based in same raaga Mandu and hence the resemblence...The song I guess is written my Paapanasam sivan (correct me if I am wrong)...It is quite famous...How can you say ARR copied the song when all he did is use the raaga...If you remember seeing TV , there was a program in Vijay TV(Old Vijay) when this film was released and Actor Rehman was going round the city and meeting people gathering opinion about the film and the music...In one instance, he stopped in front of some 3 elders (senior citizens) and asked about the songs..They said that till then they had only heard ARR with only electronic sounds and vessel braking noise(one person mentioned it in a lighter vain)...but with sangamam, ARR gave some pure classical song with out playing around Ragaas...They specifically mentioned this nithyashree's song and how it satisfied hardcore carnatic lovers like them..
Just for clarification purpose let me bring in IR (here just for example)...many would have heard IR's classic called Mogamul...there is a song called "Sollaayo vai thirandhu" in raaga Shanmuga priya..If you listen to that it will be exactly like a replica of "Vilayada idhu nerama" - a famous carnatic song made popular my Maharajapuram Santhaanam...I did not see any body claiming it to be a copied stuff...ALL we need it is a little bit of common sense and understanding about classical music and its adaptation..Certain raagas can be improvised and certain cannot be and hence one has to play it as per the strictures. Hope this clarifies.. regards, Karthik ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pavana Kumar CM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [arr] Sangamam IS IT.... - Blatant Copy of Sowkkiyama song!!! > > Hi, > > This song is a direct lift by ARR from some > popular carnatic tamil song.
