Rawat, i understand u feel comfortable listening to Hindi songs as u understand them. But Rawat, seriously, as for me, im not being bad here, but most of his dubbed albums from Tamil to Hindi r not in par with the originals (Tamil). Take Roja, Kadhalan, Bombay and such, that spark was missing in the Hindi and Telugu versions. i shall give a detailed explanation below.
But this is always not the case, im not being totally inclined towards Tamil only. For instance im a crazy fan of One 2 Ka 4, Lagaan and such. I could not bare to listen to the Tamil version of Sona Nahi, Osaka Muraiya, Ruth Agayire and such. I actually kept the cassettes far from my reach. It spoilt the initial magic of the Hindi versions. Same thing for New-Naani album. The "Pedave Palinke" was so magical which i couldnt digest the Tamil version of it "Kaalayil Dhinamum". Same thing goes to the the Kannada version of Doli Sajakhe Rakhna/Jodi. Well i really liked "Chandramukiye" than "Velli Malare" and " Bhol Sajini". The Kannada language was too beautiful for that song. Loved how Madhushree went "Surya Sakani....Surya Sakani..." such beautiful song. That particular song in Kannada sounded the best among all the version. Another thing Rawat, if u feel u want to listen to ARR's Tamil songs (Yes, im guessing ur missing allot of his Gems, seriously)... i would like u to go through these albums,they were not dubbed into Hindi. 1.Kangalal Kaithi Sei (M-A-G-I-C)<-- says it all. 2.Anthimanthirai (the most underrated album, but the theme musics r mindblowing) 3.Uzhavan (start with Pennale Pennale, an amazing song) 4.Iruvar (oh please please listen to this, magical Mani-ARR album) 5.Sangamam (i think u wont be able to like this, since its a very typical South Indian flavor, but nevertheless, u should not miss "Sowkiyama".) 6.Thenali's Porkalam, Thakirikitha, Swasame. 7.Kannathil Muttamittal (Excellent album, esp Vellai Pookal and Kannathil Muttamittal by Chinmayi) 8.Rhythm (amazing score... the panchaboothangal - 5 elements were composed beautifully in each song. Each songs represent each element. Listen to them and guess which is which... ;) ) 9. Boys (Amazing album, it was a second Roja for ARR in Tamil. This album made ARR bounced back again, after a serious of flops in Tamil, both movie and album wise - read Star, Alli Arjuna, Udhaya, PArashuram). On the dubbed albums, here r the once u SHOULD not miss. 1.Alaipayuthey (Original version of Saathiya) - Listen to Pacchai Niramey, Hariharan gave the whole song such life. He sung the song as if he is whispering those beautiful lyrics into the lady's ears. Such soft and delicate song. Sneghidene was beautiful as the male chorus had a very haunting magic in it. And Sadhana did a wonderful job in the Tamil/Telugu version. U should listen to know what i mean. And Evano Oruvan is such a powerful song. Such sadness in the song. Was totally missing in that Hindi version. And ARR used this song as BGM so beautifully in Alaipayuthey. Really emoted the scenes so well. Yaaro Yaarodi is too Tamil folkish to suit the Hindi lyrics. But im surprised how ARR did manage to give it the right feel for Chalka. Still Yaaro Yaarodi had a very rustic feel. Kadhal Sadugudu was soo sweet. A real contrast compared to Adnan' Sami in Aye Udi Udi. Its like 2 different songs. U should listen to Tamil version. it will be a new feel for u. 2.Thiruda Thiruda - Seriously, the Chinese girl's work in Thee Thee is unmatchable... such beautifuly rendered. lovely, and powerful. Ofcource, all the tracks should be listened to be enjoyed. 3.Uyire - All the songs had a different feel. When u listen to Uyire, u wont have a feel ur listening to a dubbed album. It has its own identity. IF u think Lata did a splendid job in Jiya Jale, please listen to what S.Janaki did in Nenjinile. Check out how did she finished the song with her rendition. Just so appropriate. No offense meant to Lata and her version though, just S.Janaki did it too well that it needs such acknowledgment. Do listen to it. Thaiyya Thaiyya had a different feel alltogether, compared to Chaiyya Chaiyya. Poongatrile was magical.... amazing rendition by Unnimenon. Ofcource the other 90s original Tamil albums should be visited. It holds its own charm. But the above are a must, immediately. haha This mail is not directed to Rawat alone, but to all the ARR fans who did not get a chance to listen to these version because they do not understand Tamil/Telugu/Kannada. Please do. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat <vsra...@...> wrote: > > On 5/6/2010 10:04 AM India Time, _Dinesh Scaran_ wrote: > > > People should learn to love songs despite the language.... > > Indeed. good point. > > Could you share how that can be inculcated as I seem to be missing a > lot of Tamil gems of ARR not knowing the language so I don't listen to > them much. > > -- > Rawat >
