Song of the Day, Jan 29, 2006

This post has a couple of songs -- one by kishore da and one my MS. Both the songs incredibly well rendered by the respective singers and I guess most of us have heard these two songs before.

Song: Mere Naina Saawan Bhadon (listen)
Singer: Kishore Kumar
Composer: R D Burman
Movie: Mehbooba

Song: Kurai Ondrum Illai (listen)
Singer: M S Subbulakshmi
Composer: Rajaji

Reason for the post: I had a hunch that the two were in the same ragam and did some research on them. Turns out that 'Mere Naina ...' is based on the Raga Sivaranjani (is this right?) . And 'Kurai Ondrum ...' is a ragamalika with the first part (pallavi, anupallavi and the first charanam) in Sivaranjani. (fundaes)

more fundaes on ragas based on sa re ga pa dha sa.

"Mere naina.." is a slight variation on sivaranjani according to the link.

Another song that somes to mind upon listening to "Mere Naina" is "Oh Priya Priya". This probably belongs to the slight variation of "Sivaranjini". The song is there in in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu:

Telugu Movie : Geethanjali listen

Tamil Movie : Idayathai Thirudadhe listen

Hindi Movie : Dil listen
