Hindi
Soch na sake – Airlift (Amaal Malik)
Also listen to the song’s original, by Hardy Sandhu – Soch.
Gerua and Daayre – Dilwale (Pritam)
Tere bin – Wazir (Shantanu Moitra)
Tamil
Title song, Kaadhal oru sadhurangam and Thiruvasagam – Azhagu Kutti Chellam (Ved Shanker Sugavanam)
Paaruruvaaya, Idarinum and Aattakkaari maaman ponnu – Thaarai Thappattai (Ilayaraja)
Thillu mullu and Mutta bajji – Gethu (Harris Jayaraj)
Azhagae – Kathakali (Hiphop Tamizha)
Pothi vacha – Kodai Mazhai (Sambasivam)
Lovely song. Reminds me of some other song that I’m not able to place rightaway, particularly the bridge, ‘adhu nandu illa, naanthaan’nu sollanum pol irukku’. Karthik and Parvathi in fantastic form!
Telugu
Chamma chakka – Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu (Achu)
Masti masti – Nenu Sailaja (Devi Sri Prasad)
Manasantha meghamai – Kalyana Vaibhogame (Kalyan Koduri)
Follow follow, Na manasu neeto and Don’t stop – Nannaaku Prematho (Devi Sri Prasad)
Nakem tochade – Soukhyam (Anup Rubens)
Nakem tochade is interesting with its seemingly Darbari Kanada raaga base and the lovely violin + mridangam background. And Hariharan’s singing, of course.
Sahaara – Garam (Telugu – Agasthya)
Don’t recall hearing composer Agasthya’s name earlier. Is he new? The song, the backgrounds remind me of Viju Shah’s musical style! Nice tune.
Malayalam
Neeyen sayahna swapnathil – Ma Chu Ka (Gopi Sundar)
The typical Gopi melody that he himself sings. The tune is completely immersive and the chorus he employs just enhances the appeal.
Akale, Pularikalo, Chithirathira and Chundari Penne – Charlie (Gopi Sundar)
Ponveyil veezhave – Jo and The Boy (Rahul Subramanian)
Ende maavum poothe and Maruda – Adi Kapyare Kootamani (Shaan Rahman)
Kannada
Hudugi – Maduveya Mamatheya Kareyole (V.Harikrishna)
Very rhythmic and catchy. Shashank Sheshagiri’s singing matters too!
Indipop
Sakhi re kahe (Kaanha mose) – Hariharan and Akshay Hariharan, for MTV Unplugged.
Stumbled on this MTV Unplugged song by Hariharan – a lovely thumri with a lovely jazzy coating! I thought the music had an Ilayaraja’ish touch too! It’s a pity that while MTV was so focused on getting all the sound/instrument and audio credits right, they completely missed the damned composer of the song. The song is the original composition of Hariharan’s son, Akshay Hariharan and was first in the soundtrack of the film, Black Home.
