Echoes of the Maestro – Song 24 – Adi Raja Ponnu

“Orey Muththam,” directed by C.A. Mugilan, is his only directorial movie. Unfortunately, this movie was a big box office flop. If you’re lucky, you might find a poor-quality print of this movie on YouTube. I haven’t seen the movie, but the biggest saving grace is Illayaraja’s songs.

Echoes of the Maestro – Song 23 – Mazhalai Endrum Maaradhu

Mazhalai Endrum Maaradha is featured in the Sethupathi IPS movie. The entire album itself is a gem, but Saathu Nada Saathu overshadowed all of them. I still remember watching this film in theaters, closing my eyes, and waiting for the boy to meet Sethupathi IPS during that song sequence.

Echoes of the Maestro – Song 12 – Kola kolaya Mundhirikka

Kola Kolaya Mundhirikka seems to have been an anthem back then and it’s a shame most of us hadn’t heard it (or is it just me? I was not even born when this movie came out) and I used to play this game when I was a kid and now it is nowhere to be seen.

Echoes of the Maestro – Song 11 – Poonthendrale

Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri is one of the rarest films in Tamil that changed the trajectory of an actor who we now fondly call Superstar. Until this film, Tamil audiences knew Rajnikant only as a villain actor and this film proved them wrong. The same happened to veteran actor Sivakumar who until this film only acted as Goody Two Shoes and this film showed the audience another side of the actor.
