moha mull..

I've been looking to listen to songs from this movie for so long. If am not wrong, this was a novel by Janakiraaman (Yup..did a google search and it proved me right!!) and received rave reviews. I've not read the novel but did watch the movie in my school days.

Didn't have such a good ear for music then..but then when i really took to Raaja, there was one song in this movie that seems to have left such an impression on me..Sollayo vaai thiranthu (sung by MG Sreekumar, resembles Yesudas' voice, every mallu singers' voice is that way!!)..am listening to that on raaga.com..(http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/movie/T0000664.html) and it still remains as fresh as ever. I guess the singer's voice blends so well with the minimal BGM in that song evoking a strong feeling of a lover pining for her counterpart. Surprisingly even the interludes in this song are so minimal, which is so un-Raja-like.

I really have no idea of carnatic music but somehow felt the pallavi of the song 'Yengae Yenathu kavithai' from Kandukonden Kandukonden strongly resembles 'Nenje Gurunatharin' from this movie and that is when i started looking for Mohamull's songs.

Should read this novel sometime soon. To me, a book is always better than the celluloid. One catch though, is that, if books were not made on celluloid, I would have missed out on some great music!!
