Multiple Versions of a Single Tune

Exceptional 44 Comments »
  • It is possible for a song or tune to have so many versions (may be in same language or in different languages).
  • One such master piece which has multiple versions (all of them are great) is our Maestro Ilaiyaraaja’s tune.
  • First Version got released in the year 1982 for the Malayalam movie “Olangal” directed by the legendary director Balu Mahendra. Music by Ilaiyaraaja.The song is “Thumbi Vaa”.
  • Second Version came out the same year for the Telugu Movie “Nireekshana” directed by Balu Mahendra. Music by Ilaiyaraaja and the song is “Aakasham enatidho”.
  • Third Version came out one year later (1983) for the Tamil movie “Auto Raja” which has actor Vijayakanth in the lead role.
  • Actually the movie “Auto Raja” has music composed by none other than Shankar Ganesh. The producer of the movie was impressed by the song “Thumbi Vaa” from Olangal.So he requested our Maestro Ilaiyaraaja to compose the same tune in Tamil and the final product is “ Sangathil Paadatha Kavidhai”
  • And here comes the fourth version “Neer Veezhchi thee mootudhae” from the movie “Kanne Kalaimaane” which got released in the year 1988.Music by Ilaiyaraaja.
  • And here is the final version “Monday Tho” from the movie “Aur Ek Prem Kahani” released in 1995.The movie is a remake of Kannada movie “Kokila” directed by Balu Mahendra. Music by Ilaiyaraaja …
  • What about the Instrumental versions? You may ask… There are two available as far as I know.
  • First one from Ilaiyaraaja sir’s Jaya TV concert “Andrum Indrum Endrum”.
  • Second one from Ilaiyaraaja’s “music Journey -Live in Italy 2005” concert.
  • Note : The tune came as a background track in the movie “Moondram Pirai” directed by Balu Mahendra with Raaja sir’s Humming.I think this must be Balu Mahendra Sir’s favourite tune.He has used it in four of his movies so far.
  • See Sujatha and Swetha Mohan singing “Thumbi Vaa” from Olangal here and note Balu Mahendra sir’s reaction in the video.
  • Download Lyrics for the songs “Sangathil Paadatha Kavithai” and “Neer Veezhchi Thee Mootudhae” here(available as JPG)…
