KaviArasu:Ilaiyaraja KaviperArasu:A.R. Rahman

Kaviarasu Kannadasan, Isaignani Illaiyaraja, Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu and Isai Puyal A.R.Rahman are invaluable people for tamil cinema. All these four people are unique in their own way thats why they are called as Legends.

When we hear Kannadasan song we would ask ourself how this man come up with these lines, all his songs would exactly fits the situation of the movie. To my surpirse i heard that Kannadasan never sits and write a song, usually the director will tell the tune in no minutes he will start saying lyrics (Panchu Arunachalam will keep writing the lyrics). All his songs are simple and crisp but also he never misses creativity in his song. Recently i read a news about Kannadasan, Kavignar wrote a song 'Anbu Nadamadum Kalaikudamey' for the film Avan thaan manithan and it went for Recording. While giving this song Kavignar mentioned that he gave good hint in this song. The entire unit was bit confused and finally Mellisai Mannar MSV broked the secret Word 'May' followed in the entire song. During start of the movie, director mentioned to kavingnar that the movie is going to hit the screen in the month of may so that he wants the lyrics quickly. Kavignar replied superbly with his lyrics.

Isaignani Illaiyaraja is also of same cadre, he never things and write songs. Once the situation is given Raja will start giving tune. For his caliber recording all the songs for the movie karakatakaran (Tune, orchestration, recording) in less than half a day is not a big deal. Once in an interview ace director maniratnam said Raja would complete BGM for a movie in One stretch, he will see the movie once then he will start writing notes. If we play his notes, the BGM will exactly fits the situation and it will exactly synchronize with video with accuracy level of seconds. How this man do this? Still breaking my head to find out.

Coming to Vairamuthu and A.R.Rahman, they are creative thinkers. Both of them sits for long time to mold the song to perfection. Vairamuthu took even days to write a song, but when you hear the song you can feel the his creativity to greater extent. A.R.Rahman employs so many layer of music in his songs, during my school days while hearing songs of Mudhalvan, Jodi i was taken to different world and surprised of hearing so many sounds in seconds gap.

So what is the final verdict, do i am relating Kannadasan and Illaiyaraja with my previous post Karma theory? Keep reading my post :)
