If I were to rate these songs then I would rate the Symphony version as the Best and the Hindi version would be the last on my list. And then it was a famous number, with people searching for the song everywhere. The song was “Sunday Tho.’ sung by Preethi Uttam Singh, which sank without a trace.Īfter this it was in 2004 that in the concert at Italy, IR delivered the symphony version of this composition titled as “Mood Kapi” and people were mesmerized by it.
But here is where IR disappoints by re-creating a composition as a fun song, rather than its soulful melodious earlier versions.

The only person who religiously loved that song was perhaps Balu Mahendra, for he again asked the Maestro to re-create the song for his Hindi movie ‘Aur Ek Prem Kahani’ (the remake of his Kannada original, ‘Kokila’)in 1996. This movie was in 1988 dubbed into Tamil as ‘Kanne Kalai Mane’ and the song was “Neer Veezhchi.” sung by S Janaki. And, again the song did not receive the recognition that the symphony version boasts of. The song was ‘Akasam Enatido.’ sung again by S Janaki as a solo. It was Balu Mahendra again in the same year who wanted IR to give him the composition for the Telugu movie ‘Nireekshana’ that he was directing. But again this did not receive the wide recognition like IRs other hit numbers. This number was hit in those times and few of my friends too remember it. That song was ‘Thumbi Vaa.’, sung by S Janaki as a solo number. Later that year, Balu Mahendra was working on a Malayalam movie with Amol Palekar – ‘Olangal’, and he being impressed with that Tamil song requested IR to recreate it for him. Unfortunately, the movie and the music sank without a trace. That movie had the duo Shankar-Ganesh as the composers, but the producer wanted IR to render one single track and hence he had composed ‘Sangathil Paadaatha Kavithai.’ in Kapi raagam, sung by IR himself and S Janaki. He told that it was composed and part of the soundtrack originally in 1982 for a Tamil movie called ‘Autoraja’.

Later that year or in 2005, IR had a similar concert in Chennai, telecasted in Jaya TV and the same composition received a great response.Īnd that’s when IR spoke to the audience about the birth of that song. Once it was released it was a rage online and people lapped up the composition as one of his great works. One such symphony I liked was a piece called ‘Mood Kapi’ (Based on the carnatic Raagam Kapi), which is available in the recoding of his concert in Italy (Album Name – Ilaiyaraja’s Music Journey). But, I do also like Ilayaraja’s (IR) songs, and his symphonies.
