Every Tamil movie fan must have heard of veteran filmmaker cum actor K Bhagiyaraj. He has had a successful record and his next venture Siddu Plus Two First Attempt (SPTFA) is quite promising as well. He has also been known for giving huge musical hits and this time he has teamed up with music composer Dharan. They have already worked before in ‘Parijatham’ needless to say, movie has some wonderful music.

SPTFA has Santhanu Bhagiyaraj and Chandni in lead roles. Aspects like direction, story, dialogues and screenplay have been handled by Bhagiyaraj himself. The album has total 6 songs out of which 4 has been composed by Dharan whereas Thaman and Babu Shankar has composed one each. The album is quite interesting and offers a variety of music.

The album begins with ‘Poove Poove’ that has been rendered by famous music composer Yuvan and Chinmayee. This song is best suited for taste of youngsters with its mild beats and catchy melody. ‘Poove Poove (Remix)’ is the next number rendered by Yuvan again. Quite appealing, this song has potential to lure youngsters in a big way.

Singers, Haricharan, ‘Ganja’ Karuppu, C A Raja and Maniyan have crooned next song ‘Kelu…Kelu’. A soft song with elements of humor in it. I must say, it’s an interesting experiment. Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar and Naveen have sung next song called ‘Gundu Chattikkule’. A typical youth song, this might prove to be a huge hit in coming time.

‘Money Money’ sung by Benny Dayal and Reshmi is the next song. A perfect song for discotheques, it has racy beats and peppy music. The last song of the album is ‘Naan Aalana Thamarai’ rendered by Venkat Prabhu, Suchitra and Srimathumitha. This one is a fast number and can be pick of the album. Song is quite energetic. To sum up, music of SPTFA offers variety and variation.

A recipient of many awards, Deva has got a large fan following. His first came in 1990 when he won Tamil Nadu State Film Award. Thereafter he has won Tamil Nadu Government’s Kalaimamani Award and several other awards from popular journals.  

Deva had struggled to make his mark in film industry. During his initial days, he worked in the Television field. He belonged to a family of musicians. Even his brothers were working in the musical troupes of Illayaraja and other music directors as instrumentalists. But Deva took his own sweet time to develop his skills and wanted to make his mark in an individual capacity. But the struggling period was long. Even the initial music assignments received by him did not materialize and films had to be shelved. Finally, all his hard work came to fruition when he signed his first movie, Manasukkeththa Maharaasaa. This movie was followed by Vaikaasi Poranthaachu and this movie turned his life forever. Its songs were huge hits and thereafter he never looked back. Deva has also dabbled into other regional movies and proved to be a huge hit.

Music can take you to a different world. For Tamil music lovers, despite the arrival of many new forms of music, songs by these two maestros are given first preference. Their music has no bounds. It is being said that music is a healer and from that perspective, perhaps Ilayaraja and A R Rahman have remained the greatest healers. Their fan following has kept increasing and the appetite of the fans show no signs of fatigue. To their credit, they have composed music for films as well as numerous charities. There are several other music composers in Tamil music industry like Yuvan Shankar Raja, Harris Jayaraj, Vishal Shekhar, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Ismail Darbar and Deva etc but none of them could really beat them as far as popularity is concerned. We will talk about these maestros in separate articles.

The song ‘Poovukul’ has been sung by talented duo of Unnikrishnan and Sujatha. The incomparable A R Rehman has composed music for this song from the movie Jeans. This song also showcases erstwhile Seven Wonders of the World. Ennavo Ennavo is a famous tamil song from movie Priyamanavale and has been sung by Hariharan and Harini. The song represents complete intensity and love. Composed by S.A Raajakumar, this song makes you fall in love with tamil melody songs.

Sung by Madhubalakrishnan, song Kaana Kandenadi became quite popular amongst music lovers. In fact, because of this song, the movie Paarthiban Kanavu became a huge hit.

Other popular Tamil melody songs are Snehithane Snehithane, Malargale Malargale, Ennavale Adi Ennavale, Kanmani Anbodu, Rosaapoo Chinna Rossapoo, and Vennilave Vennilave etc to name a few. The quality of these songs will make sure that Tamil film industry will keep giving us wonderful melody songs.
