Paathiramazha Etho

A melancholic number from Ouseppachan. Originally rendered flawlessly by Yesudas and Chitra in their own versions, this one is an audacious attempt.

Beautiful- Mazhaneer thullikal...

Dear friends, I sing a song.. a "Beautiful" song... just for horror!! This the the melody "Mazhaneer thullikal..." from the film Beautiful.  The song has great lyrics ( by Anoop Menon, also one of the protagonists) and saw Unni Menon making his presence felt after a short gap. 

The movie has a fresh, honest and unpretentious air to it, which makes it appealing. Played with subtlety and intelligence by its stars, the film has a positive energy, considering that we would expect a lot of emotional trauma from such a subject.  

The song ‘Mazhaneer thullikal’ from this film is sure to reverberate in our ears for a long, long time.  Here's my version..the perfect song for the monsoon
Mazhaneer Thullikal..

Movie Name: Beautiful (2011) | Original Singer(s): Unni Menon, Thulasi Yatheendran
Music Director: Ratheesh Vegha | Lyrics: Anoop Menon

Pranayam- Paattil ee Paattil...

Vishu Release from me, this... :-) This song was one of the highlights of Blessy's film "Pranayam", a soulful film which had a good story to tell. M Jayachandran came up with wonderful orchestration for this song penned by ONV. The song is a gentle sea breeze. Shreya Ghoshal rendered the female version of this song and P Jayachandran the male version.

Here's my pale version:
Paattil ee Paattil..

Movie Name: Pranayam (2011) | Original Singer: Shreya Ghoshal, P Jayachandran | Music Director: M Jayachandran | Lyrics: ONV Kurup

The original song can be found here (as in film): You Tube

If you want to hum along, here're the lyrics:

Paattil ee paattil iniyum nee unarille
oru rappadi padum... eenam kettathille
panineer pookkal choodi ee raavorungiyille
ennenjiloorum ee pattil iniyum nee unarille

saagaram maarilettum kathiron veenerinju
kathare ninte nenjil eriyum sooryanaaro
kadalala thudu niramaarnnu nin kavililum arunima poothuvo
pranayamorasulabha madhuramaam.... nirvrithi
Ozhukum Pattil ee pattil iniyum nee unarille

aayiram ponmayooram kadalil nrithamaadum
aayiram jwalayayi kathiron koodeyaadum
pakaloli iravine velkkumee mukilukal paravakal vazhthidum
pranayamorasulabha madhuramaam.... nirvrithi
kulirin koottil ee koottil iniyum naam anayille
oru rappadi padum... eenam kettathille
panineer pookkal choodi ee raavorungiyille


As usual, suggestions & comments awaited.
