raja's ragatalamalika

raja has done a few numbers in ragatalamalika. this one from devi sridevi is a classic example.

it is a hilarious situation where 2 or 3 heroes imagine singing with the heroine. just as 'inru poi nalai vaa'. but raja has used 4 ragas starting with abheri with 4 rhythm patterns. the other ragas i remember are shankarabharanam and kapi. mahalakshmi the heroine had a beautiful face inherited from her good looking parents avmrajan and pushpalatha.

my favourite line is 'my name is django, ellarum vaango'. this movie also has the song 'vaalibam vaazhga vaiyagam vaazhga'

also in 'karavai maadu 3 kalai madu' in magalir mattum. i right now dont remember the ragas, urvasi sings in anandabhairavi.

but in 'siriya paravai siragai virikka nenaikiradhe', he has used only charukesi but in 3 different styles. it can be termed style malika!!
