Kannatthil Muthamittaal is one of my favorite movies from Mani Ratnam. Needless to say that the music by A R Rahman for this movie is awesome. My favorite song from the movie is
Vellai Pookkal sung by ARR himself, but the title song is also beautiful. This song gave Chinmayee a huge break and made her name famous in the south Indian music industry. The male version was sung by
P Jayachandran, one of the finest singers of our time.
When
Sindhuja suggested that we put the male-female cover versions of this song in our blogs simultaneously, I thought it was a wonderful idea. We did the initial humming part in each other's versions too. The karaoke track was in slightly higher pitch compared to the original though. I must say I like Sindhuja's version a lot. So head over to her blog after listening to this. And do let us know your comments as usual. :-)

Here is a song which me and Divya were planning to sing for a long time. Finally we got the karaoke and here it is - Munpe Vaa from Jillunu Oru Kaadhal. I was totally blown away when I heard Divya's rendition on this because you can hardly differentiate it from the original version sung by my favorite Shreya Ghoshal. I sincerely hope she gets a good break in the music industry pretty soon which she truly deserves.
