There are some movies, wherein IR uses one raga in more than one song, often to convey more than one emotion (sometimes contrasting emotions like happy & pathos). Here are some i can recollect...
I) Raga Sivaranjani - Movie: En Raasavin Manasile
song 1: Pen manasu Aazhamunnu
song 2: Kuyil paatu oh (happy & sad)
II) Raga sindhubhairavi - Movie: Ejaman
song 1: Oru naalum unai maravaadha
song 2: Nilave mugam kaatu
III) Raga Revathi - Movie: Kadhal Oviyam
Song 1: Amma Azhage
Song 2: Sangeedha jaadhi mullai
V) Raga Natabhairavi - Movie: Nayagan
Song 1: Andhi mazhai megam
Song 2: Thenpandi seemaiyile
V) Raga Sarasangi - Movie: Periya veetu pannakkaaran
Song 1: Muthu Muthu medai pottu
Song 2: Malligaiye Malligaiye
Good observation Vel.
ReplyDeleteHas IR used one raga for all songs in a film?

3 songs in gowri manohari ragam.
all 3 sound different and terrific at the same time.
one as lullaby, one is so sensuous and the last one is a teaser.
