Sivaranjiniyum Innum Sila Pengalum

 In the movie "sivaranjiniyum innum sila pengalum (SISP)", Raaja sir has does again what he did in "unnal mudiyum thambi" where a song of raagam lalitha was scored as heroine name was Lalitha. 

In this Vasanth movie (SISP), there are 3 characters of names saraswathi, devaki and sivaranjini - In this first clip, the character name is saraswathi. Raaja sir has used raaga saraswathi for composing the BGM  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PxOU-MuXXY 0.59 to 1:33 raaga saraswathi usage ....For the last story of the anthology, involving the character Sivaranjini, check 3:14 to 3:38 of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPS7yxcaBBA for sivaranjini usage.

கதாபாத்திரத்தின் பெயருக்கு உரிய ராகத்தை பிரயோகம் செய்தது அல்ல விஷயம். அந்த ராகத்தை எடுத்து அதை அந்த கதாபாத்திரத்தின் சூழ்நிலைக்கும் கதைக்கும் பொருந்துமாறு உபயோகப்படுத்தியது தான் இங்கே கவனிக்க வேண்டிய விஷயம்.

Its not just a fleeting use of raga just because the film's character has this name. But its about raaja sir's ability to bend a raga to suit the mood and flavour of the movie, the characters and the situation of the characters.

Take a bow Maestro !

Too bad vasanth didnt give a right raaga name to the middle story - its character is called devaki. அப்படி ஒரு ராகம் இருந்தா , அதையும் ராஜா சார் வாசிச்சு இருப்பார்
