Soul Stirring Music

Ilayaraja is an all time great. Till now, i have not been able to move away from his tunes of the 80s' to any other form of music. I was getting bored on this Sunday afternoon and was browsing you tube for his evergreen movie Back Ground Music(BGMs). I happened to listen to the BGM of the movie Idayam. I have seen the movie many times. And one more time, it just transported me to a different world. A soul stirring & a divine experience. The movie was released sometime in 1992 when i was in my graduation and i still remember my friend talking about the movie for nearly 2 weeks after he had seen it in the Devi complex. I happened to see it in the Kumaran Theatre in Madipakkam along with 2 of my cousins. This was a movie which embraced me like a breeze. I would say that 90% of this effect was made possible only because of the Maestro's BGM. Added to it is the Spelendid Picturization and a perfect screen play!!!. It remains one of my best movies till now. I dont think i have seen or heard about any tamil movie till now that narrates romance in such an impressive way, between a man and a woman using the language of music. I have seen the movie many times now in the cable channels. Just hear to the BGM on a quiet afternoon. The BGM brings in a state of peace in me. I can feel my nerves calming down. I truly believe that music can cure diseases and am certain that Raja is one of the pioneers in this field of medicine.
