Vairamuthu hence did not have a part to play in Raaja’s prolific rise. If one is to however take only the years 1980-1986, Ilayaraaja had already composed his 100 th film, Moodupani by the time Vairamuthu entered with Nizhalgal and was the established numer uno in Tamil. But however, it does provide an input into mass popularity accurately.Ĭoming to the point, a hit number of 198 out of possibly 2,500+ hit songs is a miniscule 7-8%. So objectivity to this extent is overrated. It does not take into account quality of the songs that went unnoticed. This combination worked in less than 350 out of Raaja’s 5000 songs and has an overall hit number of 198 to be precise (from r_inba’s extensive knowledge of IR’s hit ratio from the 1980s). One may access it through r_inba’s twitter page linked above. r_inba has worked an extensive analysis of all the songs created by the Vairamuthu – Ilayaraaja combination and discussed every hit song objectively in a much deeper analysis in an Ilayaraaja forum. However, this was a combination that did not last very long. The list of Vairamuthu – Ilayaraaja I have as a playlist:Īs you will see, all are classic songs and out of those, 45+ are all-time hits. This is a list with 50 songs, which I list below (would take the same few hours to listen to every song again. Most definitely a superhit combination and one does stand awed at the range of genres handled by the two.Īnother prolific combination, which in its heydays for 6 years, quite dominated but did not monopolize Tamil Film Music: If I were to list every hit of this combination, it would take me a 600+ songs playlist. And for most of the films, Vaali would have written all the songs like Bhadrakali (where Kettele Ange was the bigger chartbuster), Ilamai Oonjalaadugiradhu, Azhage Unnai Aradhikkiren, Thoongadhe Thambi Thoongadhe, Sagakalavallavan, Mouna Ragam, Agni Nakshatram, Aboorva Sagodharargal,Thalapathi, Thevar Magan where almost every song was a superhit and I have not included songs from other chartbuster albums from Chittukuruvi onwards for the case of brevity. The Vaali – IR playlist that I have is listed:Īs you can see from the listed 52 songs (a few of the not-so-popular ones are my all-time favorites), 45+ are all time classics.

These songs are for leisurely listening pleasure, for every playlist I intend to share runs into a few hours. A blog post would be insufficient to list and discuss the pros and cons of every single song and I guess the reader understands this obvious caveat and the bird’s eye view stats I provide should suffice as you shall see. However, these can offer a fine bird’s eye view of a track record over the years. A disclaimer I wish to enter here (and this holds to every lyricist I am going to list) is that the playlists I share here are by no means exhaustive in an oeuvre of thousands of songs. This was a playlist of 52 songs I did of Vaali’s with IR. Their combination began with Bhadrakali in 1976 and they have worked all the way to a yet-to-be-released film on Ramanujacharya. Vaali has written more than 1000 songs for Raaja, this being the most prolific association for Ilayaraaja as far as lyric-music goes. So to pin a person with such a career record down to any one lyricist (who is limited to the language he writes) is questionable.īut having said this is an objective analysis, I intend not to stop with such a superficial statement.

He was the commercial numer uno in Telugu in the 80s, was briefly a commercial star in Malayalam and Kannada in the early 80s and a commercial colossus in Tamil through the late 70s down to the early 90s. That aside, he has composed music for about 180 films in other languages (roughly 80 in Telugu, 55 in Malayalam 25 odd in Kannada and not more than 15 in Hindi and 2 in Marathi). This is a humongous achievement in itself. Raaja has composed close to 5,000 songs in roughly 950 movies, mostly all by himself (he has worked with MSV on occasions). I’m just trying to put all of that to test. Some of the popularly held beliefs in this topic include, “Raaja owed much of his success in the 80s to his partnership with Vairamuthu”, “Raaja’s humongous successes are with Vairamuthu and Vaali”, “Vaali and Vairamuthu have written the maximum songs for Raaja”. I shall try to be as objective as possible. You may consider this to be one such attempt. A prominent exercise involves trying to putting into perspective Raaja’s music with the various lyricists. Recently, I made a playlist on youtube of Gangai Amaran written – Ilayaraaja composed songs.
