This is a classic Ghazal from Pakistani film Doraha(1967) and this particular song was composed by Ghazal Maestro Mehdi Hassan. The tune, structure sounds very familiar to me and upon repeated measured listening started singing ore naal... unnai naan.. incidentally. I thought it could be based on a similar raaga which I am a zippo for such comparisons. What caught my attention is that there are lots of allegation Shivaji's track "Sahana Saaral thoovudhu" to this could also be inspired and based on similar raaga. To my surprise the picturization of Shivaji's braggart version also has a striking similarity in terms of picturization, sets, serial lights, Piano, geometrical shapes of Glass frames, Grill designs, crystals, jewelleries luckybamboo, greeneries but Shreya, duet, chorus dance totally dismisses those similarities . ARR's piano interlude & alaaps. CHESS Board and Coins :)
I have checked Ore naal picturization also if you give a close look camera focus steadily on roof lights, grill designs, restaurant table, geometrical shapes like rectangle glass frames, circle nila/sun rays, triangular beach stands, tall posted lamps Atleast to me....
Fine, Irrespective of those similarities exist or not I am glad to find this awesome sountrack Doraha composed by Suhail Rana and get to know more about Ghazals - Mehdi Hassan & other counterparts. Check this song ...

Congratulations MR. A R Rahman! clap clap. Congratulations for also winning GG & BAFTA. You certainly made all INDIANS particularly all tamilans proud!I really want to dedicate a very long appreciation post for all your extraordinary contribution to the Musical World but regret to inform you that I was totally distracted have to scrap the whole post "even your love over hate speech was twisted and bad-mouthed" and I am forced to believe that its impractical for any of your fans to embrace loveism over hate & all those school of thoughts. Please read the following article (better not I wish you remain the same lovable person ever for what others admire more than your music) This article is just a sample by a renowned writer completely discarded you and your entire discography as a "packaged marketing of catchy jingles" to and the demesne of bandwidth-bashing happening on the online world is highly disgustful and intolerable from what I know/followed all your works personally. But I tried to equate my actual intent in this post
Mr. Sadanand Menon, On behalf of all million/billion AR fans I would like to award you as a certified crackpot for the factual errors, copy-pasting wiki contents in your disdained article "Jingle-Jangle Morning" (btw, what does it mean?) published haphazardly by Outlook India. Wait! I am not insisting anyone on a throttled warning to waste an outlook id and spifflicate all of his other restricted pennings . He went on to extortionate ahead of all raja's extremist and decreed "Attack ..... bcoz Rahman got Oscars".
1. The story starts like this
Comparisons are odious. But in south India—and in Chennai at least you can’t duck the over 15-year-long debate on the comparative ‘genius’ of A.R. Rahman and his musical senior by twenty-three years, Ilaiyaraaja.
@#@#$&! IR made his debut in Annakili (1976) & ARR Roja in (1992) thats clearly copy-pasted. Its 16years you old diarist. Are you that poor in calculating the years itself. 23 years? on what count! 8 years scooped up.
2.For almost 10 years, Rahman continued to perform for Ilaiyaraaja, before Mani Ratnam handed him the baton for Roja (1992). And the rest, as they say, is history
Just curious! who is your history teacher or does "they" ever exist? From where did you embroil this piece of information and I would also like to know from which Rajas history book you find "he absorbed the barely 15-year-old Rahman as a keyboard player in his orchestra" You mean to say that ARR was in IR's troupe for 10 left over year behind bushes. It was Rajiv Menon who referred ARR to MR thru his ad jingles and not by any of IR' compositions or by a group photo. MR handed the baton for Roja :rotfl:
Sourgrapes! Oru madham pudicha yaanaiya sothula maraikka mudiyumanna mudiyumnu nirubichirukkaangha. I will explain this story
Mr. Ramalinga Raju after establishing himself in the IT corporate world banged on to enroll CSC@gooduvaancheri branch vijayadasami scholarship offer for what just to affix a "GUI" certificate to his portfolio and its not RR actually an ardent devotee named rajaroll shamefully went on to publicize this monthly topper award in his website raajangam.com for open-ended years. Notably, others who have learned their craft and appeared for examination are renowned musicians like L Shankar, L Subramaniyam, etc… And another 1 in a 10000 student Mr. Harris Jeyaraj presented prestigious Trinity College of Music - LONDON 2007 awards MSV award - Ilayaraja award to all those students and teachers . Then you can imagine the authenicity of this Mountroad shop and how chicaned this honour was.
What certainly crimsoned Menon's mind or any other vavutherical parties are that there was also an another average/drop out student from the same branch egressed like a whiz kid, ramped up his own studio/platform, composed 200+ jingles reconstructed the movie songs & strategy and revolutionized the whole musical world with a debut album named Roja (1992). That was just a beginning.. What so awe-inspiring about this ne'er die phoenix is that he winged up to prove the whole macrocosm (person by person…territory by territory..)that he is the incontestable world-beater of global Music. Now you know what both IT & Hollywood global giants Apple, Warner Bros are queued up in front of his Panchatham Studio @ Chennai to get a nod from ARR. Chennai Cheers!
What do you call this Mr. Menon - qualification/cheap publicity/sheer talent,expertise or adeptness.
4. Where he makes a departure is in the polyphonic interludes. A typical example would be his amazing foot-tapper, ‘Rakkamma, Kaiyye Thattu...’ (Thalapathi, 1991), in which he moves with panache from a swiftly orchestrated popular folk tune to a serene, quiet solo classical with a deft, magical interlude of hummed bars.
evvalavu periya kandupudippu paarthiya. If someone who haven’t listened to any of ARR songs other than jingles nor bothered to check any of his album technicality/credit details or instead an online review what am I supposed to say! With the wide range of genres AR have composed every ARR song will shine out of such inane comparisons. rukkumani…thee thee, Kannalane, vande mataram till Rehna Tu.. Have you ever heard Bombay Theme - Is that also a "packaged marketing of catchy jingles"
