A quiz on Ludes of Illayaraja. Guess the songs. To make it easier or rather tougher (based on how seriously one follows Illayaraja’s music), all the songs are from movies released on or after year 2001.

Next time, please give us tougher questions with shorter clues :)
CRV - Great. Ellamae Correct. Idea of posting this is not just to quiz, but also to give a new experience of listening all ludes from a song as single instrumental piece...
1. Heard this before. But forgot
2.Bate hawaan - cheeni kum
3. No idea boss.May be ajantha (?)
4. No idea again.Karakattakari ?
5.No idea again. Didn't like it .
6.My favourite , esp the second interlude and the charanam . Ketkavillaya !
7.May be kodi yethi vaipom from Pithamagan
8. Solla Marantha kathai (adi athulla)
9.Twinkle twinkle little star . Forgot the song name.
10.No idea. These kind og flute interludes are so many that i fast forward the minute i hear.
Most of them when individually heared , is superb. Not sure how i missed it out !
Suresh , you made me thnk abt something . Some four years ago , i used to listen a song some 100 times just for a particular interlude . Somehow i was not doing that now .Perhaps the way we listen has changed with the kind of music dished out now . (or) the number of times i have heard raaja after 2001 has come down.
Ramki - Answers for 1,2 and 7 are correct. I am glad that this post has raised some questions about our approach to Raaja's music these days. And you are not alone. Even if I were asked to answer such a quiz one month before, I would have got only 1 or 2 right...
1. Adhu Oru Kanakkalam - Muthathilae
2. Cheeni Kum – Baatein hawa
3.
4. Kaadhal Saaadhi – manase en manase
5. TTLS may be – I haven’t heard that album so can’t say for sure but if I have to make a wild guess, will make this guess because this lude reminds me of Aalipazham perukkan, which was for children similar to TTLS.
6. This sounds similar to GURU(Malayalam) so maybe Music Messiah? If not, this would be one of Satyan Anthikkad movies – the latter part is clearly a spin-off on Achvinte Amma title
7. Kodi Ethi vaippom – easy one, especially given your pithamagan fixation:-0
8. Vidhu Prathapan – Solla Marandha Kadhai – Kaathula Thalai aattum – that’s the order in which I remembered this song
9.
10. This is a Jayaram movie I think. Melleyonnu Paadinu oru paatu varum….ah yes, Thanga Thingal Vaanil Ozhugum
So, IR-Gold star edhavadhu kidaikkuma?
I think there is a pattern to these. Apdiye oru Western Ghats-la Sheep and Goat meyura parandha Green fields in the backdrop of mountain thonudhilla for most of them . Exception, Cheeni kum.
Suresh, I would have got all 6 I got right even 1 year back. Most of them are my favourites too. Just goes to show what people who talk about IR's demise are missing...
Raj - Yes, definitely those who think IR is not as good as before are missing quite a lot.
Well done. Answers for 1, 2, 4, 7 and 8 are correct. And none of the interludes are from Malayalam songs. May be IR used these pieces in some of the Malayalam songs too, which I am not sure. I am yet to explore IR's malayalam soundtracks....
oh! 10 is not what I guessed!
I swear that song has almost similar ludes.
I will listen again to 5 & 6. Seem very familiar
Idhula recent releases edhavadhu irukka? I havent listend to Dhanam, Uli osai etc
Raj - Answer for your last line,
NO.
Hope you enjoy Raja's video
