What a disappointment!
After the excellently sung songs of Duet I was expecting the collaboration of Rahman and SPbala in this album....but it was not to be!!!!
I feel Rahman is deliberately excluding SP bala from his projects to avoid sharing the success with him!

Regarding Tenali,
SPB released it in telugu. That may be the reason behind the family scene in the film's music.

whynot,raycos,etc,etc, whatever your arguments be, facts remain the same. there is no body on earth in india to match the versatility of spb.he is a phenameno and every phenomeno has to end and so as it ended. but the successors even their combined strenght is not even near to spb. that is the tragedy affecting tfm.

Hey, the film's music is excellent. One of the best in recent times. It is better than Duet actually. Especially, Nee thaan en thesiya geetham. That is marvellous. So stop argueing and discuss about the songs. Anyway, know where to get the songs of it through realplayer download?

I don't know what u mean by SPB baiter, and I'm probably not one as I've nothing against him nor am I an ardent fan of his.
But in threads on other singers, the fans of these singers do not post ridiculous allegations against other singers, MDs, etc. Hence others don't have to jump in to set the record straight. That's probably why they don't get 'picked up' I suppose.

I think you should eat something, if you are so hungry. I have seen this chappathi Roti response from you umpteen times during the past few days.
SPB is great but then others too have to have a chance. Just because Sachin is a great batsman, he cannot bat for all eleven players

Yeah I know,Raghuvaran(@ 64.124.150.140) talks about his favourite food chappatti & rotti, he often makes me feel hungry.
any way, coming back to your statment about new singers should be given chance, of course they should be, but not to singers with bad nasal voices, like Hariharan, who sings like a dead person, through his nose, Unni krishnan has a very soft voice, often sounds nasal at high pitches, shanker who only suits fast moving songs, sounds terrible when he sings melodies, srinivas, another nasal singer, Udit Narayan & kumar sanu being a disgrace to Indian Music Industry.
we can not tolerate this anymore, SPB is the greatest ever,although he is ageing, his voice is getting younger & younger day by day, so If new singers should be given a chance, then why not SPB.charan, KJY.Vijay,M.Yugendran (M.vasudevan's son),listen to his song "thol thola", In Pandavar bhoomi, way better than the nasal singers I have mentioned.
It is a tragedy that TFM has to suffer without SPB, but we should be listening more from SPB.charan,KJY.Vijay,M.Yugendran.
That's all

Telugu Version of "PP"
SP Balu & Sadhana Sargam
'Chelia Kusalama' is another duet by our own Balu and bollywood Sadhana Sargam. It is the most melodious song of the album. The same song is inserted on the both sides of album so that people would get familiar with the song as they repeatedly listen to it. Balu has taken special care to make his voice very tender and soft.
ARR again gave only one song to SPB!!!

>>In a super flop movie SPB paadinaal enna padavittal enna....<<
If SPB had sung in any of the songs, at least that song would have been hit, take "Rasigha Rasigha", from STAR, Imagine that song without SPB, impossible, it is SPB who gave life to the dead songs (rasigha & manasukul oru kizhe maiyam kondathae), just listen to this guy's voice, as youthful & fresh as ever, if you do not know the age of SPB, & do not know he is 55, you would assume the singer's age is 25, from the voice!!!

I am both ARR, IR, MSV, KVM,SPB,KJY fan, but one thing I have noticed is ARR's music expectations are very very high, when these standards are not met, people seems to bash him, come on no MD can give super hit movies all the times, take IR's Andaladimai, that is also a super flop, but when ever ARR movie is a super flop, big deal is made out of it.

The Hindu,
At a time when Tamil film music has developed its most pronounced Western chord, and singers have a trained twang, S.P. Balasubramaniam still stresses on diction and emotion. After 35 years as the Best Playback Singer, the philanthropist singer wants to hold a full-fledged Carnatic music concert. `The Voice' speaks to Feroze Ahmed. HE ALMOST didn't sing for `Sankara Bharanam'. Not trained in Carnatic music, an apprehensive SPB had asked the music director K.V. Mahadevan to pick someone else. ``The character in the film was a personification of classical music. If something went wrong, people would have blamed me.'' But Pugazhenthi, the assistant music director, was adamant.
He felt there was lot of drama to be performed in the songs and only SPB could deliver. ``I took a lot of effort for the film. Time and luck were on my side.'' He won his first National Award for Best Playback Singer for the film in 1979. It almost turned out to be a curse. ``After `Sankara Bharanam' everyone thought I could sing any song, but it was not so. There were many occasions where I could not do justice to the songs.'' For someone who sings classical in films - ``actually light or semi classical'' - like he was born for it, SPB does not consider himself an exponent of Carnatic music.
He's not ready for a full- fledged concert yet, he says. ``If I seriously concentrate for a year or two I will be able to do a stage concert. I have to religiously train at least three days a week. Though not as busy as earlier, I am finding it very difficult to find time.'' His call-sheets may not be cluttered anymore, but the SPB of the future will be sitting cross-legged on stage. ``There are no second thoughts about it... I will definitely hold a Carnatic concert.'' ``But you can't learn just three or four keertanas and hold a concert. You should be able to innovate and that should be the capacity of the singer on stage.
My intention is to be a regular singer like anyone else.'' That, from someone who's won six National Awards and the Padma Shri this year. From a singer whose repertoire ranges from Indian folk to Western, Carnatic to Hindustani. His 1995 National Award was for a Kannada film, `Gaana Yogi Panchashari Gavai' (GYPG), with a classical Hindustani base. ``I sang four songs in GYPG of which two - `Umang Gumand' and `Gaana Vidhya Bahut Katin Hai' - were really `katin' for me. The songs were in the Gharana of Dharwad style. I took six months running away from the film.'' He had about 15 years in the industry and a reputation for his soulful renditions when he was called to `audition' for `Ek Duje Ke Liye', which fetched him his second National Award in 1981. ``The composers, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, were not comfortable with me to start with.
But Balachander explained that the character portrayed by Kamal Hassan comes from the South and does not speak Hindi well. I knew the movie would be a success but never thought it would fetch me a National Award. Actually, I was surprised I didn't get a Filmfare Award for it. Kishoreji got it that year.''
Though not a keen awards gatherer, who preferred taking things as they came, he had his share of disappointments. ``The only time I was very sure of an award and didn't get it was for `Annamaya', a Telugu movie.'' It still rankles him strong.
Was he surprised by `Minsara Kanavu', his last National Award in 1996? ``I was surprised. I was surprised. Because my most favourite song in the film was `Vennilave Vennilave'. During the recording the music composer A.R. Rahman and director Rajiv Menon were insistent on a lazy crooning style like you just got up from bed. A labouriously lazy way of singing. It was not easy and I took quite some time to get into the groove for the song.'' The one sore note in his 35-year career comes from `Mayuri'.
SPB had done the score for the original Telugu film. The Hindi version was done by Laxmikant-Pyarelal but the title song, which won the Swami Haridas Award for Best Classical Song, was recorded by SPB. ``As its composer, I should have taken the award but L-P took the award.'' SPB has scored music for more than 50 films despite a ``lack of formal training''. But he had a simple technique: ``I would sing the songs and my assistants would write the notations. I had excellent assistants.'' But the present day music scene is not for him. ``I won't fit into it. I don't have any knowledge of Western music. My strains will be more on Hindustani or Classical mix. It should have beautiful situations and poignant lyrics. That is my definition of a film song.'' He never tried to become a singer, never dreamt of becoming one. ``I was a thin, tiny lad and my voice had just attained puberty then (late 60s). It just happened. When I go back 20-25 years I don't know how I could give such beautiful dimensions to my songs. I still wonder... I don't have the answers.''
DH News Service, August 28, 2001
Noted playback singer Dr S P Balasubramaniam today said the love and affection shown to him by people of Karnataka was unparalleled, which no other state had given him since the last 35-years as a film playback singer. Speaking after receiving the annual ‘Sangeeta Ganga’ award for his contribution to music, particularly Kannada, at a function organised by Sangeetha Ganga organisation here, Dr Balasubramaniam said that the affection given to him by Kannadigas was extraordinary, much to the applause of the large gathering. Dr Balasubramaniam, who was presented the award, a memento and Rs 5000 by Minister of State for Kannada and Culture Rani Satish, said that the award presented to him was more prestigious than several other awards presented to him. As a goodwill gesture, he returned the award, besides the cash prize of Rs 5,000 to the ‘Sangeetha Ganga’ association for encouraging young artistes.JD (U) leader P G R Sindhia, who released a cassette ‘Vishwamathe’ in memory of late G V Athri , said Dr Balasubramaniam’s popularity extended beyond the country’s borders. Karnataka Sangeetha Nrithya Academy chairperson H R Leelavathi, Mr K C Ramamurthy, director, Department of Kannada and Culture, Lyricist R N Jayagopal also spoke. Noted music director Vijaybhaskar was among those present. Dr Balasubramiam sang some popular tracks of Kannada films on the occasion.
