Hidden Gem of 2009 ?

Movie Ruslaan was released in Sept 2009, and it went unnoticed, rightfully so. The music of Ruslaan is good and it deserved attention from the listeners.

Music for Ruslaan is composed by Raess Jamal Khan. I believe this is his maiden venture as a music director, and he makes a great debut as a composer.

Maula Maula is the one song i liked the most. When you hear it for the first time you will think Mithoon has composed the song. Master Saleem has sung it beautifully, hitting the right notes.

Listen to the song and share your thoughts.

Regional Film Songs – National award winners

2009 September 11

These are memorable songs from Tamil, Telugu & Kannada, which have won National award. It is just a pity that these songs do not get noticed as much as BW songs.

Let me begin with “Naadamaya” from Jeevan Chaitra by Late Legendary Kannada Superstar Dr Rajkumar. He was a true superstar who was blessed with a beautiful voice along with unmatched acting talents. He sung most of his songs(for movies). Visuals are not great in the song, just listen to the singing even if you do not understand the lyrics.

This Song won the National award in 1993.

Now that i have got my ‘favorite’ out of the way, i will list rest of them in chronological order (years missing indicates non regional movie song won the award).
