Madras is the soundtrack album of the 2014 Tamil drama film of the same name written and directed by Pa. Ranjith and produced by Studio Green. Santhosh Narayanan composed the soundtrack album and background score for the film. The album consists of seven tracks with five songs and two themes. While Gana Bala penned the lyrics for the two songs sung by him, the remaining three were penned by Kabilan and Umadevi.[1] The soundtrack album was released on 27 June 2014.[2]
Santhosh Narayanan composed the soundtrack and background score. He elaborated that the re-recording of the songs and the background music would be a major highlight in the film, going on to say that "Kakidha Kappal" and "Aagayam Theepidicha" would surely win the hearts of listeners.[3] The "Suvar theme" and the "Kaali Love theme" were performed by The Studio Orchestra of Sydney featuring Pradeep Kumar on the acoustic guitar. It was confirmed by sources that Karthi wouldn't be singing in the film like his previous outing, Biriyani (2013) and that Shakthisree Gopalan had recorded a melody track in the album.[4] The soundtrack album and its marketing rights were purchased by Think Music.[5] The film's soundtrack was released at Taj Coromandel, Chennai on 27 June 2014. Suriya, Sivakumar and the film's cast and crew attended the audio launch event.[1] Gana Bala performed on stage during the audio launch.[6]
Anyway, coming back to the old Devdas, the songs are all great. But one of the reasons why Balam Aye is stuck in my head is because its tune was copied faithfully for the Kalki Krishnamurthy song Poonkuil Koovum Pooncholaiyil Oru Naal! You can hear DK Pattammal sing it in this youtube clip where SS Mani plays the gramophone disc with the song. I wonder when Kalki composed it, though I am quite certain that his song followed the Hindi original. After all, Pattammal began recording only in 1938 or thereabouts.
It is not a song about Madras, but is about the essential qualities of the city. There is an interesting line that describes the Cooum and how the river was reduced to a marshland over the years. While there was a tendency to romanticise Madras in movies and songs, this particular line painted a different picture about the city.
And it is in that way that the gujili paatu can be called the predecessor of the modern gaana , feels Nivedita. While the songs eventually faded away with the British ban, and the advent of newspapers and magazines, their spirit lives on in gaana music.

3. Madras nalla madras (Anubavi Raja Anubavi, 1967): Or, a city through a villager's eyes. It's hilarious to imagine a time when someone could walk on the roads without the driver of the car behind him hurling the choices of abuses. It's funnier to see Chennai, generally regarded as the least hip of our metros, coming off like Singapore.
5. Kaatrukenna veli (Avargal, 1977): In old songs, I love catching old movie posters (Mogam Muppathu Varusham, playing at Chitra, Srikrishna, Bhuvaneswari, Krishnaveni). I love, even more, to be reminded of the banners opposite Safire theatre (Oorukku Uzhaippavan). Part of the fun of bus travel on Mount Road was the anticipation of whether a new film's banner would be up. Simpler times.

With the commercialization of festivities sliding into the degeneration more and more with time, some people are approaching legal authorities to save their religious and cultural beliefs and traditions. Such is a case of B. Ramkumar Adityan who approached the Madurai bench of Madras High Court to seek prohibition orders on vulgar songs and dances at Dussehra celebrations.
The order was issued on a public interest litigation (PIL) that urged the court to direct the police to secure undertakings from all Dasara organisers, sound and music system suppliers, dance performers etc., stating that they will only play devotional songs and not Kuthu Pattu (dance numbers).
Do yourself a favour by listening to all the songs from 'Vada Chennai', which was shot right in North Chennai as the name of the film suggests. From the lyrics to each frame of the movie, everything is just about Madras and you will find yourself mesmerised by Santhosh Narayanan's amazing music.
Though the song released towards the end of 2017, it is still etched in the minds of people and here's the reason. It stands out from the other Madras-y songs in the list with its striking and meaningful lyrics penned by Viveka which highlight the prejudice against dusky people. Anirudh's lively music complements the lyrics and the result is an unforgettable Madras song.
Rahmaniacs will regret the jettisoning of half a dozen solid tunes from the original. (Three songs have been added.) Hardened Broadway regulars may find the show splashy but naive. Still, anyone with half an ear will hear the most vibrant, varied new score in ages. They will leave Bombay Dreams humming Rahman's songs and singing his praises. Broadway, meet Bollywood. --R.C.
