Paatu Solli - Sadhana Sargam

Sadhana Sargam, one of the top singers of Bollywood, started singing in Tamil industry for ARR to begin with. From then on she has been a singer quite familiar in Tamil music industry.

There is a general complaint from tamil folks that the pronunciation of Tamil words by Bollywood singers is horrible in tamil songs...Well...its debatable when there are many tamil folks themselves who can do better in their pronunciation of "Zha" sound!

The effort Sadhana Sargam has made to sing this song in Tamil, is appreciable.

I have consciously sung the song with proper pronunciations....not copying Sadhana Sargam's in her rendition for Ilayaraja from the movie Azhagi.


Song: Paatu Solli
Singer: Sadhana Sargam
Movie: Azhagi


Enjoy listening and your feedback keeps me going...

Paakathe Paakathe - Minmini

Minmini became overnight popular singer with "Chinna Chinna Aasai" song in Roja (Dil hai chotta sa song in Hindi).

I have sung a less popular song of hers from the movie "Gentleman".This was a very easy song to render.

Inspired by Vishal's rendition of Bhool Ja, where Vishal has done a wonderful job by taking pains to record the chorus lines in multiple tracks and in different pitches, I wanted to try something similar.

But I did not take so much pain to record in different pitch in this song...just used a separate track with "Chorus Effect" in the software, along with my main track rendition.

Appreciate your feedback (good and bad) to improvise in the next rendition..

Song: Paakathe Paakathe
Movie: Gentleman
Originally sung by: Minmini
