Movie: Dhanam (1991-Malayalam)
Music Director: Raveendran Maash
Lyricist: PK Gopi

This a beautiful song sung by Chitra. This song takes me back to my childhood. It narrates a typical scene of a Tharavadu (traditional kerala house) which is surrounded by greenery.
Hope you all enjoy this song.

Hi Rashmi,
Nice song … and you have sung well, albeit comments below.
This is Kalyani ragam I am pretty sure … and the composer has basically ‘exercised’ the notes within this scale without any major raaga bhavam … nothing mind blowing here and the nature of the scale carries the song in sort of ‘exercise’ style!.
I downloaded the original and listened to Chitra … the tempo is tighter and ‘gamakams’ are sharper than your version.
Your singing is a bit ‘laid back’ and you can certainly improve on your ‘gamakams’ for more colour and punch.
It was pleasing on the whole and you have rendered without any major flaws … but this type of song needs a bit more ‘colour’ in rendering.
You can do more with your voice … be more adventurous is what I would say.
Best wishes and well presented.

Rashmi, I love your semi classical melodies. You handle the words beautifully. Initially ofcoz kalyani reminded me of kaatril varum geethame, later the song is lighter. Beautiful expressions, loved it. I wish I could malayalam more, cud follow vaguely.
Cheers:)

Hi Rashmi,
Just wanted to say that I do not understand Malayalam lyrics so may be I did not fully appreciate this song in that context. I think it seems to have a beautiful meaning from what I have read above, so my apologies if my previous comment was not appropriate as such.
Of course one has to appreciate the lyrics too when hearing a song … all I have commented on is the technicality of singing … your expressions may be fully justifying the lyrics and I am not able to comment on that.
In any case you have a very nice voice and have given the muziboo community many songs. Keep up the great work!.

Murali Venkatraman said
Rashmi – I do sense instability in some of the intricate note transitions which have been rightly pointed out by Aravind. But unlike him I appreciate the lyrics also since I know malayalam.
However, I do not subscribe to the composition ‘lacking’ kalyaNi raaga bhaavam. It was never the intention of Raveendran to make a song sound “heavy” by adhering to the strict grammar of the raga. His was a more subtle approach. He skimmed the surface of the raga for creating melodies and when he had to create semi-classicals he juiced the cane of raga. If this song had been loaded with all the character of kalyaaNi, it would not reach every listener.
Rashmi – the song and tone are all very nice. A little more grip is essential in the transition. example – “cheera” at 0:34 – the sangathis goes off for a fraction of a second. I see your old problem of occasional off notes creeping in which I thought u had wiped out in your recent renditions.
Kumaran said
Never heard this song before, sounded very much original to me :-) Beautiful song and equally beautifully rendered by you!!!!!! superb yaar!!!!

said
Thanks a lot Kumaran. Glad you liked it.
Murali: Thanks a lot for the feedback and pointing out the improvement opportunities. In Chitra’s renditions every word will have a slight nuance which if not captured right, can turn off-pitch. Thank you for listening and helping me improve.

Hi Rashmi, Though I don’t understand one word of what you are singing here, but my God, you sound so very nice, totally in sur and sync. Your voice is God’s gift to you, please take good care of it. Would love to hear almost anything from you. Take care and God bless.

Beautiful song and wonderfully sung, loved the mixing and your voice. Keep it up.

Hey Rashmi,I loved ur version very much:-).About the improvement areas it is all told above.Keep singing:-).
Meera Manohar
said
Rashmi:
Agree with Murali about 0.34 for instance. Brigas I thought at 4.08 could have been done better.
Very nice voice, and a nice cover but thought your other renditions, for instance Malare or the one from classmates a lot better than this.
Cheers,

Thanks a lor Surajit, Dhiraj, Meena & Meera. Glad you all loved the rendition.
Meera, thanks a lot for pointing out the improvement areas. Yep, you are right, the 0.34 & 4.08 could have been made crisper. Will concentrate to get these nuances much better in my future renditions.

Nice selection of the great Ravindran master. Overall good. few comments.
1. In the pallavi, there is a pitch out in the line kanneroppamo, and oonjalattiyukkamao….towards the end of the pallavi.
2. thekke muttathe second time, the sangathi has not come out properly.
3. Vettila nombu – there is a pitchout. and towards the end of the anupallavi also, there is pitch problem.
4. Kuttikurmbukari….on repeat…the sangathi is again not perfect.
Rashmi…I think you can practice more….that will help you to bring out the sangathis more perfectly. Sing many times….before you record them.
Warm Regards,
Murali Ram
