Thathithom (Azhagan cover)-K.S.Chitra

Thathithom (Azhagan cover)-... Lyrics & Chords

This is considered one of Chitra’s anthems and definitely one of the most challenging numbers she has done, EVER! Amazing, absolutely brilliant composition by Maragathamani (aka Keeravani/M M Kreem). Lovely lyrics as well by Valee. The beauty of the song is the almost minimal/non-existent orchestration and her voice just filling the ears……

Here’s my humble attempt at it. It was a total monster roller coaster ride for me :)

Movie: Azhagan
Originally sung by: K.S.Chitra
Original music by: Maragathamani
Lyrics: Valee
Lead, harmonies and mix: Meera Manohar

Wow – what a tough song! Meera – your voice is in super flexible form – your last couple of uploads are in a totally different level altogether!
Liked the way the swarams progressed – interesting transition to western with the last dha…

Uthra said

Meera: Was waiting for this one. Nicely done and amazing breath control even in the swarams – very nice. The keyboard bits in the track (lazy pitch bend effect??) were a little distracting but you have managed well with that track. Swarams – you have done well. Some places like sa ni da pa ma…would have been nice if it was a little more crisp without the stretch @ da pa ma….for e.g.?

This song has been on my wishlist too:) Very neatly done! I felt the harmonies were distracting a bit and the end a little shaky but other than that, it sounded great!
Kudos for attempting it:)

hi Meera

Glad to be here again, in your space after a long time.

beautiful selection. very nice rendering. unusual off notes here and there , especially in the swaram section. usually u give good modulations and dynamics, but those missing in here unfortunately. totally a very good cover of this tough song, but not your best.
Liked.

Hi Meera……

I am absolutely agreeing with your write up……Yes….It is really a difficult one….But for Chithra madam , it will be just like plucking a flower from her garden….Not just becoz of her talence , It’s her humbleness that makes everything easy for her !!! I rank her as the most humble & simple lady in the whole world & even i am ready to bet others also for this…….So there is nothing difficult for her…….

I can read your mind using telepathy that you are a big big big fan of Chithra madam….But it doesn’t reflected even 1% in your rendition that you have not at all tried to bring Chithra madam in this…….A big congrats for that….Simply your own way of presentation……That switch over portion “en kannane vaa” was brilliant & awesome……With your writeup , you have mentally proved that you are so simple & humble with huge talent & amazing calibre in you…….Infact all the songs in this Mammootty – Balachandar movie are brilliant……A big salute to Keeravani sir too….

All the very best.

One of Maragathamani’s best ever composition and our chinna kuyil’s singing takes it easily to the all time songs category.

Well, to attempt this song, one need to have the confidence/calibre and before I even I listened, I knew Meera would have attacked it with a power packed performance. So did you Meera. It might have been a roller coaster ride for you but it was as gripping to listen through it too :-). Terrific singing. Dhool Takkar. I’m sure your tongue would have taken a toll lol.

This is definitely the toughest song of Chitra’s till date. Paadariyaen was equally tough too. Why don’t you cover Paadariyaen also or have you already done that ?
