There was rumours in late 80's about Chandrabose bashing Raja and Raja bashing chandrabose. When Raja came up with 'Raja Rajathi Rajan Endral raja', Chandrabose came up with, 'Villathi Villanaiyum..(Madhurai Kara Thambi).' Finally, raja came up with, 'Enkite Modhadhey Naan Raajathi..' It was like that. Chandrabose really good numbers in that period. Ithaya Deepam (Many songs are really good), Madhurai Kara Thambi, Thai Male Aaanai etc. He also sang in Vai Kozhupu. Perhaps, it might be the reason for his downfall.

Many of us here would recall an MD named Chandra Bose, who was actively scoring music for Tamil films till recently. Some of his good songs include "Madhuva Medhuva" from Annanagar Mudhal Theru, "Vanathai Pathen" from Manidhan, etc. In fact, he was at the peak of his popularity in 1988, where he even managed to upstage Ilaiyaraja for a while. So, let's have a discussion about him, and discuss his contributions to TFM ...

[Lillie_Steins]

Mano,
The stuff about the competition between Raja and Chandra Bose with the Rajadhi Raja issue was mentioned in Kumudham (perhaps jocularly, or maybe mischievously, as usual). But I don't think there was any such thing in reality.
As for the songs that he sung himself, there was a popular one in "Oru Thottil Sabadham" - Poonchittu Kuruvigala, and one more in "Naan Pudicha Maappillai" - Deepavali Deepavali thaan. In fact, both were sung for janakaraj, and were not out-of-place.
One reason for his downfall could be that IR was staging a comeback in 1989, and Chandra Bose was getting rather jaded, with more songs sounding just like Kakki Chattai Potta Machaan.
But all said and done, he did produce some lilting tunes, which were somewhat original too.

[Lt_Apple]

I agree. Indeed he did produce some lilting tunes.
some of them are:
Chinnavale Chinnavaley.. SPB & Sunanda, Ithaya Deepam.
Nee Paarkama Poriya... SPB & UR, Manaivi Oru Manthiri
Entha Kathai solla Naan..SPB & KJJ, Thai Male Aanai.
Iravum Orunaal Vidiyum.. KJJ & Chorus, Madhurai Kaara Thambi.

neelak kuyilkal rendu song from Viduthalai
is a good melody scored by CB.

The Question answer type song by him
(funny!!!)
ennap paththi nee enna nenaikkire
unnap paththi naan onnum nenaikkale

[brraverishhh]

Chandrabose gave some enduring melodies that will stand the test of time. It's a shame that he is lost to TFM for he deserves a few films a year at least.

Some of my favorites:
Maampoovae Siru Mainaavae a classic duet by KJY and PS from "Machchaanai Paaththingala"

Kolusae Kolusae Isaipaadu Kolusae from an AVM movie starring Ramji and Gowthami.

Neelakuyilgal Rendu from "Viduthalai"

Aendi Muththamma Aethu Punnagai from Aaru Pushpangal

[brraverishhh]

udahya,
aendi muththamma, chandra bose sang it, but
the music by MSV.
Neelakuigalrendu is a wonderful song.
I agree, he was good in mid 80s, but he lacked
variety in his music. He got some few big banner movies in that period, and that also helped his
popularity.
I still remembered hearing so many obscure chandra bose songs, suddenly being asked by listeners in the morning vivid bharathi. The rumor was, Chandrabose clans were doing that on purpose, I still think, there is some amount of truth in it.
But he can be proud for the fact that, he was thest to dislodge IR ( for a very brief period), before ARR, and others did it eventually.

Some pretty decent songs by CB:
- 'Ilankuyil padutho...' from Kaliyugam
- 'Malligaippoo poothirukku..' from Thaai Mel Aanai.
- 'Yetho Nadakkirathu..' from Manidhan
- 'Odaiyinna Nallodai..' from Raasaathi Rosaakili; is it by CB?

[softy54534]

can someone list CB's songs in TV serials?

[PhillipHer]

"Aajaare aajaare aajaare"-->"Sandosham kaanadha vaazhvundaa?"
(Aajaare=Manna Dey-Vani jeyaram duet of late 70's)

[radikal]

Some more decent songs include:
Poo pooththathai yaar parthathu - Kathanayagan
Maina maina pattathurani nee parthiyaa, Kudumbam oru kvil endru - Naan pudicha mappillai
Chinna chinna poove - Sankarguru

[brraverishhh]

he's scoring music for nimmadhi ungaL choice and all other AVM serials in SUN TV.

[MannoFr]

He is scoring for Urvashi's serial " Panchami" also in SUN T.V

[Peptobismol]

During my college days Chandra bose was my favourite MD. I am glad to see this thread. The songs mentioned here really show that some of our memorable songs are from him.

Chandrabose had sung some songs. Still his best song is 'yendi muththtamma...'(MD: MSV)from 'Aaru pushpangal' Listen it once, you know what I mean.

I think he was working in MSV's group in the beginning. Reportedly Deva and Chandrabose worked together.

The big difference between chandrabose and Deva is that Chandrabose is original!!

It is very possible that the vivid bharathi is fully occupied with his songs at one point. Some of his successfull songs were really 'tupponk kuthhu'. (sankar guru, Vidudhalai)

It will be nice to have a complete list of CB's songs. I think no body mentioned ' poop parikkum Nerathile' from karayai thodatha alaigal.

Hello All,

CB is coming back with a roar with his new album " MILLENIUYM ISAI " with his latest music trends.The Tamil music field say that all the songs are fantastic sung by SPB,HARIHARAN,SUJATHA,SWARNALATHA,DEVA,SABESAN,UNN IKRISHNAN,SRINIVAS AND HIS SON VINOTH .He is my favourite MD and i saw him in a function 3 months back and he look same as he was in the 80's soo young and raring to start over again.

BEST OF LUCK MY DEAR CB.

Byee all

[MannoFr]

a FYI

Not too many people might have known Chandrabose's
mother was a well known singer from yesteryears.
Her name was S.R.Kamalam.S stands for Sirkaazhi,I believe.Chandrabose is another Sirkazhi Native,
besides the "sirkaazhi mUvar",Sirkaazhi G.Rajan
and ofcourse his mother.

Way down in the talent ladder though.

[Lillie_Steins]

Ihave listend a song from vivid bharathi, Starting with an A'adaan ( Muslim's call for prayer) and follows "Rahi oh rahi......It was on mid 70s...Can anyone give me the details of tis song?
