#NAYAGAN THEME SONG MOVIE#
Just listen to this composition from the 1989 movie Apoorva Sagodharargal, replayed recently by an orchestra.
#NAYAGAN THEME SONG FULL#
This is really a tragic because maestro Illayaraja has composed some of the best background music in the Indian movie industry!Īnd if you try running it with a full orchestra and you have compositions that in par with great composers from the West. I say dubbed because in reality there is no soundtrack dedicated to BGMs back in those days (AR Rahman started this trend a few years later after he became famous with the movie Roja). ‘Nayagan’ opened to terrific reviews and became a monstrous success at the box-office.Įven after all these years, the film is widely popular for Haasan’s confrontation scene with his daughter Charu.īut for now, let’s focus on Nayakan soundtrack and in particular this background music dubbed Saranya’s Theme. It’s also one of the few films that got featured in Time Magazine’s 100 Best Films of All Time. In fact, it marked the first and only collaboration of Mani Ratnam with Kamal Haasan, who won his second National Award for Best Actor. Upon release, ‘Nayagan’ became a trendsetter of sorts and went on to become a landmark film in the history of Tamil cinema. Loosely based on the life of the Mumbai gangster Varadarajan Mudaliar, ‘Nayagan’ chronicles the life journey of Sakthivel Naicker (Kamal Haasan) from his teens to death. Regarded as one of the best Indian films ever, ‘Nayagan’ (1987), directed by ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam, is one Tamil film that earned a global audience. This movie was also India’s official submission for the 60th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film in 1988. Nayakan was released on 21st October 1987 and immediately won numerous awards at national level for Best Actor, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.

Kamal’s facial expression tells a million things happening in his mind with Neela looking back at him innocently – Image source: Seriously one of these days, I really need to take time to do a proper review of Mani Ratnam’s 3 main classic Tamil movies – Nayakan, Thalapathi and Mouna Ragam – a fine combination of strong back story, some of the most evergreen music from Illayaraja and picture perfect cinematography.

I dare say that this is probably one of the most iconic image of Naicker & Neela from 1987 Tamil movie Nayakan (aka Nayagan).
