Score: 0 / 30
I got it all 30 right man. it was interesting.great. thanks.
I identified only 18. but it is very interesting. Even they give 100 songs like above. its really time passing.
Movie Name :kan simittum neram Song : unnai thotta thendral enru ennai thottu sonnathoru seidhi ullukulae aasai vaithu thalli thalli povathenna needhi.. please sent the song lyrics
Hey! good one… i could get all 30 right …except for 26 which took some time to hit my mind…good work… thanks
Hai Anand, hw r u? i like to down load the song ‘anandaragam’-panneer pushpangal. But i could’nt. hw can i?. pls .
Hi, I was able to find for 22 out of 30 could u please tell me what is the answer for 2, 4, 5, 10, 15, 16, 18, 21
iwant all illayaraja songs from A to Z.Rply me as soon as possible
11 – Couldnt identify, can u let me know, which song is that one
Most of these bits have the movie name in the file info when played in Windows Media player!
You’re right. I’ve fixed that now.
awesome fun 🙂 1, 13 and 26 please?
1 is a film starring Prabhu, 2: Kamal and 3: Suresh
the clue u ve gvn s wrong.2nd s a movie starring karthik and 3rd s the one wth ramarajan
Sorry, I meant 1, 13 and 26 respectively.
thalaiva … thats just great collection. BTW, if you have the BGMs alone, could you put them as well ?
The Quiz was great..I saw ur site today..I have completed 28..if you could give another 5 more seconds of music for the songs 10 & 11, i would appreciate
Sathish, 10 and 11 are both Kamal movies. Does that help?
Have you written the common.js yourself ? thats great. I would like to re-use/flick the “maptamil” function. You are quite wicked that you use one way SHA1 hash … there is no way to hack the answer (is there a way ?). So pls do post the answers ;-(
Yeah, wrote mapTamil myself. Took me 2 weeks of testing on raaga.com — feel free to reuse!
The reason I picked SHA1 instead of MD5 was that it’s tougher to crack. It can be done, but in about 2 power 69 calculations
I figured out all the 30 movies..was a good quiz..Great work!!
This is awesome work … nice pics …I got 20 … @5 …know the song ..dunno the movie … Can’t wait for your 90s and 2000 list … when can we expect that .. I can give you a list of these kind of marquee songs that people are expected to find in
great work. keep going.
Anand, i want answers to this puzzle. Can you please help?
good quiz can give some clues here and there too

Sriraghavan, if the boxes turned green, then the answers were correct!
Hello All, I manage to score 27/30 – Box for song#18 never turned green despite the fact the answer is correct (I am 100% sure on the answer and my memory)

illyaraja songs was gold. whenever i get tensed that time i listned raja’s songs all sads was gone. raja’s is best.
Ilayara, alias music
I can say the best musician in the world is none other than Mr.Ilayaraja.
Ilayaraja is Gods Gift.
Feel gifted to exist and share the world with a genius like Ilayaraja.
Ilayaraja sir is a god to me. He is the best musician in the world
hai, it is really suberp. can i get the lyrics of illayarajas songs.
Hai Anand congrajulations,and thanks a lot . Wish you all the best. God bless you.
paaraamal pona pournami ellaam
pariththu kodukkum oruvan
kaelaamal pona paadalai ellaam
thiratti kodukkum oruvan…
ILAYARAJA IS GENIUS AND HE IS BRAHMMA OF MUSIC
30/30, grown up with Illayaraja music. Part of life. For every song there has been special and unforgettable occasions and moments. Those days we our friends are very much eager to hear new songs, For us cassettes are expensive, In our town (Pudukkottai) one Tea shop who owned by Sathya ( He resembles Sathya Kamal having beard and styled like Kamal, so we call him Sathya) bought new releases we all our friends top up there hear music with ‘Dhum’ and Tea for more than an hour. 80 ‘s are the years which never come back again with full of joy and carefree attitude… Nothing But Raja’s Muzik…
illayaraja the grammar of music.he is the heart pain reliever by his music
Ilayaraja Sir is like a guru to me. With his songs only I get interested into music. I am thankful to God to hear his music especially rerecoding and orchaestration. Thanks to share with everyone.
Raja sir is Nature’s grand living sound instrument. The sequence of notes that hit one’s heart comes so effortlessly to this maestro that one remains possessed for the entire time listenng to his music. I am particularly awe-struck at all the intro bgms of Raja sir. They have a unique pattern which no other can imitate nor fathom. to cite an example just listen to the intro of the Nalinakanthi piece “enthan nenjil nee thane”. Raja sir has that uncanny knack of picking up the key notes of a raga which will not be revealed until the actual pallavi is heard. In fact his into bgms are itself a great rpertoire for research on chors and carnatic music.
We, the Tamilians are gifted by having been born here., Sivaji ,Kamal., Ilayaraja.,Kannadasan-the supremoes in their art ,world class,,who could only be duplicated,not replaced.
Maesto is great and cannot express about him in words. His music is a soothing effect / remedy for day to day life complexes. Not like to stop even after repeated listenings. Some addicting magic in his songs and not seen in other musicians. So we like his musics done in 70’s, 80’s & 90’s etc. Thanks to God for getting chance to enjoy his musics.
i got 4 out of 30.. i enjoys this quiz.. memory is out of date.. ha ha.. but i can guess al the songs..mmm really isai sidther is great…
Got 30 out of 30, I really enjoyed it
Good Collection
i wish to hear again the ilayaraja songs i knew all the songs but i typed the name it could not accept although i don’t bother about it because i love the all songs.
Chanceless, What a legend, he is…..God’s gift to Indian music. Even a child will turn silent hearing his music. No words to describe…a heavenly feeling hearing his music. Should see him atleast once in my lifetime.
Dear anand ,Thanks a lot.30 /30
Expecting more quiz 1975 to 1990
i love heart raja
ilayaraja is music god
Thanks a Lot. Please can someone tell the answer for 1, 10 & 26. Theriyama mandey vedichirum..

Hi! Eswar, I was also looking for the same song for years and finally go it. It is from the movie “Vazhkai”. You can download video at You tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qveg840rPDY.
The song starts with “mella mella ennai thottu”
@Eswar, 24– I think the movie you are referring to is valzkai and the song is mella mella enai thotu
