Starting the third season of my #ProjektIlaiyaraaja from today. I completed the first one and couldn't complete the second one. For the uninitiated, it's a 365-day project of posting unnoticed and rare songs of #Ilaiyaraaja. This time I can do it as a single thread. (0/365)
Song 1 is from Innisai Mazhai - one of my favourite albums of #Ilaiyaraaja. The movie was directed by Shobha Chandrasekar and has some scintillating music #Ilaiyaraaja #ProjektIlaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/2R0gv0v
Day 2/365 - Thought of posting another song but Facebook reminded me that today's Mahendran's First Anniversary. So, a delightful song from one of his best movies - Nandu #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja - https://bit.ly/3aIIp9a
Also #BlastFromThePast - I will try to post related songs from earlier seasons as an addendum. Nandu had two full-length Hindi Songs in a Tamil movie. And, I featured one of them in the first season. Guess the lyricist for this song?

Day 3/365 - A lot of you might not even remember this movie. Even if you did, you might not know this song. A beautiful duet with SPB and Minmini. Also, the only Tamil movie of Tisca Chopra till date ;) #Ilaiyaraaja #ProjektIlaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/3aE7qlC
Day 4/365 - This song has more western classical easter eggs than you can imagine. Enjoy the bliss. One of those bad movies with some amazing songs - https://bit.ly/2UF1MKt #ilaiyaraaja #ProjektIlaiyaraaja
Day 5/365 - Mixing the genre today. A folk bliss. One song, two moods - https://bit.ly/2JEaNNB #Ilaiyaraaja #ProjektIlaiyaraaja
Day 6/365 - Sometimes #ilaiyaraaja allows SPB to have some fun while singing. This is one of those songs - https://bit.ly/2JJzV5O #ProjektIlaiyaraaja
Day 7/365 - All you need to do is listen to the prelude and you will be hooked on to the song. You might know other songs in the movie and so, this song might have gone under the radar. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/3e83091
Day 8/365 - A beautiful Sarasangi Western fusion with some baffling arrangements and violin solos. This is bliss. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/2JMpJZZ
Day 9/365 - I have always avoided this song on the list because it was one of the popular ones. But I recently found that there was another Carnatic version of the same song in Lathangi. So here you go. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/34msbjz
Day 10/365 - Kannukoru Vannakili is an amazing album and nobody knows about it because the movie didn't make it to the screens. A must-listen album if you want to explore Ilaiyaraaja's music. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/34q9Thj
Day 11/365 - Taking a trip down the memory lane to 1976, the year in which all started. A soothing melody from SPB and S Janaki, probably the first time they sang together. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/2Vjggil
Day 12/365 - Another early years song from #Ilaiyaraaja. This song is mostly forgotten because of the super-duper hit, Sorgam Madhuvile, from the same movie. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/3b6lm88
Day 13/365 - One more song from 1979. I wish Jency didn't end her career so early. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/3b65HG6
Day 14/365 - I got reminded of this song yesterday because of other Geetha Sangeetha. This is a blast. Don't miss it. #ProjektIlaiyaraaja #Ilaiyaraaja https://bit.ly/3b4oz8i
