Having Litsened to the Songs ,these are one of the best from the recent compositions of Ilayaraja:

My picks are .......

Aadhiyusha Sandhya poothathivide : Superb Lyrics cushioned by excellent rendering from Yesudas n team.
Kunnathe Konnakkum:Chitras Magical voice is sure to mesmerize you.
Ambum Kombum:Its typically an Aadivaasi Song rendered by Ilayaraja himself.Might sound odd at the first hearing ,but you will like it on repeated hearing.
Other songs like Odathandil thaalam kottum kaattil ,The Ismlamic Kessu Paatu Aalamadankalamythava alle ,Mathangana etc will also impress on repeated hearing.

Having seen the trailers, the song visuals,the stills and the trio of the Giants in malayalam cinema Pazhasi Raja Promises a Lot.Just 2 More days remain to reveal on how much it would live upto the created Hype.
