Suddha Dhanyasi

1. Yentha Nerchina yentha choochina
2. Meghale taakindi hai hailessa
3. Subhalekha rasukunna yedalo eppudo
4. Sri Thumbura narada (the first part only - this is a ragamalika) ??

During identification I find that there is some similarity between Dhanyasi and Hindolam why ?

dhanyAsi             | 8| S G2 M1 P  N2 S  | S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R1 S
HindhoLam |20| S G2 M1 D1 N2 S | S N2 D1 M1 G2 S

Ofcourse in classical there will be difference, but in film songs people tend to mix swaras here and there,
hence may be someone has mixed.

To be researched

1. Jagathi sigalo jabilammaku (Saranga ?)
closely resembles - Neelo ala godari pongula , Vodanu jaripe , Krishna tarangala saranga raagaalu

2. Idhigidigo naa ramudu eedane koluvunnadu - Which ragam is this one based on ?- this is actually a lift from a song in sampoorna ramayanam sung by sabari - more on this very soon.

Sivaranjani

One more haunting ragam.

Ilayaraja
1. Abbanee tiyyani debba (JVAS / Veturi / SPB and Chitra)
I think this is the first use of this ragam for sringara rasam

Others
1. Alaamandi padake jabili (SPB/Jockey / Veturi/S Janaki)
2. Ee gali ee nela (KVM / Sirivennala / SPB and Suseela)

Mayamalava Gowla

This is the first ragam that people who learn carnatic music get exposed to , the sarali swaralu
( స రి గ మా ప ధా ని స ) are based on this ragam.
The reason for such a hurried post is because I was hearing to Yamaho ni yama yama from JVAS which is based on this ragam.

Illayaraja
1. Yamaho ni yama (Jagadeka Veerudi Atiloka Sundara / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
2. Muddutho sringara beetu (Dharmaskhsetram / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
Again use of this ragam for such a mass number - only raja can do
3. Jinjinaka Jinkara (Surya IPS / Veturi / SPB and Chitra)
4. Pavuraniki Panjaraniki (Chanti / veturi / SPB)

Hamsadhwani

Hamsadhwani means the call of a hamsa (Swan). I have never heard the dhwani of hamsa, but I have heard that a Hamsa can separate milk from water and also it seems to have a graceful walk.
This raga can pep you up in any mood. There are limited number of songs in films as far as I know.
In traditional songs, the most popular is ' Vathapi Ganapathim Bhaje' (Muthuswami deekshitar krithi).

Illayaraja
1. Eenade Yedo ayyidi (Prema/ Athreya / SPB and Chitra)
What a song! - My mom when she first heard the song said Raja might have hugged
Balu for the way this song is rendered.
2. Tarali radha tane vasantham (Rudra veena/ Sirivennala / SPB)
Mindblowing orchestration

SPB
1.Mounam ganam madhuram (Mayuri/Veturi/SPB and Janaki)

Others
1. Sri Raghuram jaya raghu ram (Music Ghantasala) (Santhinivasam / Samudrala / PB Srinivas and Suseela)

Mohana

This ragam is used to describe beauty, express love, express happiness. More description available here.

Illayaraja
1. Ade neevu ade nenu (Abhinandana / Athreya / SPB)
Again raja used an unconventional raga for the mood of the song

Others
1. Madhuramey sudha ganam (Music : Madhavapeddi Suresh) (Brindavanam / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
2. Mohana Ragamaha (Music : Pendyala Nageswara rao) (Mahamantri Timmarasu / Pingali / Ghantasala and Suseela)
3. Palikinadi Pilichinadi (Music: Satyam) (Seetharamulu / ? / SPB and Suseela)
A typical mohana song - starts of with a swaras followed by varnam based on the raga (Varaveena mrudipani).
