Firstly, A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 to all! If you want to know which were the best songs of 2008, you can see this<\/a> at Milliblog and this<\/a> at Vinith’s blog. They have covered most of the wonderful songs of 2008. Instead of writing about the best songs, I thought, let me write about some pristine melodies which went unnoticed this year. Most of the times only 1 or 2 songs become “hit” songs but in most cases the hit song is not the best song in the movie. I intend to appreciate and highlight those tunes which did not get their due.<\/p>\n

HINDI<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mann Mohana—Jodha Akbar—A.R.Rahman- this is devotional bliss!<\/li>\n
  2. Falak Tak—Tashan—Vishal\/Shekhar<\/li>\n
  3. Chakkar Ghumyo—Aamir—Amit Trivedi<\/li>\n
  4. Jogi Mahi—Bachna Ae Haseeno—Vishal\/Shekhar<\/li>\n
  5. Dhanya Dhanya\/Bheege Bheege—Classically Mild (Sonu Nigam)\/Deepak Pandit-the best Sonu Nigam album according to me with fantastic orchestration. All the tunes were very good but these in particular give me goosebumps!<\/li>\n
  6. Khabar Nahi—Dostana—Vishal\/Shekhar<\/li>\n
  7. Bandagi—Drona—Dhruv Ghanekar<\/li>\n
  8. Kuch Khaas—Fashion—Salim Sulaiman<\/li>\n
  9. Kya Hai Sochti—Khushboo—Adnan Saami-a catchy tune with very innovative, funny lyrics.<\/li>\n
  10. Meetha Marz—Welcome to Sajjanpur—Shantanu Moitra<\/li>\n
  11. Zindagi—Yuvvraaj—A.R.Rahman<\/li>\n
  12. Muskura—Dasvidaniya—Kailash\/Naresh\/Paresh<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    TAMIL<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Uyirile—Vellithirai—G.V.Prakash-a soothing melody<\/li>\n
    2. Aazhiyilae—Dhaam Dhoom—Harris Jayaraj-superb tune, amazingly sung by Haricharan!<\/li>\n
    3. Chaaral\/Sollamaa—Kuchelan—G.V.Prakash-I loved these songs which just grew on me after multiple listens. Chaaral is a splendid tune in raag Jog.<\/li>\n
    4. Vaanathai Vittu—Raman Thediya Seethai—Vidyasagar<\/li>\n
    5. Againthaiyil\/Kallil Uyir—Uliyin Osai—Ilaiyaraja-I have written about these masterpieces earlier. This is the classical Ilaiyaraja!<\/li>\n
    6. Kanaa Kaangiren—Aanandha Thaandavam—G.V.Prakash<\/li>\n
    7. Anul Mele—Vaaranam Aayiram—Haaris Jayaraj-a very unique tune with a different rhythm structure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      MALAYALAM<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Etho Jalashankkil\/Maymassame—Laptop—Sreevalsan Menon-I can’t stop drooling over these 2 songs, you can’t say which is better!<\/li>\n
      2. Paathirakkuyil—De Ingottu Nokiye—M.Jayachandran-a haunting tune<\/li>\n
      3. Coffee@MG Road\/O Saathi—Coffee@MG Road album—Shaan Rahman\/Vineeth Sreenivasan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
