I hesitated to reply because I don't see any clear raga in any of these songs. I think all you can say is the scale of these songs. But that's just IMO.

RR, seri raga solla venam, scales sollunga
vinuta,
"chandhana punnagai" is in "chalanaattai" scale. Shankar Ganesh was so clearly inspired by IR churning out a master piece in this scale for the first time in TFM , in the super hit "pani vizhum malar VANAM" from "Ninaivellam Nitya" , that they lost no time in coming me up with this number .
"unnai thaan unnai thaan" is a beauty in Revathi. I rate this bettr than the Revathi composed by MSV in "madhira punngai sindhidum menagai:"
MD: Thayanban who is known to us.
Thumburu, yeah, Nattai-chaala nattai, I posted the raga for Shakthi for this song at 'emotional thread', left the rest to RR. that song's bgm is a mixture of several other raaja songs.
Where is Shakthi?
Hope she is noting your raga replies!
summa nikkadheenga, naan soluumbadi vaikaadheenga - i think its a kamal sulokshana song - any idea on who is the composer and what raga this is? i think it is maand
Composer - Ilaiyaraaja (Sakalakala Vallavan).
Composer - Ilaiyaraaja (Thoongadhe Thambi Thoongadhe).
What is the raga of Sonnathu Nee Thaanaa from Nenjil Oor Aalayam?
Dragun,
I hear that "Sonnathu Neethaana" is set to raga Jonpuri.
Hi RR, this piece was written for ilaiyaragam yahoo groups - see if you can add for TFM magazine

Raja's Natabhairavi's - defining the undefined !
For starters, natabhairavi is | S R2 G2 M1 P D1 N2 S in arohanam and same backwards in avarohanam S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S
The case of raga Natabhairavi' s usage in tamil film world is a real funny one - funny in the sense, the raga per se lacks strong bhavam of its own (bhavam simply is raga flavour / personality – most raga have their own aura, color, feel and texture – which is collectively summarized as raga bhavam). But that comes in handy for tamil music composers to churn out a natabhairavi based song in every other album that they compose. But ilaiyaraja, the profilic composer that he is, has moulded this raga to give several colors, dimensions and emotions. I have tried to compile maestro's natabhairavis (there could be hundreds that I have missed) into various categories of human emotions. Raja has scored some Energetic / Enthusiatic natabhairavis, Melodic natabhairavis, Western delights, Conservative carnatic styles, some Slow but Steady gems etc. But his knock out punch comes with those Haunting / Sad / Melancholy songs or songs that carry some Undefined mysterious feelings. Enjoy.
