Sadhana Sargam

Sadhana Sargam is another lovely voice that I love to listen to over and over again after S.Janaki & K.S.Chitra. The other thing I love is her clarity when singing in tamil, a south indian language, even though she is of North Indian origin.

She has won several awards throughout her career including the Indian national award as the best female playback singer in 2002 for the Tamil song "Pattu Solli" from the movie Azhagi, composed by Isaignani Ilaiyaraja.

Perhaps some credits may go to the Maestro himself who, as known to many of us, is a perfectionist when it comes to singers' pronunciation & rendition. Of course it would not be possible without Sargam's conscious effort to pronounce the lyrics correctly that is admirable & appreciable.

Apart from the many regional songs she has sung, she also sung for the Chinese flick "Warriors of Heaven & Earth". Music for the movie was composed by none other than our very own Isai Puyal AR Rahman. She has sung the Hindi version of the movie's theme song, Mirage (Warriors in Peace) which is sung by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai in chinese. The english version of the song is sung by Sunitha Sarathy.

Sargam has sung many songs under the composition of various music directors, and mostly for Ilaiyaraja & AR Rahman, if I'm not wrong.

Here are some of my fav songs sung by her:
Nilavinile - Manasellam composed by Ilaiyaraja
Azhagae Sugama - Paarthale Paravasam composed by AR Rahman
Merke Merke - Kanda Naal Mudhal composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja
Hello Hello -Villain composed by Vidhyasakar
Naanthaana - Ninaithaley composed by Vijay Antony
Ragasiyamai - Dumm Dumm Dumm composed by Karthik Raja
Vena Vena - Vaseegara composed by S.A Rajkumar
Kaadu Thiranthe - Vasool Raja MBBS composed by Bharathwaj
