Shreya Ghoshal's Contributions To Malayalam Music Industry

 

Shreya Ghoshal – the top female voice of present times has given wonderful contributions to Malayalam industry also. She is at the top wanted list and obviously, the top melodies go to her kit. Through this column I would like to briefly describe the contributions given by this melody queen to Malayalam music lovers.

 

She entered Malayalam film world through Mammootty’s movie – Big B in 2007. The song ‘Vida parayumo’ was a hit. But it was the song, ‘Anuraaga vilachithanai’ of Neela Thamara (Green lotus) in 2009 which brought her huge fame in Malayalam industry. Malayalam is a very difficult language to speak and it’s a herculean task for a non-malayali to conquer its dictation. But when she sang this song, it was not at all easy to find that she is a North Indian. Not only that, that song of the remake of the movie with the same name, topped all music charts in 2009. Same year she sung the songs of Banaras, pictured on Kavya Madhavan and for the first time in the history of Kerala state awards, a non-South Indian won an awards in Playback singing category Malayalam and the record is still there. Shreya Ghoshal is the only North Indian voice who is able to get awards for Malayalam singing. The song was ‘Chandu thottille’ of Banaras and she created history again by winning it for the second time in 2011 for Kannoram of Rathinirvedam and Kannodu kannoram of Veera puthran.

 

She has given wonderful contributions to Malayalam film industry and music composer M. Jayachandran is her mentor. He gives the best songs of his movies to Shreya and for that reason many leading ladies of playback singing Malayalam are in bad terms with him. But according to Jayachandran, Malayalam playback singers need to learn a lot from this lady and try to learn her dedication and hard work. Remuneration of Malayalam movies is not as huge as Bollywood or Tollywood. But her contributions to Malayalam fim industry clearly states that she is a singer who gives preference to good songs and melodies than money she gets through her work. Best songs of Jayachandran sung in Shreya’s voice include songs of Banaras, Nilave of Chattakari (Julie), Cham cham of Mallu singh, Kaattil of Pranayam and Kilikal paadum of Swapna Sanchari. Other hits include Vennilave of Saagar Elias Jacky, Chemparathi kammal of Manikya kallu, Kizhakku pookum and Kanninima of Anwar, Pathinezhinte of Vellaripravinte Changathy, Manju mazha of Aagathan, Aavani thumpi of Sneeha veedu and Kaanamullal of Salt n Pepper.
