Will add songs over the next few weeks as i remember them; pls do add the ones you remember
1. ShanmughaPriya ragamo- this is a song by MG radhakrishnan that is in shanmughapriya
2. Vasantha Ragam - Ilaiyaraaja composed this song in multiple ragas for the movie Aditya 369 (telugu) but the vasantha part also comes in the lyrics

How to Identify Ragas in Film music without Learning Music (1/n) .
I havent learnt classical but using a "signature melody " in one song you can identify ragas as well!
Raag Bhairavi- Here are pattern of songs across languages ; look at the 2nd/4th line ending with same phrase.
Basically once you get the signature melody you will start identifying similarities to the original reference . For me for Bhairavi( sindhubhairavi) the reference is mile sur mera tumhara ; those patterns get repeated mostly in all other songs. Hope this is of help.

#ARRahman and Guitars Based Songs (🧵) - ARR is known for using synth and keyboards but occasionally he shows his magic with guitar driven songs. Illayaraja was a guitarist himself while I assume ARR probably gave a free hand to his guitarists to "jam" over his melody (1/n)
Spanish Masala - This is what I think of probably his first guitar driven Song - July Matham ( from his 3rd movie ) . Since Prasanna played guitar he nicely mixed "western" and carnatic elements to it . See Prasanna playing it himself in this video (2/n)
