LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 31, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Indian feature film Rail premiered to critical acclaim in India on June 21, 2024, showcasing the considerable musical talents of S. J. Jananiy, who served as Music Director. The film's powerful soundtrack and score was crafted by the multi-global award-winning composer and singer-songwriter, who hails from Chennai, India. The timing is perfect as Jananiy plans a visit to the U.S. this August to screen the film, and to attend the International Singer Songwriter Association Awards, in which she is a five-time Finalist.

Rail, directed by the award-winning Bhaskar Sakthi, is a compelling story rooted in Tamil, a South Indian village. S. J. Jananiy created five original soundtracks for the film, collaborating with the Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra to record the strings ensemble for the background score, and the soundtracks, adding depth and emotion to the music.

Each track spans various genres, including a Tamil folklore melody, an Indian classical melody, and an emotional song sung by the iconic music director and singer "Thenisai Thendral" Deva. The soundtrack also features a peppy folk-based song by Anthony Dasan, and three songs performed by Jananiy herself. One song in particular has proven deeply moving for audiences, and that is "Elay Sevathavane” (the Oppaari Song), a traditional folk song performed during death ceremonies; a poignant string ensemble was utilized in the film version.

Times Now News reviewed the film, noting "Music director S J Jananiy comes up with an apt mellifluous background score to accentuate the mood of the scene. The music is so appropriate and so judiciously used that it merges as one with the visuals being screened."

Rail is a beautiful “message movie” that was produced by M. Vediyappan of Discovery Cinemas. The film's powerful and timely narrative addresses tensions between Northern and Southern Indians over migrant labor issues. The sensitive yet philosophical storyline is enhanced by Jananiy’s music, as well as Theni Eswar’s stunning cinematography (DOP) and Nagooran Ramachandran’s meticulous editing. Lyricist Rameshvaidya's beautifully written lyrics complement Jananiy’s compositions, making the soundtrack a crucial element of the film’s storytelling.

Rail will be making the rounds on the international film festival circuit later this year. Already, the film has garnered exceptional recognition in India from the press, media, and audiences of all types. S. J. Jananiy’s music and original soundtracks have been praised globally, cementing her status as a leading figure in the music and film industry.
