2. Hari Gori from Majunu (2001)

3. En Manadhil from Samurai (2002)
This is one endearing female love song that wasn't celebrated much even during those days. Vasundhara Das would have sung as if she was in a dream. The song has got some enthralling interludes.

4. O Muhalai Muhalai from Arasatchi (2004)
Though this song was a hit when it was released, what with the numerous times the visuals were telecasted on all music channels, it is not much talked about these days. This is one of Harish Raghavendra and Harini's best renditions.

5. Pathu Viral from Arul (2004)
Overshadowed by the popular Oddiyaanam Senju Tharen song, this peppy fusion track was sidelined. SPB and Swarnalatha's legendary voices make this number a great listen.

6. Yaaridamum Thondravillai from Thotti Jaya (2004)
Right from the beginning, this song is one kind of an experience.

It was not featured in the film, but Harris' fans have been crazy about this song for a long time.

7. Uyyalaalo Uyyalaalo from Dhaam Dhoom (2008)

11. Raakozhi Raakozhi from Irandaam Ulagam (2013)
One of the most experimental songs by Harris Jayaraj. The legendary voice of Hariharan would have made this tribal-based song a unique experience to listen to. This number too did not feature in the film.

12. Vizhiyae Vizhiyae from Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal (2014)

13. Nenje Nenje from Yaan (2014)
This album had some great songs with every number standing out. But this song became underrated as days passed by. Unnikrishnan and Chinmayi's magical voices are the cherries on the cake.

14. Maya Bazaar from Yennai Arindhaal (2015)
Back then, this was a surprise song from Harris Jayaraj. Beginning with something like an action hero's theme, this song then veers into giving a major throwback to the 60s with a lilting melody section crooned by Aalaap Raju and Priya Subramanian. Then the third segment is a folk song sung by Velmurugan. And then the last segment ends with an orchestral chorus.

15. Deivangal Ingae from Anegan (2015)
Amidst all the other radiant songs in this album is this gem of a melody. Sung by Sriram Parthasarathy, this number's video features life in yesteryear Burma.

16. Neerambal Poove from Nannbenda (2015)
This song is all about the hero falling in love with the heroine. With Thamarai's moving lyrics and MC Vickey's rap, this youthful number has the ebullient vocals of Arjun Menon.

17. Oh Maya Maya from Iru Mugan (2016)
This breezy love duet is a perfect song to play on long drives. N.C. Karunya and Ramya NSK would have elevated the romantic mood of the song with their blissful vocals.

18. Silu Silu from Vanamagan (2017)
This pleasant tribal melody became underrated what with songs like Damn Damn and Yemma Alagamma taking the limelight. Vijay Yesudhas's heart-melting rendition is one of the highlights of this song.

19. Oru Nooru Murai from Dev (2019)
Another breezy melody that is perfect to be played on a long drive. Harris Jayaraj's signature style works wonders in this song. It has the brilliant voices of Sathyaprakash and Shakthisree Gopalan.

20. Maayakari from The Legend (2022)
Since this song was not featured in the movie, it became highly underrated. Touted to be Harris Jayara's comeback after four years, this album had surprisingly great songs. Crooned by legends like Unni Menon and Bombay Jayashri, this lilting melody is worth repeated listens.
