Identifying raagas in cine songs was never my forte. Even an uninitiated soul in my family would have an aha moment with the raaga of like "Mullai Malar Mele" or "Janani Janani", but not me.
I have worked (am still working) my way through this enchanting world of carnatic music with help of raagas of known songs. For example, once I know that "Malare Mounama" is a darbari kaanada number, as soon as I identify the similarity between "Malare Mounama" and "Ponnenben siru poovenben", I can expand my territory a little bit. This is followed by finding more similar numbers such as "nee kaatru naan maram", "oorellam un paatu dhaan","kalyaana thennila" etc - one clue leading to another, just like a crossword puzzle.
I must note that websites like tfmpage.com and Karnatik.com are of great help in this regard.
