Pick #360

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/thanneer_kot.rm


Song: thanneer vitto vaLarthom
Movie: kappalottiya thamizhan
Singer : Tiruchi loganathan
Lyrics: Bharathiar
MD: GRamanathan


My mom recalls that there were only 7 people in the theatre , including herself and my dad , on the day KOT was released . The film was released in Liberty theatre kodambakkam and ran for exactly one week. Till today she wonders why the film was not accepted in its first run(Looks like the reruns did good business).
I watched this film on DD and was just moved by the story and the powerful performances by the ensemble of cast.
The film also had some mesmeresing songs tuned by GR. What i liked more was the usage of TL's voice. He was usually given fun songs like 'kalyaana samayal sadham' . But in KOT he sang some soulful songs written by kavichakravarthy subramaniar bharathy.
Todays song always brings tears to my eyes. The heartful rendition and the meaningful lyrics are just unbeatable.

[S.Balaji]

[tscii:18b2cb00ad]RR

I wish you had posted this tearful song a week after – on 15th August ! It would have been more appropriate !

VOC’s son himself acknowledged that he could see his Father in Nadigar thilagam !

Such was the precise portrayal of the character which richly deserved a national award

This song appears when VOC operates one Chekku machine inside the prison upon getting to rigorous imprisonment

The primitive Chekku machine which was used to extract oil was operated with immense pain by VOC in Ottapidaram prison & they have kept this machine as a memorial now

When the song touches the words – MELORGAL VENSIRAYIL VEENZDHU KIDAPADHUM…NOOLORGAL SEKKADIYIL NOVADHUVUM KAANGILAYO…. The camera shows the close up shots of Nadigar thilagam writhing in pain as he operates the equipment ……

Truly an unforgettable song ……………..

Indeed , this movie has splendid songs by GR :

1. Velli panimalayin meedhulaavuvom – Tiruchy Loganathan
2. Katru veliyidai kannama – PBS & PS – gem of a melody
3. Vande matharam enbom – Seergazi
4. Odi vilayadu pappa - Seergazi
5. Endru thaniyum indha sudhanthira dhagam – Thiruchy Loganathan
6. Nenjil uram indri – Seergazi

This movie is a GR classic

Despite the then government having given tax exemption, this was a failure . I think B.R.Pandhulu was the producer

S.V.Subbaiah got name & fame by splendid portrayal of Barathiyar

Atleast for this movie Shivaji should have been given an award


[/tscii:18b2cb00ad]

[rajeshkrv]

balaji, one more song
chinna kuzhandhaigol pol by PS

[Anoushka]

such a beautiful song :) Thanks for the song RR :) Brings back the memories of watching this movie on Sunday afternoon DD and crying tons :) (And Sadhana Srivasatav of Delhi DD announcing the movie as kaabalOtiya tamizan :lol:)

[Ramki]

Thanks RR for reposting the song. I didnt notice it went to the archives

Pick #361

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/radhi_ovou.rm


Song: radhi devi sannidhiyil
Movie: oru veedu oru ulagam
Singers : TLMaharajan, BSSasirekha
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSViswanathan

Whenever i think of TLM songs, todays pick always tops the list. Though he has sung many songs and though todays pick is a popular number, i couldn't pick anyother as this is his best.
An excellent composition from isaimannar for an excellent film.
The rare combination of singers gives the song a unique touch.


OVOU is a fantastic film with superb acting by Shobha and Srikanth.
The song appears in the background as the newly wed couple
shobha and vijaybabu frolick in the shores of the ocean, enjoying the nature and celebrating their honeymoon.

TLM , one of Tiruchi Loganathan's sons made his debut as a child singer in thiruvarutchelvar. His ability to match the voice range
of TMS was beyond his age. As an adult he has a unique voice.
This could be one of the reasons for him not singing many songs in TFM. IR and MSV used him sporadically. His last song with IR is 'andhi mazhai megam'(i think).
Thanks to ARR, he became famous again with 'nee kattum selai madippile' . Since then he has sung few more numbers for ARR among which I love his song in Desam with Hariharan.

[Neel D]

Ramki,

Nice song rathidevi sannidhiyil. Listening to it after a long time.
A dot is needed in the link before "rm".

Touching song thanneer vitto valarthom. Of all the films with Bharati songs, Kappalottiya Tamizhan is the album I like the most, followed by Ezhavathu Manithan and of course singles such as Nirpathuve Nadappathuve.

[Interpreter]

Nice song again Ramki. I think Vijaybabu will die at the end of the song.

Was going through the older picks during the weekend and was just thinking that almost all of them are from the 70s and early 80s, when I saw Kappalottiya thamizhan being featured yesterday :)

And just curious- aren't SN23, Vel 1970 and Vasumathi Renga all the same person- our old friend Subbu?

[yvsmani]

rathi devi sannithiyil - a good duet by two under rated singers. Both have done a fine job. and of course, MSV.

[RR]

A dot is needed in the link before "rm".

Just fixed the link.

[jn]

thanneer vittO vaLarththom..... when I listen to this song, I feel guilty that many people do not know the value of all the hardships gone thorugh by so many of our ancestors to attain freedom. TL has brought out the emotions very well.

radhi dhevi song - Listening to it after ages. What about the other songs from this movie? Remember the story vaguely. Shobha is from an orthodox brahmin family and gets married to vijaya babu(?) when she is still in college. I think vijaya babu drowns and dies after this song. Shobha's father- in-law is forward in his thoughts and lets Shobha to continue her education. Srikanth is a professor. apram ninaivillai:(

[Ramki]

interpreter, when i started POW i was hosting songs from all decades. The response for old songs was not too encouraging. But i always try to sneak in them here and there :)

JN kadasiliye srikanth shobavai kalyanam pannikira maadhiri varum..eppavo DDle paarthadhu.

[Ramki]

Pick #362

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kayatha_vv.rm


Song: kayatha kaanagathe
Movie: velundu vinaiyillai
Singer : Deepan Chakravarthy
Lyrics: ?
MD: MSViswanathan

Deepan was the luckiest among the sons of Tiruchi Loganathan .
Not only he got to sing some good songs by IR, he also got to act in films(though that was a bad decision :) ).
He has a decent voice and IR exploited it well. Among the songs he sang for IR, i would rate 'poojaikkaga vaazhum' from kadhal oviyam as his best.
Todays pick, originally sung by the great TRMahalingam in srivaLLi, is not an easy number to reproduce. DC does it really well. I'm not sure in what sequence this song is used in the film.Hopefully not a comedy scene. The original is my fathers favorite. He likes very few
film songs and this is one of them.

Thanks to NeelD for sending this rare song

[rajraj]

Ramki,
TMS sings part of this song in 'engaL thanga raja' ! :)

[madhu]

Ramki.. I think "kayadha kanagathE" is for Vijaykanth .. certainly not a comedy scene :)

[Interpreter]

Very nice song. DC has done a great job.

[rra]

rajraj: did you mean "Rajapart Rangadurai"?
rra

[RR]

Ramki.. I think "kayadha kanagathE" is for Vijaykanth .. certainly not a comedy scene :)
yes, madhu. Vijaykanth in vedan vesham.

DC said in an interview that he literally toiled over to get this song done.

I think it's in Jonpuri raga.

[SN23]

Interpreter: My name is Swaminathan. Not subbu. I will not ask you to interpret your name and I am not curious :-)

jn: In Oru veedu iru ulagam, Major Sundarrajan played the father-in-law role. Excellent performance.

Ramki: "Deepan was the luckiest among the songs of Tiruchi Loganathan". Sons of TL illaya :-)

Vijayakanth's acting for this song, romba pramaadham sirichu sirichu vayiru valikkum :lol:

[tvsankar]

Dear Ramki,
Nice rendition by DC .Thanks for the rare song !!

Dear RR,
Biravi, JOnpuri. Kaapi -- Indha raagam ellam indha paatil irupadhu pol thonugiradhae?

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

[jmahesh]

Ramki
This song was partly comedy to watch .
It was Vijaykanth singing for Ambika.Vedan veshathil (Valli getupil irukkum) ambikavai thurathi thurathi paduvaar.
I was regularly listening to your picks , a bit busy ( & lazy ) to comment .

[yvsmani]

i think a song in arivumani starts with kaayatha kanagaththe (original)

[Ramki]

vijayakanth as Murugan? OMG. They might not have got koundamanis callsheet.

SN23 ..corrected :)

Mahesh, was wondering what happened to you :)

[Ramki]

Pick #363

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/amutha_pm.rm


Song: amuthamazhai pozhiyum
Movie: pombaLa manasu
Singer : TLThyagarajan (and ?)
Lyrics: vairamuthu?
MD: Rathna Suriyan (!!)


TLT, the lease popular singer of the TL clan, has a very pleasing voice. Im not sure why he didnt get to sing much.
His duet with VJ from OMP was featured in POW. He also song 'varuvai anbe' with SJ in garjanai.

Few weeks back our in house paadavathi song consultant FM reminded me of this ilangai vanoli popular song :). Its a decent song by debutant MD. Lyrics are very VMish.
FM says there is one more good JC solo 'kadal alai ' in PM. I think PM had Naazar and Ranjani in the lead.

This week we saw four songs by 4 different singers from same family. SPB's family comes close in this category. Anymore such families?(nope not considering IR family ..YSR,kR and Bhava cannot be considered as singers )

[Nitya]

In "Kaayaatha Kanagathe," I love the substitution of harmonium for violin. I don't think the song is set to Jonpuri though- to me, it sounds more like Bhairavi.

[Interpreter]

Ramki- nice idea of featuring songs by singers from the same family.

varuvai anbe was by T.K.S.Kalaivanan, if I remember right.

SN23- I already got my question answered :)

[From Mars]

Ramki :roll:

Actually the lead pair is Raghuvaran & Ranjani. The song came in the background ;)

kadal alai and 'amutha mazhai' was very much popular, every tea kadai was playing these songs regularly. another popular song at that time was 'raasaathi ennai' from 'raasaathi kalyaaNam'.

As per someone!!, TLT has lost shurthi through out the song.
This song still has place in every wedding ceremony!

[SN23]

Ramki: is Laliha sagari anyway related to TL's family? I vaguely remember one dute by TLT and LS. Not sure though :-)

TLT has a better voice than his brothers but singing style and flexibility are so so :-(

[yvsmani]

IS kadal alai by PJ, which u are refering to, same as 'kadal alai kaalgalai muththamidum pudhu kalai' ??

[jmahesh]

Have not heard this song Ramki.
It appears that all sons had a tinge (or is it trying to imitate) of their father's voice .
Though not many in number a few more familiy of singers may include
1)Sirgazhi and son Sivachidambaram
2)Suseela & her DIL Sandhya
3) A.M Raja &jikki ( their son sang in light music programme, not sure about film songs)
4) Ramanan & Uma ramanan
5)KJY & Vijay Yesudos
6) Vkumar & Swarna
7)S.N.Surendar,Shobha & Vijay(sorry , to include him as a singer) :oops:
8)A.R.R , his nephew G.V Prakash , & his sister ( she sang a few lines in Metukudi)
Of course none to beat SPB's family

[jmahesh]

Sorry Vkumar was not a singer

[Ramki]

interpreter thanks, its by kalaivanan

SN23, 'aedheho karpanai vandhu' song solreengaLa? I dont know if LS is related to TL's family

Mani adhe song thaan

Mahesh innoru family vittuteenga:)

Deva, sabesh, Murali, srikanth deva, devas daughter sangeetha (she sang one song in a surya film), Febi

Pick #364

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/poo_sm.rm


Song: poongodiye poongodiye
Movie: School Master
Singers : SJanaki, SPB
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSV

SBalaji requested this good song from SM. This , i believe, is the second duet SPB-SJ sang together. Was it picturised on Sivakumar and kumari padmini? Not sure.

Another great song from SM is 'thannanthanimaiyile'. This was one of my earlier picks.


http://tfmpage.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?p=35142#35142

[madhu]

wow..

I am hearing this after a looong gap.. nice pick Ramki..

its picturised on Rajasri.. but I forgot the other one.. :oops:

[SN23]

Ramki: Edhedho karpanai endru thAn nAnum ninaikkirEn :-)

Mahesh: romba mukkiyamAna family combination vittu vitteergaL. SPB+Son Charan+Daughter Pallavi. Some more are TMS & his sons Balraj, Selvakumar, LRE+her sister LRA, Soolamangal Sisters RL & JL & RL's son MuraLi, Radha & Jayalakshmi, Sujatha & her daughter Shwetha Mohan (she had given a private album; beautiful voice), K.Veeramani & his wife Radha, Sons Kannan & Raju... and few more..

Poonkodiye Poonkodiye song picturised on Neelakandan(Debut) & Rajashri. AniyayamAna pair for Rajashri, that too acted as DIL of Gemini Ganesan :lol:

I like a rare duet by SPB & Vasantha (BV not for just humming).... from Ippadiyum oru peN "PongudhE punnagai". Very breezy song for Sivakumar and Kumari Padmini. Have you already hosted this song, Ramki??? If no, host seiyya mudiyumA?

[jmahesh]

Nice song Ramki.
SN23 you dint read the last line in what I said.
'Of course none to beat SPB's family'
Neengalum S.P shailajavai vituviteerhalae. :)

[rajeshkrv]

edhedho karpanai was by mano and lalitha sahari from vaikozhuppu MD :chandrabose

[Ramki]

Madhu thanks

SN23..idhe song idhe song..i always get confused with these 2. I had this song in mind when i said poongodiye was picturised on KP and SK

[Ramki]

Pick #365

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/nee_br.rm


Song: nee oru kodi
Movie: Bama Rukmani
Singers : SJanaki, SPB
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan
MD: MSV


Song requested by Naaz.He writes

The title says it all. Mythology does not get all that
modern a twist, and Bhagyaraj's bigamist finds himself
caught between Radhika...and a Praveena place.
Released around the time that the director's love life
had the tamil tabloids agog, there was precious else
to recommend the film, except, perhaps, a few fine
tunes by MSV. This duet features B and P in a Boat
Payanam (that sinking feeling?) on that much abused
cellu-lake in Kodaikanal. S Janaki and SPB work with
the melody this time, and the song is a soft, coy
brush of lips on cheek. She gets the flowers, he gets
the following....and we get to hum before we get
angry. Real angry.

Kadhava Theradi Bamaa (MVD) and Gokula Kannan Nee
Endru (VJ) were the two other songs from the film.

[premananth]

hi all.... !

Ramki sir, Poongkodiye Poongkodiye and Nee oru Kodi are my favourite songs...!

Thanks for host the songs.

I think you've missed the great IR family in your list. GA's son Prem (who sang "thee pidikka thee pidikka" from the movie Arinthum Ariyaamalum) and Vengkat also singgers.

[vel1970]

SPB sings with sort of disinterest in bhama rukmini song. His pronounciation is also not correct while singing 'uvamaigalale dhamayanthi azhahai puhaYetrinaane pulavan' as SPB sings it as puhaLetrinaane. This song has some resemblemce of kamban yemaandhaan. Whereas school master song is really good with youthfulness in SPB voice and SJ as well.

[Naaz]

Ramki -

Thanks for featuring this duet! And many more thanks for featuring Kanneer Vittom...as immortal as freedom itself!
SJ is a wild creeper in Poongkodiye. Her LaLaLa opening is a smash.
I hope to hear Nilavondru Kandaen by the same duo...this week?

Naaz

[jmahesh]

Hearing this song after sometime.
I have seen this movie and remember the story very well.
KB's childhood love is Praveena, marries her and also marries Radhika due to his parents compulsion.He is torn betweeen them ad he with the help of his friend Nagesh try to bring them together.All his efforts go in vain and the movie ends with the scene of someone trying to straighten a dog's tail . It was supposed to be a comedy movie but i remember moving my fascial muscles only to yawn. :)
However this song is very good.In fact I feel the song is sweet & melodious than before( due to the current state of tfm)

[Ramki]

Thanks everyone.

Premananth i did include IR's family by mentioning that they should not be included :)

[Ramki]

Pick #366

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/idhaya_tko.rm


Song: idhaya vaasal thirandhapodhu
Movie: thoongatha kaNNendru ondru
Singers : SJanaki, SPB
Lyrics: Muthulingam?
MD: KVMahadevan

This is a very sweet, 'ghazalish' kind of song by KVM. SJ and SPB further sweeten the tune with their honey drenched voices. The interludes could have been better. A IR-KVM combo would have made the song more grand.

'Thoongaatha kaNendru ondru'. Theatreliyum thoongatha kaNendru ondru ..adhaanga film operator kaNNu. Audience kaNNellaam paadhi padathiliye thoongi theatre fulla kurattai satham vandhirukkum. Padam semathi aruvai. DDle vacha pothu paarthadhu.
Film had Ambika and Mohan. He is an aspiring singer(or MD?) , she is his encouraging girlfriend. He goes to Madras to try his luck. He gets an opportunity. He travels back to his village to share the success. She meanwhile travels to Madras to visit him.
Their trains cross as she gets raped by 4 guys in the train. Maha sogam. I think the film was directed by Sundararajan.

KVM came up with good songs. The climax song 'nee azhaithadhu pol' is an excellent solo by SPB. Was this his last film in tamil?

[NOV]

Ramki, I was expecting Kannan special in conjunction with gOkulashttami :P

any one of these would do

kannan pirandhaan engal kannan pirandhaan (petraal thaan pillaiyaa)
kannan varum nEramidhu (nenjirukkum varai)
kannan vandhaan angE kannan vandhaan (raamu)
kannanai ninaikkaadha naal illaiyE (seer varusai)
kannan mana nilaiyE thangamE thangam
kannan varuvaan kadhai solluvaan (panjavarnakkili)
gangai karai thOttam
azhaiththavar kuralukku varuvEn endraan
kannaa karumai nira kannaa (naanum oru pen)

[From Mars]

Ramki I don't think so.

KVM also did 'paai mara kappal' very nice songs.

[rajdes]

RE: IR family, I think Pavalar or RDBaskar's son gave himself the pseudonym 'Ilayagangai' and scored a music for Vijayakanth. I dont remember the name of the film but one of the stalwarts here sure will!

Nov,
Krishna jayanthi will be celeberated again in september :). I plan to host a Kannan song , hopefully a rare one then

[Meerakrishna]

Ramki,million thanks for 'idaya vasal thirandhupodu' song. Beautifully rendered by both spb and sj. I do have 'poongodiye poongodiye' and 'nee oru kodi', both the songs are very nice. but I never heard this 'idaya vasal' song. I love SJ's chweet voice. Looking for more sj rare songs.

Thanks in advance

Pick #367

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/sandhikka_vp.rm


Song: sandhikka thudithen
Movie: vedham pudhidhu
Singers : SJanaki, SPB
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
MD: Devendran

Bharathiraja has this habit, a bad on in that, of not picturising or excluding songs that were recorded for his films. Fabulous songs like malargaLe nadhaswarangaL to puthampudhu kaalai to dhoorathil naan kaNda mugam.
Todays pick is another one of those unfortunate songs that never made it to the screens. From the lyrics i suspect this could be another tune Devendran suggested for 'mandhiram sonnen vandhuvidu' situation.
VM' s beautiful lyrics make you visualise the picturisation. Especially after the lines
'gangaiyai thedi kaaviri nadanthu kalakka varuginradho' and with the swara background, you can visualise amala running through fields temples and aathangarais.
Pity such a good song was not used.

IMO VP was the last good film of BR. The film was biased but not crude like 'idhu namma aaLu'. The performance of sathyaraj, saritha and dasarathy made the film more interesting. Amala's was the weakest performance . She dubbed with her own voice, which brought down her acting score few points lower.
I rarely remember dialogues from films but the one line i remember from VP is the one spoken by the powerful voice of saritha
'endha koilukku ponaalum ellaa saamiyum onnuthe
endha veetukku ponaalum ellaa thaiyum onnuthe
uLLe vaa raasa'

I think kaNNan was the dialogue writer. His debut directorial venture 'amirtham' got some decent reviews.

[madhu]

Nice one Ramki

I heard this song before the release of VP and was expecting it throughout the movie...

(ada..padam mudinja piragu kooda oru vELai varumO appadinnu pArthEn..)mm.. even "mandhiram sonnEn" is not full in the film.. (BR likes to serve the good songs in instalments.. but sometimes he forgets to give some parts or ... even the complete set )

[yvsmani]

all the songs hosted recently are super songs...
nee oru kodi is an excellent one.
idaya vaasal endru paarthavudan PJ patto ena oru nimidam enninen..... naan intha padathai theatreil paarththen.... nalla velai appo naan chinna kuzhanthai..... enakku gyabagam iruppathellaam ..... nee azhaithathu pol oru gyabagam song thaan. mohan will sing the song in the train.
santhikka thudiththen is a great song by devendran.... koodiya seekiram mannukkul vairam songs varum ena ninaikiren.. :lol:

[jmahesh]

Hearing idhaya vasal after a long time.
I have also seen 'Thoongatha kannindru ondru'
and remember the story to an extent.
I think VK Ramasamy played Mohan's father role.
I also remember ascene where Mohan writes a letter to Ambika & she reads the lines 'Anbulla manaiviku' .Udanae Ambika mei marandhu kanavu duet pada arambithu viduvar.Is 'Idhaya Vasal'the song that follows this sequence?

[Ramki]

Thanks Madhu

Mani, i'm looking for one song from MV. 'ammadi idhu enne vidhi'(KJY,Chitra). Havent found it yet. I think the song was not in the film.
I'm also looking for 'kaalai neeye maalay neey' songs

JMahesh..it could be. gnabagam illai :(

Pick #368

Song: sevvanthiye nillu
Movie: ?
Singers : Mano, Minmini
Lyrics: ?
MD: ?

It was 1992. I was travelling with my family in an old ambassador car.We were travelling long distance and all of us were having fun. Suddenly todays song was played. It immediately caught my attention. The tune was catchy, the lyrics were good and i had never listened to it before. I was curious and asked the driver for details. He did not have a clue.
The song was played few times during the trip and i took a liking to it. After the trip i made a copy of the cassette. It was before 'chinna chinna aasai' happened, so minminis voice was not familiar to me. I assumed it as sindhus voice.

Since then i have tried to learn mot details but couldn't. My friends were not aware of this song, Radios never played this song(atleast the times when i listened).

If any of you have the details let me know .

I will also seek your help for the rest of the picks of this week.
Its going to be a week of unknowns.

This song is not from AUK.

I definitely had this song, but I can't find the CD :( Is it from "pavaLa kodi?" by any chance? I don't think that movie saw the light :)

[Nakeeran]

Mr. Ramki,

Can u pl post NINAIKUMBODHE THANAKKUL SIRIKUM MADHE

This is one song missed out by MGR in USV .

I picked it from Mr. Manisegaran's writeup on USV

I believe even IR composed 2 songs for MGR but never got released.

Can you unearth such rare songs also pls ?

[balaji]

Ramki Sir

Roja 92'il vandhadhu. Neega 13 years-a listen panreenga which means since 93. May be the song which came before Roja, could have been frequently played in 92? Is that possible?

Just kidding! Neenga illana Kattayam Illa than. May be Radio 6 was playing it. But sure I have heard this song as it used to remind me of Bappi-das 'Tere liye Main ana, Mere Liya tu bani' from Justice Chowdhry..

Bala

[Ramki]

Nakkeerar i will try..by i doubt if i will ever find them.
If anyone reading this page has those songs send them to me, i will host them

NeelD sent me this song. I have never listened to this one before. He did not have any other details. From the lyrics, i feel the song is sung by a Malayalam speaking girl.

[arunprasad]

Can I request veteran hubbers to post the link to the following song.

athamaga thangathukku enna mayakkam -
this was from the film thangamadi thangam.
ambika in a dual role with s.v.sekhar and direction by rama narayanan.
singers - p.suseela, malaysia vasudevan.
The film was released in the 80s and regularly found a place in ilangai vaanoli. It is a soothing themmangu.
The interlude is particularly melodious.
The film was the regular double act movie - refer vaani raani, enga veetu pillai. one of the twins is naive while the other is street smart. There was this scene about whipping the baddie ( i suppose this was pushpalatha).
This was one of the movies in which ambika played a double role. ( pei veedu and dhandanai are the others).
I would be thankful if anyone can send me this song or post the link.
THanks.

Prelude MSV song pola irundahalum, Interludes do not reflect his style. This is where many MDS fail, even Vk, SG, MKA, KJ Joy do not do full justice. This is not to say their songs do not have good interludes. IMHO they give reltaively less importance to interludes than you know WHO?

Please surprise us with more songs like these which keeps us wondering who the creators are!

Song: paaduven naan malarsuduven naan
Movie: ?
Singers : SJanaki

This is an excellent solo by SJanaki. Pity such good songs went almost unheard.

Does anyone have any clue which film the song is from? The interludes are IR-ish but it could be by GA too.

Pick #371

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/raagam_uk.rm


Song: raagam thaaLam iruvarin
Movie: ?
Singers : SPB, Chitra
Lyrics: ?
MD: ?


I hope this pick will fetch more responses than the previous selections.
I came across this song in one of SPB collections. The CD did not provide any song info.
This is a vibrant song by SPB and Chitra. The singers compete with each other in making the song more enjoyable.
From the sounds i believe this is an ealy 90s song.
From very little classical knowledge i have, i think the song is based on kalyani raagam.

Lyrics are good and i would bet its by VM.
The nayanam interludes are good but i didnt like the chorus.

Who could be the MD? Deva, VS, BB or a one time wonder?

[RR]

Ramki,

Both are good ones. 'paaduven' I think is Pantuvarali family. 'raagam thaalam' does sound like Kalyani.

[balaji]

I have seen this song in an Echo/Oriental Non_IR collection. The movie I believe it said was 'Kizakke Oru Kadhal Pattu' or something..

Is Gyan Verma the MD?

Thanks
Bala

[From Mars]

I believe It's Gyan Varma. Oriental CD has this song. This is is the only good song from that movie :)

Isn't Gyan is the one of guy of the of 'Manoj-Giyan'?

Who was the MD of 'oru iniya udhayam?' VK & Amala movie

[balaji]

Yes FM, Manoj-Gyan were the MD.
Had that Hindi-ish song 'Agayam ********** - anbE en anbE'...

*****-- Was that eninge? or enadi?

Bala

[Ramki]

Thanks RR.

Thanks Bala and FM for the info. I thought
VS is MD for "kizhakke oru kadhal"?

Song: ponguthe punnagai
Movie: ippadiyum oru peN
Singers : SPB, BVasantha
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Banumathi

Thanks SN23 for requesting this song.


'ippadiyum oru peN' is one of the 3 (?) films that had music by actress Banumathi.
Though the song is highly inspired from few hindi tunes(the starting is direct lift of 'kora kaagaz' song from aaradhana), it is still highly listenable. SPB is at his sweetest best and BV sounds almost like SJ.

'naane raadha kaNNa' is the other good song i remember from IOP.

I believe IOP had sivakumar, kumari Padmini and Banumathy.

[yvsmani]

A nice duet by SPB and vasantha. eppoluthu venum endraalum kettu konde irukkalaam.

[SN23]

Ramki Anna.... excellent duet that you hosted today. Mikka Nandri. I listened to it so many times but still fresh for me. BV is lovely in this song, may be her career-best-duet. Pity that she was branded as humming queen. I find a lot of flexibility in her voice and singing. Esp, in this song. PB has done good justice to her music direction.I saw the song in songs VCD collection. Kum.Padmini, one of the actresses acted in many films with Sivakumar. Excellent jodi poruththam.

Manorama has said in an interview that she had sung a song alongwith PB in IOP (Refer http://www.thehindu.com/2005/12/28/stories/2005122817820200.htm). But not mentioned which song it is.

[Naaz]

Ramki -

Evergreen duet! I also long to hear "Naane Raadha Kannaa" by Banumathy...it takes me back to those black & white Oliyum Oliyum evenings on ECTV!

If you have the PS-SPB duet "Oru Kaadhal Devathai, Iru Kannil Poo Mazhai, Ival Raja Vamsamo, Rathi Devi Amsamo" could you please feature it sometime? A song I've been craving to listen to for many, many years!

Song: athai maga thangathukku
Movie: thangamadi thangam
Singers : PSuseela, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: ?
MD: iLaiyaraja


When arunprasad requested this song, i had no clue about the song. Thanks to NeelD, i got a chance to listen to it and realised that i had listened to it few times before in ilangai vanoli.
Its a rustic duet by PS and MV. The song starts like a thalattu song but soon turns out to be a seductive one with some not so subtle lyrics(GA?). Surprisingly PS does a lot of giggling in the song(not that she is doing this for the first time).

Arunprasad mentioned in his post that TT had ambika in a dual role with SVSekar. Is the song picturised on SVS??? Hope not.

[balaji]

Ramki

Indha Paadal did get a fair share of playing. However PS and MV were very poor choices. Wait. Had SJ/SPB had sung, would it have been any better? Sorry do not think so.

Anyways, what was GA thinking?

Also the movie had one more hero, was that Adam/Albert??

The movie also had some PS solos. may be Kalai sir must have mentioned sometime ago

Thanks for the song arunprasad

Bala

[jmahesh]

Have heard this song long time ago and virtually lost from my memory.Thanks Ramki & Arunprasad for bringing this song back .

[arunprasad]

Ramki,
I cant thank you enough for uploading my song request. you have made my day.
The male lead featured in the song was a novice and thankfully not svs.

[vel1970]

Ramki... first I am listening to this TT duet. How many songs IR had created on this base folky tune. Mudhanai mudichu "velakku vecha" has the same base.

MV sounds too folky not gelling with PS who is quite apt. Lil konjal in 2nd half is sweet :-)

[vel1970]

SN: Pls bear with me for my comments on Pongudhe punnagai song. Kora ka (aradhana) song humming has been completely copied by Banumathi. SPB strains too much in this mediocre tuned song. Becomes better in charanams. BV sings as if it is for Kutty padmini not Kumari padmini :-)

[natha1729]

Ramki, super sir!!!! all forgotten because only ilangai oliparappu used to play this at the times!!!! the other Pongudhe Punnagai is another brought back from the forgotten corner stores of our memories!!!!

seems like this is never ending! i am also searching for an exciting duet from Kanni Theevi "idhu oru pudhu vidha.."

Thanks so much for the athai maga thangathakku

btw, dhool.com has featured another lost treasure from ilangai oliparappu currently

[natha1729]

it is muthu rathamo from ponnagaram (gem of a duet), which used to be played along with Ponvanile a KJY-Gangai Amaran song, which was similar to and played alongside "Ponnaram poovaram" the famous SPB song played always in ilangai oliparappu with Malai Sevannam fro Ilayaraajavin Rasikan. What a stream of nostalgia, even then!!!!

[yvsmani]

aththai maga thangathukku - ok song. seems like heard it often in radio.

Song: nee ninaithaal
Movie: nilave nee saatchi
Singers : MSViswanathan, LREswari
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: MSViswanathan

Couple of weeks back, Mahesh reminded me of this song. He pointed out the similarity between this and 'rambambam' .
Even though i had listened to this song before, i never saw the connection. I wouldnt say its exactly similar but close. I also read that rambambam was inspired from an english song. So both MSV and IR could have been inspired from same source.

inspiration or not todays song is a fun number . MSV sings in a different voice and LRE gives him full support in her own style.
I know NNS had KRV,Jaishankar and Ravichandran. Hopefully the song was not picturised on KRV. If it is then the song will also be fun to watch :roll:

[RC]

Ramki: Thanks for the song. I listened to this sometime last week and couldnt believe that it was MSV singing. In fact, I was planning to ask you to host this one.

Rare one. Was longing to listen to this - just like periyapps. MSV & LRE rock :thumbsup: But this is more of waltz. Rumbambam is clear rock 'n roll whose possible inspiration is Bill Haley Comets cult hit "Rock around the clock". (Check out a music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsolqP4tscI) of it - one of my favorites. Don't forget to watch the accompanyments :D )

[natha1729]

Ramki, from where are you getting these lost forgotten MMMMMMasterpieces? Superb song, just tells you unknown dimensions of MSV. I can see from where IR got total inspiration for the RumBUm song, which I used to think was an exciting IR original!

Thanks, Sir.

Lyrics: ?
MD: TRPappa

Starry night. You sit on the terrace with the radio on. Lots of noise around you. Honking car, blending mixer, whistling cooker, chirping crickets, shouting children. Then unexpectedly radio plays this song.
The soft breezy voice of SR will automatically shut all the surrounding noise and will force you to concentrate only on the song. Nothing else will distract you.
Such is the power of this sweet melody., one of the , no, IMO the best song by SR.
ETI had KRRamasamy, SSR, vijaykumari and Muthuraman. Though i have watched the film long long back on DD, I just remember this. Muthuraman played the father of SSR and KRR.
Casting can not get any more weird.
The film had one more good song 'uLLam thedaathe endru solludhe'(KRR, SJ).

Song: iru maangani pol
Movie: vairam
Singers : Jayalalitha, SPB
Lyrics: ?
MD: TRPappa


I'm not a fan of kozha kozha voice of Jayalalitha. This song is an exception. She tries real hard to match SPB's charismatic voice.

The song is a direct lift of 'kuch kehta hai saawan' from mera gaon mera desh(MD-Laxmikanth pyarelal). The original was sung by LathaM and MRafi. Rafi is SPB's idol. No wonder SPB wants to give his best.

I have no clue about this film vairam. Was it a remake of MGMD?. I know the original had Ashaparekh, dharmendra , vinod khanna etc. Who were the actors in tamil?

[RC]

I think Vairam had Jaishankar, Jayalalitha, Asokan and others in the cast. It was all about finding the diamonds located in a box(?) that lays in Jayalalitha's Carriage, I think. sariyaa gnabagam illai..

indha padam Jayalalitha-kkaagave Odichu-nu ninaikkiren..

[madhu]

Ramki..

I think vairam is the remake of "victoria no. 203" where the diamond is hidden in the lamp of a chariot..

some other songs I remember from the film are... "pArthen oru azhagi konjam pazhagi" by TMS and "idhu saavi pudhiya saavi idhan pootu enge konjam kaami".. "iravu muzhudhum virundhu vaikinren" by MRV

I remember the original heroine was "saira banu"

[balaji]

Nice song Ramki

This movie was based on 'Victoria NO 203" acted by Navin Nischol and Saira Banu. The song sequence in Tamil resembles the hindi Movie, though TRPapa could have been not impressed with Sonik-Omi song.

Nice movie in Hindi and was a big hit (was it Asokan in Jeevan's role?)

Bala

[poo]

I did see vairam. IT wasremake of VIctoria no. 203. Even though the duet singing pair was navin nischol and saira banu the real lead men were ashok kumar and pran.
I think there was ashokan in the tamil version. I do not rememberwho the other old man was.
Victoria no. 203 was based on some James Hadley Chase novel.

[SN23]

Ramki: Soolamangalam's best song (IMO) is pOi vaa magaLe. But in ETI song also, she excels. Very soft and gentle rendition.

Heard that Vairam was a super hit though it was a re-make. Ashokan played comedy villain role alongwith Srikanth. I saw a song sequence for Jayalalitha (solo by herself) mayakking Srikanth. J looked so hefty (in arai-kurai aadai) in front of Srikanth. I think her duet with PS in Thirumangalyam "Thirumangalyam koLLum murai illaiyO" was great, of course J's part was like musical dialogues and not complete song.

[Ramki]

Thanks everyone for the details. I didnt know
vairam is a popular film.

SN23 'poi vaa'is a good song but IMO her voice did not suit for NT

Unakkum Enakkum by SR is an inspired pick! Thanks for bringing it here! Idhaya Vaanil is also a lingering duet, although I wish the recordings of these songs was on par...but still a pleasure to listen to after many years. CB was a no-hype MD, and he did his work without getting caught up in the "numbers" game. This duet reminded me of another nice duet by SJ/SPB for CB: "Atho Vaanile Nila Oorvalam..." If I remember correctly, it was from "Thandanai"?

Song: sugam tharum nila ennai
Movie: sattam oru viLaiyattu
Singers : SPB, chitra
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan
MD: MSViswanathan

MSV, even at his sagging end of his career, never ceased to produce melodies like todays pick. And the lyrics. You have to listen to it to see how easily it flows from line to line. Nothing seems forced or unwanted. Lyricists like pulamaipithan should be recognised more and rewarded/awarded for their poetic talents.
SOV had another good sung 'oru brindhavanam engaL'(SPB,VJ,shobha chandrasekhar)

'SOV' is another product from SAC's 'revenge' theme factory. It had Vijaykanth, Radha, ravichandran, srividya etc. Actor vijay played the baalya VK's character in the film.
The irony (and the sad thing) is both are leading heroes now. VK is still singing duets in colorful costumes with heroines half and quarter his age. How he manages to be a hero for past 25 years will always be an unsolved mystery.

I acted in this film!

Now i have your attention :).
I was 7 or 8, i dont remember. Me and my mom were visiting our friends in virugambakkam. Towards the afternoon the area became real busy.Details are foggy but this is what i remember.
cars were piling up, cameras were pulled out. 'shooting edukkiraangaLaam' the phrase caught everyones attention and curiosity. We all walked to a schoolground , the shooting spot. Someone was making people to gather around a jaanvaasa car.We also joined.
The scene that was shot that day was the jaanvaasa car getting a flat tire. We were asked to shout 'aah'
after the tire bursts. I remember mahendran sitting in the car all dressed up like a mappiLLai. I remember KRVijaya arriving ready for the shot. She was heavily made up with a green madisaar pudavai etc.
This single shot was taken till late evening. I remember shouting 'aahh' few times :)
But i never got to watch this film :(
So if you ever get a chance to watch this film, look for a 8 yr old boy shouting aaaaah in the scene. That could be very well me :)

About the song. The pallavi is quite different .. i wonder if the tune was set to the lyrics of vice versa.
If it is viceversa then vaali has done a real good job as the sandhams are quite difficult.

Here is an interview with LRE from today's The Hindu.

[vel1970]

Nalla thamash ramki. I enjoyed reading your thalaikaattal episode in Thanikudithanam.

On the song... very very ordinary tune, except that T.Rajender's style of adukku mozhi used in stating pallavi. Another aspect to note that one of the handful number of duets of SPB & LRE.

I have seen this stage drama of 'Marina' group. One actress called Shoba acted in KRV's role. That was simply great compared to artificial acting of KRV. Aiyer bhashai was too far for KRV and she was a total wrong cast for the key role.

Singer: S.P.B & P.S.
Movie: ?
Music: ?
Can please post that song? if any one have? I guess Ramki might have it.

HI GB

I think the first line is..

"muthukkaL sindhi thithikkum mozhiyil kaNNE viLaiyAdu
sevvandhi poovin kannangaL meedhu chithira kOlamidu"

the film is "yArukku mapiLLai yArO"

[Ramki]

vel,
Other than Manorama, i dont think any other actor get the bhramnical accent right.


Jack, sorry i dont have that song. Regarding your inikkum iLamai song, you will have to wait one more week. This week i have planned for a
different special :)

Pick #380

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kurumbinilum_mm.rm


Song: kurumbinilum oru ezhil thondrum
Movie: manithan maaravillai
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Ghantasala

This is one of the few songs where the remake version sounds much better than the original. Lyrics wise, music wise and voice.
Esp voice. Though suseela also sang the original (film guntamma kadha), she is at her best in the tamil version. kuralil kuzhaivu, gambeeram, bhakthi, paasam ellaam kalandhu paadirupaar.
(Listen to the original at http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/27/s/movie_name.6011/music_director.822)


I have seen the original , which had NTR,savithri, Jamuna etc. Film had some good songs including
'inbamaana iravidhuve'(ALR/PS),
'kadhal yathiraikku'(ALR/PS),
'thendral paadavum'(PS)

etc

P.S: Some of us will celebrate(including me) gokulashtami/krishna jayanthi/sri jayanthi on 15th sep. So i plan to make this week 'kaNNan' week. Hope you will all like my selections.

[jn]

Ramki: Excellent choice. Lyrics, PS's kuzhaivaana voice and picturisation are very good.
By listening to this song wihtout watching it, I thought a mother is singing it for her child. But I was surprised to watch Savithiri (looks so beautiful), sings it for Gemini who enjoys the song though he pretends to be angry. :)
I enjoy this song every time I listen to it. :)

Thanks Ramki,
I am waiting for it. Also, i wish to see your weekly special.

[vel1970]

Ramki: Perfect your narration on PS song. Apt Gambeeram + Midhamana uNarvu + Thigattadha sweetness in voice + above all that crystal clear words. There is no replacement yet for her. After reading posts of Jn and Madhu, I could imagine how Savithri and GG would have acted. Savithri has that charm in her face with beautiful eys. She must have enjoyed acting for this song.

To surprise you, this is the first time I am hearing this song.

Hey, how about Sowcar Janaki for Aiyer bhashai? She is damn good in pronounciation... nannaa irukkumOliyO :lol:

Pick #381

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/oh_aok.rm



Song: oh krishna prabhu
Movie: avaL oru kaaviyam
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: VKumar

Another nice song with melody enhancement by PSuseelas voice and rendition.

Thanks to DD, i got to watch obscurities like AOK. It had Jaiganesh, Sumithra and Savithri. I think this was NT's
last film. She played JG's mother and had a better role than the ones she had in petra manam pithu etc.
In fact the avaL in the title referred to savithris character..yes she dies in the climax and becomes a kaviyam.
Todays song is picturised on Sumithra.

[RR]

Nice one, but seems inspired by Lata's 'nanda nandana' meera bhajan.

[gingerbeehk]

Nice one. I thought this song composed by M.S.V. now only i know it is by V.Kumar. Thanks for good song and informations.

[yvsmani]

good rendition by PS and soft music by Vkumar enhances this song.

[Ramki]

Thank you guys :)

[Ramki]

Pick #382

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kaatrinile_ror.rm



Song: kaatrinile varum geetham
Movie: rasigan oru rasigai
Singer : Vani Jairam
Lyrics: pulamaipithan
MD: Ravindran

One of my favorite Vani jairam solos and the only one(?) song she sang for Ravindran in tamil. She begins the song with her gambeera aalabanai and continues the song with same vigor throughout. Except for the abaswara drums , the interludes are good too. Do not miss the musical piece at the end of the song.

ROR was discussed in detail when another song was hosted in POW.

[vel1970]

Ramki, the humming part before reaching pallavi is very special in Krishna prabhu song. I never heard about this film at all. Such a good song wasted in unknown film (at least to me)

VJ super in ROR song. Aalab is the greatest part of the song. Thank you a lot

[RR]

This song is in Nattai raga (no surprise if you were reminded of 'mahaganapathim' alapana and this).

Ramki,
the previous ROR song we hosted is here (http://www.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?p=78935#78935).

[tvsankar]

Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the rare gem.Nice rendition by VJ.The violin piece is so Great.

Dear RR,
Thanks for the lilnk. Katrinilae padalil konjam thilang aiyum feel pannugiren.

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

[Neel D]

Beautiful song kARRinilE. Thanks Ramki.

If I remember correctly, VJ may have sung a song in Laksmi Vanthachu, composed by Raveendran. But I have never heard the song. Does anyone know if there is one?

[Ramki]

Vel, My pleasure

RR and Usha shankar thanks for the details.

NeelD, im not aware of her song in LV but i think she sang for Padmini in 'thaaye neeye thunai'. I think its a duet with Chitra.

[Ramki]

Pick #383

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kannan_kv.rm



Song: kaNNan varuvaan indru
Movie: kaNNan varuvaan
Singers : Jikki, PSuseela
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

A rare duet by the TFM veterans. Though jikkis voice shows her age, she still sounds good. PS , as always, is in best form.
I think the song is picturised on Lakshmi (PS)and venniradai Nirmala(Jikki). Jaishankar was the hero.

I have no other details. 'Poovinum melliya poongodi' is another popular song from KV.

[jn]

Ramki: Nice treats for Sri jayanthi. :)
KaaRRinile varum geetham is one of my favourite songs where VJ is at her best. :) Thanks.

[From Mars]

Jn kula deivathai maathitaangaLa? :)

I'm not aware of any VJ song in LV.

[Naaz]

Ramki -

Kurumbinilum is a lovely solo in which PS sounds young and pure. A fine choice to begin the Kannan Week!
Kaatrinile Varum Geetham is one of Raveendran's stellar compositions (I prefer it to Aezhisai Geethamae, which got more air-time) and VJ renders it impeccably. Regarding your "abaswaram drums" comment: This solo is the opening titles song (Ambika as Karnatak singer a la Sri Vidya and Aezhuswarangal in AR) and that "tonal" ("konal"?) shift in the orchestra is when "Nadanam"Saleem or "Publicity": Elegant is flashed on the screen....or was it Stunts and Stills? :D And that's the context for the jarring bit in the interlude...Being a titles track, I don't believe this song was featured on any of the song-clips shows on DD.

Great week, and great going!

[vel1970]

Jikki romba kashta padraanga. But trying to manage.

Ramki, is there any problem at the end of the song. Suddenly it stops and begins again with a bit by Jikki. Any tech snag (airlines language)?

[Ramki]

Thanks everyone :)

Vel- the song was transferred from a cassette
and it is this way in the cassette too.

[Ramki]

Pick #384

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/maalai_ii.rm



Song: maalai mayanginaal
Movie: inikkum iLamai
Singers : PBSrinivas, SPShailaja
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

PBS is one of the popular singers whose career went downswing after the entry of singers like SPB, KJY, JC etc. His voice was best suitable for soft characters played by Gemini Ganesan, Kalyan kumar etc. With the advent of angry heroes in the 70s his voice did not find any use with our MDs.
His only tryst with IR 'thendrale nee pesu' did not find many listeners.
How many songs did he even sing in 70's?
'Inikkum iLamai' had Sudhakar, Radhika and Vijaykanth. I believe its VK's first film.
Im not sure if LRE solo inikkum iLamai ennidam irukku is from this film.

[madhu]

Hi Ramki..

anyway PBS was giving his best.. reminding me of "kaatru vandhal thalai saayum" song :)
BTW "Inikkum iLamai enndiam irukku" is by VJ from the same film.

[ShankarV69]

VK's first film is "Dhoorathu Idi Muzhakam"

Shankar

[RR]

I guess 'engengum un vannam' is also in 70's.

[gingerbeehk]

Thanks ramki,
You did what you promissed. I really appreciate your effort. Yes..you are correct.."Inikkum Ilamai" is first movie for Vijaya Kanth. As Madhu said, the other nice songs in that movie "Inikkum Ilami" sung by VJ.

RR, "Engengum Ponvannam" also on 70's movie name: "Kannamma". So nice one of PBS. That song also composed by Shakar-Ganesh.

Jack

[Naaz]

Ramki -

This one is rare for sure! I don't think I've heard this since the film's release! (was it in the film, btw?) The interlude traces one of MSV's MGR hits...any clues?
Besides the title song (Inikkum Ilamai) there was another duet I recall: "Maanaamadhuraiyile Maanthoppu Maththiyile..."(MVD/SPS or SJ?) This film was directed by M.A. Kaajaa, yes?

[yvsmani]

kaatrinilae one of VJ's best songs.... ROV - all he songs are treat for ears. thanks to Ravindran.
LV enakku gyabagam iruppathellaam kaathal vennilaa matrum revathy and arunthathi pattu....
maalai mayanginaal SPSin kuralilum oru ilamai irukku. rare combination of singers.... compared to thendralae nee pesu where I could find PBS struggling to sing the song, PBS sings this song very well.

[Ramki]

Madhu thanks for the correction.

Naaz, i too think its by Kaja.

[Ramki]

Pick #385

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/aanandha_at.rm



Song: aanandha veLLathile
Movie: aagaya thamaraigaL
Singers : SPShailaja , Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: Muthulingam
MD: Gangai Amaran

Another good song with SPShailaja's cute voice. MV too sings well. I love the starting piece.
MV and SPS has not many melodious duets together. They have sung more dappankuthu songs than such pleasing numbers.

AT had Revathi, sathyaraj and Suresh. Other than this i do not have much details on this film.

Btw this is not a Shailaja week :)

[From Mars]

SPShailaja's cute voice :) You must be joking :)

[yvsmani]

an average song..... neither voice nor music is impressive..... sorry for the comments.....

[gingerbeehk]

Is any one having following song? if so pls post. I am searching so longtime this nice song.

Song: IDHO EN KATHALI KANMANI
Movie: SOUNTHARYAME VARUGA..VARUGA..
Music: ??

Jack

[INIYAN 07]

I am new to this forum but has been closely following up all the songs featured.
Anantha vellathile is a nice song and remembered watching the movie schooling time .
By the way has been searcing for long songs from Athisaya Piravigal which starred Prabhu, Karthik, RAdha and Rajalakshmi. All the songs were good but I can only remember "Mogam Ennakoru Ragam Mutham Athil oru talam".

[Ramki]

FM,
Compare to current female singers, SPS voice is more than cute :).

Mani thanks for your honest comments.

Iniyan, i do not have that song :(

[Ramki]

Pick #386

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/aasai_mmp.rm



Song: aasai nenjin kanavugaL
Movie: mugathil mugam paarkalaam
Singers : Malaysia Vasudevan, PSuseela
Lyrics: ?
MD: iLaiyaraja

Another Song thats shows why IR was the most sought out MD of 70s and 80s. The orchestration , tune and structure has his stamp all over it.
PS and MV have sung very few songs together. 'azhage unnai',
'kanni ponnu kai mele', 'thennankeetrum', 'mappiLLaikkum' etc are some other hits by this combination.
Todays pick is another good melody by them.
MMP had vijaykumar and Sumithra. 'akka oru rajathi'(JC,Jency) is another good song from MMP.
Any other good song?

[Nakeeran]

Asainenjin kanavugal :D

Superb pick Mr.Ramki :D

Veena, guitar & everything was present ! Very lengthy preludes & interludes, typical of Raja !

The rhythm had shades of Kurinji malarin vazindha rasathai but I always enjoy MV songs .

Yeah, this song had a rare combination of MV- PS !

Thanks for the excellent pick. :D

[Neel D]

Asai nenjin is a sweet song. Haven't heard in a long time. Thanks Ramki. BTW, could you also add "Year" to the song statistics when available?

[yvsmani]

I think 'aasai nenjin' had more airtime than 'akka oru rajaththi ava azhagha sirichchu naal achchu'. I think most of the songs in 'paayum puli' are by MV and PS.

[madhu]

Ramki..

MMP had sudhakar and radhika too..
(kizhakke pogum rayilil eri maerke poi vittar appadinnu heading koduthu radhikavin swimsuit poster pathi comment koduthadhu kumudham)

indha song picturised on which pair ?

[Ramki]

Thanks Nakkeeran.

NeelD, including the year in the stats is a good idea. But i have to depend on websites to get that info.

Madhu no clue on the actors who appeared in this song. Regarding the swimsuit comment, wasnt that for inikkum iLamai film?

[Ramki]

Pick #387

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/sendhoor_s.rm



Song: sendhoor murugan kovilile
Movie: Shanthi
Singers : PSuseela , PBSrinivas
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Viswanathan-Ramamurthy
Year : 1965.

This is a rare song, Rare in compostion , execution and delivery.
Each time i listen to it, i admire the writings of kannadasan. I have not seen shanthi but i know the premise of the song. The heroine is blind. Her blindness delays her marriage. Finally she gets married to someone who is not told about her condition
He leaves her without consummating his marriage.
They then exchange letters. She seeks her friend's assistance to write letters for her.
(Please correct me If i got the situation wrong)

Very subtly, Kannadasan expresses the anguish of the heroine.

'oorvalam ponavan oariru vaaram
pogamal nindranadi
vaaramal vandhavan paavai udalai
seraamal sendraanadi'

letter reaches him and he sings her lines and not his own . This makes the song more real and unique.

This Bhimsingh film had sivaji,SSR, vijayakumari and Devika. VR combo came out with outstanding songs for this film
'yaar andha nilavu 'and 'nenjathile nee netru vandhai' were trendsetters.
'oorengum maapiLLai oorvalam' and 'vaazhndhu paarkavendrum ' are other good numbers.
There is also a PS solo version of todays pick.

Shanthi was remade in hindi as 'gowri 'with Nutan, sunildutt, sanjeev kumar and mumtaz

[madhu]

Madhu no clue on the actors who appeared in this song. Regarding the swimsuit comment, wasnt that for inikkum iLamai film?

its in one of my kizhichu bind senja thodarkadhai of kumudham..
its for this film only..

[RR]

Ramki,

Good songs, no doubt. I saw the movie long time ago and liked it. Sivaji will act as the husband, but SSR will return only to find his pal Sivaji there. Appadi pogum kathai (I think).


ts in one of my kizhichu bind senja thodarkadhai of kumudham..

Pick #388

Song: naaL nalla naaL
Movie: paNakkaara peN
Singers : TMSoundararajan, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: Vkumar
Year : 1976.


One of the songs that always reminds me the ungaL viruppam days of 70s and 80s. This was a popular number in radio and i remember it playing just after the opening music of ungaL viruppam music in the 8.15-9.30 slot.

TMS and VJ has sung very few songs together. When VJ made her entry in TFM, TMS was slowly fading away from the scene. Neverthless they have given some good numbers together.

What are your favorite TMS-VJ duets? Post it here.If i have them i will host them. Lets make this a TMS-VJ week.

[madhu]

TMS-VJ... mm.. nostalgic..

1) Ah sugam sugam idhu.. - pAdha poojai
2) ethanai malargaL enthanai niRngaL .. oru nadigai nAdagam pArkiRAL
3) ilangaiyin iLam kuyil - Pilot Premnath
4) ponmana chemmaalai - sirithu vazha vendum

[Naaz]

Ramki -

Naal Nalla Naal....classic VJ-TMS duet! I remember seeing this film at Lakshmi Talkies, Amainthakarai!

My requests would be:
1.Ammaanai Azhagumigu Kannmaanai
2.Muththamizh Sandhangal
3.Raajadhi Raajanukku Raani Maele Kaadhaladi
4.Pudavaikattikkondu Poovondru Aaduthu
5.Aandavanillaa Ulagamedhu

I could go on!

Any or all of the above should also be fine examples of the 70s/80s.
While VJ-TMS are a treat, I think we will definitely have the grandeur of some fine MSV/KVM tunes! :D

[balaji]

2 more TMS-VJ Duets
1. Chozanin Magale Vaa - Nehukku Needhi - SG
2. Oru Paarvai Nooru - Manoranjitham - VKumar

Bala

[natha1729]

another truly Great composition of one rare "melodious maker" V.Kumar.

[Neel D]

Ramki,

Thanks for TMS-VJ week and for adding the Year. It is going to be wonderful week. Of course, I am biased.

I would love to listen to TMS-VJ song all week. But may I request that you feature a Padmini song today? Thanks.

[jn]

Ramki: naaL nalla naaL kEttu romba naaLaachi. :)
Actors yaar? Jayachithra and jeyshankar?
I get confused with kalyanamaam kalyanam movie..
adhilum same jodi? ellaame marandhu poyiruchi. :(

MD: iLaiyaraja
Year : 1986.


peroLiyai izhandhu kaariruLaaga nirkkiradhu kalai vaanam.
A sad day for all film lovers. The Most beautiful actress ever , passed away today. Padminis grace and talents are unmatchable. She had immense following not only within India but countries like Russia and africa too. Soviet union even released a stamp in her honour. Such was her popularity.

There are numerous good songs of Padmini. I chose todays pick for its situation and mood. Thaikku oru thalattu was her last film with her favorite hero nadigar thilagam. There could never be another pair like them in our screens. its mighty sad that both these talents are not with us anymore.


Remaing picks of this week will be padmini songs.
Let me know your favorites. I will try to host as many as i can.

are some of the songs that come into mind imme.

[madhu]

Ramki..

is it possible to have some rare songs from the old films of Padmini
like "maragadham", "kodeeswaran", "rajarani" etc.. ?

[Nakeeran]

Ramki ,

Shivaji- Padmini duet could be ideal , the best ever pair of TFM arguably

1. Anbe amudhe arumkaniye
2. Ulangal ondragi kollum bodhile
3. Mullai malar mele :D
4. Anbale pesiya en arivu thangam

Also :

1. Unzagai kanniyargal sonnadhinale
2. Mannika vendugiren
3. Mannavan vandhanadee thozi :D

Vanji kotai V - Kannum kannum kalandhu
Vennilave vennilave

4. kannoonjalaadinaaL kaanchana maalai - vietnam veedu. All songs are good in this movie.
5. vinnodum mugilodum - pudhaiyal
6. azhagu dheyvam mella mella - pEsum dheyvam
7. paththu maadam sumakkavillai - pEsum dheyvam
8. nilavenna pEsum - rani samyuktha
Almost all her dance songs...
List may go on...

[Neel D]

"koduththavanE paRiththu koNdANdi" from Thangapathumai has Padmini speaking the lines in the middle of the song. Do you have it Ramki?

[balaji]

Ramki

Padmini's azhugai songs vendame (Neel D nothing against your choice). Let us remember her, by her zestful portyals in movies...

Somehow when some one dies, the idea that we should mourn does not jell well with me particularly if the person has lived a good complete life.

Padmini had a remarkable presence in NJ's cultural life

Thanks Ramki for your felicitations

Bala

[Ramki]

Since the requests are diverse and tastes are varied, i will chose songs that hopefully will satisy all of you.

Digression, Indigalitz had pictures of film personalities paying tributes to Padmini. Couple of pictures show Music director ganesh(shankar) and few others taking pictures of Padmini's dead body with their cell phones. Isn't that just rude?

Pick #390

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/en_tp.rm



Song: en vaazhvil puthu pathai
Movie: thanga pathumai
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: pattukottai kalyanasundaram
MD: Viswanathan Ramamurthy
Year : 1959.


A joyful song by PS for the beautiful looking Padmini. Various singers have given voice for Padmini but PS voice fit her best. That said can we list the singers who have given voice for padmini?
I know MLV, PLeela, Jikki, balasaraswathi, SJanaki(only one song?), vani jairam have sung for Padmini. Who are the other singers?
Are there any songs by JR or LRE for padmini?

[madhu]

I think Padmini had 2 songs by SJ..
Radha Jayalakshmi in maragatham...
what about the song "vAzhndhu pArpOm rA naina" by LRE in edhirkAlam..? is it not for padmini ?

then.. some singer for "vAsamuLla poo paRippEnE" dance in "vEdhALa ulagam"

The star of the stars have passed away from Thirai vaanam. Irreplacable actress. She was one of the top 10 beautiful females that I ave seen. Same things said by Sivaji?

Though she passed away, she was in the limelight till end and lived a magestic life. I don't know whether any other actress of TFilms had that respect from film world even after several years of her retirement.

Ramki, one of the powerful songs for Padmini (with great lyrics) is Oruvanukku oruthi yendru. Irukkaa?

Song: kalaiyodu kalanthathu
Movie: mannathi mannan
Singer : MLVasanthakumari
Lyrics: kaNNadasan?
MD: Viswanathan Ramamurthy
Year : 1960.

Thanks rra and others for reminding this song. I have not watched MM but i have heard the dance by padmini for this song was the highlight of the film.
MLV gave voice for padmini in padminis first film as heroine 'manamagaL'. Her voice was as fresh as padminis face in manamagaL. In todays pick i can feel a strain in her voice especially in the higher scales. Its a difficult song to sing anyways.
What are the other songs by MLV for pappi? I know she sang couple of songs in thanga padhumai . Others?

[RR]

Ramki

Yes, tough hi-pitched song. I think it's in Suddha Dhanyasi.

Classic MLV-for-Padmini song: 'aadaatha manamum undo'. (Another toughie!)

[rra]

Ramki: AAdum Arul Jothi from Meenda Sorgam is another classic sung by MLV for padmini's dance, I suppose (I have not "seen" the song!. Music by Chalapathi Rao
BTW, can someone clarify who has sung "Manjalum Thandaal" from Thenum Paalum??? Thanks and regards

Thanks for the beautiful Padmini songs Ramki. As cliched as it sounds, there was no actress like Padmini before her and there won't be one after. Padmini was the only one who could do justice to the characters Mohanambal and Vellaiyammal. Danseuse, beautiful, graceful and confident. Mohanambal and Vellaiyammal are permanently etched in my memory only because of Padmini.

Song: ithazh irandum
Movie: Rani Samyuktha
Singers : APKomala, TMSoundararajan
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: KVMahadevan
Year : 1962.


My friend reminded me of this song. A non-PS song for padmini was a rare occurence in 1960's .
I first listened to this song few years back in oli. I was not aware of the detail. Sathya kabali gave me the info here

http://www.tfmpage.com/forum/11749.oldsongs.html.

I was surprised to learn that the song was from a MGR film.
Padmini and MGR acted together in 10-12 films?
Madhurai veeran, mannadhi mannan, raja desing, rickshawkaaran...and?

Well i hope this is a rare song:)

[madhu]

Ramki..

yes.. In this film even Jamuna rani sings a song for Padmini
you have to change the details...
its still showing "mannadhi mannan".

Seekazhi Govindarajan and AP Komala sing for MGR and Padmini in Rajarajan... tha popular "nilavOdu van mugil viLaiyAduthE" !

[madhu]

raja desingu ?

[jn]

"VarugiRaal ummai thedi" by MLV in "thanga padhumai" - Is it for pathmini?

One more question:
1.Mullai malar kaadu
engaL mannavar than naadu....from rani samyuktha..
2. kaaLai varuvadhaRkuL kanni bali aavadhaRkuL ..from the same movie.
Who is the singer? Thanks in advance. :)

[vel1970]

Ramki: I got oruvanukku oruthi endu song. Shall I send? If yes, whats ur mail-id?

I started listening to APKomala song with genuine interest. But oh... sOham.. With due to respect to APK, I would say she straine herself too much to complete the song. When she sings "pudhiya kaalam pirandhadendru" abaswara kOlam.

Whereas MLV song is great. I was told that Padmini dances (forced to dance by PS Veerappa) for this song. Really feel like watching the movie, at least for Padmini.

Singers : TM Soundararajan, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MS Viswanathan
Year : 1978

This song is one of Madhus request and my favorite number too. The song was a regular in vividh bharathi during the late 70s. IMO, the song was the only good thing about this movie. It was a typical sivaji film. A rich, silk lungi wearing, pipe smoking sivaji , father of few adults, reads a letter from his late wife that one of his child is not his. He immediately suspects his wife's fidelity and starts singing 'who is the black sheep' and doubts each and every one of his kid. Three of them i guess. Vijaykumar, Jaiganesh and sridevi. Finally he learns that the blind sridevi is the black ewe(female sheep?:) ) and she was adopted by his wife(or something like that).
A srilankan actress malini fonseka was paired with Sivaji.
'azhagi oruthi iLani' is a foottapping number from PP. There was also a anniversary-bday song by a group of singers..cant remember the lines.
Todays song is picturised on Sivaji and MF. The locations were splendid. I guess it was picturised in Colombo.

thanks ..
the b-day song is "kOpi thotta modhalALikku kozhumbulathAne kalyANam"
