Ramki, thanks! :)
Bandha paasam: Ramki, I too felt that SJ (Devika) sang in very low tone. In her solos, it would not be evident, but it is very much felt in female duets (60s and 70s). The singing lacked the basic bhavam, IMHO. But still a good song. My picks are 'idhazh mottu virindhida' (PBS,PS) and 'kavalaigaL kidakattum' (TMS,PBS). TMS sang very well in Kavalaigal song.
Naam pirandha mann is a A.Vincent/D.Yoganand combination film??. Completely confused story line, though the acting skills of Sivaji, "Meendum" Gemini, KRV & Fatafat were brilliant. Kamal over-acted for that adangadha magan role. Never it was inspiring. Reena (Tirisoolam fame; introduced in AvaL oru thodarkadhai with name Vinodhini) acted in miniature role as English Durai’s wife.
Music was very average, to my ears, though PS+VJ duet was interesting in terms of kongu thamizh (??) usage of words.
NPM had two more songs, if am correct
1. Annai bhagavadhikku thannai koduthu vittu (PS solo for KRV). Reena stands near KRV, while she sings the song; looking at Amman’s face, Reena she gets thrilled to see KRV’s face on Amman’s roopam. But this feel of Reena was not used anywhere in the movie.
2. Aasai pOvadhu vinnilE (SPB for Kamalahasan). Ok sort of song.
To some extend, the storyline of NPM was Xeroxed for “Indian” (Kamal/Shankar combination)
NPM- Might be just a tweak of "Mother India" .
"aasai povadhu viNNile" is a formulaic song where the charanam is just follows the same tune of pallavi with a slight tonic shift. If one gives the pallavi starting line and charanam starting line, the entire song can be completed.Is the SJ solo "ninaivi thorum neenda naatkal vaazhuven" also from NPM?
Ramki, many thanks for "oorvasi menagai" . It used to be mine and my sister's fav song to sing . Even without listening to it, I could recollect the entire pallavi. It was not a hit, yet songs like this one, "ore mugam nilaa mugam", "poonthottam", "maalai iLa manadhin aasai" etc were more dearer to me than the super hit songs like "ennadi meenakshi" etc.
PuNNiya Bhoomi (Sivaji in dual role, Vanisree, Y.Vijaya) was the box-office-bomb re-make of Mother India. SJ's Ninaivu pOdhum is also from PuNNIya Bhoomi only (MSV MD).
Ramki: thanks for this nice one by PS and VJ.
I forgot the story line...but I remember Gemini returning back to visit Sivaji after a long time. Gemini's eye sight is lost and Sivaji and KRV will try to hide their poverty from gemini...
SN23: thanks for info on the ninaivu pOdhum neenda naatkaL vaazhuven... I was asking around for the movie of this song...
Ramki, Pls host if you find it.
SN23 thank you for all the details.
Thumburu 'ore mugam'??Which movie?
JN will do :)
Pick #221
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/ponne_min.rm
Song: ponne boomiyadi
Film: manidharil ithanai nirangaLaa
Singers : SJanaki, VaniJairam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: Shyam
By now you might be wondering whats all with female duets. I'm kind of trying something here. Hope you will all like it.
'poNNe boomiyadi' and 'indha peNNodu' are the only duets by SJ and VJ(that i know of). I already hosted 'indha peNNodu'.
So we have ponne boomiyadi for today. A beautiful song by Shyam.
He might have chosen the best singers of 70s thinking they will be picturised on two leading heroines. Well the song was for Sridevi and Manorama. Since sri was the stalwart here , she will lip sync most of the song. Which means she will lip sync to both sj and vj's voice(and so will Mano). It will be really hilarious to see the voice change for every few seconds:).
The other good song is 'mazhai tharumo en megam' for ??? and sridevi.
Did kamal have any song in this film?
Can anyone guess the next pick?
Ramki
Nice Song!
Isn't there a Mallu version with the same singers? Also didn't SJ & VJ have a ladai during the recording of this song?
Next possible songs
a. Kannadi amma un Idhayam - Padha Poojai - PS/VJ
b. Idho Idho En Nenjilie -- Vattathukul Sadhuram - SJ/BSS
Bala
Ramki
'mazhai tharumo' was for Murali Mohan (who will lip out-of-sync for this song).
I know one song for Kamal: 'maamaa.. manasu innikku nallaale' (in full 'thaNNi', and in raj-kiran 'getup').
I saw the movie in a 'tent kottagai' theatre. Strangely I remember only the picturisations of these 3 songs, and nothing else about the movie!
Ramki, one of the beautiful female duets in TFM. As you said, most of the lines are for Sridevi and Manorama gets confined to adhu sari adhu sari and few more like ninini nijamadi nijamdi...
Ramki, mazhai tharumO is for MuraLi Mohan (Telugu actor). Humming by SPS for Sridevi??
I think there is one song by MVD for Kamal (starting line....??)
SJ+VJ sang 3 more songs apart from your 2.
1. From 24 mani neram. "Kalloori mANavarA" (For NaLini and ??)
2. From Thanga Magan. "MachAna pAradi machamuLLa ALadi"(SJ for PoorNima Jayaram and VJ for Silk Smitha)
3. From Aruvadai nAL: "ChinnapoNNu" for Prabhu(MVD), Pallavi(SJ) and Raasi (VJ)
As you have aired duets among PS, VJ and SJ, my guess your next will be the one and only Triplet combination of PS+VJ+SJ from pondAtti Sonna kEttukkaNum (VandhaLe....), Honour by Chandrabose. Here too that gOlmAl of singer for actress. Song starts with SJ for Bhanupriya, then by VJ for Devisri and then PS for Kovai SaraLa. But in charanam, PS sings for BP and SJ for KS. ConfusionO Confusion :-)
