Our final selection from Maya Kuthirai is a nice duet. The couple seems to sing happily but the song sounds sad.

nAn nIrOdaiyil (Oru Kai Osai)
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/pow07/images/orukaiosai.jpg
Pick #985
Song: nAn nIrOdaiyil
Film: Oru Kai Osai
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Lyrics: One of (Muthulingam, Chidambaranathan, Viswam, Bhairavi)
Singer: S.Janaki
Year: 1980
A very sensuous song picturized on the very conservative Asvini. Oru Kai Osai was probably the only outing in Tamil for Asvini in which she could tease her love interest, sing a duet with the hero, get wet in the rain and show her fun side instead of moping around throughout the film.
SJ never disappoints in such songs and she keeps it very clean in this one. MSV, always the genius, comes up with the tune to fit the theme. The lyricist comes up with romantic lyrics that would make anyone feel shy when heard at the right moment. :wink:

anbE enthan munnAlE (Aravalli)
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/pow07/images/aravalli.jpg
Pick #986
Song: anbE enthan munnAlE
Film: Aravalli
Music: G.Ramanathan
Lyrics: One of (A.Maruthakasai, Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram, Villiputhan)
Singers: Jikki, A.M.Raja
Year: 1957
Nice song!
Aravalli produced by Modern Theaters starred S.G.Eshwar, Mynavathi, G.Varalakshmi, V.Gopalakrishnan, M.S.Draupadhi and others. The story is about a queen named Aravalli, played by G.Varalakshmi, who runs an alli rajyam where men are treated as slaves and with disrespect. Aravalli's daughter Alangaravalli, played by Mynavathi, is in love with Allimuthu, played by S.G.Eshwar, who rebels against Aravalli.
Who is this S.G.Eshwar anyway? Tall, masculine and goodlooking but never to be seen again. Mynavathi, sister of Pandari Bai, was in a few other Tamil films. G.Varalakshmi, the maid of constant sorrow, cried an ocean in films like Harichandira and Nalla Thangaal, for a change gets to play an arrogant woman in Aravalli.
Today's pick was picturized on the handsome S.G.Eshwar and the adorable Mynavathi.
