Pick #605
Song: pudichchAlum pudichchEn
Film: Rajathanthiram
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singers: S.Janaki, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: One of (Pulamaipithan, Muthulingam, Idhayachandran)
Year: 1984
Today's pick is a nice duet with a strong 1980s MSV flavor. MSV composed similar folkish classicalish mixturish type songs for a few movies in the early to mid 80s. The male voice's cleaner lyrics are for a prince. The female voice's colloquial songlines are for his love interest who is a street entertainer. Sounds like the lyricist went overboard trying to be streetish here.
Other songs in the film are:
Attam pOduthu - SJ (street dancer song)
dhIm thana thOm - VJ (item number)
ettu thikkum - SPB (a disco song popular during its days)
