Pick #1101
Song: ganggai nathi Oram
Film: Varaprasadam
Music: R.Govardhanam
Singers: K.J.Yesudas, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1976
In the 1960s Ravichandran was a breath of fresh air. Tamil cinema really needed it. All the other leading men of the time were well into their thirties or forties, had found their niche and had become predictable. That is when the industry discovered pretty boys like Ravichandran, Sivakumar, and AVM Rajan, and of course the man of action Jaishankar, all in their twenties in the prime of youth. When I watch Ravichandran in Kadhalikka Neramillai I can't help but think that he was our own James Dean. Viswanathan Velai Venum... Adorable!
Today's pick is a very popular song but from the very end of Ravichandran's lead man career. Years after this he reinvented himself and resurfaced playing supporting roles in a successful second phase of his acting career.
