Ramki, I am not sure if you have already hosted this one. But do you have "gangai nadhi meeno" from Nyayam by IR? Its been ages since I have listened to the song anywhere and I remember it being a decent one. If you think its noteworthy, please consider it for a future pick.
Ramki,
now I have recollected the movie name, It's 'adhipadhi' [Sivaji Raja]. I wouldn't call it as a great song, but it's by KJY, that's good enough for me:) Yesterday I was looking for my resume, then found the KJY song list, it's about 800+, lets say the total could be 1000. mmmm out of 40000 songs that he sang, only 1000 in Tamil??
is it 'ponnai pOla aatha' or 'unnai pOla aatha'? I always confuse about it.
thumbru,
I notice traces of 'rojavai thalattum thendral' in 'veLLai nirathoru' . Are they based on same scale or raaga?
vijayr, I do have 'gangai nadhi'. Will host it soon. But i thought 'nyayam' is by GA?
FM 'adhipathi'?:))
Pick #167

Song: konjum malar manjam
Film: Janani
Singers : SPB, Vani Jairam
Lyrics:Nethaji
Music: MSViswanathan
One of MSV's best from late 80's. IMO, the song has very difficult sandhams . The pallavi and saranam are so intricately related that if you listen to them seperately you might think they are from different songs.
I have a feeling that MSV might have set tune to prewritten lyrics. Speaking of lyrics, Nethaji also has done a fabulous job.

VJ and SPB , as always, does a great work.
"Janani" is the last film produced by Gemini studios. It was directed by Nethaji. The film had Mahesh kumar(?) and a bengali actress (Her name was changed to Janani). The film was a washout.
'Mannikka maataaya'(KJY/PS) is another excellent song from Janani.
Ramki: The Hero's name is Udhayakumar who went on to act in "Malayalam" movies after this. The heroine's name I thought was "Gemini" Bhaavya(?) as there was another heroine (the one acted in Geethanjali - thuLLi ezhundhadhu paatu) with the same name.
Illai, Ramki. 'rojavai' is Pantuvarali and 'veLLai' is in Misra Sivararanjani. For more on the latter raga, you can read my magazine article.. :DQuote:

As RC said Udaykumar did not get a good root in TFs, went to act in some low class Malayalam films.
Bhavya of Janani is different from Kannada Bhavya who acted as Heroine in Geethanjali (MuraLi, NaLini etc). She did a good job in that film though it was her first.
Ramki, before Janani was made, Gemini studio' rights, except colour processing lab, were sold to different parties. Even Gemini house was also sold later. Gemini production rights were sold to a media-magnet (not able recollect his name) who was exceutive editor of Gemini Cinema, Cine mag. This person had produced Janani but under Gemini production brand. So, I think Ellorum nallavare (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi) was the las set of movies under original Gemini studios.
I think Mannikka maattaayaa had 2 different solo versions by KJY and PS (not a duet). One of the interludes-less songs in TFM. It had a bare minimum usage of instruments (Bass Guitar).
Ramki,
I think MSV had other good songs for his credits in Late 80's. other movies that I can think, raasaathi kalyaaNam, thanga kalasam, sivappu malarkaL, vasantha raagam, vaLaiyal satham. IMO, 'raasaathi ennai thEdi varuvaarE raaja' is the best by MSV in Late 80's.
'vellai nirathu...' by Ilayaraaja.. thanks Ramki! I am listening to it after a long time!! I am amazed at the emotional depth in Janaki's singing in this song!! thanks Ilayaraja! love, vinatha
