MGR WITH SAROJA DEVI AGAIN IN KALANGARAI VILAKKAM
Another MGR-Saro combination movie. Here Saro in a dual role. Handsome MGR trying to unravel the mystery of the first Saro’s death. This time its only MSV ruling the film. Its’ none other than ‘Kalankarai Vilakkam’ which has some outstanding songs.
The evergreen ‘Poonyezhil poothathu’ has some excellent lyrics which every interested tamilian would relish. As the character keeps remembering about the dancing legend Sivagami, MGR will be portrayed as Narasimha Pallavar. He would look stunning while Abhinaya Saraswati does her part very well with Sivagami’s movements. Song opens-up with Susila’s voice flowing ‘Oo………..Oo…………’. The lyrics are amazing….
‘Thennaivanathinil unnai mugam thottu yennathai chonnavan vaadugiren..
Unniru kanpattu punpatta nenchil un pattu kai pada paadugiren.’. These need no explanation.
These lyrics remind me of ‘Kan pattathaal unthan meniyile punpatta tho athai naan ariyen’.
Kaathalagarkalukkul kooda kan paduvathu romba kashtam polum.
When you view this song (any MGR-TMS song for that matter before MGR’s bullet removal) it would be as if MGR himself is singing. TMS had different voice modulations for MGR, Sivaji. One will have to recollect that he had a different version even for Jaishankar, Ravichandran, SSR, AVMR and the likes. He’s a gifted singer.
Apparently this is MSV’s first movie after his split with TKR. All songs are a roaring success. ‘Kaatru vaanga ponen’ is another melodious hit. After this movie MGR-MSV combo was an unwritten deal.
Coming back to the song, one would imagine that the background could be a palace as the hero/heroine are portrayed as king and queen. If you read the great novel of Kalki ‘Sivagamiyin Sabatham’ then it would be easier to understand the scenario. Dancer Sivagami is a sculptor’s daughter and not a queen. Prince Narasimha is in love with her and they always end up meeting in a gardent. Here again it’s a normal garden area and graceful dance steps add to the beauty of this song.
It’s a black & white movie and song picturised with great lyrics with rich costumes and jewellery. The hair-do of Saro is like Sivagami’s and MGR would look absolutely majestic. Another feather in the cap of…………………..music lovers.

Lakshmi ... Welcome to the hub !!! :D :D
Very good selection of songs ... Both are rocking ... I dont remember the Ponnezhil Poothathu lyrics by heart .... Got to listen to it a couple of times, and will then write it .... I also love the King's dress of MGR in that song ... Has too many stanzas though !!
But here's the Kaatru Vaanga Poneaen song !! Remember how MGR dances and messes with Saroja Devi ??? :wink: :wink: :wink:
