Song: Osai koduththa
Film: Gnaana Kuzhandhai
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: ?
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Year: 1979
K.V.Mahadevan and P.Susheela together bring us another powerful
semiclassical in "Osai koduththa nAyagiyE". A high energy composition
with all the classic elements of KVM, and PS effortlessly grabs it and
goes to town with it. The song was very popular at the time it
released. For whatever reason the song is not heard as often as some of
the classics such as "maRainthirunthE pArkkum", "nalamthAnA", "mannavan
vanthAnadi", "kOmAthA", etc. May be because the film did not fare as
well as the others, or may be the actor in the song sequence was not a
big name like Padmini/Savithiri/K.R.Vijaya.
I watched "Gnaana Kuzhanthai" few years ago but cannot remember the
story. I think there was more than one story in the film. There were
many actors. I always wondered how they managed to pay such a huge cast
in all those devotional and historical films. However, the best part of
those films is the abundance of beautiful semicalssical songs.

Pick #475
Song: jodi nadhigal
Movie: anbe Odi vaa
Singer: SPB
MD: IR
What can I say... Splendid interludes, and of course soul-stirring SPB.
This is the third song being featured on POW from A.O.V. The other two were: kanavodu aengum (#109), azhagaana pookkal (#314)

AOV is one such bad film. The film had Mohan, urvasi , Raasi etc. Only the songs are memorable.
The joyful 'azhagaana pookaL' (SPB's version of todays pick)
the soulful 'jodi nadhigaL'(SPB) and the romantic duets
'kaadhil kettadhu'(MV,UR) and 'idazhil amudham'(KJY,VJ) are all musical treats.
