Song: azhagaana malare
Film: thendral veesum
Singer: PBSrinivas
Lyrics: kannadasan?
Music : Viswanathan Ramamurthy


This is a beautiful lullaby by PBS.

I have no details of 'thendral veesum' other than what Ramamurthy has to say in this thread

http://www.tfmpage.com/forum/18657.oldsongs.html

Nitchayathamboolam and Thenral Veesum were produced by B.S.Ranga,a predominantly Kannada film producer.It is not Pakshiraja as you said.
Theral veesum has some of the most melodious songs by Visvanathan-Ramamurthy.
'Azhagana malare arivana porule '-by P.B.Srinivas is one of the songs.I saw the movie twice just for the songs. In fact the secand time I was almost alone in the theater in Pondicherry where I was a medical student.

Manisekaran writes 'Padinar Kavingar paadinaar recorded for Nichaya Thamboolam but nused in Thendral Veesum. '

rs writes

I got a record shop to tape for me VR songs from two tamil films which I have so far not heard over radio: thendral veesum and senthamarai. The films came in 1962, in which year they scored for 17 films. You should listen to these songs: they are very melodius. In fact, anyone who listens to the song, kanavae kaathal,in the latter film will like it immediately and will want to relisten to it. I am not sure why these film songs are not broadcast over radio.

Ramki
Thanks for this melody.
Ramamurthy is right.
B.S.Ranga was the producer , director of both films Nichchaya thamboolam and Thendral veesum. Both films were produced by Vikram productions and released in the year 1962.
Manisekaran is right about the song "pAdinAr kavinjar pAdinAr". That song was recorded for N.Thambulam released on 9-2-1962. This song could not be included in this film. (That happened in many films those days songs like thendral varum in P.pazhamum, ennai thottu in PMPaar...that songs never seen in films.)
This "pAdinAr " song was included in Thendral veesum by B.S.Ranga. VR were the MD for both films.

Thendral veesum was released on 7-9-1962. starring Kalyankumar and Krishnakumari.
had very good melodies by VR
meettAtha veenaiyithu veesi varum thendral -PS
pAttu piRanthavudan pAda vaiththAyE-PS
pAdinaar-TMS-PS&co
one Janaki solo
the more popular azhagAna malarE

I have heard all these songs in Radio Ceylon. I haven't seen the film.I have been searching all the video stores for these nice melodies alone. No suceess so far.

kanavE song mentioned by rs is a beauty by G.K.Venkatesh in Senthamarai- Sivaji, Padmini Bhimsing film. I think it was the last film Padmini acted before her marriage. There is a beautiful dance song "vAraNamAyiram". K.R.Ramasamy's last song "pAda mAttEn" was in that film. I heard when Kannadasan wrote those lines "pAda mAttEn", nobody thought that will be KRR's last song.

sathyakabali,
As always thanks for the details. I have the 'kanave' song from senthaamarai, i will upload it soon.

Hi !

the dance scene by Padmini in Senthamarai for "Varanamayiram" is reproduced in "annakkiLi" as a scene in a touring cinema !

I think there is a song "ellorum vazhavenrE ulagam piRanthadhu.. idhil ezhai enrum selvar enrum kalagam vaLarnthadhu".. from "thenral veesum"........ but I forgot the singer ! :roll:

Song: raasaathi raasathi
Film: poovarasan
Singers: SPB, Chitra
Lyrics: Vaali
Music : iLaiyaraja

This is a great song by IR in his 'not so good 90's phase'.
SPB and chitras singing makes the song even more pleasant.
'Poovarasan' had Karthik and Rakshana(debut). I think this was another Karthik-Gokulakrishna combination.
I watched this moved just to see this song but unfortunately it was not shown( not sure if singapore tv censored it or it didnt make it to the screen at all).
The only other ok song from PA 'indha poovukoru arasan'(SPB, ksc)

'not so good 90's phase' what does that mean. Well u are not an Isai medhai nor an layman who can understand good music. Then on what basis u can say this.
As if all others were/are doing well?
Just listen to ARR, Vidyasagar, Harish etc.. junk and waste songs.
By their standard he is and was always good to his creations.
Just don't throw words. The culprits for this situtations are Balachander and RAJINI gangs who made a mess around IR and tried to CASH on by introducing new MDs but the result was instant FLOP. From which no one around him are able to comeup.

Don't you think that you're doing the same thing? Are you a "isai mEdhai" to claim others work junk or not ? You don't need to be a isai medhai to like or dislike songs.

Thank you FM :)

'Paarthen sirithen' is the popular number from this AVMrajan,Kanchana *er. Today's pow is equally good.
I read somewhere that the film was a flop. Ofcourse who will like to watch the old, plump AVMR play the young Abhimanyu's character :)
Now AVMR fans pls pardon me if i offended you. The above comment is mine and only my opinion. Please dont ask if i have 'model' looks to comment about AVMR's :roll:
