New thread for Malaysia Vasudevan - the versatile Thamizh singer

செல்லாது செல்லாது :)
With respect to the poll, I am not sure if I should go with Podhuvaaga emmanasu or vetti veru kind of songs. The max credit for Aagaya Gangai goes to IR. Even before MV enters, the song goes to a different level after the initial humming.
An anecdote MSV shared recently in a TV program: TR Mahalingam used for high pitch songs, wanted to sing a low pitched one. While V-R gave it, GR happend to cross by and felt that it was not a good idea. Later when the song was released GR called and appreciated them and the song eventually became a hit

Interesting titbit, SMI, on TRM.

Now, what was the song? senthamizhththEnmozhiyAL? (that YSR & HJ got inspired from in recent times)

[groucho070]

Adi Adum poonguyile - very haunting song if you have seen the film. Kali - title name is taken from Mullum Malarum, conveniently of course, since Kali's script was penned by Mahendran. Not a great film, it's okay, but this song sticks in your mind way after the movie finishes....

[app_engine]

The year 1980 had a few more Rajini movies as well - anbukku nAn adimai (all SPB), Johny (one SPB, all others female voices), ellAm un kai rAsi (SPB)...

nAn pOtta savAl had MV :-) The sweet 'sugam sugamE thodathodaththAnE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2202'&lang=en) with VJ, both the melody and the instrumental portions are quite nice in this IR song.

There's another MV solo in this movie nAttukkuLLa sila narikaL irukkudhu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2199'&lang=en) which had some air time and was made fun of for its animal sounds (i.e. by my cousin & me):-)

[app_engine]

pollAthavan too was 1980 it seems and a total SPB show there, no MV. (MSV music).

So, 1980 accounting over...a few solid hits by MV in Rajini movies there...and poised to increase the count in 1981...

He narrated this while talking about maalayitta mangai and IIRC he said this song went on to be the big hit of the film. I too thought it was STM, but they played another soothing one which is naan andri yaar varuvaar. The year was 1958 and GR was still on top. So a semi classical could have become the topper during the release. But later on a light music kind of song (STM) could have become more famous.

:notthatway: It's just that I have some pleasure in using every opportunity to expose these ctrl-c-wAlAs :-)

Coming back to the thread, IMO, MV had a reasonably wide range when it comes to pitch and was successful across the spectrum :-)

[app_engine]

Let's visit 1981 for Rajini / MV combo...

garjanai had those two terrific MV numbers.

oru ooril oru maharAni avaL ullAsakkalaikaLil thani gnAni (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0923'&lang=en) had some terrific orchestration from rAsA, kObamAi mirattum guitar / synth in the prelude before MV starts singing is among my all-time fav sounds! Also some nice trumpeting gives this song a very majestic feel!

Contrast this with that sweet duet with UR, enna sugamAna ulagam (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0921'&lang=en)! Sweet melody, grand orchestration and what not! (I think the youtube of this song was posted in this thread sometime back, Rajini-Madhavi on this disney-whole-new-world kind of ride on a kattil IIRC)

[app_engine]

Then there was this thEdum deivam nEril vandhadhO (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1660'&lang=en) by MV-SJ for kazhugu. Though this is lesser of all the songs from that movie (the others being oru poovanaththula, ponnOviyam, kAdhalennum kOvil) quite interesting one.

The cracking 'neRRikkaN' too happened in the same 1981 where MV enjoyed 2 numbers (compared to just one each by KJY / SPB, this was the first KB product with IR's music).

mAppiLLaikku mAman manasu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2357'&lang=en) was a typical fusion in the standard "jugalbandi-like" format (i.e. one can spot both genres separately and not the organic mix that usually happens with rAsA songs, another later day ejjAmple would be 'kavidhai kELungaL' which was again for a KB product).

One of my all-time fav!

Then there was this jazzy rAjA rAni jAkki (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2359'&lang=en) with SPS, another interesting concoction:-)

[app_engine]

1981 also had the hilarious 'thillu-mullu' for RK under KB & music by MSV.

SPB took two numbers (thillumullu thillumully uLLamellAm kallumuLLu & rAgangaL pathinARu) while MV had to be content with the 'thangangaLE thambikaLE madhurai veeran solluRathaikkELunga' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGOLD1680'&lang=en) song - kuppai song IMO & possibly the worst moments in an otherwise excellent movie.

[app_engine]

Same way for another RK movie of the same year - this time director SPM & music by MSV - 2 relatively better songs to SPB which were themselves so-so (vArungaL onRai sErungaL & sonnAl thANE puriyum) while MV was given a raw deal O malligappoo (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBOLD00939&lang=en)another hopeless song that hardly got noticed...

[app_engine]

There was another big hit for Rajini in 1981 - the remake of deewAr - "thee" by Balaji with MSV music. It had the famous LRE number 'vArE vA rAjA idhu indhira lOgam' with the "qurbani" sound ('aap jaisA koi' had that famous 'kkovvvv' sound and a similar one got used in this, but repeats thrice).

Coming to MV, he enjoyed one song here - along with a couple other male voices subbaNNA sonnAraNNa sudhandhiram vandhadhunnu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGOLD1687'&lang=en) Interesting tune but very boring orchestration, IMO.

BTW, this is a local's take of Bharathi's 'AduvOmE paLLuppAduvOmE Anandha sudhandhiram adaindhu vittOmenRu' and the poet is given the 'subbaNNA' title (Subramaniya Bharathi).

[app_engine]

With that, I think, the 1981 combo of MV-Rajini is done, quite a few hit numbers in that year - slightly more than 1980.

In any case, by this time MV was among the much sought-after male voices in TFM, possibly second only to SPB. KJY & PJ were going steady as well but TMS was on his way out. ('en kadhai mudiyum nEramidhu' had been blamed for that...TR :lol: )

[groucho070]

app, I believe the blame was also on "nAn oru rAsiyillA rAjA..." also TR :lol:

[Plum]

Also, noolum illai vaalum illai vaanil pattam - that also TMS?

[app_engine]

Also, noolum illai vaalum illai vaanil pattam - that also TMS?

Yes, TR derived some sadistic pleasure I think, by asking TMS to exclusively do this kind of numbers :-)

[app_engine]

1982 had this sweet pattu vaNNa chElaikkAri (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0849'&lang=en) solo by MV for Rajinikanth.

This had sufficient radio / bus / teakkadai / recording center coverage but was never a match for those sakala kalA vallavan numbers that came during the same period.

[app_engine]

MV had presence in the SPB dominated thanikkAttu rAjA album in one song :

mullai arumbu, mellaththirumbu, enna kuRumbu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3558'&lang=en)

Excellent duet with SJ that had nice string sections, terrific percussion and a catchy nAdan melody!

[app_engine]

Looks like 1982 had this 'pOkkiri rAjA' also, music by MSV.

MV had the big hit 'pOkkirikku pOkkiri rAjA, poothirukku pattula rOjA' duet with Janaki.

[app_engine]

MSV-MV-SJ + AmbaLai Rajinikanth & pombaLai Rajinikanth combo:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nS5eL1LUo8

[app_engine]

Rajini had one of his biggest hits in 1982 - moonRu mugam - and the MD was Shankar-Ganesh.

Both the songs that I recall from that are by SPB - dEvAmrutham & nAn seydha kuRumbu. thiraippAdal has these numbers as well.

Is there any MV number in that movie? If none, that was a bad miss by MV...

[app_engine]

Devar films 'Ranga' seems to be from 1982 as well.

This had the famous SPB-MV duet 'pattukkOtta ammALu pAththupputtA nammALu' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0127'&lang=en)that had some typical Shankar-Ganesh sounds (some techno, some lead guitar) and proved to be a very successful album for the duo. Funnily, they had MV for the parts with "western" beats and SPB for the dappAnguththu parts :-)

There's another song that sounds like a Hindi import, a MV-PS duet azhagAnA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0126'&lang=en) - MV shouting 'rangA, rangA' is quite funny :lol2:

[app_engine]

I guess we're done with the 1982 stuff of Rajini-MV combo.

Moving on to 1983...quite a few hits there...

aduththa vArisu had the outrageous kuRumbu Asai nooRu vakai (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0107'&lang=en)where MV did exceptionally well. It was a roaring hit song and is popular to this day. I believe there's a remix of this (never had a chance to listen to the YSR version).

We have this song as an example in one of the poll choices :-) One vote so far and not too bad considering the fact that there are only 9 votes total. One of the most dismal polls on the hub:-(

[app_engine]

Sureshs65's blog post on some melodious songs of MV :

http://sureshs65music.blogspot.com/2011/02/kodai-kaala-katre-tribute-to-malaysia.html

[app_engine]

AVM's pAyum puli (1983) had 2 MV numbers.

Interestingly, both duets had PS singing with MV - somewhat rare combination for Rajini's commercial movies.

poththukkittu ooththudhadi vAnam (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2607'&lang=en) is a very sweet song with an interesting rhythm pattern. Personally, I would have preferred to have SJ in this number and it would have been a bigger hit as hers suited the 80's commercials (& the heroine). However, the voice of PS is always very sweet and song is evergreen. My most fav part of this song is the first interlude - terrific!

Appakkada annakkiLi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2606'&lang=en) wasn't a dappAnguththu despite the first line suggesting such a number. It was a themmAngu / folk duet like any other rAsA number with some echo effects and had enough air time. Almost sounding like a MSV number, this one.

Both these songs had their share of other media as well (bus-teakkadai-functions-recording centers)...

[app_engine]

One of the best ever songs by MV is for Rajini in this year!

vA vA vasanthamE, sugantharum suganthamE (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2943'&lang=en) from pudhukkavidhai is an all-time-great number!

Neenga periya MV visiriya ? :roll: I liked almost every song of MV for his versatality, but did not like his voice that much, my preferences of voice were SPB > (KJY + PJ + TMS +PBS +AMR) > MV :)

Any way regardless of my opinion, I felt MV was and is the Only versatile singer in TFM after SPB :)

[app_engine]

Param,
As you could have noticed from majority of my hub posts, in the appreciation of movie arts I'm primarily visiRi to rAsA music :-) All other fandoms are wound around it and so the periya-chinna visiRiththanams to singers are corollary.

Going purely by "voice", my #1 choice is KJY. Even SPB comes after him, though close. Obviously, SPB is millions of miles ahead of KJY in versatility.

Like in your case, MV's "voice" comes way behind - i.e. after those yesteryear stalwarts (TMS / AMR / PBS / PJ).

OTOH, if you look at TFM as a whole package (prelude, interludes, orchestration & singing), there are a number of MV songs that are in my most-fav books, thanks to his association with rAsA :-)

There had been no MV in a couple other Rajini movies of 1983 - SPB did all songs in 'thudikkum karangaL' for which he was MD also (director - Sridhar). Neither did MV get a chance in 'thanga magan'.

So, 1983 MV-RK account gets closed, movin on to 1984...

Start 1984 Rajini-MV combo, alphabetically.

anbuLLa Rajinikanth
- This was more of a cameo role but then the title itself carried Rajini's name and he got to do even a song (muthu maNichchudarE vA). I don't remember who was on screen for this MV + chorus thAththA thAththA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0236'&lang=en) song...was it Rajini by any chance?

kai kodukkum kai

Never heard this AthA peththALE AmbaLaiyA ennaththAn (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1422'&lang=en) before, which is a typical MV dappAnguththu number. Nothing to compare in quality with any of the songs in any Mahendran movie prior :roll: (possibly the reason it didn't get the reach of thAzhampoovE vAsam veesu / kaNNukkuLLE yArO from the same movie).

[app_engine]

nAn mahAn alla

ommEla oru kaNNu thilla langudiyO (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2189'&lang=en)was perhaps the first MV attempt with the "tiger" sound (SPB had done in many songs). The duet adi-dhadi number with SJ was a big hit ("angE konjam ingE konjam kaiya vachchA enna minjum - pAththiram angirukku Aththiram ingirukku" - all kinds of non-veg lines, the scene was also supposedly non-veg, didn't have a chance to watch this movie). Terrific "izhuvai" by MV as in the case of Asai nooRu vagai.

vAnga vAnga aNNAchi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2190'&lang=en)in another typical IR brand dappAnguththu for MV, the standard shenoy, country drums, chorus kind of arrangements.

Interesting to see that both thadAladi numbers in this movie went to MV while the softie numbers ('mAlai soodum vELai' and 'kalyANam vaibOgam') went to SPB :-)

nallavanukku nallavan

One of the biggest hits for Rajinikanth from that time period (and some portions kind-of repeated in padayappA)...had all the Rajini songs by KJY. However, MV got the namma mudhalALi nalla mudhalALi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2261'&lang=en).

I listened to this song after a long time today and realized that there's SPB too in the song (possibly pinnaNi for Rajini while MV did for Karthik)...need to include this song on the SPB-IR thread in the IR section as this song was a patti-thotti hit.

thambikku entha ooru

The movie that had a couple of great numbers by SPB (kAdhalin deepam onRu & en vAzhvilE varum anbE vA) had this MV number - kiNdal song in a semi-classical style - 'AsaikkiLiyE araikkilO puLiyE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3509'&lang=en)...

nAn sivappu manithan was a total SPB show - no MV there.

padikkAthavan had Rajini / Sivaji & per the existing standards (same year of mudhal mariyAdhai), rAsA got MV to sing for Sivaji :-)

oru koottukkiLiyAka (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2621'&lang=en) is a sweet song with standard rAsA arrangements where Sivaji sung and acted as aNNan for Rajini.

Interesting to note that MV also sang for Rajini in the same movie:-) solli adippEnadi, neththi adi thAnadi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2623'&lang=en) is a terrific shenoy / adi-dhadi dappAnguththu, home territory for MV.

One thing - if someone says Rajini didn't get influenced by NT at all, that someone has to urgently watch this video :-)

[groucho070]

app, ditto on NT's influence. I rate Orukoottu KiliyAga more than all the other songs in that film, not necessarily because of my fondness for NT, but MV's voice flawlessly glides through the song. The pathos version of a charanam appears when Rajini meets his brother first time after many years. Ooraterinjikitten is a stunner mainly because of Rajini's performance in that song.

+1. It's special to me, because this is the first song, where I thought MV completely replaced TMS for NT. It's that perfectly suited for NT.

Rajini's 100th movie seemed to feature KJY a lot but MV too had his share in this...

'odhungu odhungu' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2014'&lang=en) was a terrific adi-dhadi number and I cannot forget the fantastic way the 'mallissEri orchestra' of Coimbatore played the song on Palakkad maidAn that year. Terrific!
