Pick of the Week: Aug 2006 - Sep 2007

Ramki,

Pls go thru the Daily Thanthi Link for Vidya's Uyil.

http://www.dailythanthi.com/article....ate=10/23/2006

On Varam thandha samikku.... PS solo version of Telugu is grand even now. Even she herself could not bring in the same grandness in the dubbed version in Tamil.

I guess the sad version at the end of telugu original is also by PS (Background).

Ramki, do you really appreciate the lyrics of VM in Varam thandha samikku? what did he mean by padamaana laali idhamaana laali...? I just could not relish it :-(

Incidentally, I listened to Chitra's version of Kannada chippikkuL Muththu. Meena acted in Radhika's role and Sudeep (6'3" tall) for Kamal :-( Kodumai :lol: Chitra pAdi mudikaradhukku rombavE thiNari pOittAr. Moochu mutti pogudhu avangaLukku. It is my view, of course.

Hi Sn23..

true.. niraiya songs-la other language version improved aga irundhalum.. sila samaythula original-ai thoda mudiayamal pogum.. idhu adhumadhri oru song.. ( of course in my opinion.. vadapathra sai song is certainly better than the tamil version)

VM can make wonders with words. But sometimes even he cant do justice when writing lyrics for a tune and a situation of dubbed films.

eventhough salangai oli song "thakida thathimi" is very popular in tamil, I feel telugu is really good. andha song-la "thaaLaana" and "raagaana" appdinnu vara idathula "tharikidathom" and "aaa..aaa..aaa" appadinnu SPB telugula paaduvar. But in tamil those words are coming as "enbEnA" and "en pEnA".

adhukku "tharikidathom" and "aaaaaa" appadinnu paada vendi irundhirukku.. enna seyya ?

Ramki,
Romba nanRi. :) I like telugu and the 2 tamil versions of this song. indha version radhika iRandhappuram varudhaa? SPB paadum podhu avaroda kural kamal ku suit aagudhu. but dialogues pesarppo, SPB oda voice kamal ku suththama suit aagaadhadhu pola enakku thONichu.
Another song in this movie which didn't get aired often:
pattu selai tharenunnu padagERip pOnadhenna maamaa by SPS.

paatu anuppi host paNNa sonnadhu maRandhuduchinu adikkadi remind paNNum pOdhu en peyaraiyum unakku remind paNNirukkanum pole. :) Thanks ramki. :)

I read in some magaziine that Kamal did not want to dub this movie in Tamil but wanted to release it in Telugu like the way Sankarabharanam was done.So he refused to dub for the tamil version.
Ramki,I was a bit surprised to see this song in this section as it is still a very popular number.There is no doubt that it is a good song.

SN23,
thalattu paadalgaL sariyaana texture-il irukkavendum. Labodhibonnu srikanth deva voicele kathinaalum othuvaraadhu, TRajendar madhiri azhudhu vadinju paadinalum saripadaathu.
Andha correct padhathaithaan VM sollirukkaar.
idhamaana artham ungaLukke purinjirukkum.

Mahesh, i think the PS version,not this duet version, that is very popular.

Pick #408

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/aandavane_um.rm



Song: aandavane unnai vandhu
Movie: uruvangaL maaralaam
Singer : MSViswanathan
Lyrics: Vairamuthu ?
MD: S.V.Ramanan
Year : 1983



I usually do not favor MD's singing. During the early days of TFM, i was chastised by many for voicing this opinion :).
Its not like i hate all the songs in that genre. Take today's pick. I believe MSV is a very right choice. He adds that raw emotion to the song which could have been either over or underdone by reputed singers.
He sings for a father who learns that his son will die soon. The emotions should be of despair,sad and philosophical too. MSV does that very well with his unusual voice( Listen to the line 'naan thanimaiyodu vazhndhirukka gnanillaiye').
Speaking of lines, the lyricist has done a neat job in explaining the situation with simple words.

'vaanil vaazhum devathai' from UM was already hosted in POW.
Here's the link:

Simple, neat song.

Seems to fit some Srikanth Deva songs also.. :lol:

ramki: enna ore soga mayamaa irukku?
MSV paadinadhile enakku pidichadhu unakkenna kuRaichal, nee oru raajaa, neraana nedun chaalai....idhaan ippodhaikki ninaivu varudhu. innum niraiya irukkum.

srividhya ponathin sogam innum ezha mudiyavillai JN....
nalla nadigai... performed her best in all the roles.... innum thalapathi ' chinna thaayavaal' pattukku kovilai mangalakaramaana mugathudan sutri varum srividhya thaan gyabagam varuthu.
Jaya tvil newsil sonnathu - she was suffering from cancer for past 3 years endru.

MSV at his best in this song. vaanil vazhum devathai vida intha pattu arumaiyaana pattu

JN: MSV paadi arumayaana padal list-la
nee ninaithaal innErathilE
solla thaan ninaikkiren
enakkoru vidiveLLi en vaanilE
A song from Sivagaamiyin selvan
sErthukkOnga..

Ungal opinion about MDs singing , naanum vazhi mozhigiren Ramki.
I used to feel more like this with IR.Of course there are exceptions .
Of MSV's songs my favourite are
1) Unakenna kuraichal-Velli vizha
2)Oro Oasai indri -Paritchaiku neramachu
3) enakoru kadhali-muthana muthalavo
the last one is an excellent duet with SPB

Thanks everyone


Mahesh, 'oru osaiyindri' was sung by JC.

JN i did not plan to make this a soga week but since you mentioned i will continue with another philosophical song :)

Pick #409

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/annaiyin_d.rm



Song: annaiyin madiyil
Movie: Devi
Singer :TMS
Lyrics: Palladam Maanikkam
MD: V.Dakshinamurthy
Year : ?


The passage of life described in very few lines. Other than kaNNadasan, not many as witten such hard hitting lines. I'm not famil iarwith Palladam Maanikkam's other works but he should be a talented poet who was not utilised well by our filmwallahs.

The lines

'thaanendra aanavathil naan
naanenum ahangaaram
pesiyavar indru ponadhenge'

will hold true for many.

Who are the actors in Devi? Is it a malayalam remake by any chance? Any other good song from Devi?

Sorry Ramki,konjam confuse ayitaen.(effect of night shifts)

Very sad on Srividya's demise. Wonderful artiste.. What a conveying eyes!! Still remember the climax scene of Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai!! the scenes in Sollathaan Ninaikkiraen!! the climax song of Aboorva Raagangal when she realises that her husband has come.. Oh!! what a pair of eyes.. of course thalapathi and other movies are there.. but these come readily come to my mind.. Of course she had more challenging roles in malayalam movies and she did full justice to them..

Pick #410

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/megam_tt.rm



Song: megam thiraLudhadi
Movie: thaNNeer thaNNeer
Singers :SJanaki, Malaysia Vasudevan (and ?)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1981

'Thanneer thanneer' was a landmark film in Indian cinema. KB took a documentary genre subject and made it appealing to everyone.
Saritha effortlessly carried the entire film on her heavy shoulders and gave an award worthy performance(but she lost it to smitha patil(chakra)).
The film also brought recognition to Radharavi, who was introduced by KB in Manmadha leelai.

The film had only 2 full songs 'kaNNaana poomagane' and todays pick.
A trace of dark cloud, a ray of hope brings smile to their parched lips, brings song in their thirsty hearts. They bring out their drums and urumis . But the sounds and noises scares the clouds and chases them away.

When i watched Lagaan, i was surprised with the Lagaan's first song which was very familar to 'megam thiraludhai' 's concept and excution.
It was too close to be a conincidence.

Regarding SJ-MV combo, I grew up with their songs. The late 70s had so many good songs in their combination that it became part of my childhood. This week i plan to host some of their songs. If you have a favorite , let me know(if you can please avoid popular songs). I will host it if i have it.


I have few songs in mind but i would like to hear your preferences.

Ramki: Thanks for the "Megam.." song. One of my MV-SJ favorites is "Malagale.." supposedly from Kizhakke Pogum Rayil.
RRA

What an apt song for this season.
' SITUATIONAL' songsil ungalai adikka mudiyadhu. :)
There is one more song in TT sung by MSV.I dont remember the song , but its a background song when the villagers try to divert water by digging a vaikal from a river/ waterfall to their village.Saritha was very good in this movie.I think she also missed the national award for achamillai achamillai.
some suggestions for MSV /SJ week.
1) Karumbu vil - malargalile aradhani ( i used to confuse this song with kizhakae pogum rayil song.)
2)Magane magane- malligai poovukkul
3)Magane magane-madhu malargale
4) idhayathil or idam- kaalangal ( have a doubt you have already hosted)
5) sattam en kaiyil- aazhakadalil

nee illatha pothu engum nenjam can be featured

saritha, KB ivargalai patri solla vaarthaigal illai ennidam. MSV's early 80s best filmsil idhuvum ondru. who can forget 'kannanana poo magane kannurangu sooriyane'

Ramki

2 Songs that may qualify

1. Vaigai Neerada - GKV - Chinna Chiru Kiliye
2. Poove nee yaar solli - AARaj - Thaniyadha Thaagam

Bala

Let me throw my hat too. My suggestion is "neengaadha ennam ondru nenjodu undu" from "Vidiyum varai kaathiru" MD: IR. Such a lovely Kalyani based song

Yvsmani

nee illatha pothu engum nenjam is by MV/Sujatha (Ilamai Kolam)

Bala

Nee Illatha Pothu was by MV & Jency

vidiyum varai kaathiru is by GA :)

FM:

VVK is by IR

BGM was very good for a Suspense movie

Bala

Yaa. I was confused. I'm loosing my memories :)

Thank you everyone. The requests for MV-SJ songs as seen here and through email is overwhelming. I have to sort through the list to pick some good numbers. Dont be offended if i do not host all your requests.
I also want to mix my selections with this. None of my selections have been requested so far :)

Bala i do not have both of your requests :(

Pick #411

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kannil_ne.rm



Song: kaNNil ondru kaNden
Movie: neruppukkuL eeram
Singers :SJanaki, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: ?
MD: iLaiyaraja
Year : 1984

After the success of 'malayur mambattiyaan', thyagarajan acted in dozens of pictures that came and disappeared just like his son's recent films. 'NeruppukuL eeram' was one of them. It had ambika and urvasi with Thyagarajan. Todays song was aired frequently at the time of film's release.
Its a good song and kind of an unusual one for MV who mostly sang fast numbers or happy duets.
That was also the time when every other movie that released had IR's music. He managed to give atleast one good number for most of these unknowns.
If i remember correctly, 'kannil ondru' is the only good number in NE.

Ramki,
Neruppukkul Earam is an one of rare pick, i think many of them never listen this song. Weldone and thaks for it. I have an request of MV/SJ combination.

Sengarumbu Thangakatti- Athai vida ragasiyam

Very nice folk based duet...can pls host that song.

Thanks,
Jack

IR song without good interludes is not a good choice for me. Did GA arrange the music for this song?

Anyway thanks for the pick Ramki

Bala

Dear Ramki,

The ithazh irandum padattum song was neither filmed nor sung for padmini in 'Rani Samyuktha'. MGR definitely joins at the last tune of the song. This song is for somelady who is supposed to be a 'senathipathi's' wife in that film. MGR carries a very sad message that her husband was killed in the war.

Anbudan
MP

Both MVD and SJ are of extremes. Hard voiced and keecho-keech singers. Romba kashtamappa. Rasikkave muidyalai. Pls host some rare singers songs, Ramki.

kaNNil onru was one of my favourites those days and I got over it. The moment I saw NeruppukkuL eeram, I was able to recollect and hum few lines. Thanks for reminding this one, Ramki!

Though I'm not sure, the story goes likes this...
Thyagarajan comes back from Prison only to find that his sweetheart(?) oorvasi is now married to a police office (NizhalgaL Ravi(?) who has earned quite a few enemies) and has a kid. He stays with them, loses his eyesight for a while(I'm not sure) and in the end sacrifies his life to save the family.

other rare songs of this combo will be:

Poovennmum kalgaloda poda talam poda naan paduven kathal subrapatham - Santana Malargal

Maane Manguyile - MAnaivi Solle MAnthiram

Kathal Oru RAgam - ???

Dear gingerbeehk

Thanks a lot dude!!! :) .... Thats a wonderful song! I just love it...

MP thanks for the info. I should have checked around before hosting the song :(

Vel, I'm sorry that you do not like the voices of these singers. But like me, there are many others who enjoy their songs and singing.

I sure will host songs by rare singers soon.

Iniyan i have the manaivi solle mandhiram song and Jack i might have sengarumbu. I have to check.

RC, thanks for the film details. Ambikakku enne vedam?

Pick #413

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/neengatha_vvk.rm



Song: neengaatha eNNam ondru
Movie: vidiyum varai kaathiru
Singers :SJanaki, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan
MD: iLaiyaraja
Year : 1981

This song was requested by many. Neat song and i love the way SJanaki says 'ennanga adhu'.

I have not watche VVK but read that it was an interesting thriller by Bakyaraj. He also played a negative role for the 2nd time(and last?). Sathyakala was his jodi. Was this her first film?

Songwise i know only one another song 'pesu en anbe'(SPB, SPS).
Were there other songs?

Can someone provide a short review of the film? Thanks.

ramki dear
'pls avoid populr songs nnu sollittu.. :D..intha paattu ?
haha
MP just reminded 'ithazh irandum padattum ' thanks .
ps fan club has the song wmv
not padmini nor ap komala its ts bhagavathy song
thanks

I have seen this movie Ramki & faintly remember the story.
Sathyakala has a sisiter with whom she has petty quarrels.In one such occasion they have a n arguement & decide to have a competition when sathyakala sings and her sister dances to her song.
This is the 3rd song in the movie
'ABinayam kaatu nadai pottu
Ilaiyaval isaika, enai nee jeyika' sung by SJ
Her sister loses in this competition and in the heat of the moment she kills herself by jumping from a mountain.Sathyakala becomes mentally unstable after this.Bhagyaraj ( villain)comes into the scene pretending to be a good man and gets into the good books of Sathyakala's father and ultimately marries her.His aim is to get rid of her and get her properties.He tries various methods to eliminate her and these provide the thrilling moments in the movie.Karathe Mani is an inspectorwho suspects Bhagyaraj's motives and tries to catch him redhanded.In the last scene Bhagyaraj tries to kill her by pushing her off the mountain.In a turn of events Sathyakala gets cured of her mentalinstability and he gets caught.( I dont remember the final bit clearly)
