What Swathy says is a true becaz MGR used a bit of glamour for his movies in the early 70s .
Idayakani , Pallandu vazga, Nalai namadhe were some examples for that
May be in tune with the times :cry2:
And stars like Manjula, Lata, Radha Saluja were the victims in the process. :oops:

This is what K.J.Yesudas said during an interview 2 years back about his personal experience with Puratchi Thalaivar :
Q :
How was your experience with M G Ramachandran when you sang for his film 'Urimai Kural'?
A :
One day, our late chief minister M G Ramachandran called me over and asked me to sing the song 'Vizhiye Kadhai Ezhudhu'. I was elated and thrilled. My happiness doubled when the song became a hit.
MGR is a mahaan. I came to know about him at a later stage. He not only gave importance to music but more to the art itself. His character was such that he turned even his foes into friends.
For example, at a time when he had difference of opinion with Kannadasan politically, he was not satisfied with the lyrics for a particular song. Finally, he himself suggested that Kannadasan be called to write the lyrics. Others around him were hesitant but MGR was firm. He told them that Kannadasan had no equal and asked them to approach him for the lyrics. Kannadasan also obliged and the song was 'Odum Megangale' for the film 'Aayirathil Oruvan'. Enmity vanished... and art gained importance
Jesudas fondly recollects thus his association with MGR
Not only KJY, there is a separate story about SPB also :D
Makkal thilagam was an allrounder who always concentrated and specialized on the nuances of making a movie !
nakkeeran , try now
Thanks a lot RKRV :D Got it now !Quote:

I believe there is a story behind this song also !
Kavignar Kannadasan originally wrote Nan andri yaar varuvar but it seems MGR was not happy with this and asked him to write another song and thats how Kan moodum was made !
Later Kavignar used Naan andri yaar varuvar in another movie

Mr. Manisegaran Sir,
Please join us back and pour in with more and more info on the greats of yester years :D
SOTD : AZAGIYA THAMIZ MAGAL IVAL
Movie : Rickshawkaran
Singers : TMS- PS
I believe MGR didnt approve this tune earlier but a stubborn MSV managed to convince him and got it inserted !
Mann what a compo !
The preludes, interludes all mind blowing , out of the world stuff !
and the chorus midway adds more charm to the song !
Any dream song of Puratchi T will have colour colour jigina works with terrific sets . See the song and U will be amazed by the setting !
Its MGR with Manjula . Despite his advancing age, MGR looks better for his age then.

SOTD : ENGE AVAL ENDRE MANAM
Movie : Kumari Kotam
Singer : TMS solo
http://ww.smashits.com/music/tamil/s...ri-kottam.html
Beautiful picturisation in a garden . Both MGR and JJ looking absolutely handsome / beautiful.
IMO, the 2 form the best pair in screen and their chemistry was wonderful to watch !
TMS singing in a mild tone for Makkal thilagam is no surprise as I believe he had different voices for each actor !
Very peppy fast paced compo . Accordion and flute are a real treat to ears.
Muthadum marbil mugam parka ennum
en asayin osayai kelaki konjam
kai valai osayum mai vizi parvayum
kaanavum enginen ! :D
Cheers to MSV sir for another splendid compo :D
MGR will be teasing JJ all through the movie . A release of the 60s
The first scene will show MGR appearing in his typical kullah and full arm shirt in some meeting !
An entertaining movie to watch :D
Nakeeraa, Yo're on a ROLL here !!! Even if the songs are GREAT, your narration makes them even GREATER !!! Bring it on friend !!! We're enjoyin it here !!
:bluejump: :boo: :redjump:
Well ,he always reserved his best or probably MGR squeezed him to the maximum level possible and got the best out of him.
This is my humble opinion about the genius MSV sir .
I believe Nadigar thilagam even asked once to MSV why you are not giving the same treatment to my songs ?/
After this question of Shivaji sir, Mellisai mannar answered it by producing a gem AAGAYA PANDHALILE !
Today’s song – NAAM ORUVARAI ORUVAR SANDHIPOM ENA KADHAL DEVADHAI SONNAAL
Movie : Kumari kotam
LREaswari Mam always gives that special touch through her unique vocals .
Somehow I feel that LRE’s voice was a perfect match for JJ ?
And her voice always SOKKA VAIKUM .
but poor LRE was always used as a club dance type song specialist . Sad .
Im im im – is what follows for the song after the pallavi . Wonder how he structured it like that !
Sheer presence of mind from MSV sir.
Interestingly, the rhythm is the same for the charanam but MSV has used different tunes .
Lyrics ? valee ??
MGR :
Naan thodarndhu poga
Ennai maan thodarndhadhenna
Andha maan thodarndhu poga
Manam mayyal kondadhenna
Velli pani vizi mazai adikka
Andha mazayinil nadhi pirakka
Andha mazayinil nadhi pirakka ( repeat in a diff. tune )
Andha nadhi vandhu kadal kallakaaa
JJ :
Neer kodutha megam
En neela vanna koondhal
Andha neela vanna koondhal
Adhu nee irukkum oonjal
Paal kodutha venmai
En palingu pondra meni
En palingu pondra meni ( repeat in a diff. tune )
Adhil palli kolla vaa nee
Simply superb !
Kumari kotam had 2 outstanding songs . Both composed in a different style .
May be thalaivar wished it that way :D and Mellisai Mannar obliged out of his rich repertoire. :D
