Pick #218

http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/kaalai_mog.rm

Song: kaalai thendralil
Film: mangai oru gangai
Singer : SJanaki
Lyrics: MGVallaban
Music: Laxmikanth Pyarelal

A beautiful song. A madras-B favorite(7.15am slot).I like both the male(Dinesh) and female versions of the song.
After the success of 'paNNeer nanaindha pookaL', LP gave this hit with the same pair of Nadhiya-Sjanaki. But Unlike uyire unakkaga, which had excellent songs, MOG had only this hit song.
A duet by SPB-chitra and a chitra solo are other songs from MOG.

'MOG" had Saritha, Nadhiya, Suresh etc. The storyline was similar to 'gouravam' and i think it was directed by Malayalam film director Hariharan. The film did not do well.

P.S: The audio quality is so so at the beginning but it gets better after the first pallavi

Ramki,

Chitra's solo 'Acham illa paadhaiyil ellorum selvOmE'.
Dinesh version is also really good.

I watched movie, but I only remember these songs only :)

Ramki,
I couldn't play the song. The link did not work.

----------

Works now. Thank you. Lovely song.

ramki, by the title of the song I thought I'm going to listen to a new song because I knew this song only as 'neeradi vaa thendrale'... I remember this song being played a few hundred times in madras B radio... nice song though..

Hi Ramki..

I think there are two duets in the film..
one for suresh and nadhiya and the other one for Prithviraj and a new girl.. "azhagiya nilavidhu aruginil ulavudhu.. iLam manam urugudhu ingE..."

Thanks everyone for additional details

Pick #219

Song: un kadhaithaan en kadhaiyum
Film: bandha paasam
Singers : PSuseela, SJanaki
Lyrics: Mayavanathan?
Music: Viswanathan Ramamurthy

A 'male bashing' song by PS and SJ. SJ ,singing for Devika, sounds very subdued , compared to PS singing for Savithri.
I think sivaji and Gemini are their respective jodis. I believe 'bandha paasam' did not do well at the B.O, but like all Bimsingh movies the film had good songs.

'idhazh mottu virindhida'(PBS,PS)
'kavalaigaL kidakattum'(TMS,PBS)
'nitham nitham maarugindrathethanaiyo'(SG)
'pandhal irundhaal kodi padarum'(TMS, SJ).

I havent watched BP so do not know the song situation or the story line. Help? anyone?

Hi Ramki !

is "eppo vachikkalam adhai eppadi vachukkalam" by Chandrababu is from Bandhapasam ?

Madhu yes. I think it was picturised on chandrababu and sukumari

Pick #220

http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/thai_npm.rm

Song: thaai paadum paatuthaane
Film: Naam pirandha mann
Singers : PSuseela, VaniJairam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan

A beautiful melody . Great lyrics and excellent singing makes every listening of this song pleasurable. I like the way the song ends with the 'aararo'
A gentle playful sandai between a madhani(KRVijaya) and her naathanaar(Fatafat Jailakshmi).
'naam pirandha mann' was the first film sivaji acted with a grown up kamalhassan. The story line is quite similar to shankar's 'Indian'.
The film also had Gemini Ganesan. I'm not sure who played kamal's jodi.
What are the other songs from NPM?
