Neel,
Must be one of the best songs of GA. The prelude was really good. But overall the song was heavily inspired by IR.
baroque, you are welcome.
madhu & RR, thank you.
Pick #603
Song: vegukAlam inggu
Film: Oomai Janangal
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singers: Malaysia Vasudevan, Poorani and Chorus
Lyrics: One of (Thanigaichelvan, Sokkar, Semmalar Selvan)
Year: 1984
"Oomai Janangal" story continues...
Sarathbabu, the general manager of a big tea producing company is engaged to marry Uma, his secretary. There is a labor uprising in the tea factory headed by the union leaders V.Gopalakrishnan and Chandrasekar. Sarathbabu bribes Gopalakrishnan and also sends a bribe to Chandrasekar through him to suppress the labor uprising. But Chandrasekar refuses the bribe. Sarathbabu has Gopalakrishnan hire some thugs to beat up Chandrasekar. The thugs come back and report that Chandrasekar died from the beating. Gopalakrishnan runs to Sarathbabu's house in the middle of the night and tells him that Chandrasekar is dead. Sarathbabu has no sympathy for the dead man. He starts considering ways to cover up the murder. Gopalakrishnan is shocked at Sarathbabu's coldheartedness and turns against him. Preeta who is visiting Sarathbabu at this time is shocked at her son's corrupt ways. She tells him, in flashback, about the humble origin of their family in the tea estate and his father Bhagyaraj's ultimate sacrifice for labor rights. Today's pick is the background song that opens the flashback.
Sarathbabu does not care about his humble beginnings. In fact, he is ashamed of it. Ashamed that his parents were laborers, ashamed that he was born out of wedlock and ashamed that his grandfather pimped his grandmother to the estate owner. Sarathbabu just wants to get ahead in life at the expense of the poor laborers, become wealthy and secure himself a status in the society.
When Gopalakrishnan returns home he finds Chandrasekar alive. Chandrasekar was only unconscious from the beating but the thugs panicked and reported him dead. Gopalakrishnan tells him what happened. Sarathbabu's bribery attempt and use of violence becomes public knowledge and the upper management becomes concerned about the reputation of the company.
SPOILER ALERT! Skip the next paragraph if you do not want to know how the film ends.
Continuing to fight for their demands, Chandrasekar, Gopalakrishnan and the union members organize a major protest rally against the management. Sarathbabu hires a group of thugs and asks them to cause commotion during the rally which will lead to police action and thus diffuse the protest. But he does not know that the same thugs have been hired by the upper management, for much more money, and have been asked to murder Sarathbabu. The rally begins. As it goes by their house, Preeta and Uma get fired up and join the rally. Sarathbabu is on his way to the rally to see if his thugs are doing what they are supposed to. But his car is stopped on the way by the same thugs and they start beating him. Sarathbabu is fighting for his life. The news gets to Chandrasekar and Gopalakrishnan. They rush to the scene and save Sarathbabu. Sarathbabu is humbled and ashamed. He realizes that the upper management views him the same way he views the people below him (it is all relative, isn't it?). Sarathbabu joins the laborers in their protest. Preeta and Uma look at him proudly.
SPOILER ENDS!
Today's pick has great chorus work. Poorani, whose name everybody knows but rarely hears her sing in TFM, gets to do a little humming in this song. At least the filmmakers were kind enough to credit her for it. Malaysia Vasudevan gives a neat rendition.

Other songs in the film:
unathE iLam mAlai - KJY (already featured by Ramki)

Pick #604
Song: dasarathanin thirumaganai
Film: Devi Sridevi
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Singers: S.Janaki, Malaysia Vasudevan, Deepan Chakravarthi
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1984
Today's pick has a rare combination of singers - SJ,MV,DC. Have no information about "Devi Sridevi" other than that it starred Mahalakshmi, beautiful daughter of beautiful parents AVM.Rajan and Pushpalatha.
Thanks to Priya for sending this song.
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow07/dasarathanin.rm
HI Neel..
thats a nice song.
but "vAlibam vAzhga, vaiyagam vAzhga" is more popular.
I think subhakar is the hero .. but I am not sure.
motham mooNu hero.
idhuthAn "reNdu jadai seetha" appadingara telugu movieOda ( pEr sariyA theriyala ) remake-nu sonnadhA ninaikiREn.
madhu: mUnu Heros padam thaan! Subhakar is one. Any idea on the other? I liked Sree aka Mahalakshmi the first time I saw her on posters. She looked beautiful in nanRi which introduced Arjun to tamizh. Was that her first movie too?
Like madhu said thEnIr which was on production for a while released as Umai janangaL during my school days. Having liked Bhagyaraj's movies, we wanted to see this. But when the news was out that Bhagyaraj played a gowrava vEdam, we did not bother to watch this on screen.
Neel,
Thanks for the song. :lol:
Idhu paatu.....
IR music enral, kadhai vendam nu yar sonandhu....
Just for kindfying. Kadhai solli kashta padadheengo .....
I hadn't noticed the small disco bit in this song before. Heavy rehash of 'poomaalai' (thanga magan).
RC, I think Sree made her debut along with Deepan C in a movie.
Neel, I take the musical until 2:15, not in a mood for the rest. Too tacky for me this evening, prefer unruffled musicals.
Vinatha.

Pick #605
Song: pudichchAlum pudichchEn
Film: Rajathanthiram
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singers: S.Janaki, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: One of (Pulamaipithan, Muthulingam, Idhayachandran)
Year: 1984
Today's pick is a nice duet with a strong 1980s MSV flavor. MSV composed similar folkish classicalish mixturish type songs for a few movies in the early to mid 80s. The male voice's cleaner lyrics are for a prince. The female voice's colloquial songlines are for his love interest who is a street entertainer. Sounds like the lyricist went overboard trying to be streetish here.
Other songs in the film are:
Attam pOduthu - SJ (street dancer song)
dhIm thana thOm - VJ (item number)
ettu thikkum - SPB (a disco song popular during its days)
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow07/pudichchalum.rm
yes. RC.. u r correct !Quote:

Pick #607
Song: nIthi thEvan mayanggukiRAn
Film: Neethi Devan Mayakkam
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1982
"Neethi Devan Mayakkam" must have been (re)made in Telugu and Tamil at the same time. Directed by Bapu the film starred Madhavi, Bhanuchandar, Devi, Major Sundarrajan, Sowcar Janaki and others. Kamalahasan does a cameo role. Madhavi gives a good performance. Bhanuchandar gives an okay performance and gets away with his good looks. Saw him recently in the film "Thoovaanam". Still looks handsome. Read somewhere that Madhavi, retired from films, is running a beauty salon in Hyderabad.
The film has four songs. Three of them sound very TeFM-ish. And the lyrics sound TeFM-ish too. Today's pick is the fourth song.
The other songs are:
ARiraNdu paniraNdu - PS,SPB
dharma thulAbAram - SPB
oththigai thAnE - PS,SPB,SPS
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow07/nithi_thevan.rm
Hi Neel..
its a good song.
vara vara kadhai ezhudhAma thappichukareenga ! :evil:

thalaivar raanuva major a opening le varuvaare antha movie dhaane ithu... madhavi kku pair mike mohan nu ninaikkiren.
madhu & bobgalee,
Yes, it is the remake of Insaaf Ka Tarasu. Kamal plays a military guy in a court scene. Madhavi's boyfriend is not Mohan. His name is Raja or something. Not Kadalora Kavithaigal Raja. Never seen him any other Tamil film.
Pick #608
Song: kanagasabai / vanthALE / chErikkuL
Film: Kann Sivanthal Mann Sivakkum
Music: One or more of (Ilaiyaraja, Guru Dhananjayan, Traditional)
Singers: Ilaiyaraja, S.Rajeswari, A.L.Narayanan, T.V.Gopalakrishnan, Saibaba
Lyrics: Gopalakrishna Bharati, Vairamuthu
Year: 1982
The only full length song from "Kann Sivanthal Mann Sivakkum" that I know of is "manithA manithA ini un". Today's picks are three bit songs and two mirudhangam bits strewn over four scenes of the film. I put them togehter in one file. Do not know if any of these song bits are available in full length. "kanagasabai" is for a short dance recital by Guru Dhananjayan. "vanthALE" is the background song when Vijayamohan and Poornima Jayaram walk and talk together developing their friendship. "chErikkuL" is the background song when the Zamindar uses one of the poor village girls for sex. Not sure about the voices other than Ilaiyaraja and S.Rajeswari. Hence listing few others credited in the film.
The film directed by Sridhar Rajan was the story of a few idealists fighting against the dominance of the powerful in the society. It starred Vijayamohan, Poornima Jayaram, Jaishankar, Rajesh, Calcutta Viswanathan, Jayamala, and others. It was considered a good film in its time. But watching it now makes me think that it is a very tiring story. Poornima Jayaram in her starched cotton sarees, big pottu and the occassional untied long hair representing the urban elite of the 1980s was a breath of fresh air in the film.

vanthaale is classic. Love that whistling finish.
strange choice of song..Quote:
