ramki ,
I believe swarnamukhi was a hit. It came as a thodarkathai in vikatan only. some chithra's solos are awesome including this one, 'chinna chinna kanavugalae' - thuraimugam, 'kannomoochchu enaada'- KK, 'idhu thaana' - saamy, the latest addition being 'aruviyoda aruviyoda' from paasa paravaigal etc.
This song somehow resembles - Nilave ennidam nerungadhe
Is it bageshri Raag by chance ?
Nakeeran, it may be Raageshwari or even Naatakurinji which is also close to Bhageshri
Wait, it also looks like SriRanjini. May be experts should clarify whether it is SriRanjini/Bhagesri/Raageshwari.
Wonderful pick!! :)

"unakku mattum" - Nice pick...
All the yester year stars are going one by one.... So sad. :(
I am listening to today's pick for the first time. I am slowly getting addicted to it. :) Thanks Ramki.
Thanks everyone :)
Do i aslo detect some similarities with 'naadhemenum kovilile'?
Pick #415
http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/tamizhisai_hk.rm
Song: tamizhisai mazhai tharum
Movie: Harikrishans
Singers :KJYesudoss, Chitra, Unnikrishnan
Lyrics: ?
MD: Ouseppachan
Year : 1998
Singers from 3 different generations come together for this malayala dubbing song(Where do we get songs with swarams in tamil nowdays?). I believe in malayalam the song was sung by sreekumar, chitra and KJY.
Director Fazil is one of the best directors in Indian cinema. But in the past 10 years he has not given any good films. Some might say 'kaadhalukku mariyadhai', which IMO is an average film but with a fantastic climax scene. Even in Malayalam, apart from Vismayathumbathu(Mohanlal, Nayantara) I have not read any good reviews on his recent films.
Im not sure about the commercial success of 'Harikrishans', which had a stellar cast including Mammooty, mohanlal, juhi chawla, but the film was thrashed by critics. But as like all Fazil films , this one too had some good songs. You can listen to the malayalam version of the songs in all famous music websites.
Harikrishnans was the one with (supposedly) two climax versions right? With Mammootty getting the girl in his strongholds(Malabar etc) and Mohan Lal in his(Trivandrum etc). Wasnt a great movie by any standards I guess. Which song is this in malayalam?
In Malayalam, this song is "Samayamithapoorva Sowbhagyam..." the semi-classical number.Quote:

This song uses some not-so-often-heard ragas: Navarasa Kannada ("naan oru vilayaattu bommaya' ragam), Begada and the KJY part is in Sahana.
Haikrishnans was a typical mallu-style murder mystery. Neither too good nor too bad. A time pass movie that required no fazil,mammoty,mohanlal combo.
Ramki, 'pollaatha' should be Bageshri or Sriranjani (which is the raga of 'naadhamenum kovilile'). Experts from mars can clarify :smile2:
RR :)
sirichaa pOdhumaaa.... karuthu sollunga FM! :)
UK sounded different when the song starts....
RC, naan karuthu solli enna aaga pOvuthu :)
Actually it has shades of both Sriranjani and Bageshri( This is the expert opinion, not mine :lol:)
Unakku mattum: For quite a long time I thought this song was on Saroja Devi. Very nice song except that "rehasiyam" instead of Ragasiyam :-)
EVS had beautiful eyes like SriVidya; may be Vidya was another EVS not becoming highly-popular artiste.
VetkamAi irukkudhadi from pAr MagaLE pAr is for Vijayakumari and Pushpalatha. Not EVS. VK danced like a man :lol:
Polladha maaya kannan: I also think it is in Bageshri. Very well sung by Chithra, with ever-green punnagai :D
Thamizhisai: Here UK's voice is so femalish and I never enjoyed his songs incl PoovukkuL oLindhirukkum. He shoudl have stuck with only Carnatic music, IMHO :cry:
I heard that HarikrishnaNS was an average movie at the BO as well.( 100 days in big cities in Kerala)
I heard it as 'rahasiyam' which is correct! :)Quote:

Personally, I liked the Ponnambal song. The Malayalam version of Thamizh Isai is great.
I too lament that Fazil has not had a big hit in recent times. His last 2 films in Tamil were disasters. I hope he comes back with some great films.
Thanks everyone. Did UK sing for Lal or mammooty?
Pick #416

Song: ulagin mudhalisai
Movie: Thava Pudhalvan
Singers :TMSoundararajan, PBSrinivas
Lyrics: kaNNadasan/PBSrinivas
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1972
Couldn't think of any other song to conclude this 'swara' week. An enchanting jugalbanthi by TMS and PBS. PBS easily wins TMS with his melodious voice and humming. TMS voice kind of quivers in the initial and final phases of the song. I think the song was picturised on Sivaji and Balaji(I could be wrong).
I always wonder why MSV stopped using PBS in the mid 70s. He still had a good voice and could have sung some of the songs that went to KJY or SPB. I can easily imagine PBS singing 'deivam thandha veedu' :).
The song quality is so so. It was reproduced from a cassette and i didnt have the patience/time to make it sound better :)
In 1972, Sivaji gave super hits films like Raja, Gnana OLi, PattikAdA PattaNamA, Vasantha Maligai. Also a super flop movie Dharmam EngE + Average run films Thava Pudhalvan (it was not a hit, if I am correct) and Needhi.
In TP, colour blindness (OR mAlaikaN nOi?) was the centre of the story and very well plotted. Pandari bai was his mother gave an excellent support.
TP had kalyANi based all-time hit solo of TMS "isai kEttAl puvi asaindhAdum" and English-Thamizh duet "loev is fine darling" by Ajit Singh and LRE besides this Thamzih-Hindi male duet. Surprisingly no song for the heroine KRV, through she appeared in the Isai kEttAl dream song based on ThAnsEn.
Ramki, As you said PBS had good voice even in early 70's. Why no MDs were using him :-(
Did PBS gave voice for Balaji in this song? or someone else from Bollywood?
Ramki
You picked another one that I was thinkig about recently. Great song (despite TMS). I think one of the excellent example how PBS could sail thru even tough phrases without showing a hint of discomfort in his voice.
Is 'kannan koyil paravai' in the swara pick list?
I too like ponnambil more than all other songs in harikrishna and it got more TV time than any other song. I too got it alongwith padaiappa cd only.
The DP song was picturised on Sivaji and Tikkurisi (mallu actor).. Its a potti song..
SN23, i think sivajis character suffers from 'maalai kaN'. I remember watching the 'kingini kinginyene varum' song. He will fall in the middle of the song and the kids will laugh and TMS will start crying :)
RR andha song illaiye en kitte:(
Rajutvs thanks.

Song: iru vizhigaL thirandhadhamma
Movie: chinna muL periya muL
Singers :SJanaki, Jayachandran
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh
Year : 1981
Rajbharath is one of the few directors who handled crime subjects very well. I enjoyed his uchakattam and CMPM too.
CMPM had shanthikrishna, srinath and babyanju. Though SK had the author backed role its baby anju who will steal the show.
I watched CMPM 2 years back in raj tv. I watched the film mainly for todays pick. The song was aired couple of times during the film's short life in the theatres. It caught my attention but the song vanished from the airwaves very soon. So when i got the opportunity to watch the film i was eager to listen to the song again. Unfortunately the song was not shown. Im not sure if the song was not picturised or the channel edited the song :(.
But i was glad the film was interesting. It was also very short. The film had one more solo by SJ 'iravil ore nilavil'.
Until i saw the film i was under the impression that the music was by either IR or GA. The interludes are very IRish. I was surprised to see SGs name in the title.

==> Ramki Sir, I beg to differ regarding interludes. They may resemebles some IRs pieces, but no where IR'ish. However you might have seen the similarity because
a. The starting of the song reminds "Iru Paravaigal Malai" from NMP
b. In 80s and 81s, SG used a lot of Violin interludes and hence this song may resemble some Ir's old pieces

Song: nooraandu vaazhum
Movie: oorellaam un pattu
Singer : Jayachandran
Lyrics: ?
MD: iLaiyaraja
Year : 1991
Jayahchandran-Ramarajan is a very rare combination. I know 2 other songs, one is 'jal jal salangai kulunga' and the other is from a dubba movie 'ivargaL indhiyargaL'(cant recall the first line).
In 90s JC was not singing many(he never was singing many anyways). I was surprised when i first listened to this song. IR rarely used him for these kind of songs. JC does a great job especially in the end.
I wonder why IR stopped using him after early 90s. The last song i remember in their combination is 'indha kolakiLi sonnadhe'(ponvilangu)released in 1993.
OUP had Ramarajan,nandhini(?) and aishwarya. It had 2 good songs. OUP(KJY/SL/IR) and thom thom(KJY). The film did not do well in chennai. Could have been a 50 dayer in other towns.
PJ has done a good Job, Thanks Ramki
Sounds similar to Raga Dheepam from Payanangal. Is this Hamsanandhi too?
Bala
ivarkaL indhiyarkaL, *suhashini, Chandrasekar :)
I agree with Balaji, sounds very much like 'raaga deepam'
never heard this song, nice one though.
Bala, Mahesh- I too thought it sounds like raagadeepam, but i also found some similarities to 'kalaivaaniye'
FM neenga solradhu 'indhiya kanavu'. IvargaL indhiyargaL had Lakshmi,Ramarajan , Madhuri etc.

Song: vaa vaa aadi vaa
Movie: kallukkuL therai
Singer : Jayachandran
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shyam
Year : ?
When i hosted 'poomalaigaL iru thoL' from kallukkuL therai, SN23 mentioned 'vaa vaa aadi vaa'.
I have also heard someothers mentioning this song. Last week i found this song in a website sent by yvsmani.
I was hooked to the song on the very first listening. Jayachandran sings the song extremely well.
The song is a fast paced one and needs good breath control.
The song reminds me of 'aadal kalaiye devan thandhadhu' and 'kaNNaamoochi aenadaa' ..same raaga?

Nalla song. I believe Sha Naaz (Prem Nasir's son) acted in the movie. I am not sure of the heroine. Nalini/Viji or some one like that. But as the songs came in Inreco used to hear in that INRECO program that used to come on Tuesdays(not sure)
