This is the first time i heard Mangala media song. though the music is not matured, tune is interesting for college students dance. I thought it is shailaja when listening to the starting of song, then realised it is PS in the charanams. worth listening. thanks
Malligai poo vaangi vandhen is by AL Ragavan, not SPB. who sang engirundhallum vazhga. Am I wrong?
Ramki, did you notice the aariro aariro in between charanams of MadhuLai muthukkaL song is sung by B vasantha? Very sweet voice.
But (with due respects), PB's singing is very bad. she sings like reading. I did not like at all. Ore sirippa vandhadhu listening to her tamil ucharippu :)
Friends -
Let me direct you to the preamble of this thread, to an especially intuitive statement by Ramki:
"The joy of sharing such discoveries with others could be boundless."
From all your responses to Maharani Unaiththedi, you have provided proof that it IS boundless! I am touched that this duet touched you also.
In the second charanam, SJ expresses a beautiful sentiment with an evocative wispyness: "Silirkkum, Idhazh Virikkum, Thannai Marandha Nilaiyile..." (listen to her thadumaatram when she voices "Nilaiyile" - a shaken stasis, imaginatively realised) - this summation of love-making is exactly what a song like this does to me: It makes love to my whole being, a moment to relive again and again with a song. IRs early compositions capture that "boundless joy" with such mastery....Thannai Marandha Nilaiyile...and a smile lights my face, while a torpor of memory washes over...
A heartfelt thanks to Ramki for featuring my selections with enthusiasm.
And thanks to you all for your generous applause.
vel I do think its BVasantha and you are wrong about 'malligai poo'. It is by SPB.
Pick #240

Song: andharanga neerkuLathil/kaanalile meen vettai/nee varuvaiyene
Film: Sujatha
Singer: Jayachandran
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
A Jobless postgraduate who is also a poet, a romantic, a victim of stepmom abuse. When the one and only person who believes in him, loves him for what he is , leaves him for marital bliss the poet in him screams for the forgotten love. Kannadasan , as ever, raises to the occasion(or situation) and brings out the screams as pudhukavidhais.
Jayachandrans haunting voice brings out the nuances of the kavidhais with perfect expressions.
Balajis 'Sujatha' ,a malayalam remake, had Saritha, Vijayan, Shankar, Rajalakshmi etc. Shankar played the PG poet role and Saritha his sister's. Rajalakshmi played shankar's love interest.
The film was not recieved well. The story was too dark for our masala tamil viewers(Shankar's poet commits suicide, Sarithas character dies of Cancer etc etc - she even shaved her head for the role).
Kalyanai menons version of 'nee varuvaiene' was the highlight of the movie.
The film also had the PS song 'engirundho vandha paravaigaLe'
Ramki, MuthukkaL moondru endru sonnAl migai Ahadhu :-) PJ's singing is very nice especially his pronounciation. TheLivu + Gambeeram are his assets. MSV had selected the perfect singer.
Rajeev menon's mother did a so-so job but the song became the most popular song.
I do not remember PS's song in the film. Is it for Rajalakshmi?
Overall Sujatha was a good film (like Sridhar's AlaigaL with Vishnuvardhan and Chandrakala), but too much of sOham spoiled the interest of movie viewers.
Vel1970, Malligai poo was the very first movie song (from released movie) of SPB. Agree with you that his voice had some shade of ALR, but SPB thaan adhu :-)
Ramki, I thought Govardhan was MD for Malligai poo vaandgi vandhEn, but stand corrected with your infomation :-)
Radha Jayalakshmi sung the song "Vennilaavum Vaanum" from Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari.
For all the list of songs sung by RJ

SN23 'engirundho' ,i think, is for Saritha
Pick #241
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/kan_kk.rm
Song: kaN paarum devi
Film: kokkarakko
Singer: iLaiyaraja
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Music: iLaiyaraja
Soon after 'oru thalai raagam' became a smashing hit, YGM produced anddirected a stage drama titled 'oru kolai raagam'.
A 13 year old girl was the main lead and she did a splendid job.
Within a year or so the girl made her debut in 'kokkarakko'. I think her original name was kavitha but it was changed to iLavarasi by 'KK's director GA. Her jodi was a thin and very fragile looking kid(Mahesh kumar?) who also made his debut in KK. The film was really stupid but found moderate success because of the songs.
'geetham sangeetham and 'mayilapore pakkam mayilai kaNdene' were super hits
Todays pick is based on Mayamalawagowlai raagam(thanks to ROS). Though IR goes off shruthi at few instances , the song is still a treat.
The film also had a SJ solo ..cannot recall the lines :(
