I used to go on bus from Bhuvanagiri (a town near Chidambaram) to Cuddalore to get to my college(eventhough I used bus for only 3 months) and this song would be played in the bus everyday.

Appo kettathoda sari, ippathan indha paadalai thirumba ketkkiren!

Nice pick indeed NeelD, thanks for the song!

madhu & Jack, thanks for the info.

SN23,
Thanks for the storyline. Ravichandran couldn't have been that aged in 1978. He was like 20 in Kadhalikka Neramillai and was very handsome.
I wish Thyagarajan had stayed an actor few more years, like 10 more years or 15 more years. He can pair with any heroine he wants. If he had stayed longer that would have delayed his son's entry and saved me from few years of torture.

bobgalee,
anbE oru Asai gItham is a lovely song. It is still somewhat popular. That is why I went with the rare song thAli seyyattumA. Please check your pm about submitting songs to POW.

Usha, thank you.

From Mars, welcome back. Mars-il mazaikkAlamA? Earth pakkam vanthu vittIrgaL.

RC, you are welcome.

priya32, you are welcome. Glad to take you back in time.

Neel: yAr mEla kOvam? Prashanth mElayA OR avarai petreduththa thandhai meedhA? Hope not on me :lol:

SN23,

Kobam illai. Just kiNdal with some erichchal. :)
Someone ought to send that pretty boy to acting school.

Pick #527

Song: vAn vanthu thEn sinthum
Film: Engal Thaaikkulame Varuga
Music: Chandrabose
Singers: S.Janaki, K.J.Yesudas
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1986

It is kind of amusing how these days some MD comes up with an average melody and everyone celebrates it like it is a big deal. Listen to the beautiful light classical vAn vanthu. One of the best from Chandrabose. SJ and KJY in their best forms. I am quite surprised that this song was actually overlooked and has become rare. May be it should be re-released. It will become a superhit.

This song reminds of another nice light classical "thalaivA nI vA" by Chandrabose for the film Puthiya Paathai, but was not featured in the film and went overlooked.

This song is a nEyar(priya32) viruppam.

Hi Neel..

nice pick. But I dont think its a rare one, as its aired often in many radio stations. IMHO CB is better in melody than kuthu songs.
This song proves it. :P

Thanks NeelD for featuring my request :) !

Well in this particular song, you can feel the 'chemistry' of both singers' voices. Lovely song!
