Song: iru maangani pol
Movie: vairam
Singers : Jayalalitha, SPB
Lyrics: ?
MD: TRPappa


I'm not a fan of kozha kozha voice of Jayalalitha. This song is an exception. She tries real hard to match SPB's charismatic voice.

The song is a direct lift of 'kuch kehta hai saawan' from mera gaon mera desh(MD-Laxmikanth pyarelal). The original was sung by LathaM and MRafi. Rafi is SPB's idol. No wonder SPB wants to give his best.

I have no clue about this film vairam. Was it a remake of MGMD?. I know the original had Ashaparekh, dharmendra , vinod khanna etc. Who were the actors in tamil?

I think Vairam had Jaishankar, Jayalalitha, Asokan and others in the cast. It was all about finding the diamonds located in a box(?) that lays in Jayalalitha's Carriage, I think. sariyaa gnabagam illai..

indha padam Jayalalitha-kkaagave Odichu-nu ninaikkiren..

Ramki..

I think vairam is the remake of "victoria no. 203" where the diamond is hidden in the lamp of a chariot..

some other songs I remember from the film are... "pArthen oru azhagi konjam pazhagi" by TMS and "idhu saavi pudhiya saavi idhan pootu enge konjam kaami".. "iravu muzhudhum virundhu vaikinren" by MRV

I remember the original heroine was "saira banu"

Nice song Ramki

This movie was based on 'Victoria NO 203" acted by Navin Nischol and Saira Banu. The song sequence in Tamil resembles the hindi Movie, though TRPapa could have been not impressed with Sonik-Omi song.

Nice movie in Hindi and was a big hit (was it Asokan in Jeevan's role?)

Bala

I did see vairam. IT wasremake of VIctoria no. 203. Even though the duet singing pair was navin nischol and saira banu the real lead men were ashok kumar and pran.
I think there was ashokan in the tamil version. I do not rememberwho the other old man was.
Victoria no. 203 was based on some James Hadley Chase novel.

Ramki: Soolamangalam's best song (IMO) is pOi vaa magaLe. But in ETI song also, she excels. Very soft and gentle rendition.

Heard that Vairam was a super hit though it was a re-make. Ashokan played comedy villain role alongwith Srikanth. I saw a song sequence for Jayalalitha (solo by herself) mayakking Srikanth. J looked so hefty (in arai-kurai aadai) in front of Srikanth. I think her duet with PS in Thirumangalyam "Thirumangalyam koLLum murai illaiyO" was great, of course J's part was like musical dialogues and not complete song.

Thanks everyone for the details. I didnt know
vairam is a popular film.

SN23 'poi vaa'is a good song but IMO her voice did not suit for NT

Pick #377

Song: idhaya vaanil ulavugindra
Movie: vadivangaL
Singers : SPB, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: vairamuthu
MD: Chandrabose

CB is one of the few MD's who can do music for a rajinikanth film or a NaLinikanth film without much fuss. He knew his talents were limited and always worked with few catchy or melodious tunes.
Todays pick is one of those hummable songs by CB.
The film had vanithashree and a new guy in the lead.
Good lyrics and clear rendition by the lead singers are plus points of this nice song.
