Dear Neel,
Nice song. Nice rendition by KJY and SJ.. Rare pair..

madhu, I am glad to learn that it is not exactly rare. But it feels good to host a request and to highlight a nice song. :D

priya32, you are welcome.

Usha, thank you.

Pick #528

Song: vA vA vasanthamE
Film: Puthukkavithai
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Singer: Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1982

Jyothi shot to fame as T.Rajendar's heroine in "Rayil Payanangalil". Like many other heroines of TR she made a name for herself too. But just not a successful career. After pairing with Rajinikant in Puthukkavithai she retained the film title as part of her identity. I came across Jyothi few years ago in "Kadal Pookkal" playing mother to a teenage girl.

I had been searching for a Jyothi song for the last few months but couldn't find any rare ones. So, I settled for this popular and beautiful song by IR. So soothingly sung by MV the emotion is contagious. One of the best songs by MV. It takes me back to those damp mornings and slushy roads of my hometown and the vasantham coming from the radio flowing through the windows on to the streets...

This song is dedicated to the memory of "Puthukkavithai" Jyothi.

Vaa vaa vasathame sugam tharum suganthame
theruvengum oli vizha
deepangalin thiru vizha

vaa vaa vasathame sugam tharum suganthame

Aagaayame endhan kaiyil oonjal aadudho
poo megame endhan kannam thottu poogudho
sogam pogum un kangal mattum podhum
indha paatham nadanthathaal
valiyum theerndhathu vazhiyum therindhathu ohhh

Vaa vaa vasathame sugam tharum suganthame

En vaanile oru deva minnal vadhadhu

NOV,

Why "shocked"? Today's presentation of this song from the film Puthukkavithai is a dedication to Jyothi. Nothing to do with the song situation.

Neel, if you present something in memory of someone, it means that the someone is no more among us.

NOV: pudhukavithai Jothi passed away few months ago. She was suffering from Cancer, it seems!

:omg:

my condolences :(

NOV..

see the lyrics..

en vAnilE oru dEva minnal vanthadhu
en nenjinai adhu kiLLi vittu senRadhu

idhu pOdhAdhA ? :huh:

NOV,

I realized you did not know, after I replied. The news did not get a big coverage in the media.
