Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Anyone want to guess the next selection?

Clue: Another sridevi song. Her pair was
Rajkumar(Lathas brother) :idea:

Deiva thirumaNangaL? Stories of 3 deities Meenakshi (Latha + ???), Sreenivasar (Ravikumar + Sripriya) and Murugan-VaLLi (Rajkumar+Sridevi). I remember only this movie acted by these 2 as pair. But the music for Murugan-VaLLi thirumaNam is by GKV (not MSV)? Enna kuzhappareenga ???

HI..

SN23 , it may be "vethala kiLiye solladhe veLiye".. there are 3 MDs for this film..
is MSV for Srinivasa kalyanam ?

thanks for SJ songs

But i disgree that only SJ's voice as best fit for Sridevi

Oh oh I'm doomed :( :). I was under the wrong assumption that MSV was the MD(only) for 'deiva thirumanangaL' ..sigh. Anyways i will host 'vethala kiLiye' later and will continue with MSV-SJ series.

Thanks SN23 and Madhu for the correction

Pick #259

Song:varuvaan mohanaruban
Film: poNunjal
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics:kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan


What are the odds of featuring 2 Usha Nandini's songs in a single week?(I'm assuming that the song is for UN) :). This must be her week. How many tamil films she did? I can count 4. Any more?

My earliest memory of TFM is 'aagaya pandhalile'. The song always rekindles balya vayadhu memories in me. It is also my eldest sister's favorite song(I recently discovered that this song has a 3rd saranam ).
'nalla kaariyam seekiram' later became another favorite song of mine.
I discovered todays pick only recently. I instantly caught on to the song . The music and the voice is so pleasantfully melodious.
(The song always reminds me of MSV 80's song 'ezhudhugiraaL oru pudhu kavidhai')

This pick is one of my favorites too. The twists & turns right in the pallavi is lovely. The counterpoint (though simple) at the start of first interlude also caught my attention.

This song is so similar to 'kaatrukkenna veli', don't you think?

POW song list.

I am in the process of editing the subject lines so that a sort routine will pick up the song titles and movies in alphabetic order.
Now, you will get whatever is in the subject line ! :)

Ramki: Hereafter, please do not add the serial number in the subject line. Thanks.

Ramki, as madhu said, music for 'Srinivas kalyanam' of Deiva ThirumanangaL was scored by MSV. Meenakshi kalyanam's music was by KVM and VaLLi ThirumaNam by GKV. In my taste and opinion, MSV's was outstanding and all his 3 songs are great. Esp, "Mannavan thannaiye marakka", a slow expressive virutham kinda song by PS (for Sripriya) is excellent.

Somehow I also fall in line with you on SJ-Sridevi chemistry. I remember watching the film EngaL Kula Deivam (Muthuraman, KRV, Jaichitra). Sridevi acted as Kutti Jaichitra, daughter of Paambaatti. Her friend is Karuppan, a kutty paambu. SD runs and Karuppan thurathufying scene, I will never forget. SD screams "karuppa varadhadaa karuppa thorathathadaa" with laughters in between. That screachy screaming and laughters are as good as if SJ had dubbed for her. Such a match. But when SD became heroine, many had sung for her. Any idea whether LRE had sung for her????

Ramki, I am sure that you have a soft corner for mozhu mozhu actress from United Nations. Good to hear the unheard solo of SJ. She sings with lots of twists and turns like a snake, but something is missing. I feel she does not complete some words (hope my hearing is fine so far :-)).

Anyways, thanks Ramki.

Dear Ramki,

With Love,
Usha Sankar.
