Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

hO, missed many gems due to many issues :(

1. I never heard the song uruvam kaNdu (neethipathi). TMS’s shrill kural alongwith KRR’s big voice looks very strange. But supera eedu kudukkarar. Many thanks aNNa :D

2. I like the way of MVD’s singing (SPB fans udaippangaLa?). Just a feeling thaan. The ever best male duet according to me is ponnondru kanden, though it was not on definitely breakable friendship :D

3. Ramki, how can you provide wrong info :lol:

Thirukalyanam came almost after the hit “madhura geedham” by VC Guhanadhan. TK’s Lead pair is Vijayakumar, Srividya and SR Vijaya (Arimugam). SRV is the main heroine. 2nd lady entering into VK’s life is Srividya. alaiye kadalaliye is for VK and SV. DevadhiagaL female duet is for the heroines.

4. vaazha ninaithal vazhalaam also had the 1 hero + 2 heroines story, Sripriya being Jai’s add-on :wink:

iyarkkai radhangaLe does not have the 80’s IR touch. PS is paLich in that song. If you watch the scene of veenai meettum kaigaLe, you will realize you committed a major blunder in your music life. Jayadevi with Veenai…NIL expressive face.... Song is also lengthy and slow paced. hO thaangadhu.

The best part of VNV is Manorama's peyyyyyya maya adiya oru chinnnnna kuyyyyy :lol. Must watch the nara nara reaction of ThEngai :lol:

Does anybody have the song "Kannan Enge" from "Madhura Geetham" ?

Ramki,

Thanks for the songs from Vaazha Ninaithaal Vaazhalaam. Wonderful songs. Neither sounds like a typical IR song. I have not seen the movie. Would love to watch Aachi's comedy after your recommendation.

Do you by any chance have the song "ithu iLamai kAla iravu" by SJ from the movie "Kai Pidithaval"?

SN23 -

Sri Vidya had a spate of films in a very short time (Ditto for Muthraman / Vijayakumar.) I'd merged posters of Thirukkalyaanam and Nalla Pennmani !
It came to me when I read your post and that detail on Mathura Geetham.. Nalla Pennamani had a fine duet by PS / KJY "Inangalilae Endha Inam Penninam... " Ramki!! :D

And another curiosity from VNV: While Jaya Devi Is playing this song on the veenai, doesn't the hero (cut to size) walk up and down the ridges? Or is my memory back to its usual tricks?

Veenai meettum kaigale...... enchanting song from hindustani Raaja with khamaj-bageshri kalapadam pallavi! Rich veena interludes, melodious singing by Janaki! Rt away I am thinking of ‘sugamo aayeram...’! Another Raaja tune with divine veena ludes!

Thanks,Ramki!

Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the IR song!!!

Beautiful melody by S.Janaki!!!

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

Hi Ramki..

Long back I requested for "idhu Ilamai kala iravu" and now Neel D is also asking.. I tried everywhere and unable to get it.. zzz

Thanks Naaz, raj,bala, meerakrishna, rajesh,usha,baroque.

JN not for next 3 weeks :)

SN23, i said 'i remember reading' :) And you know about my memory :). Thanks for other details.

Madhu/Neel - I do not have'idhu ilamaikaala' song. I will keep looking for it.

Pick #272

Song: Muthu tharagai
Film: oru kai osai
Singers: PSuseela,SPB
lyrics: vaali
Music: MSV


This is one of the 'good song bad, very bad picturisation' kind. Many of Bakyaraj's films had a dream song with him and the heroine in raja rani getup. While urvasi,ambika etc were atleast lookable, aswini was plain horrible.Aswini is only suitable for sad, brooding roles. Even in OKO she played a similar role , only this song was a huge mistake.
OKO was a ok film.KB played a deaf and dumb guy in love with a doctor(aswini).Sagili murugan,ponni etc were other actors.
I rember a LRE solo for Ponni. Any other good songs?

Ramki -

Although not the best representation of the PS MSV SPB team, this song is still hummable. An overlooked solo by SJ from the same film is "Naan Neerodaiyil Neeradaiyil Yaaro Vandhu Aedho Solli...Kaiyappidichchaan" I have searched high and low for this song, and now I submit it to you to add to the lost gems of SJ list - and find it! :D
