Pick #429

Song: maathavamen maadhavane
Movie: raja rishi
Singers : SJanaki, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: PulamaiPithan
MD: iLaiyaraja
Year : 1985
Rajarishi is a good comedy film and todays song sequence is the most hilarious scene of the lot. No Im not kidding.
The song sequence is for Menakai mayakkufying Viswamithrar.
When chosing the actor for menaka the director(shankar?) might have imagined the following scenario.
DevargaL: 'mannaa..boologothil viswamithrar meendum aazhndha thavakolathil irukkiraar.
adhai kalaikka muyarchi edungaL'
indhiran: 'nalladhu oorvasi rambai menaka ambika radha anuradha discoshanthi
yaaraiyavadhu anuppi mayakka sollungaL'
devargaL : 'muyarchi seidhom aanaal avargaLin callsheet kidaikkavillai'
indhiran(manadhirkkuL): viswamithrar kaanju poi kidakaar yaarai anupicha enne.
devaragaLidam ' sari indha oorvasi ramba menaka aishwarya ivangaLoda amma yaaravadhu irundhaal
anuppi vaiyungaL'
devargaL 'avargaL yaarukkum nadanam theriyaadhe mannaa'
indhiran: adhanaala ennaiyaa. kaNNai mooditirkkira munivarkku break dancennu theriyuma
twist dancennu theriyumaa .chumma poi kai kaalai aattittu varattum.
Based on this wild imagination the director should have chosen actress Lakshmi for the apsaras role.
We were then treated(or punished) to watch a aged, bloated (talented) lakshmi shaking her arms and legs
and hip(whatever left of it) to this good composition by IR.
What was more torturing was the 'seductive' poses Lakshmi was asked to make throughout the song
udhattai kadithal vazhithal, imai padapadathal, oru madhiri paarthal..kodumai. Even normal man will become
a thuravi after witnessing her 'actions' :)
If you find this funny wait till the climax of the song.
Sivaji, freshly enticed by Lakshi, will wake from his penance and will try to embrace her.
But their thoppais will prevent it happening and finally(after several takes)
they will manage a clumsy hug. This scene is not for weak hearted :lol:
Try listening to the song without visualising anything i said above :)
It has some good singing by SJ, neat lyrics by PP(The song has resemblance to 'poongaatre theendathe'(kunguma chimizh)
Excellent write up, came back from a bad day at work and could not control laughing. Thanks

My pick is Maan kandEn from this film. VJ sang beautifully :-)
Have you watched telugu Vishwamitra? NTR with Meenakshi Seshadri :lol:
"ezuthAtha pAdal" is a lovely song. It belongs in a Sivaji or MGR film. At least Muthuraman, Gemini Ganesh, Vijayakumar. Someone who had a better screen presence than young Kamalahaasan. Regardless of the actor, a score requires singers who can best execute it. TMS fits perfectly. K.Swarna is better suited for songs like "ennOdu ennennavO". She struggles to keep up with TMS. Any of the four leading ladies of the time would have done full justice to the song.
Ramki: paattai vida un writing rasiththen.
Nicely sung by SJ. :)
Ramki -
All day I've been wondering when (at what point in the plot) this song is featured in the film? I think I'll give up. Going by your review, forgetting all about Rajarishi might not be such a bad thing!
:lol:
The song in which SJ / Lakshmi chemistry works well is Vasantha Kaala Kolangal (Thiyaagam) This is a bit of a coincidence, but just two days ago I was thinking of another SJ / L song: "Naanum Neeyum Saerndhu, Ezhil Vaanam Pola Vazhndhu..." (Thandikkapatta Niyaayangal?) A Shankar-Ganesh original!
Ramki, thanks for this beautiful song.
regards
Meera.
Thanks everyone :)
SN23-NTR-MS makes some sense. Menagai is supposed to by young and beautiful and MS is both. Viswamithrar is supposed to be old, which NTR is. After doing thavam for several days with food or water, these munivars should be skinny. NTR nor NT were anything but skinny :)
Naaz the other good songs in SJ-Lakshmi are
'poNvaanam paNNeer thoovudhu'(my favorite) and
'maatha un kovililil'
Pick #430

Song: kuyilosaiyai vellum
Movie: mannippu
Singers : PSuseela, APKomala
Lyrics: Vaali
MD: SMSubbaiyah Naidu
Year : 1969
While filming one of the scenes in mannippu, Actress venniradai nirmala met with a freak accident that left her scarred forever.
One crucial scene in mannippu was AVMRajan trying to molest VN.
Her character tries to escape from him but hits her head on a wooden table and dies.
During the scene, the director wanted VN to keep her eyes open(after her character dies). He then made AVMR sprinkle water into her face. One of the water drop hit her with great force. She felt immense pain but the scene took few takes to complete. By the time the scene was successfully completed her eye was totally swollen. She was rushed to hospital but the doctor couldnt do much. Though the pain subsided, she lost the ability to blink her eye.
VN mentioned this in her malarum ninaivugaL.
'Mannippu' also had Jaishankar and lakshmi. AVMR and Lakshmi played sibilings and VN played lakshmis pattu teacher(todays song is for them).
SMS tuned some good songs for Mannippu. Todays pick is the least popular of the three(i know). The other 2 popular numbers are
'nee enge en ninaivugaL'(TMS/PS) and
'vennilaa vaaanil'(TMS,PS).
Which is the last film of SMS?
nice pick and good lyrics by vaali
PS for VN and APKomala for Lakshmi..
initially PS refused to sing because APK is senior to PS and the situation is like PS teaching to APK but APK accepted without any problem and SMS made PS feel comfortable
PS said this during a chat
Hi Ramki,
Nice pick!. All these days I thought the co-singer of this song is Jikki!
I made the correction to be APK after your posting.
BTW can I request for a song from 'Engamma sabatham'. It is a duet by SPB and VJ. The song starts with 'Anbu megame ingu oodiva enthan thunaiyai azhaithu vaa...'
MP
Which is the last film of SMS?
Ramki
My memory says "KaviRaaja Kalamegam" with TMS and Veniradai Nirmala..
Or at least it is one of SMS's last movies
Nice song, what a sweet voice? PS konjugirar

Song: oru naal irundhen
Movie: edhirigaL jakkiradhai
Singers : TMS, PSuseela, Shobha(chandrasekar)
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Vedha
Year : 1967
This is a cute song , definitely not vedhas original. Does anyone know the hindi original? I like the waltzy construction of the pallavi and PSuseelas lead in the saranam. TMS fill in laughs is artificial but well it was the 60s :).
I know EJ had jaishankar, manohar, LVijayalakshmi. Was the song picturised on any of the above ?
The film had some good songs like 'nerukku ner nindru', 'enakkoru aasai ippodhu', 'neeyaaga enai thedi'.
nalla paatu Ramki..
TMS, PS rendu perum low pitch-leye paada shoba mattum :mrgreen: pappa maadhiri paaduvadhu.. konjam different-than... adhuvum 60s-la...
I am always kuzhappifying myself that the hero is Ravichandran... :oops:
KuyilOsaiyai vellum PS kuarl. Indha pAttu PS-ukkahavE ezudhi pattadhO :-)
APK's does not fit Lakshmi at all.
Mannippu's nee engE song is the most famous in the film, esp TMS's version. Is it for Jai?
Madhu, your confusion could be due to Oru marathil kudi irukkum song, which is from Enga pAppA (Ravichdran and Kannada Kalpana) :-)
Ramki, do you have that song (TMS and PS versions)?
SN23 :
adhunala illai... coz this song is for manohar and manimala I think..
( just like that modern theatres padam enraal anegama jaishankarthan iruppar.. irundhalum indha padathu hero mattum eppavume enakku kuzhappam koduppar..)
mannippu .. "nee enge" is the only song with three different tunes I think.. is it correct ?
Ramki,
I think the hindi original of 'oru naal' is 'Heana bolo bolo Pappa bolo bolo'. I vaguely remember the hero of the hindi film is shammi kapoor and heroine is Hemamalini. Film:andaaz
MP
Ramki: Wonderful pick.
Madhu: Indha song manohar, manimala and avanga chinna paiyan paadraanga. Shoba's voice is for that boy. paappa voice pola thaane irukkanum? :)
The simple dance by the family is nice to watch. :) (I am not talking about the boy dancing alone here... like twist dance).
There is also a sad version of this song sung by and manimala(PS) and her son (Shoba) when manohar is in jail. We got the video files of these 2 versions in PS fans group a while ago.
MP: the tamil version of hEy na bolo bolo is
chiththi sollu sollu
maama sollu sollu
appa kitte chiththikkum
chiththi kitte appavukkum kaadhal kaadhal... from the movie arunodhayam.
JN : andha film arunodhayam illai...." kanimuthu pappa"Quote:

Thanks everyone.
SN23 i have TMS version and i think i have the PS version too but i have to look.
Madhu im aware of 2 versions of 'nee enge' Who sang the third version?
3 versions of Nee enge
one by TMS 2 by PS(one happy for Lakshmi and one sad for VN )

Song: muthu mani kaNNanukku
Movie: sudarum sooravaLiyum
Singer : SJanaki
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1971
Those lovely old 'DD only channel' sundays. You watch the munnottam to catch the title of next week's film. You see name like 'sudarum sooravaLiyum' and go 'oh crap'.
Well the film was anything but crap. It was a compelling tale of trust , love and betrayal. The film had
Gemini ganesh, Muthuraman, venniradai nirmala, Jaya , soban babu etc.
GG played a widower with 2 young children(boy and girl) to support. Unable to find work he helps the villains by doing cheque forgery. He gets caught and
is thrown in jail. Brother and sister are left to fend for themselves. They grow up(Muthuraman and Jaya) not knowing where the father is. Muthuraman falls in love with a doctor(VN) and jaya gets married to a banker(soban babu). GG gets released from jail. The villains still wanting to exploit his forgery talents lures
him by promising to show where his kids are. The bad guys plan a bank heist and during the crime GG
kills one of the banker. He flees from the police and lands up in Muthuramans house . Everyone is overjoyed
with the reunion but its short lived as GG soon learns that he banker he killed is his own son in law.
The death of soban babu will not be revealed to the pregnant Jaya. The rest of the film is about guilt, love
and revelation.
The film had excellent performance from all but the real scene stealer was Jaya. The titles said 'arimugam' Jaya. But her portrayal of a naive innocent girl was better than many experienced performers.
MSV tuned in some good songs.
'anbu vandhadhu'(SPB for GG/TMS,SJ for Muthu and Jaya)
'anubhavam thaane peravendum'(TMS, LRE)
'thaalikku..'(SJ)
The film was directed by seasoned kaNNada director Puttanna kanagal.
Thanks to yvsMani for sending this song.
Nalla Padal. Janaki sounds like a teen.

Thanks for the song, ramki.
Sudarum Sooraavaliyum brings me the Roopavahini memories. I recall seeing it in bits and pieces in between election result announcements.
Beautiful song Ramki. Thank you.

Song: anbu megame
Movie: engamma sabadham
Singers : Vani Jairam, SPB
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Vijayabhaskar
Year : 1974
I received so many requests for this song(the recent request was by MP), that i couldn't NOT host this song.
The song has been listened, discussed and praised many many times. Nothing is left to add. But this is one of the thigattatha paadal. You can listen to great many times and will still love it.
I watched this film in theatre. But i was way too young then and do not remember the story line. The only(vague) memory i have is Jaichitra and vidhubala in some fight scenes.
Sivakumar and Muthuraman were the hero(in)es.
'vaa iLamai azhaikkindrathu'(TMS,PS,SPB,VJ)
Any more songs?
Ramki..
even if u forget the storyline ... dont worry..
same story was used again in "vanaja girija" :lol:
Ramki,
Though I love to listen to rare pow songs, don't you think it is nice once in a while to remember a popular song like this one? :wink:
Storyline: (May be wrong in some places due to my fading memory). :)
Jayachithra and vidhubala are sisters and their mother brings them up with hatred for Siva and muthu's parents. She wants to take revenge on siva and muthu's parents using her daughters for sending her husband to jail. idhaan engamma sabadham.
The 2 sisters somehow marry the brs and try to break the family up. Hence the fight between the sisters. :)
In the end, jc's father comes from jail and reveals that he is the culprit and the girls and mom relaise their mistake and subam. :)
indhap paattile jayachithra thookaththil nadakkira viyaadhi nu sivakumar kitte solli beach ku nadandhu povaa. sk will follow her and both sing this song. :)
