Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Neel,SN and Vel
Thanks for your appreciation about Paruvakalam.
The songs were big hits. The original Malayalam Chemabarathy was a hit.
I have seen the name of P.N.Menon's name appearing as Art director in many Tamil movies. When I saw the movie Devathai directed by P.N.Menon, I went on to find the details about him. Had he directed Paruvakalam in Tamil as the original Chembarathy, the film would have been a sensitive one. Directed by Jos Fernando, it is an average movie which had an average run in theaters.

balaji, is the song "ITHU ORU PUDHU VIDHA" song in KanniTheevu a fast paced S.Janaki song that starts of quite like the Rishimoolam SJ song "Mazhai Varuvadhu Mayillukku Theriyum"? This song has a fanstastic Guitar and flute first interlude and in the second one has Malaysia Vasudevan humming. If this is it, do you have it?

Thanks

Sorry natha, I do not have. Ramki have you heard this song?

Bala

Balaji, thanks for the reply. This was played freqeuntly in Radio Srilanka early 80s.

Thanks everyone

Pick #283

Song: uravo pudhumai
Film: aadu puli aatam
Singer: SPB
lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: Vijaybhaskar

Due to increased requests for VB songs, i plan to host couple of his rare songs this week.

'uravo pudhumai' kicks off the series. 'vaanukku thandhai avano' ,the other good song from APA was already featured in POW.

I think todays pick is picturised on kamal and sangeetha on a bicycle. Sangeetha was a good looking actress but unfortunately she always did the second heroine role. I think her first film is 'deepam'(as sivajis sister). I could be wrong though. I also remember playing the female lead in couple of flop films.
She is now a popular 'amma' actress

Great Song. The kannada song (is it Besage Besage??) was a great song too.

On Sangeetha, the one acted in Deepam was called Sivaji Sangeetha. There was anothe Sangeetha who acted as MGR's sister (was it Meena Nanban?). I believe this Sangeetha acted with Rajini in AAV in the 'Kanmaniye Kadhal.' song.

I am eagerly waiting for the songs of VB other than the famous MMV, MOM, USO and KAV.

Thanks Ramki
Bala

Ramki, Song name is repeated as film name; Correct pannunga :-)

Vijayabaskar was a breeze like V.Kumar who had given many good songs. Though he was not very popular like IR, MSV etc, he was one among talented MDs in TFM. I like this song very much. Very soft as if ilavam panju :-)

Sangeetha clarification (romba periya vishayam !!):

'MGR'Sangeetha was introduced in Anna en deivam (MGR's film with Latha), which was incomplete. I think this was renamed as Avasara Police 100, directed by Bagyaraj in 90's. Sangeetha who acted as MGR's sister in original movie, continued acting in AP100 as Bagyaraj's mother. A hopeless movie, though few scenes were shown with MGR and Latha. This MGR-Sangeetha only acted in Deepam, APAatam etc.

Whereas 'Sivaji'Sangeetha was introduced in Ilaya Thalaimurai. She acted as oru-thalai-Kadhali of Sivaji and there was a dashing scene of Sivaji lying over Sangeetha :lol: I think this Sangeetha did not act in any more movies.

Later one more Sangeetha (really talented) came in thru MahaNadhi (Shobana's adult paruva girl / Kamal's daughter) and acted in many good films incl. Poove Unakkaaga.

4th Sangeetha (originally as Rasika) acted in Pithamagan.

Innum Eththanai SangeethavO... theriyavillai :lol:

I remember sangeetha and kamal riding in bike in this song as ramki has said.
indhap padaththaip patri nianivukku vandhadhu:
madhan is kamal's name in this movie.
kamal adikkadi indhap padaththile"idhu thaan madhan style" nu solvaar, inspite of rajini being in the cast. :D
sangeetha veetil kamal kudi iruppaar. rendu perum kaadhalipaanga. kamal velai thedrappo vaLaiyal koduththu sangeetha help pannuvaanga. kamal ku adikkadi slow motion le sangeetha valaiyal eduththuttu railway station varadhu pola scene kaN munnaale vandhutte irukkum. kamal velai le sera mudiyaame poyi rajini and innum rendu per? oda sErndhu thavaRaana paadhai le poyiruvaar.
sangeetha kamal ku wait paNNi avar varaadhadhinaale nun aayiduvaanga.

SPB kalakkuraar indha song le.
Other songs in this movie:
SPB's vaanukku thandhai evano - for kamal
VJ's poongkuyil paadudhu kaadhal raagam paadudhu - for Sripriya
VJ's maname solaiyaam, ninaivugaL malargaLaam - for Aparna.

JN..

Its AAdu puli aattaam featuring Rajini, Kamal, Sangeetha and others...

Rajini was the villain and Kamal , the hero....

nice movie..

the super hit song in this movie was...Vaanukku thandhai evano....

Infact, every Id or during Ramzan festival, Doordharshan Chennai invariably will put this song
