Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

A serene twang undulates, the waves lap and layer...and mighty Aphrodite rises from the Ocean.
Samudra Rajakumari, the goddess of beauty and romance, holds us all in such hyper hypnosis!

The song is an ode to her spellbinding presence. MSV distills her classical appeal rightly with the choice of VJ for this song. Among the stellar moments in this duet:

"Ponniraththu Vanna Idhazh Paadattum" From Aphrodite's lips to her own ears, such scintillating self-congratulation has to be heard to be relished....

"Ilaya Veenai Pudhiya Raagam..." The languor of love on a new scale, newly born in the enunciation of "pudhiya raagam"...

"Pesattum..." A command to sweet-nothings, tremulously coy in its prompt...

Around 3:03 a soft jazz breeze kisses the ocean's bosom...

And with Namo Namo Namahaa...the voices blend in connsumate union...ArdhaNaarEshwara in rapture.

The delight washes over again and again and again.

A joyous thanks to Ramki and Neel D for this love soaked moment.

Ramki/SN23/Naaz,

You are most welcome.

Thanks everyone.

Premananth, I do not have that solo with me.

Sorry :(. The other JC song for Sivaji 'oru osaiyindri mounamaaga'. The song is played in the background.

The similarity between 'engaL vadhyar' and 'school vadhyar' ends with the name. Storyline is totally different.

'naan naanethaan' had vadivukarasi and Rajesh. The only song i remember is 'vaanavillin varnajalangaL'(SPB). I'm not sure of the vanisree song.

Pick #294

Song: Sriraman Sridevi
Film: Dowry Kalyanam
Singers: SPB, VaniJairam
lyrics: kaNNadasan?
Music: MSV

Visu's inital films were not only interesting but socially relevant too. One of them was 'dowry kalyanam'. The film dealt with the dowry plague that was haunting(still very Prevalent in rural areas) our society. Some of the scenes were so realistic that it felt like watching the marriage video of our sisters/daughters wedding.
I saw the film long time back so do not remember many details. The film had Visu, Srividya, Pushpalatha, viji, vijaykanth etc. Todays song is for Viji VK pair.

Visu spoiled his career by playing and making too many pattukottai periyappa udumalai chithappa roles and movies. The last film of his that i liked was 'thirumadhi oru vegumathi', which is a remake of Rajinis 'sadhurangam'(sadhurangams story was by Visu)

Really Nice Song Ramki. Thanks.

Vishnu Avathaaram peyargal konda varigalai eLzuthuvathaanaal, Kannathaasannukku Aarvam ponnggividum.

Thanks for the reply on Maalaiyittu Song. I have it in the "Record". Unfortunately, my gramophone spoiled out long time ago.

Could you host below songs whenever you free?

Aayiram Aandugal from Adukkumalli
Vithaara Thanggam from Pesu Maname Pesu (does this movie released ?)
Vaadiyamma Pon magale from Paalootti Valartha Kili

This is one of my favorite MSV (later day) songs. I think it's in vaasanthi.

I remember there are two pairs in this song. It starts off as a Annan-Thangai (did VK play annan?) duet - I was intrigued by this when I heard it on radio first those days. Later stanza is a normal duet.

I too liked Visu's early day movies, but I think he fell into loop. His 'monai thodai' titles became ridiculous after a while.. Good that he didn't name 'arattai arangam oru kurattai surangam'.. :D

Ramki, nAn nAnEthAn had Vanithasree also.

Another delight of MSV-SPB-VJ combination. One of the very good moives of 80's. Everyone did justice their part in that film.

The song comes as "imagination/dream" of different key characters. VK, a sincere aNNan-like well-wisher, thinks from aNNan-Thangai point of view. Guess Srividya (not very sure) imagines them as a pair and one more character also dreams differently. So, the lyrics as well as picturisation will be different based on the imagination/dream.

Lovely song. Thanks Ramki.

Ramki
