Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Madhu.... I'm Prem Ananth.

Anyhow thanks for the info.

Kaalanggalil Aval Vasantham also has "MaNamagale Un MaNavarai Kolam" - artputhamaana paadal Varigal...!

Hi Prem Ananth..

I think ..female voice in all the songs of Kalangalil avaL vasantham is VJ only..

"manamagale", "anbenum sudaral", "padum vande parthadhunda","mudhal mudhal varum sugam"... all !

Ramki -

Alaiyil Aarambiththu, Sorgaththil Mudinthuvittadhae Endru Irukku! :D

Thanks for hosting a class compilation all through the week!
-------------

Prem Ananth -

That's a good list of songs. Enni Irunthadhu is a VJ - Malaysia Vasudevan duet.
--------------

Regarding the "weird" coupling in Kora Kaagaz / Lalitha : The relationship is student / lecturer. VA / GG were chosen specifically for their age. What really sank Lalitha was the additional professor vaadai provided by "Calcutta" Prof. Viswanathan as Sujatha's father. Presidency College Staff Common Room-la Moonu Avar Ukkaandhuthuttu Vandha Maadhiri Aayidichchu!

Thanks for the Info Madhu!

Thanks for the correction Naaz!

Ramki,
If you don't mind, could you pls host "Poothathu Kamalam Purinthathu KaaraNam" from Nyanak Kulzhanthai?

Pick #297

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/kangalaal_mn.rm

Song: kaNgaLaal naan varaindhen
Film: Mangala Nayagi
Singers: PSuseela, KJYesudoss
lyrics: kaNNadasan?
Music: VKumar


Another hindi remake another emotional senDimenDal story.
The original 'sajan bina suhagan' had Nutan, Rajendrakumar, Vinod Mehra, Padmini kholapure(baby) etc.
Story: Nutan and her husband(I think dr shreeram lagoo) has 3 daughters, the youngest(Padmini K) with heart problems. The father has cancer but afraid that the news might affect the daughter, he goes away to a remote place and dies there. The family hides his death from the kid . Rajendra kumar, ex classmate and oruthala kaadhalan of Nutan, gets close to the family. How the kid learns about ther fathers death and Nutan marries rajendrakumar forms the rest.

Usha khanna was the MD for original and she came up with few good songs. The stand out was KJYesudoss/Anuradha Paudwal's 'Madhuban khushboo deta hai'.

In tamil , KRVijaya did Nutans role and i believe sarathbabu did RK's role. Actress Shobana did PK's role. I think this was her second film as a child artiste(First was banumathy directed dasavatharam). I have not watched the tamil version so cant say if it was better or worse than the original.

Todays pick is again the standout song of the album. If you wish to sample the remaining songs , click here

HI Rami..

nice song.. angum ingum.. konjam konjam..
idhe MD-in "unnidam mayangugiREn" vadai adikkara pola thONudhu..

BTW, is there another version of the song sung by SP Shailaja ?

Hi Ramki,

very nice song....
The song have tipical touch of VK. Eventhough I Listened it first time.
I think, Mangala Nayaki was last movie under Krishnan- Panju's directions.

Anyone could help me to clear this doubts?

1. Are there any songs sung by TMS under A.M.Raja's Music? (I only can remember VaNNa mAn oru pakkam from Enakkoru Magan Pirappaan.")

2. Does TMS composed music for any movie?

Ramki -

Mangala Nayaki is remembered (if at all) for just this song! One of the last good tunes from VK, and PS/KJY fill it with dignity and tenderness. These singers make the words come alive. They convey the "feeling" of the song without showing us (no gimmicks and unncessary stresses/aural highlights) at every turn that they are "moved"by the words they sing! What subtle artistry is all about!

Keep these classics coming! :D

Ramki: many of VJ+SPB songs under MSV are good. Better are VB's.

KanagaLaal naan varainden is a wonderful composition. KRV's lover Sharath babu sings along with KRV. Then KRV sings alone (PS). Then Shobana sings (SPS). 3 versions used very effectively.
An undigestable thing was Srikant acted as KRV's husband. Jodi poruththam sariye illai. I think they acted together in Karunali ullam also, but not as jodi.

Keep up Ramki :-)
