Karthik,

tacinema....
madhana maaligayil.... yes .... is a lovely song....which will come as a big relief in that movie.... as ...otherwise....the entire movie will be full of challenges for a nadaga kalaignar.......rajapart........
MSV explained once about this song......
The tune was liked by an office boy who supplied tea to MSV and while MSV was composing the tune.... the boy came in and he pointed out to MSV that this tune is nice....
and MSV further finetuned it....with improvisation....like...when TMS sings madhana maaligai.... PS will continue with...Madhana maaligayil....
Then TMS....mandhira maalaigalaa... followed by PS.... mandhira maalaigalaa....
and it goes on.......
I think its a dream song for Shivaji with Usha Nandini...
Dear Karthik, superb writing about the song "Ammammaa thamni endru nambi". It is one of the very hit song and evergreen even now to hear and to watch.
After the song finished, Shivaji will return home, without showing his sadness to his sister Jaya (an actress with childish face and innocent smile). She will ask :"Annaa, chinna annan varalaiyaa?"
Shivaji will reply with happy mood (but sad in heart): "Adhai yemmaa ketkire... ennai paarththadhum odi vandhu ennai kattikittu 'annaa eppadi irukeenga, thangachi eppadi irukkaa, anni eppadi irukkaanga' appadeennu paasaththai kottinaan. Andha neram paarththu avanudaiya maamanaar vandhu business vishayamaa velinaadu poganumnu sollittaar. Unmaiyil thambikku velinaadu poga ishtam illai. Ungalaiyellaam paarkanumnuthaan aasai. Naanthaan paraviylle, poyittu vaapaa. Thangachiyaiyum anniyaiyum appuram paarthukkalaamnu solli anuppitten" (then casualaaga Jayavidam) "ammaadi konjam coffee kondu vaa"
After jaya left from there, Usha Nandhini will aks Shivaji: "Yenga, unga thmabi ungalai romba avamaana paduthittaaraa?. Unga kannileye theriyuthey".
Suddenly Shivaji's face will turn with sad expression: "Avamaana paduthiyindhaa kooda naan thaangikittu iruppen Alamelu. Aanaa avan ennai yaarunne theriyaatha maadhiri nadichittaan Alamelu" closing his mouth with the towel and cry.
(Andha manidharudaiya padangalai paarkumbothu thaan endru illai, avarai patri ezhuthumbothu kooda kanneer varugirathu. Ayyo, andha 2001 July 21, vandhirukkavey vendaam).
Saradhaa,
Great. Beautiful narration. You have an awesome collection of Sivaji movies, dialogue by dialogue. Sivaji looks very handsome in Madana maaligail song. Another song I like is "ponmagal vanthal" from Sorgam.. he looks great in that song.
When it comes to perfection…..or someone to be certified as a PERFECTIONIST…it should be none other than Nadigar Thilagam only…..( the other one who comes closer could be Ulaga naayagan Kamal )
Countless number of roles that Shivaji had played ….were all with perfection…but somehow I am fascinated since my school days…by seeing the role of a Doctor in Paalum Pazamum…. There are several traits that a Doctor normally possess….absolute professionalism, warmth, kind heartedness….gentle…..mild approach…..
Shivaji exhibited all the traits of a Doctor in this movie….
Like …going for morning rounds along with nurse and fellow staff….having a courtesy chat with the patients….casually browsing the chart of every patient and giving instructions to the Doctors who follow him….
Or for that matter….showing utmost respect for the Senior Doctor ( Nagaiyah the veteran ) while talking to him…..
Or for that matter while coming across Sarojadevi for the first time… showing a gentle surprise reaction and appreciation for her timely support and quick understanding of an issue….
Or for that matter …even in the beginning of the movie…when SV Subbaiah and Balaiyah ( who will bring him up in life….the movie will briefly touch Shivaji as somewhat an orphan but was nurtured by Subbaih’s family ) and for all the praises heaped on him..Shivaji will respond well by saying that its all due to the care they had taken to guide him…that he has reached this level in life… etc etc..
Or for that matter the love and affection that he pours on his brother Prem Nazir ( absolutely handsome personality …someone who can really compete with Kamal …after Ajit could be Prem Nazir…endrum ilamai…. )
Even while talking to a typical M.R.Radha character in this movie….Shivaji will display the same mild mannered approach…..except during the final scenes….when he has to burst out with frustration…and while singing Ponaal pogattum podaa….. ( why not…when someone loses his wife….all emotions will have to come out and noone is an exception to this )
I am quite fascinated by the gentleness shown by Nadigar thilagam…for the song…NAAN PESA NINAIPADHELLAM NEE PESA VENDUM……
Time and again….it was the MOST FORMIDABLE COMBINATION OF …….SHIVAJI , SAROJADEVI, KAVIGNAR, TMS, SUSHEELA, MELLISAI MANNARGAL…MSV WITH TKR, AND THE ONE AND ONLY BHEEMSINGH….
The song will come soon after they get married ….. Starts with a beautiful tabla ….followed by the famous duo’s customary Violin support, flute….. and then…PS Amma starts with Naan pesa ninapadhelaam nee pesa vendum…..Shivaji will look absolutely majestic with a cap…. And half shirt ( will also look a bit bulky ?? ) while Saro will be in a lovely saree …
….. another beauty of this song is that TMS just sang the words…. NAAN KAANUM ULAGANGAL NEE KAANA VENDUM…. NEE KAANUN POZUDHAAVUM NAAN AAGA VENDUM…NAAN AAGA VENDUM….. after this , for every end of a sentence..TMS will support by saying Oom Oom…and it will be a lovely support…flow for the song to maintain the continuity…. It will be like Shivaji saying yes yes to all Saro sings…..
Lets go through the words in depth …so that we will realize the beauty of this eternal melody….and evergreen hit…
Paalodum pazam yaavum unakaaga vendum…unakaaga vendum….
Paavai un mugam paarthu pasiyaara vendum …pasiyaara vendum ( here PS Amma will show her experience and class when she stretches the words )
Manadhaalum ninaivaalum thaayaaga vendum….naan aaga vendum…
Madi meedhu vilayaadum seyaaga vendum…neeyaaga vendum….
Sollendrum moziyendrum porulendrum….illai…porul endrum illai….
Solaadha sollukku vilai yedhum illai villai yedhum illai….
Ondrodu onraaga uyir serndha pinnay uyri serndha pinnay…..
Ulagangal namaiyandri veraydhum illai… veryadhum… illai…..
For every shot by shot while Sarojadevi will be singing with full of grace…Shivaji will exhibit his DOCTOR’s class… by reacting with all gentleness…
At one shot , he will casually throw the saree on the face of Saro and will cover her…..and even that will look terrific….to show that fondness and affection that they share…the mutual love and the respect for each other…admiring each other….
Idhai vida menmayaaga oru kanavan manaivikkul irukkum oru sondham, bandham oru kaadhalai veru yaarum azagaaga kaata mudiyaadhu…..
Idhu ennudaya thaazmayaana karuthu…..
Nadigar thilagam…thanudaya kangalaalay….. thannudadya anbai pozivaar…..will give 100 expressions….just by giving a warm and gentle and kind hearted look…..
Even today, if one sees this movie after 10 times ( I wonder how many times…Shivaji fans would have seen this movie….it could be 50 or 75 or 100 times )….one will not feel bored …as it will be full of lovely lovely songs, nice screen play…wonderful set of actors….lovely direction……
Bheemsingh..should be appreciated for having shown Nadigar thilagam… in various characters and was the karta of the famous Paa series….. Paalum pazamum, Padikaatha medhai, Paarthaal pasi theerum, Paasa malar, Paar magalay paar, Padithaal mattum podhumaa …etc etc……
Coming back to the movie…. Its not that this is the only song which is a beauty….. every song is all class and one can write a posting for each other song..as they are all precious gems……
What an amazing actor…Nadigar thilagam is……..He virtually lived like that character…..
KAALATHAAL AZIYAADHA ORU PAADAL…ORU PADAM
No No Balaji anNe, i strongly disagree with you, Dr.Shivaji sir, lived like character in ALL of his films.Quote:

No doubt about that....
S.Balaji,
ur post is equally capturing.
Romba anubavithu ezhuthirukkeenga. :smile:
Excellent narration. a perfect combination of a.bhimsingh and sivaji. All "paa" series movies are evergreen and mile stones of tamil cinema. Though all these movies are family sentiment related, these movies would leave a lasting impact within you.
PAA movies brought out Sivaji's versatiity:
paalum pazamum - as a Dr, express love relationship between wife and husband.
paava manippu - excellent movie, with evergreen songs, expresses unity among different religions.
paasa malar - great acting from Nadigar and Nadigayar thilakams, bench mark movie for brother-sister relationship
bhaga pirivinai - as a handicap person, a minute reflection of acting. I believe, Hindi actor Dilip Kumar has agreed that he cannot act like our sivaji
Padithaal mattum podhumaa - a fantastic movie, as an illiterate person, marrying a literate woman and going thru nightmares
padikkatha medhai - a wonderful movie, though a bit over-acting!?literally acting competition between two giants: sivaji and ranga rao.
and so on.......
In fact, Sivaji once said that A.Bhim Singh is one of the directors who brought out his talents on screen. No matter how many times you watch these movies, they never bore you. Sivaji gel with these characters perfectly and literally lives with it.
Long live Sivaji's legendary name!! Though he is no more, his different characters onscreen will live forever.
Some more "Pa" series movies by Shivaji & Bhimsingh combination:Quote:

Another movie "Pattadhaari" was started, but dropped in half way because of some undisclosed reasons between pruducer and director.
Two movies by Shivaji & Bhimsingh combo, without "Pa" are 'Raja Rani' and 'Shanti'.
For everything, there should be a 'dhirushti-pottu'. Yes, in Sivaji & Bhimsingh combination also there is one. That is "Paadhugaappu" (1970).
