App, Shake it baby!. Very different and unheard song at that time. This was the time when I was in 5th/6th grade where I started knowing more about IR through my elder friends and classmates. Very true about getting filler songs at that time, now I remember after reading your post. You remember everything :thumbsup: We usually give him atleast one or two songs extra sometimes or tell him to choose his own songs sometimes where we used to get these kind of songs you mentioned.
Great going App :clap:
Regarding 'Adi Aadu Poonkodiye' eventhough I know it's Rajini song, some how I always associate this song to NT, don't know why. I still visualize NT's acting for this song. May be MV sang like that, but it's a pleasant feeling and that's why I never watched this song.
Yes App. That's what I was also thinking. Sometime back I read a book called "Monsoon Diary: A Memoir with Recipes" by Shoba Narayan. It is part autobiography, part cook book. Her life in Coimbatore (Toddler), Chennai (school days), Kerala (Grand Parents) and US (College) has been captured very beautifully with bunch of recipes (mostly south Indian). You can take that template and replace food with IR's music you have a great book in your hand. (Idea: You can include a CD with book).Quote:

He really brings up that detached attachment you have towards children of people close to you as a bachelor very well.
Even in Anbulla Rajinikanth, the detached affection towards Meena, wherein you can see that there is no obvious blood-related passion and intense affection but more of a polite but endearing love towards a (supposedly) endearing alien child.
Ofcourse, there is that mottai working in the background subtly tweaking his guitar strings to catch you unguarded in that soft spot in your heart and making you imagine all this.
Adi Adu PoongodiyE - a masterpiece in Uncle-Kids relationship caught in Celluloid and Tape, and now, digital media. One of its kind perhaps - I dont count that Nagesh-Manimala ditty
Rajini/kids. Vaa Vaa Vasanthame. Good points, Plum.
And it is quite interesting that most of his songs with kids on screen are with kids of otehr characters. Can you recall any screen song with his own on-screen kids?
Brothers song, Dharma Durai, after beating the crap out of them, a followup of Padikathavan, after beating the crap out of Lakshmi.
Mother = kinggu.
Father...nope. Kids, unless you count Annamalai, but that also after slapping her. Nallavanukku Nallavan, yes, but after the kid breaks their heart.
Someone should do a psychoanalysis on him.
I can only recall the speculative nAn seidha kurumbu(sung by SPB, so relevant to this thread) in 3M. He just talks about the (sadly not) forthcoming kid there not the actual kid.
I vaguely recall Baasha's original in Hindi where he played sidekick to Amit-ji. Deepa Sahi was his wife and if I recall right, there was a kid in the mix
Hindi philim nomination rejetted. Athuvum shrimp paste involvement automatic disqualified.
I have seen Kali, but I cant recall this song / scene, pls describe the scene and the situation from which this song starts. thanks :)Quote:

Contrary to what many websites say, this was not an exclusive IR movie. (thiraippAdal website is also incorrect in this respect). I remember this song being a regular on radio those days, especially IOKS. However, the Shankar-Ganesh number enjoyed more airtime than the IR number (nA onna nenachchEn, SPB-VJ-Jikki). Though many websites don't know the multi-MD thingy, most DF-ers here are aware of this 5 MD movie (IR / S-G / KVM / GKV & TR Pappa). Each did one song and possibly 1/5th portion of BGM. Producer was the 'kAkkA nariyin katha kELu' A L Raghavan. This dhool.com thread has a nice article / discussions on nAn oru ponnOviyam; ofcourse with some hilarious remarks over the dancing capabilities of Sarath Babu & Vadivukkarasi :lol2:
Reproducing my 2005 comment from that link :
The most enjoyable SPB portion from the song is the 'thanthOm thanam thanam, thanthOm thanam thanam enRoru mellisai kEttadhuvE', what a sweet singing! OISG comment on the female singers is quite interesting : in this song SPB certainly makes the queens look like "la la la peNgaL" aka "kuzhuvinar" :lol: Actually PS & SJ do a commendable job adding to the beauty of the song.Quote:
Apart from the semi classical (or kind-of) touch, one thing that was enjoyable in this song was the rhythm arrangement...kind of trade mark Raja...He had so many of such unique patterns generated in his early years (before delegating that department to assistants:-)) and the SOTD had one of those enjoyable ones...I'm sure Raja reused this in other songs later on, but none became as popular as this...
Another song ( again a dance number) which had novel rhythm arrangement was `thAm tha dheem tha Adum uLLam pAdum kAviyam' from pagalil oru iravu...
When arrived, this song strongly reinforced the conviction in us about what variety IR was capable of giving! And he continued to prove himself on that aspect in the 100's of movies & 1000's of songs thereafter!
I really like this song, till I recently I was thinking it was an IR Composition. SG :clap:Quote:

He has acted in the movie 'mellaththiRandhadhu kadhavu' (as a music teacher I think), the movie where MSV-IR worked together.
For years, I think GKV also worked under MSV as assistant - did some playback singing as well. IIRC, during GKV's last days, MSV took care of him, keeping him in his home...
Ah yes, that rings a bellQuote:

Kazhugu. And in the beginning you get this robotic sound. Pretty ahead of its time. If that is the piece you are talking about.
Thanks for the links, KV *zips off to the other page*
Ah yes, I really loved the film, esp the tour bus scenes, Jungle beats, the mystery and last but not least , the heroine Rati Agnihorthri :lol2:Quote:

'kAthOdu poo orasa' is from anbukku nAn adimai and we've discussed a few days back in this thread :-) #39 in our current series of SPB-IR chronicling...Quote:

Thank you KV!
After hearing from a number of hubbers this "first time hearing" remarks on certain IR songs, I no longer get surprised...obviously, his works are like a big sea, covering many decades...

That's an excellent article on Rajini on your blog! :clap:

Now, we're in the movie of the current TN CM where IR & SPB worked.
That movie had this great song (actually, one of the greatest from IR IMHO) - 'thavikkudhu thayanguthu oru manadhu' by PJ/SPS which supposedly had JJ on screen (per dhool Saravanan, IR had used Shailaja for JJ and PS for fadAfat in this Maharishi written movie). I remember reading the kumudam review of this movie which started like -ai, Jayalalitha, kozhuk mozhuk- :lol2:
Going by Saravanan, then, this PS / SPB song possibly had fadAfat (who is no more) on screen. Sounds like a 'mOhini / Avi / kanavu' kind of song with a woman in white dress walking, singing from a distance and a man getting lured. Excellent tune and stylish singing by both (especially PS nailing some flat / sharp notes gracefully).
Though this was a flop movie (which even die-hard JJ fans like OISG couldn't catch in theater), all the songs had decent air time, especially thavikkudhu and engEyO were hot favourites on IOKS. Though a 1980 movie, it's possible IOKS had this song broadcast much earlier, as engEyO evokes 70's evening feeling in me instantly :-)
The whole album is a treasure!
The 80's has started with a bang and there is so much to come..
App you r doing an awesome job..
Though i have heard Thavikkuthu Thayangathu,this is the 1st time am listening to Engeyo and must say its a lovely song..Very beautifully sung by PS and SPB ..
நன்றி, skr !
அடிக்கடி சுரேஷ்ஜி இதே மாதிரி சொல்லுவார் - நான் இதற்கு முன் கேட்டதில்லை என்று.
ராசாவின் ஆரம்ப காலப்பாடல்களை இன்னும் பலரும் கேட்டதில்லை என்று தெரிகிறது.
எது எப்படி இருந்தாலும் இந்த இழையில் எல்லா ராஜா - எஸ்.பி.பி. ஹிட்டுகளையும் கடை விரித்தே ஆக வேண்டும் என்று கங்கணம் கட்டியாகி விட்டது :-)
நாளை முதல் ஒரு நாலு நாளைக்கு வரும் பாட்டுகளை இதற்கு முன் கேட்டதில்லை என்று யாரும் சொல்ல மாட்டார்கள் என நம்புகிறேன். ராசா / எஸ்பிபி விரும்பிகள் மத்தியில் அன்றும் இன்றும் அவ்வளவு பிரபலமான பாடல்கள் அவை.
ரெண்டு மிக வெற்றியடைந்த ஒரு படத்தின் டூயட்கள்.
மற்ற இரண்டு படு தோல்வி அடைந்த ஒரு படத்தின் சோலோக்கள்.
(யூகிப்பது மிக சுலபம் :wink:)
Engeyo Edho is my favorite from the album. It invokes an inexplicable/surreal feel. With the first few listens, I was never able to figure out the emotion and then concluded it's romance with a shade of longing/sadness.
