Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Hi Premananth

yes .. swarna is wife of MD V.Kumar.

Thanks madhu.....!

balaji -

Thanks for the correction. I was about to add an interrogation in paranthesis after PS(?), but thought better of it! These days 3 out of 4 is the best I can do - and I settle for it, happily! :)
One of my favourites by PS for RN in Telugu is Aakulo Aakunai. But that will never be heard here! :cry:

Ramki -

Your best works for me! :)

About KVM, there is this VJ/SPB duet from "dubbing" padam, and perhaps one of the few "dubbing" padam songs that I hum every so often: Inniraasulu Iniki (Raasiyo Nalla Raasi) - Raashi in Telugu and Raasi in Tamizh - beautifully composed by KVM and sung with great sincerity by the leads. Ramki? :)

Premananth..i will soon.

Naaz, Raasi is the name of the film?Or it is the song title?

Pick #310

Song: thumthanathanathum
Film: Maya Bazaar 1995
Singer : Jolly Abraham
lyrics: vaali ?
Music: iLaiyaraja

Strange are the ways of our MDs. They neglect some singers when they are in their prime. What makes them remember these singers after decades will be a unsolved mystery. JA was one such singer.
He vanished from TFM for nearly 10-15 years and then IR gave him not one but 2 songs. The first one is todays pick and the second is 'oru chinna mani kuyilu' from kattapanchayathu.
Both were good melodies but both did not become big hits. JA vanished again . Will he resurface again? Chances are slim but who knows.

Maya bazaar 1995 was a stupid film. The film , inspired from Patrick Swayze's 'Ghost' with the roles reversed, had oorvasi and Ramki. I remember only one more song
'muthu muthu poongodi'(Chitra, Mano)

Ramki

Nalla padal. Chithra's short version was good too.

Oru Oorile Oru rajaKumaran (by old SJ) was also there I think..

Naaz

Neenga "isaikku oru Koil" padalai patri pesavillaiye? Adhu prablamana pattu ache. Hopefully there is an other song

Bala

Ramki,

I thought 'enakOr needhi' was last film by VK. I'm not sure, I was told that MD was Kumar at that time. The only song that I remember is 'kaNNeeraalE vithiyin kaikaL ezhuthum kOlam' by KJY. Ofcourse I might be wrong too :)

Unggal Muyarchikku Nandri Ramki Sir....!

Oru Chinna Manikkuyilu from Kattapanchayathu is by JA?! Naan Arunmolzhi Endrallava Nenachen? Anyhow thanks for the information.

Avar kural konjam maarithaan pochu!

I too was under the impression that oru chinna manikuyilu is by Arunmozhi & Bava!

Considering the quality of so many other mid-90s Ilayaraja tunes, I didn't think that "Thumthanathanathum" would be anything worth listening to. How wrong I was! What a melodious piece of Mohanam (albeit not pure Mohanam).
