Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Ramki -

Guess it must be Isaikku Oru Kovil. I think in Telugu it was Sruthilayalu?

balaji -

Before you correct my own lyrics :) let me say that I got the first line wrong (tamizh version) Endrumae Nalla Raasi. Was this a prabalamaana paadal? When I think popular (or populist?) I think of songs like Ponnmeni Urugudhae, Nila Kaayudhu, Oram Po Oram Popular sort of songs...I somehow think IRs (dubbing) Keeravaani Iravilae, Kanavilae Paadavaa Nee had more air-time than the duet from IOK.

Request...
If you find this lovely (rare? lost?) duet by SJ/PJC (?) for Chandrabose, please feature it some day: Odaiyil Naan Nalla Odai, Olinjirukkum Poonjchola from Rajaaththii Rojaakkili. Among the best by CB...

I too thought 'Oru Chinna Mani kuyilu' from 'Kattapanjayathu' was by Arunmozhi. Jolly Abraham's voice sounds pretty soft to that one :roll:

Hearing this name, I am reminded of a singer who sang 'Surangani'. Who was he ?

Never knew such a song existed in Maya Bazaar 1995 :shock: thanks for the song Ramki.

I have seen this movie as well! :) It had Urvasi & Ramki in double roles.
Urvasi acted as daughter of Visu who is a rich man.Urvasi though grown up would have the mental status of a child .( as usual)Visu tries hard to get her married and finally gets her married to Ramki who is his manager and good hearted.Visu dies soon after.After the marriage its known that Ramki is actually a bad man & he kills Urvasi.NowUrvasi the ghost meets another Urvasi who is a dubakur billi suniyam lady.With this Urvasi's help pazhi vangum padalam is achieved.In the climax it is known that the first Ramki( good one) is actually locked up in a paathala room by the second one and it is this 2nd one who had actually killed Urvasi.For the 2nd Ramki Swarna was the jodi. I remember there was a song for this jodi in a swimming pool.
I had today's pick song in my collection along with the chinna manikuyilu song.The negative aspect in the latter song was Bhavatharini's voice.

Naaz

Good one. Naan Prabalamnu solradhu, radiovil konjam frequenta vandha padalgalai. This song was played frequently when the K.Vishwanath/KVM dubbbing movie was released. Athai than sonnen. Thinking again, may be prabalam may not be the apt word for this song. Ramki, adhu arumaiyana padal. Mudinthal KVM-in 80/90 padalgalai mudinthal podungal. "kadahal kiligal" oru arumaiyana Album.

Ungalai correct panna medam endru thaan ninaithen anal mudiyavillai. 'Odaiyil ..' is by KJY/SJ. Sorry for correcting.

Bala

oru chinna manikuyilu is by JA

Arunmozhi had Venduna vendum varam from the same movie (with minmini)

ramki: good song by JA. You are right. Can't get why he was not used by MDs.

Bala i have not listened to chitras version.

FM neenga sonna correctaa thaan irukkum :)

Naaz 'sri gananaadha' song from isaikkoru kovil was already featured in POW.

Narayanan, i too think 'surangani' is by JA.

jMahesh, swimming pool songthaan 'muthu muthu poongodi' :)

Thanks jn

Pick #311

Song: malargaLin raaja
Film: vaLLi deivanai
Singers : Mallika, Dhanasekar
lyrics: ?
Music: Thyagarajan

This week i chose to focus on singers who never made big in TFM.
Todays pick has a catchy tune, fresh voices,decent interludes and was aired frequently. As far as i know, and to my total puzzlement, this is the only song by these two singers. Mallikas voice sounds close to BSSasirekha's but slightly better.
Dhanasekar has a soft voice and with proper training and encouragement could have made it big.
I wonder what these one time wonders are doing now?Alive? singing chorus?

Who are the actors in 'vaLLi deivanai'? Are there other good songs in VaLLidev?

Ramki: Thanks for today's pick. I'm hearing this one after a very long time. Dhanasekar's voice in some places resembles A.M. Raja. Excellent Pick! My son liked this song and wanted me to play it over and over! :)

Nalla Song Ramki

This song Radio vil adikadi varum oru galathil
