Hello Balaji...
Valee first acted in KS's movie :"Poikkaal Kuthirai".
For his sence of humour I want to reproduce one matter, which already mentioned by Manisekaran in another thread:
When MGR started his "Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban" movie, he told Valee (as a Joke): In this movie I will not give chance for you to write even single song. I will use only Kannadasan, Pulamaipitthan, Na.Kamarasan etc. But your name will not be there.
Valee replied: When the movie release, definitely my name will be there. Sure.
MGR asked: How?. If I did not give chance how your name will be there in the titel.
Valee replied: Your movie's name is "Ulagam Sutrum 'VAALI'ban". So already my name is there in the title.
(MGR was laughiing for a long time).
You are right. Valee's first movie was PKG only.Quote:

Probably KB only spotted his talent and used / using him .
I could see Valee in KB's serial - Anni also
Valee has written some nice ones in Anandha vikatan - About ramayanam and also Mahabaratham.
I liked those simple version of Valee.
One's message should each the other person easily . Thats the success of his wording and Valee is well known for that.
Hats off to Valee
Vairamuthu's words at times are a bit too poetical and imaginative.
Like - Indiran thottathu mundiriyae , manmadha naatukku mandhiriyae
I wanted to clarify the question asked. Is it after Kanadasan- next to Kanadasan, replacing him or after Kannadasan- second in place after him?
I think Kannadasan's position will always be #1.

Kannadasan is peerless and cant be equated with anybody.
It is after him , who can occupy the second position
I love the song - Punnagai mannan ,puvizi kannan rukmani kaaga- Eru kodugal .
I think its by Valee only. Lovely situation song. KB is known for inserting situation songs only earlier in his career. In the latter part of his career, he diluted his approach.
Lovely song this is. Jayanthi and Sowcar conveying their intentions on a good occasion - Navarathri. Each will try to outpace other and infact will try to remove some dolls and the another will insert another doll etc etc. At one stage, the song will stop and then Sowcar will plead to Jayanthi, pls sing
Excellent situation song - Is it Valee ???
The entire song had meaning and will compare Rama and krishna virtually .
i like viramuthu,lyrics of shanthosham santhosham from youth, sattham illatha thanimai illai from amarkkalam. excellent lyrics, non?
but vairamuthu is not best in youthful songs, listen soudamani from arul.
vaali is old man but he can penned lyric for youth like boys or for adult like desam songs
so he is best after kannadasan
Hey what are you saying about VM,Quote:

VM is well known for youth in his songs.
Valee more youthful than VM
to me valee's Hei Hei ennachu unakku(kadhal virus) was his best youthful creation....this song tells u exactly wat a gurl looks for in a man...........i was stunned by this 75 yr-old's knowledge abt today's girl's mind..........u know, even poets accept that it is a tough thing to predict a woman's mind but this guy just does it with so much ease....valee is the gr8est....
In Ramayana, Vaalee is a valiant person, great warrior, by himself. In addition to that, he possessed a unique strength - a strength of attracting half of his opponent's strength towards him, his advantage, and make himself invicible in a war situation. So whoever be his opponent he would never be able to win vaalee so easily. That is why, Raama had to kill him deceptively from hide (a blot in raama's character despite that act was very much needed).
Now we can understand how lyricist rangarajan of srirangam is named as valee. Be whatever his opponent, not necessarily a rival poet, even the situations that warrants lyrics for blogger buds era whereas he is from the era of OCS, Vaalee attracts the opposition's power towards his advantage and comes out successful. Indeed it is a fitting name to this writer -- a deft jack of all kind of lyrical situation. Indeed a versatile writer. Using azhagan, azhagappan (mamootty's) speech in banupriya's dance concert, Vaalee is uppuma (not in any 'mean' sense, but in a strict vegetarian sense).
So, IMHO, Vaalee will always be there everwhere, so he should be discounted from the race (after KKD who is it?).
So, after KKD it is indeed VM.
However, despite his strength and his own knowledge, I don't consider VM to be in the league of KKD. KKD is KKD, a league on his own.
Dear All,
I am tempted to share this old news item of Kannadasan :
Kannadasan was with Congress for sometime but for some minor rift with Kamarajar , he moved out but wanted to come back. He probably chose in one of his songs :
Andha Sivagaamee maganidam sedhi solladee ennai serum naal paarka solladi. ( Jai shankar and KRV in Pattanathil Bootham )
Amazing presence of mind and timing as you all know Kamarajar's mother's name is - Sivagami !!
A big salute to Kavignar

Vali felicitation...
கண்ணதாசனுக்கு பிறகு யாரையும் கூற முடியவில்லை, என்னை மன்னிக்கவும்.
After Kannadasan, it is definitely Vaali. Vairamuthu doesn't even come close (Even though some people conferred the title "Kaviperarasu" on him in an attempt to portray him as greater than Kaviarasu Kannadasan). The most charitable thing one can think about VM is that he is good in patches. He doesn't have the class to compare with KK, nor does he have the grace to acknowledge others. He has a king sized ego and puts down others. (Incidentally, while KK is a poet, VM can at best be described as a lyricist, not a poet. I had a hard time trying to read one of his collections of 'poems', it was more like a dialogue than a poem) and took on Ilayaraaja, Muthulingam and the new crop of young lyricists.
But I do like some of his lyrics. As I said, he is good in patches. For that matter, Pa Vijay's Ovvoru Pookkalume and Na Muthukumar's "Chinna Kanniley enna ketkirai..." from Dhoni are nice too and compare with VM's best.
Verdict: After Kannadasan, it is Vaali and then there is a yawning gap. VM is no match for these two.
For depth of knowledge and sheer outlook, KK is a class unto himself. Vaali comes closer than anyone else. But Vairamuthu? Lets not joke. VM is an ego maniac and although sometimes he does come-up with good lyrics, he is nevertheless kills his fame through his mouth. Have met the guy and disliked him instantly.
