A nice and rare song. Not sure if the details of the film are correct. The film apparently starred Satyaraj and Roopini in the lead.

Thanks to Priya for sending this song.

:ty: priya & neel for the two unheard compositions.
nice.
love, vinatha.

Neel

Thanks for the "Panikooda vairam pol ". This is surely a SG song (not RD Burman). I have heard this in the early 80s

ALso the singer seems to be Deepan Chakravarthy

Thanks for the song

Bala

baroque, you are welcome.

balaji,
Yes, I thought it was by S-G also, for an SAC film from the early 80s may be. SAC because I thought the male voice sounded like SNS. May be madhu/thyagu/FM knows the correct details.

Pick #665

Song: mAlai vayasu pongguthE
Film: Mayamohini
Music: Chakravarthi
Singers: Vani Jairam, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: Pulavar Sidhambaranathan
Year: 1985

"Mayamohini", dubbed from Telugu, starred Silk Smita in a major role. It is a very entertaining film. A manthiravadhi(Sudharsan) asks his favroite goddess Ukkira Chamundi for three boons (life that will never end, eternal youth and the power to rule all fourteen worlds). Chamundi says that she needs three things from him as offerings before she can grant him his three wishes. She wants, 1) the heart of a mother ripped out of her chest by her own loving son, 2) head of a man whose doting wife must pull a stone chariot around a temple, then carry a pot of turmeric water on her head and walk on fire, then climb up a mountain without spilling the water, reach a temple on the mountain and behead her husband, and 3) a valiant young man's life after he obtains a trident that is being protected by the thiribhuvana bhootham inside a cave.

Sudharshan uses his magical powers and creates a Mayamohini(Silk Smita :redjump: ). He asks the Mayamohini to go around the earth and fetch the three things the goddess demanded. Mayamohini clones herself into two more mayamohinis and the three of them go around the earth in search of the three things. Though the stories of the three mayamohinis happen simultaneously, I will narrate them sequentially and bring them all together at climax.

The first Mayamohini finds a poor young man(Sudhakar) stealing food for his mother and sister. She follows him. The mother does not accept the stolen food. Instead she punishes her son by asking to place his hands on fire at the Durga Devi temple and begs for forgiveness from the goddess. One day when Sudhakar is cutting firewood in the forest Mayamohini sends Anuradha :redjump: :redjump: to seduce him (and you thought three Silks were feast enough for the eye). But Sudhakar is not seduced. He insults Anuradha and asks her to go away. Mayamohini has now made sure of his strict bachelorhood and chooses him as the candidate to fulfil the first demand of the Ukkira Chamundi. Then she lets a snake enter Sudhakar's house and bite his sister. The sister dies. Sudhakar goes to bury her. Mayamohini takes the form of a manthiravadhi, appears at the graveyard and tells Sudhakar that there is a way to bring his sister back to life. If he rips out his mother's heart and brings it to him he will bring his sister and the mother back to life. The manthiravadhi demonstrates his magical power by turning trees into stones. Sudhakar obliges, goes home and kills his mother, rips her heart out and brings it to the manthiravadhi. The manthiravadhi takes the heart, laughs at Sudhakar's foolishness and disappears. Sudhakar becomes deranged. He takes the bodies of his mother and sister to the temple and waits there for them to come back to life. :cry:

There is a medicine man in the town. He is a big womanizer. But his faithful wife(MGR Sangeetha) is very tolerant and quietly allows his infidelity and lets him bring strange women into her house. Then she serves them like a maid by bathing and dressing the woman, making the bed, etc. Yet Sangeetha gets beat up by her husband for not being obedient. But she tolerates everything as a loyal wife. Mayamohini takes the form of Jayamalini(woo hoo! :redjump: :redjump: :redjump: ) and seduces Sangeetha's husband (not a difficult task) and enters Sangeetha's house, bosses around Sangeetha and spends time with the man in the bedroom. Sangeetha tolerates everything. :cry2: The second Mayamohini figures that Sangeetha is the best candidate for the second demand of the Ukkira Chamundi. Mayamohini gives a disease to Sangeetha's husband and he gets blisters all over his body. Then Mayamohini takes the form of an old woman and tells Sangeetha that if she wants her husband to be cured and be faithful to her she needs to go to a temple and do the things that the Ukkira Chamundi wanted. Sangeeta obliges. She pulls the stone chariot around the temple. Carrying a pot of water she walks on burning coal, then climbs a mountain and reaches another temple at the top of the mountain. The goddess(Mayamohini in disguise again) at the temple then asks Sangeetha to behead her husband in order to resurrect him as a cured man. Sangeetha refuses at first but then kills him to save him (that is like fighting for peace...lol). After the man is beheaded Mayamohini takes his head, laughs at Sangeetha's foolishness and disappears. Sangeetha runs to back to the Durga Devi temple in her town, cries to the deity, asks for grace and starts banging her head on a pillar. Same temple where a deranged Sudhakar is waiting for his mother and sister to come to life. Sudhakar looks at Sangeetha and he starts banging his head on another pillar.:omg: They both bleed from the head and faint.

The third Mayamohini in the mean time is looking for a valiant man to go to the cave and bring back the trident from the thiribhuvana bhootham. That is when she finds Narasimharaju. He is a valiant young man who fought and defeated two gladiators at the palace fort. The king rewarded him with a big necklace. But he refused the necklace and instead asked for the princess(Sulakshana) in marriage. The king got angry and extradited him from the kingdom. Mayamohini decides to help him meet Sulakshana and in the process use him to get the trident. Mayamohini takes the form of a manthiravadhi and gives Narasimharaju a pair of sandals to wear. The magical power of the sandals is that when he wears those he will become invisible and can fly. Narasimharaju wears the sandals, becomes invisible, flies to the palace and meets Sulakshana. She falls in love with the handsome warrior who already stole her heart at the prizefight. While secretly meeting the couple sing today's pick... mAlai vayasu pongguthE... thanthana thAnA thanthana thAnA... :musicsmile: Now that Narasimharaju has found his love, the manthiravadhi asks him to help him get the trident before he can help him further. Narasimharaju agrees and goes with him to the cave. Before fighting the bhootham he goes to a pond to take a ritual bath. At the pond he is attacked by a python. He kills the python. As the python dies there appears a gandharva who is released from a curse to remain a python until a man barehandedly kills it. The gandharva tips off Narasimharaju that after he obtains the trident he will be sacrificed to Ukkira Chamundi by the manthiravadhi. Narasimharaju is now prepared for what is coming. He goes into the cave and fights the thiribhuvana bhootham. :skull: After a long fight he manages to pry the hands of the bhootham and take the trident. The thiribhuvana bhootham has another kapali bhootham guarding it. :boo: Narasimharaju fights and kills the kapali bhootham also. :2thumbsup:


The manthiravadhi(Mayamohini) now takes Narasimharaju to the temple of Ukkira Chamundi and hands him to the manthiravadhi Sudharshan. Mayamohini now goes back to her original form(Silk Smita). Sudharshan attacks Narasimharaju to kill him and sacrifice him to Chamundi. The two men fight. Sulakshana is also brought to the temple and is tied to a pillar. At this time, after Sangeetha and Sudhakar faint, Durga Devi opens her eyes and sends a wheel of fire. It travels all the way to Narasimharaju, enters his body and gives him enormous strength. He finally knocks Sudharshan to the ground and kills him. :victory: The wheel of fire then goes in the direction of Mayamohini Smita. She starts running away from it. She keeps running and running and ends up at the Durga Devi temple. The Durga Devi says there is no forgiveness for Mayamohini, issues a band of fire and burns Mayamohini to ashes. Sangeetha and Sudhakar regain consciousness. Their head injuries are healed. As they get up Sudhakar's mother and sister and Sangeetha's husband come back to life and walk towards them. :cool2: Narasimharaju and Sulakshana also arrive at the temple at the same time. Durga Devi blesses all of them and... Vanakkam! :D

Neel: Wonderful narration of the award winning movie MM. Padikkum podhu Dina thanthi Sindubhath thodarkadhai pola appidi oru viruviruppu :lol:

I wish to know who acted as thiribhuvana bhootham & kapali bhootham :evil:

SN23, Mayamohini was the judges' favorite at IMFA '86 and won several awards.

Thiribhuvana bhootham was a robot with one eye and two moving arms. It was about 12 to 15 feet in height. Kapali bhootham was a real person but was in a full body costume that included a face mask. There were thorns all over the costume. If he hugged someone, that person will get one thousand holes in his body and will bleed to death. Very scary I am telling you.

Pick #667

Song: pani thenRal kARRE
Film: Oomai Kanavu Kandaal
Music: Shankar-Ganesh
Singers: Vani Jairam, Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1980

"Oomai Kanavu Kandaal" starred Thirumurugan and Vasanthi. I believe Vasanthi also acted in "Panchakalyani". Don't know what happened to either of the leads. "pani thenRal kARRE vA" is a lovely song. The film has few other nice songs too.

Thanks to sk for sending this song.

Today's pick is a nEyar(Priya) viruppam.

Pick #668

Song: vaNNaththu pUchchi
Film: Kuruvikkoodu
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Singers: P.Susheela, S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1980

"Kuruvikkoodu" starring Sudhakar and Saritha in the lead was a film that was widely advertised. Still remember those ads in the papers. But the film did not fare so well at the box office. However, during those days no matter how badly a film did business, or how bad the film was, there always were several nice songs in the film for all of us to enjoy.

Today's pick substitutes a nEyar(Priya) viruppam.
