Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Like Sangathil paadadha Kavidhai(as a tune), Kodeeswaran magal as a story has many incarnations. The telugu original, presumably was the first. I learn now that Kalaignar's Raja-Rani is the original original. Besides, the movie made it to Malayalam(one of the priyadarshan assembly line products in late 80's-early 90's). Then,as is his habit, it made it to Hindi as Hungama recently *ing Akshay Khanna, Rimi Sen etc. Then it was re-made into Telugu(incredibly from the Hindi version) *Ing Prabhu Deva, Aarthu Chaabria etc.

SN23 'kanni thendral'(already featured in POW) is from VK *er Raman sriraman.
I think sivakumar-Rathi film is Raman Parasuraman.

Rajdes thank you for the info on KM's multiple births

Ramki

I stand corrected, the movie is Raman Parasuraman. I think the MD was Sathyam.

One more movie of Chakravarthy is "Emanukku Eman" (Sivaji Double role). Had some nice songs, as I used to like his style of music.

Bala

priyadharshan recently remade this same story line in hindi as hungama

Dear Ramki,
THanks for the song !!!! Eppodho ketta song !!!
Indha paatin speed ---- really nice !!! SPB and PS voice and style especillay PS in humming ---- indha paatil enaku migavum pidikum.

Chakravarthy music il oru padam --- Padam perum Chakravarthy -- i think --- Jaysankar and Oorvasi Saradha nadithadhu ---

one song edho konjam ninaivil --- vaa valliyammai kanava !! like this

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

tvsankar, Shankar-Ganesh scored music for the film Chakravarthy. Jaishankar, Saradha, Sripriya, Srikanth, Y.Vijaya, Manorama etc acted. Vaa VaLLiammai kaNavA is by PS (for Saradha) and Manorama for herself. It starts with Aarathi edungadi thozhiyarE Aanandham pAdungadiiiii by Manorama.

Ramki, thanks for your pointer-correction on Raman (Sriraman / Parasuraman). Yes, Sathyam is MD for RamanParasuraman and SivajiRaja for RamanSriraman. I remember a duet by SPB+PS in RP starting with "KalyaNa mAlai kondAdum".

Ramki, edho enakku therinjadhu eduthu vuttaen. BTW, the Malayalam Priyadarshan version was called "Poochakkoru Mookkuthi:, I think

Pick #329

Song: anandham adhu ennada
Movie: iru nilavugaL
Singers: SPBalasubramaniam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Rajen Nagendra

'Sommokadidhi Sokokadidhi ' was the first film that brought 4 great talents, Kamal-singeetham srinivasarao-Balumahendra and thottatharani, together . Thought it had the formulaic double action story, the film was very enjoyable. I remember watching the tamil version 'iru nilavugaL' in vijaya theatre(The one in west kkNagar...is it vijaya?). I remember few scenes here and there and for my age that time, the film was funny.
Kamal played the dual role of a doctor and rowdy. The shy/soft doctor and the thug rowdy(brothers born to pandaribhai seperated at birth) switch places and fall in love with the girls(Roja Ramani-Jayasudha) .
The songs by RN duo was very enjoyable too.
The two playful SPB-SJ duets 'thoda varavo'(I love the kannada version 'nagu nagutha) and 'ammadi jaadhi muLLu' and
the sweet innocent SPB-PS duet 'anbuLLa kaNNano' (Does anyone have this song? Looking for this for a long time)
and todays intro song for Rowdy kamal made this a decent album.

Though i have enjoyed RN songs quite often, the one album that made me look up their other songs is kannada film 'anandha bhairavi'
Not only the film was excellent, each and every song was a gem.
The film had Girish karnad, Kanchana , sri and couple of newcomers.
if you like KViswanatha kind of films, then you should watch this.
You can listen to AB's songs here
