Pick #387

Song: sendhoor murugan kovilile
Movie: Shanthi
Singers : PSuseela , PBSrinivas
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Viswanathan-Ramamurthy
Year : 1965.

This is a rare song, Rare in compostion , execution and delivery.
Each time i listen to it, i admire the writings of kannadasan. I have not seen shanthi but i know the premise of the song. The heroine is blind. Her blindness delays her marriage. Finally she gets married to someone who is not told about her condition
He leaves her without consummating his marriage.
They then exchange letters. She seeks her friend's assistance to write letters for her.
(Please correct me If i got the situation wrong)

Very subtly, Kannadasan expresses the anguish of the heroine.

'oorvalam ponavan oariru vaaram
pogamal nindranadi
vaaramal vandhavan paavai udalai
seraamal sendraanadi'

letter reaches him and he sings her lines and not his own . This makes the song more real and unique.

This Bhimsingh film had sivaji,SSR, vijayakumari and Devika. VR combo came out with outstanding songs for this film
'yaar andha nilavu 'and 'nenjathile nee netru vandhai' were trendsetters.
'oorengum maapiLLai oorvalam' and 'vaazhndhu paarkavendrum ' are other good numbers.
There is also a PS solo version of todays pick.

Shanthi was remade in hindi as 'gowri 'with Nutan, sunildutt, sanjeev kumar and mumtaz

its in one of my kizhichu bind senja thodarkadhai of kumudham..
its for this film only..

Ramki,

Good songs, no doubt. I saw the movie long time ago and liked it. Sivaji will act as the husband, but SSR will return only to find his pal Sivaji there. Appadi pogum kathai (I think).

Pick #388

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/naaL_pp.rm



Song: naaL nalla naaL
Movie: paNakkaara peN
Singers : TMSoundararajan, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: Vkumar
Year : 1976.


One of the songs that always reminds me the ungaL viruppam days of 70s and 80s. This was a popular number in radio and i remember it playing just after the opening music of ungaL viruppam music in the 8.15-9.30 slot.

TMS and VJ has sung very few songs together. When VJ made her entry in TFM, TMS was slowly fading away from the scene. Neverthless they have given some good numbers together.

What are your favorite TMS-VJ duets? Post it here.If i have them i will host them. Lets make this a TMS-VJ week.

TMS-VJ... mm.. nostalgic..

1) Ah sugam sugam idhu.. - pAdha poojai
2) ethanai malargaL enthanai niRngaL .. oru nadigai nAdagam pArkiRAL
3) ilangaiyin iLam kuyil - Pilot Premnath
4) ponmana chemmaalai - sirithu vazha vendum

Ramki -

Naal Nalla Naal....classic VJ-TMS duet! I remember seeing this film at Lakshmi Talkies, Amainthakarai!

My requests would be:
1.Ammaanai Azhagumigu Kannmaanai
2.Muththamizh Sandhangal
3.Raajadhi Raajanukku Raani Maele Kaadhaladi
4.Pudavaikattikkondu Poovondru Aaduthu
5.Aandavanillaa Ulagamedhu

I could go on!

Any or all of the above should also be fine examples of the 70s/80s.
While VJ-TMS are a treat, I think we will definitely have the grandeur of some fine MSV/KVM tunes! :D
