Ramki, I might be wrong. it was such a long time I have watched this movie, I don't remember anything other thaan kaadhal kaayangaLE song :)

Jn,
ithu thaan Ramkiyin kalyaaNa theme song pOla. paavam avaru :))

dubbing movinaa, RC ku kattayam therinjirukkum :)

FM: ippadi sonaa yaarum namba maataanga!...dubbing pada paadalgaL thilagamE neenga thaan-ndrathu TFM arinja uNmai aachE? :)

Ramki

The only dubbed film I think of is 'My Dear Kuttichaathan'
The song as we all know is 'Poo Vaadai Katre'. But I doubt that is a rare song.

However there was 'My Dear Kuttichaathan 2' in Malaylam that had a KJY solo. Was this film dubbed in Tamil? If so that is song you may be referring to?

Anyways, very eager to know the song

Pick #347

Song: solai poonthendralil
Movie: poove pon poove
Singer : KJYesudoss
Lyrics: vaali ?
MD: iLaiyaraja


'eNNai kuLiyal' was a weekly ritual during my childhood. After a hearty breakfast of neeraagaram(water from
pazhaiyasaadham mixed with buttermilk and salt),i will sit patiently on a palagai as my mom applied the warm oil
on my then 'full head'. Her fingers would knead and soothe every hair follicle, applying the oil evenly throughout.
If its december, then there will be water boiling in a big metal pot(thavalai). I will pour the hot water into a bucket
and mix it with freshly drawn water from the well. Applying seeyakka podi was the least favorite part of this
ritual. I preferred the smooth, cool, chemical laded shampoo to the powdery healthy podi. That explains why
the full head is just now half :). eNNai snaanam was followed by tasty lunch and peaceful nap(and the headache after).
Only thing that was missing was a nice song to go with this ritual

Whenever i listen to the Malayalam version of todays pick, i'm reminded of this long forgotten ritual. (The tamil version doesnt refer to the eNNai kuLiyal)
A father relishing the joys of giving oil bath to his son. He sings about saraswathi and guru kadaaksham and how brilliant the kid is going to grow up.

This lovely song is from tamil dubbing of Fazil directed Mammootty, shobana,suresh gopi *er 'Pappayude Swantham Appoos'. The film had some lovely tunes by IR.
'poove pon poove'(SJ), 'pani peyyum naaLil'(Minmini), snehathin sondhathil(KJY) are good numbers from PPP.
But like the pudhir song, the original version of these songs are better.
They lyric writer's contribution is only 50% as the remaining are just tamil lines of the original. BTW can someone tell me the meaning for the last line in the fist charanam?

Nice song Ramki

I always thought this was a Mallu song. Never knew a tamil version existed.

Nice writing on the oil bath

Bala

nice thalattu sort of melody Ramki.
My father ( no more now)used to like this song(Tamil version) for its lines especially "noyindri en pillai naalum vazha,noorandu kaalam mannil vazha"'aringnan endru unai puhazhndu potravae guru kadatchamae perum kumaraane. nallorhal vaazthuukal unnaicherum naalaiku un perai desam koorum'
He used to say that this is one of the very few songs that a father sings for his son.
There is also a SJ version to this song in malayalam.Is it there in Tamil as well?

a nice soothing thalattu type of song. KJY voiceil old age konjam therivathu pol irukku. (or is it by a old person in the movie?? )

In regards to the Devendran song in 'Aangalai Nambathe,' it's like a cent per cent lift from the song in 'Paasamalar' with the same title. I wonder how MSV and TKR took it.

I'd like to point out that the song "Kalyaanam Ennai Mudikka" in 'Metti' has flashes of "Vaaraayo Thozha Vaaraayo" as well. So in all, MSV-TKR had their song lifted at least twice, so catchy is this song. :lol:

Thanks bala

Mahesh i have not listened to female version of the song.


Mani the song is for Mammotty.

Pick #348

Song: kaNNan mugam
Movie: aayiram janmangaL
Singers : Jayachandran, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSViswanathan

I watched parts and pieces of AJ just last year. It was fairly interesting(and mostly predictable) But what me struck me was the similarity between Rajinis character in this film and his role in chandramukhi.
In AJ he played a foreign returned doctor who helps his sister(Latha) to get rid of padmapriyas ghost occupying her body. Vijayakumar played Lathas husband. Todays song is picturised on VK and PP.

I believe the film was a kannada remake. Two SJ solos 'venmegame' and 'azhaikkindre' are the highlights of AJ.
There is also a LRE solo picturised on Latha.

Was this the film that started the sparks between Rajini and latha that led to Rajinis brief hospitilization?
