Pick #578

Song: pAsam oru vEsam
Film: Pasam Oru Vesam
Music: Shyam
Singers: P.Susheela, Mano
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Year: 1987

Pasam Oru Vesam was directed by Jayadevi and starred Ranjani, Madhuri, Vinu Chakravarthi, Nasser, etc. Ranjani is a village girl being raised by her brother Vinu. She is in love with a boy from the other part of the village. He rides by her house on his bicycle ringing the bell to get her attention and they nurture their love by just exchanging glances and occassionaly few words while separated by a wall. When their love becomes known, her brother and the village are against it. Fearing the backlash her boyfriend backs out, rejects Ranjani's idea to elope and leaves the village. Vinu arranges a marriage for Ranjani with the much older Idikarai Murugesan. And during all this Ranjani has to tactfully deal with her brother-in-law Nasser's lustful advances. Tired of it all, Ranjani contemplates suicide. That is the background of today's pick in a nutshell. Vairamuthu spills his viyarvai for this song. Other songs in the film hardly have any orchestration. Will post one of those songs soon.
