Song: naalu vagai poovil
Film: Raamayee vayasukku vandhuttaa
Singers: SJanaki, Jayachandran
Lyrics: MGVallaban
Music: Gangai Amaran
Movies are remembered for their storylines, performances , sometimes for their songs, charecterisations etc. Rarely they are remembered for their titles..RVV belongs to such genre.
The filmmaker grabbed everyones attention by this outrageous title. Usually movies belong to 'coming of age' genre but naming the genre itself as the title can happen only in tamil cinema. '16 vayadhinile' ,'kaNNi paruvathile', 'vayasu poNNu', 'vayasu pasanga' :).
Despite having a provocative title , a beautiful Menaka(introduction) and couple of good songs by GA, this movie couldnt stay in the cinema halls for a week. I have no idea of other actors in this film but i remember one other song, A cute solo by SJ 'adi raamayee hey raakayee'.
'naalu vagai poovil' is an nice duet by GA. The unpopularity of the movie did not help keep the song for a long time on the radios(like many other good songs by GA).
I wish we had the radio mirchi and other FM's those days. These obscure songs might have got more air time
Ramki: I think his name is Mano, Prabhu's cousin!
Thanks for the nice song Ramki!
I believe there was another popular song by VJ. Was it 'Naalu Madhangal Ulagin Vasantha..' or something like that..
Bala
Hi Balaji!
"nalu madhangal ulaginil vasantha kaalangaL" by VJ is from the film "karai kadantha oruthi (kuRathi ?)"..
another popular song from the film is "Odathile thanneeru" by SJ !

Song: iraivan endroru
Film: aen
Singer: SPB
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: TRPappa
This is one of SPB's initial songs. His voice sounds so young and different from what we are used to.
According to JN , 'aen' had Ravichandran and Lakshmi in the lead. This film was released in 1970. I have no other details about this film.
In the same year, SPB gave an interview to sivakumar for 'Bommai' magazine. Thanks to RC for sending me the interview(RC received this through SPB yahoo group from Thenraja). You can read the first part of the interview by clicking on the the link below.
I plan to make this a SPB week. I will post the remaining portions of the interview in the coming days.

ramki, "why" had AVM.Rajan and Lakshmi as brother and sister and Nirmala as heroine. Ravi did not figure in the movie. This is what I know.
Kannan enakkoru pillai, nAn kanni thAn innum thAi Aga villai for Lakshmi by Sulamangalam sister is another good song in this film. SS laughs in between :-)
man!! is that SPB!! hard to recognize him at the beginning! :roll:
