Song: ithazh irandum
Movie: Rani Samyuktha
Singers : APKomala, TMSoundararajan
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: KVMahadevan
Year : 1962.


My friend reminded me of this song. A non-PS song for padmini was a rare occurence in 1960's .
I first listened to this song few years back in oli. I was not aware of the detail. Sathya kabali gave me the info here

http://www.tfmpage.com/forum/11749.oldsongs.html.

I was surprised to learn that the song was from a MGR film.
Padmini and MGR acted together in 10-12 films?
Madhurai veeran, mannadhi mannan, raja desing, rickshawkaaran...and?

Well i hope this is a rare song:)

Ramki..

yes.. In this film even Jamuna rani sings a song for Padmini
you have to change the details...
its still showing "mannadhi mannan".

Seekazhi Govindarajan and AP Komala sing for MGR and Padmini in Rajarajan... tha popular "nilavOdu van mugil viLaiyAduthE" !

raja desingu ?

"VarugiRaal ummai thedi" by MLV in "thanga padhumai" - Is it for pathmini?

One more question:
1.Mullai malar kaadu
engaL mannavar than naadu....from rani samyuktha..
2. kaaLai varuvadhaRkuL kanni bali aavadhaRkuL ..from the same movie.
Who is the singer? Thanks in advance. :)

Ramki: I got oruvanukku oruthi endu song. Shall I send? If yes, whats ur mail-id?

I started listening to APKomala song with genuine interest. But oh... sOham.. With due to respect to APK, I would say she straine herself too much to complete the song. When she sings "pudhiya kaalam pirandhadendru" abaswara kOlam.

Whereas MLV song is great. I was told that Padmini dances (forced to dance by PS Veerappa) for this song. Really feel like watching the movie, at least for Padmini.

Pick #394

Song: ilangaiyin iLamkuyil
Movie: Pilot Premnath
Singers : TM Soundararajan, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MS Viswanathan
Year : 1978

This song is one of Madhus request and my favorite number too. The song was a regular in vividh bharathi during the late 70s. IMO, the song was the only good thing about this movie. It was a typical sivaji film. A rich, silk lungi wearing, pipe smoking sivaji , father of few adults, reads a letter from his late wife that one of his child is not his. He immediately suspects his wife's fidelity and starts singing 'who is the black sheep' and doubts each and every one of his kid. Three of them i guess. Vijaykumar, Jaiganesh and sridevi. Finally he learns that the blind sridevi is the black ewe(female sheep?:) ) and she was adopted by his wife(or something like that).
A srilankan actress malini fonseka was paired with Sivaji.
'azhagi oruthi iLani' is a foottapping number from PP. There was also a anniversary-bday song by a group of singers..cant remember the lines.
Todays song is picturised on Sivaji and MF. The locations were splendid. I guess it was picturised in Colombo.

Ramki..

thanks ..
the b-day song is "kOpi thotta modhalALikku kozhumbulathAne kalyANam"
