Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Another melodious song set to a jubiliant mood from RVV(Ramayi) is "chinna ponnu manam ponni nadhi veLLam pole" , sung by SJanaki. I could watch only one half of RVV in our good old podhigai , last year. For today's Tamil Film standards, I must admit it was a pretty neatly made film with plausible story line, innocent village characters aka BR films. I wanted to watch the whole film

SN23 and Ramki: I have video of this song. I thought this song is by ravi chandhiran. May be I am wrong. Sorry ramki. I will check it if I find the vcd or cassette.

Thank you all for your inputs

Pick # 94

Song: pullankuzhal mozhi
Film: oorum uravum
Singers: SPB , Vanijairam
Lyrics: pulamaipithan
Music: shankar Ganesh


Thanks to Thiru for requesting this nice melody. As I mentioned last week, SG duo frequently surprised music listeners by creating gems like today's pick. SPB and VJ add more saccharine to already sweet song but still we are left asking for more.

'oorum uravum' had sivaji, KRV, nizhalgaL ravi and sumalatha(??). I remember reading couple of reviews on this film and they all said good stuff. I think the film is about a whole village educating a student(NR?) who later forgets his roots and rots in selfishness.

'piLLaiyai' by TMS, PS is another ok duet from OU.

Pick # 95

http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/odam_kr.rm

Song: odam kadalodum
Film: kaNmani Raja
Singers: PSuseela, SPB
Lyrics:kaNNadasan?
Music: MSV

Romantic duet at its best. The soft melodious voices, breezy interludes and interesting lines makes this song a very pleasant one. The first interlude begins with a whistle sound. I think MSV used this whistle sound in many of his 70s songs. Songs like 'janakarin magaLai', 'sollathaan ninaikkiren', 'nenjathile nee netru vandhai'(not a 70s song) etc had nice 'whistling' interludes.

'kaNmani Raja' had sivakumar and Lakshmi in the lead. I remember reading Lakshmi's interview where she mentioned that majority number of her films are with Sivakumar.
KR also had the extremely popular duet 'kaadhal viLaiyaada'

Third part of SPB's interview:

Thanks ramki for the oorum uravum POW.. unfortunately no one to discuss about it..:(..

ramki, there is a duet by SPB & PS "Kaathal jothi anaiyaathathu". Is it from Oorum uravum OR Kadhal Jyothi (an old film, story by CN Annadurai).

Sivakumar and Lakshmi was one of the best pairs of those days, even now too. their best picture was avan, aval, adhu.
