Picks 536 - 770

Neel: Anandham song just resembles Maharajan ulagai aalalaam, illiaa? Good tune. To my ear sunandha voice sounds like Soolamangalam rajalakshmi of her young days :-)

vel1970, thanks.

Pick #582

Song: ithO ithO ithO
Film: Mannikka Vendugiren
Music: Chakravarthi
Singers: S.P.Shailaja, Mano
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Year: 1990

Mannikka Vendugiren starred Dr.Rajasekar and Deepika Chikalia. Dubbed from Telugu, of course. Rajasekar is a physician who loves his wife Deepika very much. But due to circumstances he believes that his wife is cheating on him with a childhood friend of hers (let us call him Babu). Rajasekar spies on his wife, sees Babu and a woman together in bed in his house, mistakes the woman (Shantipriya, Babu's girlfriend) for Deepika and assumes that his wife is sleeping with Babu. He schemes a great plan. He fakes his own death and frames Babu as the murderer. Babu gets the death penalty while Rajasekar goes into hiding. Shantipriya seeks Sarathbabu's help to investigate the murder to prove her boyfriend's innocence. Sarathbabu, a detective or something, cracks the puzzle and finds Rajasekar. Sarathbabu tells Rajasekar that whom he saw with Babu was Shantipriya and not Deepika. Rajasekar realizes his mistake and runs to save Babu's life. (phew! got that all out in one breath).

You must have figured the reason for the title of the film. Now... the faithful wife, the husband who doubts her character, faithful Sita, suspecting Rama, Ramayan, Deepika Chikalia... you see the connection? Today's pick was filmed on the leads during their happy days before the infidelity suspicion arises.

Typical telugu style song. Chakravarthy one of the leading MD in tollywood, gives nice fast beat duet which easily can attract youngsters. You are rocking like anything NeelD. Keep going buddy.

Pick #583

Song: nAn iravil ezuthum
Film: Subamuhurtham
Music: Shankar-Ganesh
Singers: K.J.Yesudas, Kalyani Menon
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1983

Subamuhurtham starred S.V.Sekar and Sulakshana. Probably a low-budget comedy. Thanks to those days when television was not common, memories of beautiful songs like today's pick are not tainted by their picturizations.

Thanks to Priya for sending this song.

Pick #584

Song: athO vAnilE OrAyiram
Film: Mudhal Paadal
Music: S.A.Rajkumar
Singer: S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: S.A.Rajkumar
Year: 1993

"Mudhal Paadal" was a great effort from S.A.Rajkumar. It has eight full length songs and two bit songs. S.A.Rajkumar also wrote the lyrics for all the songs except one song which is in English. All songs have great orchestration and the film also has good re-recording. Mainly the songs are of different tunes. SAR's hardwork does show in the result. But, the tunes of some of the songs are not quite catchy enough to make the album an instant hit. In addition, some of the voices were a bit of a letdown. The album would have been a big hit had it come a few years earlier, before "ARR" happened.

The film was also produced by SAR, and it left him bankrupt. The story was about a guy falling in love with a young catholic nun. He is very persistent about getting her love. The nun's willpower is shaken. After a lot of struggle with her feelings and her vow, the nun decides to give up her religious service and marry the guy. The nun's father and brother are against it and they turn the whole town against the couple. But the younger generation of the town revolts against their parents' generation and supports the couple. Some more things happen and the film ends on a happy note with the couple being united in marriage. It was not a boring film, but the story was unnecessarily forward and the leads looked a little mature.

Today's pick is a nice song from the film. It is sung by the guy soon after he falls in love with the girl.
