Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Thanks RC ! :P

Ramki -

This song suggles you up with the dreaminess of a lullaby. I was one of those mugangals that gave Poi Mugangal three hours of my life. A hapless minority for sure.
Having said that, let me run and hide face 8)

The featured song is a note-by-note lift of Pankaj Udhas's
"Deewaron Se Mil Kar Rona Achcha Lagta Hai
Hum Bhi Paagal Ho Jaayenge Aaisa Lagta Hai"

Thanks for this solo.

Madhu thanks for the correction.

Balaji i have no idea about the 'kaagitha sangiligaL' film

I always felt this song sounded like some Rafi song , Naaz thanks for pointing out the correct source.

Pick #98

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

Song: kaNvizhi enbadhu
Film: vaLaiyal satham
Singers: SJanaki, KJYesudoss
Lyrics: Muthulingam
Music: MSV

'vaLaiyal satham' is one of the several obscure movies of MuraLi that are still remembered only for their songs. Usually MuraLis film have IR's music. Vs is one of (or only one?) Muralis film with MSV's music. I think VS had MuraLi and saradha preetha.
Todays pick has a complex pallavi . Muthulingam displays his excellent talent with poetic lines and KJY,SJ sings with their know ease.
I remember one more solo by KSC 'aezhai kudisaiayil koozhai kudikkira'(FM's favoirte song) :)

Ramki :)
yEzhai kudisaiyil koozhai is super song :)
Lyrics is credited to 'vaalee'.
one more song that I know: 'nandha vana kuyilukku indha manam' by KJY & KSC.

I remember Silk & Kavundamani Comedy scene :)

speaking of obscure movies by MSV, there are plenty of them in that time frame. some of the movies that I immediately could think about them are "Raasaathi kalyaaNam" and "thanga kalasam". Raasathi kalyaaNam had a beautiful solo by KSC [raasaathi ennai thEdi varuvaarE] and the more popular one was "ippadiyum nadakkum endru"[it was popular in Mars].

Pick #99

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

Song: mounam aen mouname
Film: en jeevan paaduthu
Singers: Chitra, Mano
Lyrics: Panju Arunachalam?
Music: iLaiyaraja


Many times i wonder why ,and , how an amazingly soulful song can go unrecognised. Today's pick is a pure gem. The song has everything going for it..brilliant interludes, nice vocals(one of Mano's best), good lyrics. But still the song is long forgotten. Even when the film was released the song was not given much (or any) air time.
EJP, like all IR-Sunderarajan combos, had excellent songs.

'ore murai un dharisanam'-My all time SJ fav
'kaadhal vaanile' -SJ
'katti vachukko indha'-SJ,MV
'engirundho azhaikkum-LM, IR, Mano

'engirundho azhaikkum' was the only song from EJP that was listened to and asked for more.

EJP, i think, is 'the sixth sense' of Tamil films. The lead in both films can see (or talk to) dead people. I might be wrong, but i remember from the reviews that Charanya can see and talk to Karthik's ghost(or soul, whatever). The film did not go well but the songs are unforgettable.

Ramki: Pure Gem, it is! I only wish SPB had sung this song. Our folks here are taking a dig at this movie at http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewt...=jeevan#100421

Yes..Saranya can see and talk to Karthik's ghost! Kapildev sings this song when he & Saranya get engaged in the movie. This is one of the movies I sat through just for the songs, during my college days. The other one I remember going through the pain is Solla thudikkuthu manasu!

Ramki, you missed "aaN piLLai endraal oru meesai undu" by Mano & SJ.

kaadhal vaanil Odum mEgamE was missing in the movie [ I think so] or otherway around. It was missing in the cassette.

I haven't ever heard 'Kaathal Vaanil Odum'. I guess that song was missing from the cassette?

'engirundho azhaikkum' was for another heroine Sudha, who married director Bharath (Chinna MuL Periya MuL)??
