Pick of the Week: Aug 2006 - Sep 2007

As Murali-ji said, Hello Yaar Pesuradhu was directed by Ramarajan. I'm not sure if Pandiyan was the hero. I think it was a thriller(?). Jeevitha could be the heroine...

Neel D: Neenga ennaya vechu comedy panreengaLaa? naan meyyalumE pachcha puLLa thaan... :P

RC,
தப்பா நினைச்சுக்காதீங்க! ஏதோ ஜோக் அடிக்கிற ஜோர்ல உங்க பேரையும் இழுத்துவிட்டுட்டேன். காலையிலே காபி கொஞ்சம் அதிகமா குடிச்சிட்டேன்னு நினைக்கிறேன்.

Neel D: adhu edhuna special coffee-aa? :)

RC, நிச்சயமாக ஸ்பெஷல் காபிதான். சோம்பேறிகளின் ஸ்பெஷல். நயம் இன்ஸ்டன்ட் காபி. :-)

Pick #505

Song: nAn kAthal kiLi
Film: Thaaikku Oru Pillai
Music: Shankar-Ganesh
Singers: P.Susheela, S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1972

Again an obscure film with at least one beautiful song. I am sure there are other good songs in the film but I only have this one. A lovely melody from the duo Shankar-Ganesh. Great early 70s feel and takes you back in time in an instant.

This song is kind of a nEyar(Usha) viruppam. Because I don't have any of the PS-SPB duets requested by Usha, I am presenting this nice duet from the same pair.

Nalla Padal

If my memory serves right the movie had Jai, Savithri, AVM Rajan and Nirmala (could be Lakshmi or Kumari Padmini not sure). I saww the movie when I was 5 year old or something, still remember AVM Rajan takes care of Savithri after ditched by her husband I think. Jai is Savithri son. AVM R brings up and sings the marvellous AMR song (how I miss his songs ..)

This movie had a wonderful AMR song "Chinna Kannane, Naan Thandhai ena, nee pillai ena oru Bandham vandhahu...', when Jai as a baby kicks AVM R..

Though I have heard the POW song, the AMR used to be played often

Bala

Balaji.. adhu veNNira aadai nirmala-thaan :P

Arumaiyaana paadal. I never heard this song before, but i heard another beatiful song in the same movie " Chinna kannane" by AMR. Thanks for post extreme rare song.

Neel: SG with SPB/PS had given lot of good songs?? Never heard this Kadhal song. Thank you pal :-)

(என்னால்) மறக்கப்பட்ட அற்புதமான
"செல்ல கண்ணனே நான் தந்தையென நீ பிள்ளையென.."
பாடலை நினைவூட்டியதற்க்கு மிக்க நன்றி!

Thanks to Madhu for confirming. Thanks to others as well.

Neel D

If you get hold of "Kalayana Raman kolam Kondan, Kannale Seethai.." song please do host.

I used to like SG of those days and used to love the "Vakkuruthi " song. "Kanne Thedi Vandhadhu Yogam.." - TMS/PS - JAI/Nirmala I suppose.

If that song is available, please do host

Bala

balaji, I don't have those songs now. But I will try to get them.

Pick #506

Song: muppathu paisA
Film: Pookkari
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: L.R.Eswari
Lyrics: Vaali
Year: 1973

From Pazahkkari to Pookkari, from stripper girl to fatafat girl, LRE has sung for all kinds of professions. The Pookkari was still going strong, some 15 years after her entry into TFM, holding on to her permanent second place. LRE was all natural talent, no formal training. I wish they had composed songs specially for her voice and talent, instead of fitting her into whatever character they liked, or disliked. But that is TFM.

Today's song was very popular along with the other great songs from the same film. "muppathu paisA", "kAthalin ponvIthiyil", "muththuppal sirippennavO" were all hits. I don't know if the film was a hit, but it was a good film.

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow07/muppathu.rm

30 paisa, another excellent piece of L.R.Eswari. Thanks for host this song.

Neel D & Balaji, I have "Vaakkuruthi" song "Kanne Thedi" in RAM format. Pls guide me how can i send to you guys? or maybe i will post in the tfm page group. Is that OK?

Jack

Neel,

LRE is one true versatile singer. :thumbsup:

Jack: yes, you can upload in the Files section.

sorry guys, :oops: you carry on. :cry:

RR,
I have uploaded few sons including "Vaakuruthi" film song.

Jack

Neel: TFMpage gama gamakkudhu :-) Super singing by LRE. First class fit for her. kalakkittaanga. Roja malli mullai sampangi kadhambhammmm....

I guess this was 2nd film of Mu.Ka.Muthu (first being piLLaiyO piLLai). Manjula acting in title role, sacrificing for the 2nd heroine V.Nirmala. Also guess Jayachitra acted as Thangai of MKMuthu.

Ippa ellam engE muppadhu paisAkku mooNu mozham poo kediakkudhu? oru roja poo kooda thara mAttAnga :-)

Thanks Neel.. I really enjoyed listening to this long-time-not-heard song.

This is an OK song for me... I'm not a big fan of LRE. IMO, off my head, only kaadhOdu thaan naan paaduvEn stands out among all her songs.

I'm with NOV on this....

I think RC was asking a rhetorical question... right RC?

Thanks RR & Jack!
Neel D: I was trying to find the Files section here in the portal.

Thanks Jack! Am able to listen to the songs in the Files section :)

vel1970 & Jack, you are welcome.

RR, I totally agree.

SN23, you are correct. LRE knocked it out of the park.

NOV & RC, I respectfully disagree.

Pick #507

Song: ARenggum thAn uRangga
Film: Manasukkeththa Maharasa
Music: Deva
Singer: S.Janaki, Mano
Lyrics: Kaalidasan
Year: 1989

One can never guess when Deva will spring a surpise. In the wide variety of music that Deva has composed (light, folk, light-classical, pop, gaana) he has given a good share of good music now and then, but most people choose to remember him as a gaana maker, some of which are very good too. Here is a nice folkish song by Deva, for a Ramarajan film. Though some song lines here and there may have been borrowed from traditional folk songs, the lyrics by Kaalidasan are very beautiful.

சாடை எழுதி வெச்ச சாந்து சுவத்திலெல்லாம்
ஆடி மழை அடிச்சு அத்தனையும் கரைஞ்சிருச்சு

...beautiful lines!

Mano does a decent job delivering the song. But SJ's expressiveness, and experience, overshadows him. At the end of the lullaby, the short thaalaattu sound is a nice touch and SJ inserts it with no effort.

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow07/arenggum_mm.rm

Wow!
One of the many songs that I was drawn to during my college days... I cant believe that I forgot this song!
Isn't that the beauty of this thread... unearthing forgotton/rare songs?
Ramarajan and Seetha in the cast. Isnt mansukkEtha maharaasa the first movie for Deva?
What else can I say other than Thank You, Neel D? :)

Lyrics by Kavingar Kaalidasan (who was deva's aasthana lyricist in few films)

Vaali hailed Kaalidasan saying "enga oora pathi arumaya ezhudirukkayya"endru

Nice song

Film had another nice song by SPB& PS "Aathu mettu thopukkula "

I happened to find the video for this song...
http://www.techsatish.com/2007/07/aa...asukettha.html

Surprisingly few responses for a SJ song... :?

RC, you are welcome.

rajeshkrv, the audio cassette I have credits Pulavar Pulamaipithan... again :?

Pick #508

Song: veLanjirukku sOLakkAduthAn
Film: Rajagopuram
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Singer: K.J.Yesudas, S.P.Shailaja
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1985

A nice rustic song by IR. Though set at a fast tempo the song is sung smoothly by KJY and SPS. Nice to hear SPS sing without getting too excited.

The film starred Pandian and Nalini.
