Ilaya Nila cud well be the song of TFM..
There used to be a time when it was impossibe to complete a day without hearing this wonder ..
A song which made a movie run for 25 weeks..
Have seen so many ppl attempting the Guitar piece on Youtube but not one has got close to the original ..
A song for long drives/joy/love/emotion etc etc ..
Not a single fellow can say he doesnt like this song ..
Truly a landmark song ..
1982 is going rock solid thanks to App..Have discussed Moondram Pirai and Payanangal Mudivathillai..Hope next its Ninaivellam Nithya on the anvil ..
MP had only one SPB song while PM had 7, so you'll have to put up with me on PM for a week :wink:Quote:

then what about Maniyosai kettu ezhunthu. Sometime i am forced to rate slightly above the ilaiyanila while i am listening this song
yes, but Maniyosai is a sad song, where else Thogai ila mayil and Ilaiya nila are Romantic One!Quote:

Every song in PM is a gem ..Waiting to hear the college reactions that time to Hey Aatha Aathoram :)

(பயணங்கள் முடிவதில்லை, 1982 )
A song which was very unlike any IR song-prior! Sounding like a bakthippAttu while accommodating all the cinematic ingradients to make it catchy. Obviously, SPB's contribution is monumental in making this song a big hit (along with other numbers of this movie). The symbiosis too worked very well, with the first-timer RS providing nice "situations" and ok "picturizations" for each song of the movie. (Some of those may appear "not-that-great" from today's POV, but they were welcomed with both hands and embraced by the TN of 1982!)
Actually, the movie itself can be viewed from two angles. One view can be 'hey-what-was-new-after-all-singer-louvvu-dramatic-moments-cancerru-loud-comedy-etc-haven't-we-seen-these-all-before-(ninaithAle inikkum / johny)'.
A totally opposite view could be 'hey-first-time-a-PB-singer's-rise-on-celluloid-with-poet-as-lover-and-woman-behind-man's-success-principle-misinterpretation-of-sacrifice-under-norms-of-society-poetic-ending-etc'
It depends upon the maturity level of the movie watching community. Obviously, majority in TN took the 2nd viewpoint. And, such acceptance got promoted largely due to the "IR-SPB-factor" and the stunning levels of excellence both provided in this album :-)
All that RS needed was to come out with a not-so-irritating-script for a winner and IMO he did a nice job :-) I want to stress the "not-irritating" thing once again as very similar situations had thoroughly irritating presentations in many other movies, IMSO. (e.g. vAzhvE mAyam's "blood kakkifying" visuals with the "prevailing-foolish-thingy-that-KH-needs-min-two-women-per-film" were nauseating to me and so was the "rain-spoiling-song" of enakkuL oruvan and such dramatic movies). PM was a simple, sweet movie about an aspiring singer helped by an influential poet-girl to be successful. And no irritating visuals (despite the cancer thingy) but sufficient drama to keep the proceedings peppy to the end.
rAgadheepam has this "different sounding saraNams" which is a relative rarity in TFM (means, doesn't happen in most songs). I'm especially thrilled with the 2nd interlude where the music aptly captures the dramatic transformation in the weather and SPB nicely follows up with 'Anandha gangai veLLam pongapponga' (what lovely emotions, I say)!
>> A song which was very unlike any IR song-prior! <<
app, Is not like 'Kadhal Oviyam' movie songs? BTW when Kadhal Oviyam was released?
I too think, this song was so popular as much as Ilaiya nila, maniyosai and greater than all other songs in popularity
Yes, the song is of similar style as Kadhal Oviyam which came in the same year but I'm not sure about exact time of release :-( Most probably after MP-PM that came in Feb. (BTW, BR's tik-tik-tik was towards the end of 1981 and KO could not have made it that early in 1982)Quote:

If not for IR's music we would have forgotten all these movies by now. There were about 6-7 movies from this combo. Many of these movies made more business than good movies like Moondram Pirai. If my memory is right, good movies like Kathal Oviyam and Raja Paarvai were box office disasters.
Around 1985/86, KT went away from Raja and made some movies with Laxmikant-Pyarelal and V.S.Narasimman. But could not recreate the magic without IR. After RS-KT, this idea was taken to the next level by Ramarajan, Raj Kiran and Kasturi Raja - and they cut open the "Goose That Laid the Golden Egg".
Small correction there genesis...Following PM's success, Kovai Thambi (Motherland pictures) did a number of movies with IR but only one had RS as director (nAn pAdum pAdal, another movie I love).Quote:

4th unnai nAn sandhiththEn & 5th udhaya geetham : K Rangaraj was the director (who was an assistant to Bharathiraja)
6th idhayakkOvil : Maniratnam was the director
These are the six Kovai Thambi's MP + IR combo that I know of. (The producer picked L-P for the Nadhiya starrer uyirE unakkAga that had the sweet 'panneeril nanaintha pookkaL mella chirikka'. After that movie I stopped following their productions)
App,
Through Payananga Mudivathillai and its songs you brought back beautiful memories. Great songs and great write-up with again lot of never knew insights.
Our school had a playground where we usually go for our PT class. One side of the play ground is covered by a back wall of the theatre. Normally we can hear the dialogues, songs from our playground itself and most of us go near to the wall, when our PT master was not nearby. This is one of the films where we got to hear the songs and some dialogues before watching the film. Also as some of our friends have already watched the film used to narrate which scene was going on. All these became a teaser and could not avoid ignoring this film anymore. I still remember cutting the class one afternoon (yes at that young age) and watched this film and went home straight. I still could not believe how did i do that? I will leave it you how the rest of day would have been for me.:) I watched this film may be around 5-6 times, but everytime with one of our relatives. Very lovable film!
Sorry genesis, I can never agree to this, if it were some other composer, may be, but it can never be true for Ilaiyaraaja who is a gifted composer. I believe we are not giving much thought about this recent compositions and just dismissing it, saying it's not like 80's. It's all prejudice.Quote:

PM has lovely songs that it's hard to pick one over the other as a favorite. Each song is special in its own way. Did IR play guitar for the Ilaya Nila song or was it somebody else?
Vaan Engum from MP is a spellbinding composition, the visual imagery it invokes for the dawn/dusk and sea shore setting is beyond comparison.
Who was the director for PM?
Ofcourse, R Sundarrajan!Quote:

(BTW, R Sundarrajan has made many IR movies in different banners - like vaidhEki kAthirundhAL, amman kOvil kizhakkAlE, rAjAthi rAjA, en jeevan pAduthu, thirumathi Palanichamy)
R.Sundarrajan is one lucky for he got extraordinary songs for his not so extraordinary movies.
Ada...aamangoo. Makes sense.Quote:

And other songs are a real treat too, IR/SPB/RS combination rocked ! and never failed to create chart topping magic !
Interesting write ups abt yr college days app_eng ;-))

Unfortunately, one old news item ninaivukku vanthu tholaiththadhu, when watching this video :-(
That was the arrest of the other actress (Rajini) shortly after the run of this movie...
rAga deepam has youtube presence too :
(very few views, however)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvynWdkP6WU
Poornima Jayaram was one decent, nice actress!
While she didn't have great airs about 'touch me not' etc (like Nadia / Shalini), nobody ever felt she was indecent at any point of time.
"Love marriage" with K Backiaraj was a nice thing to happen and they had 2 children who have both acted in movies.
app, agree with Poornima. Beautiful too. She should have won the competition with Rajini :evil:

Even at that age, the strip-to-jatti-hey-so-i-have-won-the-dance-competition antics of Rajini in that song seemed outrageously silly. Thanga Magan, Aduththa Vaarisu was a series that even peak Rajini fans didnt take to heart - this is but an example of the silliness that SPM made him go through after the initial flush of Murattu Kaalai's success.
Another only-tamizh-cinema-fossible is the conclusion to sangeetham paada gnAnam uLLavargaL vENdum in Idhu namma ALu, where Bhagyaraj with his "he rum pum" antics wins a music competition over Shobana's teacher-amma-voice-fuelled light-semi-classical piece. Admittedly, a light weight competition but Bhagyaraj's hey hey rum pum wins only because he is the director-actor. The silliness rubbed me off the wrong way and went a long way in curing my MCP_ness(admittedly, a continuing journey that, for no man is completely cured of it in his lifetime)
Imagine how I felt on the other camp. Anyway, Rajini committed the same crime in Pandiyan. SPM-a arrest pannunggapa :evil:
app,
As I said in another thread, things getting tighter and I am not able to see all posts everyday. So let me in advance give you a gunny sack full of compliments !! :D You are doing a terrific job and I am enjoying all the posts.
I think the greatest achievement of yours has been to ensure Plum came out of the woodwork :lol: It has been a while since he had stopped posting regularly. Nice to see him post often in this thread.
ராகதீபம் ஏற்றும் நேரம் புயல் மழையோ has similar type of Msuical intruments to that of சங்கீத ஜாதி முல்லை from kadhal Oviyum, even tune is some what similar!
Recently some Film of Veesal had the remake of "ஏ ஆத்தா ஆத்தோரமா" it was "horrible", These re-makes of MSV / IR songs should be banned :evil:
Yes, me being a Rajni fan, got irritated with such "dumb" scenes! :evil:Quote:
