Ramki, I guess this song is for Rekha? She becomes a victim of the collector Raja, who ditches her and marries Jeevitha (his boss's daughter??).
Besides Sivakumar, many incl Chandrasekar, Nalini, Rekha and the master actor performed very well.
Very nice singing by Chitra though she was in her early stage.
Thanks for the good number.
FM ungaLukku theriyadhadhaa? :)
SN23 im not sure if the song was for Rekha. I watched the DD version of the film and the song was not shown.

Song: uyire urave
Film: anbin mugavari
Singers: SJanaki, SPB
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Music: iLaiyaraja
Poetic title pathetic story . These 4 words should sum up Manivannan's 'anbin mugavari'(no this is not a Manivannan week :0 ). After the successful 'iLamai kaalangaL', MV repeated Mohan-Sasikala jodi in AM. The film begins with a jail break by Mohan and sathyaraj. While escaping from the police they fall in a river and get seperated. Mohan, washed away in the shores of a village, is rescued by sasikala and its 'love at first fright' for her. But our hero has a past that involves viji and a murder of villain who eve teases her. It doesnt even require peanut size brain to figure viji will live in the same village. She does but now she is married to..SSRajendran(yes believe me). Now viji has a past with sathyaraj who also ends up in the same village. sasikala starts chasing mohan who chases viji and sathyaraj chases her too(and the audience are chased out of the hall). There is also a evil koundamani's character. If you are still interested, this is what happens in the climax. Mohan kills sathyaraj, sasikala kills koundamani and they both travel in the same police jeep to their new mugavari(and this lovely song is played in the back).
The film went unnoticed so IR used this nice tune in 'anveshana' (paadum paravaigaL). The version-II of the song is 'nizhalo nijamo' and vairamuthu wrote they lyrics again :)
Also i feel 'uyire urave' was recorded for a different movie and MV used it in AM(Like he did for ingeyum oru gangai ). I feel so becuasue the lyrics did not suit the situation at all.(Uyire urave is a dream song and why should anyone sing about kaNNagi and kaNNagi magaL in a dream:) )
Good choice! It is:Quote:

I don't think it is her diction. It is the tune that makes her sing that way ! :)
Ramki,
They have taken lines from two different songs and made it a sad love song. mogathai kondru vidu is a plea to shakthi (mahasakthikku viNNappam) and from the line 'thoondil puzhuvinaip pol' the song is taken from kaNNan en kaadhalan sung in a romantic mood (srungaram/viraham). Whoever did the 'cut and paste' did not have much respect for Bharathiyar, in my opinion. But, it is a nice song! :)
Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the song!!!

Somehow I am not able to rasithufy this song; may be SSR and Viji comes to my mind/visual??? :lol:
Ramki,
aanaalum ungaLukku porumai adhikam :)
It sounds similar to 'vaazhvaa saavaa vidai solla vaa' too?
the song from ini oru sudhanthiram is a very good one deed.I have heard it before in one of K.J Y hit collections including the more popular' endru thaniyum.'
I watched 'ini oro...' in TRichy and we were one among handful of viewers.I remember it got a good review in vikatan.
there was also 2 more songs,one a group song with children along the lines of 'pallikoodam pogamalae'
& another song for chandrasekar & nalini.
mogathai kondruvidu was only present on casettes& was not present in the movie version.
thanks for the song
I'm not sure if SSR really marries Viji in the movie or if they pretend to be married until Mohan comes back. Goundamani is SSR's brother eying for his properties.
Beautiful selection, Ramki!!
Eduta neeve.... Abhinandana - Raaja used the same tune with fantastic different orchestration, this SPB solo with raaja’s special tabla is very melodious!
I prefer this song, an early version to the latter screechy, scary "Nizhalo nijamo" in Paadum Paravaigal. Iam surprised as I vaguely remember Kalki giving a good review for thE movie and music !!! The interludes are typical vintage IR stuff. The bass is also groovy.BTW is "alai meedhu thadumaruthey", a nice melody by VJ also from the same film? That song desrves hosting
alaimeedhu thadumaruthey is from the movie anbulla malarae sung by VJ & SPB
Thank you everyone for your additions,corrections and inputs

Song: endhan kaNNe
Film: ninaivo oru paravai
Singers: KJYesudoss, BSSasirekha
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Music: Jerry Amaldev
Jerry Amaldev is another talented malayalam MD who couldn't make it in TFM. He made his debut with Fazil, mohanlal, poornima jairam in 'manjil virijna pookaL'. The film and the songs were super duper hits. (You can listen to the songs at
http://www.raaga.com/channels/malaya.../M0000405.html)
His tamil debut 'ninaivo oru paravai' was never finished but the songs were hits in ilangai vaanoli and tiruchi vaanoli. I'm not sure who were the actors in NOP.
His second tamil film is Nadhiya's 'poove iLam poove' which had couple of good songs too(I can recall 'pattu paada vandhen' by VJ)
Ramki, the other song that I can re-call, 'oru pattam poochiyena vitta paranthu vidum' by SPS. there is one more duet song, which I can't recollect it. It's been a long time since I watched this movie :)

Songs: raama suguna/sri saarajana
Film: Lava kusa
Singers: PLeela, Psuseela
Lyrics: Marudhakasi/?
Music: KVMahadevan
'Lava kusa' is my favorite part of Ramayanam. Not only we witness the cowardice of King Rama but we also see the bravery of Seetha matha. The aswamedha yaagam and the ensuing battle scene add interesting chapters to this phase of ramayanam.
The film,with NTR anjalidevi gemini, was fairly engrossing. But the songs were amazing.
'jagam pugazhum punya kadhai' one of the best written songs in TFM. Marudhakasi amazingly folded the entire ramayanam into few poetic lines.
Todays picks are seldom heard to but they are not inferior in anyway. The short sloka by PS makes a great listening..try it.
Regarding ninaivo oru paravai, I am hearing for the first time. Its an OK song. The initial part of the song, KJY's starting lines reminds me of "idhu enna rathiri" song by him. Music muzhuvathum oru vitha mallu vaadai iruppathu pol oru unarvu. thanks. superb recording.
PS sloka is a good one (in Ranjani raga).
I saw lava kusa atleast 20 years back on video(when VCR was a craze)i only remember jagam pugalum from the movie.
Those days in all sad songs the play back singers thaembi thaembi azhuthaanga.( vikkal edukkara maadhiri)the first song is one such song.(pls take this comment lightheartedly)
the second one was good
by the way was lava kusa dubbed from telugu?
Mahesh those days our films were overdramatic. They had to overstress every emotion. Thembal illenaa maKKal soga patu illenu ninaichiduvaangaLondra bayam:)
I think LavaKusa was made side by side in tamil and telugu.

Song: poothu nikkudhu
Film: echil iravugaL
Singers: Malaysia Vasudevan, Jency
Lyrics: Prakasam?
Music: iLaiyaraja
This song is another proof to why IR was the reigning king of 70s and 80s TFM. The song flows like the cool spring breeze that seeps through your window sills. MV and Jency, not great singers but fortunate ones to sing such gems , do full justice to the song.
'echil iravugaL' was directed by Professor turned director A.S.Pragasam. The film was about panhandlers and trash pickers. Unfortunately the audience were not prepared to 'pick' this trash and it went straight to the bin. The film had Raveendar, Rupa, Vanitha (and Rajesh?).
The film had another great duet 'poo mele veesum poongaatre' By VJ and KJY.
Ramki: Jagam Pugazhum yerkenavE host paNNalayA? Anyways, a grand bible for a tale recitation through songs. PL, even now she lives in this song. PS, a junior to PL at that time gave an equivalent concert on par with PL. Both did a fabulous contribution to TFM, besides Ghantasala (Original MD) and KVM (MD for Thamizh Dubbing). Interesting to listen and realize that no overshadowing was attempted by both the legends.
When one watches the movie, he/she would see only Lava and Kucha singing, definitely not PL & PS. Great illaya :-)
----
Ramki, “poothu nikkudhu”, is it not by Jency? Jikki did not sing in echil IravugaL.
----
Mahesh, as Ramki righty said, emotions were over exhibited in yester year movies. Every aspect of the film like Dialogues, Lyrics & Songs etc had extra kAram in their region. Listen to KaNNile neer edarkku kAlamellam azhuvadarkku. In the mid of the song itself, you will become Ooravsi Saradha or Sowcar; thEmbi thEmbi kulungi kulngi azhuveergaL alongwith SG & SJ :-(
Hero of echil IravugaL is Muttai KaN Pratap Bothan :lol:
Ramki sir, thanx for the slogam by PS in lava kusha. It is really great with veena and violin as background.
even the PL and PS singing together with kevudal is also interesting. I could not reproduce. BTW, who completes the final kevi azhdal at the end? Leela?

I have never heard this song from Echil iravugal.BUt it is a good song definitely.
I have heard 'poomele veesum' and another song sung by SJ 'pootha malligai kaathu nikkuthu' which is reasonably good.
Indha A.S.prakasam thaan sivaji vaithu 'sadhanai' eduthaara?
Ramki -
I've been trying to recollect this song for sometime...I just couldn't get the tune right. Thanks for bringing the tune to my lost memory! I can't make out much of what Jency sings in the charanams...but one out of two ain't so bad! :D
Mahesh i thought 'pootha malligai kaathu nikkudhu' is from 'namma ooru nalla ooru'?
I must be wrong about pootha malligai, probably i was confused with the similar lines that both songs have.
No Mahesh, in many places I see the song 'pootha malligai kaathu nikkudhu' has been incorrectly attributed to 'Echil Iravugal".
Did Echil Iravugal had a solo that starts as "pootha..." sung by SJ? If so can u please advise more details

Song: enna kada selai
Film: adhai vida ragasiyam
Singers: PSuseela, BSSasirekha
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: Shankar Ganesh
This baila kind of song shows us the energetic, perky, fun voice of PSuseela, a total contrast to 'raama suguna' song we listened to last week.
The film must have released in mid 70s but PS voice was still young and fresh.
The song was picturised on fatafat and suma(?). Sivakumar and JaiGanesh were the male leads.
The popular song from AVR is 'sengarumbu thangakatti aelelenkuyile '(SJ, MV).
Ramki, AVR's Year of release is 1978. Yendha kada(i) sEla(i) is a solo by PS, of course with Chorus. I do not hear BSS voice in this song. This is sung for Fatafat who criticises Suma wearing the new saree gifted by her lover Sivakumar. She acted in only one movie, I think; Resembles Jayashree??. PS laughs after the vishayam sollattumA... so sweet :-)
AVR has one more beautiful by PS starting with harE gOpAlA sri hari mAdhavA. Really excellent. This is also for Fatafat, singing to stop Jaiganesh, the villain, to ruin the life of Suma.
Thanks for this rare song.
Ramki,
Thanks for the rare song "endha kada selai". I have been looking for this song for years and years. It is such a happy tune that makes you feel good rightaway. PS totally enjoys singing it. The contrast in the line endings is really nice - sela vs mElE, ALa vs AlE.
I can't hear Sasirekha either. But the first charanam poNNu pArvaikku sounds like a different singer in the beginning and ends sounding like PS.
Ramki -
Vandhaa, Indha Kadaikku Dhaan Varum Indha Saela-nnu Enakku Nallaavae Theriyum! :D
This song was inescapable for a few months, from teashops to Nichchayaththaarththams! I watched Adhai Vida Ragasiyam in the infamous Lakshmi Talkies (Mootapoochchi Mahal!) of Amaindhakarai. If you know anything about this cinema, you would know that it is flanked by a line of shops going this ways and that ways, and the density of the area can overwhelm any time of day. When this song came on (in an adhai vida bore film!), there, at the bottom of the blotchy screen, superimposed as a slide and flashing in all the colours of a rainbow, was the ingenuity of a local merchant: "Vidai: Taj Green Dhaan!"
Thanks for airing this hidden sari. It still looks as good as new to me!
"endha kadai selai" paatu endha kaalaththule kEttadhu!!!!
Whenever I tried to recollect the lyrics, I could remember only 2 or 3 lines and that laughter of PS:)

They used to play the first 2 lines of this song as advertisement for a saree shop in radio station. kadai peyar maRandhu vittadhu.
thanks ramki for this rare song.
Also thanks for the lava kusa songs.
what i wanted to say about this song 'JN' has already told.
I have also seen this movie but dont remember anything of it.
I also remember this song's first 2 lines aired on radio for saree shop ad.edhu endru nyaabagam illai.
Bala, as far as pootha malligai is concerned I have not seen echhil iravugal.I thought that it was from this movie b'cos my friend gave me a copy of Janaki hits on Cd. & on this he had handwritten that Pootha malligai was from Echill Iravugal.
Regarding the song mohathai kondruvidu from ini oru sudanthiram ,one of my friends thought it was an Islamic devotional song, he heard ALLAAL as ALLAH !!!!
Thank you everyone for your posts.
SN23 there are clearly 2 voices in the song. The first saranam is by a different singer and the cassette says BSSasirekha. It sounded like umaramanam to me

Song: nee varavillai
Film: mangaiyar thilagam
Singer: Madhavapeddi Satyam
Lyrics: maruthakasi
Music: SDakshinamurthy
For the past 2 days I'm trying to get rid of this song from my head but in vain. Yes , I have listened to the song previously but when last week i was digging for this weeks POW i found this gem and have been annoyingly humming it to myself.
Something about that voice. SO mesmerising ,soul piercing,so emotional.
The way he sings the lines:
aarudhal aLithidum annaiyin anbai
anaadhai naanum arivadhedhu
Its like a child's cry with an adult voice.
The voice has traces of ghantasala but its more refined and sophisticated.
When i searched for madhavapeddi i found the following link
http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/bio-d...havapeddi.html.
In 'Mangaiyar thilagam' a young looking Padmini played the aNNi character to Sivaji.Her pair was the character actor SVSubbaiyah
Looks like those days the stars were not scared of typecasting. Will Trisha or Asin play aNNi to vijay or ajit?(They might after few years but not when they are popular jodis).
MT also had my favorite favorite 'neela vaNNa kaNNa vaada' by Balasaraswathi.
Why dont they make such melodies anymore?
Hi Ramki..
thats a beautiful find...
Is there any other popular song by Sathyam in tamil films ?
I can remember one more song from this film "oru muraithan varum" by Jikki with the "da da da da" in proper place :P
