I'm glad you took the time to read the long story - mikka nanRi!

actress in guruvayoorappa is not Sithara
Does Sithara have any song at all in the movie? (I'll have to check-out the other youtubes later today)...
groucho,
:rotfl: on your comments on heroinees...
BTW, yes, it's fun to alasify movies / TFM after some liquor. During late 90's, every visit to "Fort Palace" bar in Palakkad (with colleagues, at least 3 -4 times a year, strictly when the family was away) ended with min one hour loud talking in the parking lot on IR-ARR; i.e. after at least an hour on the same topic inside the bar :-)
Of course, but surprisingly that is an inimitable SPB solo 'KEladi Kanmani'. The music which expresses freedom in both of them. Another fun song 'EllOrum Maavaata Kathukidanum' which again involves both Raghuman and Sithara.Quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahman_(actor)
In 1980s Tamil movies, he is credited as "ரகுமான்" - so it is Raghuman in Tamil.Quote:

For a purist, it will be "இரகுமான்" or Rakuman (Someone with better knowledge in Tamil Grammar correct me if I am wrong).
Sorry You got me wrong :) I am not Debating about Tamil Vs Sanskrit.Quote:

Any way, just my humble opinion , No offence meant :)
#307 கேளடி கண்மணி
(புதுப்புது அர்த்தங்கள், 1989)
kELadi kaNmaNi (song, not the movie)
SPB special.
Enough said.
It was around the time when this cassette was playing the most at our bachelor home, we had a Thrissur trip to attend another co-worker's marriage. This is the third unusual marriage attendance for me. It was early-1990 I think (or last part of 1989) and we rode four 100cc's at terrific speed (me in my new Kawasaki being one of the drivers) to reach the maNdapam located on the "circle".
Any who visited this 4th biggest town in Kerala (after Kochi, Kozhikkode & Thiruvananthapuram) must be familiar with the beautiful circle in the heart of the town. There's an elevated, almost hill-like ground in the inner part of this huge circle. That's where a temple is located which is the venue of 'pooram' festival that showcases lot of elephants each year. Very picturesque place, with all kinds of shops / businesses located on the other side of the road-around-the-circle.
By the time we reached the hall, the marriage was almost over and we stood in the line to meet the couple on stage and greet them. The groom was a very brilliant chap, silent most of the time but when he speaks, sharp answers! Terror to bosses as they will be given 'on-the-face' answers to their stupid questions (which was mostly the case)...he was almost total grey at the time of marriage though still in late-20's or may be early-30's. Well, in total, he was one of my fav co-workers!
It was around 11 and the typical 'crowd-watching' was going on and food was not so much in the mind of any of us. By this time, I've started enjoying the matta ari / nEnthram chips / adapradhaman etc and would have thoroughly relished the meal that day. However, the gang had different plans and I had to comply with the crowd. The decision by the "leader" (the friend whose Hero Honda was the training bike of us all, as mentioned in an old post) was to go across the circle to a nice b-c-r :-)
So, the bikes roared around the circle to reach the white painted bar-cum-restaurant, as the unanimous decision was to enjoy kingfisher on that hot day in that sweaty town. If someone had suggested that I would do such a thing (bar-ring when attending a wedding) a couple of years back, I could have fainted. What a fast change in lifestyle! Perhaps the first time for me to skip a vivAha sadya (interesting blog post in this link) to go to beer, right in the middle of the day :shock:
Well, we all had a terrific session, great food and a "high-risk-high-speed" ride back on the highway :oops:
There's a sad end to this story (much like the mild sad feeling one gets when listening to this song). That brillant chap left our org shortly thereafter. One of my teammates was closer to him and was in touch with him afterwards too and kept us updated as to his life events.
His family life was happy. They had a child. On one day he, wife and child happily went to bed. His heart failed and he didn't wake up in the morning :cry:
