October 17th 1952 - A memorable day for Tamil movie world
Parasakthi (1952)(Tamil), the first movie with Sivaji Ganesan in the lead, was released on this day. I watched it in early 1953 when I was in 5th form or 10th standard.
The movie has at least one song borrowing a Hindi tune. Here is the Hindi song from Sunhre Din(1949) :
Maine Dekhi Jag Ki Reet...

Here is the song from Parasakthi:
ill vaazhvinile oLi yetrum deepam nam kaadhal deepam...

Parasakthi is a classic worth watching even now. I bought a copy of the movie when I visited India a few years back.
A stalwart in Hindustani Classical sings for the movie Drishti(1990)
Very rarely we hear movie songs by classical musicians. Here is one by Kishori Amonkar in Drishti:
Megha Jhar Jhar Barsat Re..................

The raga is Megh Malhar.
Manna De's earliest movies
A few days back Ragadevan announced the passing away of Manna De with a link to the article in The Hindu.
May his soul rest in peace.
The article mentions Ram Rajya and Mashaal and also a song from Mashaal. Here is that song.
Upar Gagan Vishaal Neechche.............

I posted a few of his songs earlier.
RD has opened a new thread on Manna De. Please visit that thread for more on Manna De and his songs.
