Lyrics:
Year: 1979
Vijayan had a great screen presence and played unforgettable roles in films such as Uthiripookkal, Niram Maratha Pookkal, Pasi, Mann Vasanai, etc. The time he entered films also had such good films with memorable and unusual (for the time) characters. He fit those roles perfectly and gave wonderful performances.
This song is dedicated to the memory of actor Vijayan.

kalyANa kOvilin (Sathyam)
Pick #532
Song: kalyANa kOvilin
Film: Sathyam
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Singers: P.Susheela, S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1976
The lyrics of "kalyANa kOvilin" has a literary quality that makes me think it was probably by Kannadasan. But in those days most of the songs had lyrics of high quality anyway. PS and SPB at their best. A great composition by KVM. I do feel the shades of "mullaippU pallakku" here and there. But "kalyANa kOvilin" takes more of a love song path while "mullaippU pallakku" is a totally exotic and sexy song.
Sathyam was one of the highly talked about films because it starred Sivaji and Kamalahasan. I think it did fairly well in the box office. At the moment I cannot remember the other songs from the film.
This song is a nEyar(NOV) viruppam.

janaganin magaLai (Rojavin Raja)
vinatha & Jack, thanks.
madhu, hmmm... request mAdhiri theriyala. Challenge mAdhiri irukku. I don't have any of those now. I will try to get and post them at a later time.
NOV, Jack & thyagu, those are the two film titles I got from my sources too. I think for now I will leave it blank.
Pick #535
Song: janaganin magaLai
Film: Rojavin Raja
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1976
Great music by MSV. Beautiful lyrics by Kannadasan that tells a story with mythological analogies. Sweet voice of PS. Altogether a classic creation. I know it is a popular song. But I thought once in a while we can indulge in a popular song too.
The film starred Sivaji Ganesan and Vanisri. Probably another sentimental drama with some masala forced into it. One more really good song from the film is "alanggAram kalaiyAtha" a duet by TMS & PS.
