The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

Hey everyone,

I recently uploaded this very rare and hit song from the combination of Maestro Ilayaraja - S.P.Balasubramaniam - P.Susheela - S.Janaki. The song is "Naan Oru Ponnoviyam Kanden Ethire" from "Kannil Theriyum Kathaigal". Enjoy everyone!

I will be uploading many more rare and hit Ilayaraja songs over the next few days.

Please share your comments on Youtube! I always find it encouraging when people share their unique take on Maestro's songs! Best wishes!

- Rajesh

For some reason, I was under the impression that "naan oru pEnoviyum" was composed by SG :ashamed:

SG did nAn unna nenechEn, nee enne nenecha.

Yeah, that's the one.

#336 அறைச்ச சந்தனம் மணக்கும் குங்குமம் அழகு நெற்றியிலே
(சின்னத்தம்பி, 1991 )

aRachcha santhanam of Chinnathambi

Sweet composition by rAsA, one of my all-time fav numbers! SPB in top form, lovely themmAngu, terrific arrangements / orchestration and trouble-free lyrics! What more can one ask for? Repeated countless times on drives, this tablA delight!

When I started watching the movie on theater, it was initially boring - almost like a poor rehash of many old movies of R Sundarrajan and I was getting somewhat restless. thooLiyilE was sweet (the KSC version that had P Vasu's son on screen) but the scenes looked too repetitive and were slowly becoming intolerable. Radharavi & co were atrocious as well. Under such conditions, this song was so refreshing on-screen! Remember, I was listening to this number for the first time and rAsA had me in goosebumps and any tolerable thing on-screen would have felt too good (and Prabhu-Kushbu were more than that, at that time). I simply loved the song, scene and suddenly started feeling that I can sit thru the movie :-)

That, probably, was the secret behind the stunning success of this movie! rAsA was a key factor - one has to take into account that TV networks weren't still established much, even though local cable TV fellows showing thirttu-VCR movies were starting up, no satellite channels in Thamizh and no DVDs (or even CDs). So, people had to visit theater to watch the visuals.

There we got to give credit to Prabhu, Kushbu and Vasu - regardless of the overall standard of the movie! The songs were picturized very well. (If someone has opinions otherwise, request to go back a couple of pages and watch pOvOmA youtube! I really see two kids innocently playing - kaN koLLAkkAtchi ayyA! I don't mind being called as "one with kuppai taste" if that's for enjoying pOvOmA video!) So, people thronged to the theaters, IMO, to watch the wonderful visuals for these couple of songs! I'll post more about Prabhu-Kushbu in the next song!

So, this movie had its own positives - even though there had been torturously negative scenes aplenty! (Please don't tell me the movie simply ran for songs - that way ninaivellAm nithyA & nizhalgaL should have been the biggest hits of TF...people adhu reNdaiyum eppadi kadAsinAngannu nyAyamAna manasukaLukku nallAppuriyum).

#337 குயிலப்புடிச்சு கூண்டில் அடைச்சு
(சின்னத்தம்பி, 1991)

kuyilappudichchi kooNdil adachchi of chinnaththambi

SPB pouring out emotions nicely, making this song a winner! Sweet, melodious composition by rAsA that got so much of value add by the ace singer! Ofcourse there are overpowering string sections that can play around with people's hearts - typical rAsA speciality. Now, these two are generally "given" factors - by and large in TFM.

What cannot be so easily taken for granted are the visuals for such wonderful compositions! (Well, in a way my statement is not true - we can generally take it for granted that those will be horrible sodhappals and one has to close eyes:-) ) Surprisingly, Prabhu got me in this song unawares and I was impressed at my first watch! From an appirANi - veLLandhi to an emotional villager, what a sweet transformation! Those who did more "harvesting" of Prabhu, like groucho, may not like this movie but I'm not one of that category :-) I've watched only a few movies that had Prabhu solo hero (or with his dad's support) and he wasn't a big favourite. Actually, among my circles he was made more fun of than enjoyed - at any point of time. I would have possibly told his dad's kuthirai joke to almost every one with whom I've discussed cinema / songs :lol: However, in almost all song scenes of CT, I was terribly impressed.

And so was Kushbu - effortless performance! My wife kept reminding me how she looked like her cousin and that possibly added to her appeal - she was awesome in that movie at that point of time! (Unfortunately, that Kushbu-like-cousin had an untimely death, leaving an one year old child behind :-( that made it even more difficult to forget this movie)...
