sErthukkOnga..

Ungal opinion about MDs singing , naanum vazhi mozhigiren Ramki.
I used to feel more like this with IR.Of course there are exceptions .
Of MSV's songs my favourite are
1) Unakenna kuraichal-Velli vizha
2)Oro Oasai indri -Paritchaiku neramachu
3) enakoru kadhali-muthana muthalavo
the last one is an excellent duet with SPB

Thanks everyone


Mahesh, 'oru osaiyindri' was sung by JC.

JN i did not plan to make this a soga week but since you mentioned i will continue with another philosophical song :)

Pick #409

Song: annaiyin madiyil
Movie: Devi
Singer :TMS
Lyrics: Palladam Maanikkam
MD: V.Dakshinamurthy
Year : ?


The passage of life described in very few lines. Other than kaNNadasan, not many as witten such hard hitting lines. I'm not famil iarwith Palladam Maanikkam's other works but he should be a talented poet who was not utilised well by our filmwallahs.

The lines

'thaanendra aanavathil naan
naanenum ahangaaram
pesiyavar indru ponadhenge'

will hold true for many.

Who are the actors in Devi? Is it a malayalam remake by any chance? Any other good song from Devi?

Sorry Ramki,konjam confuse ayitaen.(effect of night shifts)

Very sad on Srividya's demise. Wonderful artiste.. What a conveying eyes!! Still remember the climax scene of Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai!! the scenes in Sollathaan Ninaikkiraen!! the climax song of Aboorva Raagangal when she realises that her husband has come.. Oh!! what a pair of eyes.. of course thalapathi and other movies are there.. but these come readily come to my mind.. Of course she had more challenging roles in malayalam movies and she did full justice to them..

Pick #410

Song: megam thiraLudhadi
Movie: thaNNeer thaNNeer
Singers :SJanaki, Malaysia Vasudevan (and ?)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1981

'Thanneer thanneer' was a landmark film in Indian cinema. KB took a documentary genre subject and made it appealing to everyone.
Saritha effortlessly carried the entire film on her heavy shoulders and gave an award worthy performance(but she lost it to smitha patil(chakra)).
The film also brought recognition to Radharavi, who was introduced by KB in Manmadha leelai.

The film had only 2 full songs 'kaNNaana poomagane' and todays pick.
A trace of dark cloud, a ray of hope brings smile to their parched lips, brings song in their thirsty hearts. They bring out their drums and urumis . But the sounds and noises scares the clouds and chases them away.

When i watched Lagaan, i was surprised with the Lagaan's first song which was very familar to 'megam thiraludhai' 's concept and excution.
It was too close to be a conincidence.

Regarding SJ-MV combo, I grew up with their songs. The late 70s had so many good songs in their combination that it became part of my childhood. This week i plan to host some of their songs. If you have a favorite , let me know(if you can please avoid popular songs). I will host it if i have it.


I have few songs in mind but i would like to hear your preferences.

Ramki: Thanks for the "Megam.." song. One of my MV-SJ favorites is "Malagale.." supposedly from Kizhakke Pogum Rayil.
RRA

What an apt song for this season.
' SITUATIONAL' songsil ungalai adikka mudiyadhu. :)
There is one more song in TT sung by MSV.I dont remember the song , but its a background song when the villagers try to divert water by digging a vaikal from a river/ waterfall to their village.Saritha was very good in this movie.I think she also missed the national award for achamillai achamillai.
some suggestions for MSV /SJ week.
1) Karumbu vil - malargalile aradhani ( i used to confuse this song with kizhakae pogum rayil song.)
2)Magane magane- malligai poovukkul
3)Magane magane-madhu malargale
4) idhayathil or idam- kaalangal ( have a doubt you have already hosted)
5) sattam en kaiyil- aazhakadalil

nee illatha pothu engum nenjam can be featured

saritha, KB ivargalai patri solla vaarthaigal illai ennidam. MSV's early 80s best filmsil idhuvum ondru. who can forget 'kannanana poo magane kannurangu sooriyane'
