yaa I have seen only few mins of the movie :)
Thank you Nithya
FM you didnot miss much. Suman was totaaly unbearable and Radhika was highly irritating with her supposedly 'mazhalai' thamizh. Prathap was his usual self.
There is also a telugu version of IK with chiranjeevi and saritha in the lead.

Song: malai naattu machaane
Film: solaikuyil
Singer: Chitra
Lyrics: vairamuthu?
Music: Murari
Its a pity TF did not recognize the talents of MDs like Murari, Balabharathi, Devendran etc. 'solaikuyil' is the only film i know that had music by Murari.
'vasantha poonkaatre', 'aerikarai orathile' are other listen-worthy numbers in solaikuyil.
sOlai kuyil nenjukuLLe by Chitra is another number in solaikuyil worth listening. The only film in which Ragini acted before becoming Mrs Karthik.
Nitya, u think like me. One of my top 20 favorite albums, more or less 3 songs of Ilamai Kolam (barring Sridevi En, i really don't enjoy most of IR' pure classical songs, except for some super extraordinary ones like Naan Oru Ponnoviyum Kanden, Neelakuyile Unnodu Naan, Mayilaadum Thoppil, Poo Malarnthida) typified the "enigma" of IR and to what levels IR alone took it in the golden era of music all over the world. I would say the magic of 70s all can be experienced in those rare IR' songs played in radio ceylon in the late 70s, especially that of Ilamai Kolam, all songs of which was aired as if they had to do it ceaselessly.Quote:

malai nattu machchane was for kuyili, if I remember correctly.
kottunga ketti melam ketkattum ettu oorum
oththunga naathasawaram amman ther aadi vaarum
is also a nice song from the movie.
Murari performed well as MD in this film and he went unnoticed.
I believe solaikuyil songs were regularly played in ceylon radio. Songs are pretty decent.
RC,yvsmani thanks for the details.
FM solaikuyil songs were famous in vividhbharathis too

Song: selvame ore mugam
Film: amarakaaviyam
Singer: TMS
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
Another Amitabh-Rakhee original and another bad, very bad remake. Not that the original 'Muqaddar ka sikandar' was a masterpiece but the presence of Rekha, amitabh, vinodh khanna etc made it watchable. Heavily bloated sivaji carrying 60+ kg belly was no match to the suave and charismatic amitabh. The presence of young stalwarts like Madhavi made sivaji look even older. Why such a great actor wasted his talents by taking these roles will always remain a mystery.
Original had music by Kalyanji-anandji . 'oh saathire' (The original of todays pick) is one of my top 10 Kishore kumar favorites.
MSV came up with a equally powerful version and TMS sings it with his own elan. This was the time when other singers were chosen to playback for sivaji. With this song TMS proves again that he will always be the apt voice for nadigar thilagam. There is a weak version of the same song sung by SPShaija.
I still remembered the day watched the movie on the very first day. There was a very big fight between me and friend to go for this movie, he was suggesting to go for 'Mouna Geethangal' but i convinced him somewhat and went to this 'painful' movie. Please don't ask me what was happend to me by the end the movie !
But this particular song was a beautiful a masterpiece by MSV and TMS.
