Pick of the Week: Aug 2006 - Sep 2007

In 1972, Sivaji gave super hits films like Raja, Gnana OLi, PattikAdA PattaNamA, Vasantha Maligai. Also a super flop movie Dharmam EngE + Average run films Thava Pudhalvan (it was not a hit, if I am correct) and Needhi.

In TP, colour blindness (OR mAlaikaN nOi?) was the centre of the story and very well plotted. Pandari bai was his mother gave an excellent support.

TP had kalyANi based all-time hit solo of TMS "isai kEttAl puvi asaindhAdum" and English-Thamizh duet "loev is fine darling" by Ajit Singh and LRE besides this Thamzih-Hindi male duet. Surprisingly no song for the heroine KRV, through she appeared in the Isai kEttAl dream song based on ThAnsEn.

Ramki, As you said PBS had good voice even in early 70's. Why no MDs were using him :-(

Did PBS gave voice for Balaji in this song? or someone else from Bollywood?

Ramki

You picked another one that I was thinkig about recently. Great song (despite TMS). I think one of the excellent example how PBS could sail thru even tough phrases without showing a hint of discomfort in his voice.

Is 'kannan koyil paravai' in the swara pick list?

I too like ponnambil more than all other songs in harikrishna and it got more TV time than any other song. I too got it alongwith padaiappa cd only.

The DP song was picturised on Sivaji and Tikkurisi (mallu actor).. Its a potti song..

SN23, i think sivajis character suffers from 'maalai kaN'. I remember watching the 'kingini kinginyene varum' song. He will fall in the middle of the song and the kids will laugh and TMS will start crying :)

RR andha song illaiye en kitte:(

Rajutvs thanks.

Pick #417

Song: iru vizhigaL thirandhadhamma
Movie: chinna muL periya muL
Singers :SJanaki, Jayachandran
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh
Year : 1981

Rajbharath is one of the few directors who handled crime subjects very well. I enjoyed his uchakattam and CMPM too.
CMPM had shanthikrishna, srinath and babyanju. Though SK had the author backed role its baby anju who will steal the show.
I watched CMPM 2 years back in raj tv. I watched the film mainly for todays pick. The song was aired couple of times during the film's short life in the theatres. It caught my attention but the song vanished from the airwaves very soon. So when i got the opportunity to watch the film i was eager to listen to the song again. Unfortunately the song was not shown. Im not sure if the song was not picturised or the channel edited the song :(.
But i was glad the film was interesting. It was also very short. The film had one more solo by SJ 'iravil ore nilavil'.
Until i saw the film i was under the impression that the music was by either IR or GA. The interludes are very IRish. I was surprised to see SGs name in the title.

==> Ramki Sir, I beg to differ regarding interludes. They may resemebles some IRs pieces, but no where IR'ish. However you might have seen the similarity because
a. The starting of the song reminds "Iru Paravaigal Malai" from NMP
b. In 80s and 81s, SG used a lot of Violin interludes and hence this song may resemble some Ir's old pieces
