Song: varavendum maharajan
Film: pagadai pannirandu
Singers: PSuseela, SPB
Lyrics: ?
Music: Chakravarthi


Thanks to RC for sending this song. This is a nice duet from the dubba kamalhassan-sripriya film. I think the film is one of the few duds this duo acted together like oh mariah, mangaLa vaadhiyam, ram lakshman etc.
'kodeewaran magaL', 'oonjalaadum uravugaL, 'mudisooda mannan' are some of the movies TeluguFM MD chakravarthi did and almost all of them had atleast one good song.

A nice song by the duo. Heard the song for the first time a couple of years back.

ramki : "oh mariah" illai, its "maria, my darling" . maria, my darling song irunthaal POWil host seiyungal

Ramki

'mudisooda mannan' had that wonderful 'Thodangum Thodarum pudu ulagam'. I think the MD was Sathyam not Chakravarthi

Hi Ramki !

"oonjaladum uravugal" - is it the remake of malayalam film "katrathe kilikoodu" ? with Sivakumar and Srividhya in lead role ? R u sure abt the MD ?

Hi, am not sure about the Mal original of Oonjalaadum uravugal. But am sure about OU's music director "dangu takku" Chakravarthi. OU was shot in Telugu as well Tamil. Suresh and Sridurga (Kannada Malaasree's name in Tamil) also acted in the movie, as youth pair. There is a great Solo by PS accopanied by (Maragadha) VeeNai, for Srividya (VeeNai enadhu kuzhandhai.. madi meedhu naan vaiththu thalaattuvEn...). Veru nice song.

Ramki: Thanksma for this Pagadai duet song. It is worth listening. First time kEtkirEn :-)

Sometime ago we talked about the movie Ragupathy Raghava Rajaram. This weeks Anandha Vikatan has an interview with Jayachandran who acted in this movie. (I thought it was Singer Jayachandran)

Mani thanks :) its ofcourse 'mariah my darling' .


Balaji i always thought 'MM' was by chakravarthi. But its hard to differentiate between chakri and sathyams songs.

Madhu yes its a remake of kaathrathe kiLikoodu. It had jaishankar,srividhya, suresh and sridurga. The film was very good and jaishankar's acting was a treat to watch. I think soman did this role in Malayalam. If i remember right, Revathi played the role of sridurga.

RC thanks for the link.

Pick #136

Song: veedu thedi vandhadhu
Film: peNNin vaazhkai
Singers: PSuseela, Jaichandran
Lyrics: Vaali?
Music: GKVenkatesh


First my apologies for the poor audio quality. This was the best i could do with the file i had.

This is a beautiful annan-thangai song by GKV. This song reminds me 'poovile medai naan podavaa', not that there are any similarities between these two other than the singers, but the melody and the lyrics gives the same feel.
'peNNin vaazhkai' had Sudhakar, sumathi, Rathi agnihotri, aruna etc. This song is picturized on sudhakar and sumathi. I think this is a telugu remake and the original was directed by vijayanirmala.
Another good song from PV is 'maasi maasam muhurtha neram' (PS,JC).

Hi Ramki..

its a very nice song ! I still remember the advt. in Vivid Bharathi..
"idhu oru peNNin vazhkai alla.. moonRu peNgaLin vazhkai"

and there is one more nice song "janakan pon mAne" by SPB and PS.

Ramki,

PV had 3 JC-PS duets. POW + Maasi Maadham + "Malligai poovil indru vandhadOr thendral indru...". Malligai duet is also very sweet.
kEtkaradhukku mattum thaan. pAkkaradhukku illai (Sudhakar with Rathi Kashtam :roll: )
