Pick #137

Song: Lakshmi vandhaaL
Film: Panam peNN paasam
Singers: SPB, SPShailaja
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan?
Music: Shankar Ganesh

"maana ho thum" (KJY), one of very few original songs of BappiLahri is a source of inspiration to 2 songs 'madhanotsavam'(sadhurangam-VK) and todays pick.
While madhanotsavam was a fairly hit song, lakshmi vandhaal did not get many rasigars.
'Panam peNN paasam' was a fairly engrossing film with Muthuraman, saritha, vadivukarasi and vijayababu. I think with this film vadivukarasi started doing mother roles. Muthuraman played a character with shades of grey and saritha played his rebellious daughter. Vadivukarasi played Muthurams paralyzed wife.
'kalaimaamaniye'(VJ,JC) is another good song from PPP.

Hi Ramki !

the story was a popular serial in "Kumudam" by Javar Seetharaman.
though his other story "udal poruL Anandhi" came as a TV serial, the famous "Minnal mazhai mohini", which was filmed with Gemini, Padmini and Vanisree never got completed !

Is there any other song in the movie ? Only these two songs are popular... !!

madhu, paNam peN paasam also came out as a serial (on SUN tv) with Nihalgal Ravi as the father, Richa the daughter and Jaanavi as the mad mom.

Ramki, PPP was fairly a hit movie, I think. May not be a super-hit. MR and Saritha did extremely well.

Lakshmi vandhal was a good well suited song for stage singing. Esp, SPS's himming part. SPS did well but one could see a over-do from SPB's side ??

I think Vadivukkarasi started her mother role in YeNi padigaL itself, which came much before this.

Madhu: UPA by Javar was tried with CVRajendran team with Sivaji, Jayalalitha (wife character) and Usha Nandini (Anandhi). But this also did not hit the screen.

As RR said, PPP serial in TV was a xerox copy of the PPP movie. Edha copy pannaradhu-nnu oru vevasthayE kidayaadhu :-)

Ramki

Thanks for the nice song (never connected to the "Mano Hai Tu" song. Thanks for the bringing in the connection
a. The songs were very popular in Ilangai Vanoli
b. Ran for 35 days in Trichy in 77/78 which is considered a decent hit in Trichy

Bala

and "lakshmi VandhaaL" itself somehow seems to have inspired "aadhayen bhi hai, mohabbat bhi hai" from Aashiqui, an early 90s Hindi hit :-)

Thank you madhu

SN23 in 'aenipadigaL' vadivu played mother to Haja sheriff. In couple of years she plays mother to saritha..a 'hefty' promotion indeed :))


vijayr good find:). That song is from 'dil hai to manta nahin'(NS is the MD)
I also find similarities betweem Lakshmi vandhaaL and 'devamirtham jeevamritham'(moondru mugam)

Pick #138

http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/sriranjani_ttk.rm

Song: sriranjani en sivaranjani
Film: thambi thanga kambi
Singers: KJYesudoss, Chitra
Lyrics: Vaali
Music: Gangai amaran

Another nice duet by GA and as always sung very well by KJY and KSC. Im not sure if the song is based on sriranjani raagam.

TTk had vijayakanth, rekha, Lakshmi, ramyakrishnan etc. I remember watching this film few years ago on DD. The song picturization is still very fresh in my memories(I had nightmares for so many days..how can i forget it:))

Read ahead Only If you have a strong/brave heart:

In the song both vijaykanth and rekha, dressed as mermaids , with buckets of rosepowder painted on their faces, will keep pouting their lips like the fishes do and they will go kissy kissy on each other cheeks. All these will be shown in close up for painful long torturing 3 minutes.
