Even since i was a kid, what I loved most about this song was the stanzas. I love the way the violins abruptly get cut towards the end of the stanza, creating a superb effect.

(தாவணிக்கனவுகள், 1984 , ஜானகியுடன்)
SPB-SJ duet in the 'andhi mazhai' format, this time for KBR. mridhangam / flute / strings and thooval of guitar here and there. Though it didn't become as popular as 'andhi mazhai' or today remembered by many to be in that family, it did have its glory when arrived. My neighbor in the hostel, who was a KBR fan, kept humming -rather shouting in his "sweet" voice- this song quite often. (He was also in the "tour" and IIRC the prime mover in making us go to dAvaNi in B'lore). Some of us classmates later had a chance to visit his home and stayed there for a couple of days and were wondering, like, "how come he alone is so weird when his dad / mum / sis all seemed so normal" :lol: Well, he ultimately ended up working for ITI (i.e. for a few years), even finding his wife in the same workplace, before getting converted into a full-blown-Rajini-fan :-)
Per my memory, the whole stay during the trip was in a dormitary at Malleswaram with no access to any worthwhile music. Well, most didn't care as the excitement of peNkaLoor was good enough but I felt huge amount of dissatisfaction. (Not just the lack of music, the other part too wasn't that exciting - as none cared to make "eye contact" which made the city very "uncool" in my dictionary :wink:).
Well, both were to change during the visit to Mysore.
On the way to Mysore, the bus got picked on by RTO (no proper papers :shock:, no license for driver :shock:) and we wasted an hour on the road. Finally, the lecturer did the usual thingy of "making the official rich" and the trip went on.
It was an educating experience that dussehra is such a big thing in Mysore, with the whole city in a festival mood and the visit to art gallery and palace left us in complete astonishment! Then in the evening, we were in KRS and started the walk on the dam to go to the garden. Then followed a couple of feverish hours!
Though a 'nalla paiyan' till coming to college, around this time I was simply too fond of the 'eye-eye' thingy and Bangalore was so dull as I mentioned. Nobody seemed to care.
Ofcourse, it was dry in the college and we had to bike to Kailasapuram aka BHEL township for any eye-eye. There was an allegation those days that a Malayali head of BHEL brought a lot of Malayalees into the boiler plant. The neighboring RECTians - a male-only-college till my batch - were only too happy with that breezy fact. Well, even when girls started getting admission into the college, starting with our junior batch, the standard joke below was 99% applicable :
Question : Whom will you embrace if you enter a room and spot the following people:
a) mukamoodi vEdhALar b) irumbukkai mAyAvi c) azhagAna engg girl and d) azhagillAtha engg girl
Answer : a), b), c) are fictional / mirage and only d) is real.
Well, among the extremely big crowd of people at Brindavan - almost like many lines of ants walking on top of the K R Sagar dam, there was this khubsoorat ladki with big eyes who was kind enough and made my day.
Me (thinking) : அட, அட, என்ன அழகான கண்கள் ...எவ்வளவு நேரம் பார்த்தாலும் ஆசை தீராதே...
She (possibly thinking) : ஐயோ பாவம், பொண்ணுங்களையே பாத்ததில்லை போல இருக்கு...காசா பணமா, கொஞ்சம் வீசி விடுவோம் பார்வையை...
My classmate (not thinking, shouting) : டேய், அந்தப்பொண்ணோட அப்பனோ அண்ணனோ ஒன்னய அடிச்சு ஒதைக்காம இன்னைக்கு நாம திரும்பப்போறதில்லை!
Well, the long walk that seemed too short took us to the new novelty - "dancing fountain" - which our lecturer informed as a Philips sponsored microprocessor controlled system. We were absolutely, absolutely thrilled at the fantastic music, phenomenal light effects and the water flow control! Totally mesmerized for the whole time! While the music -western instrumental - was terrific, my mind was also comparing with some of the rAsA interludes.
With a very mild drizzle, it was an ultimate joyous experience, an evening one would never forget in life!
#170 மாமோய், மாமோய் கள்ளுக்கடை மறந்திடுங்கோ
(தாவணிக்கனவுகள், 1984)
During all school days, though there was total prohibition in TN, by some means or other liquor seemed to be available. I clearly remember a co-worker of my father having such a big problem with alcohol and frequently hitting his wife / children, breaking things at home, all inside the school campus. I used to wonder where he got the liquor from :roll: Well, he managed somehow, not paying a dime to family but harassing them - while his poor wife struggled somehow to raise the six children. (andha akkAvappAkkavE pAvamA irukkum...her husband was a teacher in the school but she had to take up menial jobs such as washing vessels in the school hostel to feed her kids).
So, there were songs at all times to encourage people "not to drink". Apart from the NSK number in nalla thambi which my dad had in vinyl and got played frequently at home, the IOKS poppisaippAdal 'kaLLukkadai pakkam pOgAthE, kAlaippidiththu kenjukiREn' was a big favourite with me :-) (Ceylon Manohar?)
By the time I was in college, however, MGR opened out 'IMFL' in the state (with a justification of "required to continue the saththuNavu"), and wine shops started to flourish. In that context, it was kind of ironical for KBR to make a MGR-pugazh-pAdum movie but include this mAmOi song :confused: Well, he probably wanted to state his personal opinion on liquor, which is definitely appreciable!
A simple / catchy tune with typical instruments where IR didn't stretch too much. Not a huge hit song but had its own street time thanks to the popularity of KBR. SPB, as usual, excels with his versatility! Possibly the only KBR movie where all four songs were sung by SPB!
#171 நம்ம முதலாளி, நல்ல முதலாளி
(நல்லவனுக்கு நல்லவன், 1984 , மலேசியா வாசுதேவனுடன்)
As mentioned sometime back, this song did have SPB but I missed out :oops: Possibly because this wasn't a big favourite with me when arrived and neither do I hear it that much anymore. SPB only sings a couple of lines in each saraNam (for Rajini, so a correction there again, SPB did sing for him in the movie and it was not a 100% KJY show). It was a needed song however, with Karthik doing a role similar to what Gemini did in pAsamalar.
Typical dappAnguththu, with IR's standard array of instruments and the not-so-rich-chorus. However, the not-so-regular combo of MV-SPB makes this an interesting song. Also the fact that this was a patti-thotti hit earns its place in this compilation :-)
App,
Hilarious posts on Sengamalam sirikkuthu and Vaanam Niram Maarum. Lovely! I too concur and experience what all you have said. Especially that fingerbowl thingy, I too had the same experience :lol: "peNkaloor", "full-blown rajini fan", "making the official rich" :lol: Thorougly enjoying your posts!
App in full blast :clap: :notworthy: Well done Sir, well done!
#172 என் வாழ்விலே வரும் அன்பே வா
(தம்பிக்கு எந்த ஊரு, 1984 )
A song often talked about in the hub, for the wrong reasons. (Why does this sound like 'poongARRu puthithAnadhu', did Raja recycle / copy his own song, why the second interlude is very similar to moonRam piRai song etc). Well, by now, the reason had been told many times.
Still, repeat once more as mun jAmeen : BM made moonRam piRai as Sadma in Hindi with the same Kamal / Sridevi / Ilayaraja. While he retained the melody of the sweet kaNNE kalaimAnE (orchestration too downgraded only marginally), the phenomenal poongARRu got murdered as 'yEh zindagi' in Hindi. Much inferior melody (IMO) and heavily downgraded orchestration (IMSO) made sure that IR lost a golden opportunity to showcase his terrific "sounds" north of Vindhyas. People there had to wait till 1992 for another wizard who was smart and didn't mess up.
That watered down 'yEh zindagi' made its appearance in Thamizh later on as 'en vAzhvilE varum anbE vA' with SPB doing the singing (with the orchestration track as "bought-out" item). It's interesting in one way that a Kamal song got reused by Rajini. The rAsA / SPB / Rajini factor, as well as the super hit status of the movie, made sure that this not-so-impressive number became a big hit in TN. And so, getting its place in this thread compilation as well.
I remember watching this comedy movie in one of those theaters in the "one-way-road" that runs parallel to west boulevard road in Trichy (Raja / Palace / Jupiter - one of them).
nanRi, V_S ji:-)
Another song - and I'll be up to date in the "one-number-a-day" count :-)
And that one is going to be a real special song from TEO!
#173 காதலின் தீபம் ஒன்று ஏற்றினாளே என் நெஞ்சில்
(தம்பிக்கு எந்த ஊரு, 1984 )
Perhaps the most melodious SPB-IR song for Rajinikanth. அப்படியே அனுபவிச்சு அனுபவிச்சுப் பாடி இருப்பார் பாலு. There seems to be a female version also but I never paid much attention to this, even tho' SJ has sung it :shock:. Such is the endearing quality of the SPB version - unparallelled! We often hear the cliche 'eththanai muRai kEttAlum alukkAtha pAdal'. Well, this song is a perfect fit for that phrase!
No question about its hit status - despite being a soft melody and dreamy orchestration, this song got played all over TN - in every possible media. It was always a pleasure to listen to this number in buses - whether it was while in Trichy or later on in Cbe or in any other trip inside TN, it used to place one instantly in a dream world :-) Even at times when I travelled standing - that too for many hours, such songs will make sure that I was absolutely refreshed at the end of the journey, lively and kicking!
If not to a dreamy place, at the minimum, it takes you to the Ooty botonical garden (or a similar lovely place that you've been and permanently etched in memory) accompanied by a caressing breeze and a sweet, lovely fragrance! Reminding one of as many pleasant memories in life as anyone can count - it's a pure bliss song!
Must have been done by rAsA and SPB in a time moment when they were extremely delighted and were totally having peace of mind with absolutely no disquieting thoughts, in complete mirth...Well, I can go on and on but still can't justify how this marvel came into existence!
One has to mention about the girl who got the unjust muththirai of 'rAsi illAtha nadikai'. Such a talented actress with fantastic eyes, didn't click well in a couple of KH movies (and even in some RK movies) but did hit it big with thillu mullu and TEO. Interestingly, she was among the few actresses who got fame across multiple fields for a longer time period (though not of Sridevi / Jayapradha proportions). Rajaparvai / thillumullu were 1981 movies and she was quite active thru out the 80's with a sterling role in that 1989 classic, vadakkan veeragAtha. (Also, who can forget the brief but interesting role in Rajini's first Hindi movie - andhA kAnoon - IIRC, AB asks her for a kiss in that song 'rOtE rOtE hasnA seekhO')...
I vehmently condemn the slandering against "yeh zindagi" - that one is an everlasting gem...Quote:

Breathtaking posts App :notworthy: Loved your writeup about the eye-to-eye thingy (aka "looku vidaradhu") which lost its charm after coming to the US as it's kind of common to look and greet strangers here :smile: KRS dam and Brindavan are lovely places, brings back lots of good memories for me.
Aye Zindagi Gale Lagale - Everlasting composition, as Jai said. The prelude violins, second interlude violins, flute and santoor just gently caress our heart. Most of all the tune and singing. Silky smooth tune. Suresh Wadkar's voice perfectly suits this composition, compared to our dear SPB. His voice is more softer than SPB which is apt.
Please watch these links. See how the judges and audience are enjoying the composition.
The best comment by the second judge (from 3:13). This song has speed, handwork, emotion, sangathis, everything. The way the judge finishes his comment is just stunning!
Unless you lose yourself, you cannot become this song.

This song has been chosen for singing after 25 years. Still they remember this song. Please remember Maestro has only composed handful of Hindi (original) songs and they remember everyone of them, that's the beauty!
Whoever knows Maestro Ilaiyaraaja in North, they know this song.

And Yeh Zindagi is one of those songs which doesnt carry the southie-ness that most North Indians find in Ilaiyaraaja's music. I know it is difficult to choose the best out of poongaatru and yeh zindagi but on any day, i wouldnt ignore yeh zindagi.. it carried the 'breeziness' in the mood - which is absent in Poongaatru, although Poongaatru has its own beauty.
You must be kidding, surely :shock:Quote:

Recently, a Singapore band did a hard rock cover of this song. That accentuated what one already knew but somehow didn't appreciate/realize - this is a song bursting with the spirit of rock (guitar and effects throughout the song, the staccato pallavi phrases pausing for the guitars, could have lent itself as easily to some thundering drum work but that's not what this song wants) and yet this works out as a simple heart-touching melody. And the interludes, every moment is packed with turns and surprises. Genius.
Some songs have a certain quality to them that make it one-of-a-kind. In a way, such songs also assume a landmark status, like someone decided to make dogears in the history of music.
Poongatru is one such songs, IMO. I can't think of any other song before this that sounded anything close to this style, for such is the innovation in the usage of the bass, violins and rhythms in this one. It was then, like a new dimension.
More than a decade later came another one. Thee thee thithikkum thee (thiruda thiruda). Again, completely new design, new dimension.
Yeh Zindagi, to me, while it doesn't quite fit the landmark category, is still an awesome composition. Moodrampirai is among Raaja's best works, ever. Sadma, already weighed down with this legacy, is severly underrated (only in the hub, mostly). Yeh hava, Yeh zindagi et al chanceless guitar and bass marvels. Surely a standout of sorts in the Hindi film music scene then.
I am comparing the mood difference in both the songs. Aye Zindagi was engaging, "more" through its tune. Poongatru is more about the overall execution that is baffling. It is the orchestration and the "ahead of its time"-ness that amazes. No wonder that people in fusion bands still try to do cover versions, by jamming on this number. Aye Zindagi is that "apt for morning/evening walk" kind of song. Poongatru makes us play guitar in the air...and even would let us fancy about playing the song on guitar one day. Aye Zindagi makes us feel the freshness and warmth of the composition. I hope I am articulating well enough to explain the mood-difference between both and why both are unique in their own way. Whats in One.. is not in the other. (a common interlude not withstanding, now thats genius)Quote:

And guess what, I remember watching Nallavanukku nallavan on TV, as a little kid and the song that stayed with me for many years after that was Namma modhalAli! Back then, I had no idea about music/composer/singer et al, but the catchiness of the song would keep me humming it. Hell, I like the song even now!
There is some convenience Raaja had in "Yeh Zindagi" that he did not have in poongaatru - it is the language.Quote:

This is one reason, why a rock song in thamizh is near to impossible (you can bring in some rock elements - but the language will not bend itself for music - period). That is the difference between yeh zindagi and poongaatru. Raaja uses the relative freedom and does some freewheeling which he was not allowed to do in Thamizh version - finally it ends up sitting well on both the songs - the only odd one is "En vaazhvile" - that song ends up like Mohinder amarnath asked for a second run by dileep vengsarkar only to end up stranded - Run Out... no fault of his.. :-(
nanRi rajkumarc & KV :-) I'm glad if the posts rekindled some of your own childhood / youthhood memories :-)
jaiganes,
poRuththaruLka :oops:
poongARRu made such a strong impression in me in that age that it was so irritating to see it getting replaced with something else, however good it could have been. (It was almost like a personal rejection). South or north, I strongly feel there was no need to replace it. (My northie collegemates were in astonishment when poongARRu appeared in 1982).
Which is why the bias ...kani iruppak kAy kavarndha BM'kku oru kuttu. 24 carat irundhum kalyANi covering thAn vENum apdeennu adam pidichcha kuzhappavAthi yArunnu theriyalai.
Possibly I would have liked the 'irumbAka ninaiththEnE / karumbAka iniththAyE' song had it appeared as just another number in a TF, with no sadmA tag:-)
That was probably the problem...me not fit :-)Quote:

#174 இனி வரும் காலம் மாறலாம் நம் காதல் மாறுமா?
(வாழ்க்கை, 1984 , வாணி ஜெயராமுடன்)
Very sweet number - difficult to do bathroom singing because of the alukkal kulukkals - by SPB-VJ pair for a Sivaji movie that featured "narai mudi ambi chEchi" as his jOdi. (That is, as per posters. I didn't have a chance to see this movie, supposedly remake of a Hindi hit...did the Hindi one have Sanjeev Kumar? The Thamizh movie was also a big success I think).
There was another vAzhkkai in 1949 *ing why-jayanthi , with the song 'eNNi eNNippArkka manam inbam koNdAduthE' and this was another case of reuse of title for a Sivaji movie, like uththama puththiran. So, Dhanush doing a comedy as "uththama puththiran (i.e.#3) " is justified :wink: Ofcourse, Plum may not agree :-)
Those who watched the movie please confirm whether this song was picturized on NT. However, it won't be a surprise as SPB was singing for NT right from the beginning of his career. Perhaps the longest singing career which also covers star actors of multiple generations. MGR-Sivaji to Kamal-Rajini to the boys of 90's and the boys of new millennium! innum adhE iLamai, vaseegaram, thudippu! Going by his TV shows, he is still the best in the business - even though current TFMDs seem to have less use of him. Well, it's TFM's loss and not SPB's.
The orchestration for the song was one of IR's signature stuff. Though that style was used often, especially in the 80's, it was never boring. Surprised to see that this movie didn't have a single SJ number - at the peak of her career, when IR seemed to have recordings for her almost every day:-)
I used to listen to my favorite sublime mood compositions in my walkman while taking my son for a stroll at Sampige road and neighbourhood , vegetable market, chat corners, inhaling the fragrances of poo malaigal, kumkum vaassanaigal ...(....during mid 90s) Heaven on Earth. Some day , We are returning back, settling at Malleswaram, B'lore or Alwarpet, Chennai கஸ்தூரி ரங்கன் சாலை....ஒரு நாள் நான் திரும்பி வந்துடுவேன் :-D

And coming to the year you are covering, you did a sudden jump and that too in reverse order. From Sep '84 Dhavani Kanavugal to April '84 Vaazhkai and Thambikku Endha Ooru. The last two were fabulous.
Vaazhkai was remade from Avatar that had Rajesh Khanna in the lead. There was a big tussle between Balajee and Chitra Lakshmanan for buying the Tamil rights of this movie and of course both had NT in mind. For once Balajee lost out and he had to contend with getting the Malayalam rights. He made the Malayalam film with Madhu in the lead with the movie titled Jeevitham. Balajee in fact made the film in quick time and released it on his customary date of Jan 26th of 1984, pre-empting the release of Tamil version which hit the screens on April 14th. He in fact managed to screen the movie in Chennai, Coimbatore etc with the English tag line of Life but it couldn't make inroads.
Since Chitra Lakshmanan the PRO of the irandam Travancore sisters produced the movie, Ambika fulfilled her desire of becoming the heroine of NT. Yes, this song was picturised on NT. Well though CVR couldn't recreate the magic of the old, in the humming before the final charanam, the one bit where NT with a big coolers would swerve to his right and do a majestic fast walk with the perfect lip sync made the day for us. The Opening show on April 14th at Madurai Madhu theatre reverberated during this song. This was a 100 day movie in Tamil also.
While talking about Thambikku Endha Ooru and Kaadhalin Deepam Ondru song, the two things that would always come to my mind are the Rajini's slow and composed walk with the hands tucked in his pant pockets and the shirt that he wore. If you cared to check it was a combination of two cloths stitched like a T-shirt. During those days this type of shirts getting stitched like a Tee were used to be called Half -Open shirts. Here what Rajini wore had the two sleeves, collar and the back side of the shirt in blue and the front portion covering the torso would be in white.We had a tailor friend to whom we would demand all sorts of "designer shirts" and he used to do it without any issues. Two of my friends, hard core Rajini Fans bought two separate shirt material in Navy blue colour and white and got it stitched like what Rajini had done in the movie. They had worn this on numerous occasions and it used to create a buzz around them!
Your post had taken me to that release day of April 20th of 1984 when I watched it in Natana theatre in Madurai. Nostalgic!
Thanks for that.
Regards
Good you choose to write about Madhavi and Oru Vadakkan Veera Gadha. And that brings to my mind Chandana Lekha sugandham, a beautiful Bombay Ravi melody.
Thank you Murali sir for your kind words!
I'm thrilled that these layman posts could evoke some nostalgia in you, the acknowledged encyclopaedia of the hub!
And, as usual, you do have and provided more background info on these films :-) Thank you so much!

adhu sari, where is the thread-starter Param?
ALaiyE kANOm :roll:
Murali Sir,
Thank you for posting very useful information about Vaazhkai. My favorite film those days. Very interesting to read your post on Rajini's T-shirt trend. Yes, totally with you. Those days may be because of few heroes, people used to follow their costumes, hair style. I don't know still people follow this trend from today's heroes. Even I remember wearing the bell-bottom pants and tight shirt like Kamal. Also remember wearing a shirt stitched with two different colors (horizontally), but with round neck and full hand without hand buttons. Not sure who's style was that. It's all a matter of pride then.
Yes, App is bringing back all golden memories through his posts.
About Madhavi, we always used to comment, that whenever she acts with Rajini, it will become hit, but whenever she acts with Kamal it will become a flop (except Kakki sattai, but she was not the main heroine). Friends used to figure it out even before the release.
But one thing I am amazed totally about how do you even remember the day you saw the picture! :notworthy:
All credit to you and your non-tiring effort sir! Speechless! Big Salute:notworthy:Quote:
