I think this song picturised in rainy day where shivaji and major happily coming back to home after remebering childhood days.
I feel something difference in this song and I am not able to express.

PS showed all the feeling in just one humming. Ever green.

Correct Ramesh

Its a rainy evening when NT and Major will be coming back home, joyfully while Oorvasi Saradha & Srikanth will be in love making mood.
MSV has precisely got the situation right & what a variety !
Listen to the words.... Naan sugame , sugame, sugameeeee.....

PS's rendition will be different for every Sugame sugame sugame

The rhythm is a reminiscent of MSV's earlier classics :

1. Naan nandri solven en kangalukku
2. Katru vandhal thalai sayum nanal
3. Kanirandum minna minna

Later MSV used the same rhythm for Naan patta kadan ethanayo boomiyil pirandhu !

Balaji

This one is another ultimate movie of NT. Especially when he try to disclose his identity to sharada . Class acting. Not to mention DEVANNEYE song. MSV/TMS/PS combination. :thumbsup:

RAMESH

thanks for the songs Ramki.
I remember seeing 'Gnana oli ' on Rupavahini several years ago. The only thing i remember of the movie are its 2 immemorable songs.
In one interview I remember Saradha saying that the few movies she acted in Tamil were due to the encouragement (? sibaarisu)she got from Sivaji.
A bad film with good songs with Sivaji & Saradha was Kungumam.(thoongatha kannindru, chinnanj chiriya, poonthotta kavalkara)
Several decades later they acted together in another major flop by name Sarithranayakan.

Premananth,
Nehtiyile is a good song. I will upload it soon(i have not forgotten your other request)

Ramesh
>>I feel something difference in this song and I am not able to express

I too have the same feeling. Another song that evoke such feeling is 'vasanthathil oar naaL' from moondru deivangaL

Mahesh and others, thanks for the details

Pick #326

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kaala_aj.rm

Song: kaalamagaL kaNthirappaL
Movie: anantha jyothi
Singer: PSuseela
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Viswanathan Ramamurthy

There are songs sung for thangachis , there are songs 'about ' akkas, songs for akka and thangais..but how many songs are there sung for just akkas? I can recall only three or four . Todays pick is one of them.
The song , a booster for solitary and sad souls, has excellent lyrics by Kavignar and PS adds her own energy to the powerful lines.
The song is picturised on Devika. She sings it for her kutti brother, played by Kamalhassan.
Unlike the other hits in AJ, this song did not get its share of popularity. It was aired less and not widely remembered as say 'ninaikka therindha manime' or 'poiyile pirandhu' or 'paniyilladha margazhiyaa'.

Ramki : enna oru selection ? kolreenga !

( I heard ... then....ladies used to wear black color blouse with white embroidered flowers around the neck and sleeves like Devika in this film )..

mm.. I think this is the only film with MGR,Devika pair ...

BTW , what are the other akka songs ?
do u know a song sung for brother-in-law ? ( chinna machinan :wink: )

Lovely song maNamEdai. Thanks Ramki.

vasanthaththil Or nAL reminds me of another nice song "janakanin magaLai maNamagaLAga". If I remember correctly there is a song, periyammA singing to a baby, from Vegulippen, "muLLukku rOjA sontham".

moothavaL nee koduthaai vaazhvilE munnEtra (arangEtram)
akka akka nee akka illa (thirumadhi oru vegumathi)

:)

Did you guys notice the counterpoint (instrumental) when PS goes 'kaala magaL' at the very end? A piece that rends my heart..!

For those interested, this song is in Subapantuvarali - the sOga raagam. Another famous PS-MSV-TKR combo song in the same raga is 'unnai naan santhithen'.

Thanks Ramki Sir,
Ungga Response-kkum, rasikka vaittha paattai padaithatharkkum.

kAlamagal - woderful gem by MSV-TKR, KD and PS.

I heard, KD, Thevikavin mel konda mayakkam, intha padathin paadalgalil ethirolithathu endru. Athu MGR-kkuth theriya vara, Thevikavukku athu muthal avar padanggalil no chance.

Innoru vishayamum kelvi patten, ithu maramugamaaga kAmarAjarukku or aNNAavukku (aNNA used to called all as thambi) vidutha, thannambikkai paadal. KD covered-up it by put the word "Chinnaiya" (TF industry called MGR as Chinnavar)

Really it is a motivational song too. Excellent job by MSV-TKR.

"kallirukkum thEraikkellAm karuNai thantha theivam
kaniyirukkum vaNdukkellAm thuNai iruntha theivam
nellukkulle maNiyai neruppinile oLiyai
uLLukkuLLe vaitha theivam unakku illaiya - thambi namakku illaiya"

enna varigal ?!

too have the same feeling. Another song that evoke such feeling is 'vasanthathil oar naaL' from moondru deivangaL

Ramki

if possible please put the song. splendid song and PS at her best.
This film has one more duet spb-ps. MULLIYAA ROJA. :)

ramesh

Ramki Sir,

If i'm not mistaken there is a song in pAlAdai. PS sang for KRVijaya for her akka Padmini, sounds like this:

"PattAdai thottil katta veNum en kaNNukku
paal vaNNa changgu kolla veNum.... something like that.

nice song too. Never host yet.

Ramki (howau AaLT :-)). KAlamagaL kaNthirappAL song will be one of the top 10 sOha rasa paadalgaL. I mean kEtpadharkku. But if you watch movie, it won't have the same strong effect, may be due to Devika's miga midhamAna expression.

The shades of kaalamagaL kaNthirappAL do exist in another solo of PS "punnagaiyil poo pookkum thirumagaLe". This for the aNNi (or manni) character Padmini in the film ThirumagaL. She sings this for a function for her naththanAr Lakshmi. If my opinion about similarity is true, I wonder how the MD (MSV here too ???) used the sOha raagam "SubapanthuvarALi" for a happy mood. That is music :-)

Different opinion about MaNamEdai song. PS is great in this. No need to add to what Naaz said about her apt seductive expression. But Saradha? That too with Srikanth. Can't digest the her in drenched dress and over-do sexual expression. :oops: Huuu may be the effect of Thulabaram? :cry:

Ramki, is it not Synthesiser in the background of En rajavin roaj mugam song? I guess not guitar. Simple but powerful tune for a background song. PS voice too. Crystal clear.
Not only in en rajavin, but in other 2 songs Manamedai & Kalamagal, PSuseelavin kural theLinda neerodai. PaLich :-)

Do you have Endhan ponvanname (PS version)? If yes, please host ASAP. It is for Master Vimal in Nan vazha vaipen.

Ramkiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
naan varaadha time le paaththu ippadi arumaiyaana songs host paNNirukkiye! :)
appaa un magaLai: eppayume sOgam vandhaalO, or even adi pattadhume udane ammaa nu thaan ellaarum solvaanga. but appa un magaLai is a rare song. PS appaa...nu sollum pOdhu manasai sogam pizhinjirum..
maNa mEdai: seductive song with decent lyrics. humming is divine.
picturisation thaan paarkka konjam kashtamaa irukkum..
kaala magaL song andha situation ku avLo sogam thEvaiyaa nu theriyalai. but otherwise, thannambikkai oottum varigaL konda oru song.
all these 3 songs are by kavingar. I don't have to say anything about PS's expression in all these songs. :) Looking forward to the next songs.

innoru akka song:
akka akka akka akkakkaa
aasai aasai aasai vandhuruchchaa .... from kaakum karangaL by PS.

Madhu,
I lied..i remember only one that too might loosely fit
'muthu muthu peNNe mutham tharum kaNNe' (Its a mix of thalattu and akka song :))

Premananth, i do not have the song you mentioned :(

SN23 howau AaLT ?????

Mahesh, i have the PS version. I will host it soon

Ramesh, i will host vasanthathil oru naaL too.

Looks like PS week should be extended :)

Pick #327

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/adiye_as.rm

Song: adiye kaNNammaa
Movie: agni saatchi
Singer: PSuseela
Lyrics: Vaali
MD: MSViswanathan

We remember songs for several reasons..it could be for the singing, lyrics, picturisation, music etc. I remembered and will remember this song for one particular line. It could be an ordinary line for others, but to me this one line could not be illustrated in any better way. Want to know the line? Wait :)


We have songs that appreciate the greatness of wife or sister or love or brother or lover or mother. But there are very few songs that sings the good qualities of a husband. This song is one great example.

She is a emotionally disturbed wife. Hallucinations and violent outbursts are part of her persona.
He is her virtual opposite. Calm, composed and comforting.They compliment each other.

When asked to write abut such a pair, Vaali raises to the occassion and comes out with this great line

endhan kuraiyaavum gunamaaga koNdaar

Is there any simpler way to describe their qualities? I doubt.

The whole song is a treat. Not only it explains the love for her husband but also her possessiveness and pride. PS expresses all these feelings in her voice and makes the song a memorable one.

Ramki : ungalai ella selection committee-kkum thalaivara podalam :thumbsup:

Aaha,

vAli-yin santhak kavi ennammAi inikkuthu?!

I've watsh this movie two weeks ago in Raj TV - Marakka mudiyaatha Tamil Cinema 75.

Woderful performance by Saritha. Sivakumar - the same as in bathrakAli.

Padam Pooravum varum ella kavithaigalume then suvai.

RR: Another great PS-MSV_TKR song in Shubhapantuvarali is
Inda Naadgam" from Paalum Pazhamum with excellent lyrics by KD. Interestingly, the recordede song has one stanza more than what is in the film.
RRA

jn: In my view, KaalamagaL song is out of soham but comes out with yekkam "Namakkum nalla kaalam varaadhaa". The listener will have the same feeling within.

Winner for Nambikkai ootum paadal is Ovvoru pookkaLumE (Chitra).

Ramki, I always thought SJ would be a better choice for Saritha. May be Mookthi poo mElE has influenced me. But I wonder at the equal number of hits of PS for Saritha.

AdiyE kaNNamma song begins with a lifted take-off by PS with a treat of extended humming. Would feel like stretch the hands apart and run across with full of joy and pride. MSV's brain was great and his imagination and innovation were brilliantly demo'd by PS.

This gem and KaNNAna poo maganE as well deserved an award for PS at State or National level. But hard luck. The production crew including KB missed to get recognition for the trusted singer. This is MHO.

Too happy on the possible extension of PS-Week :-)

Howau AaLT: How are you? after a long time :-)

Hi

Nice song, especially the single line specified by Ramki was out of the world, because entire story of the film told in single line. GREAT VALLI SIR.

Prelude and starting somehow resembles MALLAI RANI MUNDHANAI SARIA SARIA from ORAYE VANAM ORAYE BHOOMI. :?

ramesh

Did you guys notice the counterpoint (instrumental) when PS goes 'kaala magaL' at the very end? A piece that rends my heart..!

Hi
I think you are mentioning flute bit before the humming. nice &surpise one at the end.

ramesh

manamedai is one of the best by PS, I feel. another seductive song, i like by her is neeradum pozhuthellaam nee mattum.
Agni saatchi - no words to describe. kathai, thiraikathai, paadalgal, direction,singers, actors ellaamae super.

all the PS songs shared so far are treat ..

Vaali's lyrics & poems in Agni saatchi are amazing

thanks ramki. :) I have been looking for this song for a long time. Forgot to ask you, though..:)
The way PS sings kaNNammaa in the first line ... romba nallaarukku.
The other song of PS and SPB with vaali's admirable lyrics is also my favourite... vanakkam mudhal variyai ezhudhum mun...

It is hard to fit hits of any singer, especially PS, in a week's time. Good to know that you are considering an extension. :)

Pick #328

Song: hey thendrale
Movie: nenjathai kiLLathe
Singer: PSuseela
Lyrics: Gangai Amaran
MD: iLaiayraja

No listing of PS solos can be complete without this haunting solo. One of her bests under IR's music. The grand orchestration , the haunting voice and the gentle lyrics makes the melody sweeter but not thigattara sweet.

Couple of weeks ago, NeelD and RR were discussing why nowdays there are not many Female solos for background songs. Here is an example for why we need more of them and hopefully by a voice as pleasant as susheela's

gr8 song again.. oru melliyo sogam izhayodum .. kuralil . kondu vandhavar suseela

Ungalukku kannan oru kai kuzandhai & chella pillai saravanan pidikatha !

Hello Ramki: I also requested the PS version of endhan pon vanname :-)

Adiye kannamma is musical feast. I love the style with innocence and childish possesivness while singing "thara matten pOdiiii". Lovely man.
Sarita was at her best at this piece and thru-out the film.

Ye thendrale is a good song no doubt but the creative gem Paruvame, burried this as well as other duet.
