Song: aduthathu rukmani
Movie: shankari
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: Vaali
MD: VKumar
Year : 1984


I was wondering if there are any songs for karthgiai deepam festival. None came to my mind but i then rememebered NeelD sending me shankari songs when i hosted 'bharathikku oru kannamma' from same film
(http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewt...=560392#560392)

I'm not sure if this is karthigai song but it has 'agal viLakkai aetrungadi' line :).
I used to listen to the 'varthaga oLiparappu' in Vividha bharathi everyday after the 'vannachudar' slot@9.15. I remember them airing the commercial for 'shankari'. Todays song and 'bharathikku oru' were played repeatedly between the movie slogans and cast announcements.
Another song from shankari is 'vai pesa theriyadha kaNNe'(PS).

Good to hear Shankari song. PS voice is so sweet in this song. Is this movie Music by V.Kumar? I guess it might be Chandra Boss, if i am not wrong.....pls check.

thanks for the wonderful song ramki

music was by SG i guess

Ramki thankspa. This is the first time I listen to Aduthathu.... Beautiful voice of PS. She maintained the original crystal clear voice evn in mid 80's. That sengamala(o)m is very different. Is it for KR Vijaya? Who is hero?

jack and rajesh, the music is by VKumar. This was his last hit (comparitively) album. He then worked in only one film.

Vel, the song is for saritha. Shankar was one of the heroes.

Pick #428

Song: ezhudhadha paadal ondru
Movie: then sindhudhe vaanam
Singers : TMS, Swarna
Lyrics: Vaali
MD: VKumar
Year : 1975

This is one another film with kamalhassan playing second fiddle to Sivakumar. I remember reading that SK and KH did not get along very well and both vowed not to act with each other.

'then sindhudhe vaanam' had KH, SK, jaichitra and a new face?. I did watch this film but do not remember much. The only scene i remember is 'unnidam mayangugiren' song sequence.

Todays song is picturised on KH and the new(or old) face.

TMS voice can suit for only selected actors and KH is not one of them. TMS voice was showing its age and the skinny KH looked way too young to have such a matured voice.

But the song is a catchy one. The second portion of charanam that starts with 'madal vaazhai' and the remaining sounds very close to same portion of 'ilangaiyin iLamkuyil' song. I believe Pilot premnath came after TSV.

Ramki...neenga ketkaamele kodukkum kodai vallal. I supposed to request this song (Ezhuthatha paadal) today. Enna aacharyam, site ulle ponaal antha paattu than indru host panni irukkinga, neenga mundhithinga...Nandri thalaiva.

Also, i got my previous requered song NAAN MEDHUVAGA, by Saravanan post me iin the Dhool.com.

Anyway....thanks for your effort.

Ramki: aduthathu is a nice song, but the same style of pallavi with dangutakku interludes, gets repeated; should not have been from the great VK. PS as usaul sounds very clear in her words and voice and best suited for Saritha.

Ezhidhadha paadal is for Kamal and Late RaNiChandra (Badrakali fame). I read that RC acted in this movie fully along with BadrakaLi. But in BK, the climax scenes were yet to be shot as she was killed in air crash. So, they went for a dupe actress. One can make out very easily that RC was missing in the climax scenes.

TSV is very nice movie, recently I saw in CD. It seems it ran full-house all 3 weeks but due to release of a MGR movie, this was taken off from Devi Paradise.

JC becoming vedigundu that time itself, it was obvious. But she over shadowed all by her acting including Sivakumar, KH and RC. Iyarkai ezhil konjugindra is a very breezy solo by PS in this film besides the all-time hit Unnidam mayangugirEn (KJY).

In this duet, Swarna is totally a mis-fit, never gelling well with TMS and in turn TMS does not suit Kamal.

I didn't know all these days that this TMS song was for Kamal. I agree with all about TMS and swarna's voice. :)

Ramki -

Ezhudhaadha Paadal Ondru...Eththanai Murai Kaettaalum Thigattaadha Oru Paadal! It has not lost one iota of its charm over the years! Great pick!
