Yes, definitely, because heard this song so many times, but this word happens for a fraction of second, so it is very easy to escape our ears, but their 'thoondil' is so powerful that they caught this. :smile:

I think the reason for Sivaji's bell bottoms and wigs must have been the fact that this was a Telugu movie remake. Those days bell bottoms and fancy wigs for people like Satyanarayana, Tyagaraju and other villains was the order of the day. The hero's also wore such ridiculous costumes while the parents wore dhotis and 'kadhar' jibbas. IIRC, the Telugu original was a Krishnam Raju movie titled 'Kathula Ratiah'.

Thanks Suresh, that sort of brightens up my day a bit...like his costume :lol2:

It's surprising to hear SPB singing out of sruthi, but I hear off-key when he sings 'Pon' in 'Pon Vannangal', but it sounds so due to some recording error, it sounds little low in volume during that word. But it's amazing that they find these nuances.

We were talking about the same song 'Engenge sellum'. Please refer to post#558 and the comments by MS (from archives) where he mentions about this.

From the tfmpage archives, it seems PKB was a remake of Hindi 'parvarish' (not that it makes any difference, just an info) :-)

#34 வா பொன்மயிலே, நெஞ்சம் ஏக்கத்தில் தவிக்குது
(பூந்தளிர், 1979 )

The very beginning of this song brings that old world charm. Places one on an instant time machine to reach late 70's / radio era / IOKS evenings etc!

What a coherent beauty in SPB's voice, nice tablA and sweet strings! The songs that I love most have always had that smoothest transition from saraNam back to pallavi (or interlude to saraNam). This one is a quintessential example. Even the lyric is written in a way that the end of the saraNam has some enticing thing stating which the boy calls the girl, like, "iNAinthu makizha -vA pon mayilE". Very nice saraNam melody - begins kind of slow, gets some instrumental help as call-response, then picks up the pace with some quick syllables and finally - like a "uRichcha gnArippoovan into mouth" rolls back to pallavi.

Magic!
