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




Song: kuyilosaiyai vellum
Movie: mannippu
Singers : PSuseela, APKomala
Lyrics: Vaali
MD: SMSubbaiyah Naidu
Year : 1969


While filming one of the scenes in mannippu, Actress venniradai nirmala met with a freak accident that left her scarred forever.
One crucial scene in mannippu was AVMRajan trying to molest VN.
Her character tries to escape from him but hits her head on a wooden table and dies.
During the scene, the director wanted VN to keep her eyes open(after her character dies). He then made AVMR sprinkle water into her face. One of the water drop hit her with great force. She felt immense pain but the scene took few takes to complete. By the time the scene was successfully completed her eye was totally swollen. She was rushed to hospital but the doctor couldnt do much. Though the pain subsided, she lost the ability to blink her eye.
VN mentioned this in her malarum ninaivugaL.

'Mannippu' also had Jaishankar and lakshmi. AVMR and Lakshmi played sibilings and VN played lakshmis pattu teacher(todays song is for them).
SMS tuned some good songs for Mannippu. Todays pick is the least popular of the three(i know). The other 2 popular numbers are
'nee enge en ninaivugaL'(TMS/PS) and
'vennilaa vaaanil'(TMS,PS).

Which is the last film of SMS?

nice pick and good lyrics by vaali

PS for VN and APKomala for Lakshmi..

initially PS refused to sing because APK is senior to PS and the situation is like PS teaching to APK but APK accepted without any problem and SMS made PS feel comfortable

PS said this during a chat

Hi Ramki,

Nice pick!. All these days I thought the co-singer of this song is Jikki!
I made the correction to be APK after your posting.

BTW can I request for a song from 'Engamma sabatham'. It is a duet by SPB and VJ. The song starts with 'Anbu megame ingu oodiva enthan thunaiyai azhaithu vaa...'

Pick #431

Song: oru naal irundhen
Movie: edhirigaL jakkiradhai
Singers : TMS, PSuseela, Shobha(chandrasekar)
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: Vedha
Year : 1967

This is a cute song , definitely not vedhas original. Does anyone know the hindi original? I like the waltzy construction of the pallavi and PSuseelas lead in the saranam. TMS fill in laughs is artificial but well it was the 60s :).
I know EJ had jaishankar, manohar, LVijayalakshmi. Was the song picturised on any of the above ?
The film had some good songs like 'nerukku ner nindru', 'enakkoru aasai ippodhu', 'neeyaaga enai thedi'.

nalla paatu Ramki..

TMS, PS rendu perum low pitch-leye paada shoba mattum :mrgreen: pappa maadhiri paaduvadhu.. konjam different-than... adhuvum 60s-la...

I am always kuzhappifying myself that the hero is Ravichandran... :oops:

KuyilOsaiyai vellum PS kuarl. Indha pAttu PS-ukkahavE ezudhi pattadhO :-)

APK's does not fit Lakshmi at all.

Mannippu's nee engE song is the most famous in the film, esp TMS's version. Is it for Jai?

Madhu, your confusion could be due to Oru marathil kudi irukkum song, which is from Enga pAppA (Ravichdran and Kannada Kalpana) :-)

Ramki, do you have that song (TMS and PS versions)?

SN23 :

adhunala illai... coz this song is for manohar and manimala I think..

( just like that modern theatres padam enraal anegama jaishankarthan iruppar.. irundhalum indha padathu hero mattum eppavume enakku kuzhappam koduppar..)

mannippu .. "nee enge" is the only song with three different tunes I think.. is it correct ?

Ramki,

I think the hindi original of 'oru naal' is 'Heana bolo bolo Pappa bolo bolo'. I vaguely remember the hero of the hindi film is shammi kapoor and heroine is Hemamalini. Film:andaaz
