Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Ramki..

now cauvery is in full flow... like our thread..:P

Good one, it's in the raga Yathukula Kambhoji.

nalla song.. I'm hearing it after a long time.
RR: Hope the problems around the hub have been sorted out! :)

Nice song Ramki sir. Can't predict the song. Aadi matham poruthamaana paadal. So, Aadi 18-kku "manjaLum thanthaaL malargaL thanthaaL" from Thenum Paalum-paattu undaa?

Ramki Sir, we are lucky and thank to Sridhar Sir, to chose JJ, couldn imagine Hema in the role in VA.

Balaji Sir, Radha directed by A.C.Thrilogachanthar which released on November 1973. but it make doubt about the Producer's name - Sinthar Lal Nahatha.

wonderful pick ramki
ps is awesome as always

Lovely song!!! With Mother Kaveri brimming with froth , she is bound to quench the thirst of the parched lands and souls.
RR, To me it sounds like "Aarabi" or it could even be "Sudhasaveri" [ enakku swara gyanam poojyam"].
Is "en kaadhal kaNmani" , a very popular SPB solo also from the same movie?

Thanks everyone.

Bala, Im not aware of a telugu original but i remember watching pramilas malarum ninaivugaL on DD . She mentioned the role and Hemamalinis performance and how she tried to be as good as her ..blah blah.

My assumption is ACT picturised both the versions simultaneously and released them at the same time.

Premananth, aadikku oru pattu podhaadha?:)

Ramki Sir,
Aadikku pothumaa theriyaathu, aanaa enakku pothaathu...ha..ha...ha... just joke.

Enna Sir, ellame female duets-a?

Could you host "thalai vAlzhai ilai pottu" from "Naan Yen Piranthen" ?

I think, Jikki and Janaki had sang only two songs togather. 1st: Manjalum ThanthaL - Thenum Paalum, 2nd: thalai vAlzhai...

Chakravarthi was a movie that dealt with three friends in different professions, I remember. While Jai came as a advocate, Srikanth acted as a police officer. The third person, I don't remember. Jai is wanted for a crime and Srikanth is hot on his heels. This song comes in a situation where they arrange for a function in the house (Valaikappu for Saradha OR 60th Birthday for Jai parents? ) and Srikanth expecting that Jai would be there comes in. It turns out that Saradha is the sister of Srikanth. This is what remember (I am not sure!). The movie came for 1977 Deepavali.

Regards

premananth, though the tune and singing by SJ and Jikki are peerless in the song "thalai vaazhai ilai pottu" , Iam sore with the male chauvinism and the blind hero[MGR] worship , this song fans

deiva balam ' varave varaathaa jikki sj i think
thanks

Thanks everyone.

Prem, i do not have that song :(

Pick #355

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

Song: thannanthaniyaaga naan
Movie: sangamam
Singers : TMSoundararajan, PSuseela
Lyrics: kaNNadasan?
MD: TKRamamurthy

I came across this song only few years back and fell in love in the very first listening. I love the pallavi and the anupallvi more than the saranam portion.
After his breakup with MSV, TKR worked in many flop films and i believe sangamam is one of them. I have no other details on this pic. Did it have Jaishankar by any chance?

hi ramky its gemini ganesh kr vijaya

Hi Ramki

its Gemini in double role with KRV and vennira adai nirmala as jodi..
I remember two more songs "oru pattukku pala ragam" by TMS, "kaNNanidam kEttirundhEn" by PS.

Romba Nalla Padal Ramki Sir!

TKR has done a good job in weaving a good melody.

Anal andha MSV touch alavu illai. Romba Naal adhu Govardhanan-in isai endru Nainaithu kondu irundhaen, until Oli 96.8 P Balasubramanian announced this as a TKR song.

Violin isai nandraga ulladhu.

Thanks for the song

Bala

Nice song! yes... Gemini Ganesan & KRV.

am back in tfmpage after many years... good to listen to these nice songs and read the discussions again!

welcome.. interpreter !

Thankyou everyone for the details

Welcome back interpreter.

Pick #356

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

Song: mappillai sirkku vazhthukkaL
Movie: balaparikshai
Singers : TMSoundararajan, PSuseela
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: TMSoundararajan

I think this is the only film that had TMS as the MD. Let me know if there are any others.
Other than this song, TMS did not comeup with good numbers for this Sujatha-Muthuraman,PramiLa-Jaiganesh film.

BP, if i remember is one of those malechauvinistic film that looked down on working women. The film is about 2 couples
Muthu-Sujatha and Pramila-JaiG.
Muthu is a middle class average joe with 2 kids. Sujatha is a greedy wife who always makes fun of her husbands inability to earn more. When she decides to get a job her husband doesnt like it.
Jai-Pramila pair both work. But to boost their earnings pramila ends up as a prostitute, police arrests her and the pair commits suicide.
In the end, sujatha learns that working women are all bad and they commit suicide so She accepts her husband and his earnings with contempt.
I might have got some details wrong but i think this is the jist of the film.

Todays song has some nice nadhaswaram interludes and i guess its based on a classical raagam.

Madhu and Ramki,Thank you for the welcome

Another nice choice, Ramki. I remember the arguments by Muthuraman and Sujatha. Each one thinks the other person's job is easy. Then Muthu will stay in the house and do all the housework and Sujatha will go to office. Then both will realize how difficult the other person's job is

Did not TMS act and provide music for 'Kavirajar Kala
Megam', Vennira Adai Nirmala was in the movie as well.

Bala

Balaji: Music for Kaviraja Kalamegam was by SMS.
Ramki: Very nice choice. In fcat, I was reminded of this song when I first heard the song " Kannodu Kanbadellam" from "Jeans".
RRA

Thanks thumburu and tfmlover.

It's ok Ramki Sir but you have host very nice songs. Thanks.

I'm going to watch Balaparikshai this Saturday in local satelite TV. lets watch what the story.. right choice at the right time... thanks again Ramki Sir.

Ramki.... IMO, Gemini/TMS combination did not work out well. AM Raja OR PBS was the best fit for GG. Anyway, nothing wrong for a change. ThannanthaniyAga is a out & out PS' song and she sang extremely well. The line "ippadi kEttAl eppadi kaNNa..." is sweetOsweet :-)

MAppiLLai sArukku vazhthukkaL is a song in the wedding reception. The inner feelings of the pair MR+Sujatha come out as idikkum/uraikkum advice to the newly wedded couple. UmayaLpuram sivaraman acted as himself as part of the song (with artificial sirippu) besides playing on his traditional instrument. I vaguely remember NPN brothers also were part of this song for NAdaswaram.

Ramki, whether music for kallum kaniyAgum was scored by TMS? (Kai viralil pirandhadhu nAdham is a great song KK).

I never knew that AadiyilE perukkeduthu was sung by Vasantha also along with PS. Very long time not listened to that song. Thanks Ramki for all the gems :-)

SN23: kallum Kaniyagum had music by MSV.
RRA

:)

Thanks everyone for your recollections

rra, 'mappiLLai sir' reminds of 2 more songs:
maanikka theril(esp the second charanam of mappillai) and
sangeetham paada(idhu namma aaLu)

Picks #357 and 358

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/babu_tms.rm
http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/neram_tms.rm

Song: babu babu babu enge/neram vandhaachu
Movie: thai meedhu sathyam
Singers : TMSoundararajan, PSuseela
Lyrics: Maruthakasi?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

These songs are always fun to listen and also to watch. Rajini with kudumi and kungumapottu was unintentionally hilarious to watch.
Sripriya, who had as his jodi in more than 10 films, made a good pair in this film too.
Devar films were loyal to TMS and PS. They changed heros , heroines and MDs but very rarely these singers.
Rajiniyin thalaikku andha kudumi ethanai poruthamo athanai porutham avarukku pinnani kodutha TMS-in kural :) .

I remember one more TMS solo from TMS :) -Purappaduda thambi purappadudaa

any other song? How was the movie? Was it a hit?

Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the song !!! Indha kaalai nerathil, indha padalgal ennudaiya oorai ninaivuku vara vaithadhu !!! Pidikamal ketta tunes dhan appodhu !!! Anal padal enbadhu matra ninaivugalaiyum serthu vaithu kondu irukiradhae !!! Thank you once again !!!!

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

Ramki,

Thai meedhu Sathiyam ran well in Chennai !

Rajini's kudumi was ofcourse a comic sight. Later he becomes a Clint Eastwood ( & his mentor will be Major who will resemble Good bad & ugly type character ) . All fun :D

The dressing style also will resemble MGR in Vettai karan. Probably Devar had that fascination towards Hollywood stars those days !

TMS sang some more songs for Rajini :

1. Nandooruthu nariyoorudhu
2. Amma , nee sumandha pillai

Ramki: Did Rajini played dual role in TMS? I have not seen that movie (may be thank God :-)).

TMS romba mukki munagi pAdarAr (neram vandhachu) :-)

I remember one hindustani based song by PS in TMS. "neeyum nAnum ingu vAzhum vAzhkkai oru koottal kaNNkku thaan". Very well sung by her.
