kannanukku kobam enna song has the shades of kangalal nAn varaindhen as well as unnidam mayangugiren. All 3 songs have Jesudas as male singer. But a nice melody.

Satya, I also saw the song Aiyirandu thingalile in jaya TV. KR Vijaya ulukku ulukku endru andha thooLiya pOttu Attuvanga. Kozhandha eppidi thoongum :) Also saw the Cho' kAlatshebham scene. Real comedy it is :)

Satya, oru kelvi. There was a film called gouri. Same KR Vijaya acted with K.balaji. jaigenesh was KR V's ex-lover but she married KB. The story was line with Chithi (padmini, MR radha, gemini). Do you remember one thalattu song by PS in that movie. MD is SG, I thin k.

Madhu, SathyaKabali thanks for reminding 'aiyirandu thingaLile' (and vividhbharathis thenkinnam :)

Balaji i too like Cho's kathakaalatshebam. Pity we do not have such talented(and brilliant) comedians now.

Thanks ramki. Good song. It used to be in ceylon radio almost every day in those good old days.

Song: iLancholai poothadhaal
Film: unakaagave vaazhgiren
Singer: SPB
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Music : iLaiyaraja

This is my favorite SPB solo. I know its not a rare one but still its worth listening again(and many times).

Classical raaga thread says this song is based on 'madhuvanthi' raagam.
'unakkagave vaazhgiren' , remake of Malyalam 'shyama'(Mammooty, Nadhiya) , had Sivakumar,Nadhiya,Menaka and Suresh. The film was quite good(except for the climax) and had some very good numbers by IR.
'kaNNa unnai thedugiren vaa'(SPB,SJ)
'oh endhan vaazhvile or vennillaa'(SJ)
'kaNgaL something something :) ' (MV,SJ)

The story is about a MD(Sivakumar) who, after losing his wife(Menaka), comes to Ooty . He meets a danceuse (Nadhiya) who has stopped dancing after losing her fiance(Suresh) in an accident, . Friendhsip and then Love blossoms between the two. But Sivakumar later learns that he was the one who killed Suresh. Then after all the requisite melodrama ,tears and fights the lovers live happily forever.

This thread gives the musical notes for this song

kaNNa unai thedukiren vaa is a very nice melody from this movie. SPB & SJ simply excel on this one.

Hi !

nice song ! but visually u hv to adjust urself for the bharatanatyam dance of Nadiya ( though she tries her best !! -better than many other actresses, of course ) !!

Great song. One of my favorite SPB solos too.. I think it's more of Dharmavathi than Madhuvanti.. Same for the earlier POW - 'natarajan kudi konda', which a more detailed one..

Madhu i agree :lol: . I read somewhere she is a professional bharathanatyam dancer :)

RR i thought Madhuvanthi is hindustani name for Dharmavathi?

Ramki, they are counterparts. Counterparts are often not identical, like sriranjani & bageshri. In TFM, I think 'ennullil engo' and 'kanaakaanum kaalangal' come close to Madhuvanti.. I mean, acc.to my kelvi gyanam :D
