#39 காத்தோடு பூ உரச, பூவ வண்டுரச
உன்னோடு நான், என்னோடு நீ
பூவா, காத்தா உரச?
(அன்புக்கு நான் அடிமை, 1980 )
groucho & Plum have already mentioned about this hugely popular SPB-PS duet from the same movie (Rajini-Rathi romance possibly). Obviously, none of those popular references (star / movie) had any relevance in my case. It was purely IR magic that took me to this song, apart from the superb singing by both PS & SPB. (PS loosens up a bit in this song to adapt to IR brand folkism, IMO).
This song is an evidence of what characterized IR's music during most of early 80's - going after hitherto unknown patterns, i.e. unknown to him or others. In other words, innovation / trying to experiment. The rhythm arrangement / pattern in this song is an example! Tabla started taking all kinds of avatars in IR songs from this time period - mostly going away from previously known patterns that were all tried out during 70's. Well, it started earlier here and there (thAmtha dheemtha, for e.g.) but from 1980, it became the norm. Possibly IR was consiously trying to form his new brand / set new trends etc (and go away from "only folk" "away from folk means sounding like MSV/KVM" etc).
This was new Raja for us who were accustomed to looking for such things in Raja by this time. In fact, every music I heard during my +2 days were evaluated as "what's new in this? sounds? beats? patterns? combo of instruments? etc". I remember a function in Madurai collector office where one Shivshankar's music was being played before it started. While the lead melody was in sitar, there were fusion arrangements with western instruments and some interesting rhythm patterns! It was around that time that I wanted some kind of fusion in every Raja song!
I still don't know what fusion exists in 'kAthOdu poo urasa' (lacking music knowledge) but I'm pretty sure it's a mix of genres by IR to create his newer brand...

Hi app_engine,
Great write up !! thumbs up!
The 80's payanam has started, I think I will be indulging myself thoroughly in your writing in a much acquainted turf (80's) . Looking forward to this journey , with my jannal orathu seat reserved, Breezing the cruise with IR & your writings.
I had the chance to watch Anbukku Naan adimai recently, and I love those 2 songs, Story was not much, just a lame 80s kku endre uruvakka patta kathai, pazhi vangum,annan-thambi,kathal,naduvule aadu,dog & etc and not forgetting the gramathu nattamai @ villain with a rustic voice
Kaatrodu poo urasa, lovely pick indeed. Rathi, being one of the most prettiest actress of that period,she has a funny way of lip-synching .. :D :D
Rajini was still Rajinikanth is title cards, when did he started using the Super star title? Can any one clarify this for me pls? Ippo ennadanna oru padatheleye twinkle2 little star-nnu pattam podarange ...oops ... LOL!
App anna
We all 'Highly' appreciate the task of 'Mission Impossible'. Hats off :notworthy: I hope you have the Stamina to keep going when You come to the 80's songs :)
Folks
I was listening to an addictive song of SPB with annoying dialogues like (epdi epdi ) by S.N.Surendar, the song starts like this அங்கரங்கம் யாவுமே சொல்வதென்றால் பாவமே ஏழையின் காதலை மாழிகை அறியுமா ? which film is this song from and who was the MD for this song?
