Picks 536 - 770

Hi Neel:

Here is what I uLarify about Avanukku thaan theriyum. Hmmm... sorry what I feel about the song :-)

Avanukku thaan theriyum is a song with excellent lyrics... It looks like Pulamaipithan's. Whoever wrote, its fantastic. Simple tune by MSV. Emotional rendition by PS and SPB. Thanks for hosting this gem dear. You made my day !!

What a composition! My favorite song, Neel!
TRUE MUSICAL GENIUS without publicity knows to connect with the listeners in a simple manner.

I wish they bring these songs in cd or mp3.


I am surprised Shakthi is visiting this thread only now.

Jack, you are welcome. It is a indeed a great song.
SN23, I have no details on the film :-( (madhu, any idea?)

KAdhal Mayyakkam thandha Sunantha's voice is very soft and lovely. No reason why she could not glitter like other singers. Nice song Neel.

Today Bhogi illiyO? Wish you a blissful Bhogi (Pazhayana Kazhidhal) and devotional Sankranti (Pudhiyana Pugudhal) and Cheerful MAttu Pongal Jal Jal Jal :-)

:ty: Neel for a beautiful raaja paattu!
shakthi is making this thread very interesting.
Yes,madam! indeed karaharapriya.
Maadhavi ponmayilal...
Maharajan ulagai.... I love this song. Very romantic lyrics, singararasam sotta sotta TMS & Susheela singing. Sivaji with Devika- very beautiful lady, missed the song in the movie.
maappillaikku... Netrikkan- love this rajini, miss him dearly, hope he returns back soon.
:ty: Ramki - for Sriraman sridevi.... shri.MSV musical.

Pick #581

Song: kAmAtchiyE mInAtchiyE
Film: Etho Moham
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singers: S.P.Balasubramanyam, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1984

A fastpaced and joyous duet from Gangai Amaran. Listening to the song fills a heart with joy and a feathery lightness. Beautifully sung by SPB and VJ. The film starred Suresh and Bhanupriya. I believe it was produced by Gangai Amaran, apart from scoring the music and probably writing the lyrics too.

Neel: Anandham song just resembles Maharajan ulagai aalalaam, illiaa? Good tune. To my ear sunandha voice sounds like Soolamangalam rajalakshmi of her young days :-)

vel1970, thanks.

Pick #582

Song: ithO ithO ithO
Film: Mannikka Vendugiren
Music: Chakravarthi
Singers: S.P.Shailaja, Mano
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Year: 1990

Mannikka Vendugiren starred Dr.Rajasekar and Deepika Chikalia. Dubbed from Telugu, of course. Rajasekar is a physician who loves his wife Deepika very much. But due to circumstances he believes that his wife is cheating on him with a childhood friend of hers (let us call him Babu). Rajasekar spies on his wife, sees Babu and a woman together in bed in his house, mistakes the woman (Shantipriya, Babu's girlfriend) for Deepika and assumes that his wife is sleeping with Babu. He schemes a great plan. He fakes his own death and frames Babu as the murderer. Babu gets the death penalty while Rajasekar goes into hiding. Shantipriya seeks Sarathbabu's help to investigate the murder to prove her boyfriend's innocence. Sarathbabu, a detective or something, cracks the puzzle and finds Rajasekar. Sarathbabu tells Rajasekar that whom he saw with Babu was Shantipriya and not Deepika. Rajasekar realizes his mistake and runs to save Babu's life. (phew! got that all out in one breath).

You must have figured the reason for the title of the film. Now... the faithful wife, the husband who doubts her character, faithful Sita, suspecting Rama, Ramayan, Deepika Chikalia... you see the connection? Today's pick was filmed on the leads during their happy days before the infidelity suspicion arises.

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow...o_itho_itho.rm

Typical telugu style song. Chakravarthy one of the leading MD in tollywood, gives nice fast beat duet which easily can attract youngsters. You are rocking like anything NeelD. Keep going buddy.

Jack

Thanks Jack.

Pick #583

Song: nAn iravil ezuthum
Film: Subamuhurtham
Music: Shankar-Ganesh
Singers: K.J.Yesudas, Kalyani Menon
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1983

Subamuhurtham starred S.V.Sekar and Sulakshana. Probably a low-budget comedy. Thanks to those days when television was not common, memories of beautiful songs like today's pick are not tainted by their picturizations.

Thanks to Priya for sending this song.

Pick #584

Song: athO vAnilE OrAyiram
Film: Mudhal Paadal
Music: S.A.Rajkumar
Singer: S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: S.A.Rajkumar
Year: 1993

"Mudhal Paadal" was a great effort from S.A.Rajkumar. It has eight full length songs and two bit songs. S.A.Rajkumar also wrote the lyrics for all the songs except one song which is in English. All songs have great orchestration and the film also has good re-recording. Mainly the songs are of different tunes. SAR's hardwork does show in the result. But, the tunes of some of the songs are not quite catchy enough to make the album an instant hit. In addition, some of the voices were a bit of a letdown. The album would have been a big hit had it come a few years earlier, before "ARR" happened.

The film was also produced by SAR, and it left him bankrupt. The story was about a guy falling in love with a young catholic nun. He is very persistent about getting her love. The nun's willpower is shaken. After a lot of struggle with her feelings and her vow, the nun decides to give up her religious service and marry the guy. The nun's father and brother are against it and they turn the whole town against the couple. But the younger generation of the town revolts against their parents' generation and supports the couple. Some more things happen and the film ends on a happy note with the couple being united in marriage. It was not a boring film, but the story was unnecessarily forward and the leads looked a little mature.

Today's pick is a nice song from the film. It is sung by the guy soon after he falls in love with the girl.

Pick #585

Song: pUvE ithu kARRin gItham
Film: Mudhal Paadal
Music: S.A.Rajkumar
Singer: K.J.Yesudas
Lyrics: S.A.Rajkumar
Year: 1993

Today's pick is another nice song from "Mudhal Paadal".

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow...ithu_karrin.rm

Thanks for providing the tracks information for muthal paadal..

Thanks for both "Muthal Paadal" songs. SAR done quite different style of composing in this movie. You can find the difference when you compare with his other movie songs.

Jack

Hi Neel:

A little bit of trivia... "Mini Joseph" is the original (real) name of Minmini... Raja called her Minmini, and the rest is history!! :) (I know you already knew that!! :) )

bobgalee, you are welcome.

Jack, you are correct. SAR really has worked for this album. Of course, it is his own production. Wish he would put the same effort for others' productions too.

raagadevan, Yes, I do know, :) but there must be many fans who don't. Thanks for posting the trivia.

Jack

SAR gave quite a few decent songs during his early days (incl. Mutha Paadal, chinna poove mela pesu). It must be his sivaranjani obsession that turned him into a recycling king during the later days.

Neel,

thanks for the cool melody 'naan iravil ezhuthum' - one of my non-IR 80's favorites. Surprised there were no comments on this song. Perhaps people are still immersed in the musical rain and haven't gotten back yet? :)

Neel & Friends: P. Suseela received award Padma Bhushan, though long pending. Any great song of her as a treat?

Hi Neel,

Vel kEttadhu pOla oru rare PS song kodungO !

A trivia...

Paadivaa Poonguyile... from Muthal Paadal was REUSED by S.A.Rajkumar in the movie... PUNNAGAI DESAM... as

Kaatrile Paatu Varum Kanavugal Sernthu Varum

sung by Unni Krishnan

RR, you are welcome. "nAn iravil ezuthum" is a lovely song.
vel1970 & madhu, Sure thing! Coming right up!
bobgalee, thanks for the trivia. Proves SAR's laziness. Let us hope that he will stretch himself in the future.

Pick #586

Song: senthUra neRRippottin naLinam
Film: Chitra Pournami
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singers: T.M.Sounderarajan, P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1976

A beautiful song in the winning combination of MSV, TMS, PS and Kannadasan. PS and TMS sound so sweet. For some reason this song and other songs from "Chitra Pornami" have not become that popular. The quality of the album is as good as other similar albums from the time. May be the outrageous costumes and story of the film turned off the audience even from the music. The film starred a somewhat slim Sivaji Ganesan and pretty Jayalalitha.

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow...thura_nerri.rm

Hi Neel.

I too think that coz of the cowboy attire and kudhirais... sometimes create a box office hit.. played havoc in case of chitra pournami. But songs are certainly good.

( ennavO pOnga.. ammavai konna villain-ai hero vittalum, kudhirai konnudichAm.. :mrgreen: )

Chittiraa Pournami song...realy nice one. I heard the name of movie, but i don't remember any songs from this movie, specially today's pick. Can you pls list down other songs in this movie.

NeelD, thanks for posting one of the rare gem.

Jack

Very nice song Neel. I heard Chitra Pournami (super flop) was in production for very long time and got released in 1975 or 76. This may be the reason that both Sivaji and JJ look slim and young :-)

PS sounds very sweet and TMS never was a mismatch for Sivaji.

I guess it was directed by CV Rajendran. Vijayakumari also acted in a key role pairing Muthuraman (Villain). In fact Sivaji acted in a terrorist or naxal kind of role.

madhu, that was not cowboy attire. That was more like Robin Hood meets Peter Pan. :argh:

Jack, you are welcome.

SN23, thanks.

Pick #587

Song: vanthAlum vanthANdi rAjA
Film: Chitra Pournami
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: T.M.Sounderarajan, P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1976

Today's pick was moderately popular during its time. Jayalalitha tells Sivaji that they are going to have a baby. Sivaji is overjoyed and bursts into this song. TMS gives a very happy and hyper rendition and PS contrasts with a calm rendition. Nicely conceived and blended by the master composer MSV.

Other songs from the film are:
ennadi chinna kutti - TMS (usual teasing song)
kAlam uNdu paruvam uNdu - LRE (nightclub song with nice orchestration and chorus)
nIyum vAzavENdum - VJ (great sad song)

Welcome to the thread disk.box. Glad you are enjoying it.

Nice...nice..extremly nice song. TMS excellently expose the situation of the song, while MSV given beautiful composed fast track. Thanks NeelD for giving oppertunity to listen this great music after longback. Hats off to you.

Jack

Hi Neel..

ennadi chinna kutti :confused2: maRandhu pOchE :cry:
