Ramki, "naan thedum paadham" is truly a wonderful find !!!
MD: Sirpy ? :o . This song alone has absolved him from the crime of his painful egyptian/persian/arabian aural attacks he has inflicted on hapless listeners.
Raga could be "malayamarudham" or something close to it
It is sad that with nobody like KJY around, this genre of songs is dying in TFM. UK , though good still lacks the depth of KJY.
RR, I accept your "He can sing really light also. Just listen to his astapathi's (there's one in mallu film 'gaanam' - beautiful). I guess kavikkuyil songs can be considered light too.".
No doubt on that. What I shared here was on BMK's film duets. I found him not a romantic mood creater-singer like SPBala or TMS etc. Otherwise, MD's would have been waited in Q to offer him duet songs. His solos are lovely, esp Mounathil viLayadum.
Ennai yaarum adikka vara maattaargaL endraal, I share my thought. BMK's kaadhal duets sound like Oru thanjavoor maamaa vesti kattikittu vethala-seeval mennukittu aayasamaa duet paadrappala irukkum. If he had sung "poongaatru thirumbumaa", I might have loved. GOD!!... NOM :-)

It was early 90s i think. On a lazy weekend, i started watching this unknown film called chinnathaiyi. All i know about the film is those 2 excellent songs 'naan aerikarai melirundhu' and 'kottaiyaivittu'.
Only into few minutes after the film started i was totally captivated. The film had a different look..im not sure how to explain it..you can call it say a different texture?
Its about a unwed mother, ostracized by a village, trying to protect her daughter from meeting the same fate as hers. Daughter does the same mistake the mother did. Does she end up like her mother?
The story was told very convincingly and interestingly by a debutant director(who?who?). The highlight of the film was the performances by highly underrated sabita anand(as the mom) and vinuchakravarthi(as the hero's father). Rajeswari played the daughters role while vignesh did her beau's character.
IR music was stunning. 'Kottaiyivittu' had 3 different versions.
The kids version(by UR , Minmini) etc is the popular one,SPB's a shorter one and SJ's the rare one.
'arumbarumba' is a nice lullaby (One cannot not help notice the aged voice of PS).
Ramki: The director's name, I think, is Ganesapandiyan. Chinnathaayi was successful at box office and the director's next attempt was Maamiyaar veedu *ing Selva and another hero which was a flop, I think.
arumbarumba is too good. I think it's in Mayamalava gowla. Can see shades of 'kuyila pudichu'.
Also, arumbarumba reminds me of "Sondhamillai Bandhamillai" from Annakkili. That was also by PS.
Ramki
Thanks a million.
90s reminded me of Rakkai Koyil and Nangal also. Parthathenna to me is the finest SPB_Chithra Duet ever. Undhanin Paadal ennai engo kondu sella was always wonderful to hear...
If you have the clips and find them suitable, please host them.
Thanks for all the wonderful songs you host.

Bala , who ids the MD of Raakai koil? Nangal?
raakayi kovil was by IR. Undhanin paadal by Uma Ramanan is from that film
naangaL was by IR.
Ramki, naan yEri karai mEl irunthu, had three version as well, one by KJY, one by SL and a duet by KJY, SL. 90's IR albums are like that.
