Nice to read about your friend's marriage event. Definitely, it should have been embarrassing to both of them to meet in front of everyone for the first time, that too on the day of marriage.
Suganya's debut film was Bharathiraaja's Pudhu Nellu Pudhu Naathu in 1991. So that site might have written Suganya's name by mistake. VVP has some very good songs, but I have not heard since many years. Thanks for picking up these songs.
nanRi, V_Sji!
BTW, porut kuRRam:
I've seen him only once :-) Also, as you can see toward the end of the post - his stress on money - it's difficult for him to qualify as my friend :-)Quote:

There are few songs of him in the IF section...for e.g. look at this page (or the few prior pages for panchAgni, nakhakshadhangaL...):

App, please also listen to his hindi classics. He started his musical career from 1950s. He came down south only later in 70's, I think. He didn't have any classical training, yet you can hear classical based songs in his compositions, in Chaudhvin ka chaand, Hamraaz, Gumrah, Gharana, Aaj aur kal, Grishasthi, Narsi Bhagat and many more. You have to listen to classical "Darshan do Ghanshyam" from Narsi Bhagat and "Jeevan jyot jale" from Grishasthi, to know his talent. A great loss indeed. :sad:
</dig>
:( sad news .
mmm... I think manamaalaiyum manjalum.....charukesi delight is the only song I have listened in this album. I have that composition in some assorted collection.
thanks, app_eng.
karuppu, sigappu etc... Stigma shed pannungappa!:twisted:
my friend solluvaan, until he was in India, he felt low because he was dark but his family members are fair colour appadinnu avanga kudumba janta talking.
When he arrived USA, how his classmates & his work people, friends he made in his gym etc.. are nice & value him for his potential & nicety.
adhaan... stigma ozhinjadhan uruppadum.
vinatha.
nanRi baroque, for the rAgA info!

sikkunu izhukkudhu chittAnchinukku - VVP with KSC
Sweet themmAngu - with not so sweet chorus. Both KSC & SPB add a lot of value to what could have been composed by IR in 5 minutes. Song was unquestionably a hit - heard many times on PA systems / buses. Gets entry into the thread without having to qualify.
Per my Vadivel "plan" (achak-puchak-jachak), this song should have an incident with the Palakkad Laurel & Hardy. Possibly the last one for them (as they ceased to be room mates in 1990 and one by one moved into our bachelor home).
I need to introduce another friend here - a tall guy with a lot of musical interest, used to talk non-stop about 'pon vAnam panneer thoovuthu innEram', tried to get into guitar lessons like me but suffered due to lack of time like me as well in this time period and was a regular in bachelor room conversations / commute back from work etc. (I bought 3 or may be 4 Lewis guitars from Bangalore and brought them in 'island express' during one of my official trips for all of us...mine got snapped thanks to the "strings-force-tension", after being unattended for months)...
Our restless-bulky-engineer was known for arguing with anyone and everyone and on almost every topic in the world :-) Fortunately for me, he was music agnostic and I was the only guy in his good books / got spared from arguments. OTOH, his "lean-artist-slow-room mate" was practically spending an average of one hour each day arguing with him on some topic or other.
It was an eventful day when all four of us (me, Laurel, Hardy, tall-music-guy) got out of the bus at Fort Maidan of Palakkad, coming back from work - around 5:45 PM. It was a beautiful evening and the maidan was beautifully lit by the weak rays from the west and it was awesome to see the huge sun in the "setting" process! It was like a huge orange-brown ball and all of us were mesmerized at the sight of it and were speechless!
Well, our bulky man wanted to break into conversation and started "innaikku pournamiyA" :lol: (It was obvious that he mistook the sun for moon :rotfl:)
All three of us instantly burst into laughter and his lean room mate reminded him 'yOv adhu sooriyan yA'!
A normal guy would have got embarassed and may be asadu vazhinjified and either kept quiet or made a shy remark and /or run for cover. But our Mr Argument cannot leave things that easily. So he started, 'why, can sun not look in a specific way on a pournami day? What do you know about astronomy? Did you study planetary motion?' etc etc.
We couldn't believe our ears - but both the guys kept arguing over the topic for at least an hour that day until the music-lover could bear it no more and pushed it to another topic :-)
End of the day, we all had to go to the theater -for second show - to cool it off :-)

Hilarious post App, especially the justification part! :lol:
Regarding Pudhiya Thendral, it should be Ravi Devendran, a music director mainly in telugu film industry. I guess some sites separates his first name and last name and lists as 'Ravi' / 'Deva' as md for this film. There is also one more Devendran who did BR's Vedham Pudhithu. All confusions.:lol:
Isn't Ravi Devendran same as Devendran?
nanRi, V_Sji!
Me too feebly remember Devendran of vEdham pudhidhu later revised his name...not very sure, though...
In any case, it's highly improbable that a Bombay Ravi TFM album exists...
Oh yeah you both may be right! May be it's true that Ravi Devendran and Devendran are one and the same. Atleast from the style perspective of VEdham pudhithu and Pudhiya Thendral songs, both seems to have come from the same md, but it is definitely not Bombay Ravi.

Param,
You like Madhavi, so you need to check-out the last song in the following post (chandanalEpa sugandham)...
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...l=1#post827190
end-dig
In the early eighties, there was one Ravi who was the MD of a Tamil Film by name "Sparisam" or so. Somebody can check up.
That Ravi was Mr Shobana. I am fairly sure Ravi Devendran=Devendran. Only possibility of Bombay Ravi in tamil is if any of the hindi/mallu movies got dubbed? Wasn't Nakshathangal dubbed?
I remember seeing this movie some years ago, Shobana was the pair for Satyaraj.
Great going App sir, Kalakungge ! :)

It is the lack of delivery on promise(of auspicious music) that irked him the most and confined the word to profanity status :lol:

(வாத்தியார் வீட்டுப்பிள்ளை, 1989, சித்ராவுடன்)
Eh oru poonjOlai ALAnadhE of VVP with KSC
A song where KSC almost sounds like SJ, especially in the pallavi line :shock: Excellent song - melodious and soothing with its flute accompaniments! SPB sounds like 20-something :shock: mArkkaNdEyakkural! With nice vaLaivu neLivukAL, the song has a "magudi" effect and can calm even a person of murderous rage! If I'm into "therapy using music", I'll strongly recommend this song to people with disturbed mind, in a rage, burst of anger etc to manage and control / subside their urges :-) (OTOH, this may increase certain "maRRa" urge and one has to have a proper outlet for that :wink:)
Again, a song known to me only thru Cbe-area buses and was unquestionably popular!
Now, per my outlined plan, this song should have some interesting thing related to marriages / match making etc. Earlier, baroque admonished people to shed stigma (of 'attakkaruppu / sekkachchevappu' problems). Per my observation in TN / Kerala all thru the 70s-90s and even in the new millennium, this had been a problem - even though all of us can be called 'brown' in general. This 'fair color' had often been a decisive factor in picking the bride! :oops: TN-dark-boys-falling-for-fair-KL-girls wasn't an unusual thing.
I had a eastie team mate (from Gauhati, he didn't like to be called "northie") who loved 'sheNbagamE' and often hummed it. He often ridiculed TN-ers for this craving of fair thOl, especially pointing out to our movies having dark heroes dancing around with "imported fair" girls :lol2: Interestingly, however, I happened to be involved in a "match-making" that was simbly opposite to this general state of the affair. (BTW, it was after Y2K and hope many of this type happen now).
I had a friend of friend, originally from TN but settled in KL due to his railway job. He & his kids had dark features (perhaps that was the reason for his love for coal / steam engine). He kept mentioning to me of not having enough contacts in TN and thus his difficulty in finding a boy for one of the girls who was in mid-20's. She had kaLaiyAna mugam but karuththa peN (that too thamizhachchi) inside KL getting a match was almost like a kuthiraikkombu.
Well, I mentioned this to my father during one of the phone calls and he told me that there's a malayALi guy - his neighbor - inside TN, looking for a bride from KL. I told him that this girl can speak both tongues, like the boy, and can be a potential match.
I was privileged to attend the marriage of them (and even gave a short speech in MalayaLam) :-) The boy was no MGR but definitely with typical malayALi features. He had his own cottage industry in TN - that he subsequently left behind for the siblings and moved to the girl's town in KL to start their life. I had prayed as much for the girl as my sisters for a happy married life...
About a month back, when talking to my father, he handed his phone to a visitor. Yes, it was the malayALi boy from TN who married the Thamizh girl from KL.
I was so thrilled to hear his happy voice telling me "aNNE, enga poNNu anjAnglAss padikkiRA"
:AnandhakkaNNeer:

With veeNai, flute and tablA accompaniments, SPB's voice takes one to sweet heights! Chocolate factory number, that also brings a kalyANa situation very alive in mind! While the happiness of the situation is apparent, there's also some mild feel of sOgam (strictly IMO)...cannot possibly be called as sOgam, may be one can call it 'poignant'...very interesting number anyways! Vinatha told us that this is a chArukEsi number, is this the typical feel of that rAgam?
Like I mentioned in the plan, I need to include a sad tale with a happy ending in this song's post.
Sad, because this was a case of a guy who suffered paranoia that led to depression and almost ruined his marriage:-( Not only was he a relative but a friend to me in the TFM context, though senior by at least 6-7 years. He was a big lover of kavingar (he once declared : 'padam pAththuttu veLiya vandhadhum angEyE pAttuppusthakam vAngAma keLamba mAttOm'), great fan of KVM & mellisai mannar but didn't like IR that much. I used to have hours of argument with him during my school days on IR-MSV but still loved him as a friend.
He had a master's degree / gov job / very brilliant and married this pAvam girl in the year that I entered college. Her family moved to Trichy area from ilangai during 70's. At the wedding in my dad's village, I made friend with her younger brother who was doing engg and a big MSV-lover also. It was a fun wedding.
Well, due to job situation, the man had to be away from wife - typically meeting during weekends only even during their initial days of family life - but they seemed to be very happy and had two children one by one.
Later, possibly there was extended time periods of the man being away or chemical imbalance or whatever and trouble started...It was during my bachelor days at Palakkad that I came to know about this man furious over his wife (suspicion of fidelity) and trying to get a divorce :shock: The whole family of the girl got depressed over the issue and her brother who was already suffering deep depression -discontinued engg studies- killed himself:-(
It was a mad situation for both the families and the families of their respective married siblings and none could do anything to convince the man :-( Finally, his younger brother's wife - an enterprising lady - took the charge, got proper advice from a mental health clinic plus help from relatives (included my mom) and got him "arrested" to the clinic :clap:
(At that time I didn't know the technique they employed to trap him but later I had to use the same or very similar trick on another guy - an alcohol addict - to bring to deaddiction clinic).
During his "rehab" period, my dad took him to my bachelor room, we went to dam / garden etc and all of us were slowly overcoming the grief that was caused due to his problem. Soon after, when good sense prevailed, it was made sure that he lived with wife and children in the place of employment! Me & my room mate had an interesting long bus trip to his house, carrying a huge new TV on bus for them (we had to unpack to load it into the bus and repack inside the bus to arrest damage :lol:).
After years of strained relationship - well, the lady had to be praised for her patience - they are living happily everafter :-) They had a third child too :-)
Moral of the story - when in doubt, ask!
When in serious doubt, seek medical help!!
ok, we've ended 1989!
Happily for hubbers who are regular visitors to this thread, the year full of kahAnees comes to an end and I promise not to bore anymore with long stories :-)
Time to compile the links :-)
Param,
Yes, it's the same mythological person (who is not seen anymore on the surface of the earth...possibly he is sweet 16 somewhere else) :-)

'rAththiri nEraththil' from anjali
The album had 7 songs and four were by group of kids! Possibly the first such album ever in TFM to have majority of them sung by kids! The other three songs were solos by established singers - SPB / SJ / Usha Uthup doing one each and all had tremendous drum work plus lot of guitar / synth stuff.
The only song that possibly had traditional IR arrangements was anjali-anjali-anjali, with choir-like singing and terrific bass guitar score! My most fav of the album, obviously :-) This was closely followed by the terrific 'motta mAdi motta mAdi' with lovely wind instrument work (and the most interesting one on screen :wink:). 'iravu nilavu' & 'vEgham vEgham' come after that. 'something something' / 'vAnam namkku veedhi' after that.
The "technologically distorted" SPB song is the last & least preferred song of the album for me. However, due to the following factors, the album sold like hotcakes and this song too was getting played everywhere :
-terrific IR-MR combo, after the phenomenal success of agni natchaththiram
-advertised as IR's 500th movie
-all songs except the 'anjali anjali anjali' had trend-setting orchestration / drum work / electronic sounds etc
I got the cassette immediately upon arrival and it got played in the bachelor home all the time, with the neighborhood kids ageing from 3-10 having a terrific time with us. Often we took the children to town, got them ice cream etc and became so lovable to all the "colony" members (about 20 houses off of the highway, mostly occupied by employees of same company / group...most were reasonably young families and ours was the only bachelor home) :-)
Personally, I had great time listening to the cassette and also getting "engaged" in that time period :-) It was also the first movie watched after making the commitment :-)
(Unfortunately, it was a big azhugai movie - uncontrollable flood of tears the first time! Any watch later on in the small screen too typically ends up with tears for me and kEvikkEvi azhal for my wife)
sOdhA (ok ok sAdhA) song for Bala in a landmark album of IR!
Though IR had done around 40 films in Thamizh this year, it appears to be pretty lean for SPB :shock:
I've already skipped many movies(no SPB)...
Well, tomorrow's song will be very remarkable!
A milestone number!
Hmmm....:) Now I understand your less-than-great enthusiasm for soccer. Any other eligible bachelor from Palakkad would have frozen the ponnu parthal during Italia-90 period :)Quote:

I must have missed it when posted before...which is the town sir???
Also I'm amazed you spend 10+ traveling just to spend 10+ hours at home. Perhaps bus journeys were a pleasure those days.

Compare that with the alternative of relaxed ride to Cbe, dinner at Lakshmi complex (or Aarvee etc) , roam around a little bit / get a couple of latest cassettes, watch 2nd show, choose buses with music to reach the town & catch the first town bus in the morning (sleep a couple of hours as necessary - which'll keep one fresh for the whole day) :-)
