Without the golden voice of TMS , I wonder whether the 2 giants Nadigar Thilagam and Makkal Thilagam would have reached this far ! I mean, still they would have achieved success but it was TMS who had been instrumental in giving maximum impact to their acting. Without songs, our tamil film industry ( why tamil, the entire Indian film industry ) cannot survive……as through songs only, powerful thoughts are being conveyed to the audience………… TMS LIVED AND BREATHED LIKE SHIVAJI AND MGR. Right from THOOKU THOOKI , the great singer had given precise voice modulation for both and I wish to pick some special ones which had deep impact on us :
1. SINDHANAI SEI MANAMAY :
From Ambigapathi …..Just observe the body language of Shivaji and the modulation when TMS moves from a normal level to high pitch. Terrific variation when he sings….Andhagan varumbodhu avaniyil yaar thunai …..
2. MULLAI MALAR MELAY :
Indeed another splendid song . A pure kaanada ragam based composition and TMS at his best , giving on dot impression as if Shivaji sang this song !
3. PONAAL POGATTUM PODAA :
A totally crestfallen Shivaji , having lost his dear wife , screaming uncontrollably and venting his frustration through power packed meaningful song realizing the harsh realities of life….
4. YAAR ANDHA NILAVU :
From the movie Shanti, altogether different song, a sort of western type and TMS once again comes up with his best for Shivaji. This was one song which TMS was reluctant initially as it had some western resemblance but came out outstandingly well ultimately.
5. PONNAI VIRUMBUM BOOMIYILAY :
TMS echoes the love and bondage between loving life partners. You can clearly hear the fondness of Shivaji over Sarojadevi as she acts a care taker of a handicapped husband with all the care and devotion
6. ANDHA NAAL NYABAGAM NENJILAY VANDHADHEY :
From Uyarndha manidhan, TMS ran full length and breadth of the recording studio to give the impact of Shivaji singing the song after a brief jogging ! Such was his commitment to the success of the song and no wonder it was a super hit and even now , its being seen and listened to with awe !!
TMS laughs , cries, sheds tears, talks like Shivaji !! great presentation.
7. PALOOTI VALARTHA KILI :
A unique song which TMS sang on watching the previous recording which was sung by MSV ! You can hear the stress that TMS gives to each every word and breathes fire all through the song…venting the frustration of a Father who feels let down by his son ….
8. AMMAMAA THAMBI ENDRU NAMBI :
From Rajapart rangadurai, TMS echoes the emotions of a poor stage play artist who longs for love and affection out of his family members
9. POOMAALAYIL OR MALLIGAI :
An evergreen duet song for dedicated Shivaji fans ! ask any Shivaji fan and this song will come under top 10 on romantic moods of Nadigar thilagam
10. PAATUM NAANAY BHAVAMUM NAANAY :
Splendid rendition, TMS breathed like Shivaji in this song ! Naan asaindhaal asaiyum agilam ellamay….arivai manidhaa un aanvam peridhaa ! vow …unforgettable lyrics….
11. AAHAA MELLA NADA MELLA NADA :
This is another song reserved for hardcore Shivaji fans as he will be at his romantic best with Sarojadevi
12. ENGAY NIMMADHI :
You will not get a better song than this when it comes out echoing your frustration when the whole world goes against you and you have little hopes of survival …what a terrific song by TMS !! only TMS can give such an impact
13. ISAI KETTAAL PUVI ASAINDHAADUM :
From the movie Thavapudhalvan, a reminiscent of the great Tanzen, a lovely song through which TMS makes the candles lit and its another Nadigar thilagam special for you !
14. VANDHA NAAL MUDHAL :
A very meaningful song, Shivaji sings while riding on a bicycle….being heard extensively even today.
15. ENNAI YAAR ENDRU ENNI ENNI NEE PAARKIRAI
From the one and only Paalum pazamum, TMS expresses the feelings of a husband dearly missing his old life partner
16. PAAR MAGALAY PAAR :
The song is so striking ….. echoes the heartburn emotions of a Father who is crestfallen for having lost his dear dear daughter ……
17. AVAL PARANDHU PONAALAY :
Once again, its paar magalay paar only, this time, more striking ……Just listen when TMS takes over from PBS with the words….aval enakkaa magal anaal …..naan avalukku magan aanen ….splendid rendition….
18. KANN EDHIRAY THONDRINAAL
From Iruvar ullam, Nadigar thilagam exchanges thoughts on the most ideal woman that he came across in his life
19. CHELLA KILIGALAAM PALLIYILAY :
Along with a fleet of children , Nadigar thilagam acts as a care taker and dear uncle , making them sleep …..another gem of a song from TMS
20. YAARADEE NEE MOHINI :
A suave Parthiban character , an interesting Villain portrayed by Nadigar thilagam in Uthama puthiran and TMS is on dot here…..the voice will be filled be youth …youth …youth….
21. DEVANAY ENNAI PAARUNGAL :
Every Christmas / Good Friday, this song appears by default ! actually , TMS was not called for …for the English phrases that appear in between …after experimenting with various singers from his group, Mellisai Mannar came back to TMS himself and he completed with aplomb….
22. MUTHUKALO KANGAL :
From Nenjirukkum varai, another song known for lyrics and splendid rendition …..Sandhitha velayil sindhikka veyillai …thandhu vitten yennai…. an evergreen melody
23. MALARNDHU MALARAADHA PAADHI MALAR POLA
You need any other song to convey fondness between two blood relations…a brother and a sister…….just listen to the lyrics…kannin mani pola…maniyin nizal pola…kalandhu pirandhomadaa….indha mannum kadal vaanum maraindhu mudindhaalum marakka mudiyaadha daa…..uravai pirikka mudiyaadhadaa……
TMS goes into a very base level to sing this part....
24. MAGAARAJAN ULAGAI AALUVAAN
From Karnan, its another beauty for Shivaji…… indha karnanukku mattum enna idhayam illayaa ?? TMS poses questions….
25. AGARA MUDHALA EZUTHELLAM ARIYA VAITHAI DEVI
From Mahakavi kalidas, this movie is another landmark for Nadigar thilagam....... a dumb Kalidas suddenly opening out with flurry of words and look at the dedicated effort by TMS in this song !
Music directors, from time to time, experimented with other great singers like KJY, SPB, AMR but none could match with the vocals of Nadigar thilagam precisely like that of TMS’s
For Shivaji, TMS was like unsaid rule for loooooong…. As age caught up with Shivaji, so also for TMS….. IR had to resort to Malaysia Vasudevan who tried his best to match in the 80s…..
TMS’S VOICE WAS LIKE AN OXYGEN TO A NADIGAR THILAGAM SONGS
balaji,
One more excellent post :D
Balaji,
A great list of songs from Sivaji and TMS Combination. I love all these songs. A small correction - the song 'Agara mudhala Ezhuthellam ...' is from the film 'Saraswathy Sabatham' just after able to speak Sivaji sings the song in praise of Saraswathy. I don't know whether MKKalidas a song with the lyric start 'Agara ...' :wave:
Kalnayak
You are correct... Agara mudhala is from SS only... I think Malarum vaan nilavum is from mahakavi kalidas .......
Thanks for pointing out....
Superb posts balaji....keep this thread alive....let the flow continue.
the song also has each line starting with a, aa,e,ee, u, uu etc. Imagine the greatness of the poet.APN would have taken just 4 or 5 angles with NT sitting down and the full song gets over....no gimmicks...just plain good lyrics, plain good music, plain good singing and plain good acting.
Another song from a mythological "thiruvilayadal"........"paartha pasumaram, padithuvitta...." the philosophy of life in such simple words...no "nokias" and "strawberrys" and singers singing in totally bad tamil.For people who love NT, the tolerance level goes down when we hear tamil being murdered.TMS was not a tamilian, by birth he was a Saurashtrian...he mastered the accent....why can't there be proper training in pronounciation.Sorry for digressing......."eesan potta kanakku maravillai, poi vizhuntharu"...
mr.mohanram.....why dint shivaji do movies in his 60's like deniro or al pacino or others...only devar mahan to prove his talent!
nobody offered him or he dint do the roles which doesnt fit his status?
he could have been utilized...what a performance in devar magan...
