Very interesting write-up App on watch tale! :smile: How come you remember the cost of your watch so accurately, after years?.Quote:

My dad, same. Since he worked in the field those days, the watch part would be white when he removes it. My first fifth standard examination gift was a watch, fake leather strap.Quote:

Like I mentioned before, this is one of those unique things that are closely remembered ("senti") (like SSLC marks, "MPC%" of HSC etc) :-)Quote:

It had the ink smudged on the rank box and 1 looked like 3 :-( I had to explain in detail how much mark difference was there between the 1st (445), 2nd (366) and 3rd (355) to my appA to convince him. (He knew it but still was playing around with me, the class sir was his badminton pal...unfortunately, per my recent phone call home, that sir with such a beautiful handwriting & great badminton skills had recently been paralyzed after a stroke)
2. Money had a lot more value and this was a huge amount. Some comparisons : Bus charges to go from village to town was 35 paisA (Rs 0.35) and in less than 10 rupees I could reach granpA's home, which the buses took >3 hours those days. Even 4 years later, my first month's mess bill was < Rs 200 at REC (the watch happened in 1977, "A" mess bill was in 1981). For that matter, the whole engg edu expenses for 4+ years was less than Rs 20K (all -even pocket money -included). On a direct number-number comparison, JUST THE COST OF BOOKS for 1st semester of my son is bigger than that :lol2:
end-dig
That is the difference between writing a "chiththirappAvai" & dhinathanthi news columns:-)Quote:

Perhaps the only IR-BR album from which I've never played a single song in a personal player ever :shock: (Except of course the thiraippAdal playback on PC for this thread's sake). I had even 'vAlibamE vA vA' songs played on personal cassette players ('pon vAnappoongAvil' & 'azhagE unnaikkonjam' got played frequently during college hostel days). Actually, I didn't even know until recently that these songs belonged to this movie. Interestingly, I was very familiar with songs at the time of their arrival itself - thru public address systems (buses / village marriages). karuththa machchAn, poo pooththa sOlai & chittAn chittAnkuruvi were heard many times and were instantly recognized as rAsA songs but I've never realized that those were from a BR movie and not bothered to check as well :oops:
Though there was some noise about BR coming back to his 'uyirththOzhan', I wasn't amused and the apathy only increased when that movie / songs didn't have decent reach - definitely not like what IR-BR songs of the prior era had. (I must confess that recently I developed a strong love for 'kuyilukkuppam' - what a phenomenal KSC number!). Those were possibly the reasons for me not to pay any attention to this movie / album.
This song is a gem, however, with SJ at top form and well supported by our thread nAyakar. So are the other two hit numbers. Though not in the range of KK & prior albums, this album has it own limited charm. (However, not one song can even match the 'kuyilukkuppam' standard...but then rAsA was not obliged to give his creamy layer to BR anymore!)
Suganya -who was among the audience of IR's recent Chennai concert and got focussed a few times on the Jaya TV show - did her debut in this movie. Also the Trichy politician (now a central minister) Napolean acted for the first time in this movie it seems.
So, two more BR introductions who went on to achieve some fame on celluloid. I'm surprised he didn't change the name of Suganya into something starting with R :lol: (Radhika, Rathi, Rohini, Radha, Revathy, Ranjani, Rekha, Ranjitha are some of his R intros; however, Suganya is not the only exception - there were Aruna, Vijayashanthi, Subadhra...)
App anna,
Have you seen this song before ? One of IR and SPB's Gem :)

App,
One quick question. Is puthu nellu puthu naathu a 1990 film?. I remember seeing it in 1991 when it was released. Even IMDB, wiki says so. En Uyir ThOzan was in 1990.
Good question - as you can see from my post, I didn't even notice the movie coming & going those days :-)Quote:

al_gates,
I can't see the image now, will check when I reach home and comment...
I think there are only three more songs for this thread from 1990...from the movies 'nadigan' & 'ooru vittu ooru vandhu'...
ok, there's a small (rather big) change...
Some web resources state that kizhakku vAsal was a 1990 movie...(thiraippAdal counts that under 1992)... Is that so? Then we have a few more numbers...
Pnpn - 1991. Kvaasal - probably 90. Kvaasal kkanmani anjali came in quick succession
Yes Kizhakku Vaasal was in 1990. May be thiraipaadal got year of some films wrong.
Coming to BR-IR break-fix session, IR had totally changed his approach in the next three BR movies, including PNPN. It was totally different and great experience. Poo Poo Poo and other songs in this movie are no way inferior, even though there is not much SPB in these movies. Karutha machhan (SJ, no words there) and chittaan chittaan are enough to take on several other songs quite deservingly. Sameway, Nadodi thendral. Naadodi Thendral is one the best, if not the best BR-IR movie in terms of music (IMHO), even though we have some minor casualties. :smile: Tunes and orchestration are memorable.
I guess this is the only movie which had the most number of new faces in terms of even the supporting cast, apart from the hero-heroine. Suganya-Raghul - (hero, heroine), Rudra, Ashok (2nd pair), Renuka - Ponvannan (parents), Napolean (villain) and probably two more, which I could not recollect.Quote:

Pudhu Nellu Pudhu sapling - Diwali 1991(with dalapathi, guna etc)
Ennuyir Thozhan - Feb 15 '90
Plum has nailed the years plumb in front(sorry!). I drafted a post earlier in the week but it was not auto-saved for some reason. In my observation of the 80's, usually 6 to 9 months is the average life of a chartbuster song those days. So even though Raja had like 9 albums releasing for Diwali 89, the frequently heard ones were from movies like Peculiar Brothers and Varsham-16 released in the summer. It was only around Feb 90 that I heard Vetrivila and Karagattakaran songs(good 3 months after their release) while traveling around in the city.Quote:

The summer of 90 had us focussing on the soccer world cup. Tamil New year 90 had no major IR album but it gave Pudhu Vasantham. The 2nd half of '90 started with Kizhakkuvaasal, Mounam Sammadham getting lot of time on Oliyum Oliyum. Even though Keladi kanmani was released on the same day as Kizhakkuvaasal, it took about a month before people started noticing Mannil Indha or Nee Paathi naan paathi. But this is just my perception, since I was not the kind to read Vikatan or other tamil mags :)
In my area, Sundari Neeyum was the most heard of song in the 2nd half of 1990. It remained so till Chinnathambi came along in Apr 91.
And yeah, Sep 90 had India go to the Beijing Asian games where India turned in a terrific performance(1 gold to China's 183, thanks to our national sport Kabbadi).
No, it was a milk-white dial (no shine) with a black circle having the "scale marks" :-)Quote:

Scintillating 90's ....
:bow: App sir, for your stupendous write ups... So fast the 80's has finished. And as the 90's moving on,,,it's kinda sad though...
the number of songs are decreasing....
Nice going !!! Thanks :)
Pudhu Nellu Puthu Nathu was released in March 1991 and not during Deepavali '91. En Uyir Thozhan was 1990. Nadodi Thendral was April 1992. After this BR-IR combo separated and then came BR's Captain Magal and Kizhakku Seemaiyile in 1993, Karuthamma in '94, Pasum Pon in '95, Thamizh Selvan IPS in '96 and Taj Mahal on deepavali day of 99 [after which I, rather everybody lost interest in his movies].

#326 எங்கே நிம்மதி நிம்மதி என்று தேடிப்பார்த்தேன்
(நடிகன், 1990)
'engE nimmadhi nimmadhi enRu thEdippArththEn' from nadigan
An interesting SPB solo from a Sathyaraj movie (possibly a loLLu kind, with gounder in cast) that I've heard a few times on buses and other PA systems. I don't know for sure whether this movie was a big hit or this song got played all around TN at the time of arrival. However, going purely by my "involuntary-listening-for-a-few-times-at-least" criteria, this song makes it to this thread.
Honestly the song didn't automatically play in my mind when I saw the listing on thiraippAdal and I was wondering whether this was a 'remix' of the TMS-MSV-TKR classic from pudhiya paRavai. There was even a mild indication in the prelude that it could be. However, when SPB starts off, I recognized the song immediately as something familiar from the past :-) A typical rAsA number which cannot be called a "100% pathos" but one that carries a variety of emotions - both by melody / singing and the orchestration. (Who cares what is written as lyrics for rAsA songs and songs like these only help to enhance such apathy)!
Anyday I will take Murali Sir's data instead of cinesouth.com (from which I got the release dates) :smile2:Quote:

Sorry guys, Taj Mahal was 1999 Deepavali release along with Mudhalvan. While I was thinking it of as 99 movie, I wrote 97. Still remember somebody known to my friend [who had come along with me for watching Mudhalvan on that Deepavali day] bashing that movie while waiting for the evening show of Mudhalvan to start. Probably I could understand, that he seeing the combo of BR-MR-ARR went with lot of expectations and that did him.
Thanks V-S, Al-gates and app.
