I think Kanmani had Netru Vandha Katru sung by IR (which was Karthik Raja's tune for Grahan)
kanmani directed by R.K.Selvamani had prashanth,mohini and subashree(gentleman fame). Netru vandha kaatru , aasai idhayam viriyum, udal thazuva thazhuva, luzla j busla were famous songs.
lakshmi,jaishankar,sujatha were other leads. Film was below avg
only saving grace was music by ir.
lyrics were by vaali & muthulingam
Are there any other movies by Prasanth & Mohini? I remember seeing bits of movie (in Raj TV, I think) with Prasanth and Mohini in srilanka (I think)!
RC, 'unakkagave vaazhigren'?? It had the 'peN venum nalla peN venum ' and 'oh krishna oh krishna raadhai naan' songs(MD: Deva)
Pick # 69:
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/enannai_st.rm
Song: en annai seidha paavam
Film: sumaithaangi
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Music : Viswanathan-Ramamurthy
This is one of the most underrated song of 60s. The song is so obscure that i was aware of its existence only couple of years ago(Thanks to SUNTV kaaviya budhan).
Kannadasan's lyrics and Sjanakis voice makes this song magical. And the picturisation.
After Guru Dutt,I believe Sridhar is the only director who had great visuals in black and white films. The camera angles in his films were brilliant.
Picturisation of today's pick gives you a sad but eerie feeling. The darkness,the mist and devika clad in white saree almost gives a 'pei pada song' feeling.
'sumaithangi' is my favorite Sridhar film. Gemini and Devika came out with a subdued but class performance. Me, an ex-sambhar hater, became his fan after watching this film(and ofcourse punnagai).
I think sumaithangi was produced by PSVeerappa.

Ramki: Sumaithaangi was produced by Kovai Chezhiyan.
Ramki :
I think "Sumaithangi" is having only SJ's voice
solo :
"rAdhaikEtra kaNNano"
"en annai seitha pAvam"
duets:
"mampazhathu vaNdu"
"endhan pArvaiyin kELvikku"
any idea... who is the male singer for this dance song by Kamala ?
"malaiyai padaithavan iRaivan....vAnulagam deiva sugam"
Thanks Raj
Madhu,
was it ALR?
Most of Sridhar's film had atleast one song by SJ. Only Policekaarana magaL and sumaithaangi had all the female songs by her(except porandhaalum in PM)
Ramki
Thanks for the soulful song!
It did get a fair amount of air time even though 'Manithan enbavan Deivamagalam' and "endhan pArvaiyin kELvikku" were better known songs!.
It reminds me of an old Hindi Song, but cannot get pin point the song!
The type of song where SJ rules!!
Thanks Ramki

Good find. Raga seems Hamir kalyani. This is the first time I'm hearing a sad song in this raga. Didn't sound odd at all.
balaji, you might know that this is a popular raga in film songs. Good example in hindi - 'aap yun hi agar' (ek musafir ek hasina). If you sing it in slow tempo (which is more apt for this raga IMO), the similarity is very clear cut.
