NeelD thanks for a unique pick.
SJ redefines the way a sensuous number should be rendered. Gosh!!! There is just no replacement for her. Just hear the way she does yodelling so effortlessly!!! I used to long to hear "naan aadinaal" as I had heard may be only a couple of times as a kid.
I would like to hear another obscure SJ solo "idhu viLakketrum neram" from a 70's movie "Thalai prasavam" . I have heard it only once in my childhood.
Hi Neel..
hearing after so many years... wow !
the sirkazhi/LRE song is "kAnchiyile oru buddhan piRandhAn".
Rathnamala was Shivaji's another wife, I just read this from Today's Dinamalar Friday Cinema page. Is it true???
Thanks Jack, Meera, mythila and madhu. "nAn AdinAl" is one of my favorite SJ songs too. I was happy to have found it recently. I will be on the lookout for the "thalai prasavam" song.
sss, any useful information in Dinamalar? :)
Pick #487
Song: vaLarpiRai enavE
Film: Rendum Rendum Anju
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singer: Mano
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1988
Though a decent singer Mano gets trashed a lot unfortunately due to his perceived lack of originality. I don't think he got to sing that many good songs in TFM. Today's song is not a very unique composition either. Gangai Amaran and other MDs have composed many similar tunes. But still, it is a happy song welcoming new life, the instrumentation is pleasant and the song is nice to hear.
"Rendum Rendum Anju" starred Sarathbabu, Ambika, Chandrasekar and many others. It was supposedly a thriller. Ambika has premonitions of bad things happening and she prevents her husband Sarathbabu from doing anything, going anywhere and annoys the hell out of him... and the people watching the film feel just the same. "vaLarpiRai" is the only good thing (okay, somewhat) in the film. Sarathbabu sings to his pregnant wife Ambika.

Neel,
Good pick! Raga sounds like Malayamarutham.
I thought there is one more good (???) song by KSC, I may be wrong.
'panner poovin paarvaiyil kaNNeer kOlam yEn'.
FM: ippadi edhunaa paatu pOtta thaan ettipaakuradhu-nu mudivu pannirukkeengaLA?
RR,
Thank you. I don't know much about ragas. But Malayamarutham is very pleasant.
From Mars,
On the first go, I liked and remembered only the vaLarpiRai song. May be KSC song is good too. I should have paid more attention.
RC,
neengaLum adikkadi ettip paarungaL :-)
I saw this movie for abt an hour, but could n't sit thru. A good song. KSC song gyabagamae vara mattenguthu.
