Pick #207

Song: raamanukku mannan mudi
Film: pathu maadha bandham
Singer: PBanumathi
Lyrics: Arunachala kavi
Music: Shankar Ganesh

a semi classical(or mukkaa classical?) song by PB. To my ears the song sounds like 'saamaja vara gamanaa'. PB's voice sound a little strained but she does sing the song very well and in her own style(I like the way she comes back to pallavi after the swaras in the end).
'Pathu maadha bandham' also had a lengthy english song by PB. She sings and venniradai nirmala dances for the song. First line anyone?
I think Muthuraman was the hero.
Another song from PMB is 'edhai ketpadho edhai solvadho' by AMR and Jikki

Thanks for the Varalakshmi song followed by another actress singer PB's song

The song goes something like 'Let me sing, Let me cry when I am Blue.....". Wasn't there another solo by PB, Irandu Thaikku Oru Magal in PMB?

Ramki: It is classical in HindhoLam as Samaja vara gamana. It is from Arunachala Kavi's Rama natakam. Bhanumathi has sung other classical pieces in movies.

One of my favorite songs in Hindolam. Good show by PB with nice briga's.

Music by SG-yaa?!! That would really be a surprise.

Ramki:

1. In Kavari maan, it was Ravichandran who played that secret man associated with Pramila. Not Premkumar. Sivaji's one of the best movies, in my opinion. There is an excellent KJY's calssical song for Sivaji (anybody remembers this?). Vijayakumar also acted as Sivaji's youngest brother, paired with Swarna (Pattina Pravesam fame).

2. PMB's star cast is really big, introduced by Subramanyam Chettiar (producer). Most of his films were like that. AVMR+SD+Rajasri; SD later marries Muthu?? (not sure); Ravichandran+VA Nirmala.

PB did act in heavy roles in quite a few films after PMB.

Poo maalai ondru is a good melody for SD + Rajasri.

Another TMS+PS duet like Chithooru mAmi koothAda vanthAlam for RC+VAN.

A smash hit of late 70's. I heard that there was two huge cut-outs for PB and SD in wellington theatre, where there no such for the 3 heroes.

1. Are you referring to Bravo Barama by KJY, vijayr had also mentioned this. Who can forget the Poopola song from that movie.

2. PMB - A smash hit of late 70's?? Are you sure.
I believe this movie must have released in 73-74 when I used to hear the songs in MADRAS A/Ceylone... I saw the movie in Narayanaswamy Theatre in Virudhunagar

Bala

Another song in Kavari Maan was "Angel, I see only you". Just heard it. SPB freaks out.
