Definitely 2 songs from Chinna Gounder, those two gorgeous from Aavaram poo, Unnai Thottu from Unna nenechaen paattu padichchaen and another one which is very close to me; SOlai malai Oram from Villupaattukkaaran and the hard-hitting Vaanam Thottu from DEvar Magan. Could not come out of the last two till now. In that way it is difficult to pick the winner for #366 in 1992. As we already covered Singaara vElan, if that was not covered earlier, that would be my obvious choice with PudhuchEri KatchEri. If we want to go by the movie hit status as well, then Chinna gounder takes the honors. If considering only the song, tune, singing, orchestration, without the movie hit status, then Aavaram poo (Saami Kitta) is my obvious choice. Always I have some soft corner for Ramarajan songs, in that case, it will be SOlai Malai Oram. See, I told you it is difficult to select a single number for #366. :smile:
If 1993, it is Ejamaan all the way, any song for that matter. I highlighted Adi Raakkumuthu for its grandeur and the most listened song that time.
Wasn't Vikram's meera Released in 1992 ??
V_S - app said he has a story associated with aavarampoo so it has addlk qualification in this thread :)
yov. This and all is too much. I can understand you not hearing 'mannavane' but 'Kumbakkara Thangaiyya' songs you haven't heard? Atleast 'poothu poothu' not heard is unpardonable!!! Even I have heard it!!!Quote:

Finally you got the opportunity to pick on me (it used to be the other way around) :-)
Oh Ithu veriaya ? I thought he was serious.Quote:

I know people may burn me for saying this but 'ennai thottu' is one song I wish SPB had not entered in the second charanam. Swaranalatha is _that_ good in this song!!! So as a SPB song, I would either vote for 'kottu kili' or 'mayiladum thopil'. Ofcourse I have left out the 'bolded' songs :) 'Adukku Malli' is a definite winner for me of that year.Quote:

As the 90's progress, there'll be a lot more. That's why A_S is tracking the "app-missed-listtu" and hopefully younger generation can slAkiththufy such numbers once my musings end :-)Quote:

He is a great fan of these songs. Similarly must get our P_R to write about 'Kumbakkara Thangayya' songs.
Au contraire, Suresh, I am thankful for SpB's timely entry in ennai thottu. Swarnalatha, while possessing the best tone for the song, gets a little suffocating before SPB relieves us with his relieving, fluffy vocals. The light-heavy mix of SPB-Swarna is what makes the song addictive and timeless. Incidentally, the heroine dies of suffocation in the movie.
EquarA? Avaru kaNNAlam kAchchinu settle AyittAru. Indha pakkam Feeyar adhukkAna Ayatham pOla - abscond AyittAru. Namma dhaan ezhudhikkONum...
:thumbsup: That's the beauty of '92. We cannot stop with one. More because of the folk-based stories folk flavors in every song which is very very special compared to other genres. I am now caught up in a web called 'Adi Naan Pudicha kiLiyE' from Raasukutty. A blinder!. :smile:Quote:

So, don't worry about nominating any song from 1993 for this exercise :-)
My original nomination was rAjAthi rAjA un thanthirangaL (of mannan). There seems to be not many takers for that...I don't want to waste my vote and switch to muththu maNi mAlai :-)
With V_Sji, this song now has two votes :wink:
For today, I'll start from a movie that can't possibly be in this selection process (the aruvA DM) :wink:
BTW, me too love the rickshAw mAmA songs - though I've not known previously that those were from that movie :-)
App,
for me also surprise like suresh, because I know suresh is weak on 1992/1993 series.
fine, there is a movie called Magudam. if you have not posted you can give attention to this film songs for SPB.
With 1992 looking so strong :shock:, I think my listing itself will probably touch 400...
As posted before, I won't be posting many songs from the "post-tfmpage" era when it's very difficult to identify whether the song was really a hit or not. (I would have heard based on DF-ers / hubbers talking highly about it ; but the song wouldn't have been known to most TN-ers outside our forum :lol: e.g. kAkkaichchiRakinilE's OranjAram song)

So, can't post about them...
I am telling you..:smile: '93 is not far behind, so many movies and big hits. Even '94 is not bad with around 30 films with big hitters like Mahanadhi, Veera, Raajakumaran, Veetla Visheshanga, MagaLir Mattum, Adhiradhi Padai, Amaithi Padai, Adharmam, Vanaja Girija, Priyanka and many more. Only from '95 onwards we don't see much of SPB, except the ever-green Paattu Paadavaa, '96 - Rettai Roja and Siraichaalai and '97 - Raman Abdullah. He was singing still for IR, but the frequency drastically came down like anything and songs were also not hits. :sad:Quote:

App, avasarappattutteengaLE.. I d have +1ed Rajathi Raja Un ThanthirangaL. MMM is superb too, no worries.
And btw, will you feature, kOttaiyai vittu in the series? I think the movie version has the Uma R + kids version. But the SPB version (albeit a bit song) is a HUGE favorite of mine.
He was there just for song, as he was doing in many films, just song scene before he got himself lead role in Indhu (or was it Kadhalan first?)Quote:

Lead Role. Before that he was the male item number :razz:
Ippo mattum enna - kadaisila he sinks to his level of competency with vaangum panathukku in Dhoni :)
I see. Anyway, while still on the subject, this is for Raghu

Agree, though Swarnalatha is one excellent singer, but IMHO I think she struggles at High octaves, in fact I feel SJ is the only one who does justice at high Octaves amongst the female singers, while SPB is emperor amongst the male singer.Quote:

'sAnthuppottu oru santhanappottu' from dEvar makan
Fast, beatsy song with a variety of country drums deployed - typical of IR's folk scores. SPB handles this with ease, though there's a personal disconnect to me with this number (as in the case of most numbers from this album with the only exception of 'inji iduppazhagi'). Regardless of my appreciation or lack of it for the DM numbers, I'm sure they were big hits all around TN - as was the movie. Per hub discussions, the movie also enjoys a lot of critical acclaim (again much contrary to my personal view but obviously mine is important only to me :lol2:).
Keeping aside my dislike for any 'kAladi maN' businesses and general distaste for blood on-screen, let me write a little on what thoughts get triggered whenever I read about 'dEvar' as related to movies or news reports - as they're a politically powerful community during the last few decades in TN, possibly starting with the success of K MayaththEvar as the first winner of an election ever (interestingly, an "idaiththErthal") for MGR's ADMK, during my school days, from the town near our village.
He did repeat that victory in the post-emergency MP elections from the constituency, when Indira G got defeated in Rae Bareli by Raj Narayanan (who promoted drinking of one's own urine, became a minister in Morarji Desai's cabinet). KMT, the local MP candidate visited our village and I remember shaking my hands with him:-) As my only "political stunt" ever, I did organize a small progression in the village for him - mostly comprising of boys & useless fellows around (unknown to my strict father - what a bayangara act if I look back now) and much to the irritation of my closest childhood friend / classmate of years whose dad was the local communist leader (ofcourse we continued nakam-sathai after this too).
It was just around that time two of my classmates, aNNan-thambi both studying in my class and who were close relatives of the MP (staying in school hostel), became close friends to me as well. The aNNan - who had the typical bengali name associated with the community ("Bose") was an emotional guy (often aNNan-thambi saNdai pOttuttu pEsikka mAttAnga and we used to unite them :lol:)! He used to narrate to me a lot of tales of their relatives. Ofcourse there were some exaggerations but overall it was a chronicle of vettu-kutthu-adi-thadi mostly but presented as veeram-theeram-sAhasam. We were kabadi teammates initially and later his thambi became my badminton team mate for a few years when we had considerable inter-school-tournament successes.
So, whenever I read / hear the 'dEvar' term, these three people come up immediately to mind and though some of my activities / feelings those days look foolish to me now, they form an interesting part of 'not-so-horrible' memories :-)
yeah I did not like santhu pottu that much as well .
btw, wasn't meera released prior to DM ??
App,
Very nice and interesting write-up with your nostalgic touch. :thumbsup:Thanks for posting this song.
I can't resist posting this song which I always love and admire.
I remember arguing about this song with my friends days together, after they trashed it. The songs beauty is the narration. The whole situation is very interesting. Maestro takes unstructured approach which is unique only to Kamal films. Take for Kanmani AnbOdu which starts as a dialogue and seamlessly gets to a song. When we were listening to Kanmani song, my friends were distracted, while I was trying hard to convince them. Same way Mahanadhi bengali song, it will start as some bengali prose and adds tune to that gradually. Many such cases. This one is again such strong case in that approach. Takes a unconventional start and when it gets to charanam, we start to hear the melody. Very juicy melody there.
If you dig the lyrics, it may sound silly, but that's again the beauty of the narration. You can't say it is a complete song, yet you can't say it is only dialogues, very innovative composition by Maestro, but it has the brain of both Maestro and Kamal.
suththa thamizh veeran raththaththula oorum
singa thamizhan thanga thamizhan
eththanayO naadu suththi vandha aalu
budhdhi irukku sakthi irukku
I love those four lines. Then the chorus joins beautifully
Chorus- ooraarum annanaa thambiyaa paarkkum
anbaana ullamdhaan ullavaru
yaaraachchum muttina mOdhinaa pochchu
anjaama kuttuvaar thattuvaaru
Then takes the colloquial version:
oru vaaikkozhuppeduththaa
aduththavan varattizhup pizhuththaa
avan thOl urippavandaa
thamizhachchi paal kudichchavandaa
ada vishayangal pala arinjavan naan
vevarangal pala purinjavan naan
sandaikku vandhaa savaal vitta
thadiyaththaan pudichchiththaan
kai viralila suththura suththula
annaachchi unna naan punnaakku thinnavappaen
Amazing, amazing! :notworthy: Kamal and IR only fossible! Visuals with that almost brown-orange tinge sands with gorgeous landscape behind, it is a treat to both eyes and ears. One of my favorite Kamal song.

Another important example in your list - "Unnai Naan Ariven" from Guna
Every time I hear this song, I feel like getting up dancing as if you are possesed by a spririt!Quote:
