Another SPB song from the same movie that I've heard only a few times - mostly during bus travels. Unlike the previous song that I've heard a few times on radio, I don't remember hearing this number ever otherwise. Sounds nice, with SPB throwing in appropriate emotions (there are actually two version on thiraippAdal - both having the same melody but different orchestration / tempo etc and possibly for two different situations in the movie).
Isn't it the song with contains the word "pOtri padadi penE Devar kaladai amnE " If so this is indeed a very nice song. SPB in full Navarasams !Quote:

Ah I just noticed this now, yes Rajathi Raja un mandirangal and Gumthalakadi were good, but I liked the other one with Rajni and VS , I think it is called Manar MannanerE enaku kapankattu nee ! I guess these songs went unnoticed due to the fact KJY's "amma endru " over shadowed the rest ?Quote:

BTW, Vaanam Thottu POna is one killer of a song, once I start listening, it is too difficult to come out of it.
(Time to keep my mouth shut and not state here that I haven't heard 'Raajathi Raja Un Thandhirangal' more than once or twice!!! illena pichichiduvaanga pichi)
Thevar Magan - my first as a firm kamal camper.( Mmkr was in the trigger phase.) Shaded only by Hey Ram among Kamal movies, and Udhiri Pookkal in TF history. Earlier in the year, Annamalai was the final thalai-muzhukku from opp. camp, and having entered college, away from the influence of sandiyar son, head of the school rajini camp, beginning of the long walk away from RK camp. With the zeal of a new convert and the inside knowledge of the emotional weak points of edhiri camp, collegela edhiri camp-ai dhwamsam dhaan. And as if to facilitate, Rajini released Pandiyan...luckily, ours was a non-violent college so vaai dhaan mooladhanam - brawn had no role play. Illaina hub-la vijay fans-ai bait panna uyiroda irundhirukka maatten - avlo veRi thAkkudhal of edhiri mugaam.

'nadanthAl iraNdadi' from semparuththi
Very sweet SPB number with the necessary ingradients one expects from IR - lovely melody & sugamAna pinnaNi isai (note - tablA). I'm oblivious to the thaththuvams in most IR songs and so the lyrics are not paid any attention. As long as they are neither irritable nor jarring to the ears, I'm ok with them :lol2:
The first time I heard this song was during a visit to Chennai around the time this movie got released. They showed another song on oliyum-oLiyum which had sea waves on screen and I enquired my cousin (who had been written about a lot in this thread during earlier posts) about the movie / songs. He had and played the cassette. This song stayed in my mind and none other at that point of time. I loved this number instantly!
Sometime later, one of our senior engineers at workplace was talking a lot about another song from this movie that he loved. He was insistent that I pay attention to it. So much so that he recorded the prelude of that song on EPROM chips as the "music on hold" for the PABX in our workplace. (And, he was not a very proclaimed IRF while I was). Feeling embarassed, I decided to give the song a listen the same day and he gave me the cassette. I loved the prelude then but didn't care for the rest of the song. It was years later that I somewhat liked that SJ-Mano number (nilAkkAyum nEram saraNam) and played many times during drives.
I've never had a chance to watch this debut movie of Roja (wife of the director of this movie - R K Selvamani, a proclaimed HCIRF) who is a small-time politician in AP now. Possibly the debut for Prashanth (s/o Thiyagarajan) as well.
No no - Prashant debuted with vaigaasi porandhaachu under Deva's baton. It was Roja's debut alright. RK Selva acquired Roja with this movie but lost his hit-producing capacity forever. Everything fine with the album - barring the assault of Nagoor Babu on our ears, ably assisted by veteran assaulter Bhanumathy. Despite this double barrel attack, Chitra and Raja save sembaruththi poovu, a measure of their talent. What a cruel joke - 4 of the best songs to faramu's friend and 1 vengala kiNNam to Balu. What was IR thinking?
Chalakku chalakku sEla - the best song in the album. Mano is not bad in it, is he? In fact, he is good :isitjustme:
nanRi Plum, for the Prasanth debut info :-)
Got some more vetti time today and let me post another 1992 hit (that may not have too many supporters to be voted for #366)...
Blasphemy alert: Rajadhi raaja un thandhirangal - the 2nd charanam spoils it (percussion)

'kottukkALi kottu' from chinnavar, with KSC
Very enjoyable and melodious song from the Prabhu movie. Both SPB & KSC in excellent form making the song so sweet. IR lets the orchestration part simple and mostly on a support mode and it goes well with such numbers. Best to listen in the bed in night IMO.
This movie has a significant song - andhiyilE vAnam - sung by Mano & Swarnalatha with that great special first interlude! My memory fails now - it was either 91 deepAvaLi or 92 pongal that DD had a special program on rAsA. It featured many artists talking highly about IR. Mano was one of them and he sang a few lines of 'thooLiyilE Ada vandha vAnathtu min viLakkE' of CT and exclaimed 'engE pOnAlum indhappAttu dhAn sAr' and expressed his nanRikkadan to rAsA. There was BR who showed a mudhal mariyAdhai scene with and without BGM etc.
In that program, they showed the recording of that particular andhiyilE vAnam first interlude when giving the viewers a glimpse of what goes on in the theater of rAsA. They didn't play the song's lines however, and one had to wait to find out:-) That piece alone got played multiple times and got firmly etched in my mind! I refused to have a TV during all my stay in Palakkad but this program was caught by a friend on VHS and he played to me on the same night, when we were invited to dine with them. It was a fantastic moment for me - in those days of no cable TV / no sat network etc, to have an almost hour long program on IR from Chennai tholaikkAtchi! (Available via KodaikkAnal antenna in Palakkad).
Those were wonderful times - whenever I visited the colony where my old bachelor home was, we had to visit more then a few homes before we could leave, as most were co-workers who insisted on giving some refreshment or other. It was around that time the 'Olaththumbaththu' was a rage in Kerala (pappayude swantham appoos - a Fazil / Mammootty / Shobana movie) and one could overhear that song being played in one home or other all the time. There was even a cover story on IR in manOramA that started with that pAdal varikaL. rAsA really riding high in 1991-92 - just prior to the time some vested interests succeeded in sidelining him.
Back to chinnavar - I love the kumbal fun song 'kadalOrakkavidhaiyE' also. I don't know anything else about the movie though (what story, hit or not etc)!
Well, chinnavar song was the #350 - a small milestone :-)
For #366, the current nominations are :
rAjAthi rAjA un thanthirangaL (2.5) - Nerd, jai, app
muththu maNi mAla (1.5) -V_S, engine
sAmi kitta (1) -Plum
Let's see what other songs come up and who votes for them...

But you can't take away the beauty from KottukkaLi mainly for the free-flowing tune right from the word 'Go', while others have that staggered start, even though they are beautiful in their own way. SPB is SPB, not match for him. Surprisingly, the other songs were more famous that time compared to this one. The fun and excitement of getting these cassettes and watching these films are gone. Mainly loved to watch these village subjects (almost all ramarajan films, prabhu films like chinnavar, chinna maaple, senthamizh paattu, some rajini/kamal/vijayakanth films, other films like idhu namma bhoomi, chinna thaayee, deiva vaakku, aranmanai kiLi...let me stop here, the list is huge) with those breezy 'themmaangu' songs. Lot of films like these came those days, which were watchable with family. We were totally engrossed in them. I still could not understand how people forgot him, having given everything he got. We will never get such melodies today.
App, you got a very good memory :thumbsup:. Yes, after reading your post I too remember that DD program showing the recording of AndhiyilE Vaanam and we were discussing about that hours together. What a wonderful moment that was! Very nice to read your memories that time.
This movie has one more gem "ellorukkum sollum paattu" by SPB.Quote:

venkki,
I voted that Marupadiyum song (Nalam Vaazha) for #366 which App was going to host from 1993 films, but now it is dropped as he is going to host #366 from 1992 films itself. Yes, ellOrum sollum paattu is a great gem and love watch that song visually even compared to Nalam Vaazha. '93 is another big list.
I am OK with this song winning too. But SJ pwns SPB in this. SJ's muthumaNiyE is inexplicably serene. Hate HATE the video (save for aNNan) and that has taken some shine off this song, for me.Quote:

Nay, he rules from the start, just his vocal and then repeat of first line with tabla = heaven.repeats again and again, like keep reassuring her that everything's alright, and convinced, she starts Muthumaniye....lovely, lovely.
By the by, I forgot the movie completely except for that lion's mane masquerading as Nassar's moustache. Is aNNan also the bad guy here?
Out of these, Muthu Mani Maala has an edge for me (in spite of Suseela's terror!). Vera enna choice nu nyabagam varamaattengudhu :oops:
Vennki, nagoor babu = Mano. I have no problem with Hanifa's natta nadu kadal. IR's kadalula ezhumbaRa was my favourite - sort of homage to MSV's tharai mEl piRakka vaiththaan. I am not going to credit Mano for the appeal of the other songs - Raja takes the credit with Chitra sharing it for chembaruthi poovu, which needed chitra's support for Raja, as it had additional programming by Bhanumathy.
App - count half a vote from v_s for saami kitta.
Kottukkali songukku ivvalavu aatharavu. The song not even a hit and I think it is a Saathaa song. let me chect it. Sembaruthiyula one of my fav is mansoor alikhan song
