Ok, MGR selected good tunes, but it is not his own creation. He just picks one from various tunes made by somebody.

It is not just like thing. You need to have good taste and know the taste of people. And when looking into selecting songs, it is not only selecting one tune from few. It is also about mentioning abt improvement areas in a specific tune, pointing abt lyrics which can be written in a better way. Getting the best out of somebody u need to have a great leadership skills. And MGR was great in that.

Not only off screen MGR's screen presense in Songs and movies are well known.

whether

Naan aanayittaal kind of thathuva songs
Andru vanthathum athae nila kind of peppy numbers with simle and interesting steps
Thottal Poo malarum kind of duet songs..

MGR was a treat to watch.. :thumbsup:

I know u are eager to point out MGR's negatives. FYI.. It had been already several times discussed in the past. You can go throu several other pages before. We are not here to say MGR is best in each and everything. We know his plus points as well as minus points :)

:yes: :exactly: His popularity in TN cant be achieved by anyone either in Film or Political front. :thumbsup:

One of my all time favourite song:

aadaludan paaadalai kaetpathil thaan sugam sugam. I've watched this song on video thousands of time. Eventhough gold is old, gold is still gold. :thumbsup:

Pavam Mr. Jilaba Sir. Avarukke theriyama oru post copy paste seidhu vittu ( Saradha Madam post on Nan en pirandhen ) tamas panraaru

Probably like me , Mr. Jilaba Sir may not have been born during MGR’s period or ANOTHER CASE OF MUZU POOSANIKAI SOTRIL MARAIKKUM CASE

Well, there was a movie by name NAN EN PIRANDHEN which was composed by lesser popular composers SHANKAR GANESH.

4 songs :

1. Nan en pirandhen
2. Naan padum padal
3. Unadhu viziyil enadhu parvai
4. Chitira cholaigale

After this movie, everyone started wondering about SHankar Ganesh combination.

Not only this movie, IDAYA VEENAI was another wonderful album for Shankar Ganesh combo.

Before this NEP and after this NEP, SG had given many hit songs BUT THE ABOVE 4 ARE STILL BEING ADMIRED .

Well we all know who was the KARTA FOR THE SUCCESS OF THOSE SONGS

But those who PRETEND to be ignorant of MGR’s capabilities in music will continue to remain NINCOMPOOPS.

The great Ramamurthy ( of Visvanathan Ramamurthy combo ) recollected one incident about MGR ‘s knowledge on Carnatic music. It was during a marriage function when MGR and TKR sat together while a carnatic musician was singing .
TKR was amazed by MGR’s INDEPTH knowledge on carnatic music and he was bamboozled to see MGR identifying ragas with ease !

I have just posted about Engirundho Aasaigal song. The senior Meastro MSV recollects fondly with words – NAAN SODHANAI ENDRU NINATHATHU INDRU SADHANAIYAGA ELLARUM PESUGIRARGAL.
He was recollecting his golden association with MGR .

Well, THANGA PADHAKATHIN MELE was so peppy and stunning that it inspired none other than ARR !

Mr. Manisegaran had written a wonderful write up about MGR and his songs and how he chose .

For beginners like Mr. Jilaba Sir may kindly r refer to Mr. Manisegaran’s posts about MGR so that he may get enlightened.

ASKING A QUERY LIKE WHETHER MGR KNOWS MUSIC is like asking WHETHER SHIVAJI KNOWS ACTING .

MGR WAS A PROVEN KING ON HIS IMMENSE KNOWLEDGE ON MUSIC

And this was appreciated by VETERANS . :D

u r right. Our people kept a permanent place for MGR. He is not just an actor or politician. :)

"ASKING A QUERY LIKE WHETHER MGR KNOWS MUSIC is like asking WHETHER SHIVAJI KNOWS ACTING . "

Mr.Thirumaran,
Do you agree with this?
