Topic started by Ramki (@ 68.69.214.196) on Fri Nov 19 19:49:35 EST 2004.
Often we listen to songs that we feel deserves more appreciation or we discover songs that somehow escaped the attention of listeners or were masked by other popular songs from the same movie.The joy of sharing such discoveries with others could be boundless.
This thread is going to do exactly that.
Songs we host could be really rare or not so rare. We are not limiting to just hosting them.
Many of the songs will be analyzed in detail by carnatic vocalist Mrs Charumathi M.
We are going to start with one song a week. We will try our best to upload the songs in tfmpage but in rare occassions we might just give you the song link.
Finally, if you feel you have a song that you want to share it with rest of us or if you want us to load a particular song, please let us know and we will try our maximum best to meet your request. You can reach us here .

The original Jaganmohini starring Jayamalini, Narasimharaju, Prabha and others is a classic. Jayamalini was still in shape and exposed no less than three-quarters of her skin throughout the film. Animals and kuttichathans provided entertainment to children. The film was a huge success in both Telugu and Tamil(dubbed).

mOhanamARA (Maya Kuthirai)
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/pow07/imag...kuthirai01.jpg
Pick #982
Song: mOhanamARA
Film: Maya Kuthirai
Music: Ghantasala
Lyrics: ?
Singer: ?
Year: 1949
Maya Kuthirai starred Anjalidevi and A.Nageswara Rao in the lead. When the beautiful young Anjalidevi started playing lead roles in Telugu cinema in the mid to late 40s she became very famous very quickly. Soon she was imported into Tamil cinema and would be a top star in Tamil cinema too for many years to come. Same as the Hindi film industry Tamil film industry never hesitated to import talented beauties from non-Tamil regions even as early as the mid 1930s (Asvathamma, M.V.Rajamma, S.Varalaskhmi, Shantha Apte, ...). Maya Kuthirai was dubbed from the hit Telugu film Keelugurram. Anjalidevi played a vamp in this manthra-thanthra-mayajala film.
Today's pick was probably considered very modern in its time. It has a clear influence of the 1940s Hollywood. The song, the dance sequence and the fashion (hair and clothes) were all influenced by the 1940s Hollywood.
Is the singer MLV? Someone fill in, please.
