Great going App! No words to describe your dedication. :notworthy: :clap: Very interesting reads, everyone. 1992 is a very special year for indian music. It is not a mean achievement at all crossing 1 year and having so much views and replies touching 400 pages. One of the best thread in our hub. :thumbsup: Thank you sirji! :D
thanks to A_E we can now show yet another proof of quantity without losing quality of Raaja.
One full year of awesome songs!!!
nanRi V_Sji & jaiganes, for your kind words!
Tomorrow's song will be from a R Sundarrajan movie that I've not seen (and that I didn't know it was his until recently :oops:)...
...Mrs.Fruit-you-god...
App - It should actually be Mrs#2.Fruit-You God!!
Does the story of Valli has any sort connection to the mythological Valli's story? (I have never seen this movie)
The movie has the impeccable "aagayathaamarai" sung by raaja and s.janaki.
Other unimpressive song includes keerthanai form of vanamellam.
This movie was one more raaja chellam and ex villain sangili murugan production.
Movie was directed by cinematographer n.k.viswanadhan.who recently directed jaganmohini.
One also remembers this song by the oddest ways to play musical instruments by Charlie and co.
All because of your dedication and hard work!!! When I started this thread I never thought of it reaching 400, it was stuck on 10 odd pages, it was just me and baroque (vinatha) who frequently posted, but with your additon you took this to thread another level :thumbsup: :clap:
App: My choice for #366 is Samikitta Solla from AP. As compared to Mannan song (which's also my favourite) or CG song that got noticed because of the stars involved (RK, VK et al), this song IMHO became a hit only because of IR (along with the soothing voices of SPB & SJ) and for me, this is some thing very special about IR (motivation to compose outstanding songs (& BGMs) for all his movies and not just big starrers). There are countless examples for this and on the flip side, it has ensured that we have to be quite courageous to watch most of the videos for all these unforgettable songs.
App: Please don't exclude the two melodies from VP (Kalaivaniyo, Solaimalai) and the two unforgettable songs from EA (Thulli Thirinthathoru, Chinnan Chiru).
DD aired IR program on 1991 deepavali day (in which clippings from Chinnavar movie song sung by NB were shown).
On the lighter note, missed songs list has suddenly grown (4 times in size for sure) very quick like a T20 innings :-D
So including the missed songs, we will probably touch 500.
On NB topic, guess Param's favourite movie is SV :)
Surprised to note that App didn't make a mention of this (NB in SV) while covering the three songs of that movie.

Blasphemy alert: Mayilaadum from CPN is a boring song,and more importantly not a hit.
kOttaiyai vittu - Hugely underrated (all 3 versions). I mean they were hits alright the time it was released but was almost forgotten. And thanks to Sarkunam for using that song in kaLavaani :thumbsup:
And app, congrats on yet another milestone. Great thread, great posts, great memories and nostalgic (even for a I am a young like me) :bow:
nanRi Param & Nerd, for your kind words!
A_S,
nanRi for keeping track :-) I didn't quickly get some of your abbreviations but will possibly understand when I reach those movies. (I got who NB is, however :lol2:)
New vote tally for #366 :
rAjAthi rAjA un thanthirangaL (I wrongly assumed it was SJ because my periyammA was singing it in kitchen so enthusiastically often, even thiraippAdal says so, but original sounds like Swarnalatha)
- 2.5 (no new votes)
muthu maNi mAlai (PS briefly struggles but overall sounds great)
- 5 (no new votes)
sAmi kitta solli (SJ, the top duet companion of our thread nAyak)
- 5.5 (A_S new vote)
Come on HR, you got to do something...
naan unnum vote podala....
rAjAthi rAjA un thanthirangaL - not impressed much on this... never a fan of this...
muthu maNi mAlai - Like this but my favourite is something else in this album... (0.5)
sAmi kitta solli - munnAdi ellam avvaLavA pudikkAthu... ippo pidichu.. (0.5)
:neutral:
ok, raajarasign, I'll move 0.5 from MMM to SKS which increases its lead, advantage Plum :-)
buggle, like I explained to jaiganes, it so happened that I didn't come across mayilAdum before. Main reason was me not living in TN those days.
app,
I would have personally voted for 'adukku malli' but since it is not in contention, please put my vote for 'samikitta'.
And congrats for crossing 400. Wonderful effort. Given my current schedules, I struggle to catch up with the posts but do end up reading everything. It is just that I am unable to contribute much. Sorry about that.
#356 பாதக்கொலுசு
(திருமதி பழனிச்சாமி, 1992)
'pAdhakkolusu' from thirumathi PazhanichchAmy
Smooth, soothing SPB solo that is very similar to 'pachcha malappoovu' in the feel and gets just a little lower rating than that in my books. 3 sweet stanzas ornamented with lovely tablA arrangements and some interesting keyboard sound (or may be santoor / some traditional instrument) doing the response to singer's calls, effectively replacing the typical flute usage. For some reason, I strongly connect both this song & pachcha malappoovu to the Cbe-Pollachi area :roll: Unlike the pachamalappoovu, however, this song got my attention right at the time of arrival as my friend (who recorded the IR DD program on VHS) had this as his favourtie and it got played frequently at his home.
I feel bad that I found out this to be a R Sundarrajan movie only recently. In a criminal way, I've become like the next-gen who knows him only as a 'comedy + gunachchithra' actor :shock: I've seen a couple of blog posts and the comment responses to them this morning that "introduce" R S to this gen as an "once upon a time veLLi vizhA director" who supposedly had more cinema contribution than just his acting stunts :shock: :shock: :shock:
I shouldn't be surprised because such is the power of information overload that things are so quickly forgotten. Well, it's not just due to media assault but also thanks to human nature. I chanced upon a recent R S interview too during my search today where he laments about Vijayakanth not doing 'dhukka visAraNai' to him when his son got killed in an accident recently :-( If vaidhEki kAthirundhAL hero ignores that movie's director, what else can one expect from pAvam public?
In any case, thirumathi P appears to be yet another big hit for R S, with Sathyaraj / Sukanya as lead pair and significant contribution by Goundamani.
A few more thuNukkoos related to R S :
- He is in catering business now which is his original kudumbaththozhil
- He is directing another movie after a long time, 'uyir ezhuththu', hero Ragava Lawrence, music Deva
- vAgai sooda vA, the kaLavANi pugazh Sargunam movie that got NA last year had some similarity to Thirumathi P
There is another thing that I read this AM which cannot be dismissed as a thuNukku, however :
That the famous MR movie, 'alai pAyudhE', had the same original story as the R Sundarrajan's flop movie 'thoongAtha kaNNinRu onRu' (KVM music). The story was by R Selvaraj (friend of IR) and the story writer seems to have got credited by MR in his movie if one goes by this blog :

nanRi, Sureshji!
So, more advantage to Plum :-)
Link to the recent R S interview where he talks about his catering biz :
http://www.eegarai.net/t77762-topic
There're a couple other interesting thuNukkus there :
-vaidEki K was originally 'advance given' by AVM but they wanted Surya's dad as hero :lol: Since R S wanted a 'karuppu' hero, Panju ended up producing it :-)
- R S was elected poruLALar for director's association but ended up quitting that job as he was unwilling to get corrupt :thumbsup:
That's correct, HR :-)
As public, we will never know what all things happened behind the scenes (& in real lives of artists). What we get are two things :
a) The actual end products (movies / music albums etc) of artists
b) The so-called interviews (here again, the reporters / media can pad up, add masAlA etc)
a) is more authentic and we can draw some conclusions based on them.
b) is only for swArasyamAna reading and nothing more :-)
Based on (a), a few very +ve things about R S :
1. Great colloborater with IR
2. One who brought GM to the forefront as comedian & who popularized the GM-Senthil pair
3. Who did 2 massive hits with Vijayakanth in the early days (without red-eye / adi-dhadi / politics / sattam etc) :wink:
Excellent post App on Paadha kolusu paattu with lot of insights about RS. :clap: Thank you, really enjoyed it! And what a song that is. This song is also a great contender for #366 being SPB solo, we get to hear full song with only SPB's voice.
nanRi, V_Sji!
With buggle's vote (& rr's vAbas / splittu), sAmi kitta takes a big lead...
rAjAthi rAjA un -2.5, muthu maNi -4.5, sAmi kitta -7...
That's quite a good lead. :smile:
AVARAMPOO indeed!:musicsmile:
welcome baroque appadinnu solladheenga!
ingadhaan suthindu erukken.... my praises are repeat....so calmly enjoying...:-D
Thirumathi palanichami has a Vasu - IR's folk lilting tune KUTHALA KUYILEY... What a pattu!
Rasa, nammakitta padha kolusu.... illai!:(
vinatha
Baroque, IR and Sundarajan also a lightning combo. Thirumathi Palanisamy was the last film for them and later sundarajan tied up with Deva for one or two movies.
what to believe?@##!@@, some time back I read heard from gangai amaran in TV that(some telugu super signer kind of program) , when they gone to Aaliyaaru dam (I believe this is the place) for thanga magan song composition, IR completed the work quickly and composed additional 5 songs and given to panju arunachalam then Panju Arunachalam given those tunes to few directors and asked them to come with story, in that they liked sundar rajan's story and started Vaidegi kathirunthal.
