#83 சமையல் பாடமே
(மணிப்பூர் மாமியார், 1979 / 1982 , ஷைலஜாவுடன்)

(The "rework" of this song was in 'unnAl mudiyum thambi' by K Balachandar / Kamal as enna samayalO with SPB / KSC / Sundanda)

Last night I was "singing" 'mamamamamama-mamamamamama-manjaL podiyum engE - masAlAppodi engE' and both my nephew & niece (who are visiting) laughed and said 'mAmA kAmedy paNrAru'. When I told them that I was simply singing a movie song, they told I was joking. So, I played this MM song from thiraippAdal and everyone (esp my 5 year old) thoroughly enjoyed the song. We played the Dr Udhayamoorthy number also and shared some light moments

For this compilation of SPB-IR songs yearwise, I've been generally using rAkkamma & thiraippadal that are more reliable than many other web resources and both failed on the MM song. When I saw yesterday this album in 1982 list, said to myself "that can't be, 'AnanthaththEn kARRu' and the ching-chAw sound in its first interlude were my school days stuff...my cousin's pet love of IR's lead guitar / jAlrA combo...1982 was my college period...So, some googling had to be done and some sites correctly report this inreco album as a 1979-er. Why does these two relatively better sites list it under 1982? I don't know, may be the movie - which IMO never left the cans - possibly had a release that year.

In any case, great light classical song with kitchen references and associating them with rAgA names. Someone please confirm if those portions are actually based on those rAgAs. SPB enjoys himself and the song should have been an IR favourite as he reused it in UMT. (The movie UMT itself was a remake of the IR-NA-award-winning-Telugu-movie-rudraveeNA but the original didn't have the samaiyal song I think, so there could be Kamal-push here).

Both versions of this song should not be missed by IR-SPB lovers!
(BTW, when it's time for punjai uNdu nanjai uNdu, I'll exclude the samiyal duplicate)

Didn't SPB win a National award for this film also ??

punjai uNdu nanjai uNdu [/I]

One hell of a song BTW didn't KJY sing for Gemini Ganeshan in this movie ?

App, the original of enna samaiyalo in Rudraveena was actually a differewnt song. Meesai murugesh plays Kamal's f-i-l there and there's a delightful song(not related to samayal etc) - it is more tied in with the story line as it kind of establishes the music loving lower caste vakkil and his family that Gemini looks down upon as a match for his son. The song picturisation is choreographed in a funny/comic way while taking care to delineate the characters - one of the many reasons I found Rudraveena the better of the two
(It goes randi, randi, randi dhaya cheyyandi - this caused some mirth initially to me in my lack of telugu knowledge days because randi means something else in Hindi)

[Plum]

And I think the tamil version might be a hurried compromise to replace the original song for whatever reasons. From what I can remember, the f-i-l character is reduced in importance in the tamil version - that might be a reason. And IR-KB-Kamal might have come with a hurried compromise in this - I don't think Kamal invested much in UMt for him to enthusiastically push for the remake of MM song here. From all accounts, seems like he lost interest in the project and kind of just completed it)
