IR's Song of the day

[rocketboy]

is this the same song in which kamal dances with jayapradha.

[narayanan]

Yes, thats the one rocketboy. I love that 'Dhirana Dhirana' sequence in this song.

swathy, thanks for reviving Siru Ponmani, I've been hearing for the..erm 60th or 70th time

[rocketboy]

then let me add an interesting anecdote. many years ago this was film was telecasted in doordarshan. those were the good old days when dd was the only channel that aired tamil movies and that too only on sundays. Te director of the station at that time was probably a north indian. In his frantic bid to contain the film well within the time slot allocated to it he removed this song . many people were clearly dissapointed . my papa too.
the same song was telecasted late in the night on the same day. This song doesn't appeal to me due to its carnatic flavour. nevertheless a good song.

Adding more to Rocketboy's anecdote... some months back this movie was telecasted in a tamil satellite channel in the afternoon time slot(not the so called TRP monopoly.. suntv).. But this movie was well received that it was telecasted in the night once again.

I was in Mumbai that time and I had to go out in the afternoon.. but I stayed back until the Vaan Poley Vannam Kondu song.. my fav pick in the movie.

But today's song interestingly was my childhood fav. I remember my parents telling me that I used to imitate one of Kamal's dance steps frequently.

Sadly, few people can explain the technical nuances in this son. Swathy, your music notes for this song is amazing.. but could not comprehend it sadly.

Am not blessed to analyze Raja's songs technically.. but am blessed to live in an era where he lives as well. That sums it up all.

NALLA SUNDAL PONGOOO...

ammA thAyE, adhu `sundal' illeenga)

`nallA sonnEL pOngO' (means, 'exactly' or `you said it!')

[narayanan]

'En Kanmani' is a very sweet 70s love song, the best part being the picturization in Pallavan bus with all kind of disturbances, gives a nostalgic trip down the Mount Road
