All your posting makes me see "Thanikaattu Raja" again (last time I saw this was ,almost 10 years ago). Is this the one with Chiranjeevi in a "guest" role ?? ( I am not talking about Mappilai)

[groucho070]

No, that would be Ranuva Veeran. MSV music.

Oh I thought so, BTW Thanikaatu Raja had Rajni in a double role right? or was it Kupathu raja

[app_engine]

Double role could be 'pOkkiri rAjA' (one as pOkkiri with Radhika and another as rAjA with Sridevi), again MSV music.

This had one Rajini, one Sripriya, one Jaishankar & one Sridevi as Jaishankar's wife...

Oh too many "Raja" , hence the confusion

Comical attempt with usage of terms related to older Rajinikanth movies (murattukkALai, thillu-mullu, parattai etc). As mentioned in the 'pookkaL sindhungaL' post, recycle of the tune. Singers singing in 'pOgira pOkkil pAdeettu pOkalAm' mode. rAsA doing template style orchestration to fill the disk space...

Still the song featured big stars and had airtime / kOlAmbi time etc and one couldn't escape being subjected to this song those days from some source or other.

So, it has to get a mention in this listing. Otherwise, I'm not so thrilled to write about this
(thiraippAdal link is wrong, as mentioned before, it goes to nAn thAndA ippO dEvadAss and no link for that song, so the above link should lead to youtube)

Whatever contept one has for nAn thAn tAppu kind of numbers, it's amazing to see this kind of variety in this album :

santhanakkARRE - one of the best ever love duets
rAsAvE onna nAn - what a mysterious longing number, no SPB here
koovungaL sEvalkaLe - muzhakkam
nAn thAndA ippO dEVAdAs - drunk
nAn thAn tAppu - chummA
mullai arumbE - sweet duet , no SPB here

அப்போ பழசிராஜா-வில் யாரு? அதுவும் ராஜா தானே?

adhula rajini illayE

Kupathu Raja
Pokkiri Raja
Thanikattu Raja
All came within a short period - all 3 were rajini movies hence the natural confusion esp bet KR and PR because both had MSV (I think)

Later Rajini added Rajadhi Raja to his resume

Yes, that is the reason

esp bet KR and PR because both had MSV (I think)

Yes it was MSV
