The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[app_engine]

nanRi, V_Sji for the kind words and your Cbe experience with the movie!

That's a news to me. As far as I know, it was not a even a hit, saying it as a 'blockbuster' and did $3million collection is really surprising. I don't know.

This should prove how far one can trust wikipedia articles - they are handy and can be referred every now and then but not totally believed

App, hope you don't miss the song I posted on Facebook when I got to know that my wife is pregnant. By the way, did I congratulate you on the 300th post? If not, here's another one, edutukOngga

mikka nanRi, groucho!
I'm not sure what was attractive to you in Siva...

BTW, while I don't know what song you posted on FB, the only pending song from that movie is adi vAnmathi (booked for today). I haven't heard the others before and hence cannot post

Ameer John

I think he is Ameer "Jaan" - अमीर जान - (not yOvAn the disciple of Jesus but the urdu word for "life")

App, Siva has two SPB solos (one that Grouch had mentioned above (IMHO, this song was better picturized than the others in the movie) and Ada Mapilla). Hope these two songs will be covered.

I guess those two will have to be in the 'app-missed-geethams'

Ada Mapllila

SPB / Rajni were hilarious

Esp along the lines, when usilai mani comes in

" AiyAr enga pONeenga Vangona inge adaikitu vareeng" Usilai's walk

Not a fan of Siva songs. Except "Ada Mappilla" - superb

App, looks like the number of songs in "app-missed-geethams' will be in double digits when you wind up covering all IR-SPB hits.
Including these two songs, the current count stands at 5.

Have provided the links for siva songs so that you can hear and then make a call on whether you can cover these.

As you would have already noticed, "Adi Kannathaa" song (that Grouch has also referred to) has 5 star rating (that the two SPB-KSC duets have got). It has all the usual IR elements in it and can get into any IR-SPB hits list for sure. Ada Mappila is a situation based song (for making Super* fans happy). SPB & IR would have done their best to make this also worth listening.
Like what is being in the other IR songs thread, someone else can write couple of lines about these songs if you couldn't cover this.

A_S,



As you're aware, to define whether a song was / is hit or not is not totally an objective phenomenon.

Some are overwhelmingly popular and unquestionably hits (mAnguyilE, for e.g.)

For other songs, my criteria is "I should have heard this involuntarily (bus / teakkadai / radio etc) " to include in this compilation Unfortunately, during late-80's / 90's, I could have missed listening to songs that were hits in TN. We'll request people familiar with those numbers to chip in the details later on

Why does it always happen to Rajini films? App_e, you hosted a host of mokkai blade songs from naanum oru thozhilaaLi for example..

Just kidding, pls. continue Can't wait to read about your kalyaaNa maalai..

Adi vanmathi was a blockbuster. Really a romantic song! I liked "iru vizhiyin " more though
