The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[app_engine]

groucho,


Sometimes real life incidents are as hilarious as or more than what we read / watch on screen

BTW, please check out that iLankiLiyE youtube, Kamal actually throws away Sridevi - flings her - at 1:00 - 1:03

[app_engine]

Also, there's a milli second lip kiss at 0:57 Sridevi is really wild in this number

I'm not sure whether I'm a loner in finding the similarity between the preludes of both the Kamal songs...

App,
too much. These are the people make our life more interesting!

I even love maamaavukku kuduma, eduthu naan vidavaa and ellOrum maavaatta. The mainstream films down south only has all these fun elements in the songs more, because they reflect our every day activities closely. We can witness a lot in our films. I agree, sometimes it might be silly. I believe, every time when we tend to compare with the other great melodies from the same film, definitely these songs sounds average. Where is the fun element and variety otherwise, if every song has to sound melodious (like we see in Hindi and malayalam films)? I really loved the situation in ellOrum maavaatta kathukidanum song, where it comes as a relaxation moment for the people who get lost behind the kitchens in hotels. They cannot sing a melody song inside the kitchen. A very rare situation conceived by KB and wonderfully composed by Maestro. Just my thoughts...

#308 எடுத்து நான் விடவா என் பாட்டை தோழா?
(புதுப்புது அர்த்தங்கள், 1989 , இளையராஜாவுடன்)

Well sung by IR - like a clown. Clown's job is the most difficult in a circus - A juggler just juggles, but a clown needs to juggle as he is going to drop at any time.

This song featured Janankaraj ("தங்கச்சிய நாய் கடிச்சிருச்சுப்பா") on screen in IR voice. Also in this movie there is a funny scene where Janankaraj brushes and changes dress while driving a car. Well, this scene seems to have "inspired" from one of the Mr.Bean episodes.

Apart from Jananakaraj, there is another comedian featured in a smaller role in this movie. His dialogue from this movie was quite popular then - "இன்னைக்கு செத்தா நாளைக்குப் பால்". I had seen Vivek in Doordarshan few times before, but I believe this was his first Tamil movie.

Kamal did the brushing in the car routine much later in punchthanhtram. What is the dateline of Mr Bean? Is it before 1989?

AFAIK Mr Bean started in the mid 90's!

Eduthu naan vidava ranks higher than Ellorum maavatta. The charanam has a melody quotient. Right from vaasikkireengalaa nalla vas(sh)ingo, it is ilayarajjiyam. IR actually outdoes SP here (abachaaram abachaaram!. The normal sa in vaasikkirengalaa vs slurred ssh in vaashingo just two words later I have seen in typical drunken moments of friends. Oru sentencela naalu vaarthai theLivAna ucharippOda irukkum, adhE syllable rendu word thaLLi slurredA varum. Exclend singing, emoting and enunciating by the maestro. He must be a great observer of people.

It seems the pal thEikkal is a 1992 episode (one of my Detroit friends once showed me this on his computer, hilarious) :

Bean oversleeps and is late for his dental appointment. To save time, he decides to get dressed and brush his teeth while driving to the dentist, using a brick to hold down the accelerator while he changes his trousers and puts on his shoes and socks and shooting screenwash into his mouth to rinse it after brushing his teeth. When he spits out the toothpaste, it lands on the backside of a man whom Bean passes in his car.

So, KB / Janakaraj didn't refer to Mr Bean TV show

However, it's possible the same was taken from an englees book (or older movie)...
