App,
What a song!. You are right! Sorgame Endraalum is like a wild forest fire, which spreads quickly this one captures our heart and entire body and brings in the hunger within ourselves, wanting for more, while Thaana vantha sandhanamE is like a torrential down pour with its sweetest taste and flavor to put that fire off. Thaana Vantha Sandhaname is one of the sweetest duet of all time (is there any other word for describing its sweetness, it is that sweet of a song). Listening to pallavi is like standing in the midst of the rain showers, charanam is like the smell of our land getting into us, when the rain drops first kisses our land. Finest singing by the premier playback pair!

See who got this lucky one! Only our Ramarajan!

There's another SPB-SJ duet "ikku chchai ikku chchai ikku chchaiyyA" (groucho may know the meaning of it, I'm sure none in TN can translate) that I've not heard before and hence fails to make it to this thread at this point of time.

whatever made you think so. On a serious note, I shall consult junior

whatever made you think so.

appadi illeenga, I thought the movie is shot in Malaysia and it may be in your language (much like 'ennuyir nee thAnE' of Priya)

Well, now I know that's not

So, it's one of those 'jingu chakkA, jAngu chakku jajakku chakku' stuff...

#329 பாடிப்பறந்த கிளி
(கிழக்கு வாசல், 1990)

'pAdippaRantha kiLi' of kizhakku vAsal

I think this movie by RV Udhayakumar was a bit hit for Karthik. I remember listening to the songs everywhere - buses / functions etc - thru out early and mid-90's. However when they arrived in 1990, I didn't recognize them or the movie, due to many things happening at the personal front. (So much so that I couldn't even catch such a big hit album missed by thiraippAdal in the listing for year 1990).

I haven't watched the movie yet, though youtube-viewed some of the songs. This song is an emotional number very well sung by SPB, with limited orchestration by rAsA. Nice melody but the major strength that contributed to the success is definitely SPB (& may be the movie's hit status). The lyrics are decent as well (possibly by the director himself as he was known to write songs also). No IR specialities otherwise, IMHO. That way, not a big personal favourite that I will play on repeat but happy for its hit status

The movie had 'ada veettukku veettukku vAsappadi' in rAsA voice which was a huge hit as well. Supposedly inspired from a WCM piece but brilliantly localized as a folk song, proving that in the hands of a wizard, any form of music can be treated with alchemy. That song, is a big personal favourite
