The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

So, this movie had its own positives - even though there had been torturously negative scenes aplenty! (Please don't tell me the movie simply ran for songs - that way ninaivellAm nithyA & nizhalgaL should have been the biggest hits of TF...people adhu reNdaiyum eppadi kadAsinAngannu nyAyamAna manasukaLukku nallAppuriyum).

Chinna Thambi songs are pretty average for IR standards.... It is success of the movie that contributed to the popularity of the songs. IMHO, "Nee Enge" is a only good song from this movie, that too because of Sawarnalatha..... There are not many powerful climax songs like this... "Sangeedha Jadhi Mullai" from Kaadhal Ooviyam is another such song (Both songs are also happened to be on the same theme: Desperate call to the lover)

What a sweet themmAngu by the top duet pair! Very simple orchestration, by IR's standards for a catchy melody. The folk piece in the second interlude is similar to the prelude of aRaichcha santhanam and quite lovely. The other highlight of the song is the excellent country drum sounds (typical urumi present). Ofcourse, the typical shehnAi piece is included and awesome too!

No need to mention that the song was a patti-thotti hit, more because it was from a Rajini movie than otherwise, IMHO. I've heard it mostly on PA systems, including the buses. Never had it among my personal collections at any point of time. The only song that was in my collections from the movie was mAsi mAsam (SJS took not only the "beats" of this song for his kattippudi kattippudidA in kushi but also the horse + stable steamy scenes). The movie must have been a hit...I've never had the chance to watch it- only youtubes of songs featuring Rajini-Gautami...in any case, few more hit songs for rAsA

App,
Very nice posts on Chinna Thambi. I could see your passion for this movie and songs in those posts. Should see the visuals for these songs again, as it interested you a lot. I remember POvomA OorgOlam, Aracha Sandhanam and Nee EngE are nicely done.

தவறான பார்வை. அது என்ன ராஜாவின் தரம்? ஒரு பாடலை பட்டி தொட்டி, நகரம் என ஒரு இடம் விடாமல் ஒலிக்கச் செய்வதும் அதையும் தமிழ் நாட்டையும் தாண்டி ஆந்திரா, கேரளா என புகழ் பரப்பியதும் சாதாரண வேலை அல்ல. இந்த மெட்டிற்கு இது போதும் என ராஜாவிற்கு தெரிகிறது. ஒரு பாடலின் அமைப்பு ரொம்ப எளிமையா இருந்தா ஓரங்கட்டுவது எப்படி நியாயமாகும்? அப்படியே பார்த்தாலும் போவோமா ஊர்கோலம் - கிளாசிக். ஆரம்ப இசை, இடையிசை எல்லாமே அற்புதம். குயிலப் புடிச்சி பாடல் - பாலுவின் சோகப்பாடல்களில் முக்கியமான ஒன்று. படம் குப்பை எனச் சொல்லுங்கள். அதில் நியாயம் இருக்கிறது. பாடல்கள் இன்றைக்கும் கேட்டு ரசிக்கலாம். ஆனால் படத்தை என்னால் ஒரு நிமிடம் கூட சகித்து பார்க்க முடியாது. நகைச்சுவைக் காட்சிகள் தவிர.

Nice posts on Chinna Thambi songs app and you made me revisit the visuals (of course for Kushboo too , she is lovely in this film). Love all the songs in this movie. Unbelievable that Raja composed a super hit album in a very short period of time. The quality of the tunes & singing are so high that the songs are enjoyable on every listen.

Sandhaikku Vandha Kili - Love this song, especially the postlude portion which is the favorite for me, what an ending to the song.

SPB sir is in London today ! No one told me, I don't have Tamil TV at home, I dont have any Tamil friends, I really feel upset! The last concert I went to see SPB sir was back in 2002 when I was a teenager, hence I did not know much! I really feel bad now.

All the 35+ fellas posting in this thread are so against sinna thambi. appram yaarubaa indha padaththai hit aakkinadhu?

The biggest hit from this film is Mano's thooLiyilE. And the soundtrack was HUGE among the fublic. Almost karagattakkaaran range.

App, dharmadurai-la aaNenna peNennaa ellaam hit kidaiyaadhunnu skip pannaadheenga. Again even in this album the biggest hit is a non-SPB number. I don't have both the SPB numbers in any of my playlists. And for the nth time, thanks to this thread, another song finds a place in my playlist (sandhaikku vandha kiLi - what a fun ride. Would be great 'on the go').
