I am telling you..

'93 is not far behind, so many movies and big hits. Even '94 is not bad with around 30 films with big hitters like Mahanadhi, Veera, Raajakumaran, Veetla Visheshanga, MagaLir Mattum, Adhiradhi Padai, Amaithi Padai, Adharmam, Vanaja Girija, Priyanka and many more. Only from '95 onwards we don't see much of SPB, except the ever-green Paattu Paadavaa, '96 - Rettai Roja and Siraichaalai and '97 - Raman Abdullah. He was singing still for IR, but the frequency drastically came down like anything and songs were also not hits.

Plum, no. I've never heard of this DSR dude anytime. Other than Malathi Rangarajan I dont know of any other film reviewer from Hindu. I got the link googling for DSR.

KottukkaLi, what a delicious song. Sounds so simple, but has so much packed in each line. Unfortunately this is another one of those forgotten gems

App, avasarappattutteengaLE.. I d have +1ed Rajathi Raja Un ThanthirangaL. MMM is superb too, no worries.

And btw, will you feature, kOttaiyai vittu in the series? I think the movie version has the Uma R + kids version. But the SPB version (albeit a bit song) is a HUGE favorite of mine.

He was there just for song, as he was doing in many films, just song scene before he got himself lead role in Indhu (or was it Kadhalan first?)

Indhu first. Before that, idhayam, suriyan etc. Before even that, there was Agni * .

**groucho070** · 17th April 2012, 08:25 AM

Lead Role. Before that he was the male item number

Ippo mattum enna - kadaisila he sinks to his level of competency with vaangum panathukku in Dhoni

**groucho070** · 17th April 2012, 10:01 AM

I see. Anyway, while still on the subject, this is for Raghu

Agree, though Swarnalatha is one excellent singer, but IMHO I think she struggles at High octaves, in fact I feel SJ is the only one who does justice at high Octaves amongst the female singers, while SPB is emperor amongst the male singer.
