TFMPage's Pick of the week
Topic started by Ramki (@ 68.69.214.196) on Fri Nov 19 19:49:35 EST 2004.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.
Often we listen to songs that we feel deserves more appreciation or we discover songs that somehow escaped the attention of listeners or were masked by other popular songs from the same movie.The joy of sharing such discoveries with others could be boundless.
This thread is going to do exactly that.
Songs we host could be really rare or not so rare. We are not limiting to just hosting them.
Many of the songs will be analyzed in detail by carnatic vocalist Mrs Charumathi M.
We are going to start with one song a week. We will try our best to upload the songs in tfmpage but in rare occassions we might just give you the song link.
Finally, if you feel you have a song that you want to share it with rest of us or if you want us to load a particular song, please let us know and we will try our maximum best to meet your request.
Archive of the older songs: http://forumhub.lunarpages.com/hub/f15.html .

raja m nice to see your post after a long time.
'i will sing for you i will dance for you' - isnt that by TMS/LRE
T i think PB was the first movie with sivaji-sripriya combo. According to Tamilcinema this film was released in 1975

Paattu bharathamum is a pretty good semi classical album by MSV. Though one could argue TMS was past his prime then, the melodies are still captivating. Apart from 'deivathin thereduthu',
1. sivagami aadavanthaal - I remember this is a pOtti dance between Sivaji & JJ. They both have to draw a picture (i forgot what) on the floor with their feet while dancing (this idea was copied in 'Kaadhalan'). They start off fine, but ultimately JJ misses a key point in the picture and sivaji wins (hero had to..what!). When TMS sings 'mayakkaamaa.. kalakkamaa.. kanakkile kuzhappamaa', you can easily picturise sivaji's victorious looks and JJ in disbelief.
This song is a ragamalika. Starts with Amirthavarshini (how majestic the pallavi!), kanada,charukesi and rounds off with Madhyamavadhi(?).
2. maanthorana veedhiyil - light song. I think based on sindhu bairavi.
3. mazhaikkaalam varugindradhu - Very good one from VJ. Sounds hindustani-ish. Is the MSV part from classical literature?
If you are a MSV, it's worth many listens.

Film: kuLirkaala megangaL
Singers : KJY, VJ

According to FM, kuLirkaala megangaL had Arjun in the lead. T says its directed by Sridhar.
I have no other info on this film. Knowledgable can throw more info on this film/songs etc

Ramki: It is directed by Sridhar. Sadhana who is now in tamizh serials is the heroine. I think this came after the disasterous nAnum oru thozhilALi.
Check your PM!

Ramki -
I've enjoyed most of the selections that have been featured in this thread. Sri Gananaatham, Poove Idhu Poojaikaalame, Paniyum Neeye Malarum Naane...and even the current one. All not equal in merit (but that's not the point, I assume) but all definitely worth a listen.
I'm sorry, I've no idea about Kulirkaala Megangal. Did it have the other (lyric) howler:'Mella Pesu, Megangal Kaettaalum Naanum" ? (the cloud connection?) I'll place my bets on the Arjun lead. Sridhar and SG? Something jarrs the sensibilities? :-)
And: How does one send song files / commentary of ditties that deserve another hearing? Are such initiatives welcomed? Please inform!

Thanks Ramki.. Credit goes to From Mars :)...
I saw this movie recently in Raj TV.. It has Arjun, (as mentioned by RC) and Jaishankar.. I didnt watch the whole movie though.. It's about horse racing and Arjun comes as a Jockey.. Dont think seabiscuit was inspired from this one :))..
Jaishankar is a rich man in ooty and has around 50 horses in his stable.. Arjun and Jaishankar have some bad blood between them and Arjun vows to beat jaishankar.. He invites Jaishankar for a bet and wins the horses one by one... As usual Sadhana is Jai's daughter and finally Jai wins her hand... I didnt know it was a sridhar movie till I saw the end credits..

Thanks. I'll give it some thought, and send you a song/commentary one of these days.
T -
"Ilaigal meedhum malargal meedhum pani vizhum kaalam" is a good duet. I was not aware that it was composed by SG. Is there a trace of MSVs "Medaiyil Aadidum Melliya Poongkaatre" in there - somewhere?

Song: aenthaan ennodu un oodal naadagam
Film: en kaNavar
Singers : KJY, Chitra
Music : Sangeetarajan

I chose this song as a tribute to the director of this film. Ashwin kumar. He was my tailor few years ago(For those from Mambalam area: 'Kumar tailors' thamabaiya road).
Yesterday i read his obituary in Dinakaran. He died of massive heart attack.
The news rekindled my memories. He was a huge super * fan and always had the dream of making into films. He directed 2 movies and both were failures. He later sold his tailor shop and moved out of the aread and my memories, until yesterday.
-en kanavar had Ramki and Nirosha in the lead.I have no other details to share(mano,RC,RR,T- you might know more)

Ramki
Is this the 'Kumar Tailors' next to the Krishnaveni Theatre (the first one in the street on the right handside of the road?). When I was in school he used to be our tailor, thanks to my elder brother. Lost touch after 85 when my family moved out of CIT Nagar. Kumar used to be a short but a brisk guy . He never cared about getting the money for his job, and always stitched in style much to my mother's anger.
Please confirm if by any chance I am referring to the same Kumar tailors

'yEn thaan ennOdu' had three version. One by mano, another by KJY alone (sad), 'kaathadum nEram' by KJY. I saw the movie, It's a thriller. Unfortunately It's been long enough, that I don't remember exact plot. This song is for Ramki and Nirosha.
