Excellent treasure Neel. I have never heard this song. This must be for the hero Muthuraman.

VaNishri performed very well in this non-hit movie, it seems. Failure may be attributed to Telugu / Kannada touch of the movie. Story line on a Deva dhAsi's life... struggling to choose Chalangai (order of family) OR ThAli (offered by Hero).

Guess MR and VS formed a good pair, though they did not give many hits.

I know 3 female solos.

Mangala kaNNaki kunguma nayagi (Or JAnaki??).. after a few lines...... ThAliyA ChalangaiyAaaaaaaa? by VJ
Maduraikku chendrAal mEgangaLE... mangai meenAkshiyai kELngalEn by PS
AlarmElu mangai arugE thirumAlE by PS. PS pronounces the name as alarmElu (not the Colloquial alamElu).. its lovely

Both PS and VJ sang extremely well.

Indha maadiri niraya treasures kudunga Neel Smile

Seems like I have never heard nor know abt SJ's kaverimaan song, but wished to put forward it.
pavalamani thermele got good AIR time to my knowledge as I could hum that song seeing the wordings and of course, it is a good song and good rendition by MV too.

Gejje pooje was an outstanding movie by Puttana kanagal and it had Kalpana in main role

Tamil movie was not up to the originial but had brilliant performance by vanishri.

Usha,
Yes, "manggala kaNNagi" is an amazing song by VJ. It was discussed quite a bit in VJ songs thread.

SN23,
Thanks for the song details. I can kind of recall "mathuraikku chenRAl", but still not the other song. Isn't it wonderful that you can go into the 70s and find so many good songs from one album. Imagine doing that with the albums today.
More treasures coming...

RR,
Thanks for the raga.
And she is cute, isn't she?

yvsmani,
Thanks.

RC,
No, not at the same time. If I remember correctly, Master Sekar gets Sridevi drunk at a party and then takes her to a private room and starts to misbehave. Sivaji walks in at the right time, or the wrong time for Sekar, blows Sekar's head off, and goes to jail a second time... Shouldn't Kavarimaan blow its own head off per the myth?

Pick #512

Song: nAlu mAthanggaL
Film: Karai Kadantha Oruththi
Music: Gangai Amaran
Singer: Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1979

"nAlu mAthanggaL" song is not only hard to find it is also hard to find a good recording. All VJ fans know this song and keep looking for it. There is something unique about this song but I can't put my finger on it.
Gangai Amaran employs part singing in this song, all in VJ's voice, where one voice keeps sustaining the "LLL.." in "en eNNanggaLLLLLLL....." while the other finishes four lines

vAna vadivam - ponnAna
mEga vadivam - sanggItha
rAga vadivam - santhOsha
nAdha vadivammmm...

and merges back with the "LLL...". Talk about breath control!

The film was really hyped, the title created a controversy and was later changed, the heroine Vanithasri got huge amount of press coverage, the story along with the film's still photographs was published as a serial in one of the weekly magazines... but in the end the film flopped. Don't know where Vanithasri went after this. Couple of other good songs from the film are "shonnathu palikkuthu pAru" and "pachcha mala pakkaththula kuRaththi", both VJ-MV duets. I have not seen the film. And I wish to see it at least once just for the songs.

Neel..

you can just hear the songs and be happy - than to see that picture Shaking With Fear

SN23 : yes.. Odathula thaNNeeru Cry3

by SJ is from this film only..

Once they announced in Vivid bharathi that this is the first song in which the MD tried this new method of merging the voice of the singer in two tracks .. ( or something like that Embarassed

)

kareettaa enna sonnAngannu maRandhu pOchu ! Mr. Green

SN23,
Thanks. "nAlu mAthanggaL" is a slick and nicely paced song.
I don't know how I forgot to mention "Odaththula thaNNIru". That was the most aired song from the film. It is an azhumoonji song but a good song.

RR & madhu,
Thank you.

All,
Next up is a duet from the previous two singers. Take a guess. No clues, he...he....

Machana paaradi machamuLLa ALadi from Thanga mahan??'
Kalloori maanavaraa from 24 MaNi nEram??

SN23,
I should have been clearer. It is the previous two POW singers, KJY and VJ.

RC,
I had a gnaanOdhayam last night. It is Sridevi who kills Sekar, but Sivaji takes the blame and goes to jail. I think someone who watched the movie recently should post the actual story. Or, I will keep having more gnaanOdhayams.
