Pick #596

Song: mAlai mudhal kAlai
Film: Unnai Thedi Varuven
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Singer: Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1985

"Unnai Thedi Varuven" was directed by Sridhar. As always, he managed to get great tunes from the composer. Today's pick is one of the best among IR's western compositions but went overlooked. A very delicate composition that is all about control. You can feel the woman burning with lust, yet there is a restraint in the way she expresses it, and you can feel that too. The song is like a woman with her heaving bosoms and the instrumentation is like a delicate silk fabric that envelopes her, barely. The charanams start to intensify as they get close to the finish, gradually increase and finally hit the peak (starting at "suganggaLum suvaigaLum nAnthAn" and peaking at "nALEthu" and again in the next charanam starting to intensify at "aRinthavan purinthavan yArO" and peaking at "vArAnO"). Yet you can feel the careful and controlled execution of the finish, like walking on a tight rope, like she does not want to disturb the calm of the night. Wonderful job by VJ. The vibratos and the kiRakkams at the end of the phrases are a delight.

Nice solo rendition by Vani Jeyaram...Unnaithedi Varuven is a 'Thriller'...Suresh, Nalini and Sadhana acted in this movie...two more beautiful duets in this movie are...'Oru Naalil Valarnthene Malarnthene Devane' and En 'Anbe Anbe En Manam Un Vasam'!

Thanks Neel for posting this song! Smile

Pick #597

Song: thottilil thodanggidum
Film: Kanne Kaniyamudhe
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1986

Following the western number let us enjoy another dimension of VJ's vocal skills - the semiclassical genre she is well known for. Today's pick, a beautiful philosophical song, however, went overlooked. MSV fully utilizes VJ's classical music skills just as he previously did with "Ezhu svaranggaLukkuL", "sugamAna rAganggaLE", and "kaNNan kOvil paRavai", to name a few. VJ sang two outstanding solos for "Kanne Kaniyamudhe" - the dramatic sad song "oru piLLai azaiththathu", and "thottilil".

The film starred Sujata, Rahman, Amala, Jaisankar and others. If I remember correctly Sujata is a dance teacher, married to Jaisankar and has a little son. For some reason she runs away from home leaving behind her husband and son. Many years pass, Sujata returns and takes up a job as a dance teacher in Rahman's dance school. There she finds out that Rahman is her own son. But she cannot tell him that she is his mother...you can imagine the drama and sentiments that would follow. MSV scored many beautiful songs for the film.

This song concludes a week of VJ songs.

What a Brindhavana Saranga delight, giving me craving for Bhakthajana vatsaley.... by Aruna Sairam.
RTP - Brindhavana Saranga by Shri.T.V.Shankaranarayanan & Soundarajam... by Aruna Sairam, Rangapura vihara... by MSS are immortal musicals from the classical section.
Neel, you are treating me with the rare musicals.
Nice pattu break. Thank You
