Pick #420

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kaviri_vk.rm



Song: kaaviri nagarinil
Movie: vaazhndhu kaatugiren
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: kaNNadasan?
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1975

This is the song of a woman who doesnt take rejection very well. She takes an extreme step when her own husband gives more importance to his mistress than her. The last 2 lines

varuvadhu varattum naanum peN thaan
vaaznthE kaattugiREn ... en vaazkkaiyai iRaivan kaakkavillaiyenRaal
kOvilaip pUttugiREn ... kOvilaip pUttugiREn

Pretty much sums up the extremity of the character.

But the song and the lines were wasted in an absurd film. (discussion on the film here

Thanks to JN for the song and lyrics.

The VJ version of the song is an equally good one. Very rarely we have 2 versions of the song sung by 2 different singers of the same gender.(SARakjumar songs are exceptions :)) PS does a commanding job and as always she gets all the expressions right.

Thats a wonderful song, Ramki! I'm familiar to VJ's version. I'm hearing this one for the first time!

RC anna :
ungalai pol thaan naanum. when this song was shared in ps group, I too wondered. PS has done well as usual...

Ramki, Thanks for the song.

But for the songs and good performance by Sujatha, this film was a typical c-class movie. Wife becomes dhAsi for husband. Not to elaborate on this story line :angry2:

PS version is full of emotions that too with anger. Through that Varuvadhu varattu, heroine give a fitting challenge to her husband. PS did her best to convey this :thumbsup:

Thanks Rc, Mani and SN23

Pick #421

Song: vasanthangaL varum munne
Movie: Lalitha
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1976

'kora kaagaz' is one of my favorite hindi film and 'mera jeevan kora kaagaz' is one of my favorite hindi songs. Kishore kumar rightfully received the national award for the excellent rendition.

When KK was remade in tamil , MSV used just the initial music of the hindi original and came out with a totally new tune(todays pick).

You can listen to the original here

Todays pick is noteworthy just for PSuseela's voice. MSV jumps from saranam to saranam instead of the usual format of touching pallavi in between the saranams.
Well written Lyrics by the lyricist(I heard its by vaali)

Nalla Song

"Mera Jeevan Kora Kogaz" was a great song in all respect. I remember Ameen Sayani once commenting that the song topped Binaca Geet Mala for the year 1974 and grapped National award for KK. Rare feat indeed. KA at his best. Hindi Songs when they were at their best! (as a kid used to watch with awe when my uncles/aunts and elder siblings discuss the songs awake the whole night). I was force to listen the songs of their choice, youngest kid issues! However as I grew up and had my own choice IR became my savior. 76 thru 79 was good with Chithchor, Akhiyon Ke and mere Naina. 80s after EDKL and Kudrat, touted Rakesh Roshan's so-so asongs like 'Dushman Kare Dost..", "tum sung Preet" asd greatest hit. what a low! Surprise! Surprise! The low was yet to come. 80-s, 90-s only slipped further. There were/are occasional gems, hope they are cherished forever

MSV as always does a great job in coming with original tunes as much as possible in remake.

Thanks Ramki
Bala

Thanks Ramki,
I am waiting for that golden day you going post such wonderful song.

Kaaviri nagarinil is a song with differnt emotions. Starts with slight naiyandi, then mixing with caution, then goes to veruppu and finally anger with challenge. SuperO super. That silence before varuvadhu varattum naanum pen dhaan is fabulous. The immediate takeoff by PS is the succes factor for this song.

Lalitha song is so so slow song. Is it bakground song? I heard Gemini ganesh paired with Sujatha. Gorampa :lol:
