The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB - Part 2

[groucho070]

One of many films where Sujatha plays estranged mother of Rajini, I like the song too, mainly because of the singing. The sequence is one of the more sober moments in this rather silly movie because of both of their acting.

V_Sji,

Eventhough I am not a fan of uzhaippaaLi songs / got reminded of all the songs thanks to this thread - ammA ammA enthan aaruyirE has been the song on my lips for the past few days. And I still haven't listened to it even once. Now that V_Sji has made this excellent post, listening to this song will be a completely new experience.

App - Any plans to cover Vaaliban songs? There was few years gap between Bobbili Raja release in Telugu and Vaaliban in Tamil. I had the Telugu songs in a cassette for few years before it was released in Tamil. One of the best original Telugu IR album.

'sOlai malai Oram' from villuppAttukkAran, with SJ

I presume this is another movie where Ramarajan got featured as a "-kkAran" (starting from the famous 'enga ooru pAttukkAran' that had the sweet 'sheNbagamE' and thrilling 'madhura marikkozhundhu' & later the terrific karagam). Obviously, villuppAttu is not the same as regular pAttu - it's essentially a form of kadhAi sollal in folk style, with paraparappAna musical portions thrown-in from time to time in course of the program. It would have been interesting to see Ramarajan doing that

thiraippAdal also catalogs GA as the director. No wonder this SPB-SJ beauty happened With a musically knowledgeable guy in the director's seat, with a decent ear to pick and choose good melodies, such songs are natural to come by. A beautiful melody sung by the top pair, with ear-friendly orchestration that can soothe one's body & mind. A song totally inside my personal zone of preference!

The movie possibly didn't make the impact like earlier mAttukkAran-pAttukkAran-AttakkAran movies and I don't know whether any more of such movies were made with the IR-GA-RR combo. If there were some more, we'll get them as we scan through the rest of the IR albums of 90's I'm not familiar with the other SPB song in this album, 'kalai vANiyO' and will have to skip...the song sounds very sweet, however, with folk drums / flute and such delightful combo plus SPB's voice!

What?!! I never thought I will be able to stump you like this on IR. At least for this one day, I am a greater IR fan than you!!

Ayyo-Ayyo and Kanyakumari songs are huge hits in AP along with the movie. Suresh/Plum - Please confirm.
