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

[A_S]

App: My choice for #366 is Samikitta Solla from AP. As compared to Mannan song (which's also my favourite) or CG song that got noticed because of the stars involved (RK, VK et al), this song IMHO became a hit only because of IR (along with the soothing voices of SPB & SJ) and for me, this is some thing very special about IR (motivation to compose outstanding songs (& BGMs) for all his movies and not just big starrers). There are countless examples for this and on the flip side, it has ensured that we have to be quite courageous to watch most of the videos for all these unforgettable songs.

App: Please don't exclude the two melodies from VP (Kalaivaniyo, Solaimalai) and the two unforgettable songs from EA (Thulli Thirinthathoru, Chinnan Chiru).
DD aired IR program on 1991 deepavali day (in which clippings from Chinnavar movie song sung by NB were shown).

On the lighter note, missed songs list has suddenly grown (4 times in size for sure) very quick like a T20 innings
So including the missed songs, we will probably touch 500.

On NB topic, guess Param's favourite movie is SV
Surprised to note that App didn't make a mention of this (NB in SV) while covering the three songs of that movie.

Blasphemy alert: Mayilaadum from CPN is a boring song,and more importantly not a hit.

kOttaiyai vittu - Hugely underrated (all 3 versions). I mean they were hits alright the time it was released but was almost forgotten. And thanks to Sarkunam for using that song in kaLavaani

And app, congrats on yet another milestone. Great thread, great posts, great memories and nostalgic (even for a I am a young like me)

App - It should actually be Mrs#2.Fruit-You God!!

Does the story of Valli has any sort connection to the mythological Valli's story? (I have never seen this movie)

genesis sir,
I didn't mean vaLLi (which is a 1993-er and was directed by Natraj).

This was a literal translation
(Mrs = Thirumathi, Fruit-you = Pazhani & god = sAmy)

nanRi Param & Nerd, for your kind words!

A_S,
nanRi for keeping track I didn't quickly get some of your abbreviations but will possibly understand when I reach those movies. (I got who NB is, however )

sAmi kitta solli (SJ, the top duet companion of our thread nAyak)
