    Really surprised A_E that you have not heard this song...listen to the prelude, smooth string arrangement...as usual the celebrated pair does justice...one of my SPB/SJ combo favorite

    ok, raajarasign, I'll move 0.5 from MMM to SKS which increases its lead, advantage Plum

    buggle, like I explained to jaiganes, it so happened that I didn't come across mayilAdum before. Main reason was me not living in TN those days.

    app,

    I would have personally voted for 'adukku malli' but since it is not in contention, please put my vote for 'samikitta'.

    And congrats for crossing 400. Wonderful effort. Given my current schedules, I struggle to catch up with the posts but do end up reading everything. It is just that I am unable to contribute much. Sorry about that.

    (திருமதி பழனிச்சாமி, 1992)


    'pAdhakkolusu' from thirumathi PazhanichchAmy

    Smooth, soothing SPB solo that is very similar to 'pachcha malappoovu' in the feel and gets just a little lower rating than that in my books. 3 sweet stanzas ornamented with lovely tablA arrangements and some interesting keyboard sound (or may be santoor / some traditional instrument) doing the response to singer's calls, effectively replacing the typical flute usage. For some reason, I strongly connect both this song & pachcha malappoovu to the Cbe-Pollachi area Unlike the pachamalappoovu, however, this song got my attention right at the time of arrival as my friend (who recorded the IR DD program on VHS) had this as his favourtie and it got played frequently at his home.

    I feel bad that I found out this to be a R Sundarrajan movie only recently. In a criminal way, I've become like the next-gen who knows him only as a 'comedy + gunachchithra' actor I've seen a couple of blog posts and the comment responses to them this morning that "introduce" R S to this gen as an "once upon a time veLLi vizhA director" who supposedly had more cinema contribution than just his acting stunts

    I shouldn't be surprised because such is the power of information overload that things are so quickly forgotten. Well, it's not just due to media assault but also thanks to human nature. I chanced upon a recent R S interview too during my search today where he laments about Vijayakanth not doing 'dhukka visAraNai' to him when his son got killed in an accident recently If vaidhEki kAthirundhAL hero ignores that movie's director, what else can one expect from pAvam public?

    In any case, thirumathi P appears to be yet another big hit for R S, with Sathyaraj / Sukanya as lead pair and significant contribution by Goundamani.

    A few more thuNukkoos related to R S :
    - He is in catering business now which is his original kudumbaththozhil
    - He is directing another movie after a long time, 'uyir ezhuththu', hero Ragava Lawrence, music Deva
    - vAgai sooda vA, the kaLavANi pugazh Sargunam movie that got NA last year had some similarity to Thirumathi P

    There is another thing that I read this AM which cannot be dismissed as a thuNukku, however :

    That the famous MR movie, 'alai pAyudhE', had the same original story as the R Sundarrajan's flop movie 'thoongAtha kaNNinRu onRu' (KVM music). The story was by R Selvaraj (friend of IR) and the story writer seems to have got credited by MR in his movie if one goes by this blog :

    Link to the recent R S interview where he talks about his catering biz :
    http://www.eegarai.net/t77762-topic

    There're a couple other interesting thuNukkus there :

    -vaidEki K was originally 'advance given' by AVM but they wanted Surya's dad as hero Since R S wanted a 'karuppu' hero, Panju ended up producing it

    - R S was elected poruLALar for director's association but ended up quitting that job as he was unwilling to get corrupt
