Pick # 62:

http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/ezhu_gm.rm

Song: ezhudhi ezhudhi pazhagi vandhen
Film: gumasthaavin magaL
Singers: Soolamangalam sisters
Lyrics

Music : kunnakudi vaidhyanathan

APNagarajan directed very few social films and GM is one of them. It had sivakumar, kamalhassan(villain),aarthi(GM of sanghavi) etc.
I'm not sure why APN chose kunnakudi over his favorite MD KVM.
Today's pick, though sounds like a vivididhbharathi 8am bhakthi paadal, is a good one .
I remember reading somewhere that Malysia Vasudevan sang a song in this film. This was before he sang in '16 vayadhinile'.

Ramki

Thanks for this song, as I always that this was a Non-Filmi Song (may be APN added this popular Non-Filmi SOng)

I believe APN started using Kunnakudi after his disastrous film 'Guru Dhatchanai' with Puhalendhi in 1968. Isn't Vaa Raaja Vaa and Kan Katchi by APN/Kunnakudi combo. (Thirumal then Kumari/ Raja Raja Chozhan/Navarathinam/AGathiyar(?) are other films by the combo I think)

Thanks for the song as always
Bala

I'm not sure about kaNkaatchi, but all other movies you mentioned
were by APN/KV combo.
I thought 'guru dhakshinai' was by KVM?

**rajraj** · 8th March 2005, 08:10 AM

Ramki: Guru dhakshinai music was by Pugazhendhi. kaNkaatchi was also by APN/KV duo!

Ezhudhi ezhudhi pazhagi vandhen

is a beautiful song
worth composition by Kunnakudi
& Good lyrics by Poovai senguttuvan

AArthi is a very talented Actress of Kannada Film Industry in 70's
she and kalpana stealed the show and they were really great artists.

she doesnt need an intro as Sanghavi's Grand mother

huh!!

Wow, what a find!
Ramki, this made my month! Have not heard this one in years!
Gumasthavin Magal was a bonafide three-hankie matinee, but Aarthi survived the depressing surrounds with poise - and the minimalest of aiyaiyos. A feat in itself, given the manipulative overdrive in screenplays from that time. Her performance, and the featured song - both stand-outs in a low-key, mature film.
