Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

[Ramki]

Thanks RC

Madhu i too think this is the last film PSV produced.

[RC]

I thought PSV films produced quite a few Vijayakanth movies (Saatchi, Vetri, another one where VK is with kudumi and Anuradha as a heroine, I think - Madhurai Sooran is the name of the movie), which should have been after produced after DMP!

[rra]

Ramki: Nice pick!! One other song from DMP is "Aruljyoti" by Balamuralikrishna. There is also a folk song "Adra Melatha raaja" or something like that.

Pick #123

Song: poovum thendral kaatrum
Film: Pick Pocket
Singers : SPB, Chitra
Lyrics: Vaali?
Music: iLaiyaraja

We have seen many unrecognised melodies in our past picks. Here is another gem. As far as i know vividh bharathi never played this song. Have listened to this a couple of times on tiruchi and coimbatore stations and thats it.
Every alternative movie of late 80s had sathyaraj in the lead and he was mostly paired with either radha or ambika. PP had Radha.
I remember reading horrible reviews on this film. No wonder the songs too disappeared from the memories.
What are the other songs in PP?

[RC]

PP was directed by G.Kumar. A pickpocket from Bangalore becomes a Police Officer by turn of events in Madras and how he gets back his love is the story. I thought this movie was well made (though the plot is unbelievable) but not sure about the BO.

Koodu chinna koodu or paalu sombu paalu( I dont remember the starting lines - SP posts this song in PP) is a good number.
There is another song where Satyaraj and Silk investigate drug dealers. - FM sonna manja kuruvi manja kuruvi konja paakuthadi

[thumburu]

"raja vaada" from DMB is a good pick. SJin kuralil thaan yethanai kudhookalam , urchaagam!!! ennavo pala kuzhandhaigaLudan avar vaLaiyaaduvadhu pol uLLadhu. Hats off.
BTW, is this KunthalavaraaLi?In that case MSV should be the first MD to have used this scale.

[mythila]

It is kuntalavaraali , thumburu. Iam not sure if this was the first song in this scale. I think IR also has attempted this scale in "azhagi nee perazhagi" (EOP) and "maanaa madhuraiyile"(in the movie Kovil Kaalai)
