app Now the song can be appreciated at another level. Thanks!

The nuanced expressions by the 3 characters are interesting.. The ladies frowning first but later putting on a smile as though enjoying the moment, and murali smiling just listening to the song and probably the 'sight'.

Film : nakhakshadhangaL

Music : Bombay Ravi

On screen : Monisha - best actress NA winner from this movie, poor thing got killed in an accident shortly thereafter...one can also see nephew of Shobana, possibly his first film...


There're sub-titles (may not be very good, though)...I'll get the lyrics later on

movie : nAdOdikkARRu
director : Sathyan AnthikkAd
MD : Shyam
On-screen : Lal / Shobana

Superb share App. Thanks. I have become a fan of Sathyan sir. I think I have to listen to all his film songs prior to IR. Even the films should be very good. From the songs, we can get a glimpse how the films would be, smooth like a river ride.

yw, V_Sji...

You probably know that this movie was remade in Thamizh with SV Sekar / Pandiyarajan as 'kadhA nAyakan' and Chandrabose retained the tune for the TFM equivalent song 'poo pooththadhu, yAr pArthadhu'...(I think KJY is the singer)

And, nAdOdikkARRu is a "not-to-be-missed" movie!

Sathyan also directed a sequel to this, called 'pattaNa pravEsam' (with the same Mohanlal / Srinivasan pair) and that was a success as well.

IMO, Sathyan movies were more natural comedies than the Priyadharshan ones which were more famous. (Personally, I immensely love both).

This wikipedia article on Shyam is a nice read :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyam_(composer)

As expected, it lists vaishAka sandhyE as one of his all-time-big-hit songs. The niRakkoottu song 'poomAnamE' is another big favourite of mine.

ah.. katha nayakan original Sathyan padamaa! I'm curious how the famous boat-la dubai scene was filmed..

Good watching the song.. Lal is really a scene stealer.

Wasn't there a third part with Dasan and Vijayan - but it was a diluted version in foreign locale. There are talks of a fourth part but never materialises. Yes, Sathyan Anthikkad tapped Mohanlal's talent for everyman roles more astutely. Sanmanasullavarukku is another gem. So is varavelppu.

RR - the land up in Chennai instead of Kochi. One of my favourite scenes - which could not have been replicated in tamiyh - is when Srinivasan goes to IV Sasi's house (iv sasi plays iv Sasi). Seema, fresh from pooja looking lilke kudumba kuththu viLakku opens the door. The conversation that follows: Srini: I am a big fan of IV Sasi. Is he there. Seema: sir is in studio Srini:I am also a big fan of you madam. Seema: (blushing) thanks... Srini: (without missing a beat) yeah, I have watched "avalude raavugaL" 27 times. Seema: :angry: go to the studio
