Jikki remembered through her song lyrics..

Raj, the lyrics are mostly right.

Some minor corrections:

eNNi eNNi intha yaezhaiyin manam inba kanavu kaaNudhae

I love Jikki's humming in the beginning and again just before 'ummai andri ingu inbamillai..'. And, of course, the dip in 'thendral adikkudhu ennai mayakkudhu' is so lilting! I must admit I am not a great fan of KRR's voice, though

saravanan: Thanks for the 80 song! I thought she had given up in the 70s.

Raj, glad to see you back in action

And thanks for the lyrics of this song, among my fav. SCK songs!

Details:

enga veettu mahalakshmi (1957/Annapoorna Pictures) was A.Nageswara Rao's own production.
It was a bilingual based on Sarat Chandra's Bengali story Nishkruthi. The Telugu version was Todi Kodallu. The film starred Nageswara Rao and Savitri. Adurthi Subba Rao directed both versions.The Tamil dialogues were written by Sridhar.

Music was by Master Venu.

Btw, Jikki sang the Telugu version of this song too, click on the last song (nee shoku choodakunda) here :

There was another telugu film Ma inti mahalakshmi too but songs were by PBS & PS

[Oldposts]

Raj, your above sentence "was another telugu film Ma inti mahalakshmi too" is little misleading for me. At least, till mid-1990s (after that I don't know) theres only one Telugu film with that title, and that from 1959. Also, PBS had only one song (a duet with PS) and PS had one solo. But, Jikki's 2 solos and her duet with Ghantasala are better known. Equally, rather more popular is PNR's solo. Also, check for RBS' duet with PS VaidEhi, an AIR staff artist, who sang few good songs in late 50s and early 60s. You find 7 songs from this film at www.oldtelugusongs.com
