I guess pattukkannam video can be classified as PG-13 material (at least PG stuff- well, many MGR songs were like that anyways)...not posting the link here...

fantastic job , App _eng ,

there is no place like சத்திரம் பஸ் stand - மெயின் guard கேட்.

if it is not for her father's பதவி பேராசை , சூழ்ச்சி and பழிக்குப் பழி ,
இலட்சுமி பட்டத்து ராணியா இந்த நுழைவாயில் வழியா பல்லக்குலே வலம் வந்து இருப்பா ..what a heart break ! Heart bleeds man!


விஸ்வநாதநாயக்கர் , லக்ஷ்மி காதல் sacrifices , நாயக் dynasty 's contributions to திருச்சி architectural works பற்றி எப்போ பிலிம் எடுக்க போறாங்க?


Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge......கண்மணியே பேசு மௌனம் என்ன கூறு?

ராகம் பஹடி improvisation .

Rafi and பாலா.. evocative voices of the century !
Indian cinema music

I will return back to your thread tonight for the rest of the compositions.

Vinatha.

App, thanks for recalling our conversation and respond to Kamal's piece to our readers here. So kind of you. V_S, all for us hubbers, thanks.

And wow, Kakkichattai, one of my favourite of Kamal's total masala. Seed to liking Sathyaraj planted here, not only me but so many others of our generation. And here's where you guys are going to be totally uncomfortable, the favourite song of mine in this film is not reviewed/revisited yet here. HA! A sexy number that none but only SPB can pull off! Eat that Robert Plant. I am eagerly waiting (therefore building pressure) on your take, app. Jaaaakiratha.....okay, just kidding , seriously love to know what you and folks surrounding you and their take on it.

Oh yeah poo potta dhavani Grouch. That's SPB on steroids - with even Janaki struggling to catch up.Yeah, the standout song from the album

[groucho070]

Yup.

I hope it's not dismissed as sinunggal mununggal song. There's technical brilliance to it that we need to look at it despite the gigantic vocal overshadowing. The jazzy twang, the feel of over-the-edge driving of Aston Martin DB5 at those lonely roads down a Switzerland mountain, and again Raja unleashes James Bond-ish sound that has been sadly been missing the last 22 years in actual Bond films.

Interesting to see the brief info on historical background of MGG...can you please write some details? My knowledge is zero on this. (Going by the names such as "cantonment, promenade road, west bouleward road, toll gate, main guard gate" etc, I thought it was an East India Company establishment...don't know much about the local warriors associated with the fort...my association with Trichy was / is during & after college days and never cared for the history of the place except the chOzhar kAlam...)

BTW, pooppOtta dAvaNi is a personal favourite as well and it used to fight for top spot with vAnilE during college days (how come rAsA does a lot of special work for munakal songs For e.g., one of his best-ever-rhythms was for ponmEni)!

However, today's song will be the SPB solo
