Remember we've discussed 'then madhurai vaigai nadhi' as the starting song of the year 1988? (From dharmaththin thalaivan).

Dharmadurai wasn't a 1988-er, it's probably a 1991 movie...

Well, when the drinking Rajini appeared on screen, there was such a roaring response from front benchers - throwing coins and what not! I haven't seen such a scene in theater even for MGR movies in TN and was surprised / shocked!

Oh 1991 It came after thalapathy, for some reason it looked older than Thalapathy

that's cool, Param!

during 90s, when I was riding my Kinetic Honda scooter, some of my cousins
drove Yamaha. When we go out like trips to beaches etc...

Oh First Time, I saw this Honda Kinetic on google Images, I have never seen this over here, perhaps they never sold this model over here. You one was a scooter rather than bike that is why it may have been slow

#277 வா வா வஞ்சி இளமானே
(குரு சிஷ்யன், 1988 , சித்ராவுடன்)

vA vA vanji iLamAnE from Guru shishyan

A number of websites list this song as a Mano song. Is there a Mano version on the cassette or something like that (some "track" versions used to make it to the cassette those days)? In any case, this was the time period Mano was trying to sing exactly like SPB and thus there was some confusion among listeners. Especially songs that are not sung in the "regular / normal" voice. (e.g. adichchidu kottam of Indiran Chandiran). It is also possible that the netizens automatically assume a Prabhu song in a Rajini film cannot be in SPB's voice but had to be with a another singer Interestingly, Mano sang for Rajini in the 'jingadi-jingadi-enakku' in this movie, SPB sang for Rajini in 'kaNdu pudichchEn' and then for Prabhu the 'vA vA vanji iLamAnE'...kind of confusing!

There was no such confusion possible in the prior (MGR-Sivaji) era. If there's an album with TMS & PBS songs and the movie had Sivaji & Gemini, we can automatically assume that TMS sang for Sivaji and PBS for Gemini However, these kind of equations didn't apply with the arrival of SPB. SPB sang for multiple heroes on the same movie as in this case (or pattAkkaththi bhairavan) and on occasions sang for hero & comedian too (ullAsappaRavaikaL). Not surprising, considering his versatility!

An OK song, nice singing and soft-on-ears-orchestration! While I didn't seek out to listen to this song those days, never got irritated when it played on public address systems! I should add that in the middle of the saraNam, there's a very lovable portion

We have a five more "light weight" numbers in 1988 before we close with the grand last number of the bearded Kamal.

So, this year will close without even touching the #290. So, #300 has to be from 1989!

As there're going to be only some light-weights in the coming days (and I don't have that much nostalgic memories about them also), why not start now some discussions on what will be the best pick to have the triple century tag?

May be I'll throw in a few numbers and let's see what gets picked!
