HI!! i have a song here from one of my favorite movies,'pathinaaru vayithiniley'(1977)..in fact i like all the songs from that film but this cute folk song has a special place in my heart:
SEVVANTHI POO MUDICHA CHINNAKKA(HOI)
SETHI ENNAKKA(HOI)
YAEN CHITTAATAM YAEN SIRICHE
SOLLAKKA(HOI), MUTHU PALLAKKA(HOI)
ATHU YENAMO YENAMO HOOOOI....
travelling back a little, another film which i adore is 'pudhiya paravai' starring sivaji and sarojadevi.I like that film mainly for its melodious songs.I think this is one of those few films in which MSV was at his genius best(according to me).Sample this song rendered by P.Susheela and penned by Kaviarasu Kannadasan:
UNNAI ONDRU KAETAEN
UNNMAI SOLLA VENDUM
ENNAI PAADA SONNAAL
ENNA PAADA THONDRUM..ENNA PAADA THONDRUM..
Going back to the black-and-white-era,'kalyana parisu' (1955) is one movie i will never forget.i often hum this song whenever i feel bored:
UNNAI KANDU NAAN AADA
ENNAI KANDU NEE AADA
ULLAASAM PONGUM INTHA DEEPAVALI!
OORENGUM MAGIZHNDU
ONDRAAGA KALANTHU
URAVAADUM NERAMADA..URAVAADUM NERAMADA..
Really..whenever i say that "i listen to illayaraaja and MSV songs","i watch K.B and K.VISHWANATH'S movies".. some of my friends throw skeptic looks. Paavam..they dont understand that OLD IS GOLD! 😉
