A JOURNEY WITH K.V. MAHADEVAN

All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

This is an effort, in a modest way, to trace the great contributions of KVM to the Tamil Film Music. As Tamil Film songs originate from the Tamil films, I am aslo taking the liberty of discussing the background of the films where KVM had comsposed- with the intention of adding spice. I believe this article would serve as a nostalgic tonic to the fans of old songs.

  PART 35
  KUDUMBA THALAIVAN (1962)
  
  No words would adequately describe the most wonderful composing KVM had done in KUDUMBA THALAIVAN. All were super songs! One easily becomes baffled if requested to choose the best among these songs. All were equally good. This is a movie that would keep the name of KVM flying high for generations to come. Again Kannadasan was another asset in the production of these quality songs. Except for Rajamma, the other main stars in Devar’s previous two movies were retained in KUDUMBA THALAIVAN.
  
  
  There is a very beautiful song written by Kannadasan, by liftingthe ideas and some lines form Thirunavukkarasar. This is well sung by P. Suseela:
  
  
  Anroru Naal Avanudaya Perai Ketten
  Adutha Naalil Avanirukkum Oorai Ketten
  Indru Varai Avar Mugathai Naanum Kaanen
  Avan Ennai Thedi Varum Varaikkum Vidavum Maatten
  Androru Naal avanudaiya Perai Ketten Oorai Ketten
  
  
  In this film too the nature description continues. P.Suseela sings a solo well written by Kannadasan, with play of words.
  
  Kuruvikoottam Pola Nikkira Poovamma
  Unnnai Kondu Poga Purushaninge Yaaramma
  Aruvadaikku Kaathu Nikkira Nellamma
  Un Aasai Konda Purushan Perai Chollammaa
  
  Sala salavena Nadanamaadum
  Thanneeril Unnai Kandaanaam
  Salakku Salakku Nadai Yadanthu
  Kaiyaal unnai thottanaam
  Malamalavena Alli Eduthau
  Madiyil Unai Vaithaanaam
  Vandaada Varum Chendaka Unnai
  Maarbil Anaikthu Kondaanaam
  
  (Kuruvikkoottam)
  
  Aarodum Ilaneerodum
  Vanna Therodum Inthak Kaattile
  Yarodu Indru Porada Enni Thedukindraai kaatrile
  Pulladi Thalai Nellaada Nadai
  Thallaada Varum Ponnamma
  Puthaadai Tharum Athanai Kandu
  Paditha paadam Ennammma
  (Kuruvikkoottam)
  
  Aadi Odi Unnai Pola Alainthavalthaan Naanamma
  Anroru Naal avanai Kandu adangivitten Meenamma
  Thedikidantha Aasai Mugathai Therinthukkondathu Kannamma
  Antha Theril Intha Chilaiyai Vaikka
  Naalai Paarthu Sollamma
  (Kuruvikkoottam)
  
  
  There is a song shot completely in a pond. The duet is by TMS and PS. This is another great song to the credit of KVM.
  
  PS: Etho Etho Etho Oru Mayakkam
  Athu Eppadi Eppadi Eppadi vanthathu Enakkum
  
  TMS: Intha Intha Ingey Peru Theriyum
  Kannai Izhuthu Valaichu Ennai Paru Theriyum Hei!
  
  PS: Nilavai Pole Palappalanguthu
  Ninaikka Ninaikka Kirukirunguthu
  Malarai Pole Kulukukunguthu
  Manasukulle Jilujilunguthu
  
  TMS: Palappalanguthu, Kirikirujnguthu, Kulukkulunguthu Jilujilunguthu
  Intha Intha..
  
  
  Sivatha Ponnu Sirukki Vanthathu
  Sethai Poosi Kulikka Vanthathu

  Etho Etho…

  TMS: Penmai Enbathu Unnai Venrathu

  Etho Etho.
  
  Kannum Kannum Kalanthuvittathu

  Onnum Onnum Irandu Enbathu
  Onruppattathu Vendruvittathu
  
  PS: Onnum Onnum Irandu Enbathu
  Onruppattathu Vendruvittathu
  
  
  There is a duet by TMS and PS, just to boost the personality of MGR. MGR’s appearance is highly projected and praised by Kannadasan. In this song scene so much lighting is given to boost the face of MGR,so much so he himself looks like a tube light.
  
  PS:Katatana Kattazhagu Kanna
  Unnai Kaanaatha Pennum Oru Pennaa?
  TMS: Pattaadai Kattivantha Maina
  Unnai paarkkatha Kannum Oru Kannaa?
  Nadaippodu Nee Nadaippodu
  Nadaippodu Nadaippodu Manamenra Theril
  Nadamaadum Mayil Polave

  TMS: Paalendra Paruvame

  Selendra Kankale Vaa
  Siru Noolendra Idayile kaal ennum Nadayile

  Noi Thantha Penmaiye Vaa
  
  PS: Matha Yaanai Vadivame Nadamaadu Veerane

  Ariyaatha Boomiyil Theriyaatha paathayil
  Iruvarum Pogalaam Vaa-Naam
  Iruvarum Pogalaam Vaa
  
  (Kattaana Kattazhagu)
  
  
  There is a solo by P. Suseela that has been very well composed by KVM. Kannadasan has given his best lyrics in describing the desire and yearnings of a girl trapped in love. He simply uses the most appropriate words in this song. The music is truly amazing and astonishing and unbelievable. KVM brings out the roaring sound of rain and thunder and mesmerises the audience. It is so natural. Saroja Devi is seen getting soaked in a heavy downpour. Camerawork is again at its best. ( In Onru Pattaal Undu Vazhvu there is a song Sala Sala Ragathile where the sound of water splashing is well composed. Here it is the sound of thunder and rain which are well orchestrated.) P. Suseela changes her voice so much so that there were people who used to think that it was the voice of S. Janaki. P. Suseela really sings with high and emotional feelings.
  
  Mazhai Pozhinthukonde Irukkum
  Udal Nanainthu Konde Irukkum
  Manam Nirainthu Nirainthu
  Ennam Vazhinthu Vazhinthu
  Uyir Mithanthukkonde Irukkum
  
  (Mazhai)
  
  
  Ullam Thudithukonde Irukkum
  Kankal Vizhithukkonde Irukkum
  Thendral Thazhuvikkonde varum Iravaikkande
  Penmai Thavithukkonde Irukkum
  (Mazhai)
  
  Aayirasm Yaanai Balamirukkum

  Indru Koottukkulle Irukkum
  Naalai Veettukkulee Irukkum
  Engal Koottukkural Inba Kottaikulle
  Enrum Kettukonde Irukkum
  (Mazhai)
  
  
  There is a philosophical solo by TMS:
  
  Maaraathaiya Maaraathu
  Manamum Kunamum Maaraathu
  Thuraviyin Vaazhvil Thuyaram vanthaalum
  Thooya Thangam Theeyil Venthaalum
  (Maarathaiya)
  
  Kaatu Puliyai Veetil Vachaalum
  Kariyum Sorum Kalanthu Vachaalum
  Kurangu Kaiyil Maalaiyai KOduthu
  Koburathin Mele Nikka Vaithaalum
  
  Varavariyaamal Selavalichaalum Nilaikkathu
  Manasariyaamal Kaathalichaalum Palikkathu
  Kaalamillamal Vithai Vithaichaalum Mulaikkathu
  Kaathula Vilakkai Ethivachaalum Eriyaathu
  Thittum Vaaiyaai Pootti Vachaalum
  Thirudum Kaathai Katti Vahchaalum
  Thedum Kaathai Thirugi Vachaalum
  Aadum Kankalai Adakki Vachaalum
  
  
  There is a solo by TMS that has play of words by Kannadasan:
  
  Thirumanamaam Thirumanamaam
  Thruvengum Oorvalamaam
  Oorvalathin Naduvinile
  Oruthi Varuvaalaam
  
  Koorai Naattu Pudavai katti Kuninthiruppalaam
  Oru koodai Niraiym Poovai Thalayil Sumanthiruppaalaam
  Sera Naattu Yaanai Thantham Poliruppaalaam
  Nalla Chiraga Chamba Arisi Pola Sirichiruppalaam
  Sirichiruppalaam ohOhho Hohoi
  
  Semparuthi Poovai Pola Sivanthiruppalaam
  Naisu Silukku Thuniyai Pola Kaatril Asainthiruppalaam
  Seppu Chilai Pola Urundu Thirandiruppalaam
  Nalla Selam Jillaa Mambazham Pol Kaninthiruppaalaam
  
  Oorvalathil Vanthaval Yaar Kooradiyamma
  Aval Udaniruntha Maapillaithaan yaradiyamma
  Maalai Soodum Manamagalum Neethandiyamma
  Intha Manamaganai Kan Thiranthu paaradiyammaa
  Paaradiyamma Ohoho Hohoi
  
  
  The above is a song that Thindukkal Leoni never misses to praise when describing some of the best descriptive songs of Kannadasan.
  
  
  This was another film that was taken within the studio with low budget. KUDUMBA THALAIVAN became one more film that made KVM proud of his achievement.
  
  
  
  
  DHARMAM THALAI KAAKKUM (1963)
  This is a film that has a title to boost and promote MGR as a philanthropist. MGR appears as a doctor for the first time.
  
  P. Suseela and group sing a song in praise of the fairer sex.
  
  
  Azhagana vazhaimarathottam
  Athil Aadivarum Thanga Mayilaattam
  
  
  
  Again the nature description continues in the golden voice of P. Suseela:
  
  Paravaikale Paravaikale Enge Vantheenga
  Inge Pazhutha Pazham KIdakkuthunaa Paarkka Vantheenga
  
  
  A solo by TMS:
  
  Dharmam Thalai Kaakum
  Thakka Samayathil Uyir Kaakum
  Kooda Irunthe Kuzhi Parithaalum
  Koduthathu Kaathu Nikkum
  
  
  There is nice a duet by TMS and P. Suseela. (This was banned by AIR for some time. Readers would know the reason. The other song that was banned is Ithuvarai Neengal Paartha Paarvai frompanakkara Kudumbam)
  
  Thottu Vida Thottu Vida Thodarum
  Kai Pattuvida Patuvida Valarum
  
  Another wonderful gem by TMS and PS:
  
  
  Mood Pani Kulireduthu
  Mullai Malar Theneduthu
  Manathil Valar Mogamathai Theerthidavaa
  Inbam Serthidavaa
  
  
  One more Duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Hello Hello Sugmaa
  Aamaam Neenga Nalamaa
  
  TMS gives a philosophical solo that was very well received by the fans:
  
  
  Oruvar Manathu Onbathadaa- Athil
  Olinthukkidappathu Enbathada
  
  
  NEETHIKKU PIN PAASAM (1963) 100 days
  This is another film of Devar that brought good songs.
  
  
  Again, P. Suseelaa cxomes with a solo describing nature:
  
  Kadu Kodutha Kani Irukku
  Kazhani Velanja Nellirukku
  Odu Thirantha Panjirukku
  Unna Udutha vagai Irukku.
  
  
  TMS and PS come with aduet, picturised on MGR teaching Saro how to ride a bicycle:
  
  Akkam Pakkam Paakkathey
  Aalai Kandu Miralaathey
  Iduppai Iduppai Valaikkathey
  Handle baaarai Odikkathey
  
  
  One more duet by TMS and P.S:
  
  
  Maanallavo Kankal Thanthathu
  Mayilallavo Sayal Thanthathu
  Thenallavo Ithazhai thanthathu
  Silai Allavo Azhagai Thanthahu
  
  Another duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Idi Idichi Mazhai Pozhinthu Ellam Ninnachu
  Nenjil Iruntha vaasal Thiranthu Vachu
  Irandum Onnaachu
  
  
  A solo by P.S:
  
  Vaanga Vaanga Gopalaiya
  Vazhakku Enna Kelungaiya
  
  
  A sad solo by TMS;
  
  Ponaale Ponale
  Oru poovumillaamal
  Pottumillamal Ponale
  
  
  A duet by TMS and P.S:
  
  Sirthaalum Pothume Sevvanam Thonume
  Paarthaale Pothume
  Pazhachaaru Oorume Ahahahahaha
  
  Neethikku Pin Pasam is one more film that carried the good name of KVM for a fine job done.

  PART 36
  
  VETTAIKKARAN (1964) 100 days
  Vettaikkaran has some of the best songs of KVM. Kannadasan has again done much justice in giving good lyrics. TMS and PS are to be equally credited for singing with lively feelings.
  
  
  There is a motivation song that is always played in many motivation gatherings.
  
  Unnai Arinthaal-Nee
  Unnai Arinthaal
  Ulakathil Poradalaam
  Uyarnthaalum Thaazhnthaalum
  Thalai Vanagaamal nee Vaazhalaam
  
  
  
  
  P. Suseela sings this solo:
  
  Kannanukkethanai Kovilo
  
  Then comes a controversial duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Methuva Methuva Thodalaama-En
  Meniyile Kai padalaama
  Vetkam Ippothu Varalaama
  Nee Vilaki Chelvathum Sarithaanaa
  
  
  Another solo by TMS and PS:
  
  
  KathanayaganKathai Sonnaan-Antha
  Kannukkullum Intha Pennukkullum
  Kathanaayagi Kathai SOnnaal-Anthak
  Kannukkullum Intha Nenjukkullum
  
  
  
  One more duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Manjal Mugame Varuga
  Mangala Vilakke Varuga
  Konjum Thamizhe Varuga
  Kodana Kodi tharuga
  
  
  AL Ragavan and LR Eswary sing this song:
  
  Seettukkattu Raaja
  
  TMS gives this solo:
  
  Velli Nilaa Mutrathile
  Vilakkeriya Vilakkeriya
  Ullam Enum Thamarayil Unai Eduthu
  Konduvanthen Konduvanthen Oh
  
  
  KVM was once again at his best. But Devar feared that this movie might become a flop, as Karnan- a big banner movie of Bantulu was released and competing at the same time. Devar did one thing. He advertised that the leopards that acted in Vettaikaran would be placed in the cinema hall where Vettaikkaran was screened. So the crowd rushed to the theatre. Vettaikkaran is one of the only three films that Savithiri acted with MGR. There was a generally held view that only Saroja Devi could move and act very closely with MGR. To prove her wrong, Savithri acted extremely closely with MGR. Families avoided seeing this movie. (Extremely close- by the standard set in those days) Somehow the songs became instant hits.
  
  
  THOZHILAALI (1964)
  
  THOZHILAALI was a different type of Devar movie. Here Kannadasan was not used for writing lyrics. Again most of the songs were very slow moving. Among the Devar movies, THOZHILALI has a modern hit song.
  
  
  P.Suseela gives a song written by K. Sundram. This happens to be a great dance number picturised on Ratna and KR Vijaya.
  
  Kalai Vantha Vitham Kelu Kanne
  
  S. Janaki and P Suseela give this song in praise of MGR:
  
  Azhagan Ashagan Perazhagan
  Kanni Malaraddum aanazhagan
  
  
  Seergazhi Govinderajan sings this song written by Aalangudi Somu:
  
  Aazham Theriyaamal Kaalai Vittu
  
  
  There is a modern hit by TMS and P.S:
  
  Valarvathu Kannukku Theriyale
  Sugam valaruthu
  
  
  The most famous song in this film is a solo by TMS written by Aalangudi Somu:
  
  Aandavan Ulagathil Mudalaali
  Avanukku Naan Oru Thozhilaali
  Annai Ulakin Madiyin Meethu
  Anaivarum Enathu Koottaali
  
  
  There is a duet by TMS and PS written by Mayavanathan:
  
  Enna Koduppai Enna Koduppai
  
  Another duet by the same pair:
  
  Varuga Varuga Thirumagalin Muthal magale
  
  
  While Savithri was close to MGR in Vettaikkaran, Ratna was trying to be even closer than that. These were write ups of those days. The film somehow did not run as expected.
  
  KANNITHAAI (1965)
  
  
  Kannithaai was an average movie for Devar.
  
  The songs are:
  
  Enrum Pathinaaru by TMS and PS
  
  
  Vaayara Mutham Thanthu Vanna Pennuk Konjuthu by PS
  
  Maanaa Poranthaa kaattukku Raani by TMS and PS
  
  Ammadi Thookkamaa by TMS and PS.
  
  
  Kelamma Chinna Ponnu Kelu by TMS
  
  
  This film has created history. There was a theatre near Anna Membaalam called Saffire. It is now the property of ADMK I think. This theatre used to screen only English movies. But Kannithaai was the first film to be screened here.
  
  
  MUGARASI (1966)
  This was another average movie. But noe one knows how it made to 100 days. The songs in this movie are;
  
  
  A solo by TMS:
  UNdaakki Vittavarkal Rendu Peru
  Inge Konduvanthu Pottavarkal naaalu Peru
  Kondaadum Pothu Oru Nooru Peru
  Uyir Koodu Vittu Pona Pinee Kooda Yaaru?
  
  
  A solo by PS:
  Thannerennum Kannadi
  Thazhuvuthu Munnadi
  
  
  Mugathai Kaatti Kaatti
  Moodikolvathu Nyayamaa by TMS and PS
  
  Unakkum Enakkumthaan Porutham
  Ithu Ethanai Knkalukku Varutham by TMS and PS.
  
  This film was produced within 13 days and became a 100 days hit.
  
  
  THANIPPIRAVI (1966)
  
  Thanippiravi is a famous movie as not only it contained good songs, but also stirred controversies.
  
  The controversial duet by TMS and PS that had been quoted in Jayakanthan’s Cinemavukku Pona Chithaalu is this song:
  
  PS: Orey Muraithaan Unnodu Pesi Paarthen
  Neeyoru Thanippiravi Ore Mayakkam
  Ammamma Pothum Pothum Yenini Maruppiravi
  Vanam Paartha Poomiyin Mele
  Mazhai Ena Vanthaaye
  
  TMS: Neelam Pootha Vizhigalinaale Nee nenai Azhaithgaye
  PS: Vasanthak Kaala Pookalin mele Vandena Amarnthaaye
  TMS: Amarntha Vandu Paranthuvidaamal Aasayil Anaithaaye
  
  PS: Kaalaiyar Tholai Thedi Mahizhnthaal Kaathal Suvaiyaagum
  TMS: Kanni Pennin kannadi Vizhunthaal Kallum Malaraagum
  PS: Pollaa Manathil Aasai Pugunthaal Pozhuthum Pagaiyaagum
  TMS: Pullanguzhalil Kaatru Nuzhanithaal
  Puthu Puthu Isaiyaagum
  
  
  This is a famous duet by TMS and PS:
  
  
  Kannathil Ennadi Kaayam
  Ithu Vannakkili S\eitha Maayam
  Kani Uthattil Ennadi Thadippu
  Panikkatrinile Vantha VEdippu
  
  
  The famous solo by TMS is:
  Uzhaikkum Kaikale
  Uruvaakkum Kaikale
  Ulakai Puthumurayil
  Undaakkum Kaikale
  
  Another average duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Neram Nalla Neram
  
  A modern hit by PS:
  
  Sirippena Sirippenna Sinnamma
  
  The solo by PS that has many implications is:
  
  Ethirpaaramal nadanthathadi
  Mugam Kannnukkul Vizhunthathadi
  
  In the above song, MGR appears as Lord Murugan and this invited heavy shelling from the DMK supporters. Earlier Sivaji Ganesan was hit for going to Thirupathy. But here MGR daringly appeared as Murugan. MGR was cornered to give explanation. He said that Devar was a Murugan Bakthan and he wanted to see MGR in the form of Murugan and so he appeared so. In the 1990 elections, Jayalalitha used this Murugan-Valli poster for election campaign, and she won! Whatever said and done, the song is indeed extremely wonderful with KVM at his best again.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  THAAIKKU THALAIMAGAN (1967)
  
  This is an average movie with average songs.
  
  Anthikku Mele Antha Nilavai Santhikkalaama is a modern hit by LRE
  
  Vazha Vendum Sugam Valaravendum is a duet by TMS and PS.
  
  
  Paarthukondathu Kannukku Kannu is a duet by TMS and PS
  
  Annai Endru Aagum Munne Aaraaro padavanthen is a solo by PS.
  
  
  
  
  VIVASAYYEE (1967)
  VIVASAYEE is historical for MGR. After Petralthaan Pillaiya MGR Was shot on 12 January 1967-Pongal eve. After he recovered MGR completed small portions in Kavalkaaran. But the full film that he acted following the shooting incident was VIVASAYYEE. Many rushed to see the reborn MGR with his new voice. But the film had wonderful songs:
  
  
  
  Vivasayee Vivasaayee, a high-pitched song by TMS
  
  TMS gives this solo:
  
  EWnnamma Singara kannamma
  Pakkam Vantha Pinne VEtkam Varalaama
  Paarkaponaal Neeyum naanum Onnamma
  
  
  TMS and PS give this duet:
  Kaathal enthan Meethil Enraal Kaathil INikiirathu
  Thaali kattikolla Thatti Kalithaal
  Kavalaipdaukirathu-Manasu Kavalai Padukirathu
  
  TMS gives this solo:
  
  Ippadithaan Irukka Vendum Pombalai
  
  
  Evaridathum Thavaru Illai, a sad solo by PS
  
  
  Nalla nalla Nilam Paarthu Naamum Vithai Vithaikkanum by TMS
  
  
  THERTHIRUVIZHA (1968)
  This was an average film with good songs.
  
  Thanjavoor Semayile by PS and TMS. This is a good song
  
  Mazhai Muthu Muthu Panthalittu – a duet by TMS and PS
  
  Adikkattuma Murasu Adikkattuma –a good duet by TMS and PS
  
  
  There is a good duet by TMS and PS.
  
  Sithaadai Katti Irukkum Chittu-China Chittu
  Un Paarvai Minvettu
  Singaara Kaikalil Ennai Kattu
  Nenjai Thottu Un anbai Nee KOttu
  
  
  
  KAATHAL VAAGANAM
  
  “Aanaikkum Adi Sarukkum” This was a blow to MGR , KVM and Devar. It is not worth even commenting on this movie.
  
  
  
  Enna Men Ponnu Naan is a solo by LR Eswary. This is the second movie where MGR appears as a female in his cinema career. Here he looks, unfortunately really horrid!
  
  Adakku Manathai Adakku by TMS
  
  
  Vanakkam En Vanakkam by PS.
  
  Inge Va Inge Vaa or Ragasiyam by PB Seenivas and PS.
  
  Vaa Ponnukku Pottu Vaikka Vaa by TMS and PS
  
  Attangal Onna Rendaa is by LR Eswary.
  
  
  No further comment!
  
  
  NALLA NERAM (1972) 100 days
  
  This is the only colour film of Devar where MGR acted. This is the remake of Hathi Mere Saathi.
  
  The songs here are above average:
  
  A duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Tik Tik Tik Tik
  Ithu Manasukku Thaalam
  
  Another duet by TMS and PS:
  
  Nee Thottal Engum Ponnagumne
  En Meni Ennagumo
  
  
  
  
  
  Another solo by TMS:
  
  Aagattumdaa Thamby Raja Nadaraja
  Methuvaa Thallaiyaa Pathamaa Sellaiyaa
  Karukulle Pennirukku Pathukko
  Kannirendum Ponnu Mele Pottukko
  
  
  A solo by TMS:
  
  Odi Odi Ulaikkanum
  Oorukkellam Kodukkanuim
  Aadippadi Nadakkanum
  Anbai Naalum Valarkkanum
  
  
  END OF KVM in DEVAR FILMS ACTED BY MGR
  In short, some of the best gems of KVM come from Devar films. Most of the Devar films did not have very good storylines, but they never failed to carry great songs. When listing some of the best songs of KVM one would never miss the songs from Devar films.
  
  MGR was so much indebted to Devar. When he was the CM he did pay the due respect to the Devar family. MGR felt that Devar films had helped very much in boosting him. While that may be true from the political front, it is equally true that the songs too had been highly instrumental in pushing the needed image of MGR.
  
  
  
  QUITTING
  
  Dear readers,
  Owing to work pressure, I have posted the last part of Devar Film movies in brevity. I am sorry that I have to now quit to concentrate on some important office matters.
  
  I wish to thank all those who had participated in the discussions with open frankness, without which my own mistakes would have been accepted as absolute truth. The credit rightfully ought to be shared by those who had corrected me.
  
  I hope the many other knowledgeable persons found in abundance here would continue the discussions on KVM. He is an ocean indeed, and I think I have just touched the shore alone.
  
  Thank you.
  Anbudan,
  
  A. Manisegaran
