I'm a new visitor to this website. I couldn't see anyone discussing about Vani Jayaram's songs.
Let me start this one.(It had been there previously pls. forgive me!)
"Ezhu swarangalukkul ethanai paadal..
Ithaya surangathul ethanai kelvi...
Vaazhum manitharukkul ethanai salanam.."
Wow! Beautiful voice!

Jay, thanks.
Ramki, there are a few songs that I don't know the movie titles for. This may not be what you are looking for. But thought I will list them anyway.
- evaLo oru peNNAm avaL nAnillaiyAm
- ammAdi konja nEram konja vEndum Odi vA
- veLLikkizhama vidigAla ... vaigAlam
- mayakkamA oru thayakkamA ... maNNasaiyA peNNAsaiyA ponnAsaiyA
- kodivitta cirumullai malarE
- enakkenna manakkavalai inippillai kasappumillai

Neels:
I remember 3 songs of the list you have given:
1. Mayor Meenatchi:
--- evaLo oru peNNAm avaL nAnillaiyAm
--- kodivitta cirumullai malarE
2. Sorgathin Thirappu Vizha(latha in a rainy song with only a full shirt, JHOL!!!!!!!!!!, still remember the scene though saw in 1st/2nd std)
enakkenna manakkavalai inippillai kasappumillai
I agree with you about her Solos.. Great singer sadly lost due to mindless politics!!!.

Neel- the last song u had listed -Maname solaiyam-was from Adu puli yattam.
I guess shankar Ganesh were the only one apart from KV mahadevan who gave her some best songs.
Even when I hear the song
yaaradu sollamal nenjalli poovathu
or the song
veru idam thedi povaloo
I get goose bumps

Eden:
Chacha! Neenga ninaikkira mathirellam onnum illai. I sometimes seldom forget some scenes and this was just one of them!! I remember this because my people felt so embarrassed to having taken to this film as there was not good warnings, I think!!!
Sorry decent placela ennaiye asinga paduthikitten!
Mrs MUralikrishna:
These were not sung by VJ. SJ sung these:
5. Malare kurinji malare....
7. Kaatrukenna veli kadalukenna moodi...
PS sung this:
8. Azhagenum oviyam inge unai ezhudhiya....

Always felt many of Jency's song are supposed to be for VJ . Eg. Oru Iniya manadhu(Jaani)(Would have been a defenite contender to SJ's Kaatril), Adi Penney(MuLLum Malarum), Deiveega raagam(well Jency did good, but still VJ would have topped this song....)

Neel i couldnt find that song but thanks for your list
Balaji 'pallaandu vazhgu' as a whole is a big embarassment to TF. Have you seen the hindi original?(do aankhen baarah haath). If i were shantharam i would have taken MGR to court :)

I saw "Naalu perukku Nandri..." yesterday mmmm VJ sang a really bad one. MSV you too? :-)

Ramki:
Thank God I had not seen 'Pallandu Vazhga'. My father was a great Shantharam fan (He praises Navrang and it songs, remember that multi-kudam in Sandhya's head, and was biased towards HFM) and that created in me an Anti-Hindi fan. Later I had a chance to see his movies and realized that what a good director he was..
Sure seeing the posters and reviews, I could visualize what a bad film 'PV' would have been and here you are to vouch for it.
By any chance due to you have 'Ammadi Kanna un Idhayam' sung by PS & VJ from 'Padha Poojai'

Balaji Im a big fan of shantaram myself. His 'shakunthala' is a mastepiece shouldnt be missed.
It is 'kannadi amma un idhayam en kaane naan adhai parthaal' from paadha poojai
No we dont have that song, neither does sk.

Ramki:
RighT!
Digression:
== Can u provide some details of 'Shakunthala' -- I think I have seen it, but don't remember. Does it have Sandhya and Shantaram as the lead pair?

I had the opportunity to see both Do ankhen barah haath and pallandu vazhga.
Pallandu vazhga was such a horrible/vulgar remake of the classy do ankhen barah haath.True shantaram would ahve committed suicide if he had seen the tamil version

When I was a student in (+2) in Gill Adarsh matriculation (Madras), one of VJ's bhajan was indeed our prayer song. Hum ko man ki shakti dena (this is the opening song in the movie-guddi)- a beautiful soul stirring bhajan rendered effortlessly by VJ. Sure I miss those days listening to VJs' solos.
- From: Ramki (@ ws55.telsoft.net)
on: Thu Jun 22 16:11:23 EDT 2000
Balaji I dont think the hero was shantharam but yes Sandhya was the heroine
Vasant thats a beautiful prayer by VJ(do u remember the scene, Jaya sneaking into the assembly hall and principal watching the students with one open eye-kya scene hai:))
When Guddi was remade as 'cinema paithiyam'
"bolo re pappi" became 'en uLLam azhagaana veLLi thirai"
Anyidea on the tamil version of 'hum ko man ki shakthi dena'?

Balaji and Ramki,
The V.Shantaram's movie name is STREE(women) not Shakuntala.But the story is based on Shakuntala.Yes the hero is V.Shantaram ane heroin is Sandhya. The Songs are so pretty.I Think the MD is Vasant Desai or C.Ramachandra.
Regards
meera

Meera nope
Shakuntala was released in 1943. It had sandhya in a supporting role. Jaishree played the role of Shakuntala with kumar Ganesh in the role of Bharath.
Vasant Desai was the MD
Stree was released in early 60s (1962 or 63) which had Sandya and Shantharam. Music was by CRamachandra. If im not wrong this was one of the last few movies he directed(chehra and boondh jo ban gayi moti were the others)
Sorry we are digressing from the topic
Back to VJ Please

Hi, Does anyone what movie this song is from?

This is of course off-topic (like that's new in this DF:-) MGR copied Shantaram's white topi as well during the making of this film? I don't think Shantaram ever saw the movie since he continued to be good friends with MGR:-) What was the tamil equivalent of tak tak dhoom dhoom?
Ramki: I'm impressed that anyone has seen Shantaram's '43 movie - and that too a TFM DF'er! Is it available in the US or was this a late night DD offering?
On VJ: There are a number of unsung gems in minor movies - semiclassical numbers in Bala Nagamma (mus: IR), Mupperum Deviyar (MSV)and Bhaktha Hanuman (V Dakshinamoorthy)come to mind. And, yes I recently watched these - got 'em in Madras @ Raj Video Vision.

KK i watched them on DD in early 80s(saturday 5.30 pm)
Neel 'mazhai kaala megam' is from 'tharaiyil vazhum meengaL'(Ambika and a new guy)-Chandrabose is the MD(he has done the humming in this song)

More on VJ's songs
Nalamo yena naan ketten- a powerful solo by VJ picturised on Saritha (Nenjil oru raagam). I guess in the same movie an other song was sung by Sjanaki.
I don't seem to remember the lines-VJ has also sung (solo) in the movie Achamillai Achamillai. Does anyone remember the lines?
Varuvan vadi velan - title song
Some of my favourites in other lang. malayalam-VJ song in Manjil virinja pookal, The last climax song in the movie swarna kamalam (Telegu) - a powerful dance song picturised on bhanupriya, I too like this song -Dheere sheere subh hoyee-in the Hindi movie Haisiyat (after a long gap she sang this song -Bappi lahiri MD).
Are there any other singers who has sung all the songs in a movie that too all solos?
VJ sang all the songs in the movie Meera, all solos, composed in different raagas.
In other thread in this news group -regarding TFM isai kuil-people seem to have totally forgotten VJ. Thou. she is not singing in TF, but she did leave a deep impact.

Vasant, there's this film "Karpagam" in Tamil where all the songs are solos and sung by P Suseela.
- From: kk (@ ts3-171.silcon.com)
on: Sat Jun 24 23:43:34 EDT 2000
dheere dheere is a yesudas solo, unless there's also a vj version? BTW, VJ's hindi bhajans are a treat - there's one w/ music by Pt. Raghunath Seth (famous hindusthani flute player), and another that came out recently on BMG?
Her tamil/sanskrit devotional albums are pretty good too - there are a couple of albums on meenakshi (kunguma nayaki) w/ decent lyrics, one on various thirumaal temples, and the geetagovindham. A very unusual album is her duet w/ Seerkazhi singing a translation of the kanakadhaara stotram in tamil (by Ulundhurpettai Shanmugham). I didn't think the voices would go well together, but it was pleasant.
