It is not from a movie.

It a 'baila' song in Sinhala. A Tamil version of the song was recorded by A. E. Manoharan - an eelam tamil.

He appeared in a few Tamil movies as well, where his name was Ceylon Manohar. One such movie is Sivaji's Pilot Premnath (an Indo-Ceylon co-production)

Look up some Sinhala or Eelam Tamil sites and look for 'pop songs' or 'baila songs'.

The song also was modified/enhanced by IR and made an appearance in the film Avar Enakkey Sondham.

Suranganita malu genawa means I brought fish for Surangani

Surangani is just a name of a girl/woman

Malu is fish in sinhala
From: isai_nanban (@ 68.77.8.29) on: Mon Sep 22 18:04:56 EDT 2003

would you believe if I said that among all the 100s of songs IR composed in the 70s and early 80s, Surangani was the most popular among south Indian schoolkids for many years?!!!!!! honestly, it is a magical tune, to this day there is no simple tune that can be enthusiastically and unabashedly sung by anyone than Suragani!!! It is like Bombayi Se Aaya Mera Dost for north India... same same. Pls. correct me if i am wrong in this observasun.

Lord Saapad Ram,
hmmmm.....what is the meaning of Dingiri Banda in Sinhala? I have heard this term, probably in an article on Ranatunga, I think!
From: DB Wijetunga (@ 198.73.152.100) on: Thu Sep 25 11:58:50 EDT 2003

he he he. so you figured out that Lord Saapad Ram has an avathar called Dingiri Banda.

Dingri Banda is just a name. Only low caste sinhalese have such names. The high caste Sinhalese have names ending with 'wardane' (as in J R Jeyawardene) and 'nayake' (as in S W R D Bandaranayake). (the sinhala caste system is just as mean spirited as our own stupid system)

Sri Lanka had a past president called Dingiri Banda Wijetunga.

The name Banda is equalant to the english names Tom, D*ick, and Harry - ie; a commonner. They might have called Arjuna a Dingiri Banda in this sense. Other than that, he is a Sinhala supremacist pig, and a pretty good bat.
From: Prabhu (@ 156.153.255.134) on: Thu Sep 25 16:43:50 EDT 2003

Lord Saapad Ram,
Yup, Wijetunga is the one i was after, not Ranatunga!! Thanks for the confirmation.

Do you have a bro called Lord Paapad Ram?
From: LSR (@ 198.73.152.100) on: Thu Sep 25 16:52:45 EDT 2003

Dingri Banda Wijetunga became president of Sri Lanka and served as such for a short time in between R. Premadasa and the current president Chandrika the witch.

I am not aware of a brother. If I do have one, my parents did not tell me about him. May be they themselves are unaware of it.
From: Prabhu (@ 156.153.255.134) on: Thu Sep 25 18:15:29 EDT 2003

Interesting fact about Premadasa's death....Monica Seles was stabbed on 30.4.1993, Premadasa assassinated on 1.5.1993 and Ayrton Senna died on 30.4.1994!
Ever heard of Mahadev Sathasivam, the Srilankan Tamil whom Sobers called the greatest batsman ever on earth? He played FC cricket in the 60s and 70s
From: GG Ponnambalam (@ 198.73.152.100) on: Fri Sep 26 11:50:50 EDT 2003

Sathasivam was the first, and probably the only, man to captain two national teams.

He was captain of Singapore and then Captain of Ceylon (That's what Sri Lanaka used to be called those days.)

His later day life was a missery as he was accused of murdering his wife and he lost all his fame and goodwill.

Moral of the story: Never Murder Your Wife.
From: super naansense (@ 68.77.8.29) on: Fri Sep 26 12:51:33 EDT 2003

GG Ponnambalam: with due regards, "never have two wifes" is more moral and les miserable ;--)

Could anyone provide a link of the song to Ilayaraaja's version of suraangani in Avar enekkey sondham...

Hi, if you're interested in the meaning of the song this is a rough translation. It's meant to be a jovial song, and as always when translating to English some of the nuances are lost. Anyway this is one of my favourite songs as well!

people are watching from here and there

your eyes are getting red
it makes me want to cry too

I wonder why this is
that you are not accepting the fish
it looks like you are angry
you say no you don't want them
and shout at me for bringing them
fish are dancing on my body! (ie I'm confused)
