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!
VaniJayaram.com - A site that has lots of info and songs of VJ.

Kaumudi -
My hope is that many others will add their questions to the list. The deadline is still a bit away - June 30th. There are many here who are familiar with VJs career and can also bring their expertise to the questions. I'd rather just facilitate than interview this time around. If you feel comfortable you can also pass on your given name to me, with city perhaps or just country,or both) so that I can also include that before I ask your chosen question.

A very good mp3 of VJ's 'udalenbaar enadhuyirenbaar' from pudhu cheruppu kadikkum is available at
http://www.tamil.net/people/pksivakumar/jksown.htm
Listening to the song together with Saravanan's writing on MBS and the song made a great experience for me! That site also has an mp3 of 'chiththirappoo sElai' by SPB in the same movie, another wonderful song.

1978- Part 9:
The last two episodes of the 1978 trail were devoted to commemoration of and commiseration for those few, who despite their unquestioned talent could never make it big in the annals of tfm. This time, for a change, let us joyously celebrate a success story- a stunning success story called Ilayaraja. We have seen how Ilayaraja burst upon the scene with the wonderful songs of Annakkili in 1976, and how he rapidly ascended the throne of an unparalleled monarch of all he surveyed. In those early years, each film that had IR in its credits boasted of an enchanting set of songs- songs that sounded so refreshingly different than the ones people were accustomed to hitherto -----
Films of all types came IR’s way—trail-blazing landmark ventures by fresh and bold film makers or banal clichéd themes by fading veterans desperate for a success- all of them came to IR’s hands, to have their appeal enhanced tenfold by his lilting compositions.
21 films came out in 1978 festooned with IR’s music, and many of them are remembered today only for their magical songs.
As in the previous two years, in 1978 too IR showed his marked partiality for SJ by giving her the maximum number of songs, and SJ fully justified the trust IR placed in her by her remarkable vocal artistry. Jikki, PS and LRE were the other veterans who sang some memorable songs for IR this year. (PS especially had some amazing songs) While Manorama and BSS too came under IR’s baton, two singers whom IR introduced this year were Jency and Shobha Chandrasekhar.
Since we have already discussed in detail the songs that these singers sang for IR in 1978, let us proceed forthwith to recollect the songs that came VJ’s way from the IR stable.
We have to accept that the numbers were less—only 8- but instead of sighing over the measly number of songs that IR gave VJ, let us, like Pollyanna, jump with joy, thinking of those exquisite creations, and how Vani added lingering lustre to them—Each song is classic, and each one cast in a different mould, and Vani rendered each one of them with captivating grace and effortless élan.
155. Orey Naal unnai naan- Ilamai Oonjalaadugiradhu- SPB- IR
Sri Chitra’s Ilamai Oonjalaadugiradhu starred Kamal, Rajnikant, Sripriya, Jayachitra, YGP and V Gopalakrishnan. It was produced by Kanniah and directed by veteran Sridhar.
It was a cloudy evening in the first week of April this year- the Mini Hall at Music Academy, was overflowing with people. The event was the release of ‘Thirumbi Paarkiren’ –an autobiography by C.V Sridhar. Dressed in a pale blue shirt and a white pant, Sridhar, frail and ravaged by years of suffering from a paralytic stroke, had to be brought to the podium in a wheelchair.
Directors from across the decades were present in full measure, for wasn’t this the genius they looked upon their Guru, whose every film was a lesson in various nuances of film craft? KSG (who worked as Sridhar’s assistant), Muktha Srinivasan, Sridhar’s (cousin?) brother CV Rajendran, Balu Mahendra, Vasanth, Lingusami----all showered encomiums upon the trend-setting genius. Gemini Ganesh, PBS, Srikanth and others looked on, perhaps filled with memories of another day. Vairamuthu who shot to fame with his lyrics for Sridhar’s Ninaivellaam Nithya was warm in his admiration “ Silarathu vetrigal kooda salanamillamal adangippogum—Aanaal, sila perudaiya tholvigal kooda sarithiramaagum- Ungal tholvigalum appadithaan”. And when the entire hall stood up to give him a standing ovation, Sridhar’s eyes brimmed with tears; his face became distorted with emotion, he unashamedly broke down--
Where would his thoughts have gone at that momentous moment? His childhood at Chithamoor, a small hamlet near Madhuranthakam—his school days at St. Joseph School, Chenglepet --- his knocking the doors of various production houses for opportunities- his ‘Ethirpaaraathathu’ unexpectedly getting selected over KSG’s ‘Thambi’ by Saravanabhava-Unity Pictures in 1954—his involvement in the making of memorable ventures like Yaar Paiyan, Engal Veettu Mahalakshmi, Uthama Puthiran, Amaradeepam, Punarjenmam—the big break with the landmark Kalyana Parisu- his experiences with great musicians like AM Raja and Chalapathi Rao—his outstanding works with the Chitralaya team that comprised of stalwarts like Aloysius Vincent (camera), Gopu (script), P Madhavan (his assistant in the initial years), MN Shankar (editing)---the countless hours spent with Kannadasan & V-R, squeezing the best out of them----the epoch making Nenjil Or Aalayam-the runaway success of Kaadhalikka Neramillai—the sorrow of failures like Sumaithaangi & Kalaikkoyil--- his calling the shots to giants like MGR, Sivaji Ganesan, Meena Kumari, Vyjayanthimala, Padmini, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, and even Amitabh Bachchan—his vision that transformed a bubbly teenager into a seasoned actress overnight in the film Vennira Aadai—his refreshing experiments with the same eternal love triangle in film after film, but each with a different dimension—the unparalleled name he carved for himself in Bollywood with his brilliant remakes in Hindi-the numerous stars who were launched by him, right from Ravichandran & Kanchana to today’s blue-eyed boy of Kodambakkam-Vikram---his works with generations like Muthuraman and Gemini Ganesh to Karthik and Jiji---his family, comprising of wife Devasena, son Sanjay & daughter Sripriya, who staunchly stood by him in success and failure—----
--What a kaleidoscope of moving memories must he have been filled with--- -Nenjam Marapathillai--
Truly, Sridhar stands tall as the path-breaking pioneer who explored human emotions in celluloid like no one else did. His long career is studded with records- the first Tamil film to be completed in record time, the first Tamil film to be made in Eastman Colour, the first Tamil film to be shot abroad, the first Tamil film that had its lead players appearing without make-up, I believe even the first Tamil film to be given an ‘A’ certificate (a dubious distinction!). Thinking back on his films, I wonder if Sridhar ever got the recognition he so richly deserved--- Among the awards that came his way, I can recall that he bagged the prestigious Filmfare Award for the Best Story (Nazrana) as early as 1961. The Tamil Nadu Government honoured him belatedly in 1997- under its ‘Kalaithurai Viththagar’ Award Scheme, Sridhar was honoured with the Arignar Anna Award, comprising of a Gold medal and a memento. Bharat Kalachar honoured him with its ‘Natya Kaladhar’ Award during its 10th Margazhi Mahotsav on December 13th, 1996. Priya Vision honoured Sridhar with a Lifetime Achievement Award on July 21st 2002, to coincide with the first anniversary of Sivaji Ganesan’s demise. Without meaning any disrespect to these awards, don’t you all agree that Sridhar deserves much higher honours?
Don’t you fret, Sir—Nenjirukkum Varai ungal ninavairikkum—
And beginning from ‘Neeraada neram nalla neram’- Vaira Nenjam- 1975, Vani featured regularly in many of Sridhar’s films- irrespective of who the MD was – MSV (Oh Manju, Meenava Nanban, Mohana Punnagai, Aalaya Deepam, IR (IO, Azhage Unnai Aaradhikkiren, Unnai Thedi Varuven), Vijayabhaskar (Soundaryame Varuga Varuga), SPB (Thudikkum Karangal), S-G (Kulirkaala Megangal), Ananda Shankar (Yaaro Ezhuthiya Kavithai)—Vani sang songs of everlasting appeal in all of them--
Of course, Vani, with Jairam alongside was seated right in the front row that wistful evening, watching Sridhar being felicitated- was she nostalgically reminiscing on those wonderful songs that she sang in Sridhar’s films- Aagayam kaanaatha sooryodhayam, ennalum theyaadha chandrodhayam—
1977 saw Sridhar giving a hit with MGR in Meenava Nanban at the time when MGR became the CM of TN. The 70s, as a whole were not successful for Sridhar, save his two films with MGR. In fact, his last two ventures- Vaira Nenjam and Oh, Manju were commercial catastrophes. Sridhar realised that he had to do something different, and decided to go all out to woo the youngsters of the late 70s. Unceremoniously shaking off his historical association with MSV, he went to IR for Ilamai Oonjalaadugirathu. And this marked the beginning of Sridhar’s films with IR. IO was followed by Azhagae Unnai Aaraadhikkiraen-1979, Ninaivellam Nithya-1982, Oru Odai Nadiyaagirathu-1983, Thendralae Ennai thodu & Unnai Thedi varuven-both 1985, Naanum Oru Thozhilaali-1986, Iniya Uravu Poothathu-1987 and Thandhuvitten Ennai-1991- Doubtless most of these films are forgettable, but can you say the same of the songs?
It is now nearly 25 years since IO was released—it came out on 9th June, 1978.
And the film was a stupendous success, proving that Sridhar’s midas touch was still intact. It ran for over 25 weeks. The TN Govt, however condescended to bestow only the 3rd Best Film Award of 1978-79 to Ilamai Oonjalaadugirathu. (1st- Mullum malarum, 2nd- Aval Appadithaan).
Sridhar brought it out in Telugu as well with the same lead players- Vayasu Pilichindi was released on 4th August, 1978, and was a big hit. But when he made it in Hindi with Rajesh Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Jayaprada and Smita Patil,(Dil-E-Nadan-1982), the magic had gone stale.
The story revolved around 4 persons, their innermost desires, the turbulent human relationships- both emotional and physical, and bitter sweet moments of life. Rajnikant played the rich tycoon, and Kamal his poor bosom pal. Sripriya is Kamal’s beloved, while Jayachitra is her friend, who is widowed at a very young age. With a cleverly crafted script and ensemble performance, the film made riveting viewing. Sripriya in the role of Padma, who finds her world going topsy-turvy when she finds that her lover has slept with her best friend, and Jayachitra, in the role of Jayanthi, the young widow, whose physical cravings lead her to seduce her friend’s lover, and who is filled with guilt in the aftermath, brought rare understanding and dignity to their roles.
IR added to the attractive elements of the film with his set of fantastic songs- Other songs being ‘Kinnathil then vadithu’-KJY-SJ, ‘Ennadi Meenatchi sonnadhu ennaachu’-SPB and ‘Thanni karuthiruchu’-MV- songs that are still immensely popular a quarter century later. Vaali wrote the lyrics for all the songs.
This song has Kamal and Sripriya seated in a restaurant. Another of Sridhar’s innovative touches- the radio in the restaurant announces’ ‘Adutha paadal ‘Ilamai Oonjalaadugirathu’ endra padathilirundhu---’, and as the wonderful prelude music is heard, you can see Sripriya mouthing the words ‘I love this song!’ We too love it--

There was something in the air that night—the night when he first espied her in the moonlight, and his life has never been the same since—what enticing lyrics, soaked in the magic of romance---
What am I going to say more about this song- the song that you all know so well and like so much?! IR gives a mesmerising flute and guitar prelude, and a violin that keeps playing as the singers render the pallavi. The interludes are simply dazzling- my favourite is the second one where the guitar seems to come to life and follow a bewitched path of its own. The third interlude has the singers giving a lovely humming, a humming that seems more like a scintillating question-answer session! Among the best SPB-VJ duets ever! Bravo, IR! Iravum—pagalum—(indha)isai muzhanga—
The Telugu version ‘Ilaage ilaage saraga maadithe’ was sung by SPB-PS.
Khayyam composed ‘Chaandni raath mein ek baar tujhe dekha hai’ for Dil-E-Nadan, sung by Lata & Kishore Kumar.
156. Nee kettaal nnan maaten endra- Ilamai Oonjalaadugiradhu-IR
A great VJ solo—Sripriya and Kamal romancing in the Marina Beach—I vaguely remember that she snatches his cigarette packet, and when he demands it back, she breaks into this delightful song--
Nee kettaal naan maatten endra solven kanna--
en kannum ila nenjum endrum undhan pinnaal--
naan sathiyam kaakkum uthamiyakkum--
sonnathai ketkkum pathiniyakkum---- haiyya!
Anbe unai

Thamarai poovil then sidhara

Nee konja konja--

Nam inbathin ellaigal kanna engo—engo—ammamma--
Kallooriyil

paadangalum
sollamale puriya
Nee oru kaathal nool nilaiyam
Pon maalai thorum--
un leelai kaanum--
En pennmaikkum menmaikkum kanna naanum nee thaan sondhamo—
VJ ushers in an uncharacteristic air of deliciously nonchalant irreverence in the song, and this works overtime to add buoyancy to IR’s imaginative composition.
How much intoxication she drenches ‘Sollamale puriya’ with! And just when you thought the song had ended, VJ commences with a breezy humming, which leaps and bounds and returns triumphantly to another round of the pallavi- this time it is the end, unfortunately!
The Telugu version was also rendered by VJ and ‘Nuvvadigindi yenadaina kadannana’ won VJ rapturous fans across the length and breadth of Andhra.
157. Thaali ondru thevai enna- Thirukkalyanam- IR
Vasanthalaya Pictures’ Thirukkalyanam starred Vijayakumar, Srividya, Radha Ravi and others. No clue about its story etc, but the lyrics of the songs suggest a theme of reincarnation/ extra-marital complications.
Thirukkalyanam is one of the three films ever (Sollathaan Ninaikkiren and Ninaithaale Inikkum being the other two), to have songs by four great female singers of tfm- SJ, PS, VJ and LRE. ‘Alaiyae kadal alaiyae, yaen aadugiraai, enna thedugiraai, inba ninaivinil paadugiraai’ is a lovely duet by JC-SJ. ‘Devathaigal vaazhthuvadhu devi endhan kalyanamae’ is a remarkable SJ-PS duet, in which SJ makes an entry with the line ‘Ethanai piravigal eduthaalum’ in the same tune as the charanam of ‘Alaiye kadal alaiye’, which then seamlessly blends into the pallavi of ‘Devathaigal vaazhthuvathu’! LRE-MV had a blast in the comedy song ‘Nee mohiniya, illaatti Oorvasiya’. (Generally, IR gave very few songs to LRE-the other songs in the LRE-IR combination that I can recall are ‘One-two-chachacha’-Nallathoru Kudumbam, and ‘Manappaarai sandhayilae’-Idhayathil Oru Idam)
‘Thaali ondru thevai enna’ is a solo steeped in melancholy, the plaintive resignation of the ‘other woman’ to her unenviable lot. She seems to do a philosophical shrug, in the lines of the ABBA song that goes ‘The winner takes it all--The loser has to fall--It's simple and it's plain--Why should I complain?’
Thaali ondru thevai enna
maanaseega vaazhvil?
Dharmamenum sannidhiyil-
kaathal ondru podhumadi!
Sevai seiyya ninaitha manam-
verethaiyum ninappathillai;
Deivam thandha vazhi nadanthaal-
ennaalum thanimaiyillai!
Parvathikku Gangai vandhaal--
Deviyudan Valli vandhaal--
naanum oru Gangai alla--
Nayaganum Sivanum alla!
Sindhanaiyil vaazhndhirundhaal-
Deiva sugam kodi varum;
Theraatha vaazhvinilum--
kanneril kavithai varum!
Ullirukkum kovililey-
Or Iraivan kudi irukka-
Ooraarkku katchiyenna,
Unmaikku satchiyenna?!
Karpparasi neeyirukka--
Kannagiyai polirukka--
innum oru kaadhaliyaa,
naan enna Madhaviyaa?
Un nizhalai paarkkayiley-
Kallellaam urugumadi!
En kathaiyai vittu vidu--
Ennodu mudiyumadi!
Mythological parallels galore, she finds solace in her calm acceptance of her fate. She seems to console herself by stating that she doesn’t need a formalised marriage, as she lives in a make-believe world where love will suffice.
Vani fetchingly brings in the defiant bravado of the character in her song. Each line is laced with just the correct measure of grief that is bound to move the listener’s heart. The slow and emotion choked ‘En kathaiyai vittu vidu, ennodu mudiyumadi’ gives the song a poignant ending.
IR gives some wonderful interludes. Whilst the first and third interludes are similar and have some haunting violin and veenai notes, it is the second interlude that must be savoured- the amazing bits where you hear both the veenai and the guitar with some notes on the flute are verily enthralling.
158. Thanakkoru Sorgathai – Vaazha Ninaithaal Vaazhalaam- IR
Sri Kamakoti Movies’ Vaazha Ninaithaal Vaazhalaam starred Jaishankar, Sripriya, Jayadevi, Manorama and others. I have seen it long back on TV, and vaguely recall it as being another mundane love triangle- Jai loves Sripriya, but by a quirky turn of events marries Jayadevi. Domestic bliss prevails- till Sripriya enters his life again- the usual emotional upheavals later, all is well that ends well. Manorama’s comedy track was particularly memorable- her ‘Oru china maiii--’ remains one of her best comic scenes ever!
Among the songs, SJ’s enchanting ‘Veenai meettum kaigaley, maalai soottavaa’ was the chart topper. Manorama’s ‘Kaanaangkurivikku kalyanamaam, enga Maanamarudhayil oorgolamaam’ was a great fun-filled number. ‘Iyarkkai rathangaley, ulagai marakkum manangaley’ was a fast-paced TMS-PS duet.
Let us now look at this song by Vani. It is a very different song, composed in the ‘Qawali’ style. Thinking back, you will realize that years later IR shaped the song ‘Aththi marappoovithu’ (Sadhanai, SJ) in the lines of this VJ song.
Thanakkoru sorgathai amaitha devadhai
sandhegam irundhaal paarungal--
Thadai poda----
Manithargalae neengalaa?
Oru vaanum nilavum sera yaarai ketppathu?!
Arasanin maganalla Ambikapathi--
Amarakaviyam paadinaal Amaravathi;
Iraivanin saalaiyil vidhitha vidhi--
Arasan thaliyittaan--
adhu thaan gadhi--
adhu thaan gadhi!
Pavalangal ellam malaiyil pirandhum-
malaikkavai sondhamillai;
Oru pandaram kooda anindhidakkoodum
adhiloru thavarumillai!
Panamulla idam ulagai aattalaam-
pagutharivulla uravum aadumaa?
Manmey---------
Nadhi sellum vazhithannai yaar sonnathu,
Oru vaanum nilavum sera yaarai ketppathu?!
Kaathal enbathu devanin sannithi--
thadaiyendru vandhaal mudivu thaan nimmadhi;
Thandhaiyin perumaiyaa magalin nargadhi--
Thaan endru ninaipporkku--
ilaiyo sandhathi--
illaiyo sandhathi?
Kanivittathodu kadamai mudindhadhu--
kaigalai kazhuvungal!
Andha kaniyai azhagiya kili ondru rasikkattum--
Kanngalai moodungal!
Ulagamum ithu ulundhu pondradhu--
Maranamum ithil kadugu pondradhu--
Manamey------
Maranathil thaan ini pirivenbadhu,
Oru vaanum nilavum sera yaarai ketppathu?!
The song, with its refreshing lyrics, seems to be a warning to parents not to oppose their children when they fall in love. VJ casts a spell in the breathless aalaap that the song opens with- and the spell lasts long after the song is over. The anklets, harmonium and tabla add to ‘Kotha’ like ambience of the song. VJ’s prolonged ‘Thadai poda----Manithargalae neengalaa’, followed immediately by the brisk singsong ‘Oru vaanum nilavum sera yaarai ketpathu’ leaves you dazed with its swift, yet soulful execution.
The first four lines of each charanam are rendered in a high-pitched, slow thogayara style, replete with gamakas that are truly astounding. IR himself must have felt it so, for he expresses his admiration by having only the sound of hands clapping and a muted Tabla as the accompaniment to Vani. The chorus voices are a distraction that IR could have avoided. Then the pace becomes more frenzied- the high-pitched and briga-endowed ‘Manamey----’ being the breathtaking high point of the soiree. Top class!
-Next time, we’ll look at the other 4 songs that Vani sang for IR in 1978--

Saravanan -
While your industry and dedication to the VJ chronology (and a body of textuality and context therein) is evidenced on these pages, I have to admit that the response around here is not commensurate with your effort. This saddens me.
Often, I've negated my own thinking on agendas and bias, conferring the benefit of doubt to all and sundry,but lately it seems less and less rational - like chronic excuse-making.
VJ, by all accounts, is not exactly revered in any obvious manner by most posters in these forums. One can theorise and hypothesise on why this may be, but that only leads to recriminations and more gallng grist for the mill. It's moot.
However:
Why such fine artiste, an artiste who has given us so many moments of excellence in film/genre music, and who has maintained a dignified distance from the numbers game, while still bringing us the best in language and execution fails to strike a genuine chord in many other posters is, and will always remain, a mystery.
On behalf of all who want to say but cannot bring themselves to say, and all those who will say and do so in the next little while, let me, pulling rank as the "high-priest" of the VJ bhajanamandali, extend my kudos to you, your deligence and your sincere appreciation of this inexplicably marginalised singer. Your spotlight on these evergreen songs demonstrate an aesthetic and ardour which befits the artiste you have chosen ( I have no doubt that should you choose another personality, your commitment to their work will be no less) and makes us realise what greatness we have in our midst.
Each little vignette of yours on VJ is a memento, a talisman, a perfectly formed egg.
Keep us enthralled. Please.

The lyrics are crystal clear! The cigarette packet snatching is only a clever ploy to hoodwink the unpredictable censors and not us, the discerning viewers!!!!
