  Oops Sorry! The Jagathalaprathapan song has NTR singing in front of a big round stone - at the end of the song it explodes revealing a rishi who is totally irritated.....Memory at 30 isn't what it used to be at 20:-)
  
  On a different note has anyone heard this song: Raadhamadhava vinotharaaja enthan manathin premavilaasaa...Sounds like a telugu dubbing. TMS & P Susheela duet heard while falling asleep last night. What in the name of heaven is a 'raadhamadhava vinotharaaja'?

  1st of all, I wanted to say "Aah", and not "Aan". was a 'typo' from me! Sorry about the confusion! Interesting to note that "Aan" was dubbed into Tamil. But, a couple of Naushad tunes from it were adapted by Saluri Rajeswarara Rao for (L.V) Prasad Productions' "pempuDu koDuku" (foster son, 1953), sung by Jikki and AMR. 'Chotisi yeh zindagani' also exists as AMR's solo in Telugu.
  
  Re: Jagathalaprathapan, I would be really curious to know whether Seerkazhi 'alone' sang it!! Even, in Telugu, its till-today-written that Ghantasala alone sang it, Pendyala using the technique of overlaying one track on the other. But, people involved in its picturization say the other way.
  
  I should know the TMS&PS duet you are above refering to... will come back shortly.
  
  Regards,
  Sreenivas

  JV Ragavulu is mentioned earlier. J.V.Ragavulu is the guy who sang the Telugu section in Sindhu Nadhiyin Misai Nilavinile from Kai Koduttha Dheivam. It starts like "Manasidhi Neekosam Mangala Neekosam Mamathavesam Mayani Madhubalam". Wonder whether this is a popular verse in Telugu?

  I was listening to 'yeh zindagi usi ki hai'(anarkali)'s tamil version 'yeh jeevithamae sabalamo'(by Jikki). Which film is this song from?

  Friends:
  
  Which movie is this song from, "Punnahayo Poomalayo Pongi Varum Thamarayo Man Inamo Nadahamo...."? Who were the actors in that movie?

  Srinivas ,
  Could you elaborate on the track-overlaying deployed by Pendyala. Is it true that Pendyala gave Ghantasala somewhere close to a month to work on the song?
  I wonder whether Ghantasala sang any song in the dubbed version (Jagathalaprathapan) of
  Jagatheka veeruni Katha. Even "O Sakhi OSakhi" was sung by TMS in Tamil. I wonder who sang "Inathe O Inathe" in Tamil.
  Could you please E-mail me a list of good Pendyala songs /movies in Telugu/Tamil worth posessing. I remember sending you an E-mail with regards to some video recording of Ghantasala's stage program in US.

  Who was the MD for the foll. Ghantasala songs ?
  
  Oho VeNNilave ...Veesum thendralile
  Engume aanantham aananthame jeevanin

  Srinivas, got your E-mail. I have sent in a reply too. How did CR Subburaman fare in Telugu ?

  'eLiyorai thazhthi valiyorai vazhthum ulagae un seiyalthaan maaradha'(Tms,Radha

  Re: "Ramki"s query:'yeh jeevithamae sabalamo'(by Jikki).... Isn't it from film: kaaveri?
  
  How CRS(bburaman) fared in Telugu. It is no exaggeration that he was more famous in Telugu than in Tamil, and even the no. of films he worked for in Telugu is far higher. He was part of HMV's orchestra before making his film debut as co-componist (the other two were: Saluri Rajeswara Rao and R. chinnayya) in "chenchulakshmi" (1943). In his very first film he shows his great talent. There are numbers from it, which would make you feel that they were from 60s. His next film was bharaNi's (bhaanumati's production house): ratnamaala (1947). Incidentally Ghantasala composed a couple of tunes, for the first time, for this film. He followedup with "laila majnu" (1949, also bharaNi's) which was a MEGA musical hit. Till his death he was the resident composer for bharaNi (prEma-1952, chanDiiraaNi-1953, he did only 3-4 songs. Rest by MSV). "abhimanyu", "mOhini" (1948) were his first in Tamil. I think he has a very good number of Tamil films in '49, mostly Jupiter's productions. The most famous one was, certainly, "vezhaikkari".
  
  From '48 onwards he was also the resident-composer for "pratibha" of G. balaramayya, with super musical hits like: baalaraaju ('48), swapnasundari ('50), Sri lakshamma katha ('50). In 1950/51 he started his own banner: "vinOda" along with the lyricist: samudraala raaghavaachaarya, director/kuchipudi dancer: vEdaantam raaghavayya
  and (producer) DL naaraayaNa. They made streesaahasam ('51) Saanti ('52) and dEvadaasu ('53). 1 & 3 mega musical hits. In fact I can't recall any Tamil film of him after 1950, except
  NS Krishnan's production: manamagaL (peLLikooturu in Telugu, 1951). Well, theres the bi-lingual: marumagaL (ammalakkalu) from 1953.
  
  All in all, his success rate was stupendous! sad that we lost at a very young age of 31.
  
  Regards,
  Sreenivas
  
  P.S. I haven't mentioned about commercially less-succesful films: dharmadEvata, roopavati and daasi.

  Ramamurthy, thanks for the info. "Engume aanantham" came in Telugu as "Anthame aanantham" from the movie "brathuku theruvu". Who was the MD ? Maybe Srinivas can help.

  Friends:
  
  What is your opinion on this song by P.Susheela? "Ennuyir thozhi kael oru saedi iduthana ungal mannavan needhi...". I like this song very much. If you like to listen to it, visit http://members.xoom.com/vetrivels

• From: Rajagopal Adhepalli (@ m21.chn.vsnl.net.in) on: Thu Apr 22 10:52:16 EDT 1999
  
  This song "Ennuyir thozhi....."from Karnan will top the list of songs 'Susheela for Savithri'. Antha Ekkam, Kuzhaivu,..innum enna enna; athanai baavangalai madhurakuralile knoduvaruvaar PS. In fact there areT three other solo songs of PS in the same movie, which are of the same calibre. Kangal Enge.., Kannukku kulamEdhu..,Manjal Ittu.... Two more duets of PS and TMS (Nilavum.. and Maharaajan ulagia...).

  Is Neela kadalin orathil fom Annai Velanganni?-remember this song after a long time..
  
  
• From: raja (@ ws-209-201-91-35.icon.com) on: Fri Apr 23 11:38:02 EDT 1999
  
  Ragapriyan:
  
  Didnt see your reply - that it was from Annai Velanganni. What are the other songs from this film? I remember Poonchittu Kanangal..kannurangu..kannurangu.. (my guess it is from the same film) - melodious tune.
  
  
• From: Sriram Lakshman (@ ifmxlenx.na.informix.com) on: Fri Apr 23 18:01:42 EDT 1999
  
  Raja,
  "Poonchittu KannagaL" is from "Thulabaram". The MD is the same, G.Devarajan. The other songs I remember are "Deva mainthan poginraan" (TMS) and "Vanamenum veethiyile" (KJY & Madhuri).
  
  
• From: Ramki (@ pm062-11.spindler.wmich.edu) on: Fri Apr 23 19:14:48 EDT 1999
  
  One more 'karunai mazhaiye Mary maatha kangal thiravadho'-another great song by PS
  
  
• From: raja (@ spider-tf041.proxy.aol.com) on: Fri Apr 23 20:56:49 EDT 1999
  
  Sriram & Ramki:
  
  I remembered after I had posted and returning from work - that it was from Thulabaram-a case of MD confusion :) Vanamenum is a good tune.
  
  Has G Devarajan's music been analysed - as far as I remember he was a big MD in malayalam..
  
  
• From: Ragapriyan (@ 202.54.37.18) on: Sat Apr 24 01:20:20 EDT 1999
  
  Sriram:
  
  I remember someone (Shashi?) saying in one of the
  threads about making tunes in Bairavi being hard
  (difficult gamakas?) and appreciating Devarajan's
  thiruppaar kadalil paLLi koNdaayE Bairavi
  effort as excellent. Was Devarajan a classical
  expert? I know very little about him. It would be
  interesting to discuss his contributions.
