Saravanan: Remarkable song and great write-up. Let me add the other charanam:Unmaikku Oru satchi Poi solla pala satchi, yarrukkum nee allava, nenje manidanin nizhalallava; aasayil kallagi, acchatthil mezhugaagi, yaar mugam paarthaalum aiyatthil thavippaye...

Saravanan,
Last week I was thinking of requesting you for this song as well as Sigaram's "PAnchali kadarugiRAL, ParanthAman varavillai", also by Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna.
The former, from Noolveli is set to raga "Sama", which is such a soothing raga, very rarely handled by film music MDs. Also, there are very few Carnatic compositions in this raga. "Manasa Sancharare" by Sadashiva Brahmendra, is a well-known example, which was popularised by Vani Jayaram and SPB in KVM's Shankarabharanam. Other known Krithis include, Tyagayya's "Shantamulekha", Dikshitar's "Annapurne Visalakshi"
The latter, in raga Chakravaham is also a unique number, but in terms of the structure of the composition, melody, lyrics as well as Balaurali's rendition, MSV's Noolveli song ranks way up! What a composition. I remember watching the movie on Rupavahini (Ceylon TV) in B&W many years ago and being reprimanded by elders to switch off the TV, as it was an "A" film.
If I were to pick a single film song of Balamurali in TFM, I would pick this one. "ChinnakkaNnan AzhaikkiRAn" will be No. 2.
Thanks once again!

Saravanan: Among BMK's later songs for MSV, "Thangam Vairam" and " Idu Ketkathigattadha" seem to have gone virtually unnoticed though they too are excellent compositions (particularly the string of swaras in the latter).

Song of the Day: poonkaatru veesum from Mr.Madras.
http://www.newtfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/poonveesum.rm
- Sung by S.P.B. Music by Vidyasagar.
- This is one of the overlooked songs by VS. As a film, Mr.Madras was a train-wreck. It had Prabhu as Mr. Madras, with Vinitha and Sukanya vying for him. There was a Koundamani-Senthil track as well. I think the film was directed by P.Vasu, in his lean period when his movies like Love Birds and Coolie flopped. This is the only notable song from the movie.

Noolveli will always be remebered for its outstanding songs& lyrics & an unsual theme.The lyrics brings the extraordinary situation wherein the wife knows,the lover knows,the husband& the girl know that the wife and the lover know but no one can control of the situation.Who else other than KD can knit the situation into an absorbing song!yaar mugam parthalum iyathil thavikkim.....Wonderful.One of the few situations wherein during an "asareeri song" the viewer wont leave the cinema hall for a refreshment!
BMK has done a great job.MSV's choice of Chama (a karunya Rasa raga) pleading for a solution.......very imaginative.
Poonkaatru vesum - certainly a song that improved upwards,VS's status from the B-Grade composer tag.But still he is yet to arrive in A grade,hovering somewhere around A - rating! The touch of Thilang,SPB, coupled with the nice guitar work makes this song a good choice.
P.Vasu's lean period must have been the "Golden Age" of Tamil films.I wish him the leanest period.

I remember another song 'andha othai maadu eppo varumo' from this movie..I've gone thro' the pain of watching P.Vasu's lean period movies :((..SOTD is a nice song though... Prabhu would take the guitar in his shoulders like a Gadhai..:)

Song of the Day: chinna mamiyE
http://www.newtfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/chinnamami.rm
- A different song for this weekend. Thanks to Kitkat for this song.
- Kitkat writes:
Radio Ceylon has been the reason for a lot of us to become TFM fans. Especially in the 70s and early 80's a lot good songs were introduced to us thru Radio Ceylon. A lot of personalities who otherwise would have gone unnoticed came to our attention through Radio Ceylon. e.g. K.S.Raja, Abdul hameed and so on. One such introduction to us was today's SOTD.
The song was "Chinna Maamiyae". The song had a uniform tune in all the paragraphs but still was able to get you dancing. Many A lot of versions of this song (like pattu mamiyae) were heard as days went by,especially with the female lead changing now and then. However the male voice was that of A.E Manoharan. Also known as Ceylon Manohar, this and many of the songs he sang were very popular. The Genre' "Baila" came into existance after this song. Announced in Radio Ceylon as Pop Isai Padalgal (with POP spelt the typical ceylonese way) Baila's came to stay... at least in our heart. Surangani was another famous Baila brought into TFM by Ilayaraja in Avar Enakkae Sondham. A.E. Manoharan sang that song too. He also sang songs like "Coattu Poatta Mudhalalikku Columbula dhaan kalyanam" in Pilot Premnath, and of late "Pathala Pathala" in Virumbugiren. Ceylon Manohar also acted in quite a few tamil movies. He starred lately in Jay Jay albiet without his trademark "Saibaba style" hairdo.
NewsToday had an article about A. E.Manoharan a year or so ago.
Staging a comeback
-News Today
Hailing from Ceylon, this man is much admired by Tamils all over the world for his hit song Surangani. A connoisseur of music, Manohar aka Ceylon Manohar, who has acted in over 150 films, is all set to make his re-entry into Tamil filmdom playing a negative role in director Charan's forthcoming Diwali release JJ starring Madhavan.
Manohar made his debut in Tamil movie Pasa Nilain 1963, which was the first movie to be made in Sri Lanka. 'Thanks to V C Guganathan, I made a mark for myself in the movie Mangudi Minor. It was followed by over hundreds of movies in which I played negative characters'.
Manohar stopped acting in 1988 and took up a job in London Tamil Osai Radio Channel. After almost a decade, he returned to Sri Lanka where Thangarbachchan saw him and assigned a role in his movie. 'However, thanks to my friends I had the fortune of meeting Charan in Chennai, I went to ask for a small role in his movie JJ, but thanks to his belief in me, I obtained an important character.'
On his experiences working in JJ, Manohar says, 'it was a dream come true experience for me to act in JJ. I did what my director wanted me do. I sacrificed my beard for the role. I have done my job and it is up to the audience to give a verdict on it'. Manohar is currently busy acting in Thangar Bachchan's Thendral, director Leo's Thudippu and few other movies.
You can listen to a lot of his other songs here.

I am sure you will all have a lot more to say about Baila, Ceylon Radio and Ceylon Manohar.

An excellent peppy number. Thanks for this song. I'm hearing it after many years. Ceylon Radio used to play this regularly those days
