  Re: the Pallavi Anu Pallavi song discussed in a different context earlier- the fantastic Naguva Nayana - it does seem like an exploration on this is necessary - well here in India, the new Cellphone co. has come out with an ad with the exact tune of the above song - and well, the real rub lies here with lyircs that go.."98..49..double 1 ..28".Yuck:-(
  But seriously, would appreicate a poke into the origins of the song

  Yeah I noticed that ad for Idea Cellular (from Birla-Tata-AT&T)...and was wondering where I've heard this song...I guess its the same song we discussed from Pallavi Anupallavi.
  
  First it was the 'putham puthu kaalai' song for the Kissan drink ad and now this...this revival of IR's all time gems is sure a good sign provided people get to know that its by IR...I really hope someone in the ad fraternity would come forward and give IR his due credit. These 2 songs are from some of his BEST numbers....so he must be duly credited.

  Well, Karthik, I really was wondering whether there is any common source - as in nth movement of X symphony etc - worth an exploration you thinks?

  Its sure possible. But it'd be unfair to blame IR on those lines with not a single iota of a clue...:-).
  
  As usual till proven guilty IR deserves credit for these 2 mesmerizing numbers.

  This is in continuation to the message about IR songs being used in TV advts...
  
  I just found out that both the ads...Kissan Fruit Kick soft drink concentrate and Idea cellular which have used IR's 80s numbers are by the ad agency Lowe (formerly Lowe Lintas IIRR). YOu may watch the Idea Cellular advt online at...(2nd ad)
  
  http://www.magindia.com/latesttvcs/030702_2.html
  
  The Kissan ad is available under the May entries in this site but the link seems to be down!

  Pallavi of the soogap paattu Kamal sings in 5Thanthiram ("kaathal piriyaamal kavithai thondRaathu") is very much similar to Indira's 'Nilaak kaaykiRathu' (Tune where the lyrics are 'kaatRu veesum veyil kaayum kaayum athil maatRam eethum illaiyee')
  
  But this song is very well sung by Kamal - Comes as a speed breaker when the film is moving like a humor rocket - K S Ravikumar could have avoided it !

  Doesnt the song 'Sayonara' by MSV in KB's Ninaithale Inikkum resemble Abba's Mama Mia...also used by RDB as 'Mil gaye'? On second thoughts, its only the word 'sayonara' sounds like 'mama mia'...rest is totally different...?!

  Thanks a ton. I've been looking for the Middle Eastern original of the Mettukudi song ever since I heard it first!

  Have added the Idea Cellular advt. video in my site. Check out...
  
  http://www.iespana.es/i2fs/
  
  NagaS:
  
  My interest was primarily renewed because of the fact that both the advts are from the same agency and both use classic IR numbers! Yes, using film songs in advts is common...but 2 classic IR numbers from early 80s in 2 ads in a spate of just a month...from one agency...my reason for popularizing this fact is a bit more selfish...just wanna know who the person behind these advts are and...whats his next advt with an IR number!!!?

  Just heard Ragheb Alama's 'Farek Kbir'. YOu may listen to it too from
  
  http://music.26max.com/Music2/Arabic/(Ragheb%20Alama)%20-%20Farek%20Khebir.mp3
  
  Nah..it doesnt sound like the Mettukudi song. Most Arabic songs sound similar (at least to us Indians) but there's no direct similarity here. Farek Kbir is also the name of an album by Ragheb. Is it possible that you were talking about a song from that album?

  can we say that the "Puthamputhu kaalai"'s use in the Kissan ad is good?
  
  
• From: NagaS (@ 203.195.201.74) on: Fri Jul 5 02:21:16 EDT 2002

  YES !!! :-) I feel idEa's use of IR's kannada song is even better !

• From: Karthik S (@ 164.164.82.29) on: Fri Jul 5 08:29:42 EDT 2002
  
  Yes, I think the songs have been sued very imaginatively. Wonder who composed (or recomposed/remixed) the classics for these 2 adverts!

  Anybody remember 'Pothum ithu pothum' a Short (& Sweet) song from YSR's debut movie Aravindhan ? (Lyrics : Parthi Baskar, Sung by Unni Krishnan),
  
  Today I was listening to the mp3 version of this song from some CD and I feel, "Ram Ram" song in movie 'Hey Ram' is heavily inspired by this tune and orchestrisation ...

  yaaro,
  
  i am surprised you called me "dear, dear B" was it just a coincidence or do u know me from somewhere. bcoz i used to be called "B" at some point in time.
  
  yes im the prolific poster. who posts less now. maybe bcoz the quality of threads have deteriorated in the last 1 year.
