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!

  1976 continued:
  
  56. Anbey un peyar enna- Idayamalar- JC- MSV
  
  (Duets 1 page 1)
  
  Udayam Productions- Manian’s film. I believe it was directed by Gemini Ganesh- though somewhere I remember reading that it was only partly directed by GG. It starred Kamal, Sujatha, Sowcar Janaki and GG himself.
  
  The song must have been filmed on Kamal-Sujatha.
  
  JC:Anbey un peyar enna Rathiyo?
  VJ:Manmathan sonnathu--
  JC:Ananda neeradum nadhiyo
  VJ:Kanney un sollenna amudho?
  VJ:Senthamizh thandhathu
  JC:Kaanadha kolangal edhuvo?
  VJ:Kaaviam solvathu--!
  
  A simple, melodious duet. VJ’s answers to JC’s queries in the Pallavi are enchanting.
  
  57.Chendumalli poo pol- Idayamalar-KJY-MSV
  
  (Duets 3 Page 1)
  
  Another duet from the same film- Kamal and Sujatha playing a game- and suitably attired- with the sound of the racket on the ball giving the beat for the song- reminiscent of MGR and Sarojadevi’s ‘Parakkum pandhu parakkum’ .
  
  KJY calls ‘Love All’ and VJ corrects him, with ‘Love One’
  
  KJY: Sendumalli pooppol azhagiya pandhu
  Sel vizhi aadattum kaadhalil vandhu- Love All!
  
  VJ: Love One
  -Here, the score called by VJ assumes added significance, for she also means that she would love only one person, as her next lines indicate:
  
  Endrum indha idhayam oruvanukkendru
  Iruppathai koorattum viraivinil sendru
  
  
  KJY: Gangaiyin sangamam kadalodu kanden
  Mangaiyin sangamam paarthida vandhen-
  VJ: Karai vazhi selvathu Gangaiyin perumai
  Murai vazhi selvathu Mangaiyin perumai.
  
  VJ: Aayiram naadugal sendru vandhaalum
  Thaayaga perumai kaaththida vendum
  KJY: Kaadhalum thaayaga perumaiyil ondru--
  Kaanattum adhayum ilamayil indru
  
  KJY: Mandiram sollum manavarikkolam-
  Manathinil thondrum ovvoru naalum
  VJ: Ennuvathellaam nerinil kaanum
  punniyam irundhaal adhu engu pogum
  
  
  Excellent lyrics with subtle word play- Kamal wanting to go the whole way and Sujatha advocating patience- his assertion that ‘Kaadhalum thaayaga perumayil ondru’ is the brilliant ace in between the sweet volleys!
  
  58. Saamathil pootha malli- Ungalil Oruthi- JC- MSV
  
  (Duets 1 Page 2)
  
  Another of those films where the starcast is elusive- did it have Sujatha?
  
  From the lyrics, it appears that the hero has lost the use of his legs, and he is wallowing in self-pity and bemoans his crippled state- she plays the ministering angel and tells him to take heart- he regains his composure quickly enough- there’s nothing like a wee little bit of romance to ward off depression, is there? Music is the food of love—and they play on—
  
  VJ: Saamathil pooththa malli
  Chandiranai saatchi vechen
  Samiye unnai enni
  laabathai varavu vechen
  
  JC: Mohathil vizhundhu vitta
  Mundhaanai izhuthadhamma-
  Degathin kurai marandhu
  thenpaangu paadudhamma
  
  VJ: Arjunakku ther izhutha
  andha naal pennoruthi-
  Achani murindhadhendru
  aadhara kai koduthaal
  
  JC: Kai kodutha devamagal
  Kaal kodukka maattaalo?
  Kai kuzhandaiyaai irundhaal
  paal kodukka maattalo?
  
  JC: Nallarambu vaasamitta
  Nagamani poonkuzhali
  pal arumbu sirikka kandu
  patta sugam konjam alla—
  
  VJ: Chakkarathu salangaigalpol
  saththamidum sirippetharkku?
  Sakkaraiyil then vizhundhu
  sandhosham adaivatharkku--!
  
  
  Analogies from the Mahabharatha –good lyrics with caressingly embracing music, understanding voices, with just the right expressions in the right proportions- hark at VJ’s gentle repetition of ‘aadhara kai koduthaal’ and JC’s short laughter after ‘Patta sugham konjam alla’--
  
  59. Nyayam vaazha vendum- Chitra Pournami- MSV
  
  An ennui filled exercise in Eastman colour- a waste of giants like Sivaji,JJ, Muthuraman and Vijayakumari. I can still recall being aghast by the unseemly sight of a portly Sivaji playing a loud revolutionary, with a garish bandana around his head. He hides in the hills and is out to settle scores with rich Muthuraman, one of the landed gentry.
  
  Another song, which did its rounds from this film, is ‘Vandhaalum vandhaandi’- TMS-PS.
  
  This song has Vijayakumari, on stage, beseeching Sivaji to spare her husband, Muthu, in what she fancies as words crouched with hidden meanings, which only Sivaji could understand!
  
  I don’t remember much of the song, except the lines-
  
  Nyaayam vaazhavendumayya,
  Naanum vaazha vendum—
  
  I remember, though, the pallavi ending abruptly, with a suspense filled music following it—
  
  Can anyone shed more light on this song?
  
  60. Aagayathil thottil kattum- Thunivey Thunai- MSV
  
  The mother of all ‘Pei’ songs!
  
  The film was a full-fledged thrilling entertainer with Jai playing the dashing hero. This time, the villain was not Manohar or Nambiar, but a wigged Rajasulochana, with smoke curling from her lips and an evil glint in her eye!
  
  There is this isolated hamlet- seemingly sleepy and tranquil, where there is no police too- but there are some disturbing reports from there- so Police Officer Vijayakumar is sent to investigate- he is beguiled by an apparition in white, who sings this song- and Vijayakumar disappears, never to be seen again—
  
  His brother Jai, out to trace him, arrives in the same deserted station, again in the middle of the night, and again the same shimmering Sundari appears- singing this haunting song—
  (Of course, Jai is made of sterner stuff)—
  
  MSV brings in the eerie effect in full measure- the jingling bells of the bullocks pulling the cart, the frightening sounds of the nocturnal creatures and ghostly effects in the interludes-
  
  Aagayathil thottil kattum mangai unnai kandaal—
  Aasai theril yerikkondu neril ingey vandhaal
  Innerathil vandhen endru yedho enna vendaam,
  Pennaagathaan vandhen ingu, kanna un mel ennam undu---
  
  Alli varum poo vaasam, velli muthu ponnaaram
  Thennai ilam poomaalai, vellai nira ilanchelai
  Kaalalavu karugkoondhal kanni endru solladho—
  Kamarathi sugavaasal nee ariya koodatho
  Kannai thottu, kaiyil pattu, unnai konjum mullai mottu---
  
  Uchchi veyil varum pothu pachchai niram en meni
  Andhippattu inneram, chandiranin sanjaaram
  Aalamara nizhaliniley naal muzhudhum naan iruppen-
  Aadharithu nee anaithaal bethalikkum sugam tharuven
  Manjal undu, pottum undu, majam mattum innummillai---
  
  
  However all the special effects pale before MSV’s greatest weapon- VJ’s voice! Don’t you feel the goosebumps when you listen to her prolong the last syllable in ‘Kaalalavu karungkoondhal’ and repeat ‘karungkoondhal’ – you are bathed with sweat as you listen to that terrorising ‘aalamara nizhaliniley’ and the haunting repetition of ‘Nizhaliniley’ ---
  
  VJ transforms herself into a mesmerising Mohini, as we are irresistibly and irrevocably stricken by this bewitching la belle dame sans merci- oh, the awe inspiring enchantment!
  
  61. No no no- Unakkaga Naan- SPB- MSV
  
  The appalling remake of the appealing ‘Namak Haraam’, with an obese Sivaji and aged Gemini coming nowhere near the magic created by Amitabh and Rajesh Khanna.
  Lakshmi, V Nirmala and Manorama also starred in this doomed and damning debacle.
  
  The other songs were ‘Ramu, I love you’- TMS-KJY, ‘Iraivan ulagathai padaithaanaam’-KJY & co and Kaadu thaanda –SC Krishnan, Manorama & co.
  
  I think this song was a Sivaji-Lakshmi duet.
  It goes like- No, No, No, Kaadhal kadhai solveno---
  
  Nothing to write home about, anyway.
  
  - The MSV-VJ saga of 1976 continues-

  Correction- I seemed to have missed one line in 'anbe un peyar enna Rathiyo'-
  
  It should read as :
  
  JC:Anbey un peyar enna Rathiyo?
  VJ:Manmathan sonnathu--
  JC:Ananda neeradum nadhiyo
  VJ:Pongiye vandhadhu
  JC:Kanney un sollenna amudho?
  VJ:Senthamizh thandhathu
  JC:Kaanadha kolangal edhuvo?
  VJ:Kaaviam solvathu--!

  Saravanan - Like Manisegaran and Ramki, you are an asset to newtfmpage. Keep up the good work.

  Saravanan,
  
  Good post, as always. Here is my little bit info on the song from Chitra Pournami. (Oh the costumes in the movie, I dont know how the director thought he could get away with that).
  
  The song is "nIyum vAzavENdum". It is a lovely song by VJ with Veenai, Mirudhangam and everything. As for as I know it got zero air time. Vijayakumari sings the song in the darbaar of Zamindar (or a king?) Muthuraman, when Sivaji plans to throw a knife on him (I believe). I have the VCD and watched only the songs. The song ends abruptly in the pallavi and in charanams with thriller type music, applause from the people in the court, and finally a scream. On top of that this is the only song on the VCD that jumps and skips. All others songs are fine, but this is the only VJ song in the movie. Anyway, here is the lyrics.
  
  nIyum vAzavENdum ayya nAnum vAza vENdum
  nenjam enRa malarinil karuNai
  niRaivathu nIthi sollum kadamai
  
  pAsamalar thOnRum uLLam
  iRaivan vAzum deiva illam
  amaidhi koLLum manidha manam
  kAval dEvanin thAivIdu
  pOna kAlangaL pOgavE pOga
  vantha kAlangaL vAzga
  nenjam enRa malarinil karuNai
  niRaivathu nIdhi sollum kadamai (nIyum)
  
  mAman enRum thanthai enRum
  mazalai sollum anbuppAttu
  kObam ennum pagaivanthanai
  konji vAngum thAlAttu
  nanmai thImaigaL ANdavan thIrppu
  unnai nI kaNdu vAzga
  nenjam enRa malarinil karuNai
  niRaivathu nIthi sollum kadamai
  kAlamE nIyum vAzththu
  kadavuLE nIyum vAzththu

  Saamathi pootha malli - an asareeri song in the movie!
  
  Sujatha gets kidnapped and Sivakumar (riding an old Lambretta) goes and rescues.The scooter gets damaged and gets towed by a bullock cart with the injured Sivakumar and Sujatha inside the maatu vandi.
  
  Thunive Thunai - It is my fav movie even today.Aparna was the artist who was in Aagayathil.It was one of very few SP Muthuraman-MSV JVs.Till Jai gets into the village the movie was a real thriller.Jai sees the ghost girl Aparana at Rajasulochana s den;again the song s pallavi is played.
