Good Morning,

By hearing some old compositions, I found a film with the actor Gemini : "Thein Nilavu". Moreover, I appreciated some melodies from this film such as Paatu Paadavu, Oho Endan Baby, ... So, I am searching some information about this ancient blockbuster.
In this way, would it be possible to have the name of the lyricist for the film ? The only information that I get is the Music Director and also singer name : A.M. Rajah.

Best regards,

Jeevee.

  Hi Jeevee
  
  Then Nilavu was a comedy movie directed by the great Sridhar which preceded Kaadalikka Neramillai. It was a black and white movie released in the early 60s. 1960 or 61 and had great music by A M Raja. In fact all the songs in this film were super duper ones and everlasting.
  The film starred Gemini and Vyjayanthimala with the comedy scenes enacted by Thangavelu and his real-life wife Saroja. M N Nambiar is the villain who dupes another girl (a beautiful actress whose name I do not know) and tries to kill her in the dal lake before trying to woo Vyjayanti.
  Some fine comedy scenes are there including one where Gemini, hiding in the house boat of Thangavelu, receives food parcel on the attic via a rope. Kannadasan wrote the lyrics.
  
  some of the songs were:
  
  pattu pada vaa by Raja
  
  malare malare theriyatho a haunting melody by PS
  
  Oorengum thedi oruvanai kanden
  andha oruvanidam thedi en ullathai kanden
  by Jikki in the scene where Nambiar tries to throw his wife off the boat
  
  kaalayum neeye maalayum neeye by Raja and Janaki a classical number set in the hindustani style a great number
  
  nilavum malarum paaduthu en ninaivum unnai theduthu by Raja and PS
  
  and another fine duet which I don't recollect offhand.
  
  It was a great comedy film with fantastic songs after which Raja was not used by Sridhar at all and his career sunk without a trace.
