first of all i believe the topic is slighty self-contradictory in that it says 'ella moviesleyum" and finally it says 'sila padangalil'
mattume.anyway, my line of thinking is as
follows:
unless all the songs in a film are pretty good do not buy the cassette or CD of the film.i do not believe in buying CD's because in a CD out of say 20 songs u would like only 10 songs and u have to listen to the others which u do not like just because u have bought the CD.
i.e u are forced to listen to songs which u do not like.instead of that for the same money u can have more than 1 cassette of assorted songs
all of which u like and the recording cost is going to be less than buying a CD.this is true for guys in india.i do not know about U.S or singapore.i always belive in cassettes having assorted songs of my choice.i do not have a single prerecorded cassette or a CD as of now.
if u do CD recording then the recording quality is also going to be good.
some of the films are:
1.johny
2.nizhalgal
3.alaigal oivathillai
4.all of mani's films .pagalnilavu has only 2 good songs.
5.udaya geetham,payanangal mudivathillai
6.ninaivellam nithya
7.punnagai mannan
8.mellath thirandhadu kathavu
9.amman koil kizhakaale
10.vaidehi kaathirundhal
and plenty to follow

Arimugam:
I STRONGLY recommend yoy to buy the ARUNACHALAM CD
with 4 catchy/beautiful songs. (I am sure you would have
bought it already! I know you have a good taste)
In your SB listing:
1 & 2 are part of the same song
3 is ONLY slightly modified version of original
4 is sort of soft version of 8
5 - I don't know which song you are referring to
6 - It is a OK song (may be because I don't understand ArOganam/avarOganam)
7 - good song (but a very short one)
8 - as you said it is thirsti (NOT just a pottu on the kannam BUT
the BIG POOSANIKAI for the house)
You missed the BEST song of the movie - nAnoru sindhu
Wondering how you selected SB as an example to this topic,
when so many other BEST ORU PADA PATTU from IR!!!
(I guess the taste differs!!)
(SB as a 'kirukkuthanamAna' movie got so much attention is a different issue!!)

mr.arumugam and others
i beg to diffe strongly with bones wrt to sindhu bhairavi,believe me it is one of the best albums IR has ever produced and no classical music based song inthe recent past has ever equalled the song 'poomalai vaangi vanthaan' from sindu bhairavi.it is NOT a soft version of thanni thotti song as mentioned by bones.the tunes of both the songs, or the raagas, are completely different.bones has given a rather totally underrated review of the movie.he says song no.2 is a part of song no.1.
so what?both of them are brilliant.and about the song 'thom thom thana' which bones did'nt write
i have quitesomething to tell about it.it is perhaps the only song in TFM to be composed in the song kanakaangi and if anyone else has composed another song it can only be IR.the song is a short one and it would make your hair stand on its edge and would give u goosepimples.
i can write a whole thread about this movie.the best ever from KB in the eighties and he has only degraded since.
also u need not understand arohanam/avarohanam to appreciate the song 'kalaivaaaniye' since the tune is simple and down to earth .that is the beauty of IR's songs.they have simple tunes but captivate.
also pl. see IR's creativity thread for my posting on 'poomalai' song which i had given as the best example of IR's creativity.
thanni thotti does not pretty well fit in the scheme of things and i feel that it should have been edited out from the movie.but as a song if u hear it without relating it to the movie then it is one of the best in its genre ,namely dabbankuthu.when people can appreciate 'pettairap',then this song would be like bethoven's ninth symphony to them.
one thing which i liked was,the director trying to convince that folk music is a better medium in the movie has neatly avoided hardcore carnatic krithis in the movie and has put some 'janaranjakamaana' songs,so that anyone irrespective of whether they know carnatic music or not can enjoy the songs,though if u love carnatic music u can appreciate the songs better.

in fact i do not know why mr.bones has recommended arunachalam.just because it was composed by deva?in my opinion other than aasai no other album of deva is worth a buy not even nerukku ner.and as a matter of fact both these films have songs that have been lifted.

vijay:
I (as a IR fan) disagree with you that SB is NOT one of
his best. I don't know anything about ragas - so I can't
accept that because a song is from a unique raga - it is good.
It didn't impress me.
Regarding "KalivAniyE" - as for as I know,it is a
"kaneer-carnatic-based" song and it will noway come
close to "rAga deepam Etrum pOthu" and
"sangeetha jAthi mullai".
From the lines "thom thom namtha" I am not able to
remember the song - with this starting line I can
think of only "sangeetha jAthi mullai".
As a person who knows carnatic music, you may
enjoy/appreciate the intricate points of SB.
BUT as a layman - with zero KM - SB didn't
impress me at all as SANKARAPARANAM did.
As for the movie, SB is another MCP kind of
attitude of KB. KB showed (sort of justified)that:
- two educated adults can't just have intellectual
relationship, SEX is needed.
- Just because a wife is a maladi, she can take kuppai from
her husband (MATEEEER-nu thalaila adichu pOdAnu sollavEnAm)
- A great/scholorly/talented/wise-man - unable to
withstand that SHE left and becomes kirukku and
dancing/singing with pigs (character assasination).
Vijay, I have to add one more thing.
The same time SB was released "Muthal MariyAthai"
came which portrayed how two uneducated, kirAmathu
makkaL can have a nice descent relationship (no physical)
WITH GREAT SONGS.
Others:
sorry, for the digression.
SVageeswaran: (for your BR-IR list)
Is it not "VALIBAME VAA VAA" a great disappointment
from both BR & IR!!!

That is why it disappeared from my list. I do not know a single song from it. Anybody knows? It is still a surprise for me how the duo falied in that film! Whose mistake? Barathiraja or Raja? If somebody knows, please clarify.

i appreciated sindhu bhairavi for its songs its BGM and the fine directorial touches.the scene where sulakshana imagines slapping suhasini,in the beautiful song 'poomalai' ,sulakshana once again firing the driver,and how beautifully the director symbolically shows that sulakshana is poojyam in carnatic music in several scenes!i did not get any message to the effect that 2 intellectual adults should have a physical relationship.there are a lot more good things to observe and accept from the film rather than take a message like this!i do not think KB had this in mind when taking a film and this is not what he wanted us to realise after the film!so it depends on how u look at the film!
there are people who take only the wrong messages
from a film!
once again i stress that no carnatic music knowledge is needed to listen to the songs,and anyone can take my word if u are not yet decided on buying the CD.did we all appreciate 'raasave chitterumbu' from walter vetrivel only after knowing that the song was in the raaga lataangi? NO! likewise,u need not know the raaga to appreciate the melody in SB,and knowing the raaga would only help u better in appreciating,that's all!most of the songs exceptperhaps for a couple are ordinary tamil songs and are not carnatic kirthanais.the message itself is that anyone who does not understand the language or simply listens to carnatic music without any knowledge about it and without understanding it would appreciate the folk type music as a better medium and this is the only message i too got from the film!this film is a landmark in IR's career
and it proved that he was not an ordinary folk musician ,but can be creative in classical music as well.

Here is a lot to discuss in this topic. I do apologize for the mistake in the title and thanks to Vijay for indicated. The intention is to collect movie names in which all songs are good to hear. I selected Sindhu Bairavi because I like it very much. Thanks to Bones for indicating the song 'Naanoru sindhu'. There is another song 'Lochana kamala lochana'. Mr. Bones, thom thom namdha thom thom..is really a good song by KJYesudas. Two lines from the song, they really impressed me and exactly indicated the great singer's (hero) situation in the movie.
They are :
'Aasai ennum puyal veesi vittathadi...
Aani ver varaiyil aadi vittathadi...
Kaappai devi...'.
They way KJY sang that song and the Balachandar's touch in the movie, i can write a thesis about it mr.bones. Tasts differs here, entire family from grand father to grand son can listen and enjoy the songs from SB. It is a high class movie and it is not necessary to learn karnatic music to enjoy the songs. I don't understand one thing mr. Bones, when you like songs from 'Sangarabaranam' without knowing karnatic or telegu, why can you not like SB songs. Is that voice of SPB in karnatic makes you better to listen comparing with KJY. I also like Sangarabaranam and still listening everyday.
There another list from other language like 'His highness abdullah', 'Bharadham', 'Suryagandhi' from malayalam from which songs are really good to listen. There are many ways to like a song, here are some points:
Some one may like a song because he or she may like the voice of the singer very much. In that case any song from the singer may be good for him or her.
Some one may like a song because he or she may like music of the music director eventhough the singer made many mistakes in the song.
Some one may like the song because the lyrics may attract him or her the lyrics may impress very much as they may indicate their real life some times.
Some one may like the song because the way it is picturized in the movie and exactly fits with the situation in the movie.
So here in this topic all I would like to collect is the movie names in which all or most (like 9 out of 10) songs are really good to listen (may not be good to see in video is different issue).
I would like to request TFM fans to discuss about the songs and the song situations in this topic and we do not want to discuss about the entire story of the movie. I am posting this request because mr. bones started to discuss about the SB story. It is not our intention to discuss about the story of the movie, but you are always welcome to discuss about the situation about the song it has been filmed.
Once again my thanks goes to Mr. Vijay for supporting SB to include in my list. There are many combinations here like Manirathnam-Ilayaraja movies, Balachandar-Ilayaraja movies and Barathiraja-Ilayaraja movies. Most of the movies in their combination have good songs.
Once again to Mr. bones, 'Sangeetha jaathi mullai' and 'ragadeepam' are also very good songs. The situation for the songs are completely different from "Kalaivaaniye". 'Ragadeepam' is for the situation in which the hero wanted to be a popular singer so the emotion is different. But in SB, here is already a popular karnatic singer, 'kalaivaani' is 'saraswathi', God of knowledge. When the hero gone down and when he coming back to his position again, he is calling 'Kalaivaani' to help him. At the same time, it exactly matches with his life as he wanted to get his lover back. He felt like he got the knowledge about his life only after he met 'Suhasini', his lover. He lost her, so again he wanted her back, so the song 'Kalaivaaniye unaithaane azhaithen.." is exactly fits with the situation. Athallam anubavichu rasikkanunga mr. Bones. 'Maarthaadu maarthaadu mallige' oru kannada lyrics konda patta recommend panra neenga yen nalla tamil songs pidikkalennu solrathu puriyavillai. I can never take the execuse that you are not able to enjoy SB songs because you don't know karnatic. Once again I strongly post my opinion here that is, it is not necessary to know karnatic to listen, understand and enjoy SB songs.
Mr. Bones, you are always welcome to write collections of your taste. (Cho's M-B-Thuklak' paarthirukkingala mr. bones, oru dialogue irukku athile..unkaludaya abibraayankalai neengal thaaralamaagath therivikkalam...aanaal en mudive iruthiyaanathu..).
Cassette sales may be good for some movies but songs may not be considered as so good to listen or think about it. Ottakathe kattikko may be a hit at one time, but Mukabala vanthathum Ottakam odiduthu, Aribikkadaloram vanthathum Mukabala maranthu poiyachu, Jeans pottathum Ratchagan songs 'Kappaleri' poyachu aagividalaam.
Please do not change your taste for others, if you feel that all songs in that movie is good, please post the name. Athu 'athanda..ithanda..' enru mariyaathai illamal irunthaalum sari, allathu maattai pathi yaaravathu paadinaalum sari, they are always welcome to TFM.

KB was and is one of the greatest innovators in TF World.. Nobody can deny this..He is the only one who can take a completely off-beat,complex film and get off with it without falling altogether flat.. Even ManiRathnam cant claim such a success as his only offbeat film "Iruvar" was a megaflop and I dont think he will dare to make that sort of film again.. Compared to that KB's Kalki did a decent run..
Sankarabharanam is an out-and-out classical song based movie which definitely a Carnatic music buff having knowledge of Telugu keerthanais can enjoy much better.. SB is purely Tamil based lyrics as well as quite enjoyable to "pamaras" like myself.."Thannithotti" song definitely fits into the flow of the film..
In the golden days of TFM there used to be the concept that songs were written for the situation rather than as a different package altogether.. Now-a-days we can see that the hero&heroine is not even part of the song.. Hero/heroine enters the train, some guy jumps out like a monkey, a horde of others join in to blare the hell out of one's eardrums and at the end of the song hero exits from the train as though he was no way related to this garish episode..
Okay.. this is not the place to lament about.. By recalling the golden songs of TFM we can atleast try to be in peace with the world..

It may be a good idea to hv a lower limit on the number of songs per movie. e.g. Tik Tik Tik has only 3 songs; they are all superb; lyrics and tune are nearly perfect. Kadhalikka Neramillai has 8 songs that were all brilliant. Nizhal Nijamagiradhu had just two songs. Excellent lyrics and tunes both; Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal has just two songs and both were terrific!
How about 4 as the minimum number ?

Mr. RV, please we do not want to limit the no. of good songs in this topic. That is the reason i have mentioned in the beginning like 'All the songs or all except one song'. Some movies may have 8 or 9 songs but only 5 songs may be good. So please do not limit to 4 songs. But at the same time, if a movie has only 2 songs and one is super good but the other is bad, then please do not add the movie name in the list. Movies like 'Mudhal mariyaathai', 'Payanangal Mudivathaillai' are most welcome. They got many songs and most of them are good to hear even now. In case of a movie which has only 3 songs and all are really nice to hear, then we can consider that, also we can consider some movies which has only 2 songs and both are really good like 'Oru kaithiyin Diary'. Some of my collections:
Raajathi Raaja,
Sattam,
Kaathal Parisu,
Naan paadum paadal.(ithile oru song ilavarasi, pandiyan, exception).
Some movies may have a song repeated different times in different situations by different singers like Naan paadum paadal(paadava..un paadalai is repeated many times), they are also
welcome here.

First thing first: DON'T MR ME!!! (you can ADE me)
Regarding SB songs: They don't impress me.
(well! may be some of my brain-cells are NOT properly tuned for these songs!!)
GK:
I can't think of any song from Sattam & Kathal Parisu and you have mentioned the movie
in this "All good songs" thread. Help me.
When I think of all good songs the first movie which comes to my mind is Karnan.
I always wonder how Viswnathan Ramamoorthy were able to score
such great songs which are a level apart from the regular movie songs...
Recently I watched that movie also it had beautiful BGM (some of them can be resued for
new songs - Deva kavanikka)
I remember 15 year old Then kinnam in Madars alaivarisai - in that Visu (actor/dir.)
mentioned a whole lot about how much he liked the
Karnan songs.
It had songs for the following situations:
(most of them are NOT the regular situations in TF)
RaNi thoodu to Raja:
pulavargaL prasing Karnan
Karnan's love - 2 great songs
Sort of love failure
Newly wed Wife leaving home
Newly wed's are received in the aranmanai
Karnan to die - soozchi by Krish

Bones :
I am with you on SB. These songs were composed with one aim in mind : to prove IR's knowledge in carnatic music. A song without rhythms, a keethanai in a different raga, a song only in Arohanam, a song in a very rare raga - all these are good for junta who understand carnatic music but for sheer musicality they are not IR's best.
IR's Nizhalgal - indhap padathil varum indha 3 pAdalgalukkaga (pon mAlai pozhudhu, poong kadhave thAzh thiravAi, madai thirandhu) IR-kku edaikku edai thangam kodukkalam.

GK:
Of the 80+ movies by MSV/TKR, I think about 50+ movies had all
great songs; not only that, typically there were 5 or more great
songs in each movie (that was due to the fashion of those times
and the tremendous amount of time and care put into each song).
In the pre IR-arrival period, say till 1977, MSV did about 180
movies alone. Among these, you can list about 40-50 movies which
had all great songs. In the post IR-arrival period MSV just had
only a few, say 10-15 movies with all great songs, although he
did about 180 movies in that period.

THANKS A LOT. I am REALLY GLAD to know that there is another soul which feels that
SB is NOT one of the best of IR but has good (seasonal) songs.

Is there any other soul out there who believes
in "muyal-kAl" theory ??

PG and you have done a good job of including my thoughts on SB songs. Anything else I say will be redundant!
I also like PG's list of movies, wonder if nenjaththaik kiLLAdhE,ninaivellAm nithyA,vaLLi would be good additions to it.

Kanchana,SK,Bones writing this with respect in my heart and mind. Thanks for listing. Eventhough i have not seen many of the films listed, i listened to most of the songs from the movies. I need more time to recollect the songs and list all the movies in order to make this topic success.
1000 per konda aboorva Bones avarkale, ini Mr. illai unkalukku. Thukluk character is the one who made me to talk like Cho and i like that character. When i was in India, i was one of the readers of Thukluk, i used to read mainly for editorial and questions and answers by 'thukluk' Mr. Cho Ramaswamy. Some times i used to imagine, how will it be if we have this guy as a CM for TN and Mr. Sheshan as a Governor. That will be a fun time for TN.
Ok, back to topic, Kanchana neenga Karnan filmle oru mark pannirukkeenga, what is that?, Is that because your favourite songs in the movie?. I would also request everyone to indicate the movie whether it is old or new in case of the same name for two movies. For example, Pudhaiyal is name of a new movie which is also the name for an old movie.
Please note, only in case of having same name for two movies you need to indicate. One movie may have all songs good and the other may not be. In case if both old and new movies with the same name have all songs good then also you are requsted to indicate.(Rare case!).
(Bones, marupadiyum Thukluk velai maathiri irukkille??).
Kanchana, Valli is old or new?. I am not sure whether there was a movie in called VALLI in good old days. I think i have seen some name like that, may be 'Valli Thirumanam' or 'Sri valli', i don't know.
SK, you gave me a big list, thanks for that. But Noolveli and Thanka kalasam ?, who did music for that movies, Could you please mention the songs in those movies?.
Bones, I told in SB all /most of the songs are good and i have not told that they are great of IR. In one way it is good to have you here to discuss about different opinions of diff. people.
Just for fun i would like to say you one thing here to Bones. Arunachalam song 'Nagumo..' kettu irukkinga illaya, there is a song 'Nagumo' in classical by Balamurali krishna athe kelunga, if you don't like his voice, athe song Unni Krishnan paadirukkar athe kelunga. Aana Arunachalam Nagumo lyricsukkum, classical lyricsukkum sampantham ille. But if you have free time kelunga. (Kettathukkappuramum neenga 'naanoru sindhu..in SB' is much betternnu solveenga, it's ok, ketkarathile thappillaye?!!.).
A question to all, 'Geetham Sangeetham..' enru oru song in a movie called ' Kokkarakko', somehow i like that song, but i have not seen the movie. Is there any other good songs in that movie?, can we add to our list?.

Kanchana :
nenjaththaik kiLLAdhE is a sure addition (paruvamE, uRavenum pudhuya vAnil, E thendRalE + one more not-so-good song).
ninaivellAm nithyA is also great. Other Sridhar-IR combination movies also had great songs : thendRalE ennai thodu, thandhu vittEn ennai.
Other IR movies : unnai naan sandhithEn, udaya geetham. Kovaithambi's Motherland Pictures was a big banner in those days only because of IR's songs and IR always did a great job for them.
Also include : raja pArvai, aboorva sahodarargal, nallavanukku nallavan.

If you see in the above list, there are 'bad' songs in the above list. But in most cases, the 'bad' songs are 'bad' not because of Raja but bcos of the situation. For example, in muLLum malarum, the first-night scene of Rajni-Fatafat Jayalakshmi. The heroine is a sAppAttu rAmi - and she sings 'nitham nitham nellu choru' - a perfect fit for the situation. But the song is not likely to survive for a long time bcos of the situation.
Other IR movies to come.

from IR-MAHENDRAN list johny is a noticeable miss.for this is one of the best films that represent IR of the 80's and is a must buy for anyone intending to have a collection.
i think even 'poonthotta kaavalkaaran' had some pretty decent songs like
'sindiya venmani' by KJY
'ennuyire vaa' by SPB,SJ
and 'paaramal paartha' by SPB AND a female singer.this song has a fantastic rhythm and as some one mentioned in one of the other threads
it is one of the very few songs that start and end with the same tune/beat and i liked the way which IR did it.this song will catch on to u instantly and was a hit.

Bones/pg/Kanchana
Having heard what all of you had to say about Sindu Bairavi, I think I need to express my opinion. Sindu Bairavi songs were not necessarily popular songs, but they are definitely GOOD songs (IMO, off course). While many may write off Iruvar, there is a certain section who think that it is of a different class. Sindu Bhairavi may not have mass appeal, but I just love the songs.... (Too bad, if you don't like them. :-)))
Bones - antha rendukaal muyallei neengal yennidam kaatungal, naan yenthu moondravathu kaalai kaattugirein.
Sankarabharanam songs do not appeal to me.
PG - In my ARR list, include Minsara Kanavugal.
Moodu pani was IR's 100th movie but didn't boast of many good songs. The BGM was however, out of the world. Also if you do a Kamal-IR combo, you would come up with a good list.

There is one more good song by TMS in "Deepam", "Peisaathey, Vaayulla Oomai Nee, Sonthamenna, Bhanthamenna, Sonnaal Paavamey, Peisaathey!"
There is a crap song in "Deepam" where Sivaji sings with a bunch of Junior-Artistes and Seema( yes, the famous Malayala Actress before she became popular ), something like, "Adhi Leela, Krishna, Radha, Ramana, Jiguna Rangamma!"

'katrinile varum geetham' by SJ
ARE ALSO GOOD NOS.
'ennenbadho edhenbadho
kaadhal penne kalyaana....' by SPB is from which film?MD?
i do not understand the statement by PG on SINDUBHAIRAVI.what if songs wre composed in a strange raaga or in avarohanam only?
do u have to know this to appreciate this song?
NO.kalaivaaniye need not be appreciated only after knowing that it has been set in aarohanam only.
did u all like 'rasave chiterumbu' from walter vetrivel only after knowing that the song is set in lataangi raaga? NO. in fact it was a shock to everyone when it became known that the song was set in lataangi.likewise, SB's songs are melodious and do not require carnatic knowledge on the part of the listener.
if u are not able to appreciate 'poomalai' song,then atleast hear the BGM for the song.the interludes till today are one of the best from IR.
'manathil uruthu vendum' and 'aananda nadanam aadinaar' by KJY from the same movie can be appreciated by anyone.
in fact most of raaja's songs are raaga based.if u are able to appreciate all that how come u are not able to appreciate SB songs?

The rest of the songs (mahA gaNapathim, mari mari ninnE, kalaivANiyE, pAdariyEn, nAnoru sindhu) I listen bcos they are supposed to be great use/experimentation in carnatic music and bcos IR won a NA for these. Otherwise they don't appeal to me much - like say Johnny or payanangal mudivathillai.

Someone wondered about songs from Valibamae Vaa vaa - I remember 2 of them - both of them are by KJ. Kanne balam thannal vandhadhu, beeman gadhai kaiyil vandhadhu ... and sevvana poongavil (?). Anyway it was a trash movie.

I was a school kid when Nizhalgal came out and even at that time, Nizhalgal really appealed to me. Nizhalgal was a good movie. A little more work and it could have been a great movie. I never read any Vikatan's reviews at that time. The guy who wrote that review must have been deaf and blind. Nizhalgal should be in top five of anybody's ranking of IR's film music.
poongkadhavE and pon mAlai pozhudhu are sheer magic.
I remember reading that the late carnatic musician MDRamanathan was astounded by IR's use of Kedharam in pon mAlai pozhudhu. The writer Sujatha wrote about IR's music in glowing terms in one of his essays. I read this in a collection of Sujatha's essays published by kAvyA - anybody remember the name of the book ?.
