Posted by: HumTum Nov 17 2008, 08:30 PM

That's right. Who featured in Telugu?? Nageshwar Rao? In Tamil it was Shivaji Ganeshan.

Posted by: simplefable Nov 17 2008, 08:32 PM

No..it was NTR and Krishna kumari...the second hero is Kanta rao. was a super hit...

Wow..the song is a beauty...i love TMS..the tune is haunting..thanks a lot..

Posted by: HumTum Nov 17 2008, 08:35 PM

We must track all the remade ones.. and how each of them individually made a hit! It will be knowledgeable and fun to do that

YES..am game.

Posted by: HumTum Nov 18 2008, 12:08 AM

Have heard this old song.. Madana ezhil raaja nee vaarayo.. I remember distinctly it had a telugu version. (Probably Anjali devi was the heroine for both movies).

actually no! I got this info. The movie had SAVITHIRI

Film: Chella Pillai (1955/ AVM)
Lyrics: Udumalai Narayana Kavi
Music: R.Sudarsanam.

The film starred K.R.Ramaswami, Savitri, Thangavelu, Javar Seetharaman & others.

HT,

Today, I am having lot of fun listening to these Tamil songs based on Hindi tunes.
A small suggestion:
The way link is posted, a non-HF member has access to these links. Is there a way to make it visible only to HF members?

Exon

Posted by: HumTum Nov 20 2008, 11:20 PM

I plan to remove the files after the 2 of you have downloaded. The moment I see 2 downloads complete, I am deleting them

Posted by: HumTum Nov 20 2008, 11:33 PM

Yes Exon bhai I already found 3 clicks against 2 songs, and thought it could be SF bhai clicking again if the download got interrupted. The other alternative is password protect it by compressing it. Wah my mind is working very sharply for a change.

Posted by: Exon Nov 20 2008, 11:47 PM

I have created a thread in the COC (protected section) for providing external links. Only the external link need to be posted there. The actual post can be in any thread. Please see if it can provide temporary solution.

Great choice Venkat bhai.

Love the lyrics of this song.. Kannadasan at his best!

Here's the video..

Posted by: venkat Dec 7 2008, 09:07 AM

This Viswanathan Ramamurthy have some great songs to 'their' credit even in Telugu, most of which are, of course, based on 'their' own original Tamil tunes.

Baalu Sir is a great admirer of M.S.Viswanathan of this duo. Baalu once said that the other Ramamurthy is just an add-on! It seems that AVM's Meyappan or someone else had recommended to Viswanathan to take this Ramamurthy with him. Viswanathan faithfully complied, though this Ramamurthy's role and presence had, by and large, been just nominal.

Open to correction.

Venkat

Posted by: HumTum Dec 7 2008, 09:18 AM

Who is Baalu Sir, Venkat bhai?

Although i love the songs from fifties onwards...some of these songs from Eighties, when the three Rajas were at their peak ...( Bharati Raja, Ilaya Raja, Bhagya Raja ) ..produced some of the finest songs..I used to watch these films in theatre..even though i couldnt understand a word of the language..
Here is one beautiful song..when i hear this song, what i remember is the peace and tranquility on a country side, which no one around except "mon petit frau"...breeze across humid paddy fields...etc..etc.. Now, good music produces poetry too...

Von meghangale..
Pudiya Vaarpugal

Absolutely melodious number..
Even without the digital works..the music sounds so crisp, laced with the wonderful voices of LRE and TMS..( not to say that i cant understand the song..not needed ! )

Here is one beautiful number..from the film " mudhal mariyadai"..The film is a classic. The story and the editing along with the wonderful underplay by the thespian Sivaji aided by the natural acting of Radha is a treat to watch. A quintessential Bharati Raja film...this song is so melodious..i heard hundreds of times, yet never knew the meaning..

the song carries so much melody, it is as if we are running along our favorite walking track..early in the day with all the assorted sounds from nature..Absolutely blissful ! No, i dont know the meaning of the song.. as usual.

Suhasini and Mohan! This is also S' first movie. Isn't it?

Posted by: HumTum May 31 2009, 10:50 PM

You wish to know the meaning?

Posted by: simplefable May 31 2009, 10:50 PM

yes, obviously any trotting sound has its roots in OPN's immortal tunes..
yes, this is the first film for suhasini in tamil .

Posted by: sangeetbhakt May 31 2009, 11:21 PM

Knowingly or unknowingly, you have accurately described the scene for this song.
The trot is NOT of a Nayyar ghoDa gaaDi, but of two people jogging in the park.
My wife and I always refer to this as the jogging song.

Absolutely fantastic orchestration by Ilayaraja.
And nothing needs to be said of the combo of Janaki, SPB under IR's music.

SF bhai a series of golden melodies rolled around this period. Idhaya kovil, Aamman koil kizhakaale, mouna ragam, payanangal mudivathillai (I think this came a bit earlier than the others).

Just listening now to SPB's Naan paadum mouna ragam.. from Idhaya kovil. I will upload if anyone is interested.

Got the whole album of Mouna Raagam...but the pleasure is listening to them after a long gap...after fishing them out of Cds..
Will surely request you for any song i dont have...am quite shameless there..

Posted by: HumTum Jun 1 2009, 09:56 PM

Fishing out cds? You threw your collections into Bay of Bengal? There is one more I am trying to recollect - a Mohan-Amla-Radha starrer. The song goes like this - Vaa vennilaa unnai thaane vaanam theduthey.. (SPB-Chitra). - yeah got the name - Mella thiranthathu kadavu (The door opened slowly).

Posted by: simplefable Jun 1 2009, 11:25 PM

Wow..that is my favorite...and there is one more fantastic song from that film.. Kilalodu kaannanukku....kuyil padu..something something..
A beautiful melody !! OmG..used to think that mella thirandadu kadavu..means :slowly travelling cloud ! goes to say so much about my perception....

SF,

Your link is helpful even after 8 months!!!

I do not understand Tamizh well - I know just a bit of the spoken language. However, I have heard a few tamizh songs in 50s. I like AMRaja, PBS, TMS, Chandrababu, PSusheela. I have been looking for old Tamizh songs and was going through this Forum when I saw this post.

After going through these posts, I realize that Cool Goose could be one source where I can hunt for old Tamizh songs. Is there any other site where I can get some rare songs?

Sincere regards,

Rajan

Posted by: simplefable Jul 11 2009, 04:50 PM

Rajan...glad that you found the link.
There are many many sites for downloading tamil songs. Infact, i dont know tamil at all...except few common words..
For old songs you can try this site...

Rajan ji, No worries. I will post samples of the songs on outside servers and if you like any of those I will post the full song.

Just post a request if and whenever you want any song. Banda haazir hai hamesha

Posted by: RajanCS Jul 12 2009, 11:36 AM

SF,

This is just beautiful. Thanks a lot.

I have managed to collect about 100 odd popular songs of that era. One of my favourite of PBS is Nilave Ennidam from Ramu. Based on Bageswari Raag it is great. Similarly another duet from Gulebagavali - Mayakkum Maalai - AMRaja-Jikki duet based on same raag (sounds very similar to Jaag Dard E IShq from Anarkali)

Rajan

Posted by: RajanCS Jul 12 2009, 11:41 AM

HT,

Thanks a lot.

I propose to keep visiting this thread regularly so that I will get pointers to these gems.

Last night I was listening to O Rasikkum by MSRajeshwari from Parashakti. Very sweet and energetic song. Since I do not understand lyrics very well, I am attracted mainly by the tune, rhythm, Orchestra etc.

regards,

Rajan

Posted by: HumTum Jul 12 2009, 04:57 PM

Rajan bhai both are absolute blissful melodies. If you need any translation of the song just post your request, I will try to translate them for you.

By the way I am unable to place the MS Rajeshwari number you mentioned in your previous post.

Posted by: RajanCS Jul 12 2009, 09:57 PM

AFAIK, the music is by R. Sudarshanam. I had first heard it on the Podhugai channel on TV.

I got lyrics from net as follows:

O! Rasikkum seemane vaa
Jolikkum udai aninthu
Kalikkum Nadanam purivome
athai ninaikkum pozhuthu manam
Inikkum suvai muzhuthum
aLikkum kalaigal Arivom

The beat and tune is really very nice. Following is the link for listening:

Shortwhile ago, I found one more sweet song which I think is again from Parasakti. The words are "Puthu Pennin Manathai Thottu Poravare". I have to get details of this song.

Regards,

Rajan

Posted by: HumTum Jul 13 2009, 07:59 PM

Thanks Rajan bhai for the details of the MSR's song.

I have extracted the song "Puthu Pennin Manathai"from Parashakti from youtube.

Here is a not bad recording of the song that I have.
I am not sure if the singer is M S Rajeswari since she used to have this distinctive
child-like voice. And this song does not have that. I wonder if it is actually her,
then did she assume the "other" voice for later songs.
Could somebody more knowledgeable comment.

HT and SB,

Thanks for the links. As regards singer MSRajeshwari, I got it from net. Can't remember the site offhand.

Apart from various download sites, I keep searching for additional info in a few discussion forums such as The Hub (there was one more, I forget the name).

Last night, I heard Ninaipitha Ellam - PBS from Nenjil Oru Alayam. I know it is not a rare song but a great song. More so because I could understand meaning of the Mukhda at least.

One more aspect I notice as follows. I make it a point to get the MD for each song. I notice that majority of songs so far obtained (126 in all) has either Viswanathan-Ramamurthy or GRamanathan as the composer.

Regards,

Rajan

Posted by: HumTum Jul 17 2009, 10:22 AM

Yes Rajan bhai, Vishwanathan-Ramamurthy were the ruling MDs of the early period of Tamil Music and with G Ramanathan, K V. Mahadevan giving their due too. They split later and then we have had M.S. Vishwanathan, taking over the realm.

Posted by: HumTum Jul 17 2009, 10:25 AM

Nenjil oru alayam was also remade in hindi - Dil ek mandir.

Here is one more absolutely moving song...it is the tamil version of " Sou baar janam lenge"........actually it has a telugu version too sung by PB Srinivas..ofcourse Rafi Sahab gave that song immortality. But it is a pleasure to listen to TMS...

SFji,

Vallavanukku Vallan was from the Modern Theatre stable at Salem, Tamil Nadu.
They use to make B-Grade pot boilers but use to have superb music.
For those who have not heard the Rafi version, the TMS version is claasic.
In fact, I consider it as one of TMS's alltime classics.
That is because TMS did not sing in Hindi.
Rafi's rendition gave it a pan-indian status, IMHO.
Thanks for reminding me of a classic.
BTW, which came first the Hindi song or the Tamil song, if you can enlighten me.
Thanks.
Suresh

In the Paavai Vilakku song, PS sounded extremely sweet.
Thanks for both the songs.

With best regards,

Posted by: simplefable Jul 21 2009, 09:15 AM

Suresh..i do think they did it simultaneously...all three. The inference might be the Hindi version being done after tamil and telugu...as the production house was based in Salem. did hear about Modern theatres..read in some book..
Every language has it's own nuance and rendition and expression. Hindi being the subtler..We can never compare any voice to another, as none were proficient in all languages..except PB Srinivas, an acknowledged Scholar.
I love TMS version..as i find the higher tones has a kind of vulnerability...with a slight break in voice..emotional to the core. Rafi is sublime...PBS's version was also very good...we are just mortals who are not qualified to pass remark on those Timeless, ageless...ethereal voices..
Endaro mahanubhavulu...andariki vandanamulu !! ( as saint tyagaraja said....)

Posted by: sangeetbhakt Jul 21 2009, 09:53 AM

"Vallavanukku vallavan" was made in 1965 and music is by Veda. By
definition, that means that it is the copy. Some of the other songs in the film
are copies of Hindi songs as well.
The best song in the film is a L R Eswari solo which is loosely based on "Bali
hai" from the film "South Pacific". The song is PaLiginaaL oru maaLigai

"Sau baar janam leNge" is from "UstaadoN ke ustaad" which came out in
1963.

Posted by: simplefable Jul 21 2009, 10:17 AM

SB..that is very informative. telugu version..Monagallaku monagadu ...came in 1966 and the MD was Veda. which clinches that Hindi came first with Ravi giving the original wonderful compositions..
Cant recall the LR Eswari song off the cuff..

We have no qualifications to pass judgements.

You just seem to have the amazingly ability to just toss a song, that takes one back on the time machine.
And that too a song, I am very fond of.
Absolutely great song, amazingly fresh, even after so many years.

I also remember Pasa Malar for Sivaji's great acting.

I think we are fortunate to have listened to these timeless classics while in formative years..they gave direction to our taste in music..I would prefer to stay in time warp..rather than foray into the present days' cacophony... infact i feel sad for the kids. I often end up asking them, if the music they listen to can survive the onslaught of time..

Posted by: madsur Aug 16 2009, 07:42 PM

SF,

Indeed, I am happy to be stuck in the time warp, as you are.
In fact my cut-off lines for both Hindi & Tamil is at least 30 years and at the most 20 years.
The cacophony apart, the electronic instrumentation gets on my nerves and to me, at least, seems soul-less.
There are, always, notable exceptions but the general scene is absolutely dreary and I share your view about their survival.
Luckily, my family likes & enjoys, my brand of music.

As I am writing this I am listening to Paattu Paadva from Then Nilavu.

Best Regards,
Suresh

Posted by: simplefable Aug 17 2009, 01:03 AM

Suresh..I totally agree with you there. infact i can be termed as layman after eighty..barring a few songs. am glad that your family enjoys the music along with you. For me it is kind of lonely trot .. I try to spread music by gifting out CDs to younger ppl around me..and ofcourse, surprise them once in a while by making them listening to a beautiful song of yesteryears to let them realize that the song they patronize now, is just a pale imitation of it.
I dont understand tamil..not much anyway, but enjoy every little nuance of the song when TMS or Suseela or PBS sing with their hearts out..truly music transcends linguistic barriers..
Here is one more beautiful song of TMS...which demonstrates the fact ..

I feel "Time warp" effect affects most of us. I am stuck with songs till mid sixties and love songs of 40-60 period. However, I remember my father getting annoyed with me whenever I used to switch on Radio Ceylon during the years 58-60. He used to be very critical of "newer" film songs – he used to like "old" Tamil songs of MSS, DKPattammal, NCV, GNB etc. However, the difference is I too like songs of MSS, DKPattammal, NCV, GNB in addition to Old Goldies of Hindi (and now Tamil) film songs. Today I am surprised at the songs my children like. Luckily, my children like film songs of 50s and 60s (no 40s please!!).

Today, I found a AMRaja-PLeela duet - PanPaadi Varum. I am unable to get details of song like movie name and MD. Can anybody please help?

I saw excellent write up along with links to Bhanumathi songs on net by a person called Saravanan. Very informative. The gentleman has taken lots of pains to dig up related information for each movie he has picked up. Just completed going through the write up. Propose to look for non-Bhanumathi songs from those movies and hear them. Must be interesting.

The Paalum Pazhamum duet is really excellent. In fact all the songs that I heard from this movie are great ( I have heard 8 of them). As usual, Viswanathan-Ramamurthy have given great music in this movie (like all other compositions of this team).

Rajan..googled around in vain. but what puzzles me is that this song is listed under the album TMS III in smash hits !!! here is the link...

Lets wait for HT bhai or SB who can solve this mystery !

AMR-Jikki duet landing in TMS listing? Let me download and hear it.

Posted by: HumTum Aug 28 2009, 09:51 PM

Ok here's the info. First of all it is not AMR, tho' it does sound like him. The singers are Shankar and Nithyakala (not even Jikki!)

Movie - Aavathellam Pennaley (meaning - Everything happens 'cos of a woman)

(info courtesy: Siva of sukravathanee forum)

Posted by: simplefable Aug 28 2009, 10:00 PM

HT bhai..that is quite an eye opener ! seems like fifties film...isnt it?

Posted by: HumTum Aug 28 2009, 10:07 PM

Quite likely either late 50's or early 60's.

Posted by: RajanCS Aug 29 2009, 07:48 PM

Thanks for the info.

In fact I had searched all over through google. I had also found these references. I had downloaded this song from cool toad - Old Tamil songs which had indicated the singers as AMraja-Jikki. Moreover, I got an impression that Aavathellam Pennaley was a movie of early nineties. However, I am unable to locate the page now where this year was indicated.

Therefore, we will settle for this being Shankar and Nithyakala song from Aavathellam Pennaley.

This again brings back the same thought in my mind - what a great contribution Harmandir Singh jee has made to HFM by compiling Hindi Film Geet Kosh!!!!

A similat effort is needed for Tamil Film songs.

With sincere regards,

Rajan

One more info Rajan bhai and SF bhai. The movie's release year is 1958.

Posted by: simplefable Aug 29 2009, 09:56 PM

Rajan..I couldnt express it more succinctly. Even telugu films need that kind of efforts..and the time is running out.


HT bhai..you are great. I spent so much but couldnt find any info.

Posted by: HumTum Aug 29 2009, 10:23 PM

My source and contacts are very special.

Posted by: simplefable Aug 29 2009, 10:59 PM

That is elementary deduction...Dear Watson Bhai !

Posted by: sangeetbhakt Aug 30 2009, 04:09 AM

When I heard the song, I could have sworn that the female voice is Jikki. I
was not sure about the male voice being AMR. But, I too read that the voices
are Shankar and Nithyakala - who-ever they are

There is a 1990 film called "Aavadhellaam peNNaale" with music by Shankar-Ganesh. But this film is not that one. This is obviously a film from the 50s or the 60s. So I trust HT's year of 1958. Don't know anything about this film at all.

SB..May be , Sankar and nityakala are Pseudonyms ?? We will never know, i guess..

Here is one more timeless beautiful song..with wonderful lyrics. I know the lyrics because, there is a telugu version with Ghantasala. Lovely melody !!

Vandha naal mudal..
Pava Manippu
Viswanathan, Ramamurthy

Lovely song..i recall this from my childhood.
Wonder where these melodies go and store in our hard disks..they always come back so easily...

Heard a nice TMS duet with Radha Jayalakshmi (?) from the movie Mullai Vanam -

I found a wikipedia site which lists year wise list of movies (starting from 1940s) with details such as producer, director, MD, main stars etc. I would like to know how far it is reliable giving correct info. Is there any other source for getting these info.

Posted by: sangeetbhakt Sep 4 2009, 08:59 PM

Radha-Jayalakshmi are a singing duo (I think they are sisters) who are very well known in the Carnatic
Classical arena. I believe they were students of GNB. They have sung a handful of songs in Tamil films
as well, usually with a classical bent.

Posted by: sangeetbhakt Sep 4 2009, 09:04 PM

Couple of comments:
1) In Hindi cinema, there was a time in the 40s/50s when records had the names of the characters on screen
rather than the actual singers. I sometimes wonder if Nityakala and Shankar is like that. But the website
that mentions these names seems to be quite clear that it is a singer. So who knows.
2) SF, could you please upload the Ghantasala version of "Vandha naaL mudhal"? I am a big fan of the
Tamil version and would love to hear it in Ghantasala's voice.

Posted by: simplefable Sep 4 2009, 10:59 PM

Rajan..will get back after hearing this song.
Wikipedia is reliable only up to some extent. But if someone uploaded so much data painstakingly, it should be mostly correct..just my two pence..
One day i would like to make a list like that...for telugu films..


SB..am totally ignorant of classical scene. Dont know one from another.


SB..here is the telugu song. Would love to hear the feedback from you.

Manchini marichi..vanchana nerchi..
Oke Kutumbam
SP Kodandapani
Rajasri

First off, thanks for uploading the song SF. I was kind of expecting something comparable in depth
and singing to the Tamil version. I am not personally a huge fan of TMS, but I really like his singing
in this song.
When you mentioned that Ghantasala sang the Telugu version, I was expecting something
great - what with the depth in his voice. Unfortunately, it did not match up at all; fell short by
quite a bit IMO.
What do the lyrics mean? The Tamil lyrics are fantastic - Kannadasan never ceases to amaze me.
How did this song do in Telugu?

Posted by: RajanCS Sep 6 2009, 08:55 PM

SB,

You are right about Radha Jayalakshmi - they are singing due in Carnatic music. And in this particular song only one voice is audible. That is why I had a doubt about the details which I had picked up from a discussion forum (Hub?).

I have quite a few very old nice songs taken from various sources but do not have any details. One such song is "Chandiranai Pol Irikkuma" by TRRajkumari. I would like to Know film, year of release and MD. Please help me if you (or SF, HT or anyone else) have details.

Sincere regards,

Rajan

Posted by: simplefable Sep 8 2009, 12:55 AM

SB..i can understand your feelings.
Dont know why, but this was a different Ghantasala altogether..instead of his usual way, he went out rather philosphically.. the lyrics are sublime !! The picture ran because of this one song alone..and the song is so poignant, it brings tears to any self-conscious person..
The lyrics are about the degeneration of culture and values which are so symbolized by humanity. It is about how greed is bringing everything down... TMS is sublime for me. I love his nuances and the way he throws his voice in...especially in higher pitches..


Rajan..will get back to you soon. Was away for a couple of days and hence this absence.

Posted by: RajanCS Sep 16 2009, 09:02 PM

Here is the song for which I am looking for details:

Bitrate: 128 kbps
Duration: 00:03:19

[attachmentid=296803]

I got this song from net where only singer's name was indicated.

Sincere regards,

Rajan

Posted by: sangeetbhakt Sep 17 2009, 08:53 AM

According to one source on the web, this song is from the film "Vaazha pirandhavan" (1953).
I do believe that the film name is correct since this film did star T R Rajkumari.

While that source says that the music is by S Rajeswara Rao and G Ramanathan,
another source says that the music is by T R Papa.
I don't know which one is correct.

Posted by: RajanCS Sep 18 2009, 07:38 PM

SB,

My sincere thanks to you for the information. I have been looking for these details since very long time on the web. I was searching for "Rajkumari songs" or for the lyrics (used different spellings/combinations) but never got anything close to this.

I really appreciate your efforts. May be you can share a few tips!!!

With sincere regards,

Rajan

My all time favourite from Sampoorna Ramayanam.. C.S. Jayaraman singing this lovely song.. - from what I recall from past, this song is a background song.. in the battlefield, when Rama tells Ravana to come back the next day, when the dusk falls...

Indru poi naalai vaaraai - Leave today and return tomorrow...

(64 kbps --- duration 2.51 mins)

Movie: SampoorNa raamaayaNam(1958)
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Lyrics:Marudhakasi
Cast: Sivaji,Padmini,NTR

indru poi naaLai vaaraai
indru poi naaLai vaaraai ena enai oru manidhanum pugaluvadho
indru poi naaLai vaaraai ena enai oru manidhanum pugaluvadho

maNN magaL mukam kaNde manam kalangidum nilai indru yaen koduthaai needhaan
maNN magaL mukam kaNde manam kalangidum nilai indru yaen koduthaai
indru poi naaLai vaaraai ena enai oru manidhanum pugaluvadho

HT bhai...good to see you start up this thread again..
Never heard of CS Jayaraman...but the way he enunciates this song..full of emotion and the way he breaks up the words is a pleasure..even as i cant understand the meaning...
Somehow, KL Saigal came to my mind..just raw emotions..

Here is a lovely lovely song..from a film called Kadal meengal. With a forgettable story and acting..It has this beautiful melody which stole me. Ever since, when ever i see seas and the men riding over waves...this invariably comes to my mind..
hope you will enjoy...

Kadal meengal
Thaalattude vaanam
Malaysia vasudevan, Janaki
Ilaya raja..

Another of my favourite is by Trichy Loganathan and Jikki from Manthira Kumari (1950). Music by G. Ramanathan. This song has a mixture of classical and western tune.

Ulavum thendral kaatriniley..

Featured on S.A. Natarajan and Madhuri Devi.

Link to download and enjoy.

Another famous song from this movie is (when the villain takes his lady to the hill side to give her the final push! )

Vaaraai nee vaaraai..

Thanks in advance,

Venkat

Some of the other songs in this film, each one a gem

Posted by: simplefable Nov 13 2009, 09:46 AM

HT bhai..both are nice songs. Dont know if they are in telugu..but the music does sound a bell..


SB...indeed the film has finest of the melodies..in every mood and colour of life. those are the days....

Posted by: HumTum Nov 13 2009, 09:49 AM

SF bhai there is a great influence of western music in this song. Probably that is also the reason it sounds familiar to you.

Posted by: venkat Nov 13 2009, 12:33 PM

Many sincere thanks, SB, for the uploads.

This Aththan Ennaththan song is a winner in every way, be it for the voice of P.Suseela, the way of her rendition, the tune, the orchestration and, very importantly, even for its picturisation on two real southern classical beauties, Devika and Savitri!

The other song you uploaded is also quite well-known to me, though I could place it only when I heard it now.
