...it's a smooth folksy tune...and believe me, her accent's not totally unbelievable!!

Hits

Phew! Thanks Hits !!

Ages since I heard that one!!

Priyaaaaaaaaaaaaa where are you ?? Remember we were discussing this one on another forum long ago!!

Phew!!

Song is from the malayalam movie : Ponni! Right?

N

Thanks Nimii. It's actually from the Movie "Nellu". Nellu means Grain (foodgrain, that is) in Malayalam...

yes yes that is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got confused with nellu and ponni (ponni is a variety of nellu (rice grain) in tamil nadu!) tsk tsk

N

Yup here I am. Do not understand Hitsji's statement too about the unbelievable accent--what does that mean? No offence to lataji as it is the mallus' job to teach her the song but it does not sound like malayalam at all.
But the song is anyway one for the archives as the only Mallu number by lataji.
Nim ko khaane se matlab hai phir chahe woh nellu ho ya ponni ya dal chawal

Kya kare yaar paapi pet ka sawaal hai

"not totally unbelievable" paraphrased as "somewhat believable"......

Calling upon all my Mallu friends on here... koi mujhe Dil Se ka Mallu chorus (song - Diya Jale Jaan Jale) translate kar ke do ji (Raj Kapoor ishtyle!)

Dhanyawaad
