ENGA OORU PATTUKKARAN(1987)
md Ilayaraja

song senbakame - Asha Bhosle - 4:25/128

Lakshmi..this song brings lots of memories.
While i was doing my final year grad in Chennai, this song was a rage. I used to enjoy this song a lot...Our cook / gardener who is a native tamilian used to criticize Asha's singing saying that she stresses on wrong syllables..I dont know a word of tamil, yet used to enjoy this gem ! The willingness of these legendary singers to come out and sing in a language which they are not at all familiar shows their geniality.. i cherish that.

She was good, but accent is obviously there.

HT bhai..woh to hona hi tha !! Have you heard the telugu song of Lata ?

Telugu song by Lata! No I haven't

HT bhai..here is the link for the song.
Lata sang one song for the film " santhanam" under the baton of Susarla Dakshina murthy. When Lata came to Hyderabad to accept ANR award, she felicitated Dakshina murthy before receiving the award..and recalled her association..

Which year was this movie made??

1955..........

Venkat,

I understand that it is not easy to sing in Kannada, Tamil,Telugu or Malayalam. No oldtimer except Asha has done it. Being a Tamilian, my Tamil is horrible. It is not easy to sing a tamil song. Asha has done a pretty good job. She has sung around 7 songs in Tamil. I will try to upload a few more.It was Mastreo Ilayaraja who gave her the chance to sing her first Tamil song.

Lakshmi

Lakshmi, you said it all. Actually Asha also says that it is tough to sing in south languages..unlike marathi which is flexible..
Here is a youtube link for the interview of Asha and her rehearsal...courtesy Lakshmi. Real pleasure to watch Asha..

Thanks for both the songs and the link. Lakshmi, SF...

I like the way Ashaji says 'rombo nalla"

Look forward to the rest of the songs. Lakshmi... if you dont get the time to upload, do let know the titles, will search them out

Cant wait to hear the rest

Bhavita

Thanks Venkat and Bhavita for the nice remarks.Asha Bhosle is a remarkable singer. I am uploading this song from the famous Rajanikanth movie Chandramukhi. Here, Asha's voice is like a teenager's.

HEY RAM(2000)
md Ilayaraj

song nee paartha - Asha Bhosle, Hariharan - 4:03/128

The song from Chandramukhi was sung in telugu by Sujata.

I like Sujata very much. She has a very sweet voice. Asha Bhosle has done a very good job here. It is a nice change.

Lakshmi

If I'm not mistaken, Lata also sang a duet with SPB in the Telugu film Akhari Poratam (1988) under Ilaiyaraja's baton.

Aditya

Aditya..!! Amazing. you are a walking dictionary. I never knew that till date. That is the phase of my life when i almost abstained from telugu films...
The song...Tella cheeraku..from Aakhari poratam can be downloaded from this link..

Btw it is enga ooru paatukkaaran.. (not paddukaran). You have repeated one movie - Naan solvathe sattam.

Never heard of Aakhri porattam ( how in the God's name did a hindi word get prefixed to a tamil word? )
