Am glad I finally found a thread where others appreciate music from these time periods
Watched "Policekaran Magal"
A number of firsts for me
first movie with Chandrababu I saw, was a delight to see him and Manorama
especially during their "Poranthalum" duet...too cute, their expressions and the lyrics...I feel nowadays that I've stopped paying attention to lyrics, they seem repetitive or seem to collect pleasant sounding/situation appropriate words and put them in order...of course there (Thank goodness) many exceptions to this!!
first duet I saw that it was sis/bro even in sad verison
Overall came out thinking what a wretched character that Balaji had to play
everyone seemed so damn helpless especially Vijyakumari and of course the overly weak nature attributed to females, their overpowering sorrows and due fatal illness...haha cynicism much?
But the songs
"Pon Enbane Siru Poo Enbane"...PBS's voice is so deep and melodious, such a haunting quality to it...Janaki's voice timid and modest...beautiful! I liked how their perspective views of their marriage were pictured, with religious figures for Vijayakumari while for Balaji, he only imagines said heroine in various outfits...saree,stylish salwar,skirt and blouse.
"Indha Mandrathil" song is even in the sad version very lilting and sweet...inextinguishable in its optimistic sounding..would be an injustice to not mention how wonderful P.Susheela is!
The major pathos song "Kannale Neer Etharku" I feel the poignant lyrics totally overtook the song, in a good way though.
Maybe because it was a tv movie...missed the popular" Nilaavukku En Mel Enaadi Kovam" a fave of mine ...knew this song long before...bgm flute has the perfect sprightly touch
