Great song... Also these:



and this:

In fact, most of hte songs in all the "Paa" Series of movies are great...same set of actors, directos, Kannadhasan and MSV (the greatest music director combo ever).

>>>>One of my favorite songs. There is a story behind it. Apparently, KD was supposed to write the song but it slipped his mind. The director called him to remind him and let him know he was under the gun in terms of time. KD supposedly told the director to write down the lyrics and made up the song on the spot. I don't know if this is a true story or was concocted later, but the words are simple yet catchy.

Think it is true. Saw Panju Arunachalam - who was KD's assistant writer and also for this movie - on a recent TV program and he described his experience/interaction with KD. He mentioned something about this song and how spontaneous KD was - (if I remember right it was this song).

I used to think Telugus always exaggerate about this over-action aspect of Tamil Cinema.

Or was the movie shown on any Tamil TV channel recently?

Why did you bring it up?

I am an unapologetic fan of Tamil movies, esp. old movies..and a huge fan of Sivaji Ganesan..I am so glad I had the experience of watching his movies in the theaters when they were first released, one rare appearance on stage..simply unforgettable memories! He is one of the great artists of all time (if Americans can call their artists- National Treasures..I would call him that too) don't think I will see anyone with his majesty in my lifetime..

ada da daa.. naan summanAchum kAdhalikka naeramillai vasanathai pottAen akka..There is no question that Sivaji Ganesan was the greatest of all times across the globe, particularly the old ones.. they who label him theatrical often forget the totally subdued roles he has played , sometimes in the same movie like the doctor in Navaraithiri and the adopted son in Gauravam just to cite a couple of examples. Recently I was totally spell bound watching his Óthello' performance in Raththa thilakam..the elegance, style, suave and elan OMG it was ! Of course he was the living proof for äll, especially national awards are political' - he was never awarded by the indian government

greatest WHAT? i have never seen him give a muted performance. it was all about rolling his eyes, contorting his face, rocking his body, laughing, crying and expressing every little emotion in 15,000 words with some "ayooooooo", ammmaaaaa, epppidi soLLittayeeee" and other such over-the-top lines.

e-bhaiyyas were inspired by him, i think.

Agree....unlike our modern hereos who can run faster than cars, catch bullet, blow bullets off target, Beat 5 villains with one stroke, etc....

Perhaps you are a MGR fan - who did not do any of those, except raise his hands both ways each second.
