Song: mA madurai naattinil
Film: OLimayamAna ethirkAlam
Singers: SPB, VJ
Music: Vijayabasker
Lyricist: Kannadhasan?

It's time again to revisit the low-tech 70s with its bountiful collection of graceful melodies. A great artist can create a memorable painting with very few colors. The SOTD flies elegantly on simple guitar, bongos, tabla, and flute for the most part. A surprising carnatic interlude with delicious miruthangam shows up only to flow back to the easy melody. Vijayabasker will be enshrined forever in my musical pantheon for just a dozen of his melodies. They are enchanting and profound in their simplicity. SPB and VJ, Vijayabasker's platinum pair, etch another object of wonder in our musical landscape.

Dear Udhaya

How joyful after listening to this song. Like you I
got mesmerised by Vijaya bhaskar-SPB-VJ. Yes my heart
goes to ANBU MEGAMAE INGU OODIVAA. Quiet unfortunate
that I am not able to access dhool.com from office and
could not able to participate daily(very sad)due to
restriction. I ran to nearby browsing center to listen
this song. Once again THANKS TO DHOOL.COM.
Thanks udhaya. Bring more golden melodies like this.

Regards
Ramesh

Vani sounds the darling of the song. SPB is at his usual cajoling self.

Thank you for the SotD. This is one of my all time favourites. Particularly Vijayabhaskar should have composed more films in Tamil, which didn't happen. His asthaana paadagi, Vani Jayaram's rendering of the song pAdum vaNdE pArthathundA, mudhal mudhal varum sugam edhuvena iLamai kEtkiradhu, mOhana punnagai UrvalamO, iLamai nAttiya sAlai, the list goes on. And the best from him can be anbu mEgamE ingu Odi vA. This song was picturised on the Marina Beach during midnights for about a week, and once or twice I too saw the shooting. When this song was played in the shooting it just struck me immediately and every body who were there started to haunt it from then on. Thank you for bringing one of the gems from Vijayabhaskar.
Raghavendran.
