Nalladhor Veenai

During my recent trip to India, I got a chance to see the movie "Varumayin Niram Sirappu". While it reflects more of things at the time then, the way KB blends Bharathiyar into the storyline is amazing. The depth of each song complements the situations and vice versa. I wanted to revisit one exceptional piece in this post.

The composition "Nalladhor Veenai" juxtapositioning an idealistic and jobless Kamal trying to get a meal and his illustrious singer father singing the song in a concert in Delhi is exceptional. Kamal loses everything but his ideals and thus has everything. His father has everything but nothing since his son is not to be found and hence no peace of mind. The song and its lyrics are here along with the rest of the tracks in the movie. I am sure many of you have seen the movie, heard the songs but give it another shot and you will never regret it.


Movie Name: Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu (1980)
Singer: Balasubramanyam S P
Music Director: Viswanathan M S
Lyrics: Bharathiyaar, Kannadasan
Year: 1980
Actors: Kamal Hassan, Sridevi

nalladhoar veenai seydhae - adhai
nalangedap puzhudhiyil erivadhundoa

(nalladhoar)

solladi sivasakthi - enaich
chudarmigum arivudan padaiththuvittaay
vallamai thaaraayoa - indha
maanilam payanura vaazhvadharkae
solladi sivasakthi - nilach
chumaiyena vaazhndhidap puriguvaiyoa

(nalladhoar)

visaiyurup pandhinaip poal - ullam
vaendiyapadi seyyum udal kaettaen
nasaiyaru manam kaettaen - niththam
navamenach chudar tharum uyir kaettaen...uyir kaettaen...uyir kaettaen
thasaiyinaith theechchudinum - siva
sakthiyaip paadum nallagam kaettaen
asaivuru madhi kaettaen - ivai

And here is another gem from the movie.

Premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration, with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. It may result in an unsatisfactory sexual experience for both partners. PE is one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction and has probably affected every man at some point in his life. http://www.levitrabliss.com/
