Vattaththukkul Sathuram (1978)

Cast : Latha, Sumitra, Saratbabu, Srikanth, Savitri, Thengai Srinivasan, V.Gopalakrishnan, C.K.Saraswathi
Director : S.P.Muthuraman
Producer :N.S.Mani

VattathukkuL Sathuram (1978/ MAM Films) starred Latha, Sumitra, Saratbabu, Srikanth, Savitri, Thengai Srinivasan, V.Gopalakrishnan, C.K.Saraswathi and others. The film was produced by N.S.Mani and directed by S.P.Muthuraman.

It was a trend at that time to adapt popular novels for celluloid, and Maharsihi was one writer whose works were in demand just then. bhuvana oru kELvikkuRi, saaindhadamma saaindhaadu, nadhiyai thEdi vandha kadal were all his stories.

VattathukkuL Sathuram too was based on Maharishi’s story. The film explored a theme unusual for Tamil cinema- female bonding, and the terrible sacrifice that Anu (Latha) makes for the sake of her friend Malathi (Sumitra) Sridhar’s avaLukkendRu Or manam did traverse this path earlier, though the situations and sequences were wholly different.

Babu’s camerawork in VattathukkuL Sathuram was of particular appeal; the angles were innovative and the b & w frames austere and telling. Sure the proceedings had their fair share of melodrama, but the subtle and refined performances, especially Latha’s, saved the movie from becoming yet another tearjerker.

01.Kaathal Ennum Kaaviyam - Jikki : Download

Who knows what made Ilaiyaraja think of Jikki suddenly and summon her to sing this song? By 1978, Jikki’s glorious second innings too was showing signs of waning; her last song at that point of time was perhaps way back in 1975- ‘manathukku theriyum’ for A.M.Raja in enakkoru magan pirappaan.

So when it seemed that Jikki was being exiled to oblivion yet again, Ilaiyaraja brought her back, and gave her second innings a rejuvenating extended lease. And Jikki didn’t let him down for sure. The voice that ruled the 50s with unassuming majesty was still sweet in 1978- ravages of age had not withered the charm much. This haunting song and the popularity it enjoyed showed that Jikki couldn’t be written off so easily. While it wasn’t as though she was inundated with work, some memorable songs did come her way in the subsequent years.

Anu falls in love with Malathi’s brother. But he is disdainful of her dubious parentage and wards off her overtures callously. A smitten Anu refuses to see the writing on the wall, and asks him to meet her at nightfall in the village outskirts. The unfeeling fool doesn’t care for her tryst, and even worse, he doesn’t care for her trust. For he complains to his mother of Anu’s behaviour. The highly incensed mother draws the village elders, and the group of indignant people march towards the riverbank where Anu is awaiting him with growing impatience.

So as she waits at the rendezvous, this is the song that Anu sings softly to herself, blissfully ignorant of the approaching humiliation, and the calamitous path her life would take henceforth. She sings, with her heart overflowing with love, her dreams filled with happy tidings of their marriage, her eyes searching restlessly for the sight of her man…

Right from the opening humming, Jikki brings to life the myriad musings that the song evokes. How poignantly the longings of a love struck heart find portrayal in her caressing rendition! And IR shows his class in style, for even as the lines are sung tenderly as they ought to be, he fills the interludes with hurried, suspense-filled moments, as the angle shifts to the gang of the infuriated villagers marching towards Anu.

Let us too revel in this calm before the storm…

02.Aada Sonnarey - Jency : Download

Anu has started dancing in a nightclub, so that Malathi may pursue the college education of her dreams. This song is crooned by Anu as she dances. She sings a song of seduction, but the hint of the angst within is poignantly perceptible.

பேரழகு மேனி கொண்டேன்
ஊர் புகழ ஆட வந்தேன்
பார்ப்பதற்கும் ரசிப்பதற்கும்
காவலென்ன வேலியென்ன

பேரழகு மேனி கொண்டேன்
ஊர் புகழ ஆட வந்தேன்
பார்ப்பதற்கும் ரசிப்பதற்கும்
காவலென்ன வேலியென்ன

நான் சிரித்த நேரத்திலே
நான் நினைத்த வாழ்க்கையில்லை
நான் வளர்ந்த பாதையிலே
நாலு பக்கம் வேலியில்லை
பாசத்துக்கு மனதை வைத்தேன்
வாழ்வதற்கு அழகை வைத்தேன்
உன் உறவின் ஆதரவில்
காலமென்றும் மகிழ்ந்திருப்பேன்

பேரழகு மேனி கொண்டேன்
ஊர் புகழ ஆட வந்தேன்
பார்ப்பதற்கும் ரசிப்பதற்கும்
காவலென்ன வேலியென்ன

வட்டத்துக்குள் சதுரம் ஒன்று
சதுரத்தில் வட்டம் ஒன்று
உள்ளத்துக்குள் உள்ளம் என்று
ஒன்று பட்ட பிணைப்பும் உண்டு
கோடி மலர் வாங்கி வந்து
கூந்தல் தனில் சூட்டி வைத்தேன்
வாழ வைத்து பார்ப்பதொன்றே
ஏழை எந்தன் ஆசையம்மா

பேரழகு மேனி கொண்டேன்
ஊர் புகழ ஆட வந்தேன்
பார்ப்பதற்கும் ரசிப்பதற்கும்
காவலென்ன வேலியென்ன

03.Itho Itho En Nenjile - BS Sasirekha,Uma Devi & SJanaki : Download

Ilaiyaraja’s music was, of course, another highpoint of the movie. Since the story revolved around the two girls, all the 4 songs were by female singers. ‘ithO ithO en nenjilE’, the flagship number, remains a timeless ode to friendship. Tracing the years rolling by as Baby Indira and Baby Sumathi grow up to Latha and Sumitra, the opening lines are sung by Umadevi and Indira, and then SJ and BSS take over in scintillating style. ‘aada sonnarE ellOrum’ is a breezy club dance number that Jency crooned in her very first year in tfm. ‘pErazhagu mEni koNdEn’ is another club song, but the pathos which was just hinted at in ‘aada sonnarE’ becomes palpable in this song, rendered by SJ with characteristic understanding.

இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்
அதோ அதோ என் பாட்டிலே ஓரே ராகம்
கொடி நீ மலர் நான் கிளை நீ கனி நான்
மனம் போல் வாழ்வோம் துணை நீ
இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்

ஓடுது ரயில் பாதை மனம் போலவே
பாடுது குயில் அங்கே தினம் போலவே
மா மரம் பூ பூத்து விளையாடுது
காடெங்கும் புது வாசம் பரந்தோடுது
பார்த்தது எல்லாம் பரவசம் ஆகும்
புதுமைகள் காண்போம் என்னாளுமே
இனி வாழ்வில் நீதான் என் சொந்தமே

இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்
அதோ அதோ என் பாட்டிலே ஓரே ராகம்

தீபத்தின் ஒளியாக ஒரு பாதி நான்
வசந்த்தின் மலராக மறு பாதி நீ
காற்றினில் ஒலியாக வருவேனடி
கனவுக்குள் நினைவாக வருவாயடி
நிலவுக்கு வானம் நீருக்கு மேகம்
கொடிகொரு கிளைபோல் துணை நீயம்மா
இனி வாழ்வில் நீதான் என் சொந்தமே

இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்
அதோ அதோ என் பாட்டிலே ஓரே ராகம்

ஓடமும் நீரின்றி ஓடாதம்மா
நீ சொல்லும் வழி நானே வருவேனம்மா
தோழமை உறவுக்கு ஈடேதம்மா
நீ சொன்ன மொழி நானே கேட்பேனம்மா
உனக்கென நானும் எனக்கென நீயும்
உலகினில் வாழ்வோம் என்நாளுமே
இனி வாழ்வில் நீதான் என் சொந்தமே

இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்
அதோ அதோ என் பாட்டிலே ஓரே ராகம்

ராமனின் குகனாக உனை பார்க்கிறேன்
மாலதி அணுவாக நான் வாழ்கிறேன்
இரு மனம் அன்பாலே ஒன்றானது
நேசத்திலே உள்ளம் பண்பாடுது
பறவைகள் போலே பறந்திடுவோம்
மகிழ்வுடன் வாழ்வோம் என்நாளுமே
இனி வாழ்வில் நீதான் என் சொந்தமே

இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்
அதோ அதோ என் பாட்டிலே ஓரே ராகம்
கொடி நீ மலர் நான் கிளை நீ கனி நான்
மனம் போல் வாழ்வோம் துணை நீ
இதோ இதோ என் நெஞ்சிலே ஒரே பாடல்

Ayan Laadan Illaiyaraja

What others says about Maestro Ilaiyaraja

Ilaiyaraaja is my favourite musician. He has that unmatched talent to maintain a particular raga till the very end of the song. The essence & soul of the raga is well maintained throughout

ANURADHA KRISHNAMURTHY (Carnatic Vocalist / TV star, South India)

As far as i am concerned, i would say Ilaiyaraja is the composer of the century. If there is one single authority on 'orchestration', it can only be ilaiyaraja.

Dr.BALAMURALIKRISHNA (Eminent Carnatic Vocalist, India) .

I love all the melodious compositions of ilaiyaraja sung by S.P.Balasubramaniam and Yesudoss. My all time favourite is 'raja raja chozhan' from 'Rettai Vaal Kuruvi' that i hum frequently.

L.BALAJI (Budding Cricket Star/Bowler, India)

There wont be another ilaiyaraja. He is par excellence, self taught and a complete composer. Improvising on original compositions of someone like ilaiyaraja has always been a dicey proposition for me. Some of my improvisations / touches get his nod, while in other instances when i go overboard, he would step in with a figurative spank in the ear. Me, Jesu anna and Chitra are all so lucky to have got the opportunity to sing hundreds of numbers in his music.

S.P.BALASUBRAHMANYAM (Eminent Singer, Music Director, India)

If a situation arised wherein ilaiyaraaja decides to quit film music, i would as well quit making films. We both have worked so long with each other now that i dont need to explain him in great details abt my expectations. He knows what music i would want, and i create situations which he will love to make music for.

BALUMAHENDRA (Eminent Film Director, India)

He is the master of background music. I watch films that has ilaiyaraja as the music director, just for his background scores. "Thalapathi" is one such movie, which i have watched umpteen times just for his BGMs.

BHARADHWAJ (Music Composer, India)

When you listen to his songs, you feel as if you were in a trance. Especially, the song," Kaatril Endhan Geedham" from film Johny. Listening to his music is by itself a meditation to me.

BHARANI (Music Composer, South India)

I shoot scenes with a particular impact in mind. And even before i discuss about what i have in mind, he is already ready with mind boggling BGM bits.

BHARATHIRAAJA (Noted Film Maker, India)

His music is precious. Mere dishing out of money wont get you such quality music.

CHANDRAHASAN ( Film Producer, India)

I owe a lot to maestro ilaiyaraja and I will ever remain grateful to him. He is the main reason for whatever i have achieved as a singer thus far in my career. The padmashree award that i received was not for me...it is dedicated to raja sir...I still remember very clearly the day when i sang "poojaiketha poovidhu" in his recording studio..From that day, till today, he has been blessing me with his love, standing by me as my own father ...

CHITRA (Eminent Singer, India)

We are big fans of the Maestro, and are proud to be the exclusive North American importer of the WINGS CD. ReR USA holds no allegiance to any particular style or genre of music, rather we only care about excellence. That's why we're so thrilled to have ilaiyaraaja !!.

DAVID KERMAN (ReR-USA, Music Distributor, North America)

He is my God. I have grown up listening to his music. Whatever i am able to compose today, i owe it to this maestro.

DEVI SRI PRASAD (Film Music Director, South India)
