Avar Enakke Sontham (1977)

Cast : Jaishankar,Srividya,Padapat Jayalakshmi, Thengai Srinivasan
Director : Panju Arunachalam
Producer :P.A. Art Productions
Music :"Isaignani" Illiayaraja





Avar Enakke Sontham (P.A. Art Productions) starred Jaishankar, Srividya, Padapat Jayalakshmi, Thengai Srinivasan and others. It was the time when Panju Arunachalam had begun to don many hats besides lyrics writing; Avar Enakke Sontham was among those early films for which he wrote the screenplay, dialogues and lyrics, besides being the producer.

‘Iru kangal ondraaga, iru kaatchi thaniyaaga’ this line from a song in the film succinctly summarizes the plot. Anand (Jai) and his wife Kavitha (Srividya) are at constant loggerheads. Kavitha rules the household with an iron hand and the children too resent her stringent disciplinary measures. Both Anand and the kids find comfort in the affection and care that they get from Elizabeth (Padapat Jayalakshmi) who is a typist in Anand’s office. Kavitha misunderstands this relationship; but gradually realizes the error of her own ways. All is well that ends well.

It was ‘annakkiLi’ Selvaraj who introduced IR to Panju Arunachalam. Selvaraj, who had earlier been highly impressed by IR’s talents when IR had composed music for his stage drama, had words of high commendation for IR. And thus was born the prolific Panju- IR association that saw so many landmark collaborations in the coming years.

From 4 films in 1976, IR had progressed magnificently to 12 films in 1977. And most of those 12 would not merit even a dusty rear corner in memory had it not been for his wonderful songs. The year would also remain special to IR for the reason that it was in 1977 that he bagged the TN Govt’s Award for his outstanding work in 16 vayathinilE.

Avar Enakke Sontham had 6 songs. I have a hazy recollection of watching this song in oLiyum oliyum- Padapat Jayalakshmi singing with the kids, with Jai looking on. P.Suseela’s alluring ‘Thenil Aadum Roja' is the other divine creation that bestows upon the album the boon of immortality. The jaunty baila ‘Suraangani’ (Malaysia Vasudevan & Renuka) found instant favor with the youth of the time, and Radio Ceylon, quite understandably went to town with it. TMS too found place in the album- while the melancholic and meditative ‘Kuthiraiyile Naan Amarnthen' was perhaps a characteristic TMS number, the uproarious ‘Kabhi Kabhi Dil Mein' captures TMS at his mischievous best- he simply freaks out in the swift classical passages culminating in a delightful dappankuthu! SPB’s wry ‘Oru Veedu Iru Ullam' was the last song in this unforgettable album.

01.Devan Thiruchchabai (4.19)- Poorani & Indira

Poorani and Indira were regular singers in IR’s troupe. In 1975, a year before AnnakkiLi, IR, along with his brothers, had come up with an album called ‘Pop Hits of 1975’. GA had penned the songs, and along with TMS, SPB, MV and R.D.Baskar, Poorani was the only female singer to feature in the album. After ‘Devan Thiruchchabai Malargale’, it was Gangai Amaran who gave Poorani a few opportunities like ‘Adi Ennoda Vaadi’ (Oru Vidukathai Oru Thodarkathai), ‘Vaanam Poo Sindhattum’ (MalargalilE AvaL Malligai) and ‘VeLLam Pole Thullum UllangalE’ (KanavugaL Karpanaigal). As for Indira, prior to ‘Devan Thiruchchabai Malargale' she had sung ‘Dear Uncle’ in Uravaadum Nenjam. Poorani and Indira continued in IR’s troupe as chorus singers, and sang in his stage shows too. Perhaps they are still part of IR’s chorus singers; ' Devan Thiruchchabai Malargale ' being their fleeting tryst with tamil film history.

தேவன் திருச்சபை மலர்களே
வேதம் ஒலிக்கின்ற மணிகளே
போடுங்கள் ஓர் புன்னகைக்கோலம்
பாடுங்கள் ஓர் இன்னிசை ராகம்

விண்மீனை உன் கண்களில் பார்க்கிறேன்
பொன்மானை உன் நடையினில் காண்கிறேன்
எங்கள் அன்னை மேரியின்
பொஙும் கருணை மழையிலே
என் செல்வமே என் தெய்வமே
பல்லாயிரம் ஆண்டுகள் வாழ்கவே

(தேவன்)

கண்ணே மணியே பொன்னெழில் மலர்களே
அன்பே அமுதே அருந்தவப் பயன்களே
கொஞ்சூம் மழலை மொழியிலே
உள்ளம் மயங்க மயங்கவே
பொன்வண்டு போல் சில்வண்டு போல்
கவிபாடுங்கள் உலகம் மகிழவே

சுராங்கனி … சுராங்கனி … சுராங்கனி..
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா
மாலு மாலு மாலு சுரங்கனிக்க மாலு
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா

கூட்டத்திலே சின்ன பொண்ணு மாட்டிக்கிட்டாளாம்
கூட வந்த சின்ன பய்யன் இடிச்சி பாத்தானாம்
மாட்டிக்கிட்ட சின்ன குட்டி மொறச்சி பாத்தாளாம்
இடிச்சி நின்ன சின்ன பய்யன் இளிச்சி நின்னானாம்
ஊட்டியில மாமனுக்கு மலையில வீடு
ஊட்டுக்குள்ளே குளுரடிச்சா விஸ்கிய போடு
சூடு கொஞம் ஏறிச்சின்னா சுதியில பாடு
ஜோடிக்கொரு பொண்ணிருக்கு டூயட்டு பாடு

சுராங்கனி … சுராங்கனி..
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா
மாலு மாலு மாலு சுரங்கனிக்க மாலு
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா

மாடி வேட்டு மச்சானுக்கு ஒரு மாதிரியா ஆசை
மதுரை வீரன் சாமிபோல ஆட்டுக்கடா மீசை
வயசு வந்த பொண்ண பாத்து ஏங்குறாரு பேச
வம்பு செய்ற மாமனுக்கு காத்திருக்கு பூசை
அரிசிருக்கு பருப்பிருக்கு ஆக்க முடியலே
அடுப்பிருக்கு நெருப்பிருக்கு சேக்க முடியலே
ஆச பட்ட எல்லாத்தையும் கேக்க முடியலே
அடுத்த வீட்டு அத்த மகளை பாக்க முடியலே..

சுராங்கனி … சுராங்கனி … சுராங்கனி..சுராங்கனி…
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா
மாலு மாலு மாலு சுரங்கனிக்க மாலு
சுராங்கனிக்க மாலு கெனா வா

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)
