o fortuna with 300 in background

i heard this piece of carl orff first in a tv ad of old spice when i was around 10. i didnt know anything about music at that time. but it was my first tryst with wcm. it was my favourite.

in recent times a movie i enjoyed watching was '300'. zack snyder has romanced the spartan way of facing death. it may look gory but ratham therikardha kooda rombave rasichu eduthirukaan manushan. surely it is not for all. so weak hearted, dont even try.

i imagined being a spartan and thrusting a spear on all politicians's chests. it was highly satiating. indha madhiri namma arasiyalvadhigalai kuthi theerkanum asai theera. at least karpanailayavadhu.

present u 'carmina burana' with '300' in the background.
this was performed by the Atlanta Philharmonic, taken from the movie EXCALIBUR soundtrack. 1980s!

dil doondtha hai from mausam

there is a song 'nee enge en ninaivugal ange' from the movie 'mannippu'. it was tuned with 2 different melodies but same lyrics. similarly 'dil doondtha hai' from mausam also has 2 versions with same lyrics. madan mohan is the md with beautiful lyrics from gulzar.

sandhana punnagai from nadodi raja

this film starred Rajiv, Aruna, Satyaraj, VA Nirmala, Silk Smitha, Sangili Murugan, YGM, Y.Vijaya and others. It was produced by Geetha Srinivasan and directed by S.M.Umar.

it is an useless movie in which rajiv's manasatchi takes mgr form and thiruthify him. in those days all heroes will have a link with mgr in their movies. summa mgr poster illa mgr padam edhavadhu vachu oru scene eduthuduvaanga.

even that was enough to cajole the distributors to buy the movie. ippo kooda all magazines do that. business konjam dull-a irundha rajini rishikesh ponaar, bathroom ponaar-nu edhaiyavadhu pottu circulation-a ethuvaanga. cheap publicity stunts by content-less magazines. even some mediocre politicians do this. krishnaswamy, thiruma, ramadoss, anbumani all these people when they want publicity will take rajini or kamal to task and will appear in next day dailies. silly thugs.

coming to the song, sung by spb and sj this song had music by shankar ganesh. the duo managed a gud melody somehow reminding u of pani vizhum malarvanam. based on chalanatai, it is a gud attempt.

another mgr pugazh paadum song ' enga veetu pillai nee thanaiyya' is also sung by spb.
