என் உயிர் நீதானே; உன் உயிர் நாந்தானே !!! Priya !

In recent times, whenever big banner films are set to release, they create some ruckus, create negative publicity to ensure that the reach is wider, thereby the movie runs and they mint money !!   See movies just as entertainment and shun actors otherwise ! 

Decades ago this song was a big hit (the movie was not so) – unlikely that one can decipher these words, though most would hum along !!

 

ஹத்தியக்கு சுக்காவா !  ஸ்லாலுவக்கு ஜிந்த்தாவா !!

 சயாபாண்டாங் டெரிமு !  சயா பர் ஹரி ஹரி டோக்கா !! 

Year 1978 and the female who acted in this song is now 75+ - then what could tbe age of Hero and others !!    “Priya”  directged by SP Muthu Raman with dialogues penned by Panchu Arunachalam, starring Rajnikant, Sridevi and ..    Malay actress Aznah Hamid.   Understand that she has her line of perfumes  and acted on TV serials till a couple of years ago.

 

The movie was adapted from a novel of the same name by genius  Sujatha Rangarajan. It was a serial in weekly magazine Kumudham and storyline was about a budding actress travelling to London ! – but in the movie, it was Singapore – and lawyer Ganesh (portrayed by Rajnikanth) went to Singapore but his junior Vasanth was denied visa !!!    It was dubbed and released in Telugu as Ajeyudu; in Hindi as Love in Singapore  

 

என் உயிர் நீதானே; உன் உயிர் நாந்தானே

நீ யாரோ இங்கு நான் யாரோ,  ஒன்று சேர்ந்தோமே இன்பம் காண்போமே 

Illayraja rose to fame with the background score and nice songs in this movie.  This particular song featuring Rajni and Malay actress was sung by KJ Yesudoss and Jensi. 

 

Literally – when two bodies claim their soul to be one, it is indeed happiness !! – here is a picture of two calves with one head !
