ஓவியனும் வரைந்ததில்லையே; உன்னைப் போல் ஓர் அழகை ~ Choco Pigeon

 

Pigeons are wonderful and treat to watch especially when they spread their wings – here is a Brown choco Pigeon that used to come daily couple of years ago! But missing in recent years …….. .. not sure of its existence !!

Nagaraj and Sampath are garment salesmen and roommates in Nagercoil. Sampath is a straightforward person who believes in honesty, Nagaraj is a womaniser, in contrast to Sampath who believes in true love. Sampath's lover Raji, while fleeing from a rogue bull, dies due to an accident. A depressed Sampath attempts suicide, but Nagaraj stops him, and Sampath decides to stop selling garments, instead confining himself to remaining Nagaraj's assistant.

Aboard a train bound for Madras, Nagaraj and Sampath encounter Muthu, a temple trust clerk who has a suitcase full of cash. But Muthu dies en route of a heart attack and Nagaraj steals his suitcase, despite Sampath's objections. Muthu's sister Bhuvana visits them at Nagercoil to enquire about the lost cash (which is all black money). Nagaraj denies knowing anything, but Bhuvana remains suspicious. He pretends to love her; Bhuvana falls for his lust and has sex with him.

~  decipher the movie with the storyline !!  ~ this was a beautiful song in that movie.

விழியிலே மலர்ந்தது உயிரிலே கலந்தது

பெண்ணென்னும் பொன்னழகே ! அடடா எங்கெங்கும் உன்னழகே

 

மனம் மயங்கும் மெய் மறக்கும்;  புது உலகின் வழி தெரியும்

பொன் விளக்கே தீபமே  

ஓவியனும் வரைந்ததில்லையே; உன்னைப் போல் ஓர் அழகை கண்டதில்லையே

 

It was a super hit song of yesteryears - g "Vizhiyile Malarnthathu" from the movie Bhuvana Oru Kelvi Kuri (1977), composed by Ilaiyaraaja and sung by S.P. Balasubramanian. Panchu Arunachalam wrote the lyrics.  This song was  set in the Carnatic raga Natabhairavi. 

Bhuvana Oru Kelvi Kuri was notable for casting Rajinikanth and Sivakumar as a hero and antihero, contrary to the roles they played in earlier films. It was a commercial success, and won two Filmfare Awards:  the success of the movie  led to Rajinikanth playing more positive roles in films.

Interesting !
