ponveene en ullin...

One beautiful aspect of malayalam music is that the melody is usually preserved even in fast songs. Nowadays this aspect is getting lost due to the influence of tamil and hindi music, but there are quite a few "melodious fast numbers" (however weird that might sound in modern times) in vintage malayalam film music. A song that fits into this category is "Ponveene En Ullin" from the movie "Thaalavattam". It's certainly a song to remember for a long time. Here is my attempt to sing this song:

vathil pazhuthilooden...

I present yet another beautiful melody of yesteryears composed by one of the most respected musicians in the malayalam film industry - V.Dakshinamoorthy Sir. The song is "Vaathil Pazhuthilooden Munnil" from the malayalam movie "Idanaazhiyil Oru Kalocha". I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it.
