Siri siri Poola

Song : Siri siri Poola
Movie Name :Gandeevam
Singer : SPB & Chitra
Music Director : M.M.Keeravani

A melodious composition by Keeravani garu. The situation for this song is aptly reflected in the alapana by SPB. ANR is worried by three different persons' claims as inheritors to his property. Taking Nagesh's suggestion, he starts off on the childhood song, which he hopes his true offspring would continue. The song pauses at the right places for the mood of the situation. The voice modulations by SPB, the part where Chitra joins, and the part where Keervani chips in are just right! The song caught my attention initially for the humour generated by the part where Brahmanandam starts singing , but I have lot more respect for Keeravani garu when I listen to this song today.

Veena Venuvaina

Song : Veena Venuvaina
Movie Name :Intinti Ramayanam
Singer : SPB & P Suseela
Music Director : Rajan Nagendra

Raagam : Hindolam
This song has the signature of Rajan-Nagendra all over it! In their time, the duo of Rajan-Nagendra probably gave a stiff competition to even RD Burman in having haunting numbers. I have had this song at the back of my mind ever since I heard it in my childhood days for the sheer melody in it. When I heard it today, the veena notes in the prelude, and the effective use of strings as chords just enhanced the effect of this song. I guess this is a perfect example of a song where the chords leave a memorable impact on the listener.
