indru vandha sondhamaa
idaiyil vandha bandhamaa

Movie: Chithrangi
Music: Veda

Chitrangi (1964/ Modern Theatres) was directed by R.S.Mani.

AVM Rajan played the exiled prince Jayaveeran and Pushpalatha played the forest nymph Chitrangi who saves his life. Sheela played Malarvizhi, the third corner of the love triangle.

Veda had tuned some unforgrettable songs for this forgotten film.

pick of the lot is the melancholy-laced 'nenjinilE ninaivu mugam' by TMS, PS and Jamunarani. (Lyrics by Ku.Ma.Ba). A song that was often heard on the radio even in the late 70s.

And many would surely remember the poignant PS solo, also written by Ku.Ma.Ba.- 'vElOdu viLaadum murugaiya, en vaazhvOdum viLayaada vandhanaya'.

The rollicking 'anna nadai cinna idai eppadi'(Vaali) showcases Jamunarani in her merry elements, while 'rojappoo kannathilE thEnpaayum' (also Vaali) is a dreamy romantic Jamunarani solo. Other songs Were 'adi unakku oNNU enakku oNNu' (TL & Ratnamala/ Vaali) and 'oyyaari bama, unakkaga mama' (Ponnusami & Ratnamala/ Vaali).
