SwaraRaagaGanga presents a beautiful melody for you from the movie Aayiram Janmangal (1976). Song: Mullamala Choodi Vanna Singer: Praseetha Varma Audio mixing and mastering: Deepak Varma Video editing: Harikrishnan Sanjayan Description by: Sajith Bhaskaran There are five songs in this movie written by P Bhaskaran and set to music by MS. Viswanathan. The song ‘Mullamaala choodi vanna’ rendered by Vani Jayaram is probably the most popular one. It is to be noted that the move 'Aayiram Janmangal’ is the remake of the 1974 Tamil film, ‘Dheergha sumangali’ directed by AC. Trilokchander with Muthuraman and KR Vijaya in the lead roles. In the Tamil movie, the song “Malligai En Mannan Mayangum” written by Vali, set to music by MS Viswanathan and rendered by Vani Jayaram appears in the same context. This Tamil song is Vani Jayaram's first popular song with MS Viswanathan. The story goes that, In 1973, when Vani was performing at a Bhajan Sammelan, M.S. Viswanathan was the chief guest. He was greatly impressed, and a year later the chance to sing his ever-famous composition, ‘Malligai En Mannan’ came her way. It is interesting to note the similarities between the Tamil and Malayalam songs. Context of the song ‘Mullamaala choodi vanna vellimeghame’: - Madhavan Nair and Lakshmi are ideal couples. She is caring and virtuous while Madhavan Nair is an equally loving and faithful husband. They have two sons and a daughter. Laxmi belonged to a disturbed home with a habitual gambling father, a scheming stepmother and a lazy brother. One day the father, step mother and brother visited Laxmi. They declared that they are going to stay for a few days and occupied the bed room of Madhavan Nair and Lakshmi. The young couple, left with no other alternative, decided to temporarily make their bed in the terrace. Though Madhavan Nair initially got irritated, he prepared to accept what Lakshmi proposed. Lakshmi realised that her husband is annoyed. How can she close her eyes when her husband is feeling disturbed? The night is cool and refreshing...
