loved it more because of the Pallakkad chozhai.. 
). evergreen..and never tire of listening to it.
there is a particular thrill, when we watch on the silver screen, love scenes between real life husband wife. i still remember the thrill, when, along with mrs k, we watched, 'eyes wide shut', with tom cruise, nicole kidman.
they were very much in love then, and married still. one of the first scenes, the couple getting ready to attend a party - and nicole going through among the most privates of rituals, in front of her husband, which only a husband wife intimacy can provide. so natural, and so naturally filmed. not obscene but lovingly erotic.
we have had in kollywood our love couples, the oldest and to me, the most sentimental, gemini ganesh and savitri. it was around 1961, when paasa malar was released, and over a neighbour's radio, i hear mayilvahanam of radio ceylon, announcing their wedding. at the same time, my mother, wondering about what would happen to bobji, his official wife till then, and their brood of daughters!
together they would act in scores of movies, with sivaji playing savi's brother in a few of the paa hits of bhim singh.
paadha kanikkai was never a hit movie, but it had two hit songs - the ever haunting, veedu varai uravu - a must for any skeptic, and this lovely lovly love song - reinforcing our commitment to the maman or athai magan...after 40+ years.. still tender.
this video starts after the first stanza, but i would rather present an imperfect video than a full song, which can be easily googled.
savitri, has always been of heavy hips and oval face, with a tongue still stuck to the underthroat - but these imperfections pale when compared to her wholesome charm. sambaar saadham is just that - loveable staple. can go without for a couple of days. but like thayir saadham, we run back, to our comfort food.
