Old is Gold:Malarnthum Malaraatha- with Sukumar Rajendran
Old is Gold:Malarnthum Mala... Lyrics & Chords
This song sequence is perhaps the most loved of all pathos numbers from yesteryears’ Tamil cinema……
The absolutely amazing expressions by Sivaji and Savithri, the mindblowing lyrics, the unforgettable tune by MSV-TKR, the sweet woe-filled voices of TMS an Susheela made it the perfect mix to elevate the song to immortality.
Sukumar and I have tried our best to do justice to this song. Sugi has done a stupendous job again, in my opinion! He has the perfect voice for TMS songs which so easily handles those intricate brigaas.
Please let us have your comments and suggestions. Thanks for listening :)
Movie: Paasamalar
Music: M.S.Viswanathan- Ramamoorthy
Originally sung by- T.M.Soundararajan, P.Susheela
Mixing :Sukumar

dear adithi and suku,
first a hearty hug to both of you…for selecting this song…some songs have the power to transport you to nostalgic past…this is one such song…good sincere attempt…you both can bring forth more melodies like this in future…suku…along with your expressions have an eyeon sruthi also…adithi …control your open throatedness and use it only when needed…you can be more subtle and soft when singing this kind of songs…but your expressions (sobbing)was superb…sing more suseela numbers…you will get that art soon…lovely rendering…keep it up…sing more and more…loving kanna mama and uma….

Very well done guys!
What a composition! This is one of the few songs that make my eyes moist just by the melody (tune)…. very haunting. Adhiti, you certainly made that happen in this cover version by your beautiful singing… hats off!
Sukumar, you sing extremely tough parts so beautifully and contaminate easy parts with off-notes! Edhaavathu venduthala…… Overall a nice job….

One of my favourite song and i used to hum this song to make my nephew sleep ….so a close song to me
Adhiti….very well done…especially the feel the song could make had been done perfectly. To be specific maman thangai magalana….was tooo good. And i find u’ve improved in ’ra’in arrariro :-). Keep up the good work.
Sukumar,
Your voice is nice and no slippage anywhere. But one comment from my side on the words pronunciation….its hard at times where it need not be. Hope u get me. Just take care of it. Otherwise a good feel. Keep it up.

Adithi said
