Malarnthum Malaratha(Pasamalar) - Cover By NVK and Meena
Malarnthum Malaratha(Pasama... Lyrics & Chords
One of the most melodious songs in Tamil which really gives most of the old timers wonderful nostalgic memories…This number from the movie “Pasamalar” had lyrics written by the legendary lyricist Kannadasan, composed by Viswanathan-Ramamurthi and sung by T M Sounderarajan and P Susheela…
Thanks to Meena, a wonderful singer, for proposing to sing this with her and also for singing the female portion so nicely……This is the first ever cover of TMS done by me … I have not tried to copy his style at all as it is impossible for me to do so….
Please listen and let us have your honest feedback on our singing…

Wow Wow!! First of all congrats to both of you. It was not a good job, it was a FANTASTIC job!!
Meena – Welcome. Your voice is very sweet, very touching, and you know, you have that lullaby EFFECT in yr voice……You even sounded very similar to Susheelamma
Dear NVK – I am so happy to hear your style. Believe me, I enjoyed this absolutely in your voice.
“aaalu pirandhaayada…” was the only place I found a incy wincy pitch probs……but that doesnt matter, overall “ADIPOLI”. I heard this song with headphone and this song was rocking me….Such was the impact!!
SING, SING AND SING…………………5/5 and I am taking this to my favs…….

NVK Ji and Meena,
Nice nostalgic song. Great singing. Enjoyed it.
Maybe you want to reduce the B/g a little bit, because the bass is kind of pounding :-)
Cheers

Very nice NVK….nicely sung and nice to hear this song in your voice. Sounded like PB Sreenivas singing this song. I think you will do very well in PBS songs … if you have not tried so far you must. Your voice will suit his songs very much.
Meena….nicely sung too. Keep it up. Last charanam slight pitching issue especially in “Valarndha Kadhai Solluvaar”. If your diction is tighter a bit will sound better too.
Nice one by both of you!.

I am not familiar with this song ….but sounds like a very melodious and equally difficult song…loved the expressive rendition. This composition really tests the breath control ….you both did a great job.
Just about the mix ….NVK sir your voice is not balanced properly with Meenas voice ….something to consider for future projects.
Liked it a lot ….5/5 from me.

What a song to cover !?!
NVK —your tone suits this song quite well. Some struggle there in the higher registers but however that being said, very refined rendition!
Meena—Difficult to cover given the range of emotions it needs and the actual range of the song :) Very commendable job. Vilai pesuvar @ 3.03/04—very nicely done.

Good song selection and executed well by both of you. Meena resembles original Suseelamma. NVK sir, it was great that you didn’t try to comy TMS. Was the BGM level slightly more??
Thanks to both for such a lovely lullaby.
Ramya Harish said
Heartening to see cover version of such gems. Great choice Meena.
NVK, Loved your voice in this. Refreshing it was. As Arvind pointed, you should try PBS songs.
Meena, your voice suits the song so well. Nice one. Keep singing such great numbers.
Cheers:)

Very good rendition by you both.
NVK, your voice throw was very good.

My Dear NVK & Meena,
You both brought back a lot of sweet old nostalgic memories. All music lovers would surely welcome such songs with open heart.
Meena, a little bit off-pitch in some places, which does’nt count much.
Overall, nice work ! Congratulations !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,

Meena and NVK : Take a bow for the choice of song.
There is no song in Tamil which can boast of superior lyrical and compositional beauty than malarndhum malaraadha. The genius of MSV-TKR-Kannadhasan combo brings tears in the eyes of listeners.
I particularly liked NVK’s beautiful tone to TMS. TMS over-emotive and relatively harsh voice was never my choice. I would have ideally liked PBS in it NVK’s voice gave me that feeling.
Meena : this song is too high pitched for you. there are some minor pitching issues (example : vaLarththa kadhai sollavaa ), and since this is a song which is a confluence of three geniuses, may I urge you to be a little more attentive to those minor mistakes in your future renditions of the same song ?
Meena S said
I am glad that u all liked it :).
@Vivek: Would certainly sing more of these kind of songs.Done!!!
@Murali :Sure murali…Would take the best care in my future renditions.

Ganesh Srinivasan said
Very beautiful rendition and superb song selection.For me NVK sir’s voice sounded a bit like singer AL Raghavan’s in some places and PBS’ in few areas. Meena’s singing was quite good especially in the stanza. The reverb was a touch more in the k-track especially with the bass.
Overall sounded very good.
Cheers,
Ganesh

Divine beauty in this rendition. Simply beautiful.
Both of you were brilliant. Meena, not one flase step.
But NVK Sir, where from did you dig out this TMS voice? I had mentally categorized you in the Yesudas / Mohammad Rafi voice bracket. But this was something else. That little nasal touch here and there was just superb.
Am listening to this song after ages. Realize what a timeless composition it is.
Thank you, Meena and NVK Sir.

Bala (composer/producer) said
Hello NVK sir,
I am very new to this community. Before listening to this song, I read your “about me” and was expecting a matured voice, something like 1970s TMS.
But, I found it really hard to correlate your voice with your picture. In this song you sound very very young like someone in mid 30s! Great!!
