What they say…
Producer K.R. Kannan: I have produced nine films, including Kalyana Kalam , Nanayam Illa Nanayam , Avan and Kalar Kanavugal , and now Pongadi Neengalum Unga Kadhalum. Director Ramakrishnan has done a good job.
Director and hero M.V. Ramakrishnan: I started out as an assistant to director K. Balachander and later worked with director Cheran. I wanted to become a director, but changed my mind when S.P. Charan asked me to play the lead in Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puravum. I followed it up with Gorippalayam . As a director, I’ve conveyed a message through Pongadi… , but in an entertaining manner.
Music director Kannan: I am a guitarist. I have composed more than 600 jingles and the title songs for various TV programmes. My first film as music director was Thamizh Padam , which went on to become a huge hit. Then I did Mai,Mayanginaen Thayanginaen and now Pongadi… . I have three more in the pipeline — Irandavadhu Padam , Thilagar , and A.M. Nandakumar’s directorial venture.
Music highlights: There are five numbers in the album. ‘Vaa Maa Vaa Maa’ sung by MLR. Karthikeyan and Srilekha Parthasarathy, is a high-on-energy number. ‘Ye Kaadhale Kaadhale,’ sung by Thanjai Selvi, stands out for its lyrics. The director joins Gana Bala to render ‘Oru Ponnu.’ ‘Chuda Chuda,’ sung by Haricharan and Elizabeth Malini, is fast-paced. ‘Tharu Maara,’ sung by Mukesh, wraps up the album well.
