P.Susheela's songs during 80's (A Quick glance)


It is a well-known fact that P. Susheela was at the peak of her career until the 80’s in the South Indian film industry. In this article, let’s have a look at how her career fared during this time period (1980-1989).

In Tamil film industry, P.Susheela didn’t have any stiff competition and was the numero uno until the mid-70’s when Vani Jayaram entered the field. The interesting fact is that VJ was introduced by the music director M.S. Viswanathan who was partly instrumental in PS’s successful domination in the industry. So Vani proved to be the first singer whom PS competed with during this time period. VJ getting a national award for the song “Yezhu Swarangal” from Apoorva Ragangal made a huge difference with her singing most of the songs for MSV and Shankar Ganesh and was on an equal footing along with PS. Until then S. Janaki who was singing fewer songs compared to PS and VJ started to grow with the release of the movie “Annakili” and with the introduction of Illayaraja. So, by the end of the 1970’s and beginning of eighties, PS, VJ, SJ, and L.R. Eswari  had the major share of songs while many upcoming singers like Jency, Sasirekha, Uma Ramanan, S.P. Sailaja etc also had their share of successes.

During the eighties, movies were produced on a huge scale with the films averaging more than 150 a year sometimes. So there was ample opportunity for all singers and music directors to contribute. There were low budget movie makers like Rama Narayan who could make a movie on low budget and recover the amount within 15 days of the movie run. This trend continued for some time during the eighties.

In the Kannada film industry, Vani Jayaram and S. Janaki took the leading spots, but the industry produced less films compared to other regions and dubbing films couldn’t be released here.

Malayalam Film industry also had Vani and Janaki in the lead until  Chitra was introduced. Then opportunity was lost for all the singers with Chitra retaining the first spot from the mid-eighties.

In Tamil Illayaraja had S. Janaki has his leading singer while VJ sang for MSV and Shankar Ganesh. However from early to mid-80’s SJ took the lead and had larger hits than any other singer. Having said that, PS  carved a niche for herself in the Tamil film industry.  Our database has found more than 1000 numbers by PS during this period. 1980 -111 songs, 1981 – 90 songs , 1982 - 83 songs - 1983 - 80 songs, 1984- 105 songs, 1985 – 100 songs, 1986 – 110 songs, 1987- 145 songs, 1988 -116 songs, 1989 -79  songs a total of 1019 songs in Tamil  ,It could be       assumed that the figure might go upto a 1200 if dubbing unlisted movies,devotional songs etc  are consideredEven though she was not heard frequentlystill she was singing for a few selected banners like Sathya,AVMMuktaS.A.Cetc and for directors K.Balachander etcFor Illyaraja, PS has rendered 325 songs (192 in Tamil  and the rest in telugu)( proof ) and  majority of these songs belong to the 80'sShe was also heard in a lot of devotional movies for actresses like K.R.Vijaya,Sujatha, sudha chandran  etc .

However in telugu film industry PS was ruling the roost until the Late 80'sShe was the chosen singer for MD Chakravarthi who was the leading MD during these timesShe was made to sing for all the characters be it heroine or vamp by MD'sOther singers like SJ,VJ who were leading in other film industries were  heard less hereRecords indicate that PS sang more than 3300 songs during this period1980 – 505 songs.  1981  275 songs, 1982  400 songs , 1983 - 360 songs, 1984 - 345, 1985 - 275 Songs, 1986 - 400 songs, 1987 - 315 songs, 1988 - 341, 1989 - 150 Songs.    It might reach upto 3500 if  private songsdevotional songsdubbing filmsetc are included.

Even though the Kings reduced the chances of PS, it was Chakravarthi who contributed to PS’s growth and success in the industry. It is estimated that PS could have sung about 2000 songs for him (whose career spanned 3 decades with approximately 800 films to his credit). Other MD’s who also gave PS  her share of songs include MD’s like Satyam, KVM,,J.V.Raghavulu,Rajan Nagendra,Raj-Koti , Ramesh Naidu,Vasu Rao, Bappi Lahiri etc. She was the prominent singer for many lead banners like Suresh Productions, Taraka Prabhu films, Padmalaya etc.

She also received 2 national awards , one in 1982 and another in 1983 and  also won state awards (Nandiin 1981,1982,1984,1987,1989     during this timeEven though there were some mischief mongers who tried to stop MD's from giving her chancesPS  continued to forge ahead  through this tough time through God's grace and with help from some impartial persons who believed in her talent  and dedication  rather than politics. The telugu film industry was instrumental in PS's success with her having hits in all genres  be it classic, duet, masala etc during this period.

She sang most songs for the heroines of the 80's with Jayapradha topping the list with 500songs (including dubbing films for her), rest being jayasudha( 500+songs), Sridevi(400  songs), Radha(300)Radhika(200songsetcThis is because telugu films had more duets than any other industry.

Among MD's Chakravarthi gave her the major share of songsKVM had signed PS to sing for the super hit movie "Shankarabharanam",  but due to some unknown reasons other singer was chosen instead of her.  What a loss for her fansBut after that KVM did manage to make PS sing in almost all his films in telugu.It is believed that she could have rendered about 2000songs for KVM (all lanuages).  For MD satyam she has sung around 800songs(all languages).

Our database has 179 songs on Malayalam and 231 songs in kannada of PS in the 80’s. Like Singhasan under the MD bappi lahari, she has sung few hindi movies like Sanjog. Kaam kala dhandav , Mohhabat ka paigham. Sanjog and kondura.

She has also rendered devotional albums in south indaian languages and Sanskrit too. All the songs sung by her in 80’s could reach upto 5000. It is not known any other female singer could have achieved this feat during this period of time. We will have to wait for  proofs and statistics.

Veena Songs of P.Susheela




Veena   is one among many instruments which represents   the system of Indian music. Several instruments like violin , guitar, sitar etc  have evolved in response to cultural changes in the country. However, the use of veena  has been recorded  since 1500 B.C.   Our ancestors  have attributed  religious  associations  to the divine instrument  so that the future generations  understand  the importance  and encourage the  divine music that flows through it . A few examples:  The patron Hindu Goddess of learning and the arts, Saraswati, is often depicted seated upon a swan playing a veena. The great Hindu sage Narada was known as a veena maestro. Ravana, the antagonist of the Ramayana, who is also a great scholar, a capable ruler and a devoted follower of Shiva, was also a versatile veena player.

    We are going to discuss about the use of veena in film music especially south indian films and P.susheela’s contribution as  a singer to veena based songs.. While Veena  is  used  mostly in south,   it’s extended form sitar  (influenced by Veena)  is used in the North.

Whenever a Veena is played , the immediate thought that arises  is “How pure and serene it is ”, “How divine it is ”, “How pleasing”. The sound  vibrations and tone   from it bring out  the deepest  intense  feelings  of one’s soul  , be it joy, sorrow , peace, longing etc   than any other  instrument  .  So ,the  songs  which are veena based  mostly reflect varied emotions in humans . Other instruments doesn’t produce that lingering  and strong effect in the minds of people.  When combined with  vocal support, they  are used in film situations  where one  needs  to bring out  that fervor of that character   be it like a devotional number , or longing , craving , expressing sorrow , joy    from the depth of the heart.

 We can draw parallels from  sounds emanating from  Veena and PS  Voice.    Unlike other instruments, the   waves emanating from the Veena , reverberate  for quite some time  even when we stop playing  it. PS’s voice also has this same quality. One can experience this Déjà vu  kind of feeling after hearing to these numbers.  In some cases the voice and veena vibrations  blend so harmoniously that one ends up wondering is PS veena itself? Or vice versa?.  , The effect is scintillating! 

Let’s take a few examples  depicting different moods and scenarios  using  our  great pair ( PS, and veena):
1) Madhilo veenalo mroge –(aatmeeyulu(Rajeswara Rao) :  Bhavam for this song is passion…. Heroine  has such strong feelings for  the hero that she compares the veena vibrations  that are vibrating to that of her desire for him.  When the song begins  with a humming by PS, one  feel s like   the instrument  is producing that  effect  (humming)!   When the  song moves on we are totally swayed by the continous mix and match of instrument and  the voice . Are they competing with each other or blending or sharing or  what is happening ?to be simple!    The final effect is  one is  mesmerized and  get’s involved………

2)  Padamani nan(Dr.Chakravarthi : this is a very difficult situation in the movie.  (S.Rajeswara Rao)
The scenario is where the sister has to convey both her joy and sorrow (mixed state of feelings) to her brother and family. Her joy is that she has lived such a beautiful life with an adorable brother, has been blessed with peace and harmony. Her sorrow is  that her stay is short on earth and so has to leave soon…. The balance (vocal + instrument ) has to be perfect otherwise the essence of it cannot be conveyed to the viewers!  When we hear to this number, it is like we are transported to a queer state of joy and sorrow alternating together resulting in an even mixture of pain and sorrow! 50-50! One of the finest songs!

3) Paadithe silalaina karagali : (Gorintaaku, KVM) :  A pathetic scene where an about to be  groom gets killed and so marriage is cancelled. The girl is in a state of vacuum. The song has to come right  !. If the emotion is too less or too intense,  the effect could be  disastrous! .  Again, PS+ veena combination creates  magic  thereby setting a perfect melancholy stage for the audience!

Like this, the list  is endless…. consider the feeling of nature in madhilo virise theeyani ragam from rendukutumbala katha or  a feeling of remorse or guilt like in “Ye ragamani paadanu” in jeeva theeralu or one of the finest pathos   Yemani paadethano from bharya bharthalu! Simply superb!

Be it any  genre  or rasa  , all PS  based veena numbers  are  a complete blend of harmony ,melody  and peace. Total treat for the ears!!

Same Tune in Hindi and southern languages

Hindi tunes in South Indian Films or vice versa
  Music can be regarded as a universal entity, because a listener may not speak or know a particular language of a song, but can  certainly understand the  emotion  and feeling behind the number and relate the same  once the tune is catchy . Many Music directors in India have tried to create that oneness by adopting catchy or popular tunes of their  contemporary MD’s from different languages and using it in one of their own films.
While Hindi tunes have been widely popular in the country and many regional music directors have tried to re-use them in their films, the same is true on the opposite side too. Sometimes similar tunes could be used in films which were made simultaneously in many languages or when a film is dubbed into other language, the original tune would be used for the song thereby proving that music has no barriers in terms of region, language, creed etc. We are going to see some examples of it in this article.
 The main focus is on songs rendered by Smt.P.Susheela in a regional(mainly south indian languages like tamil, telugu, kannada and Malayalam) or hindi film based on similar tunes taken from any of these languages.An attempt has been made on this topic, but suggestions, feedback and any new information is sincerely appreciated.
