Polthinkal Kala (Tamil) | Sathya Siva Soundaryangal | Dr. M Balamuralikrishna | G Devarajan

Polthinkal Kala (Tamil) | Sathya Siva Soundaryangal | Dr. M Balamuralikrishna | G Devarajan | Kumara Sambhavam This is a request by a few BMK rasikAs from Kerala who told me privately about the Tamil version of Polthinkal Kala from the movie Kumara Sambhavam that was sung by BMK himself under the baton of G Devarajan. I would like to provide reminiscences of this song by my friend Rajendran Maliakal, a long time lover of muraLi gANam and Dasettan gANam. “I had heard this song once in the sonorous BMK voice, long ago, maybe in the early Seventies of the last century when I was staying away from my home working in a nationalised Bank. I have always been a diehard fan of BMK from my schooldays (the sixties) and also of KJ Yesudas fondly named as dear ‘Dasettan’. Any negative comment on the two blessed musicians used to pain me though I used to pretend that I was taking their opinions and criticisms in my stride. BMK had bitter enemies and Dasettan had very few. In my family set up itself almost all relatives hated BMK. I was the lone BMK lover in the big crowd of musicians. During my nationalised bank working days, I had a group of friends who used to meet together and discuss topics related to music in the former half of the seventies. In that group there was an even a far more fiercer fan of BMK. He was some 25 years older than me though. He spoke to us in the group about the Tamil version of the song ‘Polthinkal Kala Pottu Thotta’, which was a song in Kumarasambhavam. One day he bought a portable tape recorder and played this song in the BMK voice. He said it was available as an LP record and he copied it from somebody else. This BMK version was /is very rare. My mind entered into limitless joy because the same song came from my two dearest singers. Years passed by. I was gaining more and more listening experience. I could observe Devarajan Sangeetham, Dasettan Bani and Muraliganam. All the three greats excelled in their areas as Gandharvaas. I faintly remember having read far earlier in some periodicals about an interview with Devarajan Maashu. He said: had he not become a music director his love would have been to emulate and become another Balamuralikrishna. Unfortunately, I can’t place the name of the publication or its date because that might have been some 35 or more years ago. I now learn that BMK and Devarajan Maashu were thick friends and they admired each other. The story that was in the air during early seventies was that the film Kumarasambavam was first shot in Malayalam, then converted into Tamil and thus it became bilingual. Malayalam lyrics were ready first. ‘Polthinkal kala pottu thotta’ was in Malayalam as penned by the great poet and lyricist ONV. In one of the Chennai studios, Devarajan Maashu met BMK and told him about the song. BMK looked at the lyrics and in no time translated the same into Tamil and sang in pure Kalyani. The story might be the creation of some fanciful fans of BMK. That BMK on the spot converted the lyrics into such a terrific and heavy Tamil, though I am one of the greatest admirers of BMK, find it difficult to stomach. Abhayambhika, BMK’s long time associate and who was a great scholar in Tamil might have helped him in creating the translation. I am reminded of some Tamil versions of Thyagaraja krithis: ‘Nannu palimpa, Enthanerchina etc.’ The story goes on to say that the composing and the studio recording of the song got finished in less than a day. The Pallavi part reminds us of the Kalyani Kruti Vasudevayani by Thyagaraja Swamigal. I tend to feel that the whole structure of the composition bears more of the BMK stamp in it than that of Devarajan Maashu’s one. I may be wrong perhaps. It is a pleasure to hear it once more. Muraliganam lovers will treat this a heavenly gift for them.” Many thanks to Deepak Varma Maliakal for sharing this precious recording and lyrics and Rajendran sir for his musings.
