I remember those days when there were some ppl who quickly skipped Parthale Paravasam & speecifically pointed out at Manmadha maasam & asked - what kind of bad song is this..even though i didnt really get pissed off at them, i feel really sorry for them for not being able to accept Rahman's magic . this song is a rare GEM.
