Yeah it's one of the best songs sung by ARR. We could not exactly tell whether Mani did justice to this song or not, probably becos of the movie's popularity this song is unheard of. Even now I am not sure how well to picture this song on this movie...It can be a background score.
If you all remember a song "Vinmeenkalai Thaandi" in Uyire, it's somewhat similiar in sequence to that song. --- In [email protected], <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The problem is reach of the song, that's what I want to > highlight...Instead of keeping two versions of "kannathil muthamittal" > song He could have picturised "vellai pookkal", > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Dinesh Vaidya > Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 4:00 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [arr] Re: Vellai Pookal - did Mani do justice ?
