I think Dil Gira Dafatan's first interlude has it for few seconds... Another very beautiful & rare instrument I heard in this album is Duduk... which comes at 00:08 in Thok De Killli... amazing instrument... listen to the Yanni's Love Is All from his Tribute concert & you'll know the hypnotic power of the Duduk...

The Erhu is this two-string chinese instrument, played like a violin. I have loved the sound right from when I heard it in Golden Era (Warriors of Heaven and Earth) ...and just 3 months ago I got a Erhu concerto CD and have been addicted to the sound of that instrument. So I was so ecstatic when I heard it used in the BGM of Female Aaromale during the scene right before Manipaaya starts. And again was extremely happy to hear it being used in Killi Re from 3:11-3:21. Its just so subtle yet beautiful... only ARR the wizard is brilliant enough to add these pinch of exotic instruments to create magic with each tune. If anybody knows other pieces in which this instrument has been used, do let me know! And i hope ARR Sir continues using it even more in the future :-)
