The only fault of Khili Rey is: it is too short. And that single fault has ruined the song for almost all fans.
the point is: ARR has given many-many similar great sweet lovely songs earlier across the decades, and those songs are etched in our memories. Had KHili Rey been longer, we would have enjoyed the feeling more and then we would have dared to call it as sweet as or even sweeter than ARR's earlier such song. But when Khili Rey is so short, it leaves us unsatisfied, and we fans why bother listening to it when it is so short and will not fulfil our needs, and thus we undermine the song. Otherwise, Khili Rey is in the league of ARR's sweetest songs. It makes me sad that ARR puts so much efforts in coming up with such great music, tune and arrangement, and gives such a short song. this way, this tune gets locked in this song and ARR is not going to repeat it again and we miss a great song with such contents. Hope ARR gives a longer Khili Rey in Tamil version so at to satisfy the full appetite of his fans, even if longer song is not accomodated in the film. This way ARR gets to experiment on the different lengths of songs having different effect on its acceptability and popularity. -- Rawat
