Oh man..just taking back me to my teen ages - and amazing is it sounds great till today. As sagittarian82 said this song is still relevant and sounds great than today's crap music. We are lucky guys....

[TheMartianvisitor]

Raja for Life.

So is this song about pretty ladies?!?

[rathnaji]

fusion music? Illayaraaja sir has said and done all of it decades ago!! Amazing!!

[sagittarian82]

It has been 30 years since this song was released. Are you kidding me? Sounds more modern than anything released this year and will continue to be. Genius unparalleled anywhere in the world.

[saimurugesh]

ya really what are going back when we hear this kind of ilayaraaja sir songs.. hats off

[vinodh9148]

i m bowing my head to raja sir ...un doubtedly......who can do this type of compostions....hatss off raja sir..

[ugar2k]

all time hit today youngster what good music is.it takes away to our early days.

[cangiri1982]

Its not TVG...SPB in one of the jaya tv musical program mentioned that humming was done by a hindustani expert from North.

[neeteshananth]

Brilliance of Iiiayaraja !!

[varsshini]

ma most favourite!!!!!!!!!love it

[rdhinakar]

TVG humming is in keeravani

[Prasanth205]

this sng sung by S. janaki..the other one 4rm tis movie sung by latha rajnikanth..

anyways preety n funky sng...

[rdhinakar]

TVG's humming is in kiravani. Raja has changed the tune but same raga in pala macham ulla in chinna vedu TVG humming.

[petersteelenator]

Hats off to illayaraja sir I hail from kerala...i dont know how to shower respect and prayers for him...The legend knows what he is doing...Of all the while no padmashree for raja sirr...It's sheer pity....

[deepthistar87]

Very weird song

[TechCrazy]

I come back to this song again.. LOL

I was driving the other day and humming the TVG part again and again and i suddenly noticed something. Even though Raaja sir wants you to think he is introducing a streak of indian classical there, but if you listen to it deeply you will notice that they are all western notes. Yup, TVG is humming all western notes (full notes) but the fact that TVG is singing it fools you.You can play that part in a keyboard and not miss a note ! :)

Pure magic i say !

[ideaflashed]

@TechCrazy

Kindly post the notes of TVG humming. Awesome.

[TechCrazy]

@ideaflashed : I will have to carefully play and write it one note at a time before i miss it. :) Raaja's songs are easy to listen but very very very hard to reproduce....

[dreamcatcher707]

Wat a song!...even though I do not understand Tamil, this is one funky number which I love listening always, Illayaraja...what can be said about this undisputed maestro...every song is a masterpiece!!

[438516]

who is the lady sleeping on the bed in the beginning of the song...

[24863710]

@438516 it is Swapna malayali figure

[murugesanarun]

I was very depressed then I searched for some illayaraja songs, I ended up listening some of the old songs..I literally cried after listening his songs.... Hats to him..

[rathnaji]

@murugesanarun - Basically, IR's music has brought out what you had been trying to supress within you, which otherwise would have piled up more and more within your heart and lead to insane thoughts. I can fully empathize, because I have experienced the same, not too long ago.

[neeteshananth]

Tik, Tik, Tik.... My heart beats for Isaignani !!!!

[TechCrazy]

I am coming back to this song after a few years.. Man it tugs you. Listen how funky the song is. Its almost like the guitars are drunk and having a lot of fun. Mix in indian humming in the interludes. Its almost chaos in the interludes, every form of music competing to be noticed and then the song starts and then melody reigns supreme giving it a floating feeling and this process repeats. Bass lines being the security guard here who is keeping everything under control.

[TechCrazy]

Ilayaraja is beyond genius. He is once in ages happenstance. It brings chills to think that i grew up with his music just as he was bringing out various colors of his music. I am truly blessed.

[gregorym2008]

@TechCrazy superb summarization of the composition..

[sudhakch]

What a song .... Whata Lyricss.......Amazingly Superb !! Only One person in this world can do these wonders in composition, and Keep it evergreen for all generations - THE ONE & ONLY ILLLAYARAJA - The GOd of Music

[neeteshananth]

Iiayaraja is undoubtedly a legend !!!

[ssiva147]

This song was sung by janaki .... "nethu intha neram" song in the same movie tik tik tik was sung by latha rajini.

[adashi101]

Madhavi has exposed more in bathing suit than Nayanthara did in Billa.

[orange143jayam]

hey pls tell me who sang this song....it s latha or janaki?

[kingcheran123]

this song is sung by latha rajinikanth!!!!!

[sharathmorin]

hw beautiful sheee is , kamal , cinematography ..aawsome ...i m not goin to praise raaajaa any more...

[siddarththeenigma]

the film was directed by bharathiraja and the singer is none other than Janaki madam..

[doctorsriram]

who sang this song

[ur1234562001]

Beautiful,sensual,glamor ... except the the hip massage .. very energising song..

[Rockerstohell]

S.P.Muthuraman instructed his cameraman to shown glamorously the girls who feature in this song.. rocking song

[TheFarmSchool]

damn! Chennai in the 80's....miss it.......

[gunneswar]

IR is the most underrated composer ever in the world's music history. This is true. Because his compositions were targeted only to native speakers of Tamil, Telugu and other South Indian languages for the most part of his career.

[TheFarmSchool]

Raja's songs will be understood after 2080 like most revelations...

[TechCrazy]

You nailed it. It will be a reference for all musicians going forward.

[kamatchipandian]

@gunneswar you bastard. How dare to comment about our GOD OF MUSIC. 

[shaun19475]

I am a big fan of Raja myself and personally feel that Raja's music is the best. To me, he is India's Bach and hasn't got the recognition he deserves. However, Rahman is definitely not over-rated. Anyway, why do we need to bring Rahman into a discussion on Raja's songs?

[shaun19475]

"honestly, does anybody really feel "Jai ho" is any better in comparison to these masterpieces? well O.R rehman has all the exposure. O R as in over rated !"

well these masterpieces were not released in 2008 and were not for English movies. I do feel that "Jai Ho" was still not the best but it was one of 3 songs nominated for the Oscars and won it because the jury liked it.

O.R. Rehman eh? Well, to each his own. Majority think he is good and that is what matters.

[KEN15111]

I love inbetween 3:05 and 3:30 ... madhuri is sexy ....

[redchilli450]

honestly, does anybody really feel "Jai ho" is any better in comparison to these masterpieces? well O.R rehman has all the exposure. O R as in over rated !

[knewace]

Classic song.

[virginharry]

Simply unbelievable! This is so funky ! Just listen to the wonderful basslines. I am deeply impressed. I am new to Ilayaraja's music. Can someone recommend any of his retro funk compositions of such kinds plz? Thanks !

[TechCrazy]

Harry not sure if someone has responded to you. If not just send me a message and i can help you out.

[ArvindIyengar]

Ilaiyaraja's brilliant. Whenever chennaiites, currently at 30 yrs of age, look back at life as a set of associations, Ilaiyaraja would always be on the top 5.

[magneticscorpiogirl]

@ArvindIyengar

You are very right. Ilayaraja is a part and parcel of many peoples' lives. He is sure to be in the Top 5 of many people. He is beyond awards. Fans of Ilayaraja can create an award in honour of him. That would be the best thing for such a grrrrrrrreat genius.

[TheRamas4]

@ArvindIyengar Right. Can't take him out. if you want to, then you have to take music out of your life.

[ArvindIyengar]

@TheRamas4 So true..

[ArvindIyengar]

Thanks Techcrazy for that trivia. Yep TVG was really a phenomenon.

[Agni8783]

wonderful song

[balls055]

ahem...its not the same girl who jumps into the pool..its 3 different babes bro =D

[vignesh2891]

3:30 -- It funny how she jumps into the pool... wrong EVERY time.

[TechCrazy]

LOL !

[TechCrazy]

TV Gopalakrishnan humming in the song is awesome. Raaja's early attempt to fuse classical with western orchestration and its such a treat because all this happens in the middle of a such a melodious song.
