Thanka Thalikayil

Lovely, albeit less-known, song by Devarajan from PN Menon's Gayathri. Often overshadowed by Padmatheerthame Unaroo from same film that won Dasettan a national award.

@blissfulbuff :) thanks. glad you enjoyed it.

Is apple or orange taste better? It depends on your taste! In "Thanka Thalikayil" the poet/hero desired to go to Padma Theertham and "kadavil vannoru nullu tharan ente kai tharichu....oru pottukuthan njanaagrahchu..!!" "Padmatheertham" was profound; "Thanka thalikayil" was full of earthy passion - not obscene !! Not even lust !! Now you know why "Padma Theertham" got award and even Non-Malayalees were raving about it ! Thank you for uploading this charming song. Wish video was available !

Thanks again Mr Madhu for your wonderful comment.

why do you think this song was overshadowed by Padmatheertham?!

for me this song esp its words oozing with sensuality was always the better one!

hi

Padmatheerthame was easily the more famous song, even going on to win a national award. When I said oversahdowed, I meant in terms of popularity. And that song works on a different plane...this one is, as you said, a supreme song of sensuality.

Pulari poomukha muttathu kalathu.... You visualize the whole scene as you listen to the song! Another good one from Vayalar. Credits to him too..
