"poo maalaiyE thOL sEra vaa"

Ok, Murali was there.(thakkaLi pazhathula thAr oothinA maadhiri...). Nevertheless, pretty evocative picturisation.

(and what a song!)

Maddy,

Just that jadhi part. Not the whole I think

Lot of interesting choices.

I'd be damned if someone comes up with "Mayya Mayya"(Guru).

The lyrics remain incomprehensible till date.
Some snatches I understand seem interesting. Any help ?

What PR, you also like me started transliterating in mixed mode?

Agni Natchathram didn't just happen to be loudly lit, it was pretty much the central to the overall stylization. It is difficult to like the movie much without liking that.

Dont remember perfectly but PAP was good too.
Theeram ThEdi from UNarU - natural and heartwarming. The matching flute prelude as Sabitha Anand and Lal Ettan hesitantly clasp hands(most likely composed first, and shots chosen aptly by Mani) to the Balu Mahendra-like picturisation in verdant Kerala sea shore locations. It must find a place in the poll for its uniqueness in the Manirathnam pantheon
