[Neel D]

Pick #544

Song: Or Ayiram pourNami
Film: En Raththaththin Raththame
Music: Laxmikant-Pyarelal
Singers: S.Janaki, S.P.Balasubramanyam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1989

I did not realize until two days ago that this was the song that Meera requested a year ago. Had it all along but never knew the film name or the tune of the Hindi original (duh!). But, I had stopped following K.Bhagyaraj around this time... late 80s. He had just completed his transformation from the average guy into a gaudy hero and a vulgar writer. Anyway, today's pick is a lovely song. Not sure who did the music for the Tamil remake of Mr.India. Crediting Laxmikant-Pyarelal, composers of the original song in Hindi. SJ and SPB do a great job. If you compare the Hindi and Tamil voices, SJ emerges a clear winner.

This song is a nEyar(Meera) viruppam.
