I am not sure whether this movie comes in the movie. Its a good melody song. Experts are there to give more comments on the song. Let me listen to them :-)

Other gems in the movie are Poo maalaiye thol serava, Vaarayo vaanmathi, maina maina.
Swathy i have got to give it to you again...you found a brilliant song once again...my goodness just how many such songs were forgotten...thanks for reminding us of such songs Swathy...:thumbsup:
Prelude: The piano and bass guitar opens up with a westerisation touch which is soothing, briefly followed by a mesmerising soft flute piece which just gives you the wind blowing on you effect. Brilliant orchestration by IR who usually revels in giving us wonderful openings that usually underplay the tune.
Interludes: The Bass guitar plays like a background instrument for the first instrument which just brings the melodic effect with the flute combining with two instruments(another guitar or keyboard?) to add weight to the bass guitars melodic touch. The instrumentation has to be commended by IR here.
Tune: The faint beating of the drums and a interesting combination of lap clapping sound(possibly done on drums)makes up the instrument of the tune with the bass guitar playing as a undertouch(it sometimes sounds like a harp)....Jayachandran's singing is just like a cool winter breeze on the ears...he just brings out the life in the tune and can just put you to bliss with his vocal touches to the tune....What makes the tune interesting is the constant plucking of the bass guitar throughout the tune and the interludes which adds the soothing melodic effect.
Overall a mini song which would have been noticed better if it was given more time...nevertheless a brilliant melody by IR once again and thanks to swathy for picking such a gem...:clap:
Fantastic song, one of my most favourite :D. I would rate this song equal to "Poo Maalaiyae Thool Seravaa"Quote:

Hulkster has given the best description with proper dissection. I would probably rate this higher than all other songs in the movie.. awesome composition.
If one listens to such songs first-up in the morning.. am sure one's day is made fresh throughout.
I recommend all to try this. I have experienced this. Today's pick is an excellent excuse to beat stress.. the Raja way.
Thanks hulks, sanjeevi and renault :-)
Serene lullaby from Raaja! Song sung by Sarath Babu to his small kid and his hurting teenage sister-Revathi to comfort them to sleep! Picturization was very nice! Fantastic movie by Mani Rathnam!
Dear Swathy,
Thanks for the response.
Poovilae - Simple orchestration!!!! Great Composition !!!
IR music il JC songs ellam enaku migavum pidikum.

Usha Sankar.
PS sings just few lines (for Radhika) .. Annai thandhai yaavume annan thanadi .. to console Revathy
all PJ-PS songs under IR's baton are GEMS
