"Naalai Unathu Naal" is a thriller with Vijaykant and Nalini in the
lead. It is one of those movies that comes under the thriller trend
that was started by the runaway success of "Nooravathu Naal". I have
not seen the film but if I remember correclty what I heard at that
time, the story is about a group of people who end up on an island as
castaways following a shipwreck. One by one they get killed
mysteriously and finally Vijaykant probably solves the mystery. Please
correct me if I got the story wrong.
"alai alaiyAi" is a lively composition by Ilaiyaraja. Uma Ramanan is so
young and happy. The innocence in her voice always enhances the
feel of her songs. "lala lala" bits in the charanam are so cute.
"kUdu thEdi alaiyum", "veNNilA Oduthu kaNNilE Aduthu" are also from
"Naalai Unathu Naal".
