(அழகே உன்னை ஆராதிக்கிறேன், 1979 )

A beauty from the beauty-worship movie. I had the misfortune of watching this on youtube sometime back Strongly recommended NOT to try! (Such a soft, melodious song is torn apart on screen by a bell-bottom-step-cutting-guy's wild dappAnguththu dance on beach). As in the case of IO, Sridhar had a few VJ numbers and she was in her usual loud (well, kinda) mode in this one (unlike orE nAL which was far more subdued). However, she made amends with the absolutely stunning nAnE nAnA All-in-all, her TFM singing career can be summarized as the female equivalent of Seerkazhi G

SPB maintains his boyish singing through out. Though the tune appears simple, it's literally "breath-taking" when one tries to sing in the bath room. Nice, flowing (rather running) melody accompanied by all kinds of IR-fav instruments (violin, guitar, either veeNai itself of guitar sounding like veeNai, one of organ / harmonium / accordian...) Typical 70's style tablA rhythm which wasn't a big differentiator for IR (means sounding like every other MD of that time period including MSV).

I'd say an evergreen category song! (And was a big hit with radio)
