Not as big a hit as other songs of this movie but had some air-time / bus-time etc thanks to the pull of others. Raja has done 100's of such numbers in his career (comical + themmAngu melody + shenoy and associated typicals).

However, a song that has to be included here for two significant reasons : 1. First one with MV in our series (i.e. SPB hits under IR), they had a number of interesting numbers together later on as well 2. Very interesting mimicry by SPB as Suruli Rajan

MV -though in my personal preference ranking he comes many notches below SPB, definitely had a significant contribution during IR's prime period. And, in comparison to SPB, he was a "pioneer" at least on two counts in the TF context (though not so significant) - 1. His sAmanthippoo was earlier than thudikkum karangaL 2. arithAram poosal

And SuruLi, not seen him much and neither a big admirer but the mention of his name triggers at least a few things from memory. One, his villuppAttu / kathA kAlatchEbam kind of song (not by IR) that had this "மாட்டக்கறந்தா மசாலாப்பாலு" two, his not-too-irritating role in Johny & three - a movie called 'mAnthOppukkiLiyE' (not seen, only heard olichchithiram) becoming a big hit mainly because of his 'kanjan' role. In any case, that he could get a SPB-mimicried-song in a Kamal movie talks something about his clout at some point of time in TN.

The other person on screen IIRC is white color dress -brrrr- (who gets torn apart by the foreign lady) .

An interesting fun song, without a doubt.
