Finally, a song from Illayaraja in Tamil. Growing up listening to ARR, I never really listened to much of Raja until just 2 or 3 years ago. And even then, it was passive listening. Very recently, after experiencing 'Illaya Nila' from the movie 'Payanangal Mudivadhillai', I can see why people refer to him as
God. I think for the very first time after 'Mandram Vantha' from 'Mouna Raagam', his music truly touched me.
Kuzhaloodhum Kannanukku was made into the Hindi version of 'Baatein Hawa Hain Saare' in 'Cheeni Kum' sung by Shreya Ghoshal. After listening to the Tamil version, I like it much better than the Hindi.
