The song ‘Vahinneduka Kattamalli’ featured in the movie ‘Viduthai’ has received a unanimous response from the people. Directed by director Vetrimaran, the film starring Suri, Vijay Sethupathi and others has teamed up with musician Ilayaraja for the first time. The film’s song “Onnoda Padha Kallana Kadu” was released earlier. This song was sung by Ananya Bhatt along with Dhanush. The song which was released with the lyrics of Suga was well received by the fans. In this case, the trailer and music release ceremony of the film took place recently.
At the music launch event, Ilayaraja, the film’s music director, sang another song from the film, “Vahinedukka Kattamalli Nei Adha Pakkaliye” on stage. Later, the lyrical video of the song was also released. Since then, puns on the Kattamalli song have been the talk of the town, including Instagram.
Another added highlight is that the composer who penned the song has sung it along with playback singer Ananya Bhatt. The song got more than 20 lakh views within three days of its release. The generation gap, the arrival of new directors, their musical understandings, the taste of the present generation, the changed musical technologies, the music world was traveling on a different plane.
In this context, the announcement of the film regarding Ilayaraja – Vetimaaran alliance raised the expectations of many. At the same time, from time to time, there were even whispers of trouble between Vetrimaran and the king. But all this is belied by the film’s trailer and songs. That too the song ‘Palhaneduka Kattamalli’ has attracted the touch screen community a lot.
This song has many special features like noiseless music, metu that gets downloaded in the storage memory after listening, simple Tamil words without mixing Tanglish. Also, the song has attracted many listeners as it is simple enough to catch on once. Likewise, the greenery of the forest and the darkness of the forest, which are shown as the story lines of the song, have united us with the song. Ilayaraja’s voice coming into the thick forest fills the listeners with indescribable joy and light weight.
The voice that expresses the desires and wishes of the working people has always had a kind of appeal. Our mind, which is tuned to listen to his music and songs, like the little owl looking at the leaves, starts going back on hearing the King’s voice. From S. Janaki to NSK Ramya, who has sung duets with Raja, Ananya Bhatt’s voice is like the gloom of a dark forest.
Also, the first duet in the voice of Isajjani for actor Suri, who plays the central role of this film. Apart from popular heroes, Ilayaraja has sung many songs for actor Janakaraji who has played such comic and character roles. Those songs are celebrated by fans till date.
In that way, many like actor Suri are still struggling to enter the dream industry of cinema. Notable among them are Appukkutty and Panku alias Antony. All of them tried for film opportunities at the same time. What is surprising is that the song has come out in the voice of the musician for these three. While the song was released in the voice of Ilayaraja in the movie ‘Azhakarswamy’s Horse’ for Appukutty and in the movie ‘Merku Garachi Malai’ for Pangu alias Anthony, this time Suri has got that opportunity.
Running out of data or not getting the net can bring everyone down, from young to old, in today’s touch screen life, all emotions and expressions of human feelings are conveyed through lifeless emoji toys. In such a time when the cell phone carrying radiation in the bag has become a society, Ilayaraja sows the song of wild jasmine to lead the way and sprouts in the moisture of human minds. The song ‘Pahinneduka Kattamalli’ has become a contemporary example of such noiseless music and song that reaches the ears and invades the hearts and can be heard and enjoyed at any time.
