Song: Megam Vandhu Pogum
Composer: Vidyasagar
Lyrics: Arivumadhi
Singer: Anwesha Dutta, Madhu Balakrishnan
Karu Palaniappan (like Cheran) has the trend of having good songs in his movies and this is a movie where he himself played the role of the protagonist. “Melody King” Vidyasagar has scored for some of his other movies and this movie is by far their best in terms of the quality of the output. This song based on Bageshri raga is a cracker of a tune and it is the debut song of the talented singer Anwesha Dutta. Madhu Balakrishnan just sings a very small portion in the middle otherwise it is Anwesha shining all the way. Her rendition is fantastic and she takes the already-fantastic tune to another level. I guess she has not got many chances yet (she sings in live shows) but this might still be her best song. The orchetration is a little techno except for the ocassional violin and a bit of Veena and the good thing is Vidyasagar allows Anwesha’s voice to be displayed in all its glory. This is a must-listen song and if you compile a Vidyasagar melody playlist it is sure to be there!
