This song is a beautiful song , it begins with a Hindustani-styled alaap and Shehnai which is played very differently and sounds grand (usually Shehnai pieces sound sad with exceptions like Humma from Bombay). The overall tune structure is really good and in the paragraphs the singers kind of extend the lines at the end which gives a different feel. The background percussion in the song is again very good and it&#8217;s played off-beat, its expected that the percssuion will be special in the song as Ranjit is a drummer. Overall, this is a song worth hearing many times for the fabulous tune and some great singing by Hariharan &amp; Nandini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song: Naram Pookal Composer: Ranjit Barot Lyrics:Na.Muthukumar Singers: Hariharan, Nandini Srikar Movie: Urchagam Ranjit Barot is a famous drummer and works with fusion musicians and has also arranged music for some composers in Bollywood.
