I read that it's based on Maya Malava Gowlai, hence the likeness to <em>Kaadhal Kavidhaigal</em>. Vijay, I don't remember that song from 'Ilayavan'. Got to dig into my computer to see if I have that mp3. Someone will probably have to drug, tie and gag me before they videotaped me in a car and then posted it on Google! :) Maybe I should put a tiny photo in the 'About Me' section to resolve such doubts instantly in the future. :) I’m not sure, Bala.

Hardly anything impressive. And a bunch of Yesudas-wannabes and clones singing doesnt add much value to the tunes either. Oru chiri kandaal also reminds one of "en kanavil muzhudhum neeye neeye raasathi" sung by Unni Krishnan for Raja (I think from "ILayavan"). Pleasant to listen to, though. Manoj, which one of the two in the car is you? :-) Raja has trickled down in Mallu too of late. Hardly anything impressive.

It's based on "sarasAngi" isn't it? Yeah it’s a good song, especially when you’re travelling. It’s based on “sarasAngi” isn’t it?
