When the movie Kadhalukku Mariyadhai hit the silver screens almost 3 decades back, it came as a refreshing change and was lapped up big time by the on goers. It set the box office on fire registering zinging collections well in excess of 30x of the value of investment.
The movie starred current Chief Minister of the state Vijay and his pair was the elegant Shalini who had made the shift from a child artist by playing her first major role as a senior artist. Vijay's image as a soft chocolate boy lover elevated his charm and managed to win hearts not just with his lady love in the film but also the audience in general who saw him as an upcoming love hero having given a string of hits in the romantic genre.
The songs carved out for this movie were magnificent with one number especially being the stand out in the form of Ennai Thaalatta Varuvalo. It's a song composed using the Madhyamam 'Ma' as the base note and gives such a soft soulful love feel even when listened to it today.
Attempted a small portion of this vintage lilting composition beginning from the Charanam and traversing back to the Pallavi. The melting lyrics were written by Palani Bharathi and rendered by the duo of Hariharan & Bhavadharini with music set to tune by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja. The movie title translates as 'Respect for Love' and this song truly pays homage to it in every little way.
