- An evergreen song by TMS and P.Suseela. Music by K.V.Mahadevan. Lyrics by Kannadasan.
- Manisegaran wrote in the KVM thread:
KUNGUMAM (1963)
This is a film of Sivaji. This film had good songs and the film ran well. Sivaji Ganesan, Ranga Rao, MV Rajamma, Vijayakumari and Saradha are the main stars.
There is this love duet by TMS and P Suseela, that would remain one of my favourite songs of all times. KVM has once again composed in a manner that is truly mind-boggling.
- In the last part of the song, PS hums in the background as TMS sings the pallavi. For me, this is the most beautiful part of the song, and I wonder why the humming was not used in the initial stages of the song. It almost looks like an afterthought to let PS hum in the background. The song is also let down the repetition of each line in the charanam. Why should each line be sung twice? Was it a filler because Kannadasan wouldn't give different lyrics? :)
