This month’s post is a classical-based song from the movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a Hindi remake of Fazil’s Manichitrathaazhu(Malayalam). The movie won accolades in all languages it was remade in-Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. This song appears in the climax. With the variable tempo in the composition, beautiful harkats and jugalbandhi in the sargam part, the song soared up in popularity immensely in the year 2007. I’ve performed this song atleast 4 times in various occasions, the last of which was AID benefit show in Feb 2009. The response to this song has remained tremendous till date-once again re-inforcing that it is bound to be evergreen.
